Objective To introduce the application scene,operating steps and preliminary clinical effect of tibial bone mass preservation technique in medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty(MUKA).Methods A total of 15 patients with antero-medial knee osteoarthritis(AMOA)treated in this hospital from May 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the study subjects.The tibial bone mass preservation technique was a-dopted to complete MUKA(fixed platform prosthesis).The operating time,intraoperative bleeding volume,hospitalization duration and operation complications were recorded.The VAS score before operation and in last follow up,range of motion(ROM)of knee joint,Knee Society Score(KSS),hip and knee stomping angle(HKA)of lower extremity in the operation side and image results were recorded to evaluate the clinical effect.Results The operations in 15 cases were successfully completed.The average operation time was(82.73±9.97)min,mean intraoperative bleeding volume was(21.00±9.49)mL and average hospital stay was(4.9±1.4)d.There was no intraoperative nerve,vascular and medial collateral ligament injury,no iatro-genic fracture,and no postoperative surgical site infection.All patients were followed up for average(5.87±2.77)months.The VAS score of knee joint,ROM,KSS and HKA angle of lower limb in the operated side were significantly improved compared with before operation(P<0.05).There was no prosthesis loosening,displacement or fragmentation,and no obvious degeneration aggravation of the lateral compartment of the knee joint.Conclusion The tibial bone mass preservation technique is a simple,effective and reliable method to deal with the slightly tight flexion space after tibial osteotomy during MUKA,and the postoperative clinical efficacy and imaging results are excellent.

Objective To observe the value of combined synthetic MRI and multiplexed sensitivity encoding diffusion weighted imaging(MUSE-DWI)for differentiating benign and malignant endometrial lesions.Methods Data of 112 patients with benign or malignant endometrial lesion confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.According to pathologic diagnosis,the patients were divided into malignant group(n=72)and benign group(n=40).Synthetic MRI and MUSE-DWI quantitative parameters,including T1,T2,proton density(PD)and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)of all lesions were acquired.The clinical data as well as ADC,T1,T2 and PD values of lesions were compared between groups,and those being significantly different between groups were included in univariate and multivariate logistic regression.Then the univariate and combined models were established for differentiating benign and malignant endometrial lesions.The receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn,and areas under the curves(AUC)were calculated to evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of the models,which were compared with DeLong test.Results Patients'age in malignant group were higher than that in benign group(P＜0.05).The length of the maximum diameter was larger,ADC,T2 and PD values were lower in malignant lesions than those in benign ones(all P＜0.05),while no significant difference of T1 value was found between groups(P=0.074).The AUC of ADC univariate model was 0.966,and there was no significant difference in AUC(0.970)between the combined ADC+T2+PD model(adjusted P＞0.05),but both higher than AUC of T2 univariate model(0.618),PD univariate model(0.664)and the combined T2+PD model(0.668)(all adjusted P＜0.05).Conclusion ADC univariate model and combined model with other parameters of combined synthetic MRI and MUSE-DWI could be used to effectively differentiate benign and malignant endometrial lesions.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cerebral atrophy and total burden of cerebral small vessel disease in patients with recent small subcortical infarct(RSSI).Methods A total of 194 elderly RSSI patients admitted to Department of Neurology of Changzhou Second People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from September 2021 to November 2022 were recruited in this study.All patients completed cranial MRI examination and were divid-ed into a non-mild group 1(97 cases)and a moderate to severe group 1(97 cases)based on the to-tal burden of cerebral small vessel diseases(CSVD)imaging.Visual assessment scale was used to assess the severity of brain atrophy in the whole brain and various regions of the brain.According to the global cortical atrophy scale(GCA)score,all patients were divided into a non-mild group 2(88 cases)and a moderate to severe group 2(106 cases).Brain atrophy in various regions,medial temporal lobe atrophy(MTA)score,frontal temporal lobe atrophy(FTA)score,and posterior cortical atrophy(PA)score were evaluated.Their general clinical and imaging data were collected,multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to analyze the relationship between GCA score and total burden of CSVD imaging in RSSI patients,and Spearman correlation analysis was further adopted to explore the correlation of GCA score and different parts of brain atrophy with total burden of CSVD imaging.Results When compared with the non-mild group 1,the moderate to severe group 1 had significantly larger proportions of having GCA score of 2-3 points,PA score of 2-3 points,MTA score of 2-4 points and FTA score of 2-4 points(P＜0.01).The ra-tio of having 2-4 points in total imaging burden score of CSVD was obviously higher in the mod-erate to severe group 2 than the non-mild group 2(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression anal-ysis showed that age and total burden of CSVD imaging were independent risk factors for brain atrophy in RSSI patients(OR=1.184,95％CI:1.099-1.276,P=0.000;OR=3.537,95％CI:1.664-7.518,P=0.001).Spearman correlation analysis revealed that the total burden score of CSVD imaging was positively correlated with GCA,MTA,FTA and PA scores in RSSI patients(r=0.518,r=0.382,r=0.471,r=0.388,P=0.000).Conclusion The total burden of CSVD is an independent risk factor for GCA in elderly RSSI patients.The more serious the total burden of CSVD is,the higher the grade of GCA is.The total burden of CSVD is related to the whole brain and brain atrophy in other different regions of the brain.

Background In recent years, radiation diagnosis and treatment technology has been increasingly applied and popularized in the medical field, and the status of radiation health protection has attracted widespread attention. Objective To understand the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of radiological health protection in radiation workers in Jiading District of Shanghai. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select 441 radiation workers from 33 medical institutions in Jiading District, Shanghai to conduct a questionnaire survey from May to August 2023. Basic information and radiation protection associated knowledge, attitude, and behavior were collected from the study participants, and the scores of knowledge, attitude, and behavior were calculated. Factors affecting the behavior were evaluated by multiple linear regression. Results A total of 441 subjects were included in this study, with an age range of 22-71 years, 53.06% male and 46.94% female. In terms of knowledge, the correct response rate of the study subjects to the seven questions on the basics of radiation protection ranged from 44.22%-96.60%, with the lowest rate of 44.22% for the question on "radiation stochastic effect diseases". The subjects acquired knowledge about radiation hygiene mainly through vocational training (98.41%), and wanted to acquire knowledge mainly about the basics of nuclear and radiation (76.42%). In terms of attitude, the recognition level (strongly agree/agree) of the study subjects on the six attitude questions ranged from 73.47% to 96.37%, in which only 56.92% of the radiological staff at tertiary hospitals believed that the radiation dose they were exposed to at work would be hazardous to their health, and 73.85% believed that it was necessary to participate in training on knowledge of radiological protection, both lower than those in other levels of hospitals. In terms of behavior, the implementation rate (always/often) of the five behavioral questions by the study participants ranged from 75.28% to 91.84%, and there was a statistically significant difference in the total behavioral scores of the study participants by levels of hospitals (P=0.015). The results of multiple linear regression showed that gender, age, and radiation work permit associated with the behavioral scores of the study subjects. Conclusion In Jiading District, Shanghai, the coginitive rate of radiation workers' basic knowledge of theoretical protection still needs to be improved, and occupational training should be carried out in a targeted manner; the attitude of radiation workers varies by levels of hospitals, and the publicity and education of workers at tertiary hospitals in particular should be strengthened; and the supervision and management of male, senior, and non-certified radiation workers in hospitals of different levels should be enhanced.
