Objective To provide coronary sectional anatomical basis for imaging diagnosis of the injure and disease of the knees.Methods 5 right knees of male adults cadavers were used . After the MR imaging examination,all specimens were frozen and cut into 6 coronary sections . Results The morphological charactenstics relation and the law of variation of the articular facets,articular capsule,articular cavity,cruciate ligaments,menisci,synovial plicae and its surrounding structures on all coronary sections of knees were observed, and compared with the corresponding MR images .Conclusion The variation of morphology and structures of all coronary sectional specimens of knee joint provided foundation of dependable anatomy and clinical value for medical imaging diagnosis .

Objective To analyze the clinical and dosimetric risk factors for computed tomography (CT) grade of radiation-induced lung injury in lung cancer treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT).Methods Eighty-nine lung cancer patients treated with 3DCRT were enrolled and CT scan images in more than 6 months were retrospectively analyzed.Clinical and dosimetric parameters were reviewed.Radiation-induced lung injuries were classified into 5 grades on CT images.Grade 3 or worse were considered clinically significant.Statistical software SPSS IS.0 was used to analyze the clinical and dosimetric risk factors that influenced the CT grade of radiation-induced lung injury.Results Eight of 89 patients (9.0%) developed grade 0 of radiation-induced lung injury,13 developed grade 1 (14.6%) ,24 developed grade 2 (27.0%) ,23 developed grade 3 (25.8%) and 21 developed grade 4 (23.6%).Univariable analysis showed that concurrent chemotherapy (CCT),GTV margin,involved ipsilateral lung mean lung dose(IMLD) ,the percent of involved ipsilateral lung receiving over IS,20,25 ,30,35 ,40 and 45 Gy (V_(15),V_(20) ,V_(25),V_(30) ,V_(35),V_(40) ,V_(45) were significantly associated with over grade 3 of radiation-induced lung injury .On multivariate logistic regression analysis,CCT,GTV margin and V_(20) of ipsilateral lung emerged as statistically significant risk factors of over grade 3 radiation-induced lung injuries CT images.Conclusions CCT,GTV margin and V_(20) of ipsilateral lung might be clinical and dosimetric risk factors associated with the severe CT grade of radiation-induced lung injury for lung cancer treated with 3DCRT.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) refers to the sudden, unexpected and unexplained death of epilepsy patients, which is an important reason for the significant increase of the death risk of epilepsy patients. The risk factors of SUDEP are related to poor control of seizures, nocturnal seizures, prone position, antiepileptic drugs, comorbidity, etc. Epilepsy death caused by SUDEP has become a major public health problem. The latest progress in neuropathology and cardiopulmonary pathology of SUDEP was reviewed in this article.
