Objective To investigate the guidance value of TOI classification in treating traumatic T-type atlantoaxial dislocation (ADD).Methods A retrospective case series study was made on 32 cases of traumatic TOI T-type ADD treated between January 2012 and December 2015.There were 19 males and 13 females,aged (38.4 ± 14.7) years.Fifteen cases of T1-type underwent external fixation or internal fixation without fusion,while 17 cases of T2-type underwent internal fixation with fusion.Symon-Lavender clinical standard,Japanese orthopedic association score (JOA),visual analogue scale (VAS),atlas-dens interval (ADI) and space available for the cord (SAC) were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect.Results Patients were followed up for 6-54 months (mean,32.4 months).At final follow-up,ADI was decreased to (2.3 ± 1.4) mm from preoperative (5.6 ± 1.6) mm,but SAC was increased to (15.4 ± 1.9) mm from preoperative (12.0 ± 2.9) mm(P ＜ 0.01).At final follow-up,cervical axial rotation range of motion was 102°-154° in T1-type cases and 57°-93° in T2-type cases.Range of motion for atlantoaxial joint was preserved in T1-type cases,but lost in T2-type cases.According to the Symon-Lavender clinical standard,there were 14 cases of mild disability,nine moderate disability,eight severe disability and one extremely severe disability before operation;there were 21 cases of mild disability,nine moderate disability and two severe disability at last follow-up.Significant difference was observed in the grades according to the Symon-Lavender clinical standard before operation and at last follow-up (P ＜0.05).At last follow-up,JOA score was increased to (14.6 ± 2.9) points from preoperative (9.9± 3.2) points,and VAS was decreased to (2.7 ± 1.3)points from preoperative (6.0 ± 1.6)points (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions By using TOI classification,reconstruction of stability and improved neurological function can be achieved in treatment of traumatic T-type atlantoaxial dislocation.Non-fusion treatment of T1-type atlantoaxial dislocation can preserve range of motion for atlantoaxial joint.

In recent years, the incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) has increased gradually. Due to the unique anatomical location and the different biological features from esophageal cancer and gastric cancer, AEG cannot be simply equated with esophageal cancer or gastric cancer, and the definition, classification and treatment methods of AEG are still controversial. As a result, the study of AEG is becoming increasingly important. Using bibliometrics, the authors search English literatures from the Web of Science Core Collection database from the establishment to December 31, 2022, with the keyword adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junc-tion. To systematically review the international literatures on AEG, EndNote and Excel are used to manage literatures and perform statistical analysis, and VOSviewer and CiteSpace are used to analyze the social network, time series of countries, institutions, authors and keywords, the co-citation of authors and the citation bursts of keywords. The authors summarize the research status and hot trends in this field, hoping to provide reference for future research.
