Evaluating Diagnostic Performance of Three Cephalometric Vertical Parameters

Objectives: The goal of this research was to see how reliable and valid three selected parameters from different analysis were in detecting the vertical skeletal pattern. Methods: There were 94 cephalometric x?rays used in all. The vertical skeletal pattern was assessed using the mandibular plane angle by Steiner, Frankfort mandibular angle by Tweed, and facial axis angle by McNamara. According to the diagnostic results of the majority of the measures, the samples were classified as normo?divergent, hypodivergent, or hyperdivergent. Kappa statistics, positive predictive value, and sensitivity were employed to verify the validity and reliability of the analyses. Results: A statistically significant weak negative correlation was found between Frankfort mandibular angle and facial axis angle in female group (p value < 0.01). A good agreement was found between mandibular plane angle with final diagnosis (K = 0.726). The mandibular plane angle showed highest sensitivity and positive predictive value in hypodivergent group (0.939, 0.816) and normo?divergent group (0.795, 0.833), respectively. Conclusion: For determining the facial vertical growth pattern the most accurate indicators were identified to be mandibular plane angle (SN?GoGn) and Frankfort mandibular angle.

The objectification of ashi point diagnosis and treatment / 中国针灸

Ashi points play a significant role in the clinical localization and qualitative diagnosis of acupuncture, as well as in selecting acupoints along the meridians and applying tonifying or reducing techniques. This paper introduces the theoretical basis and existing technical methods of objectification of ashi point diagnosis and treatment. It proposes that using sensory quantitative testing to determine the temperature and tenderness thresholds of ashi points could help to identify the pathological characteristics of "cold" "heat" "deficiency" or "excess" of ashi points. In addition, the possibility of objectification of ashi point diagnosis-treatment plan is explored from three perspectives, precision of selection of ashi point therapy, objectification of effect evaluation of ashi point analgesia, and differentiation of the studies on ashi point analgesic mechanism, aiming to provide new research ideas for the modernization of traditional Chinese acupuncture.

Introducción: el apoyo al automanejo, la participación y retroalimentación son centrales en la implementación de una atención centrada en el usuario en el marco del modelo de cuidados crónicos. Esto ha demostrado mejorar diversos resultados sanitarios. Objetivo: estimar el grado de participación de los pacientes hipertensos y diabéticos, en las decisiones sobre su plan de tratamiento en población adulta chilena. Métodos: análisis secundario de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud (ENS) 2016-2017, muestra aleatoria estratificada de hogares, multietápica por conglomerados, representativa de la población adulta chilena. Se incluyó población mayor de 15 años hipertensa o diabética bajo tratamiento. Se describen las prevalencias expandidas de la variable percepción de participación en la toma de decisio-nes sobre plan terapéutico en escala Likert de 5 niveles, según edad, sexo, zona urbana/rural y nivel educacional. Se utilizó regresión logística y OR ajustados. Resultados: el 72,3% de los diabéticos y el 71,9% de los hipertensos, refieren "nunca" haber sido consultados al preparar su plan de tratamiento. En la población hipertensa, existe una percepción de participación significativamente más baja en mujeres que en hombres (OR ajustado por edad = 0,5 (IC 95% de 0,3-0,8) no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas según edad, ruralidad ni nivel educacional. Conclusiones: la población hipertensa y diabética percibe bajos niveles de participación en el diseño de su plan terapéutico y los resultados sugieren inequidad de género en hipertensos. Este estudio permitirá evaluar futuras políticas y modificaciones al modelo de cuidados crónicos en el sistema de salud chileno.

Introduction: Self-management support, activation, participation, and feedback are core elements in chronic care models. Patients' participation in decision-making has been shown to improve health outcomes. Objective: To estimate the degree of participation of hypertensive and diabetic patients in decisions about their treatment plan in the general Chilean adult population. Methods: Secon-dary analysis of the "Encuesta Nacional de Salud (National Health Survey) (ENS) 2016-2017" multistage random stratified sample of households representative of the Chilean adult population. Hypertensive or diabetic populations older than 15 years of age that were under treatment were included. The weighted prevalence of the variable "perception of participation in decision making about their treatment plan" was described on a Likert scale of 5 levels, according to age, sex, urban/rural area, and educational level. We used logistic regression and adjusted OR. Results 72.3.5% of diabetic and 71.9% of hypertensive patients say they have "never" been asked their opinion about their treatment plan. In the hypertensive population, women perceived less participation than men (OR adjust by age =0.5 [IC 95% de 0.3-0.8]), with no significant differences observed by age, rurality, or educational level. Conclusions: Hypertensive and diabetic populations perceive low levels of participation in the design of their therapeutic plan, results also suggest gender inequity. This study contributes essential insights for the reformulation of Chilean chronic care models and may stand as a baseline to evaluate the implementation of future health policy.

Machine learning-based method for interpreting the guidelines of the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 / 生物医学工程学杂志

The outbreak of pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus (COVID-19) at the end of 2019 was a major public health emergency in human history. In a short period of time, Chinese medical workers have experienced the gradual understanding, evidence accumulation and clinical practice of the unknown virus. So far, National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China has issued seven trial versions of the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of COVID-19". However, it is difficult for clinicians and laymen to quickly and accurately distinguish the similarities and differences among the different versions and locate the key points of the new version. This paper reports a computer-aided intelligent analysis method based on machine learning, which can automatically analyze the similarities and differences of different treatment plans, present the focus of the new version to doctors, reduce the difficulty in interpreting the "diagnosis and treatment plan" for the professional, and help the general public better understand the professional knowledge of medicine. Experimental results show that this method can achieve the topic prediction and matching of the new version of the program text through unsupervised learning of the previous versions of the program topic with an accuracy of 100%. It enables the computer interpretation of "diagnosis and treatment plan" automatically and intelligently.

In-depth discussion on the treatment of terrible triad of the elbow / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis and treatment of the terrible triad of the elbow have achieved a breakthrough. OBJECTIVE: To introduce the definition, basic anatomy, stable structure, injury mechanism and classification of terrible triad of the elbow, and to discuss the treatment plan deeply. METHODS: The first author searched PubMed, CNKI and Wanfang databases for the articles published before September 2019. The keywords were “terrible triad of the elbow, elbow joint, fracture dislocation” in English and Chinese, respectively. A large number of articles concerning the terrible triad of the elbow in recent years were reviewed, and the treatment strategy was summarized. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: For the terrible triad of the elbow, the operator must carefully check the patient before operation, carefully analyze the imaging examination results and three-dimensional printed model, and accurately judge the bone structure of the elbow and degree of ligament injury. During the operation, the stability of the radial head, the fracture of the coronoid process and the injury of the lateral ligament complex are usually reconstructed through a single lateral approach or a combination of internal and external approaches. Then, the stability of elbow joint is tested to determine whether it is necessary to repair the medial ligament complex or use the hinged external fixator to restore the stability of elbow joint. Early active rehabilitation is needed. The above systematic treatment can reduce postoperative complications, accelerate fracture healing, and improve elbow joint function and patients’ quality of life.

Summary of combined orthodontic and implant treatment in the patients with the congenital absence of maxillary lateral incisors / 口腔疾病防治

Objective@#To summarize the treatment options for congenital maxillary lateral incisor agenesis (MLIA).@*Methods @#Review the literature, summarize the current treatment options and advantages and disadvantages of various methods of MLIA, and analyze cases. @*Results @#When a patient′s occlusion and other conditions are suitable for space closure and canine substitution, closure of the gap is the recommended method, as it has good aesthetic results and leads to good periodontal health. However, when closure cannot be performed, a dental implant has a strong advantage compared with other restoration methods. When planning implants for MLIA patients, doctors should carefully select the correct surgery time and take care with the implant position to obtain good results.@* Conclusion@#In the choice of a treatment plan for MLIA, we need to use the concept of multidisciplinary combined treatment to obtain a more satisfactory treatment effect with regard to aesthetics and function.

A dosimetric analysis of lung tissue in early stage non-small cell lung cancer patients treated by Cyberknife radiotherapy / 中华放射医学与防护杂志

Objective To analyze the radiation dose to the normal lung tissue of patients with early stage of non-small cell lung cancer treated by Cyberknife. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted by summarizing the treatment plans of 264 patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer from January 2011 to December 2013 in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. Sorted by the tumor volumes and locations, the Cyberknife plans were evaluated by means of dose volume histograms ( DVH) , homogeneity indexes ( HI) , percentage volumes receiving at least x Gy ( Vx ) of dose, i. e. , V5 , V10 , V20 , and V30 of the ipsilateral and contralateral lungs. For the tumors approximate to the hilus, the contralateral lungs were included in the optimization process, and the dose-volume metrics were analyzed for the contralateral and bilateral lungs. Results For the tumors close to the chest wall, V5≥(15. 21 ± 3. 12)％ in ipsilateral lung tissue and V5≥(1. 34 ± 0. 67)％ in contralateral lung tissue were observed. For the tumors near the hilus, V5≥(39. 4 ± 11. 90) ％ in ipsilateral lung tissue and V5≥(1. 48 ± 0. 34) ％ in contralateral lung tissue were observed. The irradiated volume ratios of both ipsilateral and contralateral lung tissue increased with the enlargement of tumor sizes. After including the contralateral lung tissue into the optimization, the irradiated volume ratios of the contralateral and bilateral lung tissue (V5,V10) decreasedsignificantly(t=2.44,4.81,3.53,3.17,P<0.05). Conclusions Higherriskof radiation injury in both ipsilateral and contralateral lung tissue can be expected for tumors near the hilus than near the chest wall. After including contralateral lung tissue into the planning optimization, lower dose to the contralateral and whole lung tissue was achieved, indicating a better protection of normal lung tissue.

Objective@#To discuss the application of three dimentional(3D)visualization technologies in treatment plan of hepatic malignant tumor.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 300 patients with liver malignant tumor who received treatment from January 2016 to January 2017 in the Third Department of Hepatic Surgery of Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital was retrospectively analyzed in this study, including 221 male and 79 female patients aged from 7 to 76 years with median age of 54 years. The median height was 168 cm (115-183 cm), the median weight was 65 kg (20-105 kg) and the median tumor volume was 142 ml (23-2 493 ml). Three-dimensional visualization technology was used in all patients to reconstruct liver three-dimensional graphics. Also, two and three-dimensional methods were taken respectively to evaluate patients and develop treatment strategy. The change of treatment strategy caused by 3D evaluation, actual surgical plan, operation time, time of hepatic vascular occlusion, intraoperative blood loss, volumes of blood transfusion and postoperative complications was observed.@*Results@#After three-dimensional visualization technology was applied, 75(25%) of 300 patients′ treatment strategies had been changed. The range of hepatectomy was extended in 25 patients. And 7 of them were due to hepatic venous variation, which resulted in increasing drainage area. In other 4 patients, liver resections were extended due to lack of perfusion of the liver parenchyma after the removal of portal vein. And hepatectomy was expanded in 14 patients in order to increase the surgical margin. The range of hepatectomy was reduced in 8 patients, 4 of which were due to hepatic venous variation, such as hepatic vein of segment 4 or lower right posterior hepatic vein. The remaining 4 cases were because of insufficient residual liver volume.The surgical resection was performed in 278 cases, 257 of which received operation directly. Left hepatectomy was performed in 24 patients and right hepatectomy was performed in 33 patients. Left trisectionectomy was carried out in 12 patients and right trisectionectomy was carried out in 11 patients. Caudate lobectomy was applied in 10 patients. There were 18 cases of left lateral sectionectomy, 7 cases of right anterior sectionectomy, 25 cases of right posterior sectionectomy and 18 cases of mesohepatectomy. Single or multi segment resection was performed in 99 patients. The treatment strategy of thirty-six patients was converted to staged hepatectomy (ALPPS 11 cases and portal vein embolization 25 cases). The median operation time was 130 minutes (90-360 minutes) and the median inflow blood occlusion time was 20 minutes (0-75 minutes). Median blood loss volume was 200 ml (20-1 600 ml). Thirty-seven of 278 patients received transfusions, and the average red blood transfusion volume was (4.4±1.7)units (0-8 units). Median hepatic resection volume was 530 ml(30-2 600 ml). There were 117 cases of pleural effusion after operation, including 3 patients needing invasive therapy. Ascites occurred in 23 patients, 6 of whom needed invasive therapy. Biliary leakage was observed in 30 patients. Eight patients occurred hepatic cutting surface hemorrhage, 6 of whom received blood transfusion, and 4 of whom underwent laparotomy to stop bleeding. Three patients had pulmonary infection after surgery and 3 patients appeared biliary obstruction. Deep vein thrombosis took place in 2 patients and portal vein thrombosis was observed in 4 patients. No postoperative liver failure and death ever happened in our study group.@*Conclusion@#Three-dimensional visualization technique can optimize the treatment strategy of patients with liver malignant tumor, improve surgical safety.
