Search for a heavy dark photon at future colliders
A coupling of a dark photon from a with the standard model
(SM) particles can be generated through kinetic mixing represented by a
parameter . A non-zero also induces a mixing between
and if dark photon mass is not zero. This mixing can be large when
is close to even if the parameter is small. Many
efforts have been made to constrain the parameter for a low dark
photon mass compared with the boson mass . We study the
search for dark photon in for a
dark photon mass as large as kinematically allowed at future
colliders. For large , care should be taken to properly treat possible
large mixing between and . We obtain sensitivities to the parameter
for a wide range of dark photon mass at planed colliders,
such as Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC), International Linear
Collider (ILC) and Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee). For the dark photon mass

exclusion limits on the mixing parameter are . The CEPC with and FCC-ee with

Modified basket plate for inferior patellar pole avulsion fractures—A report of three cases
AbstractIn patients who have sustained an avulsion fracture of the inferior patellar pole, the extensor mechanism is disrupted and should be repaired. The normal height of the patella can be maintained by preserving the patellar pole, but fractures of the inferior pole of the patella are not easy to reduce and fix firmly. In contrast with partial patellectomy, which requires postoperative immobilization, internal fixation with a basket plate allows for immediate mobilization and early weight-bearing. Owing to the unavailability of the basket plate in Taiwan, we have modified the plate with the titanium mesh as a possible alternative. We present three cases of this modified basket plate, which took place between 2008 and 2010. This technique avoided long-term immobilization of the knee with good clinical results
