BACKGROUND:Common therapies for damage to the central tendon of finger extensor tendon include Matev, Carrol, Fowler methods as wel as residual central tendon flipping repair, but the therapeutic effects are no satisfied with bloated appearance, tendon adhesions, limited joint function. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effects of dorsal longitudinal driling and segmental tendon graft to repair old central tendon injury. METHODS:Eighty patients with old central tendon injury were randomized into treatment group and control group, with 40 cases in each group. In the treatment group, dorsal longitudinal driling and segmental tendon transplantation were given; while in the control group, Carrol, Matev, Fowler methods were chosen according to the individual conditions. Then, the therapeutic outcomes were compared between two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The excelent and good rate was 85% in the treatment group and 65% in the control group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). Results from Valpar Component Work Samples showed that the number of cases adapting to the original work was 30 cases (75%) in the treatment group and 16 (40%) in the control group, and there was also a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). The degree of proximal interphalangeal joint flexion was increased gradualy in the two groups at admission, at 15 days after hospitalization, at 1 day before discharge and at 4 months after discharge, and meanwhile, the degree of proximal interphalangeal joint dorsiflexion was reduced gradualy (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in the degree of proximal interphalangeal joint flexion and degree of proximal interphalangeal joint dorsiflexion between the two groups at 15 days after hospitalization, 1 day before discharge, and 4 months after discharge (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the dorsal longitudinal driling and segmental tendon graft for repair of old central tendon injury can play an effective role in the recovery of articular flexion and extension function.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of discriminant function analysis for pericolic infiltration in colorectal cancer on enhanced 64-slice spiral CT and to improve the diagnostic accuracy and specificity of pericolic infiltration. Methods Dynamic enhanced 64-slice spiral CT was performed in 49 colorectal cancer patients (49 masses in total) before surgery. One or two slices were selected for each mass, with a total of 96 slices. The 96 slices were classified into two groups (pericolic infiltration or nonpericolic infiltration group) according to pathological data. Discriminant analysis was performed on the CT values between the mass and the corresponding pericolic tissue 5 mm from the mass at different time points as follows; 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, and 75 s. The discriminant function was calculated, and the pericolic infiltration determined by discriminant function and CT morphology were compared with the pathological results. The CT values in pericolic and non-pericolic infiltration groups at different enhancement time points were assessed using analysis of variance. Results The mean CT values ranged from (43. 6 ±7. 8) HU to (52. 3 ±0. 8) HU in the pericolic infiltration group, and ranged from (100.4±20.3)HU to(116.2±21.4)HU in the non.perieolic infiltration group.At 20 s and 40 s,the mean CT vshle8 were(43.6±27.8)HU and(50.9±27.8)HU in the perleolic infiltration group, (102.0±16.9)HU and(116.2 ±21.4)HU in the non-perieolic infiltration group,respectively.The mean CT value in the pericolic infiltration group was significantly lower than that in the non-pericolic infiltration group at all contrast enhancement time points(F=6.278,P<0.01).A diseriminant function Was obtained as follows:D=-3.450+0.023Xl±0.017X2-0.00lX12-0.001X22+0.002X1×X2. Based on the CT morphology of colorectal cancer,69 slices were identified correctly and 27 slices were fulsely interpreted.the sensitivity.speeificity and accuracy for perieolic infiltration determination were 82.5%,64.3%and 71.9%.respectively.Based on diseriminant function,85 slices were identified correctly and 11 slices were falsely interpreted.the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were 85.0%.91.1%and 88.5%,respectively.Conclusion The discriminant function with dynamic enhanced 64-slice spiral CT can improve the diagnostic accuracy and specificity of perieolic infiltration in eolorectal cancer patients.

Objective To synthesize the hydrophobic supraparamagnetic ironic oxide(SPIO) loaded and hydrophilic SPIO loaded polymeric nano-vesicles and to investigate the feasibility of using hydrophobic SPIO loaded and hydrophilic SPIO loaded polymeric nano-vesicles to display the tumor in MRI in vivo through animal experiments. Methods The polymeric nano-vesicles were prepared from poly (D, L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) by a multiple emulsion/solvent evaporation method.The hydrophobic SPIO and hydrophilic SPIO were loaded in the polymeric nano-vesicles respectively.Eighteen nude mice models with human colorectal carcinoma xenograft were established. They were divided equally into three groups (n = 6). The three groups of nude mice models were injected with water-soluble SPIO, hydrophobic SPIO loaded and hydrophilic SPIO loaded vesicle via the mice caudal vein respectively.Dynamic MRI scan were performed in all the mice models. T2WI signal intensity and T2 relaxation time were measured in the tumor, liver and muscle by using T2 mapping software. ANOVA of repeated measurement was used to analyze if there were significant differences of signal intensity changes among the three groups, while Bonferroni method was used for pair-wise comparison. Results On T2 WI, tumors showed decrease in signal intensity after hydrophobic or hydrophilic SPIO loaded polymeric nano-vesicle injection, while no signal intensity decrease was found in the tumor after water-soluble SPIO administration. The maximum percentage of signal intensity decrease in tumor caused by hydrophobic SPIO loaded and hydrophilic SPIO loaded vesicle were 11.00%, 11.40%, respectively. There was statistical significant difference of signal intensity changes among these three groups (F = 10. 96, P ＜ 0. 01). The decrease in signal intensity in the groups with hydrophilic or hydrophobic SPIO loaded polymeric nano-vesicles injection were more pronounced as compared with that of water-soluble SPIO (P ＜ 0. 05), but there was no significant difference in signal intensity decrease between the groups of hydrophilic and hydrophobic SPIO-loaded polymeric vesicles injection (P ＞0. 05). The three agents could lead to signal intensity decrease in the liver. The maximum percentage of signal intensity decrease in liver caused by water-soluble SPIO, hydrophobic SPIO loaded and hydrophilic SPIO loaded vesicle were 32. 85%, 52. 77%, 56. 89%, respectively. There was statistical significant difference between these groups (F = 161.18, P ＜ 0. 01) . The groups of injecting hydrophilic and hydrophobic SPIO loaded polymeric nano-vesicles had the more obvious signal decrease than the one with water-soluble SPIO (P ＜ 0. 01). Hydrophilic SPIO loaded polymeric nano-vesicles exhibited more signal intensity decrease than hydrophobic SPIO loaded polymeric nano-vesicles (P ＜ 0. 01). All three agents could not lead to T2WI signal decrease in the muscle, and there was no significant difference in signal change on T2 WI among three groups (F = 0. 59, P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusion SPIO loaded polymeric nano-vesicles can cause significant T2WI signal loss in human colonic carcinoma on MR imaging in vivo. It can be used as tumor imaging contrast agents.

BACKGROUND:Many experiments and clinical studies have reported that venous blood, absorbable colagen sponge and rich fibrin clot, without the use of bone graft material, can al promote new bone formation; therefore, whether only transplanting concentrated growth factor in the maxilary sinus lift could effectively promote bone regeneration? OBJECTIVE: To conduct the maxilary sinus lift with concentrated growth factor as the graft material, and to observe the peri-implant bone level change. METHODS: Totaly 26 patients were involved, including 14 males and 12 females, aged 35-73 years. Maxilary sinus lift was conducted and autologous concentrated growth factor was taken as the graft material. Astra Tech implants were implanted simultaneously. Patients were divided into 6-12 months, 13-18 months and > 18 months groups according to the folow-up time. Patients were divided into≤ 5 mm, 5-7 mm, and≥ 7 mm groups according to the preoperative alveolar bone height. Patients were divided into≤ 2 mm, 2.0-3.0 mm, and≥3 mm groups according to the postoperative maxilary sinus lift height. The survival rate of implants and marginal bone level changes were observed during the folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totaly 44 implants were implanted, of which 43 implants were considered as successful repair during the 6-18 months of postoperative folow-up. The survival rate of implants was 98%. There were no significant differences in the changes of mesial, distal and middle marginal bone levels between different folow-up time groups. The maxilary sinus lift with transplantation of concentrated growth factor resulted in a good osseointegration within 6-18 months post-operation. In addition, no significant differences were found in the changes of mesial, distal and middle marginal bone levels between different residual alveolar bone height groups, as wel as between different maxilary sinus lift height groups. It showed that the residual alveolar bone height and maxilary sinus lifting height had no significant effect on the peri-implant bone formation. Briefly, these findings demonstrate that the maxilary sinus lift with concentrated growth factor transplantation can result in a high survival rate of implants that are simultaneous implanted, and the alveolar bone around the implant is stable. But the long-term effect needs further observation.

Purpose To summarize the characteristics of computed tomography enteroclysis (CTE) in active ulcerative colitis (UC), and to explore the value of multi-slice CTE in the evaluation of UC. Materials and Methods Thirty-five patients with active UC confirmed by clinical manifestation, colonoscopy and pathology underwent CTE examination in the study. According to the modiifed Mayo-score, the patients were divided into mild group, moderate group and severe group, and the CTE manifestations were compared among the three groups. Results Among 35 patients, 6 patients were in the mild group, 13 in the moderate group, and 16 in the severe group. Submucosal bubbles had signiifcant differences between mild and moderate groups (P<0.05), bowel wall stratiifcation, disappearance of haustra and enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes were signiifcantly different between moderate and severe groups (P<0.05), and engorged vasa recta was significantly different between the 3 groups (P<0.05). However, bowel wall thickening, mural hyperenhencement, narrow lumen and fatty deposits around the rectum showed no difference between the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Multi-slice CTE can provide image features of bowel wall, intestinal tube and structures outside intestine in the evaluation of UC, thus it is useful in the diagnosis of active UC as well as in its clinical grading.

[Objective]To explore the efficacy of T2* mapping for evaluating inflammatory activity in the patients with Crohn disease(CD).[Methods]A total of 98 CD patients underwent MR enterographywith T2*WI. T2* values were measured by put-ting regions of interest on the thickening bowel wall on T2*mapping. The activity of bowel segment was scored by magnetic resonance index of activity(MaRIA),to analyze the relationship between T2*values with CD activity.[Results]A total of 160 bowel segments were evaluated and includedinactive(MaRIA<7,n=26),mild(7≤MaRIA<11,n=23),and moderately-severe(MaRIA≥11, n = 111)active lesions. The differences in T2* values amongthese three groups were significant(all P < 0.05). T2* values of 160 bowel segments correlatedclosely withMaRIA(r=0.743,P<0.05). High accuracy of T2*values was shown for differentiating inac-tive from active CD(AUC=0.877)anddifferentiating inactive-mild from moderate-severe CD(AUC=0.848). The threshold T2*value of 20 ms allowed differentiation of mild from moderate-severe CD with74.5%sensitivity and 84%specificity.[Conclusions]T2*values, as thequantitative indexof T2*mapping,correlate well with CD activity and showsatisfiedefficacy for diagnosing inflammatoryactivity.

[Objective] To analyze the image findings of MR enterography (MRE) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in Crohn disease (CD) and to discuss the diagnostic value of MRI for evaluating the activity of CD.[Methods] 26 patients proved by clinical,imaging and pathological data were enrolled in this study.The intra-/extra-intestinal image features of CD were retrospectively analyzed,and the intestinal lesions were evaluated by MRE+DWI scoring system.The differences in image features of active and inactive CD were compared.[Results] 26 bowel segments were evaluated and included active (n =20) and inactive CD (n =6).The intestinal performance of CD included wall thickening,T2WI hyperintensity and hyperenhancement.The pathological changes of active CD were more serious when comparing with that of inactive CD.DWI showed hyperintensity in the affected bowel wall.ADC of active C D [(0.9 ± 0.2) × 10-3 mm2/s] was significantly lower than that of inactive CD [(1.5 ± 0.4)× 10-3 mm2/s] (P ＜ 0.001).Extra-enteric performance of active CD included comb sign,lymphadenectasis of mesentery,mesenteric exudation,fistula and abdominal abscess.[Conclusion] MRE combined with DWI can accurately assess CD activity and diagnose extra-enteric complications.
