Comparative Study
Findings of chest radiograph and spiral computed tomography in Swyer-James syndrome.
To evaluate the value of X-ray and spiral computed tomography (SCT) in the diagnosis of Swyer-James syndrome (SJS). ⋯ SCT scan is superior to chest radiography in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of SJS.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Forced-air warming and fluid warming minimize core hypothermia during abdominal surgery.
To evaluate the effect of intraoperative combined forced-air warming and fluid warming system on patient's core temperature, blood loss, transfusion demand, extubation time, and incidence of postoperative shivering. ⋯ Active warming with air-forced blanket and fluid warming system provides sufficient heat to prevent hypothermia during abdominal surgery.

To evaluate the efficacy of simultaneous anterior and posterior hemivertebra resection in the treatment of congenital kyphoscoliosis caused by fully-segmented hemivertebra. ⋯ One-stage hemivertebra resection has a good result in the surgical treatment of congenital kyphoscoliosis caused by fully-segmented hemivertebra, and may shorten fusion levels if performed at an earlier age.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Reassessment of defibrase in treatment of acute cerebral infarction: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of defibrase in patients with acute cerebral infarction by a large sample, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. ⋯ The defibrase is effective to improve neurological function and function of daily living for patients with acute cerebral infarction within 12 hours of symptom onset. The efficacy was even better for acute cerebral infarction within 6 hours of onset. The increased risks of intra- and extracranial hemorrhage during defibrase administration were related to the plasma fibrinogen level.

To evaluate the effectiveness of three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) guided radiofrequency trigeminal rhizotomy (RF-TR) in treatment of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN). ⋯ 3D-CT foramen ovale locations can raise the successful rate of puncture, enhance the safety, and reduce the incidence rate of complication.
