Objective To explore the application value of detection of Mycoplasma,Chlamydia and anti-sperm antibodies for male infertility.Methods Culture method,immune chromatography,and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay were adopted for the detection of Mycoplasma,Chlamydia,and anti-sperm antibodies respectively in 102 cases of infertile males and 42 cases fertile males.And the routine semen analysis was proceed as well.All the subjects were divided into 4 groups according to the detection re-sults:simple Mycoplasma or/and Chlamydia positive group(71 cases),simple anti-sperm antibodies positive group(21 cases),My-coplasma and Chlamydia or/and anti-sperm antibodies positive group(8 cases),Mycoplasma,Chlamydia and anti-sperm antibodies negative group(44 cases).The main indexes of semen routine were compared among 4 groups.Results The positive rates of Myco-plasma,Chlamydia and anti-sperm antibodies in infertile males were significantly higher than those of fertile males (P <0.05).The sperm densities,activity rates,activity of simple Mycoplasma or/and Chlamydia positive group,simple anti-sperm antibodies posi-tive group,and Mycoplasma and Chlamydia or /and anti-sperm antibodies positive group were significantly lower than the nega-tive group,while the sperm malformation rates,liquefaction times,white blood cell counts of the three groups were significantly higher than the negative group(P <0.05 ).Conclusion Mycoplasma,Chlamydia infection and anti-sperm antibodies production have significant effect on the indexes of semen,which cause decline in semen quality and the occurrence of male infertility.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and the clinical value of MRI in the diagnosis of small-bowel disease. Methods Sixty-three patients with suspected small-bowel diseases and 3 volunteers without signs of small bowel disease underwent MRI examination. Thirty-one patients whose diagnoses were confirmed by pathology or clinical results were categorized into two groups (neoplastic and normeoplastic). The conspicuity of bowel wall, the sensitivity of MRI in detecting small-bowel lesions, and the accuracy rate of diagnosis were calculated. The average bowel wall thickness between the two groups was assessed by using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes, mesenteric infiltration, and small-bowel stenosis were analyzed by using Fisher's exact test in each group respectively. Results MRI examinations of all 66 subjects were successfully performed. Images were rated on a continuous 4-peint scale. Sixty-two cases (93.9%) were scored as 2 or 3. The diagnoses of 31 patients (neoplastic group (n = 10) and nonneoplastic group (n = 21) were confirmed by pathology or clinical results. The sensitivity, accuracy of MRI in identifying small bowel diseases were 100% (31/31) and 77.4% (24/31) respectively. The average bowel wall thickness of the two groups was 23 mm(7.0-65.0 mm) and 5 mm(2.0-35.0 mm) respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (Z = - 2.949, P < 0.01). Enlarged lymph nodes in mesentery were found in 7 cases in neoplastic group and 4 cases in nonneoplastic group, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two group (P < 0.05). Small-bowel stenosis was depicted in 10 cases in both groups and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P <0.01). The mesenteric infiltration sign was seen in 5 cases and 17 cases respectively, and showed no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion MRI can depict the location and extension of the small-bowel disease accurately and it is an effective method in the diagnosis of small-bowel disease.

Objective:To explore the atypical cranial MRI manifestation of patients with Wilson’s disease (WD) .Methods :The clinical features and cranial MRI manifestation of two patients with WD ,who were confirmed with clinical biochemistry and gene diagnosis ,were analyzed .Retrospectively analysis of reported cases was conducted based on review of literatures . Results:The typical WD MRI manifestations were lesions at bilateral lenticular nucleus ,thalamus and midbrain .However , these two cases showed subcortical hypointense on T 1WI ,hyperintense on T2WI ,and Flair hyperintense ,which were rare . According to the literature ,13 WD patients’ cranial MRI showed abnormal signal of subcortical white ,and lesions involved cerebral cortex in 9 of them (9 cases of frontal lobe ,4 cases of parietal lobe ,2 cases of temporal lobe ) .Among these 13 patients ,9 contained extrapyramidal manifestation as bradykinesia ,movement disorder and etc ,6 had intellectual impairment or dementia ,and 9 had epileptic seizure .The high rate of seizure might be related to cortical or subcortical lesions ,which had no special relationship with particular mutation in ATP7B gene .Conclusions :The cranial MRI manifestations of WD patients are variable ,and closely related to clinical symptoms .

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of the fractional carbon dioxide laser in the treatment of contracture scars.Methods:A retrospective before-after self-control study was conducted. From December 2016 to April 2021, 16 patients (7 males and 9 females, aged 3-49 years) with contracture scars causing impaired function of the adjacent joint were admitted to Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Eighteen joint scars of 16 patients were treated with fractional carbon dioxide laser every 2-3 months until the joint retained its normal range of motion or the effect plateaued. The treatment times of each patient were recorded. Before the first treatment and 6 months after the last treatment, the ranges of motion of the affected joint were measured in each patient, and the difference was calculated, meanwhile, the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the scar of each patient. In the treatment of 1 joint scar in each of 6 patients (totally 6 times of treatments), the ranges of motion of the affected joint before the current treatment, immediately after the treatment, and at the first follow-up after the treatment were documented, and the differences between the ranges before and immediately after the treatment as well as between the ranges before and at the first follow-up after the treatment were calculated. Adverse effects after the treatment in the treatment area were documented. At the last follow-up, a self-made questionnaire was used to collect the implementation status of the physical therapy and other scar management modalities during the treatment interval and follow-up period. Data were statistically analyzed with Wilcoxon rank sum test.Results:Eighteen joint scars in 16 patients received 2 (1, 3) times of fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment. The range of motion of the affected joint of 16 patients 6 months after the last treatment was 56.5 (39.0, 128.8)°, notably higher than 38.4 (22.9, 116.3)° before the first treatment ( Z=-3.724, P<0.01), showing a remarkable improvement by 17.4 (8.0, 24.1)°. The vascular distribution, softness, and thickness scores, and total score in VSS scoring of scars of 16 patients 6 months after the last treatment were significantly lower than those before the first treatment ( Z=-2.989, -3.762, -2.814, -3.739, P<0.01), with the most obvious improvement in softness. In 6 times of treatments, the range of motion of the affected joint immediately after treatment and at the first follow-up of (2.5±0.6) months after treatment were 156.2 (148.0, 164.2)° and 160.2 (156.7, 166.4)°, both notably higher than 151.4 (145.7, 155.3)° before treatment ( Z=-2.201, -2.201, P<0.05), showing a remarkable improvement by 9.1 (4.4, 13.0)° and 13.1 (8.0, 15.7)°, respectively. No adverse effects such as blisters, infection, or hypertrophic scar formation were observed in the treatment area of 16 patients after treatment. Most patients adopted physical therapy, compression, silicone gel or sheets, and braces during the treatment interval and follow-up period. Conclusions:The fractional carbon dioxide laser can soften the scar and increase the range of motion of the affected joint, which is suitable for the clinical treatment of mild contracture scars.
