Objective To discuss the treatment strategy of knee dislocation and to evaluate its outcome.Methods Thirty-six patients with unilateral knee dislocation treated with individualized protocol were studied retrospectively,including 22 males and 14 females with an average age of 35 years (range,19-72 years).There were 30 acute and 6 chronic knee dislocations.According to the modified Schenck's classification of knee dislocation,there were 7 KD- Ⅰ and 23 KD-Ⅲ cases in the acute category,and all 6 chronic cases were KD-Ⅲ.Seven acute KD- Ⅰ and 6 chronic KD-Ⅲ cases underwent one-stage arthroscopic surgery.In 23 acute KD-Ⅲ cases,2 were treated conservatively with splint or brace due to advanced age,18 with staged surgery,3 with one-stage surgery due to concomitant vascular and nerve injury.Functional and clinical evaluation was conducted at final follow-up.Results All 36 patients were followed up for an average of 27 months (range,18-36 months).The Lysholm score (82.0±11.4),Tegner score (5.5±1.3),and knee range of motion (118.3°±19.2°) at final follow-up showed a statistically significant improvement compared with preoperative results (P＜O.O1).Eight (23.5％) patients had residual knee instability:posterior drawer test and Sag sign were positive (++ or +++) in 8 knees,valgus instability (++) in 1 and varus instability (+++) in 1.The remaining 28 knees were stable.Conclusion Special attention should be paid to rotational knee dislocation with single cruciate ligament rupture.Properly individualized treatment plan is the key to optimal outcome.Arthroscopic surgery can lead to successful outcome.Early one-stage arthroscopic surgery is recommended for acute KD-Ⅰ and chronic KD-Ⅲ dislocation,staged arthroscopic surgery for acute KD-Ⅲ dislocation.

Objective To analyze the stress distribution of the weakened root dentine restored with titanium post-core crown and fiber post-core crown by finite element method.Methods The sample was scanned by Inveon Micro-CT technology from incised margin to root apex at 21 μm interval to obtain transverse data of DICOM format.The three-dimensional finite element model was created by rebuilding the morphology of maxillary central incisor with Inveon Research Workplace as well as Mimics,Geomagic and Catia software.The model was meshed and loaded to analyze the stress distribution on the weakened dentine of root by finite element method.Results The maximum stress,shearing stress and equivalent stress of the root restored with fiber post-core crown were 60%less than the stresses of the root restored with titanium post-core crown in the experiment.The stress on various parts of the root restored with titanium post-core crown was higher than that of the root restored with fiber post-core crown.Furthermore,the stress concentration occurred mainly on the labial interface of the upper 1/3 of root. Especially when the root was restored with titanium post-core crown,the stress value reached 37 .73 MPa,which was 1.9 times that of fiber post-core crown.Conclusion The finite element analysis indicates that the fiber post-core crown is better than titanium post-core crown in avoiding stress concentration and root fracture in the restoration of weakened root of maxillary central incisors.

Motion artifact is a significant source of noise in ambulatory physiologic signals and can affect the diagnoses seriously. To cope with this problem, we adopted certain methods for removing motion artifact from ECG signals via synchronous acquisition of the elector/skin impedance as the reference signal of adaptive filter. The results demonstrated that 3rd order RLS adaptive filter can remove the baseline shift effectively with an exciting current of 120 Hz and 50 microA. Such system was implemented to investigate the utility of ambulatory heart rate monitoring, which provides convenient and reliable monitoring services for patients.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of a fetus with 17q12 microdeletion syndrome. METHODS: A fetus with 17q12 microdeletion syndrome who was diagnosed at Huzhou Maternal & Child Health Care Hospital in June 2020 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the fetus was collected. The fetus was subjected to chromosomal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). To determine the origin of fetal chromosomal abnormality, its parents were also subjected to CMA assay. The postnatal phenotype of the fetus was also investigated. RESULTS: Prenatal ultrasound revealed polyhydramnios and fetal renal dysplasia. The fetus was found to have a normal chromosomal karyotype. CMA has detected a 1.9 Mb deletion in the 17q12 region, which has encompassed five OMIM genes including HNF1B, ACACA, ZNHIT3, CCL3L1 and PIGW. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the 17q12 microdeletion was predicted as pathogenic copy number variation (CNV). CMA analysis has detected no pathogenic CNV in both parents. After birth, the child was found to have renal cysts and abnormal brain structure. Combined with the prenatal findings, the child was diagnosed with 17q12 microdeletion syndrome. CONCLUSION The fetus has 17q12 microdeletion syndrome presenting as abnormalities of the kidney and central nervous system, which are strongly correlated with functional defects of the deletion region involving the HNF1B and other pathogenic genes.

Objective To determine the levels of coagulation and inflammatory factors in women with moderate and severe ovarian endometriosis so as to investigate the possible role of coagulation and inflammatory factors in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Methods From June 2015 and June 2017,clinical data of 366 patients with pathologically diagnosed moderate and severe ovarian endometriosis (case group) and 244 patients with pathologically diagnosed benign ovarian cysts (control group)in Women′s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed.The levels of coagulation indicators, inflammatory factors and serum tumor markers were measured. Then, the values of these indicators in diagnosis of endometriosis were analyzed. Results(1)The levels of plasma prothrombin time(PT)and thrombin time(TT)in patients with ovarian endometriosis [median: 12.8 s (range:12.4-13.2 s)and 15.5 s(range:15.1-15.9 s),respectively]were significantly shorter than those with benign ovarian cysts[median:13.0 s(range:12.5-13.4 s)and 15.7 s(range:15.3-16.1 s),respectively;all P<0.01].The levels of plasma fibrinogen(FIB)and D-dimer[D-D;median:3.1 g/L(range:2.8-3.5 g/L)and 0.9 mg/L(range:0.6-2.1 mg/L),respectively]in patients with ovarian endometriosis were significantly higher than those with benign ovarian cysts[median:2.8 g/L(range:2.6-3.2 g/L)and 0.6 mg/L(range:0.4-1.2 mg/L), respectively; P=0.000]. Moreover, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio [PLR; median: 2.3 (range: 1.8-3.1) and 144 (range: 113-179), respectively] in patients with ovarian endometriosis were significantly higher than those with benign ovarian cysts [median: 2.1 (range: 1.6-2.8) and 128 (range: 104-165), respectively; P<0.01]. Furthermore, in patients with ovarian endometriosis, the levels of PT were significantly shorter in stage Ⅳ endometriosis than that in stage Ⅲ endometriosis (P<0.05).The levels of FIB and PLR in patients with stageⅣendometriosis were significantly higher than those in patients with stage Ⅲ endometriosis(P<0.01).(2)The cut-off value of CA125was 27.2 kU/L with a sensitivity of 83.6%,the cut-off value of FIB was 3.1 g/L with a sensitivity of 53.2%,while the sensitivity of combination index(FIB×CA125)was 84.9%.Conclusion The abnormality of coagulation and inflammatory factors may be involved in the pathogenesis of moderate and severe ovarian endometriosis,and the detection of coagulation and inflammatory factors may be have important clinical significance for the diagnosis and treatment of moderate and severe ovarian endometriosis.
