Objective To evaluate the accuracy of dose-length product (DLP) values in CT dose reports by comparing them with the DLP values measured using a pencil-type ionization chamber. Methods Experiments were conducted using four CT scanners with different detector row numbers from two manufacturers (A and B), along with a head phantom and a pencil-type ionization chamber. Other scanning parameters were fixed, while pairwise combinations of kV and mAs were tested. The DLP values were measured under various scanning conditions using the pencil-type ionization chamber (DLP_measured) and the corresponding DLP values in CT dose reports were recorded (DLP_reported). All data were subjected to statistical analysis. Results Differences were observed between DLP_reported and DLP_measured values. The smallest mean absolute value of ΔDLP was approximately 2.526 mGy·cm observed on the 40-row CT scanner of manufacturer A. There was a difference between the ΔDLPs of the four CT scanners. Both DLP_reported and DLP_measured exhibited a linear relationship with mAs. Conclusion The percentage errors between DLP_reported and DLP_measured values for all four CT scanners were within the national standard tolerance of 15%. DLP values in CT dose reports can serve as a reference for assessing patient radiation dose during scanning. However, for radiation dose-related research, data measured using dosimetric instruments such as pencil-type ionization chamber are recommended.

Threatened abortion is a common disease of obstetrics and gynecology and one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in TCM obstetrics and gynecology， Western medicine obstetrics and gynecology， and pharmacology to deeply discuss the advantages of TCM and integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment as well as the medication plans for threatened abortion. After discussion， the experts concluded that chromosome， endocrine， and immune abnormalities were the key factors for the occurrence of threatened abortion， and the Qi and blood disorders in thoroughfare and conception vessels were the core pathogenesis. In the treatment of threatened abortion， TCM has advantages in preventing miscarriages， alleviating clinical symptoms and TCM syndromes， relieving anxiety， regulating reproductive endocrine and immune abnormalities， personalized and diversified treatment， enhancing efficiency and reducing toxicity， and preventing the disease before occurrence. The difficulty in diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with traditional Chinese and Western medicine lies in identifying the predictors of abortion caused by maternal factors and the treatment of thrombophilia. Recurrent abortion is the breakthrough point of treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is urgent to carry out high-quality evidence-based medicine research in the future to improve the modern diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with TCM.

Accurate classification of the acetabular injuries and appropriate treatment plan are great challenges for orthopedic surgeons because of the irregular anatomical structure of the acetabulum and aggregation of important vessels and nerves around it. Letournel-Judet classification system has been widely applied to classify acetabular fractures. However, there are several limitations, including incomplete inclusion of fracture types, difficulty in understanding and insufficient guidance for surgical treatment, etc. Serious complications such as traumatic arthritis are common due to wrong classification and diagnosis and improper selection of surgical strategy, which brings a heavy burden to the society and families. Three-column classification, based on anatomic characteristics, has advantages of containing more fracture types and being easy to understand, etc. To solve the problems existing in the diagnosis and treatment process based on Letournel-Judet classification, achieve accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients with acetabular fractures, and obtain satisfactory prognosis, the Orthopedic Trauma Emergency Center of Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University and the Trauma Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate the Expert consensus on the accurate diagnosis and treatment of acetabular fractures based on three-column classification ( version 2023) in terms of principles of evidence-based medicine. Based on the three-column classification, 15 recommendations were proposed, covering the diagnosis, treatment, complication prevention and management, etc, so as to provide reference for accurate diagnosis and treatment of acetabular fractures.

Objective:To explore the surgical methods and treatment effects of adult anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint (AADSJ).Methods:A multi-center retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 25 cases admitted in 5 clinical centers (affiliations of authors in this article) from January 2016 to January 2021. There were 18 males and 7 females, aged 38.8±15.5 years (range, 18-83 years). The AADSJ clinical classification system was formulated based on the radiographic morphology of anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint, which includes two types. Type I: complete anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint, and displacement of the entire iliac auricular surface to the front of the sacrum. Type II: fracture of the sacroiliac joint combined with anterior dislocation, subdivided into 3 subtypes. Type IIa: iliac fracture involves the anterior 1/3 of the sacroiliac joint, and dislocation of the ilium anterior to the sacrum. Type IIb: iliac fracture involves the posterior 2/3 of the sacroiliac joint, and dislocation of the ilium anterior to the sacrum. Type IIc: iliac fracture involves the posterior 2/3 of the sacroiliac joint, and dislocation of the ilium anteromedial to the sacrum. The reliability and repeatability of the clinical classification, Tile classification and Young-Burgess classification were performed based on the results of two-phase assessments in four observers. The operations were performed by the lateral-rectus approach and the ilioinguinal approach. The operation time and intraoperative bleeding were recorded. Pelvic X-ray and CT scan were rechecked after the operation. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated according to Matta score. The postoperative functional rehabilitation was evaluated according to the Majeed rehabilitation standard at one-year follow-up.Results:Among 25 cases in this study, there were 3 cases of Type I, 5 cases of Type IIa, 9 cases of Type IIb and 8 cases of Type IIc according to the clinical classification system. The Kappa values of reliability tests for the clinical classification, Tile classification and Young-Burgess classification were 0.681, 0.328 and 0.383, respectively. The Kappa values of repeatability tests for the clinical classification, Tile classification and Young-Burgess classification were 0.690, 0.221 and 0.395, respectively. The reliability and repeatability of the AADSJ clinical classification were significantly better than other classifications. There were 14 cases underwent lateral rectus abdominis approach and 11 cases underwent ilioinguinal approach. The operative time for managing anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint was 122.0±50.7 min (range, 65-148 min) through the lateral rectus abdominis approach, and through the ilioinguinal approach was 178.0±49.9 min (range, 110-270 min), with a significant difference ( t=2.76, P=0.011). The amount of intraoperative blood loss through the lateral rectus approach was 680±330 ml (range, 350-2,120 ml), which was significantly less than that through the ilioinguinal approach (1,660±968 ml, 680-3,300 ml), with a significant difference ( t=3.55, P=0.002). The follow-up period was 1-3 years. At one week after surgery, the quality of fracture reduction evaluated by Matta score showed that the excellent and good reduction rate of the lateral-rectus approach was 79% (11/14), and that of the ilioinguinal approach was 73% (11/14), with no statistically significant difference ( P=1.000). At a one-year follow-up, according to Majeed's criteria, the overall excellent and good rate of the lateral-rectus approach was 64% (9/14), which is similar to 64% (7/11) of that of the ilioinguinal approach. No fracture reduction loss or internal fixation loosening failure occurred. Conclusion:The AADSJ clinical classification system can accurately describe the imaging features and clinical manifestations of AADSJ, with high reliability and repeatability. The AADSJ can be treated by the lateral-rectus approach or the ilioinguinal approach, with similar therapeutic effects but the former having less trauma.

Objective:To explore the surgical techniques and clinical effects of minimally invasive adjustable plate (MIAP) together with distraction reduction by minimally invasive anterior pelvic ring internal fixator (INFIX) in the treatment of fresh Denis type ⅡB sacral fracture with sacral nerve injury.Methods:From June 2017 to June 2020, 12 fresh Denis type ⅡB sacral fractures were treated by anterior-posterior distraction reduction and fixation with MIAP and INFIX. There were 8 males and 4 females, with an average age of 30 years (from 16 to 44 years). Preoperatively, imaging found Denis ⅡB fracture of the sacrum and magnetic resonance neurography of the lumbosacral plexus showed injury to the sacral nerve root at the sacral foramen. All patients had symptoms of S 1 nerve root injury on the affected side after injury, with 9 cases of grade M0 and 3 cases of grade M1. The time from injury to operation averaged 11 days (from 5 to 19 days). INFIX combined with MIAP was used to distract and fixate the compressed sacral fracture. The quality of fracture reduction and recovery of sacral nerve function were evaluated postoperatively. Results:According to the criteria proposed by Lindahl et al., the quality of fracture reduction was excellent in 8 cases, good in 2 and fair in 2. The 12 cases were followed up for an average of 20 months (from 12 to 36 months). All sacral fractures got united after an average of 6 weeks (from 5 to 8 months). At one-year follow-up, according to the criteria proposed by the Nerve Injuries Committee of the British Medical Research Council, the postoperative muscle strength recovery was evaluated as complete recovery in 10 cases and as partial recovery in 2 cases.Conclusion:In the treatment of fresh Denis type ⅡB sacral fracture, MIAP combined with INFIX can obtain satisfactory clinical effects because the compressed sacrum can be effectively distracted, the sacral foramen be expanded and the sacral nerve be decompressed indirectly.

Objective:To investigate the application of three-dimensional (3D) image fusion technique of pelvic enhanced CT and magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) on the patients of pelvic fractures with lumbosacral plexus injury.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, 15 patients (11 males, 4 females, mean age 26.67±11.34 of pelvic fracture (AO classification C1.3 of 11 cases, C2 of 2 cases, C3 of 2 cases) with lumbosacral plexus injury underwent 3D image fusion of pelvic enhanced CT and MRN. All patients exhibited lower limb nerve dysfunction after injury. The preoperative muscle strength were evaluated by British Medical Research Council (BMRC) criteria: grade 0 in 2 cases, grade 1 in 5, grade 2 in 7 and grade 3 in 1. Physical examination and enhanced CT combined with MRN 3D image fusion technology were used to accurately determine the injury site of lumbosacral plexus nerve, fracture displacement, and the direction of blood vessels and ureters, and develop corresponding surgical plans. The neurological functions were measured in post-operation follow-up.Results:All 15 operations were successfully completed and the site of lumbosacral plexus injury during operation was consistent with preoperative fusion image, and inconsistency of injury characteristic in 4 patients (4/15, 27%). Among the 6 cases of laparoscopic surgery, 2 cases were changed to open surgery because of the difficulty of nerve decompression. The average time of 4 cases of laparoscopic surgery was 116.27±26.46 min and intraoperative blood loss was 102.50±79.32 ml. The average time of 11 cases of open operation was 123.64±38.28 min, and intraoperative blood loss was 713.64±393.12 ml. For the opening operations, 9 cases were successfully decompressed, and nerve disruption was observed in 2 patients. All 15 patients were followed up. The average follow-up time was 9.33±2.19 months. The radial bony healing was observed in each case at the end of follow-up, mean healing time was 5.03±1.04 months (range, 3-6 months). In addition, patients' muscle strength recovered, 8 cases of grade 5, 3 cases of grade 4, 1 case of grade 3, 1 case of grade 2, and 2 cases of grade 0 after surgery. The difference was statistically significant ( Z=3.27, P<0.001). On the other hand, in sensory function assessment, there were 8 cases of grade S5, 1 case of grade S4, 3 cases of grade S3, 1 case of grade S2 and 2 cases of grade S0 after surgery. Conclusion:3D image fusion of enhanced CT and MRN can accurately locate and characterize pelvic fractures combined with lumbosacral plexus injury before surgery, accurately guide the formulation of surgical plan, and reduce surgical trauma and related complications.

Objective:To explore the surgical technique and clinical results of the lateral-rectus approach (LRA) for acetabular fractures combined with ipsilateral greater sciatic notch fractures.Methods:Nine cases of acetabular fractures combined with ipsilateral greater sciatic notch fractures treated by the LRA from January 2015 to January 2021 were involved in this study, including 7 males and 2 females with age of 39.8±15.4 years (range, 25-54 years). Six cases were injured by falling and the others by traffic accidents. There were 3 cases combined with pelvic fractures, 1 combined with craniocerebral injury, 3 combined with thoracic injury, 2 combined with closed abdominal injury, and 3 combined with other fractures of the extremities. Based on the Letournel-Judet classification, the cases were all classified as double-column acetabular fractures. The fractures of the greater sciatic notch are all fractures with obvious displacement from the lower part of the sacroiliac joint through the top of the greater sciatic notch to the posterior column of the acetabulum. Pelvic X-ray and CT examination were performed after operation. The reduction quality of the acetabulum and greater sciatic foramen was evaluated by Matta's criteria. The function of the hip joint was assessed by modified Merle D'Aubigné-Postel score.Results:All 9 patients were successfully completed the operation, and followed up. The operation time was 140.4±55.2 min (range, 110-190 min). The amount of intraoperative blood loss was 770.5±430.9 ml (range, 540-1,260 ml). All cases of fractures had healed in 7.7±3.4 weeks (range, 6-12 weeks) after operation. According to Matta's reduction quality criteria, the quality of fracture reduction after surgery was excellent in 7 cases and good in 2 cases. The follow-up period was 24.8±8.8 months (range, 6-12 months). Fractures of the acetabulum and greater sciatic foramen healed well, with the healing time of 6 to 12 weeks. There were no complications such as loss of fracture reduction, failure of internal fixation, traumatic arthritis or necrosis of femoral head. Matta's modified Merle d'Aubigne-Postel hip function score was 16.2±0.6 (range, 12-18) one year after surgery. There were excellent in 6 cases, good in 2 cases, fair in 1 case, with an excellent and good rate of 89%.Conclusion:Fractures of the acetabulum and ipsilateral greater sciatic notch are serious injuries with difficulty in surgical reduction and fixation. The LRA can better complete reduction and fixation of the above fractures, obtaining satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Pelvic fractures usually are high-energy injuries, which often involve high incidence of nerve injury, including lumbosacral plexus injuries and cauda equina injuries. Duo to 50% of neurological improvement has been reported regardless of the type of operative or nonoperative management after pelvic fractures complicated with nerve injuries, it still remains controversial whether surgical exploration is effective in such cases at an early stage and there is also some disagreement between anterior exploration or posterior exploration. We should find out the mechanism of pelvic fractures and the nature of nerve injuries. What's more, we must have a clear understanding of the location and qualitative diagnosis of the nerve injuries. After admission of patients, a detailed physical examination, combined with pelvic X-ray, CT, magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) and other imaging findings, which are conducive to make accurate diagnosis of the nature of nerve injuries, are carried out to make a targeted treatment plan. Generally speaking, cauda equina injuries are more common injuries in U-shaped sacral fractures, which cause the compression and space-occupying lesions of the sacral canal, so the posterior approach is a major approach to achieve the reduction and fixation of the sacral fractures and the decompression of sacral canal. While the lumbosacral plexus injuries are caused by the anterior compression, it is better to perform anterior approach to achieve the desired effect.

Objective:To evaluate the airway and voice quality improvement in patients with bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP) who underwent selective laryngeal reinnervation surgery.Methods:From January 2012 to December 2016, a retrospective study was conducted in 39 patients with BVFP who underwent selective laryngeal reinnervation surgery in Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Navy Medical University. All patients were examined by videostroboscopy, vocal function assessment, laryngeal electromyography and pulmonary function test before and after the surgery, and followed up for at least 2 years to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the surgery.Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze the G score and VHI-10 score data. Paired t-test was used to analyze acoustic parameters, MPT values and pulmonary function parameters. Results:Postoperative infection and hemorrhage occurred in one patient separately.Videostroboscopic videos showed that at 4-8 months postoperatively, vocal folds in 35 patients achieved moderate or severe abduction during inspiration, 2 patients only achieved mild abduction, 2 patients showed no abduction,while all patients achieved adduction in bilateral vocal cords during phonation. The recovery rate of moderate-to-severe abduction was 89.7% (35/39), and these patients were decannulated successfully. At 12 months after operation, G score and VHI-10 score were significantly lower than those before operation ( P<0.05), and the acoustic parameters jitter, shimmer, HNR and MPT were significantly improved ( P<0.05). Most of the parameters of the pulmonary function test at 3 months postoperatively returned to the normal reference level, while the maximum inspiratory pressure (PImax) at 12 months after operation was still slightly lower than the normal level, but it was significantly improved compared with preoperative value ( P<0.05). The EMG data at 12 months postoperatively showed full interference potentials in 37 patients in bilateral posterior cricoarytenoid muscles during inspiration, and full interference potentials in bilateralthyroarytenoid muscles during phonation. Obvious misdirected regeneration electric activitieswere found in two of them. Potentials in posterior cricoarytenoid muscle were weak in 2 cases with poor abduction. During long-term follow-up, only one case showed decreased abduction, but did not affect respiratory function. Conclusions:The selective laryngeal reinnervation procedure applied in the present study can restore physiological motion of vocal cords. The success rate was high, the curative effect was stable, and the complications were rare. It is worth of promotion.
