BACKGROUND:Ultrasound has been widely used in developmental hip dysplasia screening in infants and young children, but there are significant differences among different inspection findings, even in the reexamination by the same examiner. Therefore, the accuracy of ultrasound imaging in the diagnosis is of insufficient evidence.
OBJECTIVE:Through virtual reality three-dimensional reconstruction images showing the structure of acetabulum and femoral head space, to obtain a new parameter in order to enrich measurement standards of Graf ultrasonic diagnosis technology and to further improve the credibility of the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip.
METHODS:Ten fresh cadaver specimens of Chinese infants were selected, including five males and five females. Two-dimensional ultrasonic method was employed for hip screening, and at the same time, multi-slice spiral CT was used for three-dimensional reconstruction fol owed by volume reconstruction and fitting of surface reconstruction to display the anatomic structure around the hip and to simulate Graf’s two-dimensional ultrasound method to measure a andβangles on three-dimensional virtual reality images.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:As confirmed by three-dimensional reconstruction, Graf’s two-dimensional ultrasound could be used to measure a and angles, truly reflecting the development of bony and cartilaginous acetabulum. Graf’s two-dimensional ultrasound contributed to the proper evaluation of beonatal hip dysplasia, which can be used as a routine examination for developmental dysplasia of the hip. These indicate that to master Graf’s ultrasound technology and strictly grasp the evaluation standards for developmental dysplasia of the hip is the important guarantee for diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive point Dazhui(GV14) moxibustion in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. Method Ninety-six patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy were randomly allocated to a heat-sensitive point Dazhui moxibustion (observation) group of 30 cases, a non-heat-sensitive point Dazhui suspended moxibustion (control) group of 33 cases and a medication group of 33 cases. The observation group received heat-sensitive point Dazhui moxibustion; the control group, non-heat-sensitive point Dazhui suspended moxibustion; the medication group, oral administration of Jingtong granules. The clinical symptoms were assessed and serum hypersensitive C-reactive protein (HsCRP) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) were measured in the three groups before and after 15 days of treatment. Result All the three treatments had a certain effect on cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. The therapeutic effect was best in the observation group (P<0.05). After treatment, serum HsCRP and IL-8 contents decreased in all the three groups compared with before (P<0.05). They were even lower in the observation group than in the control and medication groups (P<0.05) but had no statistically significant differences between the control and medication groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of heat-sensitive point Dazhui moxibustion is better than those of non-heat-sensitive point Dazhui suspended moxibustion and oral Jingtong granules. It is a more ideal way to treat cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. The mechanism of its action may be related to post-treatment decrease in inflammatory factors in the lesion.

Objective To explore the safe bone channels for transverse placement of sacroiliac screws via the second sacral vertebra in the fixation of longitudinal fracture of the sacrum by digital analysis and clinical observation.Methods Firstly,abdomen CT scanning was performed in 50 healthy adult volunteers.They were 30 males and 20 females,aged from 18 to 56 years (mean,34.6 years).After their CT images were transformed by software Materialise Mimics Innovation Suite 15.0,three-dimensional (3D) models of the pelvis were generated,stored in stereolithography format,and transferred into software Imageware 12.0.In the standard antero-posterior position,the sacrum was segmented and the points of 2D image coordinate geometric boundary were extracted to generate an optimal channel for transverse placement of sacroiliac screws via the second sacral vertebra.Secondly,we admitted 10 patients with longitudinal fracture of the sacrum.They were 7 men and 3 women,aged from 20 to 51 years (average,38.3 years).By Tile classification,4 cases were type B2 and 6 type C1.All the fractures were Denis region Ⅱ ones.Pubic ramus fracture was complicated in 3 cases.After traction reduction of the tibial tubercle was conducted for patients with obvious displacement,the optimal channel was calculated on the basis of the CT data.On the lateral images of the sacrum acquired before operation by C-arm fluoroscopy,the optimal channel for transverse placement of sacroiliac screws via the second sacral vertebra was located.After the skin was marked,2.5 mm Kirschner wire was drilled and the 6.0 mm hollow screws were fixated along the Kirschner wire.Postoperative CT scanning images and 3D reconstructed models were analyzed to validate the accuracy of screw placement.Results The projection of safety bone channel on the sagittal fluoroscopy of S2 vertebral body displayed an irregular water drop shape;the projection area in males (213.9 ± 52.4 mm2) was significantly larger than that in the females (171.6 ±49.6 mm2) (P ＜ 0.05).The average length of the channel in men (135.2 ± 12.9 mm) was significantly longer than that in women (121.1 ± 10.1 mm);the average diameter of the screw in men (10.2 ± 0.9 mm) was also significantly larger than that in women (9.1 ±0.8 mm) (P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative X-ray and CT scanning images showed satisfactory positions and lengths of the screws.The screw lengths averaged 98.2 mm;the operation time averaged 25.6 min.No nerve or vascular injury,loosening or breakage of the sacroiliac screws occurred in the patients.Follow-ups for 12 to 24 months revealed no other complications.Conclusion The safety channel for transverse placement of sacroiliac screws via the second sacral vertebra can be determined using the lateral 3D reconstruction images of the sacrum in preoperative planning,which facilitates the percutaneous transverse fixation of longitudinal fracture of the sacrum.
