Objective To improve the early diagnosis and prognosis factor of pancreatic carcinoma by summarizing and analyzing the clinical data. Methods The clinical data of 90 patients with pancreatic carcinoma of our hospital from 1989 to 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The symptoms of pancreatic carcinoma were very complicated,the most common manifestations were bellyache,jaundice and weight loss. Main physical signs in these patients included abdominal tenderness,abdominal mass,hepatomegalia,gallbladder enlargement. Jaundice was the outstanding manifestation of pancreatic head cancer. Among all patients,16 cases accepted sugical resection(17.8%),and the 1-year,3-year,5-year survival rate were 22. 2%,11.1% and 2. 2% respectively. Our data showed that the most important prognostic factors which influenced life span were the surgical procedures,tumor size and location,histological differentiation,TNM stage. Conclusions Clinical manifestations of pancreatic carcinoma are related to TNM stage,tumor size and location,histology type,complication disease. Clinical symptoms only provide clue for diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma. Laboratory and imaging examination will provide objective evidence for further diagnosis and prognosis in pancreatic carcinoma.

Orbital fracture often leads to facial collapse, diplopia, enophthalmos, and even blindness. Traditional surgery relies on the experiences of physicians to achieve fracture reduction and orbital wall reconstruction, but the repair effect is not satisfactory. In recent years, with the development of digital technology, technologies such as computer-assisted surgery, 3D printing, surgical navigation systems, and intraoperative CT imaging have become increasingly widespread in the field of orbital reconstruction. Such techniques can avoid dependence on physicians′ experiences and make it easy for estimating and positioning the implantation sites, which subsequently contributes to better surgery efficiency and precise reconstruction of the orbit, improving aesthetics and visual function of patients. To this end, the authors reviewed the recent progress in application of digital technology for orbital fracture reconstruction, so as to provide reference and theoretical basis for clinical practice.

Objective:To automatically and rapidly detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in an objective manner using natural language processing (NLP).Methods:A total of 215 participants (half female) aged 50 to 80 were recruited for the study′s normal cognition and MCI groups. Speech tasks and the mini mental state examination (MMSE-2) were used to collect audio data and quantify cognitive functioning. Altogether 162 acoustic features were extracted including the speaking speed, syllable number, syllable duration, number of pauses, duration of pauses, the standard deviation of formant frequency and sound pressure variation. They were compared between the two groups and genders. Multiple regression analysis was used to formulate a model predicting MCI. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of its predictions were used to evaluate its predictive power.Results:There were significant differences between the two groups in 50 acoustic features including their pronunciation rhythm and pronunciation accuracy. Univariate correlation analysis revealed that the pronunciation rhythm was significantly associated with cognitive functioning. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the model were 0.54, 0.80 and 0.69 for males and 0.00, 0.86 and 0.63 for females.Conclusion:MCI greatly affects pronunciation rhythm. Acoustic analysis based on NLP can detect MCI rapidly and objectively.

Objective:To analyze the clinical effect of navigation-assisted cosmetic incision for reduction and internal fixation in treating unilateral B-type zygomatic fracture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed on clinical data of 35 patients with unilateral type B zygomatic fracture treated from January 2018 to December 2019 in First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University. There were 20 males and 15 females at age range of 5-62 years [(38.7±11.3)years]. Navigation-assisted cosmetic incision for reduction and internal fixation was performed for 17 patients (navigation group), and empirical incision to reduction and internal fixation was performed for 18 patients (convention group). The length of bony zygomatic process (zygomatic process) and width of zygomatic temporal point (frontal width) of the bilateral zygomatic bone were measured on the horizontal axis of CT at 1 week after operation. The absolute values of the difference of bony zygomatic process degree and frontal bony width between affected side and the healthy side were compared between the two groups. The patients′ satisfaction and occurrence of complications such as lower eyelid ectropion, incision infection and facial nerve injury were compared between the two groups at half a year after operation.Results:All patients were followed up for 6-24 months [(9.3±1.2)months]. The absolute difference of bony zygomatic process was 0.60(0.25, 0.85) mm in navigation group, and was 0.75 (0.20, 1.98)mm in convention group ( P>0.05). The absolute difference of frontal bony width was (0.37±0.11)mm in navigation group, and was (2.47±0.63)mm in convention group ( P<0.01). Satisfaction rates by both objective evaluation and subjective evaluation in navigation group were better than that in convention group at half a year after operation (both P<0.05). Navigation group showed lower eyelid ectropion in 1 patient and incision infection in 1 patient. Convention group showed facial nerve injury in 1 patient and incision infection in 2 patients. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between navigation group [12%(2/17)] and conventional group [17%(3/18)] ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For unilateral type B zygomatic fracture, navigation-assisted cosmetic incision for reduction and internal fixation can more accurately restore the frontal width, and improve satisfaction rate as compared with empirical reduction and internal fixation.
