Application of MSCT Image Post-Processing Techniques in the Identification of Rib Fracture Malunion.

Objectives: To compare the application value of three image post-processing techniques volume rendering (VR), multiplanar reformation (MPR) and curved planar reformation (CPR) in the identification of rib fracture malunion.

Methods: The types and numbers of rib fracture malunion in 75 patients were recorded, and the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Youden index of VR, MPR and CPR in the diagnosis of rib fracture malunion were compared. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated, and the detection rates of three image post-processing techniques for different types of rib fracture malunion were compared.

Relationship between the Height of Alveolar Bone Resorption and Sex and Age in Adolescents.

Objectives: To explore the relationship between the height of alveolar bone resorption and sex and age in the adolescent dentition.

Methods: Multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) was used to measure the height of alveolar bone resorption at labial, lingual, mesial and distal sites of teeth in 149 adolescents aged from 10 to 20 years. SPSS 25.

miR‑302c‑3p and miR‑520a‑3p suppress the proliferation of cervical carcinoma cells by targeting CXCL8.

The aim of the present study was to identify the differentially expressed microRNAs (miRs) in cervical carcinoma (CC) tissues and cells and to explore the function of miR‑302c‑3p and miR‑520a‑3p in the proliferation of CC cells. Potential dysregulated miRNAs in CC tissues and tumour‑adjacent tissues were detected. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) was performed to determine the expression of miR‑302c‑3p, miR‑520a‑3p and CXCL8 in CC tissues and cell lines.
