Objective To explore the relationship between the typing of MSCT and prognosis in infant with interstitial pneumonia (IP).Methods MSCT features of 44 infants with IP were analyzed retrospectively and classified according to the pathological pro-gress.The relationship between the MSCT typing and clinical prognosis was statistically analyzed.Results The result of the MSCT typing was as follows:the exudation in 22 cases,the proliferation in 18 cases and the ruin in 4 cases.There was significant difference for the clinical prognosis among the different MSCT groups (P＜0.01 ).And there was a significant correlation between the MSCT typing and clinical prognosis (r＝0.784,P＜0.01).The prognosis of the exudation type was better than the proliferation type,and both of them were better than the ruin type.Conclusion Based on the MSCT features,MSCT typing reveals the inflammatory patho-logical process of the infant IP,which plays an important role in treatment options decision and prognosis prediction.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of mental rehabilitation group management on the survival skills of community patients with schizophrenia.Methods Totally 106 community patients with mental disorder registered at a sub-district health service center in Hangzhou between January 2014 and August 2016 were equally divided into an intervention group and a control group according to the random number table. The patients in both groups received original drug treatment and regular rehabilitation training, while the patients in the intervention group, on this basis, received mental rehabilitation group management activities for 4 weeks. The effectiveness of this intervention was measured and compared with survival skills training scale (SST) and Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS) before and after the intervention.Results Four weeks later, the SST score of the patients in the intervention group increased from (33.11±1.88) to (70.03±2.15), and their SDSS score decreased from (16.68±0.38) to (8.92±0.32), showing that they had better rehabilitation effects than the patients in the control group (t=-12.952, -14.760;P<0.01).Conclusions The model of mental rehabilitation group management can effectively improve the survival skills and interpersonal skills of community patients with schizophrenia, thereby helping them to return to the society successfully.

BACKGROUNDPatellofemoral osteoarthritis commonly occurs in older people, often resulting in anterior knee pain and severely reduced quality of life. The aim was to examine the effectiveness of arthroscopic patelloplasty and circumpatellar denervation for the treatment of patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA).

METHODSA total of 156 PFOA patients (62 males, 94 females; ages 45-81 years, mean 66 years) treated in our department between September 2012 and March 2013 were involved in this study. Clinical manifestations included recurrent swelling and pain in the knee joint and aggravated pain upon ascending/descending stairs, squatting down, or standing up. PFOA was treated with arthroscopic patelloplasty and circumpatellar denervation. The therapeutic effects before and after surgery were statistically evaluated using Lysholm and Kujala scores. The therapeutic effects were graded by classification of the degree of cartilage defect.

RESULTSA total of 149 cases were successfully followed up for 14.8 months, on average. The incisions healed well, and no complications occurred. After surgery, the average Lysholm score improved from 73.29 to 80.93, and the average Kujala score improved from 68.34 to 76.48. This procedure was highly effective for patients with cartilage defects I-III but not for patients with cartilage defect IV.

CONCLUSIONSFor PFOA patients, this procedure is effective for significantly relieving anterior knee pain, improving knee joint function and quality of life, and deferring arthritic progression.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the 3 dimensional-fat suppression-spoiled gradient-recalled acquisition (3D-FS-SPGR) sequence in the diagnosis of knee articular cartilage injury.

METHODSA total of 56 knee osteoarthritis patients (26 males, 30 females, ages 52-73 years, mean 61.8 years) treated in Department of Orthopedics, Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital between June 2013 and May 2014 were involved in this study. All patients underwent knee MRI, plus 3D-FS-SPGR sequence, arthroscopic exploration, and in contrast to the results of MRI results analysis, evaluation 3D-FS-SPGR and conventional sequence of cartilage damage consistent with the arthroscopic accuracy.

RESULTSDivided 56 knee joints into 336 cartilage articular surface, included 55.1% normal articular surface, 21.4% early osteoarthritis and 23.5% advanced osteoarthritis. The accordance of 3D-FS-SPGR sequence grading and arthroscopic was 90.2%. The sensitivity of 3D-FS-SPGR sequence was 93.1%, specificity was 98.3%, and Kappa value was 0.849. The sensitivity of T2WI sequence was 84.4%, specificity was 96.9%, and the Kappa value was 0.671.

CONCLUSIONFor unicompartment osteoarthritis , MRI 3D-FS-SPGR sequence is effective in sensitivity and specificity of cartilage damage.
