Objective To analyze MRI features of real tears and pseudotears of posterior horn of the lateral meniscus (PHLM) at the insertion site of meniscofemoral ligament(MFL), and to discuss main points of differential diagnosis. Methods MR images of 32 patients with PHLM tears and 30 patients with anterior cruciate ligament tears but without PHLM tears confirmed by arthroscopy were analyzed retrospectively. Another 20 asymptomatic volunteers as controls underwent MR examination and analyzed. The number of consecutive slices displaying longitudinal increased signal in sagittal images and the length in axial images were evaluated. The one?way analysis of variance, χ2 test and ROC curve were used to analyze diagnostic value of different MRI findings. Results Longitudinal line with abnormal increased signal (pseudotear) was found in 82.0% (41/50) normal insertion site of MFLs. The typical MRI finding of real tears was peripheral longitudinal linear high signal in PHLM which reached the margin of articular surface. In sagittal images, longitudinal linear high signal was shown in (5.8 ± 1.2) slices in knees of real tears, which was more than (2.6±1.1) slices and (2.7±1.4) slices in pseudo?tear groups (F=60.9, P<0.01). The area under ROC curve was 0.96 for differentiating real tear from pseudo-tear using the number of consecutive slices displaying longitudinal increased signal in sagittal images. With a threshold of five or more consecutive images with abnormal longitudinal increased signal as the positive standard of continuous?line sign, the overall sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for diagnosing real tear were 90.6%(29/32), 90.2%(37/41) and 90.4%(66/73), respectively. The axial images showed that the length of increased signal line in the outer of PHLM was (16.4±4.9) mm in patients with real tears, which was longer than pseudo?tear groups with length of (8.1 ± 3.2) mm and (6.0 ± 3.1) mm (F=17.0, P<0.01). The area under ROC curve was 0.92 for differentiating real tear from pseudo?tear using the length in axial images. The zip sign was defined when its length was not less than 10 mm. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the zip sign was 84.4%(27/32), 90.2%(37/41) and 87.7%(64/73) respectively. In coronal images, high signal of MFL attachment insertion was shown in 71.9%(23/32), 60.0%(15/25) and 10/16 cases, there was no significant difference (χ2=0.98, P=0.61). Conclusion The continuous?line sign and zip sign are characteristic findings of PHLM tears at the insertion site of MFL attachment, which are valuable for differential diagnosis with pseudotears at the insertion site of MFL.

Objective To investigate the effect of comprehensive nursing intervention and evaluate its role in the entire clinical course of in the treatment of children with severe burns. Methods A total of 60 children with 1-5 years old with clinical diagnosis of severe burns were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by random digits table method, 30 cases in each group. The control group received routine burn care. The experimental group received comprehensive nursing interventions on the basis of routine burn care and the intervention time covered the entire course of treatment. During hospitalization, the recovery and family social system were evaluated by anxiety scales and social support scales combined with the cure rate and hospitalization of children. Results Before intervention, the score of Anxiety Rating Scale was high in both groups of families, while Social Support Scale was lower, the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the score of Anxiety Rating Scale and was Social Support Scale were (52.31±7.81), (31.52± 5.48)points in the experimental group, and (62.51 ± 6.52), (23.62 ± 5.62) points in the control group, and there were significant differences (t=5.491 3, 5.512 5, P<0.01). The length of stay was (18.34±3.58) d in the experimental group, and (21.82 ± 4.23) d in the control group, and there was significant difference(t=3.439 6, P<0.05). The cure rate was 93.33%(28/30) in the experimental group, and 56.67%(17/30) in the control group, and there was significant difference(χ2=10.755 6, P<0.05). Conclusions The comprehensive nursing intervention can provide comprehensive refinement of the overall care in children and their families, promote physical and psychological rehabilitation of children with severe burns, and repair their family and social support systems. The comprehensive nursing intervention has far-reaching implications for the rehabilitation of children with severe burns.

Objective:
To investigate work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) of workover workers in an oilfield and explore the influencing factors.
Methods:
In June 2016, 685 workover workers were selected as working group, and 191 other workers exposed to toxic and harmful operations were selected as control group. Cross sectional investigation was conducted by self-made questionnaire, and the influencing factors of musculoskeletal disorders were analyzed by unconditional multivariate Logistic regression.
Results:
The total annual prevalence of WMSDs for workover workers was 90.5%, with the highest prevalence of low back pain of 71.5%. The prevalence of WMSDs increased with the increase of service age, and the difference between the drinkers was higher than that of the non drinkers (

Aim To study the apoptosis effect of cucurbitacin Ⅱa on non-small cell lung cancer cell lines NCI-H460 and A549 and its underlying mechanism.Methods Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay.The apoptosis effect and cell cycle arrest were detected by Flow cytometry.Western blot was employed to detect the related protein.Results The proliferation of lung cancer cell lines NCI-H460 and A549 was inhibited by CuⅡa, which showed cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 224.9 nmol·L-1 and 108.3 nmol·L-1 against NCI-H460 and A549 respectively.CuⅡa induced the cells apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase.The results of Western blot showed CuⅡa inhibited the phosphorylation of STAT3 and Cofilin in a dose-dependent manner.Further, CuⅡa inhibited the phosphorylation of Aurora A, in line with the important characteristics of anti-tumor effect of Aurora A kinase inhibitor with blocking cells in the G2/M phase.Conclusion CuⅡa has obvious anti-tumor effect against non-small cell lung cancer, which suggests its value as a lead compound for lung cell carcinoma.
