Objective To compare the size discrepancy between ultrasonic and pathological measurement of solitary cN0M0 papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTMC),and to explore their correlation with lymph node metastasis.Methods From April 2021 to January 2022,234 patients with solitary cN0M0 PTMC who received thyroid lobectomy or total thyroidectomy in the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine,Affiliated Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine were analyzed retrospectively.The size discrepancy between ultrasonic and pathological measurement were compared,and the risk factors of central lymph node metastasis were analyzed.Results The mean of maximum diameter of PTMC measured by ultrasound was 6.8(range 5.6 to 8.4)mm,which was significantly bigger than that measured by pathology 5.0(range 4.0 to 7.0)mm(P=0.000).Of them,37.2%of the tumor size measured by ultrasound is consistent with pathology,61.1%of the tumor size measured by ultrasound is bigger than that measured by pathology,and only 1.7%of the tumor size measured by ultrasound is smaller than that measured by pathology.There was a linear correlation between the diameter measured by ultrasound and pathology.And the regression equation can be expressed as:pathological diameter=0.799×ultrasonic diameter-0.221.In addition,28.6%patients had central lymph node metastasis.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the diameter measured by pathology is a risk factor for central lymph node metastasis in patients(OR=17.845,95%CI:2.507-127.025,P=0.004),and the cutoff value is 5.5 mm which corresponded to the diameter measured by ultrasound as 7.2 mm.Conclusions The sizes of solitary cN0M0 PTMC measured by ultrasound and pathology are different but also correlated.PMTC with pathological diameter>5.5 mm with its corresponding ultrasonic diameter as 7.2 mm indicated an increased risk of central lymph node metastasis.

Objective:To investigate the med- to long-term clinical outcomes of open reduction and cannulated screw fixation via the modified Smith-Petersen approach for irreducible femoral neck fractures in young adults.Methods:The clinical data of 16 young adults were retrospectively studied who had been treated for irreducible femoral neck fractures by open reduction and cannulated screw fixation via the modified Smith-Petersen approach by the same surgeon from December 2009 to February 2015 at Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. There were 11 males and 5 females aged from 19 to 59 years (average, 42.9 years). All their fractures were closed Garden type Ⅳ, with high energy injury in 8 cases and low energy injury in the other 8 ones. The time from injury to surgery averaged 5.4 d (from 1 to 11 d). In all the patients, open reduction and cannulated screw fixation via the modified Smith-Petersen approach was conducted after ideal reduction had not been achieved by 3 continuous attempts in primary closed reduction in a traction bed. Recorded were the postoperative full weight-bearing time, return to work time, fracture union time, function of the affected hip and complications at the last follow-up in the patients.Results:The 16 patients were followed up for 6 to 12 years (average, 8.8 years). The postoperative full weight-bearing time averaged 12.7 weeks (from 2 to 16 weeks) in 16 patients; the return to work time averaged 15.0 weeks (from 3 to 20 weeks) and the fracture union time 3.5 months (from 3 to 6 months) in 15 patients while fracture nonunion happened in the other one. The HSS hip scores at the last follow-up averaged 90.3 points (from 62 to 98 points), yielding 12 excellent, 2 good, one fair and one poor cases. The one case with fracture nonunion underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA); of the 4 cases with avascular necrosis of the femoral head, 2 underwent THA; limited range of hip motion due to heterotopic ossification was noted in one case.Conclusion:Open reduction and cannulated screw fixation via the modified Smith-Petersen approach may lead to fine med- to long-term clinical outcomes in young adults whose femoral neck fracture cannot be reduced by closed reduction, because the modified Smith-Petersen approach allows fracture reduction under direct vision.

Objective:
To investigage the three-dimensional changes in condylar position after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) in skeletal class Ⅲpatients with mandibular deviation using cone-beam CT (CBCT).
Methods:
Twenty-five skeletal class Ⅲ patients with mandibular deviation were included. The patients (12 males and 13 females, aged 19-25 years, average age 22.4 years) were treated in the Department of Orthodontics, Affiliated Stomatological Hospital, Nanchang University from October 2013 to March 2017. The patients were divided into T1, T2 and T3 groups (T1 group: CBCT taken within 1 week before operation; T2 group: CBCT taken within 1 week after operation; T3 group: CBCT taken 6-8 months after surgery). Three sets of image data of condyles on both sides (deviation side and contralateral side) were obtained. After the DICOM data collection, the software of Mimics 17.0 was used to perform three-dimensional reconstruction and condylar position measurements: the distance from the condylar top (CoT) to the standard horizontal plane (SHP), the middle sagittal plane (MSP) and the sella coronal plane (SCP) (CoT-SHP, CoT-MSP, CoT-SCP); the distance from the condylar center (CoC) to SHP, MSP and SCP (CoC-SHP, CoC-MSP, CoC-SCP); the angle from the condyle cella plane (CCP) to SHP, MSP and SCP (CCP-SHP, CCP-MSP, CCP-SCP); the angle from the condyle sagittal plane (CSP) to SHP, MSP and SCP (CSP-SHP, CSP-MSP, CSP-SCP) and the distance of the anterior, superior, posterior, medial, central and lateral joint space.

To investigage the three?dimensional changes in condylar position after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) in skeletal classⅢpatients with mandibular deviation using cone?beam CT (CBCT). Methods Twenty?five skeletal class Ⅲ patients with mandibular deviation were included. The patients (12 males and 13 females, aged 19?25 years, average age 22.4 years) were treated in the Department of Orthodontics, Affiliated Stomatological Hospital, Nanchang University from October 2013 to March 2017. The patients were divided into T1, T2 and T3 groups (T1 group: CBCT taken within 1 week before operation; T2 group: CBCT taken within 1 week after operation; T3 group: CBCT taken 6?8 months after surgery). Three sets of image data of condyles on both sides (deviation side and contralateral side) were obtained. After the DICOM data collection, the software of Mimics 17.0 was used to perform three?dimensional reconstruction and condylar position measurements: the distance from the condylar top (CoT) to the standard horizontal plane (SHP), the middle sagittal plane (MSP) and the sella coronal plane (SCP) (CoT?SHP, CoT?MSP, CoT?SCP); the distance from the condylar center (CoC) to SHP, MSP and SCP (CoC?SHP, CoC?MSP, CoC?SCP); the angle from the condyle cella plane (CCP) to SHP, MSP and SCP (CCP?SHP, CCP?MSP, CCP?SCP); the angle from the condyle sagittal plane (CSP) to SHP, MSP and SCP (CSP?SHP, CSP?MSP, CSP?SCP) and the distance of the anterior, superior, posterior, medial, central and lateral joint space. One?way ANOVA and LSD-t test were used to compare the changes in condylar position at different periods (T1, T2, and T3). Results Within 1 week before operation on the deviation side, CoT?SHP [(2.5±1.3) mm], CSP?MSP (41.2°±8.4°) and the posterior joint space [(2.0±0.6) mm] were obviously increased (P<0.05), and CoT?SCP [(9.1±3.3) mm], CCP?MSP (78.2°±5.2°) were decreased significantly (P<0.05); on the contralateral side, CoT?MSP [(50.4±3.1) mm], CCP?MSP (80.6°±6.0°), the anterior joint space [(2.2±0.6) mm] and the medial joint space [(2.6±0.6) mm] were obviously increased (P<0.05), and CCP?SCP (11.4°±8.8°) were decreased significantly (P<0.05). Six to eight months after surgery, CoT?SHP [(2.2± 1.0) mm] and the posterior joint space [(1.9±0.5) mm] on deviation side and CoT?SCP [(8.4±2.8) mm] on the contralateral side were increased significantly (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in other measurements (P>0.05). Conclusions The condylar position in skeletal classⅢpatients with mandibular deviation was asymmetrical. Within 1 week after the operation of BSSRO, the condyle on the deviation side was moved forward, downward and inward. Meanwhile, the condyle on the contralateral side was moved backward and outward. Six to eight months after surgery, the condylar position on both sides was gradually restored to the pre?operative condylar position.

Schistosomiasis is one of the major infectious diseases that seriously endanger the health of people, and social and economic development. Before the year of 1949, Yujiang County of Jiangxi Province was one of hyper-endemic regions for schistosomiasis. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, under the leadership and high attention of the Chinese Communist Party and the government, after the arduous struggle with schistosomiasis, Yujiang County became the first county that reached the standard of eradication of schistosomiasis in 1958. Moreover, Chairman Mao Zedong gladly wrote the famous poem of "Farewell to the God of Plague". Since then, the work of schistosomiasis control has been greatly inspired by the poem. In 2016, Yujiang County became the first county of schistosomiasis elimination in Jiangxi Province. In this paper, the experience and process of eradication and elimination of schistosomiasis in Yujiang County are systematically reviewed and summarized by analyzing the endemic situation of schistosomiasis before and after the eradication and elimination in Yujiang County, to expound the significance and enlightenment of the schistosomiasis control in Yujiang County. This paper commemorates the 60th anniversary of the publication of Mao Zedong’s poem.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that neural stem cel transplantation combined with exercise training can promote the recovery of hindlimb motor function from spinal cord injury in rats, but its mechanism of action has not been fuly elucidated. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of early exercise training combined with neural stem cel transplantation on the recovery of hindlimb motor function in rats with spinal cord injury. METHODS:Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats with spinal cord injury were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n=20, given conventional treatment after injury), cel transplantation group (n=20, given neural stem cel transplantation after injury), experimental group, (n=20, given neural stem cel transplantation combined with early exercise training after injury). Recovery of the hindlimb motor function was assessed by Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scale and inclined plane test before and at 1, 7, 14, 21 days after injury. Western blot assay was used to detect caspase-3 and myeloperoxidase expression. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was done at 21 days after injury to observe the structure changes of the injured spinal cord. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Scores of Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scale and inclined plane test were significantly better in the experimental group than the cel transplantation group folowed by the control group (P < 0.05). (2) In the control group, the expression of caspase-3 and myeloperoxidase was significantly increased at 14 days after injury. In the cel transplantation, the expression of caspase-3 and myeloperoxidase was significantly higher than the experimental group (P < 0.05). (3) Pathological inflammation was reduced most in the experimental group folowed by the cel transplantation group. In the experimental group, the structure of injured spinal cord was improved and became relatively clear and intact. These findings indicate that neural stem cell transplantation combined with early exercise training can effectively promote the recovery of hindlimb motor function from spinal cord injury in rats, by reducing the expression of caspase-3 and myeloperoxidase and alleviating secondary lesion of the spinal cord.

Objective To classify tibial plateau fractures based on the analysis of the morphology and injury mechanisms of 200 cases of tibial plateau feature.Methods We collected the X-ray and CT images of 200 consecutive cases of tibial plateau fracture in i99 patients who had been treated at our department from January 2010 to April 2011.They were 134 males and 65 females,from 15 to 77 years of age (average,45.7 years).According to the Schatzker classification,9 cases were type Ⅰ (4.5%),105 type Ⅱ (52.5%),19type Ⅳ (9.5%),37type Ⅴ (18.5%),30type Ⅵ (15.0%),and none type m.The fracture morphology and injury mechanism of each case were analyzed to propose a new classification system.Results Fractures of tibial plateau can be classified into the following five types:(a) Lateral condylar fracture and valgus injury (100 cases,50%).The injury mechanism is the axial force on the valgus and extended knee joint.(b) Fracture-dislocation injury (24 cases,12.0%).This type includes typical Schatzker type Ⅳ,and some cases of Schatzker type Ⅵ associated with lateral subluxation.Its mechanism is a compound force of valgus,varus,rotational and axial stresses.The rotational force is the key factor leading to subluxation of the knee joint.(c) Double-condylar fracture (40 cases,20.0%).This type is caused by an axial force on the extended knee,including Schatzker type Ⅴ and some cases of Schatzker type Ⅵ not associated with knee subluxation.(d) Posterior condylar fracture and flexion injury (32 cases,16.0%).This type only involves the posterior condylar plateau,and is caused by an axial force on the flexed knee.Based on the morphology,posterior condylar fractures can be further divided into three subtypes:simple split of posteromedial condyle,simple collapse of posterolateral condyle,and a combination of the two.(e) Frontal plateau compression fracture and hyperextension injury (4 cases,2.0%).This type is caused by an axial force on the hyper-extended knee.It is characterized by significant compression of the anterior plateau and intact posterior plateau.Conclusion Based on the morphological features and injury mechanisms,tibial plateau fractures can be classified into 5 types:lateral condylar fracture,fracture-dislocation injury,double-condylar fracture,posterior condylar fracture,and frontal plateau compression fracture.
