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 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.

Objective To assess the performance of pediatric clinical illness score (PCIS), pediatric risk of mortality scoreⅢ(PRISMⅢ), pediatric logistic organ dysfunction score 2 (PELOD-2), and pediatric multiple organ dysfunction score (P-MODS) in predicting mortality in critically ill pediatric patients. Methods The data of critically ill pediatric patients admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from August 2012 to May 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The gender, age, basic diseases, the length of PICU stay were collected. The children were divided into survival group and non-survival group according to the clinical outcome during hospitalization. The variables of PCIS, PRISMⅢ, PELOD-2, and P-MODS were collected and scored. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted, the efficiency of PCIS, PRISMⅢ, PELOD-2, and P-MODS for predicting death were evaluated by the area under ROC curve (AUC). Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to evaluate the fitting degree of each scoring system to predict the mortality and the actual mortality. Results Of 461 critically ill children, 35 children were excluded because of serious data loss, hospital stay not exceeding 24 hours, and death within 8 hours after admission. Finally, a total of 426 pediatric patients were enrolled in this study. 355 pediatric patients were survived, while 71 were not survived during hospitalization, with the mortality of 16.7%. There was no significant difference in gender, age, underlying diseases or length of PICU stay between the two groups. PCIS score in non-survival group was significantly lower than that of survival group [80 (76, 88) vs. 86 (80, 92)], and PRISMⅢ, PELOD-2 and P-MODS scores were significantly increased [PRISMⅢ: 16 (13, 22) vs. 12 (10, 15), PELOD-2: 6 (5, 9) vs. 4 (2, 5), P-MODS: 6 (4, 9) vs. 3 (2, 6), all P < 0.01]. ROC curve analysis showed that the AUCs of PCIS, PRISMⅢ, PELOD-2, and P-MODS for predicting death of critical ill children were 0.649, 0.731, 0.773, and 0.747, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that PCIS predicted the mortality and the actual mortality in the best fitting effect (χ2= 7.573, P = 0.476), followed by PELOD-2 and P-MODS (χ12 = 9.551, P1= 0.145; χ22 = 10.343, P2= 0.111), while PRISMⅢ had poor fitting effect (χ2= 43.549, P < 0.001). Conclusions PRISMⅢ, PELOD-2 and P-MODS can discriminate between survivors and moribund patients well, and assessing the condition of critically ill pediatric patients with relatively accuracy. PCIS was the best fitting effect in predicting mortality and actual mortality, followed by PELOD-2 and P-MODS, while PRISMⅢ had poor fitting effect.
