Objective To analyze MRI features of real tears and pseudotears of posterior horn of the lateral meniscus (PHLM) at the insertion site of meniscofemoral ligament(MFL), and to discuss main points of differential diagnosis. Methods MR images of 32 patients with PHLM tears and 30 patients with anterior cruciate ligament tears but without PHLM tears confirmed by arthroscopy were analyzed retrospectively. Another 20 asymptomatic volunteers as controls underwent MR examination and analyzed. The number of consecutive slices displaying longitudinal increased signal in sagittal images and the length in axial images were evaluated. The one?way analysis of variance, χ2 test and ROC curve were used to analyze diagnostic value of different MRI findings. Results Longitudinal line with abnormal increased signal (pseudotear) was found in 82.0% (41/50) normal insertion site of MFLs. The typical MRI finding of real tears was peripheral longitudinal linear high signal in PHLM which reached the margin of articular surface. In sagittal images, longitudinal linear high signal was shown in (5.8 ± 1.2) slices in knees of real tears, which was more than (2.6±1.1) slices and (2.7±1.4) slices in pseudo?tear groups (F=60.9, P<0.01). The area under ROC curve was 0.96 for differentiating real tear from pseudo-tear using the number of consecutive slices displaying longitudinal increased signal in sagittal images. With a threshold of five or more consecutive images with abnormal longitudinal increased signal as the positive standard of continuous?line sign, the overall sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for diagnosing real tear were 90.6%(29/32), 90.2%(37/41) and 90.4%(66/73), respectively. The axial images showed that the length of increased signal line in the outer of PHLM was (16.4±4.9) mm in patients with real tears, which was longer than pseudo?tear groups with length of (8.1 ± 3.2) mm and (6.0 ± 3.1) mm (F=17.0, P<0.01). The area under ROC curve was 0.92 for differentiating real tear from pseudo?tear using the length in axial images. The zip sign was defined when its length was not less than 10 mm. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the zip sign was 84.4%(27/32), 90.2%(37/41) and 87.7%(64/73) respectively. In coronal images, high signal of MFL attachment insertion was shown in 71.9%(23/32), 60.0%(15/25) and 10/16 cases, there was no significant difference (χ2=0.98, P=0.61). Conclusion The continuous?line sign and zip sign are characteristic findings of PHLM tears at the insertion site of MFL attachment, which are valuable for differential diagnosis with pseudotears at the insertion site of MFL.

Objective To analysis the incidence and management of monozygotic twin (MZT) conceived by assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical pregnancies and MZT that resulted from ART was performed in Reproductive Medical Center,the First Affiliated Hospital,Wenzhou Medical University between January 2011 and January 2014. Results A total of 5 908 pregnancies were diagnosed: 2 012 twins, 157 high-order multiple pregnancy (HOMP), including 4 quadruplets. Overall, 51 MZT pregnancies were identified of them including 32 cases HOMP and 19 cases MZT. The incidence of MZT resulting from cleavage-stage embryo transfer was similar to blastocyst transfer (P=0.960). The percent of MZT resulting from in vitro fertilization [0.93% (28/3 022)], frozen-thawed embryo transfer [0.87% (13/1 502)] and intracytoplamic sperm injection [0.72% (10/1 384)] did not show statistical significance (P=0.794). The expectantly managed MZT was associated with a significantly greater likelihood of miscarriage [6/19 vs 5.11% (101/1 976)], and low birth weight infant [73.91% (17/23) vs 42.89% (1 453/3 388), P<0.01], when compared with dizygotic twin (DZT) did not undergo selective embryo reduction(SER). In monozygotic (MZ)-triplets with SER to 2 fetuses or to 1 fetus, there was no cases of preterm birth or low birth weight infant observed in MZ-triplets with SER to 1 fetus;when compared with MZ-triplets with SER to 2 fetuses, the low birth weight infant [56.00% (14/25), P=0.021] has statistical significance. The likelihood of the survival of two babies was lower in MZ-triplets with SER to 2 fetuses when compared with non-MZ triplets with SER to 2 fetuses [42.86%(9/21)vs 75.21%(91/121), P=0.003]. Conclusions The incidence of MZT pregnancies following ART is high. It plays a significant role in the occurrence of HOMP. MZT pregnancies are at an increased risk of adverse outcomes , it should transform to a single embryo thansfer (SET) program to reduce them incideuce. Reduction of MZT contained in multiple pregnancies appears to be a safe option.

ObjectiveTo describe different non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) outcomes among community inhabitants, and further to explore the correlation between bio-indicator level variance and the outcomes. MethodsPhysical indicators (height, weight, waist circumstances, hip circumstances, blood pressure, etc), biochemical indicators [fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, serum triglycerides(TG), serum total cholesterol(TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), liver related transaminase, etc] and clinical imaging (B-scan ultrasonography) were collected during the follow-up from the Songjiang Natural Population Sub-cohort. The identification of NAFLD was supported by the definition criteria from Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of non⁃alcoholic fatty liver disease. Paired t-test and multifactorial logistic regression model were used to compare the difference between the indicator level of the subjects from different outcome subgroups and to further analyze the correlation between these indicator variance and different NAFLD outcomes. ResultsDuring a median follow-up time of 2.94 years, 12 076 subjects were involved. The cumulative NAFLD incidence and remission rate were 21.57% and 31.15%, respectively. The proportion of subjects who still had NAFLD was 27.96%. Among subjects with newly-developed NAFLD, indicators including blood pressure, BMI, fasting plasma glucose, and plasma lipid level increased, while in the remission subgroup, blood pressure, BMI(WHR), waist-hip ratio(WHR), and TG level were significantly decreased. Increased level of systolic pressure, WHR, BMI, HbA1c, and LDL-C might be the risk factors to the occurrence of NAFLD. While decreased level of WHR, BMI, TC and LDL-C level and elevated HDL-C level were likely to be the influencing factors of NAFLD remission process. ConclusionThe NAFLD morbidity in the community inhabitants is relatively high. BMI, WHR, fasting plasma sugar and plama lipid level variance may act as the influencing factors towards different NAFLD outcomes.

ObjectiveTo investigate the comorbidity of community patients with stroke in Songjiang District, Shanghai, determine the prevalence and characteristics of comorbidities and influencing factors, and provide scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of stroke. MethodsA natural population-based cohort study was conducted in several communities of Songjiang District from April 2016 to October 2017. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and biochemical examination were conducted in the cohort population to understand the comorbidity of 1 523 patients with stroke at baseline. ResultsThe prevalence of comorbidities in community patients with stroke was 74.0%, which was higher in female (76.36%) than that in male (70.76%). The average number of comorbidities was 2.62±1.56, which was significantly higher in female (2.70±1.58) than that in male (2.52±1.54) (t=-2.31, P=0.021). In this population, the most common two-comorbidity combination was hypertension+central obesity (35.85%), and the most common three-comorbidity combination was hypertension+dyslipidemia+central obesity (17.20%), with statistically significant differences by gender and age groups (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥65 years, urban population, hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), and family history of hypertension were risk factors associated with comorbidities, whereas educational level of middle school and high school, and physical exercise 1‒3 days per week were protective factors. ConclusionPrevalence of comorbidity is high in community patients with stroke in Songjiang District, Shanghai. It is suggested to control blood pressure and body weight, adopt healthy lifestyle and take comprehensive prevention and treatment measures in this population.
