Objective To investigate the effective regimen to treat the hepatitis C virus (HCV) recurrence after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Methods The clinical data of 4 cases of HCV recurrence after OLT were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 4 cases, there were 3 cases of HCV related liver cirrhosis and 1 case of HCV related liver cirrhosis in combination with hepatocellular carcinoma. The immunosuppression regimen as FK506, MMF and corticosteroids was used after OLT. As soon as HCV recurrence was confirmed by liver biopsy during 8 to 12 weeks after OLT, pegylated interferonα-2a (PEG-IFNα-2a) and ribavirin (RIB) were used for 48 weeks. PEG-IFNα-2a was started at a dose of 180 μg per week subcutaneously and RIB at a dose of 1000 mg per day orally, respective-ly. Blood routine, liver and kidney function test, HCV-RNA and transplanted liver biopsy were per-formed when necessary and biochemical response, sustained virologic response and histological re-sponse were tested in due time. Remits All of the 4 cases except for 1 achieved sustained virologic re-sponse and the liver function was as normal as before. The histological activity index was improved significantly for both inflammatory activity and fibrosis according to liver biopsy in 0, 48, 72 week srespectively. Case 4 was given corticosteroids for consecutively 3 days when acute rejection was veri-fied by liver biopsy and the condition improved. None of them stopped treatment or withdrew from them directly. Conclusion The combination of PEG-IFNα-2a and RIB was an effective regimen to treat the HCV recurrence after OLT and the side effects could be overcame easily.

Objective:To analyze the disaster vulnerability of hospitals in Macao Special Administrative Region to assess the disaster risk objectively, so as to provide reference for Macao hospitals to formulate their emergency plans and improve their emergency response and handling capacity.Methods:From December 2021 to February 2022, 118 medical staff were selected for a questionnaire survey using the method of departmental stratified random sampling from three general hospitals in Macao. At the same time, 7 full-time medical staff and 2 experts in the field of health care were selected for expert consultation. The main content of the questionnaire was the hospital disaster risk assessment based on the Kaiser model, and three-round expert consultation method was used to determine the model indicators. The risk value of each indicator was calculated to analyze the hospital disaster vulnerability.Results:107 valid questionnaires were collected. The top five events in the hospital disaster risk value were typhoon(52.42%), large-scale public health events/epidemic outbreaks(47.55%), strong thunderstorm convective weather(38.68%), extreme temperature(37.31%) and information system failure(33.75%). As ranked by the total risk value, the categories of hospital disasters were natural disasters(35.69%), information security(29.49%), medical technology accidents(29.36%), equipment technology accidents(26.25%), dangerous goods injuries(25.13%) and personnel injuries(19.98%).Conclusions:Macao hospitals are exposed to the highest total risk value in natural disasters, followed by information security. In addition, the risk value of large-scale public health events and epidemic outbreaks of personal injury is also so high as to deserve attention. Macao hospitals should formulate effective emergency response plans according to the risk values of various disasters and the actual situation of each medical department, so as to minimize the losses caused by disasters to both hospitals and patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate a new bowel management program for children patients with fecal incontinence.
METHODSClinical data of 19 children with fecal incontinence undergoing bowel management program in our center between January 2012 and January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The main outcome measure was clinical efficacy of this program.
RESULTSFifteen out of 19 cases were genuine fecal incontinence and required continuous treatment by enema. The other 4 cases were false fecal incontinence. After treatment with this program, stool dirty and constipation were improved in genuine incontinence. Two cases of false continence could control defecation independently by oral administration of antispasmodic drug. Two cases of false continence were cured and did not need medical interference.
CONCLUSIONSBowel management program is an effective treatment for pediatric patients with fecal incontinence. The key of success is maintenance of perianal hygiene for 24 hours by continual adjustment of the elements and volumes of enemas.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the experience of minimally invasive treatment in 520 patients with intracranial aneurysms on a retrospective study.
METHODSThe measures used in the treatment of 520 patients were reviewed in terms of timing of surgery, induced-hypotensive anesthesia, brain protection combined with temporal occlusion of the feeding artery, external drainage of CSF, dynamic monitoring of intracranial pressure, blood flow velocity, serum osmolality and CT scanning, anti-vasospasm therapy as well as selected interventional endovascular embolization of aneurysms.
RESULTSOf the 520 patients, 485 were treated with either direct clipping or endovascular embolization and 35 patients were treated non-surgically. In 449 patients undergoing direct clipping and 36 undergoing endovascular embolization, intraoperative rupture of aneurysm occurred in 27 (6.0%) and 0%, respectively. Death occurred in 13 (2.6%), hemiplegia in 8 (1.6%), and vegetative state in 2 (0.4%). The operative mortality of direct clipping was 3.8% in 210 patients before 1990 and 1.8% in 275 patients after 1990 (36 patients undergoing endovascular embolization, the operative mortality was 0%).
CONCLUSIONThe outcome of patients with intacranial aneurysms can be markedly improved and the operative mortality can be lowered by minimally invasive treatment.

To report the short-term clinical outcome of three cases of distal tibial osteosarcoma treated with a novel 3D-printed ankle fusion prosthesis for limb preservation. The patients were admitted to the Department of Bone Tumor, Shanghai General Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021, with one male and two female cases, aged 18, 12, and 14 years, respectively, all diagnosed with distal tibial osteosarcoma (Ennecking stage IIb). A new self-designed ankle fusion prosthesis was used to perform osteosarcoma resection and prosthetic reconstruction of the distal tibia. The operation time, blood loss, postoperative American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score (AOFAS) and ankle range of motion were recorded. All the 3 patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 22 months, 18 months and 12 months, respectively. The operation time was 140 min, 110 min and 200 min, and the blood loss was 200 ml, 200 ml and 350 ml, respectively. At the last follow-up, the AOFAS were 86, 90 and 95 points, and the range of motion of ankle flexion and extension were 30°, 15° and 30°. There was no local recurrence or lung metastasis at the last follow-up. The novel 3D-printed ankle fusion prosthesis in the distal tibia is safe and effective for the reconstruction of bone defects after resection of osteosarcoma in the distal tibia, and the early postoperative function is satisfactory.

The national health industry standard (WS/T 610-2018), 'the reference of screening for elevated blood pressure among children and adolescents aged 7-to 18-years-old’, plays a significant role in the standardization of the blood pressure evaluation, the early detection of high blood pressure, and the early intervention of hypertension and other chronic non-communicable diseases among Chinese children and adolescents. This standard gives screening thresholds for blood pressure assessment of children and adolescents in different genders, ages, and heights. Given the complexity of applying this standard, it is error-prone and less efficient to evaluate blood pressure one by one or program this procedure. Therefore, this study provides a SPSS package based on the standard for researchers to download and use, combined with specific cases to guide the use of this package to evaluate the blood pressure of children and adolescents step by step, which could empower researchers to accurately and efficiently conduct blood pressure screening for children and adolescents in China.

Objective:Limb salvage treatment for osteosarcoma in the distal tibiais challenging and the incidence of postoperative complications is high. To prove that the use of autologous bone inactivation to replant the ankle joint has a satisfactory clinical effect.Methods:This study retrospectively studied 6 cases (4 males and 2 females) of the osteosarcoma of the distal tibia from June 2018 to April 2019 in our center. The average case age was 16.8 years. All cases were first diagnosed in the center, and classic osteosarcoma was confirmed by biopsy. Before the operation, he received 4 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The tumor was resected under general anesthesia, and the tumor bone was inactivated and replanted for internal fixation and reconstruction. During the operation, the tumor segment was completely removed, and after a series of treatments, it was immersed in hypertonic saline at 65 °C for 45 min. After removal, the bone defect was filled with bone cement, and internal fixation materials such as plate screws and anchors were placed. Finally, soft tissue was rebuilt after the inactivated bone internal fixation complex (autograft-fixation composite, AFC) was replanted. Patients were treated with plaster for 3 months after surgery. Chemotherapy continued 2 weeks after surgery. Follow-up X-ray of the lower tibia were taken at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the operation to evaluate the MSTS score and ankle function score (AOFAS) to evaluate the ankle function.Results:The patients were followed up for an average of 20 months. At 12 months after operation, no complications such as deep infection, mechanical failure of internal fixation, or local tumor recurrence occurred. The MSTS score averaged 26.7±2.6 points. The AOFAS average was 82.3±8.5 points. The VAS average is 2.7 points. Boneunionwasobserved in 5 cases during follow-up. All cases were satisfied with the treatment results.Conclusion:Limb salvage treatment of distal tibia osteosarcoma is more difficult. This study proves that the use of tumor bone inactivation and internal fixation to reconstruct the ankle joint can not only cure the tumor, but also has satisfactory limb function. It is an ideal strategy for limb salvage reconstruction.

Objective To evaluate the application efficacy of SpyGlass endoscopic direct visualization system in management of complex biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 369 adult patients with biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation who received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for the first time were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative conditions, intraoperative manifestations, treatment outcomes and complications of patients treated with SpyGlass system were analyzed. Results Fifty-six patients were treated with SpyGlass system. The main preoperative symptoms included abdominal discomfort in 38 cases, fever in 8 cases, jaundice in 6 cases and skin itching in 4 cases. Ultrasound examination in 18 patients indicated common bile duct stenosis and significant intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. Preoperative magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) of 56 patients revealed that 36 cases were diagnosed with common bile duct stenosis complicated with stones, 16 cases of common bile duct stenosis alone and 4 cases of suspected tumors. All patients had definite indications for SpyGlass system treatment. Among 56 patients treated with SpyGlass system, 34 cases were diagnosed with anastomotic stricture complicated with stones, 12 cases of anastomotic stricture alone, 1 case of biliary stone and 4 cases of tumors. Among 48 cases who were successfully treated, the levels of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltransferase, alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin at postoperative 48 h were all significantly lower than preoperative levels (all
