Objective:To explore the risk factors for different severities of epiphyseal injury caused by distal tibial fractures in adolescents.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 195 children with distal tibial fractures accompanied by epiphyseal injuries who were admitted to the Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2018 to December 2023. Among them, there were 132 males and 63 females; the age was 11.7±2.1 years (range, 5-15 years). Among them, 91 cases were on the left side and 104 cases were on the right side. Salter-Harris classification of epiphyseal injuries: there were 42 cases of type I, 90 cases of type II, 34 cases of type III, 26 cases of type IV, and 3 cases of type V. Causes of injury: 37 cases were sports injuries, 29 cases were traffic accident injuries, 120 cases were fall injuries, and 9 cases were fall from height injuries. Dias-Tachdjian classification of injury mechanisms: there were 65 cases of supination-adduction type, 59 cases of supination-plantar flexion type, 35 cases of supination-external rotation type, and 36 cases of pronation-abduction-external rotation type. Among them, 72 cases were complicated with fibular fractures, and 56 cases were accompanied by periosteum incarceration. The age, gender, side of injury, body mass index, cause of injury, presence or absence of fibular fracture, and injury mechanism of children with each type of Salter-Harris injury were compared. The indicators with statistically significant differences were included in the multiple logistic regression analysis to determine the independent risk factors for each type of Salter-Harris injury.Results:The ages of patients with type I-IV were 10.70±2.77, 12.18±1.70, 11.32±2.08, 12.35±1.19, and 11.67±2.08 years old respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=4.794, P=0.001). The body mass indexes were 11.90±3.84, 21.30±4.48, 21.41±4.08, 22.42±3.74, and 24.32±4.82 kg/m 2 respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=1.914, P=0.009). The numbers of cases of sports injuries/traffic accident injuries/fall injuries/fall-from-height injuries were 6/7/23/6, 17/12/59/2, 6/5/22/1, 7/4/15/0, and 1/1/1/0 respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.032). The numbers of cases of supination-adduction/pronation-abduction-external rotation/supination-plantar flexion/supination-external rotation were 21/6/9/6, 21/16/37/16, 19/6/8/1, 4/7/4/11, and 0/1/1/1 respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.001). The numbers of cases of periosteum incarceration (none/yes) were 32/10, 54/36, 27/7, 25/1, and 1/2 respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=17.156, P=0.002). There was no statistically significant difference in gender, side of injury, and presence or absence of fibular fracture among patients with each type of epiphyseal injury ( P>0.05). Age, body mass index, cause of injury, injury mechanism, and periosteum incarceration were included in the multiple logistic regression analysis. The results showed that age [ OR=1.337, 95% CI (1.097, 1.628), P=0.004], the supination varus type of the injury mechanism [ OR=0.257, 95% CI (0.075, 1.013), P=0.015] in the Salter-Harris type II, and the supination plantar flexion type of the injury mechanism [ OR=0.154, 95% CI (0.027, 0.872), P=0.034] in the Salter-Harris type IV were independent risk factors for the severity of epiphyseal injury caused by distal tibial fractures in adolescents. Conclusion:The severity of distal tibial fractures accompanied by epiphyseal injuries in adolescents is related to multiple factors such as age, body mass index, cause of injury, injury mechanism, and periosteum incarceration. For every one-year increase in age, the risk of epiphyseal injury in children with Salter-Harris type II is 1.337 times higher than that in those with type I. The type I epiphyseal injury caused by supination varus injury is 3.891 times that of type II injury, and the type I epiphyseal injury caused by supination plantar flexion injury is 6.493 times that of type IV injury.

ObjectiveTo explore the activation of motor cortex and brain lateralization of healthy male subjects during mirror visual feedback (MVF) of dominant and non-dominant hands. MethodsFrom March to September, 2021, 17 right-handed male subjects were recruited in Shenyang Sport University. The eegoTMmylab electroencephalography (EEG) system was applied to acquire the EEG and surface electromyography (sEMG) signals of digital extensor muscle during MVF. The subjects were completed unilateral finger stretching exercise, including left/right hand MVF and left/right hand visual feedback (VF). Each paradigm was repeated 80 trials, and the four paradigms were divided into two experiments, with one week between each experiment. The time-domain characteristics of sEMG signals and the time-frequency characteristics of α-band (8 to 13 Hz) and β-band (13 to 20 Hz) EEG signals which were closely related to motion were analyzed. Activation and asymmetry of motor cortex during MVF in dominant and nondominant hands were measured with event-related desynchronization/synchronization (ERD/ERS) and asymmetric index (AI). ResultsWhen the relaxed hand was right hand, the sEMG amplitude of digital extensor muscle were more in MVF and VF than in resting state (P < 0.05). In α bands, the main effect of training state on ERD/ERS was significant (F = 14.125, ηp2

Objective:To explore the clinical prognoses of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large core infarction after endovascular therapy (EVT) and their influencing factors.Methods:Totally, 139 AIS patients with large area core infarction (volume of infarction core area≥70 mm3) admitted to our hospital from November 2019 to December 2020 were enrolled in our study; their clinical data were analyz ed retrospectively. These patients were divided into EVT group ( n=78) and non-EVT group ( n=61) according to whether endovascular treatment was performed, and the clinical prognoses of patients from the 2 groups were compared. According to the 3-month modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores, the patients in the EVT group were divided into good prognosis subgroup (mRS scores≤2) and poor prognosis subgroup (mRS scores>2); univariate and multivariate Logistic regressions were used to analyze the independent influencing factors for prognoses of AIS patients with large area core infarction after EVT. Results:As compared with those in the non-EVT group, patients in the EVT group had significantly higher good prognosis rate (11.48% vs. 42.31%), and significantly lower proportion of patients with neurological deterioration, cerebral hernia and death ( P<0.05). As compared with the poor prognosis subgroup, the good prognosis subgroup had significantly lower percentage of patients with atrial fibrillation, significantly higher percentage of conscious patients, significantly higher Alberta stroke program early CT scale (ASPECT) scores, statistically lower volume of infarction core areas, and significantly higher percentage of patients with grading 2-4 in collateral circulation ( P<0.05). ASPECT scores ( OR=4.164, 95%CI: 2.081-8.332, P=0.000), volume of infarction core areas ( OR=0.917, 95%CI: 0.855-0.984, P=0.016), and collateral circulation grading ( OR=5.113, 95%CI: 1.104-23.683, P=0.037) were independent influencing factors for prognoses of AIS patients with large area core infarction after EVT. Conclusion:EVT can effectively improve the prognoses and reduce the complication rate of AIS patients with large area core infarction; patients with high ASPECT scores, low infarct core volume, and high collateral circulation grading get great benefits.

Objective: To study the microstructure development of mandibular bone in rats on timing sequence and under different occlusal force. Methods: 63 male SD rats aged 23 days were randomly divided into three groups (n = 7): Baseline group, soft-diet (SD) group and hard-diet (HD) group. 7 rats were killed at week 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 respectively after feeding the food with different hardness.Micro-CT was used to reconstruct and analysis microstructure of the region of interest in mandible of the rats. Results: Compared with HD group, bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) and trabecular thickness (Tb. Th) decreased significantly after 4 th week (P < 0. 05), the bone surface/bone volume (BS/BV) and trabecular separation (Tb. Sp) increased significantly during the 4 th to the 6 th week (P <0. 05) . Conclusion: In the process of mandibular development in rats, reduction of occlusal force may lead to reduction of bone mass, and the changes of microstructure are closely related to the time of intervention.
