Localized Chronic Form of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in the Femur of a 16-Year-Old Male Successfully Treated with Radiofrequency Ablation by Kyriakos Papavasiliou, Antonia Bintoudi, Apostolos Vlahodimos, Eleftherios Tsiridis, Prodromos Hytiroglou, Ioannis Tsitouridis, Fares Sayegh

“…This is the first case report of a patient with a localized chronic form of LCH of the femur, which was successfully treated with percutaneous image-guided RFA, and who was evaluated pre-RFA and followed up post-RFA for a period of 48 months, in order to validate the safety and efficacy of this method and to obtain imaging studies depicting the actual in situ changes taking place post-RFA. RFA was proved to be a safe and efficient method when treating patients with a localized chronic form of LCH.…”

Study on the Relationship between Fracture Morphology and Splitting Strength of Granite Based on Fabric Distribution by GuangSheng Du, ShiJiang Chen, Xiaoyi Chen, Yunfeng Gao, Hailong Wu

“…The results show that (1) the Voronoi GBM model with spatial correlation function of the discrete element can effectively simulate the controllable granite fabric and carry out micromechanical analysis. (2) The strength of the granite specimen and the fractal value of the cross-section have an obvious linear relationship with the fabric; besides, there is also a certain linear relationship between the strength of the specimen and the fractal value, which is influenced by granite fabric. (3) The predicted strength of the specimen according to the fractal value of the section is in good agreement with the actual strength with the error rate of 30%. In a word, this method can predict the strength of the specimen through the failure section and analyze the hydraulic fracture section and water pressure.…”
