Objective To observe the mammographic appearance of accessory breast tissue in the axilla. Methods In the past 3 years, 7 562 women were underwent bilateral screen-film mammography. All of the mediolateral oblique(MLO) films were reviewed retrospectively to look for whether there was accessory breast tissue and what the mammographic features were like. Radiographically the accessory tissue resembled the main normal breast glandular tissue but was separated from it. Results Of the 7562 cases, accessory breast tissue in the axilla was detected in 161 cases. The prevalence was 2%. The age ranged from 17 to 70 years (mean, 39 years). 38% of them were found in the bilateral axilla, 42% only in the right, and 20% only in the left. The dimensions on the right ranged from 0.7 to 8.0 cm (mean, 3.5 cm), and that on the left ranged from 1.0 to 7.0 cm (mean, 3.3 cm). There were four types among the accessory breast tissue: patchy type was the most (35%), then the branched type(26%),mixed type(20%), and mass-like type(19%). 3 cases were proved by pathology. Conclusion It is important that the radiologist be familiar with the mammographic appearance of accessory breast tissue in the axilla in order that they could be distinguished from other pathological changes.

Objective:To explore the application effect of progressive case teaching method based on core competency in standardized nursing training.Methods:A total of 63 nursing students rotated in department of neurosurgery from June 2020 to June 2022 were selected as the research objects and randomized into experimental group ( n=31) and control group ( n=32). The experimental group adopted the progressive case teaching method based on core competency, and the control group adopted the conventional teaching mode. The data was analyzed using SPSS 26.0 to conduct t-test or non-parametric test based on the data normality for comparing the theory results, objective structure clinical examination (OSCE) scores, core competency, self-directed learning ability scores, teaching satisfaction and nursing satisfaction of patients in two wards between the two groups. Results:The theoretical results ( t=4.74, P<0.001) and OSCE scores ( t=3.81, P<0.001) of the experimental group were better than those of the control group. The scores of core competency and autonomous learning ability ( t=4.32, P<0.001) of the experimental group were better than those of the control group. The teaching satisfaction score ( t=2.21, P=0.044) and patient satisfaction score ( t=2.92, P=0.011) of the observation group were better than those of the control group. Conclusion:The progressive case teaching method based on core competency can improve the post competency of nurses, and also improve the teaching satisfaction rate and patient satisfaction rate, which is worthy of being carried out in the subsequent teaching activities.

Objective:To assess the current practice in perioperative nutritional managament of patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy from 64 level A tertiary hospitals in China, and investigate nutritional managament strategies.Methods:The cross-sectional survey was conducted. From March 31 st to April 13 th, electronic questionnaires of perioperative nutritional management of patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy were sent to the members of Youth Club of Chinese Pancreatic Surgery Association and some pancreatic surgeons from other level A tertiary hospitals in China. The questionnaires were issued by online Wechat platform. Observation indicators: (1) general data; (2) preoperative nutritional management; (3) intraoperative nutritional management; (4) postoperative nutritional management; (5) comparison of nutritional management among medical centers with different surgical amount. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Results:(1) General data: a total of 96 questionnaires from 64 level A tertiary hospitals in 35 cities of 22 provinces were retrieved. There were 94 males and 2 females, aged (42±7) years, with a range from 29 to 59 years. (2) Preoperative nutritional management. ① Preoperative nutritional evaluation and screening: 62.5%(60/96) of surgeons evaluated preoperative nutritional status for patients. For preoperative screening, 41.7%(40/96) of surgeons performed nutritional screening in every patient, and 54.2%(52/96) performed nutritional screening when considering nutritional support. For screening tools, Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 was used in 66.7%(64/96) of surgeons. For selection of non-tool evaluation parameters, 97.9%(94/96) chose two or more indicators for comprehensive evaluation, 92.7%(89/96) chose Albumin as the evaluation parameter. ② Preoperative nutritional support: there were 13.5%(13/96) of surgeons conducting nutritional support regularly. For preoperative nutritional support methods, nutritional support based on diet was conducted by 94.8%(91/96) of surgeons. For timing of perioperative nutritional support, 43.8%(42/96) of surgeons determined the time according to the surgical time. Based on the theory of enhanced recovery after surgery, 24.0%(23/96)of surgeons routinely gave liquid diet or carbohydrate load at the preoperative 2 hours. (3) Intraoperative nutritional management. ① Intraoperative jejunostomy management: 8.3%(8/96) of surgeons performed routine jejunostomy. ② Intraoperative nutrition line management: the nasojejunal tube was placed intraoperatively by 30.2%(29/96), and the nasogastric tube was placed intraoperatively by 78.1%(75/96). Of the above surgeons, 38.7%(29/75) determined the time to nasogastric tube removal based on gastric volume, and 32.0%(24/75) removed the nasogastric tube after flatus in patients. (4) Postoperative nutritional management. ① Postoperative nutritional support methods: 84.4%(81/96) of surgeons gave nutritional support, in which 56.8%(46/81) mainly gave the parenteral nutrition and transition to diet. Total parenteral nutrition at the postoperative first day or complementary parenteral nutrition was the first choice in 78.1%(75/96) of surgeons, oral feeding at postoperative 7 days was the first choice in 86.5%(83/96) of surgeons. ② Postoperative nutritional management for complications: 63.5%(61/96) of surgeons chose enteral nutritional support through percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy, nasogastric tube or nasojejunal tube for grade B or C pancreatic fistula, 72.9%(70/96) chose enteral nutritional support through percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy or nasojejunal tube for delayed gastric emptying. (5) Comparison of nutritional management among medical centers with different surgical amount: of the 96 surgeons, surgeons in medical centers with surgical amount >100 cases a year had the nasogastric tube placement rate of 66.7%(32/48), and surgeons in medical centers with surgical amount ≤100 cases a year had the nasogastric tube placement rate of 89.6%(43/48), showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=7.375, P<0.05). Conclusions:There is no uniform standards for indications, routes, or timing of perioperative nutritional management of patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy among surgeons from level A tertiary hospitals in China. In patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy, the theories and practice of perioperative nutritional management and enhanced recovery after surgery are diverse, which urgently require prospective study with nutritional management strategy as intervention and expert consensus on perioperative nutritional managament in pancreatic surgery accorded with clinical practice in China.

(4) Prognosis of patients with periampullary carcinoma. Results of survival analysis of 1 590 patients with main locations of periampullary carcinoma showed that of 1 023 patients with pancreatic cancer, 969 cases were followed up for 3.0-69.6 months, with a median follow-up time of 30.9 months. The median overall survival time, 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates of pancreatic cancer patients were 19.5 months [95% confidence interval ( CI) as 18.0-21.2 months], 74.28%, 29.22% and 17.92%. Of 225 patients with duodenal papillary cancer, 185 cases were followed up for 3.0-68.9 months, with a median follow-up time of 36.7 months. The median overall survival time, 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were unreached, 94.92%, 78.87% and 66.94%. Of 156 patients with distal bile duct cancer, 110 cases were followed up for 3.0-69.5 months, with a median follow-up time of 25.9 months. The median overall survival time, 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 50.6 months (95% CI as 31.4 to not reached), 90.37%, 56.11% and 48.84%. Of 134 patients with ampullary cancer, 100 cases were followed up for 3.0-67.8 months, with a median follow-up time of 28.1 months. The median overall survival time, 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 62.4 months (95% CI as 37.8 months to not reached), 90.57%, 64.98% and 62.22%. Of 52 patients with duodenal cancer, 38 cases were followed up for 3.0-69.5 months, with a median follow-up time of 26.2 months. The median overall survival time, 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 52.0 months (95% CI as 30.6 months to not reached), 93.75%, 62.24% and 40.01%.There was a significant difference in overall survival after PD between patients with different locations of periampullary malignancies ( χ2=163.76, P<0.05). Conclusions:PD is safe and feasible in a high-volume pancreas center, but the incidence of overall postoperative complications remains high. With the increase of PD volume, the incidence of overall postoperative complications has significantly decreased. There is a significant difference in overall survival time after PD among patients with different locations of periampullary malignancies. The 5-year survival rate after PD for duodenal papillary cancer, ampullary cancer, duodenal cancer and distal bile duct cancer is relatively high, whereas for pancreatic cancer is low.
