Background And Aims: Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an emerging technique for the palliation of inoperable malignant biliary strictures (MBSs). We aimed to systemically investigate the long-term outcome of RFA in a large cohort of patients.

Methods: We recruited 883 patients with various MBSs who underwent endoscopic interventions at two large-volume centers; 124 patients underwent RFA and stenting, whereas 759 underwent stenting alone. Read More

Background: The epidemiology of Moebius syndrome (MBS) is difficult to assess. In the present study, we investigated the epidemiology of MBS in a well-defined population within a precise geographical area.

Materials And Methods: Our university hospital is the only national referral center for the diagnosis and treatment of MBS. Read More

In order to solve the problems of slow operation speed and low registration accuracy of thin plate spline (TPS) interpolation method for motion vector field in coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA), a multi-level B-spline interpolation method (MBS) with uniform grid is proposed. On the one hand, the interpolation method used local B-spline to refine the sparse mesh layer by layer in a multiscale way to improve the accuracy of registration. On the other hand, it used the splitting matrix method to interpolate the motion vector field, greatly reducing the operation time of interpolation. Read More

Medulloblastoma (MB) is a highly heterogeneous and one of the most malignant pediatric brain tumors, comprising four subgroups: Sonic Hedgehog, Wingless, Group 3, and Group 4. Group 3 MB has the worst prognosis of all MBs. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving the maintenance of malignancy are poorly understood. Read More
