Objective To analyse the changes of cerebral cortical thickness and explore the connectivity of cortical thickness and the clinical syndrome of concomitant strabismus using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging.Methods Participants were 26 children with primary strabismus and 28 healthy children strictly matched for sex, age, education and socioeconomic level.By using Freesurfer software, the whole-brain-based analysis was perfomrmed to compare the cortical thickness between the two groups.Results Compared with the healthy control group the children with strabismus were found that the cerebral cortex became thinner, including these brain regions related with stereovision,advanced visual-attention,attention and executive control function,as well as brain areas in insula and cingulate circuit.Conclusion Concomitant strabismus in children are not only caused by pathological changes of extraocular muscles,but anatomical changes of the central nervous system, especially the brain areas involved in the advanced visual processing related with visual-motor and visual-attention, and the advanced cognitive brain regions associated with attention and executive control, as well as the anatomical changes in insula and cingulate cortex circuit, which can explain the clinical syndrome of children with concomitant strabismus.

Objective To investigate the incidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in divers of Dalian.Methods From January 2010 to December 2010,all registered 855 divers in Dalian were enrolled in this study.All divers underwent a unified medical examination and a questionnaire including height,weight,blood pressure and hip inspection.Radiological examination (anteroposterior and frog position)was used for all divers.Suspicious persons with hip pain but normal X-ray performance were confirmed by MRI.Results Sixty-eight divers were confirmed as ONFH,and the incidence of ONFH in divers of Dalian was 7.95％.According to the Ficat classification,12 patients (12 hips) were in Phase 1,40 patients (47 hips)in phase Ⅱ,3 patients (3 hips) in phase Ⅲ,13 patients (15 hips) in phase Ⅳ.The mean age of divers was 32.6+5.5 years (range,18-55 years).The onset ages of most patients ranged from 30 years to 50 years,accounted for 83.82％ (57/68).Among all patients,primary school education accounted for 10.58％ (38/359),junior high school education 6.28％ (28/446),high school education 4.26％ (2/47),university education 0 (0/3); seniority less than 5 years accounted for 4.55％ (20/440),6-10 years 9.69％ (28/289),11-15 years 13.04％ (12/92),16-20 years 21.05％ (4/19),more than 20 years 26.67％ (4/15); self-employed accounted for 11.88％ (19/160),private enterprise 8.41％ (38/452),and national enterprise 4.53％ (11/243).Conclusion The incidence of ONFH is high in divers of Dalian,which is different in terms of age,seniority,level of education,enterprise nature.

Objective To investigate the clinical and CT features of basal cell adenomas (BCA)of parotid gland,and to improve the understanding of the disease.Methods Clinical and CT data of 1 8 patients with BCA of parotid gland confirmed by surgery and pathology were collected.The characteristics of age,sex,clinical symptom,lesion site,number,size,shape,density and CT dualGphase enhancement of the lesions were retrospectively analyzed.Results (1)Age and sex of onset:1 2 cases(6 6.6 7%)of age stage from 30 to 5 9,5 cases (27.78%)of the elder over 60,1 case of the younger below 29,5 cases (27.78%)for males,1 3cases (72.22%)for females,the incidence ratio of male to female being 1 ︰ 2.5.(2)Clinical manifestations:there were sporadic masses in the parotid region,3 cases were accompanied by mild pain and all patients had no facial nerve symptoms.(3)Location site,number,size:23 lesions in 18 cases, of which 15 cases (83.3%)were single and 3 cases (16.7%)had multiple lesions on one side.17 lesions (73.9%)were located in superficial lobe, and 6 lesions (26.1%)were located in the deep lobe;(4)Shape and cross section diameter:the shape of the tumor was round or ellipse with wellG defined margin,13 cases (56.5%)of the round shape,10 cases (43.5%)of the ellipse;the maximum cross section diameter was (2.49±1.3 8)cm,the superficial lobe group was (2.05 ±1.02)cm,and the deep lobe group was (3.73 ±1.59)cm.The difference between the two groups on the maximum cross section diameter was significant (P＜ 0.05).(5)Density:the density of most lesions was heterogeneous.17 lesions were accompanied by central or peripheral cystic degeneration of varying degrees,of which 10 lesions with cystic regions ＞ 50% and 2 lesions with maximum transverse diameter ＜ 0.8 cm.(6)CT dualGphase enhancement:19 lesions showed obvious homogeneous or heterogeneous enhancement on the arterial phase,and persistent enhancement on the venous phase.4 lesions showed progressive heterogeneous enhancement,and the enhancement degree of venous phase was even higher than that of arterial phase.Conclusion The BCA of the parotid gland aremainly occuring in middleGaged and older women,displaying regular shape of lesions,developing to cystic degeneration easily and presenting＂fastGelevation and sustained enhancement＂or progressive enhancement patterns in the dualGphase enhanced scans.These characteristics are helpful to make a diagnosis preoperatively.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common sports injury that has a significant impact on knee function and patients′ mobility. With the popularity of national fitness campaign in China, the incidence of ACL injury is increasing year by year. Currently, there still lacks clinical standards or guidelines on how to choose appropriate treatment methods, surgical plans and rehabilitation protocols for ACL injury. In order to timely reflect the new treatment concept of ACL injury, standardize its diagnosis and treatment and improve the curative effect, the Sports Medicine Society of Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized domestic orthopedic and sports medicine experts to formulate the "clinical evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injury (2022 version)" based on the level of evidence-based medicine and in compliance with the principle of scientificity, practicability and advancement. The present guideline includes 12 recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of ACL injury in order to provide guidance and assistance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ACL injury in China.

BACKGROUND: Benvitimod cream, a novel synthetic small molecule, was effective in treating mild-to-moderate plaque psoriasis. We conducted a phase III clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of benvitimod cream in patients with mild-to-moderate plaque psoriasis. METHODS: We randomly assigned 686 patients (2:1:1) to receive 1% benvitimod cream, 0.005% calcipotriol ointment or placebo twice a day for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy end points were the percentage of patients with a 75% or greater reduction from baseline in the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI 75) score and with a score of 0 or 1 in static physician's global assessment (sPGA) at week 12. RESULTS: The results showed that 50.4% of patients in the benvitimod group achieved PASI 75, which was significantly higher than that in the calcipotriol (38.5%, P < 0.05) and placebo (13.9%, P < 0.05) groups. The proportion of patients achieving an sPGA score 0 or 1 was 66.3% in the benvitimod group and 63.9% in the calcipotriol group, which were both significantly higher than that in the placebo group (34%, P < 0.05). In the long-term follow-up study, 50.8% of patients experienced recurrence. After retreatment with 1% benvitimod, 73.3% of patients achieved an sPGA score of 0 or 1 again at week 52. Adverse events included application site irritation, follicular papules, and contact dermatitis. No systemic adverse reactions were reported. CONCLUSION: During this 12-week study, benvitimod cream was demonstrated with high effectiveness and safety in patients with mild-to-moderate plaque psoriasis.
