Objective To discuss magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)scanning technology for ankle joint and its clinical value.Methods 42 cases of ankle joint trauma were examined with MRI using GPFLX coil.It was performed through sagittal T2WI,T2WI F/S,T1WI;coronal T2WI;axial T2WI.FOV was big enough for the whole trauma ankle joint.To make image clear,some soft materials should be placed between the trauma ankle joint and the GPFLX coil.The injured ankle joint was not allowed to move.The technology of No Phase Wrap is also necessary.Results The high quality rate was up to 90% for the ankle joint.Among 42 cases,6 had traumatic arthritis,14 had ankle joint contusion,9 had Achilles tendon rupture,6 had other structural injuries,4 had late degenerative change,and 3 had normal images.Conclusion MRI is a sensitive technique for injured ankle joint.It can accurately show the degree and location of ankle joint trauma.It has an important clinical significance in finding bone contusion and other structural injuries,and it is very helpful for treatment.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of interventional treatment for primary liver cancer with spontaneous rupture. Methods Three cases of spontaneous rupture of primary liver cancer were undertaken hepatic arterial chemoembolization with prior chemo-infusion and followed by gelfoam partical and stripes for embolization Results 3 cases of massive type of primary liver carcinoma with spontaneous rupture were all successfully once embolized, including one with additional super liquefied lipiodal as embolic agent who has been survived for more than 20 months. Conclusions Hepatic arterial chemo-embolization shows prominent hemostasis during emergency for spontaneous rupture of primary hepatic carcinoma providing double effectiveness of hemostasis and treatment.

Objective To explore the application of CARE kV technique in the adult chest CT and the value of reducing radiation dose.Methods Sixty-nine patients were divided into two groups by random number generators:group A(39 cases) and group B(30 cases).Group A was examined by using CARE kV technique and group B was examined at routine 120 kV.CT dose index(CTDIvol),dose length product (DLP) and effective dose (E) were compared between the two groups,and analyzed the correlation between tube voltage selection and patient body mass index (BMI) of group A was analyzed.Results The average CTDIvol [(11.00 ± 3.89) mGy],DLP[(294.05 ± 91.17) mGy·cm] and E[(4.12 ± 1.28) mSv] of group A were lower than those of group B (16.64 ± 1.20) mGy,[(475.99 ± 41.16) mGy · cm],[(6.66 ±0.58) mSv].With statistically significant difference (t =-7.653,-10.151,-10.150,P ＜ 0.05).Compared with routine 120 kV technique (group B),the CARE kV technique (group A) could reduce the total radiation dose about 38.14％.Compared obese patients(BMI≥28 kg/m2) with non-obese patients in group A and B,the mean E of non-obese patients was lower than that of obese patients in group A,which reduced the total E about 31.74％ (t =4.322,P ＜0.05),while E in group B was no significant different between non-obese patients and obese patients.Conclusions In adult chest CT,CARE kV technique can select optimum scanning voltage automatically according to the patients with different BMI and anatomical regions,which can reduce the overall radiation dose while maintaining image quality.

Objective To discuss the reasons of false judgments of localization of the rupture aneurysms and find the way to fix this problem in patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms. Methods The clinical data of 25 consecutive patients, who presented with their first spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage and had multiple intracranial aneurysms from 2003 to 2009 in our hospital, were analyzed retrospectively. The rupture aneurysms were determined according to Nehls' method that reported before, and the supposed responsible rupture aneurysms w0ere clipped within 48 hours after hemorrhage in all patients. More aneurysms that could not be accessed in the same surgical session were surgically terated later. Results The location of the rupture aneurysm was verified at the time of surgery in all 25 patients. The concordance rate of the prediction and the reality of the rupture aneurysm was 80% (20/25). Four patients ( 16% ) ,in whom the ruptured aneurysm was not correctly identified,rebled after surgery,and 2 patients died as a result of the rebleeding One patients had no clear diagnosis at the end. Conclusion In the reported cases, about 80% rupture aneurysms could be correctly diagnosed before treatment according to the CT and DSA examinations. If clear diagnosis couldn't be made,additional examinations should be considered, such as CTA or MRI. Rupture aneurysms must be confirmed during the operation and the other aneurysms should be checked to exclude additional responsible aneurysms in all cases.

Objective To evaluate the effect of computer-aided design of composite materials with epoxide acrylate maleic (E) and hydroxyapatite (H) in cranioplasty. Methods A total of 45 patients with cranium defects were treated with cranioplasty by using skull bone flaps made of composite materials including epoxide acrylate maleic (E) and hydroxyapatite (H) ,which was designed with computer aid according to individual requirements. The patients were followed up for 6-36 months. Results After cranioplasty with composite EH, there occurred subcutaneous fluid in one patient and mild bone collapse in one. The composite EH showed good histocompatibility, with no infection or rejection. Conclusion During cranioplasty, use of computer-aided design of composite EH takes advantages of good accuracy, short operation time, good biocompatibility and good clinical efficiency.

Objective:To investigate the diagnosis, treatment, clinical characteristics and potential high-risk factors of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) during the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with pegaspargase.Methods:The medical history, diagnosis and treatment process, laboratory examination and imaging examination results of 3 ALL patients with CVST during pegaspargase treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University in March and November 2021 and September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results:Three patients were all female, with the aged between 15 and 35 years old, including 2 cases of B-ALL and 1 case of T-ALL. All patients developed nervous system symptoms after pegaspargase chemotherapy, and were diagnosed as CVST by imaging examination. During the pegaspargase treatment, 2 patients took norethisterone, and 1 patient underwent induced labor and curettage. The levels of sexual hormones in the 3 patients had non-physiological changes. The main CVST lesions were located in the superior sagittal sinus, transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus. One patient had cerebral hemorrhage at the same time. When thrombus occurred, the fibrinogen (Fib), antithrombin Ⅲ (AT Ⅲ) activity, protein C activity and protein S activity of the patients were significantly lower than those before, D-dimer was significantly higher, and lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibody were negative. The thrombosis treatment was mainly anticoagulation, and 1 patient underwent thrombolysis. Two patients had no sequelae of nervous system, and 1 patient had the sequelae of muscle weakness.Conclusions:Patients with ALL should be alert to the occurrence of CVST when they have nervous system symptoms during pegaspargase chemotherapy. The diagnosis of CVST mainly depends on cranial imaging. Anticoagulation is the main thrombosis treatment, thrombolysis and interventional thrombectomy are feasible for some patients, with few neurological sequelae. The use of second-generation progesterone drugs and the non-physiological fluctuation of sex hormones may be the potential risk factors of CVST.

Objective:To explore the application of venetoclax in transplantation of patients with refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:The diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with refractory AML who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) under venetoclax and hypomethylating agents bridging myeloablative preconditioning regimen after induction therapy failure in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University in March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The patient was a 28-year-old female who was diagnosed with refractory AML. The patient was initially given induction chemotherapy with IA (idarubicin+cytarabine) (3+7) regimen, but the disease did not relieve, then the induction chemotherapy with CLAG (cladribine+cytarabine+granulocyte colony stimulating factor) regimen was given, but the disease still did not relieve. After chemotherapy with venetoclax and hypomethylating agents bridging myeloablative preconditioning regimen, salvage haploid allo-HSCT was performed. Re-examination of bone marrow showed remission, and implantation was successful. The patient was followed up for 100 days and had sustained remission, and no transplantation complications occurred.Conclusion:For refractory AML patients who have failed primary induction therapy, the use of venetoclax and hypomethylating agents bridging myeloablative preconditioning regimen can be used as a preferred solution for salvage allo-HSCT.

Objective:To use a self-developed, prefabricated cap for making interocclusal records in implant-supported fixed prosthetic treatment, and to evaluate its effect of clinical application and accuracy of transferring intra-oral intercuspal position.Methods:Series of prefabricated caps for occlusal recording of implant-supported fixed prostheses were designed based on the healing abutments, and fabricated with three-dimensional (3D) printing. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 partially edentulous patients who visited the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology between November 2020 and September 2021, had lost no fewer than 2 contiguous teeth in distal extension (Kennedy Class Ⅰ or Ⅱ), and had received implant placement 3 months ago were enrolled. Self-control study design was used. Two occlusal records of each included case were obtained by the following 2methods:for the test group, appropriate prefabricated caps were used; and for the control group, polyvinyl siloxane occlusal record was directly set on the healing abutments. The working casts were mounted on the mechanical articulator using the 2 groups of occlusal records successively. Accuracy of occlusal relationship of the mounted casts was evaluated. Diagnostics test was performed to obtain the sensitivity and positive predictive value, which were determined in photographs by comparing the intra-oral occlusal contact points with those in the mounted casts, point-by-point. Virtual casts were taken by intraoral and extraoral scans in intercuspal position and imported to Geomagic Studio 2014. Then the root mean square values of occlusal clearance space between the upper and lower occlusal surfaces of remaining posterior teeth, and the deviations of the interocclusal position of the occlusal surfaces of the remaining teeth in the mandibular arches when superimposing the maxillary arches of the intraoral and extraoral scans were calculated. As a self-control design, paired t test was used. Results:Twelve participants were enrolled, including 3 men and 9 women aged (52.6±12.1) years, and 36 missing teeth. The prefabricated caps could fit on the healing abutments with good retention and stability. The sensitivity of the test group (0.73±0.14) was significantly better than that of control group (0.63±0.12, P<0.01), with no significant difference in positive predictive value between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The deviations of the interocclusal position of the occlusal surfaces of the remaining teeth were (357.0±140.2) μm for the test group, and (399.4±206.3) μm for the control group, with no significant difference between them ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Interocclusal position record based on prefabricated cap in this study for implant-supported fixed prosthetic treatment can improve the consistency between the intra-oral occlusion and the occlusion in dental casts. This technique has good accuracy, clinical convenience and usability.
