Objective To explore the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of testicular benign tumors in children.Methods The clinical data of 26 boys ( aged between 17 days to 12 years and average age was 2.5 years) with testicular benign tumors treated in our center between January 2008 and December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The tumors were on the left side in 17 cases, on the right side in 9 cases. Twenty patients presented with painless scrotal mass.3 with cryptorchidism, 2 cases with hydrocele, and 1 case with varicocele.These boys underwent ultrasound or CT examination, results the enlarged tests with space-occupying lesions in 20 cases,3 cases were presented as scrotal empty,3 cases were showed as cystic masses.Twenty-four boys had taken tumor marker detection,which including 3 cases of AFP rised, 2 cases of Neuron-specific enolase slightly higher, 1 case of Ferritin increased.26 patients were performed surgical treatment, 23 cases have taken testicular tumor resection, and 3 cases underwent orchiectomy because of abnormal morphology, according to the intraoperative findings and quick frozen pathological examination results.Results Postoperative pathological diagnosis showed of maturity teratoma in 14 cases, not maturity teratoma in 3 cases, gonadoblastoma in 3 cases, interstitial cell tumor in 2 cases, epidermoid cyst in 2 cases, fibrocellular tumor and testicular inflammatory granuloma in 1 case respectively.The 23 cases were followed up for 3-70 months.All respondents children were alive, and no complications were found such as residual tumor atrophy or tumor recurrence and metastasis.Conclusions Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to obtaining a good effect of testicular tumors. Detailed specialist examination, preoperative ultrasound, CT and determination of tumor markers are important ways to diagnose testicular cancer; rapid intraoperative frozen check may manifest nature of the tumors.For pediatric testicular benign tumor, testis-sparing surgery should be considered.

Objective:To study the clinical efficacy of our modified double reverse traction technique in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 66 patients with tibial plateau fracture who had been treated by our modified double reverse traction technique at Articular Department, Zhongshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2019 to December 2021. There were 37 males and 29 females, with an age of (44±14) years. The double reverse traction technique was used in all patients for reduction of the tibial plateau fracture, and their collapsed articular surfaces were restored by our self-designed universal high affinity prying technique, or by fibular graft support, or by the hooping technique to restore the transverse diameter of the tibial plateau which had been widened. The outcomes of fracture reduction at 2 days postoperation were recorded and evaluated by Rasmussen imaging assessment. Complications were also recorded. The visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores were compared between preoperation, 3 and 6 months postoperation and the rates of fracture healing between 3 and 6 months postoperation.Results:This group of 66 patients was followed up for 12.0(8.0, 16.5) months. The Rasmussen imaging assessment at 2 days postoperation: 60 excellent, 4 good, and 2 fair cases, yielding an excellent to good rate of 97.0% (64/66). At 3 and 6 months postoperation, the VAS scores [1 (0, 1) and 0 (0, 1)] and HSS scores [84 (78, 88) and 91 (85, 95)] were significantly improved compared with those before operation [4 (3, 5) and 36 (29, 39)], and the values at 6 months postoperation were significantly improved compared with those at 3 months postoperation ( P<0.05). The rate of clinical fracture healing at 6 months postoperation (100%, 66/66) was significantly higher than that at 3 months postoperation (77.3%, 51/66) ( P<0.05). Perioperatively, no adverse events were observed like incision infection, deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs, or failure or exposure of internal fixation, except for delayed incision healing in only one patient. Conclusion:In the minimally invasive surgery for tibial plateau fractures, our modified double reverse traction technique can result in excellent fracture reduction by imaging assessment, fine functional recovery of the knee joint and relief of pain.

With the continuous advancement of technology,the application of artificial intelligence in medical imaging has become increasingly widespread,notably revolutionizing the field of nuclear cardiology through the intelligent and precise development of radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging.Artificial intelligence,particularly machine learning and deep learning,has shown immense potential in handling the voluminous and complex data associated with myocardial perfusion imaging.It plays a pivotal role in reducing image acquisition time and radiation dosage,enhancing image quality,optimizing diagnostic accuracy and automating processing and prognostic assessments.This paper summarizes the applications of artificial intelligence in various aspects of myocardial perfusion imaging,including data collection and processing,attenuation correction,image post-processing,diagnostic reporting and patient prognostic evaluation.The aim is to provide new insights and methodologies for research work,thereby promoting the intelligent and precise advancement of nuclear cardiology.
