Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

Objective:To explore the accuracy and clinical effect of computer navigation system in locating the tunnel position in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze clinical data of 60 patients with ACL rupture treated in Daping Hospital of Army Military Medical University from March 2017 to March 2018, including 44 males and 16 females, aged 15-48 years (mean, 26.3 years). Computer navigation system was used to locate the internal orifice of intra-articular femoral and tibial tunnel in 30 patients (navigation group), and artificial location of intra-articular femoral and tibial tunnel in 30 patients (control group). The operation time and complications of two groups were recorded after operation. The tunnel position was evaluated by CT three-dimensional reconstruction, and the ratio of the tunnel position on the lateral surface of the femoral condyle to the tibial platform was evaluated by the grid method. The proportion sites from the deep posterior edge of lateral intercondylar surface of the femur to the shallow anterior edge (DS) and from the upper edge to the lower edge (HL) were used to represent the position of the femoral tunnel, and the proportion sites of the line connecting the anterior and posterior edge of the tibial plateau were used to represent the tibial tunnel position. The postoperative tunnel position was compared between the two groups. The knee joint stability (Lachman test, pivot shift test) and knee joint function score (Lysholm score, Tegner score) were compared between the two groups before operation and 12 months after operation.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-24 months (mean, 15 months). The operation time was (56.1±8.1)minutes in control group versus (76.0±6.7)minutes in navigation group ( P<0.05). In navigation group, 2 patients had skin edge necrosis at the place where the navigation needle was installed. The proportion of DS in femoral tunnel was (27.2±3.7)% in navigation group versus (33.9±4.4)% in control group ( P<0.05). HL proportion site was (36.6±4.8)% in navigation group versus (38.9±4.9)% in control group ( P<0.05). Proportion of the tibial tunnel at the anterior and posterior edge of the tibial plateau was (44.9±1.8)% in navigation group and (44.7±3.0)% in control group ( P>0.05). Both groups showed significant improvements in Lysholm score, Tegner score, Lachman test and pivot shift test 12 months after operation compared to the preoperative levels ( P<0.05), but the knee joint function score and knee joint stability score had no significant difference between the two groups 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusions:No significant differences are found between computer navigated and manually navigated ACL reconstruction with regards to knee joint stability, knee joint function, and tibial tunnel localization. However, computer assisted navigation enables the location of the lateral femoral tunnel closer to the anatomical position.

Objective To analyze and summarize the clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of testicular epidermoid cyst pa-tients.Methods Combined with literature,the clinical data of 7 patients with testicular epidermoid cyst in our hospital from July 2005 to Au-gust 2015 were analyzed.Results Histological examination showed testicular epidermoid cyst,postoperative recovery was good,no recurrence during 12 to 36 months’follow-up.Conclusion The testicular epidermoid cyst is rare in clinic,the clinical manifestations is similar to tes-ticular cancer,so it is often misdiagnosed as testicular cancer,which should be diagnosed by pathology,treated by testis preserved testicular tumor resection,and the prognosis is good.

Objective To compare the safety and clinical effect of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy ( LPN) on small renal cell carcino-ma. Methods The records of 65 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy in our hospital from March 2008 to March 2013 were retrospec-tively analyzed. 35 patients were given open partial nephrectomy and the other 30 patients were given LPN. Compared the operative time,blood loss,warm ischemia time,length of stay,positive marginrate,and occurance rate of complications between the two groups. Results There was no statistical difference in the mean size of tumor in the two groups. Compared to the OPN group,there was less blood loss,operative time, hospital stays and warm ischemia time in the LPN group. There was neither positive surgical margin nor renal function damage in the two groups. And during the follow-up period ranged from 6 to 18 months,there was no local recurrence. Conclusion Laparoscopic partial ne-phrectomy has a shorter operation time,less blood loss,shorter length of hospital stay compared with open partial nephrectomy,and it wouldn 't extend the time of warm ischemia,while the clinical effect of the two methods are similar.
