Purpose Accurate diagnosis of triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) tear is very important for treatment. MRI is most used for diagnosing TFC tear. This paper aims to evaluate MRI and MR arthrography (MRA) for diagnosing TFC tear by meta-analysis. Materials and Methods The articles were searched in the databases such as Wanfang, VIP, CNKI, Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase and PubMed. The QUADAS items were used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. Heterogeneity of the included articles was tested. The pooled weighted sensitivity and specificity of MRI and MRA in diagnosing TFC tear were calculated, and the pooled receiver operation curve was drawn. Results Fifteen articles met the inclusion criteria, 2 were Chinese articles and 13 were English articles. The subjects and methods of the articles were different and existed heterogeneity. The sensitivity and specificity of MRI for diagnosing TFC tear were 0.66 (95% CI 0.61-0.71) and 0.75 (95% CI 0.69-0.81), and those of MRA were 0.80 (95% CI 0.73-0.87) and 0.86 (95% CI 0.74-0.93). The area under curve and Q* index of SROC of MRI were 0.8566 and 0.7875, respectively. The area under curve and Q* index of SROC of MRA were 0.9123 and 0.8446, respectively. Conclusion The accuracy of TFC tear avulsion for MRA are higher than for MRI, when there is unclear of TFC avulsion using MRI, MRA can be used for diagnosis.

Objective:To utilize MRI and plain films to observe the changes of soft tissue structures in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after closed reduction, and explore the concentric reduction rate, the "docking" rate and the femoral head necrosis rate after reduction.Methods:Retrospective analysis of unilateral completely dislocated DDH patients with closed reduction and spica casting in our hospital from October 2012 to July 2018. MRI was performed on the day of closed reduction and every 2-3 months after operation. Pelvic plain films were performed before operation and follow-up. The labro-chondral complex (LCC) of the hip was divided into 4 types on MRI images, and the reliability and repeatability of LCC classification were evaluated by intra-class correlation coefficient. Trend chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method was used to analyze the variation of thickening rate of ligamentum teres, transverse ligaments and pulvinar during MRI follow-up, and the difference of cartilaginous acetabular head index was evaluated by analysis of variance of repeated measurements or Mann-Whitney U test. The concentric reduction rate of the femoral head after performing closed reduction, the "docking" rate of the femoral headwhen the cast was changed for the last time were analyzed, and the necrosis rate of the femoral head were followed up for 18 months or more after reduction.Results:A total of 63 DDH patients (63 hips) with closed reduction were included. Intra-class correlation coefficient of LCC classification was 0.84 between observers (95%CI: 0.74-0.91) and 0.94 within observers (95%CI: 0.90-0.97) . Most LCC classifications were type 4 on the day of CR (93.7%, 59/63) , and return to normal (type 1 classifications) at the second follow-up (50.9%, 28/55). ligamentum teres, transverse ligaments and pulvinar were hypertrophic (94.5%-100%) on the day of CR, and decreased to 10.9%-12.7% at the second follow-up, which had statistically differences ( χ2=88.6; χ2=86.4; χ2=97.9, P<0.05). The cartilaginous acetabular head index was 68.1±12.1 on the day of CR, and increased to 84.4±7.0 at the second follow-up, which had statistically difference ( Z=-3.15, P=0.002). 58.7% femoral heads were "docking", 8.6% femoral head had necrosis. Conclusion:The abnormal soft tissue structures in the hip joint mostly recovered gradually after closed reduction, and 60% femoral heads could be docked, the short-term risk of the femoral head necrosis was low.

Objective To investigate the influence of psychological intervention on the physical and psychomotor development of children born of assisted reproductive technology. Methods 329 cases of ART born children in our hospital were set as the experimental group,the parturients were given pertinent psychological intervention.254 cases of children of spontaneous pregnancy were selected as the control group.The two groups were given follow-up for 24 months.Their physical condition at birth and psychomotor development during follow - up period were compared. Results Compared with the control group,length of infants at birth,body mass of the experimental group were significantly lower,and the incidence rate of premature birth,low birth weight,NICU stay during neonatal stage were higher.But there were no differences in psychomotor development between two groups. Conclusions ART born children of 24-month old show normal psychomotor development,but there are still more unfavorable physical factors,therefore,pertinent nursing intervention should be given based upon psychological intervention in clinic.
