摘要:
Objective:To explore the feasibility of the application of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the diagnosis of congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia (CPT) in children.Methods:Ten children with neurofibromatosis type Ⅰ (NF1) and CPT were treated in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2019, and enrolled as the experimental group.The bone tissue samples were collected and subjected to OCT scanning after intraoperative observation and evaluation, and were contrasted with conventional histological examination.During the same period, the bone tissues of 5 non-NF1 and non-CPT induced-labor fetuses were collected as the control group for the above examination, and the bone tissue examination results of the experimental group and the control group were compared as well.Results:Compared with the bone tissues of the control group, that of the experimental group displayed thickening trabecular bone, part of trabecular bone fusion, disordered arrangement, proliferation and fatification of interstitial fibrous tissue.OCT scan can directly show the nerves and blood vessels in the bone tissue, scattered in adipose tissue.OCT scan showed that the bone tissues of the control group were neatly arranged, with dense and regular shadows.The bone tissues of the experimental group could be observed with strong refraction, loose arrangement, and disordered bone fractures, fibrous ossification, scattered nerves, blood vessels, and increased vacuolar fat cells.Conclusions:OCT can quickly and clearly scan the freshly isolated tissues and directly display the internal structure of the tissues.It is highly compatible with routine pathological examinations and can be an effective supplement to the pathological diagnosis of children with CPT and retain samples for subsequent genetic studies.
