A survey on Anisakidae larvae in 29 species(134 specimens) of marine fishes in the Gulf of Tong King has been carried out.Anisakidae larvae were detected in 15 out of 29 species.The detected specimens were identified as larvae of Anisakis simplex,Hysterothylacium and Pseudoterranova.The parasitization rate of Anisakis simplex larvae,the main pathogen of anisakiasis,in fishes was 30.6% (41/134),while the parasitization rates of Hysterothylacium and Pseudoterranova larvae were comparatively low.Hysterothylacium larvae China type I detected from Muraenesox clnereus and Trichiurus Tiaumela was a new record.Their morphological characteristics were summarized as follows: 1.Length 10.78-14.18mm,Width 0.25-0.38mm,the length of the esophagus is 1.14-1.73mm,intestinal cecum 0.77-1.24mm and ventricular appendage 6.27-8.40mm,extending parallelly with the intestine to the last quarter of the larva; 2.Boring tooth was present,but mucron was absent; 3.No genital anlage was observed.

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. PURPOSE: We compared the accuracy of O-arm-based navigation with computed tomography (CT)-based navigation in scoliotic surgery. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: No previous reports comparing the results of O-arm-based navigation with conventional CT-based navigation in scoliotic surgery have been published. METHODS: A total of 222 pedicle screws were implanted in 29 patients using CT-based navigation (group C) and 416 screws were implanted in 32 patients using O-arm-based navigation (group O). Postoperative CT was performed to assess the screw accuracy, using the established Neo classification (grade 0: no perforation, grade 1: perforation <2 mm, grade 2: perforation > or =2 and <4, and grade 3: perforation > or =4 mm). RESULTS: In group C, 188 (84.7%) of the 222 pedicle screw placements were categorized as grade 0, 23 (10.4%) were grade 1, 11 (5.0%) were grade 2, and 0 were grade 3. In group O, 351 (84.4%) of the 416 pedicle screw placements were categorized as grade 0, 52 (12.5%) were grade 1, 13 (3.1%) were grade 2, and 0 were grade 3. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in the prevalence of grade 2.3 perforations between groups C and O. The time to position one screw, including registration, was 10.9+/-3.2 minutes in group C, but was significantly decreased to 5.4+/-1.1 minutes in group O. CONCLUSIONS: O-arm-based navigation facilitates pedicle screw insertion as accurately as conventional CT-based navigation. The use of O-arm-based navigation successfully reduced the time, demonstrating advantages in the safety and accuracy of pedicle screw placement for scoliotic surgery.
