Objective:
To compare the diagnostic performance between panoramic radiography(PR)and cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)in the assessment of external root resorption(ERR)of mandibular second molars associated with impacted third molars.
Methods:
A total number of 832 patients with 1 074 mesially and horizontally impacted mandibular third molars treated at our institution from January 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Presence of ERR on the adjacent second molar was investigated with PR and CBCT. Factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy of PR were determined.
Results:
The overall incidence of ERR in second molars was 33.15%(356/1 074)as detected by CBCT images. The accuracy of PR was 66.39%. Multivariate Logistic regression analyses further revealed that middle and Class Ⅲ impaction, crown contact or overlap with the root of adjacent tooth were risk factors for inaccurate diagnosis of PR(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The accuracy of detection on ERR of mandibular second molar associated with impacted third molar using panoramic radiography is lower. CBCT is recommended for this clinical scenario.

Objective Lung ultrasound has been used extensively to diagnose many types of lung disease.This study aimed to evaluate the pulmonary reasons for long-term oxygen dependence (LTOD) in premature infants using lung ultrasound.Methods Lung ultrasound was routinely performed in 50 premature infants clinically diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD).Results Among the 50 patients studied,there were 9 cases of atelectasis,4 cases of pneumonia,2 cases of severe pulmonary edema,and 3 cases of pulmonary edema and consolidation that coexisted with BPD.The babies' oxygen dependence either resolved completely or significantly decreased following appropriate treatments.Conclusion More than onethird of the cases of LTOD in premature babies were caused by either BPD alone or diseases other than BPD.Lung ultrasound plays an important role in differentiating pulmonary causes of LTOD in BPD patients,and the results of our study suggest that modifying the diagnostic criteria for BPD may be necessary.

Objective To investigate the situation of oxygen supplement and the incidence and clinical characteristics of long-term oxygen inhalation newborns in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU).Methods The records of oxygen supplement and the related clinical data of 12 155 neonates admitted in our NICU from Oct 2009 to May 2011 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.The results were compared with the data from a survey on 19 hospitals in China which reported by other authors.Results In 12 155 newborns,4 951 were full term,7 204 were preterm.One hundred and two patients (0.84%,102/12 155 ) accepted oxygen for more than 28 days.Among them,88 were preterm,14 were full term,with the average gestational age (31.16 ±3.70) weeks,the average birth weight (1.60 ±0.68) kg and the mean oxygen supplement period (40.60 ± 12.25) d.Finally,98 were cured or improved,4 died.The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in 7 204 preterm infants was 1.22% ( 88/7 204) according to the standard of continuous oxygen supply more than 28 days after birth.The incidence of BPD in preterm infants less than 32 weeks was 4.92% (68/1 381 ) according to the standard of continuous oxygen supply more than 28 days after birth,while the rate was only 2.10% (29/1 381 ) according to the standard of continuous oxygen supply more than 36 weeks postmenstrual age.The rates of BPD according to the two different standards were significantly different ( x2 =16.251,P <0.001 ).There were significant differences in the rate of supply oxygen( x2 =119.99) and supply oxygen time( F =109.27 ) among different gestational age groups in overall the 5 499 neonates ( P <0.001 ),but no significant differences in the average time of oxygen supply and mechanical ventilation among different gestational age groups in infants with long-term oxygen dependence ( P > 0.05 ).There were significant differences in rates of pulmonary surfactant therapy,heart failure,retinopathy of prematurity,congenital heart disease,other congenital malformation and mortality among different gestational age groups in long-term oxygen dependence infants (x2 =8.789,13.538,23.176,7.778,8.842,8.246,P < 0.05 ).As compared with the data from 19 hospitals,the corrected rate of long-term oxygen supplement in preterm infants in our hospital was obviously lower[0.99% (71/7204) vsl.54% (190/12 351),P <0.001].Conclusion Theincidence of BPD in our NICU is low.Lower gestational age,immature lung and secondary lung injury may be the mainly cause of neonatal long-term oxygen dependence,but some factors such as congenital heart disease,congenital malformations should be considered in more mature infants.The most appropriate standard for BPD still remains to be discussed.

Objective To evaluate the value of lung ultrasound in diagnosing infectious pneumonia (IPN) of newborns. Methods Seventy-two infants hospitalized from September 1, 2012 to May 30, 2013, in Bayi Children's Hospital, General Hospital of Beijing Military Command were divided into two groups. The study group consisted of 32 newborn infants diagnosed as IPN by medical history, clinical manifestations and chest X-ray, while the control group consisted of 40 neonates without any lung diseases. In a quiet state, the infants were placed in supine, side or prone position for lung ultrasound examination. The lung field was divided into three areas by the anterior and posterior axillary line. The regions of the bilateral lung were scanned by the probe which was vertical with the ribs. Fisher's exact was performed for stastical analysis. Results The most important ultrasound imaging findings of IPN included lung consolidation of varying size and shape with irregular and serrated margins (100%, 32/32), dynamic air bronchograms (100%, 32/32), A-line disappearance (100%, 32/32) and interstitial syndrome (100%, 32/32). Other common ultrasound signs included pleural line abnormalities (91%, 29/32), lung pulse (38%, 12/32) and dynamic air bronchograms (66%, 21/32) under real-time ultrasound. Pleural effusion was an infrequent sign that existed in 9%(3/32)of IPN patients. None of these abnormalities was observed in the control group. Conclusion Lung ultrasound is reliable for the diagnosis of IPN and can be routinely performed in neonatal intensive care units, and a large area of lung consolidation with irregular margins A-line disappearance, interstitial syndrome and pleural line abnormalities are the main image findings.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of lung ultrasonography for transient tachypnea of new-born (TTN).Methods From January to December 201 4,a total of 1 358 children were hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Center and underwent lung ultrasonography at the Bayi Children′s Hospital,Beijing Military General Hospital.According to the patients′medical histories,clinical presentations,arterial blood gas analysis,chest X -ray examinations,and lung ultrasound examinations,there were 41 2 cases of patients without pulmonary lesions,228 cases of TTN,358 cases of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS),85 cases of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS),21 5 ca-ses of infectious pneumonia,and 60 other cases at the time of hospital admission.In a resting state,the patients were placed in a supine,lateral recumbent or prone position.By using the anterior and posterior axillary lines as boundaries, the lung was divided into 3 regions:anterior,lateral,and posterior.The probe was perpendicular or parallel to the ribs, and each region of both sides of the lung was scanned.The scan results were compared to the conventional chest X -ray results.Results The main ultrasonic characteristics of TTN was pulmonary edema.In severe cases,the ultrasound showed a white lung or compact B -line.Compact B -line had 1 00.0% sensitivity and 95.3% specificity for diagno-sing severe TTN.Mild TTN presented as pulmonary interstitial syndrome or double lung point.Double lung point might appear during the recovery period of mild TTN or other diseases,such as RDS,MAS,and pneumonia,among others. Lung consolidation and air bronchogram were not observed in patients with TTN.Pleural effusion might occur in a varie-ty of lung diseases,and pleural line abnormality,A -line disappearance,and B -line or pulmonary interstitial syndrome were common ultrasonic manifestations of a variety of lung diseases.Conclusions Ultrasonic diagnosis of TTN,mainly based on pulmonary edema without lung consolidation and air bronchogram,is accuracy and reliable;however,double lung point is not a specific sign of TTN,whereas the identification of a white lung and compact B -line is a sensitive and specific sign of severe TTN.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinic and pathologic features of one patient diagnosed with neurocutaneous melanosis ( NCM ) by biopsy.MethodsA 21-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of tinnitus,headache,vomiting and 1-month history of impaired vision.At birth,a massive nevus covering most of the posterior abdomen had been noted as well as the presence of multiple smaller lesions all over the body.Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a posterior fossa cyst compatible with the Dandy-Walker syndrome and extensive leptomeningeal enhancement. Surgery was performed to cystectomy and to obtain pathologic specimens from the leptomeninges. Biopsy and immunohistochemical study was performed.ResultsAt surgery,diffuse black pigmentation of the leptomeninges and the cyst was found.Under microscope,the cyst and leptomeninges were composed with melanocytes with variable pigmentation.Those cells positive for HMB45,MelanA,S100 and vimentin.Ki-67 positive cells < 1%.The pathologic diagnosis wasleptomeningeal diffusemelanocytosis. Thepatientdied 2months after thesurgery.ConclusionsNCM is characterized by a focal or diffuse proliferation of melanin-producing cells in both the skin and the leptomeninges.NCM could be compatible with the Dandy-Walker syndrome.Definite diagnosis relies upon the histological data obtained by mean of biopsy.
