Objective To explore the MRI appearances of type Ⅴ bone contusion of knee, and explore the diagnostic value and clinical significance of MRI. Methods A retrospective review of 1672 consecutive MRI examinations of acutely injured knees was performed to screen patients with type Ⅴ bone contusion. The MRI findings of them were analyzed by two musculoskeletal radiologists. Results The type Ⅴ bone contusion of knee was found in 43 (2.6%)patients, involving both the inferomedial patella and the anterolateral femoral condyle. Bone contusion was defined as low signal on T_1WI, intermediate or slight hypointense signal on T_2WI,and high signal intensity on fat saturation PDWI, which could be easily detected on axial, sagittal or coronal MR images. Other concomitant specific MR findings included fracture in 9 patients, chondral injury in 29 patients, and lateral patellar subluxation or complete dislocation in 27 patients. Injury of the medial retinaculum was diagnosed and classified in 37 cases, which could be observed best on axial images. Conclusions MRI was accurate in detecting the type Ⅴ bone contusion and that is very helpful for diagnosis and treatment of transient lateral patellar dislocation,and should be used as a routine examination for knee trauma. Axial MR examination should be performed to evaluated the medial patellar retinaculum injury when type Ⅴ bone contusion was found.

Objective:To investigate the reliability of a tool based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in the assessment of functioning despite disability.Methods:A total of 371 patients were assessed using a tool based on the ICF rehabilitation set combined with a numerical rating scale ranging from 0 to 10. The internal consistency, inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability were analyzed.Results:The scale′s Cronbach′s alpha coefficient was 0.89. The inter-rater correlation coefficient was 0.85, and the correlations among the items ranged from 0.78 to 0.94. The intra-rater correlation coefficient with the scale was 0.95, with the item correlations ranging from 0.72 to 0.97. Only item b230 Hearing function did not correlate well.Conclusions:The functioning assessment tool based on the ICF rehabilitation set when combined with a numerical rating scale has internal consistency, inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability sufficient for use in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the status quo of knowledge-attitude-practice in preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) among medical staff in Shandong Province and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide guidance for the prevention and treatment of VTE. Methods In November 2017, 1 987 medical staff from 52 hospitals in Shandong Province were investigated by filling out an electronic questionnaire with a self-designed questionnaire on knowledge, attitude and behavior related to VTE prevention among medical staff. Results The knowledge score on VTE prevention of medical staff was (19.49±2.33), attitude score (21.82±2.55), practice score (64.87±9.54), respectively accounted for 88.59%, 87.28% and 81.09%. The total scores of knowledge, belief and practice of VTE prevention among medical staff in different hospital grades, occupations, educational background, professional titles and departments were statistically significant (F=9.419, 8.418, 2.823, 6.852, 6.375; P＜ 0.05). Conclusions Medical staff have a higher level of knowledge and attitude towards prevention of VTE, but lack of behavioral knowledge. The hospital should establish a standardized VTE prevention and management system to raise the level of VTE prevention and control.

Osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly will seriously reduce their quality of life and life expectancy. For osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, spinal reconstruction is necessary, which should comprehensively consider factors such as the physical condition, fracture type, clinical characteristics and osteoporosis degree. While there lacks relevant clinical norms or guidelines on selection of spinal reconstruction strategies. In order to standardize the concept of spinal reconstruction for osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, based on the principles of scientificity, practicality and progressiveness, the authors formulated the Clinical guideline for spinal reconstruction of osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in elderly patients ( version 2022), in which suggestions based on evidence of evidence-based medicine were put forward upon 10 important issues related to the fracture classification, non-operative treatment strategies and surgical treatment strategies in spinal reconstruction after osteoporosis thoracolumbar fracture in the elderly, hoping to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
