Purpose To clarify the morphological parameter and describe the distance from the insertion of the lateral ankle ligaments to the adjacent bony landmarks through precisely anatomical explore of human cadaveric ankles,so as to provide anatomical evidences for the reconstruction of lateral ankle ligaments.Methods Nineteen ankle specimens were dissected to isolate the lateral ankle ligaments and measure the morphological parameters such as length,width,thickness and the distance from the insertion of the lateral ankle ligaments to the adjacent bony landmarks.Results The average length of anterior talofibular ligaments (ATFL) was 23.1 ± 2.98 mm,among which 8 were single-banded(42.1%)and 11 were double-banded(57.9%).The average distance from the fibular origination of ATFL to the anterior tubercle of fibula(AA)was 17.1 ± 3.00 mm,to the fibular obscure tubercle(AO)was 5.1 ± 1.69 mm,to the tip of the fibula(AT)was 14.1 ± 2.86 mm.The distances from the talus insertion of ATFL to the superior and inferior talus articular surface were 11.4 ± 2.25 mm and 18.4 ± 2.30 mm respectively,to the anterior lateral talus chondral surface was 4.8 ± 1.42 mm.The average length of calcaneofibular ligament(CFL)was 31.4 ± 3.55 mm.The average distance of the fibular origination from ATFL to CFL was 6.4 ± 2.55 mm.The average angle between ATFL and CFL was 116.6 ± 12.69°.The distance from the calcaneus insertion of CFL to the peroneal tubercle(CP)was 15.4 ± 2.86 mm,to the posterior superior border of calcaneus(CC)was 13.9 ± 2.46 mm,to the subtalar joint surface was 15.2 ± 3.21 mm.The coefficient variation assessing the anatomical reliability of different bony landmarks were as follows:ATFL fibular origination AA(17.54%) <AT(20.28%) < AO(33.14%),CFL calcaneus insertion CC(17.70%)<CP(18.57%)<CS(21.1%).Conclusion Certain variations exist in the morphological parameters and the distances from the insertion of the lateral ankle ligaments to the adjacent bony landmarks.It provides anatomical evidence for lateral ankle ligament reconstruction in treating chronic ankle instability.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the value of estimating chronologic age based on the grades of mandibular third molar development. To evaluate whether mandibular third molar could be used as an indicator for estimating the age under or over 18 years.
METHODS:
The mineralization status of mandibular third molar of 1 845 individuals aged 10 - 30 was graded and marked based on Demirjian's classification of grades reformed by Orhan. Gender difference was examined by t-test. A cubic regression model was established to analyze the correlation between third molar and chronologic age. Each grade of age cumulative distribution diagram and ROC curve was respectively performed to evaluate the relationship between third molar and the age of 18. Using Bayes discriminant analysis, an equation was established for estimating the age of 18.
RESULTS:
The inner-rater reliability was 0.903. Statistical analysis showed a moderate correlation between age and grade. Significant differences of both genders were found only in grade D and H (P < 0.05). Males at the grades from 1 to D and females at the grades from 1 to C were under 18 years old, and both males and females at grade H were over 18 years old. The area under the ROC curve was 0.797 (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Third molar development shows a high correlation with age, and combined with other indicators, it can be used to estimate the age of 18.

Objective To investigate the insula and its related network of schizophrenia patients and its correlation to behavior performance with functional magnetic resonance imaging.Methods Fourteen patients with paranoid schizophrenia and sixteen normal subjects received blood oxygenation level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging(BOLD-fMRI) examinations based on resting state and digital 2-back working memory task.The fMRI data were processed and analyzed with SPM2,AFNI and Matlab software packages (thresholded at P =0.005,uncorrected).Medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC,BA10) was placed as region of interest (ROI).Results The functional connectivity positively or negatively correlated with MPFC was lower for patient group than that for control group in resting and task states.In resting state,the brain areas negatively correlated with MPFC mainly included the bilateral superior temporal gyrus (BA22),cuneus (BA 18/19),inferior parietal lobule (BA40),right parahippocampus for patient group and the bilateral insula/superior temporal gyrus(BA22),inferior parietal lobule(BA40),paracentral lobule,parahippocampus for control group.The brain areas positively correlated with MPFC mainly included the pineal gland areas for patient group and the left anterior nucleus thalamus,bilateral medial superior frontal gyrus (BA6),right inferior corpus callosum (BA34) and the cerebellar vermis for control group in resting state.In 2-back task,the brain areas negatively correlated with MPFC mainly included the right cerebellar hemisphere,left superior parietal lobule/precuneus (BA7),left superior frontal gyrus (BA6) for patient group and the left medial dorsal thalamus,bilateral lateral premotor area (BA6),left inferior parietal lobule/precuneus (BA7),right cerebellar hemisphere for control group.The accuracy of reaction was lower in patient group than that in control group((78.30 ± 8.76) % vs (89.89 ± 8.05) %,P =0.01) and the correlation between the accuracy and the left medial dorsal thalamus had statistical significance (r =-0.52,P =0.04).Conclusion The altered functional connectivitv of the bilateral insula and its related network indicates functional disintegration of the limbic system in patients with schizophrenia.Widespreadly reduced functional connectivity and the functional disconnection of left medial dorsal thalamus mav be one of the reasons for poor behavior performance in schizophrenia patients.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of modified endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and rubber band ligation assisted endoscopic dissection for treatment of small gastric submucosal tumors (SMT) originating from the muscularis propria layer. Methods A total of ninety-two patients diagnosed as gastric SMT (6 mm≤diameter≤13 mm) originating from the muscularis propria layer by EUS in our hospital were enrolled in this study. With intravenous anesthesia and tracheal intubation in all patients, modified ESD was performed firstly to stripe the small tumors. After being exposed to a certain extent, the tumors were ligated by rubber band and snared for endoscopic dissection. The situation of bleeding, perforation in both intraoperative and postoperative, the integrity and size of the resected specimens were observed and recorded. The resected specimens were identified with histopathological detection and immunohistochemistry assay. At the 6-month and 12-month after the operation, all patients were reviewed by gastroscopy and EUS in our hospital. Results All the 92 tumors were resected completely and successfully. The mean operating time was (19.2±2.3) min and the mean blood loss in operation was (2.6±0.5) mL. Perforation after resection occurred in 3 cases, which were closed with metal hemostatic clips and nylon ropes. No delayed bleeding and perforation occurred in one week after the operation. The tumor sizes ranged from 6 mm × 5 mm to 13 mm × 12 mm. Seventy-three gastric stromal tumors (risk classification:all were very low risk), 18 gastric leiomyomas and 1 gastric neurofibroma were identified. There were no residue or recurrence in all cases during the 12-month follow-up period. Conclusion The modified ESD and rubber band ligation assisted endoscopic dissection are effective and safe for treatment of small gastric submucosal tumors originating from the muscularis propria layer. The tumors are resected completely and successfully, showing certain significance to assess the nature, degree of malignancy of the tumor and prognosis of the patients.
