Objective:To evaluate the clinical significance of the coincidence test with 3D mirror image of unaffected side in the treatment of contralateral calcaneal fracture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed of the 35 patients who had been treated for single calcaneal fracture by coincidence test with 3D mirror image of unaffected side from January 2016 to June 2018 at Department of Trauma Orthopedics, The Sixth Hospital of Ningbo. They were 29 males and 6 females with an average age of 44 years (from 18 to 71 years). By Sanders classification, 19 cases were type Ⅱ and 16 cases type Ⅲ. CT scan and reconstruction of both calcaneuses was performed. The image of unaffected calcaneus was mirrored by Mimics software to guide virtual treatment of contralateral calcaneal fracture. Preoperatively the virtual bilateral calcaneuses and the reduced calcaneus were 3D printed to guide the actual operation. The coincidence test with 3D mirror image of unaffected side was used to evaluate fracture reduction after operation. Postoperative parameters such as B?hler Angle, Gissane Angle, calcaneal width, and coincidence of the affected calcaneal bone were recorded at 12 months after surgery. The clinical outcomes were assessed by American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score and visual analogue scale (VAS) score.Results:In this cohort, operation time averaged 43.9 min (from 30 to 55 min), time from admission to operation 3.6 d (from 0 to 14 d), and hospital stay 6.3 d (from 3 to 11 d). The patients were followed up for an average of 18.8 months (from 13 to 24 months). All patients achieved bone union after an average of 17 weeks (from 12 to 26 weeks). Re-collapse of subtalar articular surface, talocalcaneal joint fusion, loss of calcaneal height or length, and calcaneal width increase were observed in none of the patients. The VAS scores averaged 2 (from 0 to 4), and the AOFAS scores 93.3 (from 76 to 98). The total coincidence was 95.2%±3.5%. Spearman test indicated a positive correlation between postoperative total coincidence and AOFAS score ( ρ=0.588, P<0.05). Conclusion:The coincidence test with 3D mirror image of unaffected side can be used to treat contralateral calcaneal fracture, with advantages of reduced surgical time, increased surgical accuracy and fine clinical outcomes.

Objective? To explore the effects of Omaha system-based nursing intervention on patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods? Totally 200 patients receiving PCI in Ningbo First Hospital from February 2016 to November 2017 were selected using convenient sampling and divided into the control group (n=100) and the observation group (n=100) according to the random number table. Patients in the control group received conventional nursing care, while patients in the observation group received nursing care based on Omaha system. The incidence of postoperative vascular complications was evaluated between the two groups. Self-Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the nursing satisfaction questionnaire were used to evaluate the effects of intervention. Results? The incidence rate of postoperative vascular complications was lower in the observation group than in the control group (P< 0.05); the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05); and the satisfaction at discharge of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P< 0.05). Conclusions? Omaha system-based nursing interventions can reduce the incidence rate of postoperative vascular complications, ameliorate patients' negative emotions and improve their satisfaction, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.

Tongue diagnosis is one of the diagnostic methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but its development has always been restricted by the lack of objective quantitative indicators. With the rapid development of computer technology and the advent of the algorithm era, the modernization of TCM tongue diagnosis has gradually become a hot research spot. This paper annalyses the literature and related patents of the modernization of tongue diagnosis and summarizes the R&D progress and application of tongue diagnosis as well as related instruments. It is found that domestic and foreign scholars focus on tongue diagnosis related research and attach importance to the formulation of relevant international standards. Tongue collection and analysis technology continues to develop; tongue diagnostic instruments are also gradually enriched. At present, their applications are extended to family self-use, but they are still mainly used in teaching, scientific research and other fields, involving the clinical efficacy evaluation of TCM, clinical case classification and health management, and there is still much room for development. In the future, we should strengthen the communication between multi-regional research centers, promote the communication among talents in different fields, constantly make up for the deficiencies and promote the development of tongue diagnosis research.

Objective:To understand the sensory characteristics of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to explore its relationship with the clinical symptoms and to provide a reference basis for early diagnosis and intervention treatment of ASD.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect 216 children diagnosed with ASD according to DSM-5 from September 2021 to December 2021.All children were investigated with short sensory profile (SSP), autism behavior checklist (ABC) and social response scale (SRS). SPSS 21.0 was used for statistical analysis and the correlation between sensory characteristics and clinical symptoms of ASD children was analyzed by Pearson correlation.Results:The results showed that 120 of 216 with ASD children had abnormal SSP total score, with an abnormal rate of 55.6%.Among the seven dimensions, the abnormal rate of auditory filtering was the highest, reaching 83.8%, followed by low strength/weakness(60.2%), motor sensitivity(43.5%), low response/sensation seeking(39.8%), taste/smell sensitivity(37.5%), vision / hearing sensitivity(27.8%) and tactile sensitivity(17.6%), and the total incidence of paresthesia was 92.1%.There were significant differences in the total score of ABC and the five dimensions of sensation, communication, body movement, language and life self-care of ASD children with different sensory characteristics ( F=39.15, 39.99, 46.02, 29.18, 50.98, 51.76 respectively, all P<0.01). There were significant differences in the total score of SRS and social perception, social cognition, social communication, social motivation among ASD children with different sensory characteristics ( F=19.33, 29.47, 24.82, 29.68, 31.48, 39.86 respectively, all P<0.01). With the aggravation of sensory abnormalities, the total scores of ABC and SRS and the scores of each dimension increased.The total score of SSP was negatively correlated with the scores of sensation, communication, body movement, language, self-care and the total score of ABC ( r=-0.613, -0.631, -0.643, -0.558, -0.657, -0.679 respectively, all P<0.01). The total score of SSP was negatively correlated with social perception, social cognition, social communication, social motivation, autism behavior and the total score of SRS ( r=-0.440, -0.527, -0.504, -0.522, -0.542, -0.595 respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Sensory abnormalities are common in ASD children, and with the aggravation of sensory abnormalities, the core symptoms and behavioral performance of ASD children are more obvious and positively correlated.

Objective To investigate the effects of different concentrations and adsorption methods of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant produced by different manufacturers on the immunogenicity of the diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis and inactivated poliovirus combined vaccine ( DTaP-sIPV) . Methods Five anti-gens of DTaP were adsorbed onto different concentrations (0. 42 mg/ml, 0. 47 mg/ml and 0. 52 mg/ml) of aluminum hydroxide from different manufacturers through sequential and separate adsorption. Adsorbability, anti-pertussis toxin ( PT)/filamentous hemagglutinin ( FHA)/pertactin ( PRN)/diphtheria toxoid ( DT)/tet-anus toxoid ( TT) antibodies and the potency of vaccines were detected. Results The adsorbability of alu-minum hydroxide adjuvant slightly decreased with the reduction of concentration. No significant difference in potency and antibody level was observed between sequential and separate adsorption. Moreover, no signifi-cant difference in antibody level was observed between vaccines prepared with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant produced by General Chemical Corp and our institute. Conclusion Aluminum hydroxide adjuvant produced by our institute at the concentration of 0. 52 mg/ml and separate adsorption method are suitable for prepara-tion of DTaP-sIPV.
