2.Advances in knee joint imaging in the prediction of growth potential in adolescent children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2024;51(11):763-766
The prediction of growth potential in adolescent children is of great significance in the pediatric endocrinology and sports medicine.Most of the existing height prediction methods are based on the left hand and wrist bone age,however,when the hand epiphyseal is completely closed,the child's height is still increasing,and the knee epiphyseal complete closure time is consistent with the height stop time. In terms of predicting the growth potential of adolescent children,the knee joint seemed to be more valuable than the left hand. Related studies on growth potential prediction based on knee X-ray or MRI have gradually shifted from qualitative assessment of bone closure classification to quantitative parameter calculation. Although most of the existing studies are limited to the scientific research,the emergence of knee joint imaging assessment indicators has laid a foundation for clinical application. This paper reviews the influence of knee development on the height gain of adolescent children,and the research progress of knee joint X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging in predicting the height potential of adolescent children.

Objective:To observed and analyze the clinical features of patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) causes of misdiagnosis.Methods:A retrospective case study. From November 2014 to July 2022, 49 NAION patients with 49 eyes diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology, The First People’s Hospital of Lanzhou were included in the study. All patients were misdiagnosed with other eye diseases at first diagnosis. All eyes were examined by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), relative afferent pupil defect (RAPD), orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), visual field, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and graphic visual evoked potential (P-VEP). Fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) was performed in 32 eyes. Clinical and MRI, visual field, P-VEP、FFA features of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 31 males and 18 females among the 49 patients. All cases were monocular. Age was (59.3±7.8) years. All of them complained of painless visual acuity loss or occlusion sensation in one eye. There were 12 (24.5%, 12/49) and 37 (75.6%, 37/49) cases with disease duration >2 months and ≤2 months, respectively. In 49 eyes, misdiagnosed as optic neuritis, normal tension glaucoma (NTG) or suspected glaucoma, optic disc vasculitis, cataract, diabetic retinopathy, traumatic optic neuropathy and toxic optic neuropathy were 28 (57.1%, 28/49), 11 (22.4%, 11/49), 5 (10.2%, 5/49), 2 (4.1%, 2/49), 1 (2.0%, 1/49), 1 (2.0%, 1/49), 1 (2.0%, 1/49) eyes. 24 (49.0%, 24/49), 16 (32.7%, 16/49) and 9 (18.4%, 9/49) eyes had BCVA<0.1, 0.1-0.5 and> 0.5, respectively. RAPD was positive in 45 eyes (91.8%, 45/49). There were 37 (75.6%, 37/49) and 12 (24.5%, 12/49) eyes with and without optic disc edema, respectively. Bleeding was observed on and around the optic disc in 15 eyes (30.6%, 15/49). MRI examination showed no obvious abnormality in the optic nerve segments of all affected eyes. OCT showed an increase in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (307.1±62.1) μm in 37 patients with optic disc edema. The visual field examination showed that 24 eyes (49.0%, 24/49) had typical lower visual field defect connected with the physiological blind spot and circumvented the central fixation point, 6 eyes (12.2%, 6/49) had limited visual field defect connected with the physiological blind spot, and 19 eyes (38.8%, 19/49) had diffuse visual field defect. By P-VEP examination, the amplitude of P100 wave decreased moderately to severely in all affected eyes. There were 24 eyes (49.0%, 24/49) with mild peak delay and 11 eyes (22.4%, 11/49) with moderate peak delay. In 32 eyes examined by FFA, the arteries had early peridisk limitation or diffuse delayed filling, and mid-course fluorescein leakage in the corresponding area.Conclusions:The main symptoms of NAION patients are painless visual acuity loss in one eye or occlusion of vision. The main clinical features of NAION patients are visual field defect, retinal nerve fiber layer thickening and visual electrophysiological abnormalities. NAION patients with acute or subacute visual loss accompanied by optic disc edema and/or bleeding are often misdiagnosed as optic neuritis, optic neurovasculitis and other types of optic neuropathy. NAION patients with a disease course of >2 months are easily misdiagnosed as NTG.

Objective To investigate the infection of human parvovirus B19 in Suzhou voluntary blood donors under the current blood screening model. Methods A total of 893 blood donor samples from September to December 2022 were randomly collected. Samples were tested to determine the seroprevalence (anti-B19 IgG and IgM) of B19 antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and B19 DNA of positive samples was further detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR) assay. Results Among 893 samples, the total seroprevalence of B19 antibody was 20.7% (185/893), with anti-B19 IgG and IgM positive rate at 19.4% (173/893) and 1.9% (17/893), respectively, showing significant difference (P<0.05). No difference in the positive rates of B19 IgG and IgM (20.1%, 1.5% vs 18.0%,2.6%) was noticed by gender(P>0.05). The prevalence of anti-B19 IgG statistically increased with age (P<0.05), while there was no difference in the prevalence of anti-B19 IgM (P>0.05). No statistical difference was not found in anti-B19 IgG and IgM samples among different blood groups. The anti-B19 IgG in repeated blood donors was higher than that in first-time donors(21.5% vs 15.9%)(P<0.05) while there was no difference in the positive rate of IgM antibodies (P>0.05). Three cases were found to be positive for B19 DNA in the B19 antibody positive samples, with the positive rate at 1.6%(3/185). Conclusion Although the prevalence of B19 infection in Suzhou was lower than that in other areas and was mostly past infection, there was still a certain proportion of persistent infection and acute infection, which posed the potential risk of blood transfusion transmission. Therefore, attention should be paid to blood transfusions, especially for the high-risk and susceptible groups.

Bone age is a quantitative representation of the skeletal development pattern.X-ray imaging of the wrist with the Greulich-Pyle method is commonly used to assess bone age in clinic.In adolescent children, the sensitivity and specificity of the the Greulich-Pyle method are not sufficient because the bones of the wrist are already mature.In contrast, epiphyseal morphological changes in the knee joint throughout adolescence can provide information for the assessment of bone age in adolescent children, and the feasibility of knee joint bone age assessment has been verified.With the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the medical field, the accuracy of AI interpretation of bone age is also recognized.One of the important uses of bone age assessment in adolescent children is to predict the remaining growth potential.Based on knee images, exploring the use of AI to build a model for predicting residual growth potential is a more meaningful research direction for clinical purposes.This paper reviews the anatomical characteristics of the knee joint, the application of knee joint imaging and the research progress of AI in bone age assessment.

Objective:To develop a suitable scale for assessing the public health safety literacy in residents in China.Methods:The initial scale of Chinese public health safety literacy was developed through theoretical conceptualization, item pooling, field verifying and item inclusion and exclusion. Then the initial scale was converted into an electronic questionnaire. A total of 2 809 residents from 4 provinces were randomly selected for field testing. Classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) were used for item reduction. SPSS 23.0 was used for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and unidimensional testing. Package R 4.1.1 ltm and mirt were used for the analysis of the psychometric properties of items and generate the ICC, IIC and TIF.Results:The initial scale had 30 items (B1-B30), and the test took 9.8 s to complete one item averagely. According to the CTT, B2 was deleted due to coefficient of total correlation (CITC) <0.3 and the item-dimension correlation coefficient (IDCC) <0.4. B23 was deleted due to CITC<0.3, IDCC<0.4 and difficulty index ( W) <0.2. B30 was deleted due to CITC<0.3 and W<0.2. The total Cronbach's α of the scale was 0.923 after deletion. EFA indicated that 14 items should be deleted due to lower factor loadings <0.7. EFA was conducted for remaining 13 items and 2 common factors were extracted, the factor loadings of all items were >0.7, the accumulated variance contribution of the 2 common factors was 63.361%, and the total Cronbach's α was 0.891, showing unidimensionality, IRT was used to test the remaining items. B14 and B20 were deleted due to discrimination coefficient ( a) <0.3, difficulty threshold coefficient ( b) ?[-3,3], the small amount of information and the flat, crowded, non-monotonic ICC, and IIC. Finally, the Cronbach's α of the 11-itemed scale was 0.936 with TLI=0.97, CFI=0.99, and RMSEA =0.03. Conclusion:The final scale has good reliability, validity, discrimination, difficulty level and feasibility, and can be applied for the rapid assessment of public health safety literacy in China.

Objective:To translate the English version and cross-cultural adaptation of Readiness for Return-To-Work Scale (RRTW) into Chinese and tested the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of RRTW in young and middle-aged stroke patients.Methods:RRTW was translated into Chinese with standard translation-retroversion. From August to December 2020, 235 stroke patients in the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University were recruited by convenient sampling. The scale was tested by the reliability and validity.Results:The Chinese version of RRTW for stroke was composed of two parts: The first part was divided into four dimensions, with a total of 13 entries; For the unworked stroke population, the second part was divided into two dimensions, with a total of nine entries for the reworked stroke population. The content validity index (CVI) for each item was from 0.875 to 1.000. The total CVI for all items was 0.994. The Pearson correlation coefficient between dimension and scale was from 0.523 to 0.876. Four common factors were obtained from the first part and the cumulative contribution rate was 62.563%. Two common factors were obtained from the second part and the cumulative contribution rate was 49.908%. The Cronbach α coefficient in the first part was 0.760 and in the second part was 0.693.Conclusions:The Chinese version of RRTW for stroke patients has good reliability and validity, which can be used to assess the readiness level of stroke patients to return to work in Chinese society.
