Background Retinal vascular caliber changes can reflect the development status of cardiovascular disease and diabetes-associated vascular diseases,so it is very important to quantitatively measure retinal vascular caliber in the study of systemic diseases and retinal vascular disease.However,the methodology study is rately seen in China within our knowledge.Objective The present study was to investigate the repeatability and reproducibility of IVAN software in measuring retinal vascular caliber.Methods This study was approved by Ethic Committee of Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University,and written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to medical examination.A prospectively diagnostic trail was performed.The digitized fundus color photograph centered on the disc from 192 eyes of 96 healthy volunteers were collected in Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from January,2013 to December,2014,and central retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE),central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE) and arteriovenous ratio (AVR) were analyzed by IVAN measurement software.The repeatability and reproducibility of IVAN software for random repeat measurement of retinal vessel caliber from consecutive 85 right eyes of 85 volunteers were evaluation by interobserver and intraobserver measurement with interclass correlation coefficient (ICC).The correlations of measuring results between two observers or two-time measuring were analyzed with Pearson linear correlation analysis.Bland-Altman agreeement analysis was employed to assess the agreeement of the outcomes.Results No significant differences were found in CRAE,CRVE and AVR between the right eyes and the left eyes (t=-1.009,1.090,-1.259,all at P＞0.05).The CRAE,CRVE and AVR values from observer 1 were (145.02±12.94) μm,(400.72±9.12) μm and 0.36±0.03,and those from observer 2 were (145.10 ± 11.86) μm,(401.17 ± 9.85) μm and 0.36 ± 0..03,with no significant differences between observer 1 and observer 2 (t =-0.074,-0.913,0.116,all at P＞0.05).The repeat CRAE,CRVE and AVR values from observer 1 were (145.02 ± 12.94) μm,(400.72 ±9.12) μm and 0.36 ±0.03,which were significantly different from the initial values (t =-0.777,-0.048,-0.745,all at P＞0.05).In two-time measurements of intraobserver,all ICC were ≥0.738 and showed good correlations (all at r≥0.739).The two measurements of interobserver,showed good correlations (r≥ 0.662),with all ICC ≥ 0.657.Bland-Altman plots showed good agreements in CRAE and CRVE measurement with 95％ limits of agreement(LoA) ranged from-18.5 μm to 17.3 μm and-9.8 μm to 9.6 μm in intraobserver,and from-19.3 μm to 20.0 μm and-10.2 μm to 9.0 μm in interobserver,respectively.Conclusions IVAN measurement software yields good repeatability and reproducibility in the quantitative measurement of retinal vascular caliber.

Objective To investigate a simple effective way to salvage failure of lateral retinacular release. Methods From March 2007 to May 2009,there were 23 knees of 23 cases for failure after lateral retinacular. All the patients had patellofemoral joint malatignment in some extend,whose patellofemoral joint CT scanned in dynamic. Before curing,the index of patellar tilting angle (PTA) was 19.6° ±5.7° , congruence angle(CA) was 23.6° ± 12.5° , patellar femoral index(PFI)was 2.7 ± 0.8, and hospital special score (HSS) knee score was (74.0 ± 9.2) points,then put on elastic knee sleeves for arranging the malalignment of patellofemoral joints, coincidentally, rehabilitation of vastus medians administered. Results All the patients were followed up for 6 - 26 (11.0 ± 2.3 ) months, 22 cases of 24 knees gained the excellent or good results,1 case had to experience surgery again. After curing, PTA was 11.2° ±3.7°,CA was 6.4° ±7.8°, and PFI was 1.1 ±0.3,escalated HSS knee score was (87.0 ±6.5) points, in these excellent or good patellofemoral joints. Significant difference showed apparently in the cohort through curing (P <0.05). Conclusion Administering elastic knee sleeves along with correct rehabilitation is a simple effective no-incisive cure for salvaging failure of lateral retinacular release.

Silk fibroin (SF) and hydroxyapatite (HA) composite powders were synthesized from CaO, H3PO4 and SF solution on the principle of neutralization. SF/HA porous materials were prepared through adding silk short fibers and NaCI particles as reinforcing material and pore-forming agent respectively by isostatic compaction. The structure and mechanical properties of the SF/HA porous materials were investigated. Results indicated that short silk fibers in it could markedly enhance flexural strength and flexural breaking energy. The average pore diameter and porosity could be regulated from 64 μm to183 pm and from 55% to 75% respectively by adding pore-forming agent.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture-moxibustion in the treatment of cerebral palsy-related speech impairment.Methods:A systematic literature search of 7 electronic databases was conducted between January 7,2000 and January 12,2021 to find randomized controlled trials(RCTs)examining the benefits of acupuncture-moxibustion combined with rehabilitation training to cerebral palsy-induced speech impairment.The included trials'quality was assessed using the Cochrane Reviewers'Handbook as a guide,and statistical analysis was carried out using the RevMan 5.3 software.Results:A total of 17 RCTs with 1238 subjects were finally recruited and analyzed.When acupuncture-moxibustion was combined with rehabilitation training,the results showed a considerable improvement in speech impairment compared with the rehabilitation training alone.The most commonly used points for the treatment of speech disorders are Baihui(GV20),Speech Area,Zhisanzhen[Shenting(GV24)and bilateral Benshen(GB13)],Niesanzhen[2 Cun above the ear tip as the first point,with 1.0 Cun anterior and posterior to the current point as the second and third points],and Sishenzhen[1.5 Cun anterior,posterior,and bilateral to Baihui(GV20)].Conclusion:Acupuncture-moxibustion has a stronger effect on children's development of receptive and expressive language,as well as the developmental quotient.Acupuncture-moxibustion in combination with rehabilitation training is not only more successful than the control treatment,but also safer and more dependable.Baihui(GV20),Speech Area,Zhisanzhen,Niesanzhen,and Sishenzhen are the most widely used points for speech impediment.

Objective To investigate the value of external fixator in the treatment of posttraumatic elbow stiffness.Methods From January 2007 to December 2009,25 patients with posttraumatic elbow stiffness received surgical arthrolysis with assistance of external fixator.There were 10 patients with grade 1 stiffness,12 patients with grade 2 stiffness and three patients with grade 3 stiffness.The range of motion (ROM) was 0°-75° ( average 33.4°) preoperative,with ＜ 30° in 12 patients.For the patients with grade 1 stiffness,intraoperative distraction with an external fixator rather than open arthrolysis was performed ; for the patients with grade 2 stiffness,the heterotopic ossification was removed through a limited approach before the external fixator was applied; for the patients with grade 3 stiffness,additional osteotomy and internal fixation before arthrolysis were performed.After operation,there was a rehabilitation phase,followed by mobilization of the elbow joint under protection of the external fixator for a mean period of six weeks.Results The intraoperative mean ROM was 105.6°,which was significantly improved than that before operation (P ＜0.05).The maximal flexion degree was above 110°in all patients.No instability occurred.Two patients were excluded from the follow-up:one had ulna fracture two weeks after operation due to an incorrect placement of the pin,and additional internal fixation was then carried out;another patient had numbness in the ulna side when flexed the elbow after arthrolysis,and the ulna nerve transposition was performed through another operation.Other patients were followed up for a mean period of six months.At the latest follow-up,the mean ROM was 97.4°( range,70°-130°),significantly improved than that before operation (P ＜ 0.05 ),and lest 8.2°on average (0°-15 °) compared with the intraoperative ROM (P ＞ O.05).The maximal flexion in all patients was above 100° Conclusion With the advantages of minimal invasive or noninvasive,indirect capsular traction,stability maintenance during the movement,and prevention of the motion loss during the rehabilitation,arthrolysis of the elbow joint with the use of external fixation frame can be a good alternative in the treatment of posttraumatic elbow stiffness.

Objective To evaluate the frequency and morphological characteristics of the posterolateral articular fracture in tibial plateau fractures.Methods A retrospective analysis of CT images and clinical data was taken among 309 cases of tibial plateau fractures from 2008 May to 2013 January.There are total 264 patients were recorded excluding 45 cases with which the CT image is missing or not compatible with the medical Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS).To determine the occurrence rate of the posterolateral articular fracture in tibial plateau fractures and measure morphological parameters such as the axial angle of fracture line,articular surface area,sagittal fracture angle,fracture height,and amount of displacement.Results 39 cases of posterolateral articular fragments were found in 264 cases of tibial plateau fractures with the 14.8％ incidence (39/264).There were 18 males and 21 females,aged from 31-70 years (mean,52 years).17 left cases and 22 right cases.The mechanism of injury were traffic accident in 22 patients,blow by a heavy object in 2 patients,a fall in 11 patients,and other causes (unknown) in 4 patients.The posterolateral plateau articular fracture fragment has morphological characteristics of a conical shape fragment and the major articular fragment angle was 22° (range,-43°-62°),and an average accounted for 14.1％ of the articular surface of the total tibial plateau (range,8％-32％).The posterolateral fragment exhibits a vertical fracture pattern and an average sagittal fracture angle was 76° (range,58°-97°),suggestive of shear instability and vertical displacement.Maximum posterior cortical height was 28 mm (range,18-42 mm),and average size of the displacement was 10.48 mm (range,2-19 mm).Conclusion The posterolateral plateau articular fracture fragment has morphological characteristics of a conical shape fragment,relative small articular surface area and sagittal fracture angle.
