Objective To clarify the anatomical and pathlogical implications of Denonvilliers' fascia.Method In this study,thirty pelvic specimens (17 males and 13 females) were incised through the median sagittal plane and carried for regional anatomy study; Denonvilliers' fascia was identified by immunohistochemistry.Results Denonvilliers' fascia could be found in all male specimens:it had an anterior leaf and a posterior leaf,with the anterior one attaching to seminal vesicle,seminiferous duct,prostate and the bottom of bladder firmly.The fascia originated at the fold of the peritoneum and ended at the perineum fascia,fusing into the pelvic parietal fascia laterally.It was not obvious in females,only to find a thin and transparent membrane between vagina and rectum.The maximum height of Denonvilliers' fascia in left pelvis was (3.2 ± 0.3) cm,compared with (3.3 ± 0.3) cm in the right pelvis (t =0.965,P ＞ 0.05).Immunohistochemistry study revealed that there was no lymph node in the fascia and its lateral parts were enriched of nerve fibers,which were few in its middle part.Conclusions The unique anatomical and pathlogical characteristics of Denonvilliers' fascia are of vital importance to the avoidance of nerve injury during rectal surgery.

ObjectiveTo investigate the morphologic features of coronary sinus (CS)-left atrium muscle connections,and evaluate the function and anatomical features of coronary sinus on dual-source CT coronary angiography (DSCTCA).MethodsImages of DSCTCA of 144 patients [ control group consisted of 96 patients,and atrial fibrillation (AF) group consisted of 48 patients] were reviewed.The existence of coronary sinus-right atrium muscle connections was indirectly evaluated by measuring the cross-sectional area changes of the CS during atrial systole and atrial diastolic.The number,location,length of the CS-left atrium muscle connections andthe relationship between CS-left atrium muscle connections and CS morphological characteristics were studied.The t test for continuous variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables were used in statistical analysis.Results( 1 )The anatomic course of the CS in relation to the mitral ring was straight,mild curvature and high riding of 62,16 and 18 cases in control group and 10,8 and 30 cases in AF group,respectively.There was not statistical significance between the 2 group (x2 =0.093,P=0.954). (2)The CS length was (34.1 ±9.1),(33.8 ±8.9)mm in Control group and AF group,respectively.There was no statistical significance between the 2 group ( t =- 0.486,P =0.628 ).(3) Coronary sinus-left atrium muscle connections were seen in 131 of the 144 patients (91.0％).A single connection was seen in 103 of the 144 patients,with a mean length of (22.6 ± 12.7)mm within (6.3 ± 5.8 ) mm of the coronary sinus ostium.28 patients had two connections; distal connections measured ( 13.2 ± 6.2)mm in length within (16.7 ± 6.8 ) mm of the coronary sinus ostium,and proximal connections measured ( 11.1 ± 3.6 ) mm in length within (2.1 ± 1.9) mm of the coronary sinus ostium.And there was no statistical difference the number and length of CS-left atrium connections in between Control group and AF group (P ＞ 0.05 ).(4)The CS narrowed 22.4％ (44.5/198.8 )in cross-sectional area from atrial diastolic to atrial systole in control group( t =- 21.076,P ＜ 0.01 ),while the CS had no obvious contraction in AF group(t =0.374,P ＞ 0.05).The cross-sectional area of the coronary sinus during diastole was obviously larger in the AF group than in the control group[( 230.4 ±77.0) mm2 vs (198.8 ±65.4) mm2,respectively,t =- 2.579,P =0.01 ].In control group ( n =9 ),the coronary sinus-left atrium connection was not seen,however,all showed a CS constriction during atrial systole,indicating that coronary sinus-left atrium muscle continuity is not likely the primary cause for coronary sinus contractions. Conclusions DSCTCA can clearly show the anatomical characteristics of CS,it can help to understand the length,number and location of the CS-left atrium muscle connection.

Objective To evaluate abdominal CT scan in predicting complications and mortality of acute pancreatitis patients. Methods CT imaging data of 606 AP patients from June 2010 to October 2011 were analyzed retrospectively. Fatty liver, pleural effusion, suprahepatic space effusion, biliary tract disease,gastric bare area involvement (GBAI),adrenal gland involvement (AGI) and perirenal space involvement (PSI) were evaluated,and the relationship between CT findings and complications and mortality was analyzed. Results (1) The Logistic regression analysis showed six risk factors for complications of AP,including obesity,fatty liver,PSI,AGI,GBAI and suprahepatic space effusion.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of Logistic regression model for predicting complications were 81.3％,89.1％ and 85.3 ％,respectively. (2) The Logistic regression analysis showed four risk factors for mortality of AP,including obesity,AGI,GBA and suprahepatic space effusion.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of Logistic regression model for predicting mortality were 33.3％, 98.6％, 96.0％, respectively.Conclusions Abdominal CT scan effectively indicates the signs of tissue and organ involvement in AP.These CT findings relate with the prognosis of AP.

Objective To investigate the morphologic features of Bachmann bundle (BB) and its vascular supply on dual-source CT coronary angiography(DSCTCA) in healthy volunteers and patients with coronary artery lesion (CAL). Methods Clinical histories, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and images of DSCTCA of 106 patients ( CAL group) and 100 healthy volunteers ( Control group) were reviewed. All 106 patients underwent conventional coronary angiography ( CCA ). The Gensini scoring system was used to assess the results of CCA. The patients were divided into three groups according to their Gensini scores. The length, width and superoinferior diameter, CT value, and vascular supply of BB were studied. Rank sum test for continuous variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables were used in statistical analysis.Results ( 1 ) BB visualization rate of control group was higher than CAL group [86.0% (86/100) vs 51.9%(55/106), x2 = 27.726, P ＜ 0.01]. The higher the Gensini score of CAL subgroup, the lower the visualization rate of its BB [80.0% ( 28/35 ), 55.6% ( 20/36 ), 20.0% ( 7/35 ), x2 = 25.530, P ＜ 0.01].(2)The median of measurements of length,width and superoinferior diameter of control and CAL group were 13.0 vs 13.8,5.0 vs 5.2 and 5.9 vs 6.2 mm, respectively ( P ＞ 0.05 ). (3) The CT value of the BB region in control group( median :42.6 HU ) was higher than that of CAL group( median: 13.0 HU) ( Z = - 7.061, P ＜0.01). The CT values of BB regions in patients with nonvisualized BB (median: -16.0 HU) were lower. The CT values of the BB regions in CAL group were negatively-correlated with Gensini scores( median:19.0) (r = -0.553, P ＜0.01 ). (4)The blood supply of BB and BB region was provided by right sinuatrial node artery ( SNA, 58.7%, 121/206 ), left SNA ( 35.9%, 74/206 ) or both SNAs ( 5.3%, 11/206 ).Conclusions DSCTCA could can show the anatomical characteristics of BB and its arterial supply. The serious the degree of CAL , the lower the BB display rate, and the higher the abnormal ECG incidence,which indicate that the occurrence of BB lesions is probably related to ischemia.

Objective: To analyze the clinical pathologic characteristics of cases with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) positive of exfoliated urothelial cells, so as to evaluate the clinical utility of FISH in the diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma (UC).Methods: A total of 271 cases of FISH positive in Department of Urology of Peking University First Hospital from Apr.2012 to Sep.2015 were recruited in this study.Retrospective analysis was made on their clinical data.For FISH analysis, labeled probes specific for chromosomes 3, 7, 17, and the p16 (9p21) gene were used to assess chromosomal abnormalities indicative of malignancy.The positive predict values (PPV) of all the techniques were analyzed.Results: Of the 271 patients, 207 cases were UC, 7 cases were non-UC, and 57 cases were benign diseases.The PPV of FISH in detecting UC was 76.4%, while the 95% confidence interval (CI) 71.3% to 81.5%.In the cohort of FISH positive, this value was similar to that of urinary cytology (PPV 86.8%, 95% CI: 78.5%-95.0%).The PPV of FISH was lower than that of cystoscopy and ureteroscopy (PPV 96.1%, 95% CI: 91.7%-100.0%).There were significant differences between this study and the PPV of FISH reported abroad (PPV 53.9%, χ2=33.048, P<0.001).Of all the UC with FISH positive, bladder cancer showed an earlier pathological stage versus renal pelvic carcinoma and ureteral carcinoma, with significance (χ2=5.894, P=0.015, and χ2=13.601, P<0.001, respectively).However, no difference was found in the size, pathological stage and pathological grade of tumors between the urinary cytology positive group and the urinary cytology negative group.The rate of high-grade UC in ureteral carcinoma of FISH positive was 92.3%, much higher than that of ureteral carcinoma reported domestically.Conclusion: The PPV of FISH in detecting UC is higher relatively, with a better clinic value for Chinese patients.The ureteral carcinoma with FISH positive obtains a higher pathological grade, which is of great guiding significance for UC.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of retrograde distal tibial intramedullary nail fixation in the treatment of proximal ankle fracture of the distal tibia.Methods:A three-dimensional CT examination of 40 adult tibias was performed to measure anatomical indicators such as the posterior medial posterior torsion angle of the distal tibia, the height of torsion, and the height of the safety zone for nail placement. Based on the anatomy database of the human skeleton model, a retrograde distal tibial nail and its supporting instruments were developed in accordance with the anatomical characteristics of the distal tibia and the proximal ankle of Chinese people. From June 2019 to June 2023, a total of 25 patients with distal tibial proximal ankle fractures treated with retrograde intramedullary nail internal fixation in the 909th Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. There were 18 males and 7 females, aged 41.3±10.8 years (range, 22-65 years). The sample size was 1∶1 matched according to gender and age. Twenty-five patients with distal tibial proximal ankle fractures who underwent antegrade intramedullary nail fixation during the same period were matched, including 20 males and 5 females, aged 41.2±9.4 years (range 19-60 years). The reduction quality, postoperative Baird-Jackson score, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle and hindfoot score, ankle range of motion and complications were observed.Results:All patients were successfully operated and followed up for 14.4±3.5 months (range, 12-24 months). The intraoperative blood loss and hospitalization time in retrograde intramedullary nail group were 33.12±7.38 ml and 10.32±1.75 d, less than 49.04±10.22 ml and 13.16±2.69 d in antegrade intramedullary nail group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The reduction quality was excellent in 23 cases and good in 2 cases in the retrograde intramedullary nail group, and was excellent in 17 cases and good in 8 cases in the anterograde intramedullary nail group. The proportion of excellent reduction quality in the retrograde intramedullary nail group was higher than that in the anterograde intramedullary nail group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=4.500, P=0.034). The Baird-Jackson score and AOFAS ankle and hindfoot score in the retrograde intramedullary nail group were 85.6±2.5 and 85.8±3.3 at 3 months after operation, lower than those at 1 year after operation 95.3±3.1 and 95.8±3.6, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The Baird-Jackson score and AOFAS ankle and hindfoot score of the antegrade intramedullary nail group were 85.1±3.3 and 86.1±2.5 at 3 months after operation, lower than 95.2±2.7 and 94.9±3.5 at 1 year after operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Baird-Jackson score and AOFAS ankle and hindfoot score between the two groups at 3 months and 1 year after operation ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, there was no ankle stiffness, neurovascular injury, deep vein thrombosis, infection or breakage of internal fixation in the two groups. Conclusion:The treatment of distal tibial proximal ankle fractures with retrograde intramedullary nail fixation has satisfactory reduction quality, good postoperative function recovery, and is helpful for early postoperative rehabilitation.

Objective:Comparison of four methods in intraoperative abduction angles (AA) measurements of human cast immobilization in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) by visual inspection and electronic software according to different body surface markers.Methods:Data were retrospectively collected from January 2019 to November 2021 in a total of 27 patients (54 hips) who underwent closed or simple open reduction. There were 6 males and 21 females with an average age of 13.2 months. Five doctors used visual inspection and mobile phone software to measure the AA of the hip joint immediately during the operation, and compared with the postoperative MRI measurement results (AA-MRI). The four methods of intraoperative measurement were: Junior visualization (AA-JV), the intersection angle between the line connecting the center of the popliteal fossa and the contact center of the plaster frame and the line connecting the two ischial tuberosities; the same methods as method one by Senior visualization (AA-SV); the intersection angle between the line connecting the center of the popliteal fossa and the center of the anus and the line connecting the ischial tubercle (anus-popliteal, AA-AP); the intersection of the vertical line between the center of the popliteal fossa and the groin and the horizontal line of the center of the anus and the vertical line connecting the two ischial tuberosities intersect (anus-groin crease-popliteal, AA-AGCP). The t-test, correlation coefficient, linear regression and Bland-Altman test were used to evaluate the measurements. Results:Comparing the four intraoperative and postoperative AA-MRI measurement methods, AA-JV (42.69°±4.13°) < AA-SV (44.80°±4.08°) < AA-AGCP (46.25°±5.15°) < AA-MRI (47.68°±4.21°) < AA-AP (51.77°±5.30°), and the difference between AA-JV and AA-SV, AA-AP and AA-AGCP was statistically significant ( t=2.53, P=0.013; t=5.47, P=0.001), there was no significant difference between AA-AGCP and AA-MRI ( t=1.57, P=0.118). The inter-group agreement of the five methods ICC test ranged from 0.807 to 0.892, and the intra-group average agreement of AA-MRI was 0.948. All ICC results were greater than 0.75 with good agreement. Linear regression results showed that the four intraoperative measurement methods had a good or moderate linear relationship with AA-MRI, AA-AGCP ( R 2=0.499)>AA-AP ( R 2=0.318)>AA-SV ( R 2=0.253)>AA-JV ( R 2=0.217), AA-AGCP was the best measurement method. The results of Bland-Altman scatterplot of AA-AGCP and AA-MRI were in good agreement, the mean and standard deviation of bias were -0.796±3.247, and the limit of agreement was 95% LoA (-7.16, -5.57). Conclusion:The AA method of visualization before Spica casting was smaller than truth. The method AA-AGCP objectively by landmarks was the advocated means measuring abduction angle during operation with highly consistency, agreement and easily performed.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of cement displacement after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:A case-control analysis was made on clinical data of 1 538 patients with OVCF admitted to Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi′an Jiaotong University from January 2016 to June 2021. There were 377 males and 1 161 females, aged from 45-115 years [(71.7±10.8)years]. Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or percutaneous vertebroplasty (PKP) was performed. Patients were divided into cement displacement group ( n=78) and cement non-displacement group ( n=1 460) according to the radiographic outcomes. Factors related to cement displacement were analyzed by univariate analysis, including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), preoperative bone mineral density, underlying diseases, involved vertebral segments, surgical methods, surgical approaches, cement leakage (anterior edge), viscosity of cement, dispersion ratio of cement, degree of cement interweaving, sagittal position of cement, targeted location of cement, distance from cement to upper and lower endplates and duration of brace wearing. Independent risk factors for bone cement displacement were identified by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results:Univariate analysis showed that bone cement displacement was significantly correlated with BMI, preoperative bone mineral density, involved vertebral segments, operation methods, cement leakage (anterior edge), viscosity of cement, dispersion ratio of cement, degree of cement interweaving, sagittal position of cement, targeted location of cement, distance from cement to upper and lower endplates and duration of brace wearing (all P<0.05), but there was no correlation with gender, age, underlying diseases or surgicales approach (all P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that the preoperative bone mineral density ( OR=2.45, 95% CI 1.81-7.50, P<0.01), operation methods ( OR=4.56, 95% CI 1.86-8.44, P<0.01), cement leakage (anterior edge) ( OR=5.77, 95% CI 2.85-9.20, P<0.01), viscosity of cement ( OR=7.36, 95% CI 1.01-1.77, P<0.01), dispersion ratio of cement ( OR=6.84, 95% CI 1.69-13.39, P<0.01), degree of cement interweaving ( OR=8.97, 95% CI 2.29- 14.97, P<0.01), sagittal position of cement ( OR=6.39, 95% CI 1.06-9.47, P<0.01), targeted location of cement ( OR=7.93, 95% CI 1.64-11.84, P<0.01), distance from cement to upper and lower endplates ( OR=6.78, 95% CI 1.84-6.96, P<0.01) and duration of brace wearing ( OR=9.55, 95% CI 2.26- 9.38, P<0.01) were significantly correlated with bone cement displacement after percutaneous vertebral augmentation. Conclusion:Low bone mineral density preoperatively, PKP, cement leakage into the vertebral anterior edge, low viscosity of cement, small dispersion ratio of cement, small degree of cement interweaving, cement filling in the anterior 1/3 and anterior middle 2/3 of the vertebral body in sagittal plane, non-targeted injection of cement, long distance from cement to upper and lower endplates and short duration of brace wearing are independent risk factors of cement displacement after percutaneous vertebral augmentation for OVCF.

Objective:To explore the effect of introducing mixed reality technology into traditional atlas teaching to teach airway anatomy under bronchoscopy.Methods:A total of 30 Batch 2017 fifth-year clinical medicine students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were randomly divided into control group and test group by RAND function in Excel, with 15 students in each group. The control group was taught with the traditional bronchoscopic atlas teaching, and the test group was combined with mixed reality technology. The two groups had the same class time. After teaching, the teaching effect was evaluated by examination and evaluation questionnaire. SPSS 25.0 software was conducted for t test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The average score after teaching of test group was (61.67±20.15), and that of control group was (36.67±13.32), with statistically significant differences ( t=4.01, P<0.001). According to the questionnaire results, the scores of the test group on course understanding, course concentration, participation, mastery and satisfaction were better than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Using mixed reality technology to assist the clinical teaching of airway anatomy under bronchoscopy can improve the quality of students' study and enhance their understanding of the teaching content and students' participation passion, achieving better teaching effect.
