Association between posterior tibial slope and tibial torsion angle and recurrent patellar dislocation based on the full-length CT of the lower limbs / 解剖学报

Objective To measure and compare the lateral posterior tibial slope (LPTS) , medial posterior tibial slope ( MPTS) and tibial torsion angle ( TTA) between the patients of recuiTent patellar dislocation and the heathy people, and to analyze the correlation between LPTS, MPTS and TTA and the risk factors of recuiTent patellar dislocation. Methods A total of 33 patients (44 knees) with recuiTent patellar dislocation in our hospital from July 2019 to June 2021 were selected and listed as the stud)' group. Twenty-three subjects (46 knees) who were suspected iliac vascular and lower limb vascular diseases during the same period were selected and listed as the control group. All the enrolled researchers had fulllength CT scans date of the lower limbs. Three-dimensional models were reconstructed using Mimics 21. 0 software and then imported into 3-matic software. The LPTS, MPTS and TTA were measured and compared between the two groups. Results In the study group, the LPTS, MPTS and TTA were (7. 69} 1. 42) ° , ( 10. 06} 1. 71) ° , ( 36. 42}8. 13 ) ° , respectively while the control group, the LPTS, MPTS and TTA were ( 8. 42 } 1. 65 ) ° , ( 10. 44 } 0. 86 ) ° , ( 25. 77} 3. 90 ) ° , respectively. There were no signiiicant differences in the LPTS, MPTS and TTA between different genders and sides both in the stud)' group and the control group ( P > 0. 0 5 ) . Compared with the control group, the LPTS in the stud)' group was smaller, and the difference was statistically significant (P0. 05). Compared with the control group, the TTA in the stud)' group was higher, and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0. 0 5 ) . Compared with the control group, the LPTS and MPTS in the study group were significant asymmetry, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0 . 0 5 ). Conclusion The lateral posterior tibial slope of patients with recurrent patellar dislocation is significantly smaller than that in the healthy people, while there is no significant difference in the medial posterior tibial slope; The tibial torsion angle of patients with recurrent patellar dislocation is significantly larger than in the healthy people; The lateral posterior tibial slope and tibial torsion angle have certain correlation with recurrent patellar dislocation, which can conduct the diagnosis of recurrent patellar dislocation.

Explanation and interpretation of synonymics from the “Field of Medicine” in “Merged Garahyn oron” Tibetan-Mongolian dictionary / Монголын эм зүй, эм судлал

Abstract@#Prior to translating Tanjur to Mongolian (1749), "Merged Garahyn Oron" (1742) was written for the translation work to translate terminology of Buddhism from Tibetan to Mongolian and clarify the writing style. The woodblock of "Merged Garahyn Oron" Tibetan-Mongolian dictionary was created in 1924 in Aga Datsan of Buryatia by the initiative of the Institute of Literature and Scripts. The dictionary is a unique masterpiece that significantly influenced the national philosophy, development of scientific disciplines and the great achievements of the Oriental people.</br> As a result of the research, we compiled 54 complicated and synonymies words from "Field of Medicine" in "Merged Garahyn Oron" dictionary and translated as well as explained each word, thus, providing an opportunity to study traditional medicine with rationale, enrich the traditional medical education materials and to put the interpreted words into research circulation in addition to using in traditional medicine theory and pharmacology. Furthermore, traditional Mongolian medicine has developed a comprehensive medical science system with unique terminology resulting from cognitive development of Mongolians and has been increasingly developing and utilized in day-to-day medical care.

Influences of Lateral Meniscus Posterior Root Tear with Different Suture Methods on Knee Biomechanics / 医用生物力学

Objective To evaluate the biomechanical effects of lateral meniscus posterior root (LMPR) tears fixed at different suture positions, so as to investigate the optimal suture method for repairing LMPR tears. Methods Eight fresh cadaveric knees were used. Each knee was tested under 6 conditions: intact knee, ruptur of LMPR, suture of LMPR to the center point of root insertion, suture of LMPR posterior, interior and later 5 mm to the center point of root insertion, respectively. The peak contact pressure, the average contact pressure and contact area were evaluated using a Tek-scan sensor positioned between the meniscus and tibial plateau, under 1 kN compressive loading, at 0 degree knee extension. Results In the lateral compartment, the average contact pressure and peak pressure significantly increased under rupture of LMPR compared with the intact state (P0.05). Conclusions The average contact pressure, the peak contact pressure and the contact area between the lateral meniscus and the tibial plateau changed obviously due to the LMPR tears. When the suture position was 5 mm lateral to the center point of root insertion, similar biomechanical function with the intact knee could be obtained.
