Objective:To establish a composite functional evaluation system to study the clinical efficacy of single plate and double plate internal fixation in the treatment of C3 distal radius fractures in the elderly.Methods:62 elderly patients (≥ 60 years old) with type C3 distal radius fractures who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology from September 2018 to August 2021 were retrospectively selected and divided into two groups according to the surgical methods: bilateral plate internal fixation treatment group (double plate group) and unilateral plate internal fixation treatment group (single plate group); The preoperative anatomical angle, wrist mobility (flexion and extension) and radius shortening of the two groups were recorded. The anatomical angle, wrist mobility (flexion and extension), clinical Gartland-Werley, DASH Score for Upper Limb Function (DASH) , Wrist Joint Cooney Score and clinical healing time at the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th months after operation were followed up. A composite evaluation table was established to comprehensively evaluate the postoperative recovery of patients in the two group.Results:There was no significant difference in anatomical indexes of radius between the two groups before operation (all P>0.05). All anatomical angles and wrist range of motion were within the normal range after operation, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups in each anatomical index of radius within 3 and 6 months after operation (all P>0.05). However, the palmar inclination, ulnar deviation, wrist flexion and dorsiflexion mobility of the double plate group were relatively stable at 9 and 12 months after operation, which were better than those of the single plate group (all P<0.05). The palmar inclination and ulnar deviation of the single plate group increased with time. After operation, the radius shortening of the two groups recovered significantly, and the radius length of the double plate group was maintained better than those of the single plate group for 9 and 12 months (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the scores of the two groups within 3 and 6 months after operation (all P>0.05), but the Gartland Werley score, DASH score and Cooney wrist score of the double plate group were significantly better than those of the single plate group at 9 and 12 months after operation (all P<0.05). The clinical healing time of single plate treatment was (14.51±0.88)weeks, the longest was 108 days, while that of double plate treatment was (12.03±1.77)weeks, the longest was 129 days, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the final composite evaluation results ( P>0.05), but the total score of the double plate group was smaller than that of the single plate group, with a difference of 39.67 points, indicating that the double plate group still had certain advantages in various scores. Conclusions:According to the composite evaluation system, both single plate and double plate treatment of C3 distal radius fractures in the elderly can achieve satisfactory results. Double plate fixation of distal radius fractures still has a certain significance in maintaining joint stability and improving joint mobility.

OBJECTIVE:
To retrospectively analyze sex chromosomal abnormalities and clinical manifestations of children with disorders of sex development (DSD).
METHODS:
A total of 14 857 children with clinical features of DSD including short stature, cryptorchidism, hypospadia, buried penis and developmental delay were recruited from Zhengzhou Children's Hospital from January 2013 to March 2022. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromosomal karyotyping were carried out for such children.
RESULTS:
In total 423 children were found to harbor sex chromosome abnormalities, which has yielded a detection rate of 2.85%. There were 327 cases (77.30%) with Turner syndrome and a 45,X karyotype or its mosaicism. Among these, 325 were females with short stature as the main clinical manifestation, 2 were males with short stature, cryptorchidism and hypospadia as the main manifestations. Sixty-two children (14.66%) had a 47,XXY karyotype or its mosaicism, and showed characteristics of Klinefelter syndrome (KS) including cryptorchidism, buried penis and hypospadia. Nineteen cases (4.49%) had sex chromosome mosaicisms (XO/XY), which included 11 females with short stature, 8 males with hypospadia, and 6 cases with cryptorchidism, buried penis, testicular torsion and hypospadia. The remainder 15 cases (3.55%) included 9 children with a XYY karyotype or mosaicisms, with main clinical manifestations including cryptorchidisms and hypospadia, 4 children with a 47,XXX karyotype and clinical manifestations including short stature and labial adhesion, 1 child with a 46,XX/46,XY karyotype and clinical manifestations including micropenis, hypospadia, syndactyly and polydactyly, and 1 case with XXXX syndrome and clinical manifestations including growth retardation.
CONCLUSION
Among children with DSD due to sex chromosomal abnormalities, sex chromosome characteristics consistent with Turner syndrome was most common, among which mosaicism (XO/XX) was the commonest. In terms of clinical manifestations, the females mainly featured short stature, while males mainly featured external genital abnormalities. Early diagnosis and treatment are particularly important for improving the quality of life in such children.

Resection of oral and maxillofacial tumors is often accompanied by the inferior alveolar nerve neurectomy, resulting in abnormal sensation in lower lip. It is generally believed that spontaneous sensory recovery in this nerve injury is difficult. However, during our follow-up, patients with inferior alveolar nerve sacrifice showed different degrees of lower lip sensory recovery. In this study, a prospective cohort study was conducted to demonstrate this phenomenon and analyze the factors influencing sensory recovery. A mental nerve transection model of Thy1-YFP mice and tissue clearing technique were used to explore possible mechanisms in this process. Gene silencing and overexpression experiments were then conducted to detect the changes in cell morphology and molecular markers. In our follow-up, 75% of patients with unilateral inferior alveolar nerve neurectomy had complete sensory recovery of the lower lip 12 months postoperatively. Patients with younger age, malignant tumors, and preservation of ipsilateral buccal and lingual nerves had a shorter recovery time. The buccal nerve collateral sprouting compensation was observed in the lower lip tissue of Thy1-YFP mice. ApoD was demonstrated to be involved in axon growth and peripheral nerve sensory recovery in the animal model. TGF-β inhibited the expression of STAT3 and the transcription of ApoD in Schwann cells through Zfp423. Overall, after sacrificing the inferior alveolar nerve, the collateral compensation of the ipsilateral buccal nerve could innervate the sensation. And this process was regulated by TGF-β-Zfp423-ApoD pathway.
