Abstract Background: The natural history of traumatic femur head necrosis (TFHN) after femoral neck fracture (FNF) in children and adolescent is relatively unknown and has never been specifically characterized. As we speculated, the natural history in such population would be poor and characterized as the high risk of femoral head collapse, hip deformity and degeneration in a short term. Methods: This retrospective case series enrolled 64 children and adolescent with TFHN who treated with observational treatment from 2000.1 to 2018.1. The primary outcomes, such as the progression of femoral head collapse, hip deformity (Stulberg classification) and hip degeneration (Tönnis grade), and their prognostic factors were analysed. Results: 42 males and 22 females with a mean age of 13 years (6-16 years), were included. A total of 28 hips (44%) showed unsatisfactory outcome and Twenty-five (39%) hips collapsed progressively during a mean follow-up of 48 months (24-203 months). Finally, 38 hips (59%) experienced hip deformity, 20 of them were class IV/V. 34 hips (53%) generally progressed to osteoarthritis, 14 of them were classified as grades II/III. The location of the lesion and the presence of lateral subluxation were found to be independently related to progression of femoral head collapse; however, the presence of lateral subluxation was the only independent risk factor of severe hip deformity and degeneration. Conclusion: TFHN in children and adolescent is a rapidly progressing disease with a poor natural history characterized by a high risk of femoral head collapse progression. If the lateral subluxation emerged, collapsed cases showed increasingly tendency towards severe hip deformity and degeneration.

Abstract Background To review the clinical features, radiographic features, therapy, pathological features and prognosis of orbital cholesterol granuloma(CG). Methods Twelve patients with orbital CG who were referred to Tianjin Eye Hospital between January 2002 and December 2020 were include in this retrospective case series study. Data collected included patient ophthalmic manifestations, imaging finding, treatment strategies, pathological features and prognosis were retrospectively reviewed. Results The patients comprised 10 males and 2 females. The mean age was 34.5±8.9 years(range 16 to 45 years). Four patients had a history of orbital trauma. The clinical manifestations at first visit were proptosis ( 7/12, 58.3%), periorbital or eyelids swelling (6/12,50%), limitation of eye displacement (4/12,33.3%), ptosis(2/12,16.7%), decreased visual acuity (1/12,8.3%).CT showed a non-enhancing,well-circumscribed lesion in the orbit with extensive erosion of the adjacent frontal bone and temporal bone.MRI showed a non-enhancing mass with intermediate to high signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted imaging. Ten patients underwent lateral orbitotomy, and two patient underwent supraorbital orbitotomy,.All patients had aggressive bone erosion. Histopathologic evaluation of the cyst contents and wall revealed cholesterol clefts,multinucleated giant cells,histiocytes, foamy macrophages,and altered blood pigments. The median recurrence time of 79.6±49.8 months (range 19 month to 193 months). Three patients were lost to follow-up. No postoperative diminution of vision was noted,and no recurrence was observed. Conclusions Cholesterol granulomas can present as superiotemporal or temporal orbital lesions. The diagnosis can be established based on CT and MRI. Most of patients can have no history of orbital trauma.

Keloid disorder (KD) is an inherited wound healing ailment, frequently seen among Africans /African Americans and Asians.  Genetics of this disorder continues to be obscure and poorly understood.  Clinical manifestation of KD is quite variable and very diverse, spanning from individuals with one or very few small keloidal lesions, to those with numerous and very large lesions covering large portion of their skin. Ears are common locations for development of keloids.  Ear piercing is by far the leading triggering factor for ear keloid formation in genetically predisposed individuals. Although there are numerous publications about ear and earlobe keloids, there is a void in medical literature about massive ear keloids.  This paper focuses on the natural history of massive ear keloids and risk factors that lead to formation of these life-changing and debilitating tumors and recommendations for prevention.

Abstract Objective To study the clinical characteristics of patients in Zhejiang province, China, infected with the 2019 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-2019). Design Retrospective case series. Setting Seven hospitals in Zhejiang province, China. Participants 62 patients admitted to hospital with laboratory confirmed SARS-Cov-2 infection. Data were collected from 10 January 2020 to 26 January 2020. Main outcome measures Clinical data, collected using a standardised case report form, such as temperature, history of exposure, incubation period. If information was not clear, the working group in Hangzhou contacted the doctor responsible for treating the patient for clarification. Results Of the 62 patients studied (median age 41 years), only one was admitted to an intensive care unit, and no patients died during the study. According to research, none of the infected patients in Zhejiang province were ever exposed to the Huanan seafood market, the original source of the virus; all studied cases were infected by human to human transmission. The most common symptoms at onset of illness were fever in 48 (77%) patients, cough in 50 (81%), expectoration in 35 (56%), headache in 21 (34%), myalgia or fatigue in 32 (52%), diarrhoea in 3 (8%), and haemoptysis in 2 (3%). Only two patients (3%) developed shortness of breath on admission. The median time from exposure to onset of illness was 4 days (interquartile range 3-5 days), and from onset of symptoms to first hospital admission was 2 (1-4) days. Conclusion As of early February 2020, compared with patients initially infected with SARS-Cov-2 in Wuhan, the symptoms of patients in Zhejiang province are relatively mild.
