[Objective]To investigate the hallux valgus angle and pathogenesis of hallux valgus in general population.[Method]A total of 1 233 adult population in Shijiazhuang were selected for this study by random cluster sampling method,then a questionnaire survey was participated including gender,age,nation,culture degree,inhabitate time,symptome occurrence time,original symptome,aggravate factors,relieve factors,family medical history,living habit,life style,et al.Hallux valgus angle was measured by protracter.The angle exceed 15? was confirmed the hallux valgus.The data was analysised with logistic multiple regression analysis.[Result]The average hallux valgus angle was(8.31?4.93)? of male and(9.72?7.12)? of female.There were 98 hallux valgus patients in this study,and the morbidity rate was 7.95%.The morbidity rate was 1.29% of male and 11.00% of female.Ratio of male to female was 1∶8.53.The average age was 22 years old.The concentrated symptome occurrence time was 20 to 45 years old;the average age was 25 years old.78 hallux valgus patients had a family medical history(79.6%).The dangerous factors of hallux valgus were inheritance,gender,flatfoot.The effective factors in female related to inheritance,the age that start wearing high-heel shoes but not to the height of the heel and the full time who were high-heel shoes.The aggravate factors were as follow:wearing high-heel shoes,long time standing,long time walking.The relieving factors were as follow:wearing flat and low-hell shoes,a warm water bath for foot,massage.[Conclusion]Female has a high risk to have hallux valgus.The hallux valgus has a close relationship with inheritance,and the age who start wearing high-heel shoes influences the incidence in female.

Objective To investigate the relationship of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB),Bcl-2 and Bax with limb function after acute spinal cord injury in rats. Methods Forty-eight rats were divided at random into a control group and an experimental group with 24 rats in each.The spinal cords of the rats in the experimental group were injured at the T8,9,10 level through moderate compression.Four hours,8 h,and 1,3,7 and 14 days after the injury,4 rats were selected randomly from each group and graded with a BBB score.They were then sacrificed and their spinal cords were collected.Immunohistochemical measurements were used to observe the expression of NF-κB, Bcl-2 and Bax. Results NF-κB,Bcl-2 and Bax were observed in the injured spinal nerve cells of rats in the exper imental group but were absent in the control group.After injury,the expression of these factors increased at first and then decreased.BBB scores for limb function increased gradually.No correlation was found between the changes in NF-κB and Bcl-2,but the expression of NF-κB was positively correlated with that of Bax.There was negative correla tion between NF-kB levels and BBB scores,and between NF-kB levels and the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax. Conclusion In rats,there is a close negative correlation between NF-kappa B levels,the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax and limb function after acute spinaI cord iujury.

Objective To study 3D construction and printing of bone tissue engineering scaffolds by bone defect modeling on Mimics software based on CT data. Methods CT data of jaw bone defect from patients were acquired and the images were segmented using threshold segmentation combined with region growing . The three dimensional model was reconstructed by Boolean operation. The individual 3D digital model was reconstructed with internal structure by combining with computer; preparing poly-lactic acid scaffold in virtue of 3D technology. Results Using the Mimics software, we successfully constructed a 3D digital reconstruction model of bone defect based on CT data. The constructed scaffold model with certain internal form and structure was matched with the bone defect of patients, and the constructed model was exported onto STL standard format, which may be in common use. Conclusion The 3D digital model of bone defect scaffolds may effectively be reconstructed based on the CT data using Mimics software and computer aided design.

With the global trend of aging populations,the prevalence of blindness is expected to increase.However,due to deficiencies and imbalances,medical resources are far from satisfactory for ophthalmic disease diagnosis and management,particularly in primary medical facilities of developing countries.Eyeball is a visualized organ with its superficial position and transparent refractory media.Therefore,many ophthalmic diseases can be screened and diagnosed from images and photographs,such as cataract,cornea diseases and retinopathy,etc.As the development of data mining technology and accumulation of large amount of ophthalmic clinical data,the conditions are ripe for establishment of artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic platform.Currently,attention should be focused on integrating the abundant ocular imaging resources,practically applying the data mining technology and gradually developing the universal AI platform for the management of ophthalmic disease.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a patient with Alport syndrome (AS) and confirm the existence of a splicing variant. METHODS: An AS patient diagnosed at the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University on January 8, 2021 for significant proteinuria and occult hematuria was selected as the study subject. Clinical data was collected. Peripheral blood samples were collected for the extraction of genomic DNA. Whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were carried out to identify potential genetic variants. An in vitro experiment was also conducted to verify the abnormal mRNA splicing. Bioinformatic software was used to analyze the conservation of amino acids of the variant sites and simulate the 3D structure of the variant collagen IV protein. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry were carried out on renal tissues from the patient to confirm the presence of AS kidney injury. RESULTS: The patient, a 21-year-old male, had a 24-hour urine protein of 3.53 g/24 h, which fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for proteinuria. His blood uric acid has also increased to 491 μmol/L. DNA sequencing revealed that he has harbored a c.835-9T>A splice variant of the COL4A5 gene, which was not found in either of his parents. In vitro experiment confirmed that the variant has removed 57 bp from the exon 15 of the mRNA of the COL4A5 gene. The deletion may cause loss of amino acid residues from positions 279 to 297, which in turn may affect the stability of the secondary structure of the α5 chain encoded by the COL4A5 gene. The amino acids are conserved across various species. The result of homology modeling indicated that the trimerization of Col-IV with the mutated α5 chain could be achieved, however, the 3D structure was severely distorted. The AS kidney damage was confirmed through immunofluorescence assays. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the c.835-9T>A variant was classified as likely pathogenic (PVS1_Moderate+PS3_Moderate+PM2_Supporting+PS2+PP3+PP4). CONCLUSION The c.835-9T>A variant of the COL4A5 gene probably underlay the AS in this patient. In vitro experiment has confirmed the abnormal splicing caused by the variant. Histopathological examination of the kidney tissue has provided in vivo evidence for its pathogenicity. Above finding has expanded the mutational spectrum of the COL4A5 gene.

With the development of our economy and the progress of science and technology,the comfort medicine of children in the perioperative period is gradually promoted.Comfort medicine not only eliminates the physical pain of children,but also avoids the permanent psychological trauma caused by oper-ation and anesthesia.The incidence of preoperative anxiety in children is higher than that in adults,which may have adverse effects on perioperative period and prognosis of children.The characteristics of parents of different children,such as parental anxiety level,parental education level,parental socioeconomic back-ground,family composition,ethnicity,language,and other factors will affect the preoperative anxiety level of children.Intervention measures such as parents'participation in guiding children's preparation for anesthe-sia,management of children's fasting and drinking,and presence at the induction of anesthesia can alleviate children's preoperative anxiety level.For children with disabilities,communication between parents and medical staff in the perioperative period and intervention management of children is important.Compared with the traditional preoperative preparation program,the internet-based family preoperative preparation plat-form provides a comprehensive,effective and personalized information guidance for the families of children,ensuring the comfortable perioperative medical treatment of children.

Objective To determine the risk factors for moderate and severe postoperative pain in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Methods Eighty-one patients of both sexes,aged 18-70 yr,with body mass index of 19-42 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,undergoing elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy under general anesthesia,were selected.When moderate and severe postoperative pain developed (visual analog scale score ≥ 4),dezocine 5 mg was intravenously injected with the dosing interval greater than 4 h.According to the occurrence of moderate and severe pain within 24 h after operation,the patients were divided into moderate and severe pain group and non-moderate and severe pain group.The age,sex,American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status,body mass index,preoperative abnormality of creatinine,urinary leukocyte,urinary bacteria,surgical site,severity of hydronephrosis,the number of affected renal calyx,CT value of stones,length of puncture channel,operation time,the number of postoperative drainage tube and residual stones were collected.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to stratify the risk factors for moderate and severe postoperative pain.Results A total of 79 patients were included in this study.Among the 79 patients,47 patients developed moderate or severe pain,and the incidence was 59％.The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the number of preoperative affected renal calyx＞3,CT value of stones ＞ 1 000 and postoperative residual stones were independent risk factors for moderate and severe pain after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (P＜0.05).Conclusion The number of preoperative affected renal calyx＞3,CT value of stones ＞ 1 000 and postoperative residual stones are independent risk factors for moderate and severe postoperative pain in the patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Objective:To explore the morphology and vessel distribution of the scapholunate interosseous ligament and anatomical basis for the clinical reconstruction of scapholunate interosseous ligament.Methods:From October, 2018 to December, 2018, 12 fresh wrist joint specimens were perfused with gelatin-lead oxide solution from ulnar or radial artery and scanned under micro-CT. The morphology of scapholunate interosseous ligament in neutral position and the distribution of nutrient vessels in the ligament were observed on reconstructed 3D images by Mimics. The width, length and thickness of palmar, dorsal and proximal ligaments were measured. The anatomical parameters at the entrance of nutrient vessels in the scapholunate interosseous ligament were taken and their relationship with the blood supply to the scapholunate was analyzed.Results:①For scapholunate interosseous ligament, it was found that the average length of the proximal sub-region was the longest, the length of palmar and dorsal sides was similar to each other and the widest and thinnest was in palmar side, while the thickness and width of dorsal and proximal were similar. ②There was no nutrient vessel in the proximal part of the scapholunate interosseous ligament. But there were abundant nutrient vessels in the palmar and dorsal scapholunate interosseous ligament, and there was no significant difference in blood supply to palmar and dorsal scapholunate interosseous ligament ( P>0.05). ③The palmar and dorsal medial nutrient vessels that supply to the scapholunate interosseous ligament enter the scapholunate from the attachment of ligament of scapholunate interosseous joint. Conclusion:The palmar side of the scapholunate interosseous ligament is wider and thinner than that of the other subareas, which makes it more vulnerable to injury from an anatomical point of view. There is abundant blood supply to the palmar and dorsal subareas of the scapholunate interosseous ligament and the supplying vessels anastomose inside the scapholunate bone. There is no distribution of blood vessel at the proximal part of scapholunate interosseous ligament, hence is difficult to heal. An injury of palmar and dorsal ligaments may affect the blood supply of scapholunate.
