Article Synopsis
- Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used for evaluating tibial plateau fractures (TPFs), and the study aims to predict traumatic meniscal lesions (TML) by analyzing specific 3D skeletal anatomy changes from preoperative CT scans.
- The retrospective study included 67 patients with acute TPFs undergoing arthroscopic surgery, identifying correlations between fracture characteristics and the presence of TMLs, with a focus on factors like fragment width and subsiding distances.
- Results indicated that certain measurements, such as sagittal fragment subsiding distance and fragment width, significantly increased the risk of TML in both unicondylar and bicondylar TPFs, revealing distinct predictive parameters for each type.
A new species of Alfieriella Wittmer, 1935 (Coleoptera, Cryptophagidae), Alfieriella senguptai sp. n. from China and India, is described.

Methods: 323 ACS patients were divided into 2 general conditions-matched groups: Firebird group (n = 161) undergoing Firebird DES implantation and Tirofiban intravenous injection 10 microg x kg(-1) within 3 minutes followed by Tirofiban 0.15 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1) intravenous maintenance infusion with micro pump for 36 hours, and Cypher group (n = 162) undergoing Cypher DES implantation and Tirofiban.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) combined percutaneous thrombectomy on coronary thrombotic lesions in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: PCI were performed in 56 patients with AMI and positive coronary thrombus shown by angiography and these patients were randomly divided into PCI therapy group (n = 28) and PCI combined percutaneous thrombectomy group (n = 28). Real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RT-MCE) was performed at 24h and 1 week after PCI.
