The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between cartilage degeneration early after partial medial meniscectomy and abnormal alignment in the lower extremity.The subjects were 34 patients (37 knees) with medial meniscal tear who underwent arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. MRI was performed before and 6 months after surgery. T2 mapping images in sagittal sections of medial femoral condyle were produced and 10 regions of interest were set at intervals of 10° in the articular cartilage in the femur. Lipopolysaccharides ic50 Subjects with an increase in T2 of ≥6% at a flexion angle of 30° were assigned to the degeneration group. Patient background, hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle, and total resection of meniscal segments were compared between this group and the other patients to identify factors involved in degeneration of articular cartilage.T2 values 6 months after surgery in 3 ROIs at flexion angles of 30° to 50° were significantly longer than those before surgery. The preoperative HKA angle was significantly higher in the degeneration group. T2 values in articular cartilage of the femoral condyle increased earlier after meniscectomy with abnormal alignment in the lower extremity.Meniscectomy in cases with abnormal alignment may have a risk of early onset of osteoarthritis.Level of evidence Level IV.To investigate the incidence of skin diseases, the factors affecting the life quality, anxiety, and depression of patients with skin diseases and the correlation among the 3.A total of 1127 patients with skin diseases were selected online from March 2018 to June 2018. Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing life quality, anxiety, and depression. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correction among the life quality, anxiety, and depression.There was no significant difference in ethnicity, education, and time of question among patients (P > .05). Sex ratio, age, marital status, and occupation were statistically significant difference among patients with different skin diseases (P less then .05). The life quality index of patients with psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, steroid-dependent dermatitis, and alopecia were 11.96 ± 6.74, 9.84 ± 6.99, 11.57 ± 6.85, 13.86 ± 6.31, 7.86 ± 6.82, respectively. The differences were statistically significant (P less then .05). The main factors affecting quality of life included age, family history, and types of skin diseases. The age, ethnicity, education, and family history of skin diseases were the main factors affecting anxiety of patients with different skin diseases. Additionally, sex, marital status, education, and family history of skin diseases were the main factors influencing depression. Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the life quality, anxiety, and depression were positively correlated.Psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, steroid-dependent dermatitis, and alopecia have a certain impact on the life quality of most patients, and may cause different degrees of anxiety and depression. Prostatitis is a common urogenital system disease in men which affects 5% to 9% of adult men worldwide and accounts for approximately 8% of visits to urologists. In the past years, its pathogenesis is complicated and the classification of it is not clear, so the effect of treatment measures is not significant. Recently, the treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, phytotherapy, hormonal therapy, alpha-blockers, anti-anxiolytic, and acupuncture, which provide more choice for the urologist. But there still are some limitations. scholars. Many studies suggest radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy may be the better option in the treatment of CP/CPPS. However, the efficacy and safety of it still lack solid evidence. The electronic databases of MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Clinicaltrials.org, China National Knowled
