ObjectiveTo observe the effects of different angles between tibial tunnel and tibial platform on “killer turn” in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction,and primarily discuss a safe and reasonable tunnel technology. Methods Eighteen fresh tendon grafts were used to reconstruct the PCL on the tibial side of fresh cadavers.The tibial tunnels of all specimens were built via anteromedial approach.Based on the different angles between tibial tunnel and tibial platform,all specimens were divided into Group A (30°),Group B (40°) and Group C (50°),with six specimens in each group.Area of tibial tunnel exit,pressure of tibia tunnel exit and circulation characteristics of tendons under the cyclic load before and after biomechanical test were recorded.ResultsThe area of tibial tunnel exit had statistical difference among three groups after the test ( F =8.80,P < 0.05 ).The pressure of tibial tunnel exit had statistical difference among three groups (F =3.91,P < 0.05 ).The cyclic frequency and fatigue strength of the transplanted tendons had statistical difference among three groups under the same cyclic load ( 256 N ) and same frequency ( 126 Hz ) ( F =4.25,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions The angle between tibial tunnel and tibial platform has negative correlation with the area and pressure of tibial tunnel exit,and has positive correlation with the cyclic frequency and fatigue strength of the transplanted tendons under cyclic load.The ideal anatomy position of the tibial tunnel is the anteromedial tunnel with the angle of 40° between the tibial tunnel and the tibial platform.

Objective To explore the guidance significance of the functional MRI and DTI (fMRI ,DTI) ,intraoperative ultra-sound(IOUS) ,neuronavigation ,electrocorticography(EcoG) monitoring used in surgical treatment of low-grade gliomas with epi-lepsy as main symptom located near the eloquent brain regions .Methods 23 neurosurgical patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University during 2009-2010 were performed the retrospective analysis .The preoperative fMRI ,DTI deter-mined the positional relation between the lesions with the conduction bundle and the eloquent brain regions ,the electrophysiological and imageological examinations positioned the epileptogenic focus and lesions ,the MRI-mediated neuronavigation system was adopt-ed to formulate the surgical plan and choose the best surgical approach ,IOUS was used to perform the realtime monitoring for pre-cisely positioning the lesion range and determining the extent of resection ,and the intraoperative EcoG was adopted to determine the epileptogenic focus localization ,the lesions and the epileptogenic focus was dealed by the operating microscope for avoiding the func-tional region ,and the patient′s prognosis was evaluated and recored in detail after operation .Results By the precisely positioning the lesions and epileptogenic focus by fMRI ,DTI ,neuronavigation and ultrasound ,the lesion resection degrees by the operative mi-croscope and intraopertaive pathological guidance were 17 cases of Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade ,4 cases of Ⅲ grade and 2 case of Ⅳ-Ⅴ grade .1 case of motor aphasia ,4 cases of hemiplegia and monoplegia and 1 case of disturbance of consciousness after operation were improved by the treatment of neurotrophy ,dehydration and hyperbaric oxygen and discharged from hospital with rehabilitation .No death case occurred .The evaluation of the life quality :20 cases ofⅠ-Ⅱ grade ,3 cases of Ⅲ grade and no vegetable survival case of Ⅳ grade . The evaluation of resection clinical effect :20 cases of cure ,3 cases of improvement ,no case of as before and exacerbation .After fol-lowed up for 6-24 months ,according to Engel classification of seizure efficacy assessment :Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade in 21 cases ,Ⅲ grade in 2 case ,no case of Ⅳgrade .Conclusion fMRI ,DTI ,neuronavigation ,IOUS and EcoG for guiding the operation of low grade gliomas located near the eloquent brain regions can resect the lesion to the largest extent and simultaneously deal with epileptogenic focus , effectively protect the neurological function of the functional region ,greatly reduce the side-injury of the normal brain tissues in the functional region ,at the same time increase the curative effect of symptomatic epilepsy .

Objective:
To explore the mediation mechanism of coronary artery lesion among both male and female Kawasaki disease (KD) children.
Methods:
Children with KD that hospitalized in the Wenzhou Medical University affiliated Yuying Children’s Hospital from January 2009 to December 2014, were included in this study. Differences on demographical characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory indicators, regimen and time of treatment, results from pre/post echocardiography and treatment between male and female patients, were compared. The independent effect of gender on the risk of coronary artery lesions (CAL) was evaluated, and the mediating effect of BMI, visiting time and KD type on the association between gender and CAL were also studied.
Results:
The average BMI level of male patients was higher than that of female patients. The difference was statistically significant (
