Article Synopsis
- Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is used to assess the hardness and elasticity of menisci in the knee, aiming to correlate these measurements with degenerative changes seen in MRI scans.
- The study analyzed 104 female and 83 male participants, evaluating their menisci using SWE and comparing the results with MRI grades, revealing significant differences in elasticity values across grades and between genders.
- The findings indicate that higher elasticity values correlate positively with age, BMI, and MRI severity, suggesting SWE could enhance non-invasive evaluation of meniscal health.
Rationale And Objectives: To investigate the impact of different regions of interest (ROI) on the assessment of shear wave elastography (SWE) in evaluating the meniscus of the knee joint.
Materials And Methods: After ethical approval, a total of 141 participants were enrolled in this prospective study from February to October 2023. SWE was utilized to evaluate the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus (LM) and medial meniscus (MM), using two different ROIs (ROI-Small and ROI-Trace) to measure the elastic mean value (Emean) and elastic maximum value (Emax).
Background: Washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) as the improved methods of fecal microbiota transplantation has been employed as a therapeutic approach for ameliorating symptoms associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this context, colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing (TET) has been utilized as a novel procedure for administering WMT.
Methods: Data of children with ASD who received WMT by TET were retrospectively reviewed, including bowel preparation methods, TET operation time, success rate, tube retention time, the comfort of children, adverse events, and parent satisfaction.
Several case-control studies indicated that XRCC3 genetic polymorphism (C722T) was associated with larynx cancer. The present study aimed to further evaluate the relation between the XRCC3 gene C722T polymorphism and larynx cancer. We selected five case-control studies related to XRCC3 gene C722T polymorphism and larynx cancer by searching PubMed, EMBase, Chinese CNKI, and Wanfang database.
