Hemangioma of the penile head is rare. This paper reported a patient, 16 years old, who was admitted to hospital due to the discovery of multiple masses on the head of the penis for more than two years. Physical examination showed that three vascular mass-like masses were distributed along the coronal sulcus at the 3, 9, and 12 points of the penile head, and the larger one was about 10 mm×5 mm size, blue-purple, soft, and painless. Ultrasound examination suggested that the patient had a penile head hemangioma. Surgical resection was performed, and the postoperative pathological diagnosis was penile head hemangioma.The follow-up of 3 months showed that the wound healed well without recurrence, and the penile head appearance was not obviously deform.

Malacoplakia is a rare granuloma disease mainly occurred in the urinary system, it is even rarer for renal malacoplakia invading the descending colon complicated with bladder malacoplakia. In this study, one such case was reported. Imaging examination suggested that the left kidney was a large patchy mixed density shadow, and enhancement scan lesion was uneven enhancement. CT guided renal puncture biopsy was performed, and postoperative pathology suggested renal malacoplakia. Transurethral cystoscopy was performed, and postoperative pathology confirmed that it was malacoplakia of the bladder. The effect of conservative antibiotic treatment was not good. The patient underwent radical nephrectomy + left hemicolectomy under general anesthesia, and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of renal malacoplakia, which involved the mucosa of the intestinal tube and the entire muscular layer. The patient was followed up for 6 months after surgery, and no recurrence was seen on CT.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of programmed death-1(PD-1)inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients with metastatic bladder cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 77 cases of metastatic bladder cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to October 2022. According to the different clinical treatment regimens, they were divided into two groups. Patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors combined with gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) regimen were referred to as IGC group, and patients who received GC chemotherapy alone were referred to as GC group. There were 24 cases in IGC group, including 18 males and 6 females, with a median age of 60 (56, 67) years old. Seventeen cases had a history of smoking. Fifteen cases had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 and 9 cases had a score of 1. Twenty-three cases suffered distant metastasis (stage M 1). Two cases suffered lymph node metastasis only, 6 cases with liver metastasis, 8 cases with lung metastasis, and 8 cases with bone metastasis. There were 53 cases in GC group, including 45 males and 8 females, with a median age of 63 (55, 69) years old. Thirty-one cases had a history of smoking. Thirty cases had an ECOG score of 0 and 23 cases had a score of 1, 48 cases suffered stage M 1, 2 cases suffered lymph node metastasis only. Nineteen cases suffered liver metastasis. Twenty-seven cases suffered lung metastasis. And 23 cases suffered bone metastasis. There was no statistically significant difference in the above general information between the two groups ( P>0.05). Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curves, and the difference of median progression-free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS) between the two groups was compared by log-rank test. Finally, the difference in adverse reactions between the two groups was compared. Results:The objective response rate (ORR) was 41.7% and the disease control rate (DCR) was 87.5% in the IGC group.As a comparison, the ORR was 43.4% and the DCR was 83.0% in the GC group. The differences in ORR ( P=0.887) and DCR ( P=0.871) between the two groups were not statistically significant. All patients were followed up for 3 to 45 months, with a median follow-up time of 24 (14, 43) months. The mPFS was 7.0 (95% CI 5.7-8.3) months in the GC group and 8.0 (95% CI 3.0-13.1) months in the IGC group, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( P=0.026). The mOS of patients in the GC group was 16.0 (95% CI 14.4-17.6) months, the mOS was not yet reached in the IGC group, and patients in the IGC group had longer mOS with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.022). All patients experienced treatment-related adverse reactions. Grade 3-4 adverse reactions occurred in 8 cases (33.3%) in the IGC group and in 16 cases (30.2%) in the GC group, and no adverse reaction-related deaths were observed( P=0.992). The most common adverse reactions in both groups were anemia, including 18 cases (75.0%) in IGC group and 38 cases (71.7%) in GC group. There were 4 cases (16.7%) of grade 1-2 hypothyroidism in the IGC group but no patients with hypothyroidism were found in the GC group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.012). There were 8 cases (33.3%) and 4 cases (7.5%) of grade 1-2 skin adverse reactions in the IGC and GC groups, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.011). The immune-related adverse reactions of PD-1 inhibitors in IGC group were 1 case of hyperthyroidism (4.2%), 4 cases of hypothyroidism (16.7%), 1 case of adrenal insufficiency (4.2%), and 1 case of immune colitis (4.2%). Conclusions:Compared with chemotherapy alone, PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy for metastatic bladder cancer can effectively prolong the mPFS and median mOS. The adverse reactions of the two groups were tolerable, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of grade 3-4 adverse reactions. In general, PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic bladder cancer is safe and feasible, but attention should be paid to the immune-related adverse reactions of PD-1 inhibitors.

Objective: To evaluate the oncological and reproductive outcomes in patients with seromucinous borderline ovarian tumors (SMBOT) treated with fertility-sparing surgery (FSS). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with SMBOT who underwent surgery between 2000 and 2019. A centralized histological review was performed and recurrence rates were compared between different surgical procedures. Results: A total of 105 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, of whom 65 underwent FSS and 40 were treated with radical surgery. Fourteen patients had recurrent disease after a median follow-up time of 59.6 months (range: 22.1–256.8 months). All but one relapsed with SMBOT. There was no significant difference in disease-free survival (DFS) between the 2 groups (p=0.141). Multivariate analysis showed that only bilateral involvement was associated with increased recurrence (p=0.008). In the subgroup of patients treated with conservative surgery, there was no significant difference in DFS with regard to surgical procedures (ovarian cystectomy vs. salpingo-oophorectomy, p=0.487). Of the 12 patients in the FSS group who developed recurrence, 11 underwent a second round of FSS and all remained alive with no evidence of disease at the end of follow-up. Of 20 patients desiring pregnancy, 16 patients were successful and resulted in 17 term deliveries. Conclusion FSS is feasible for young patients who wish to preserve their fertility. Patients initially treated with ovarian cystectomy may be managed by close surveillance if post-operative imaging are negative. Repeat FSS remains a valuable alternative for young patients with recurrent SMBOT after thorough communication.

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are heterogeneous disorders caused by autoimmune responses of cancer, which can affect any part of the nervous system. Anti-amphiphysin antibody is one of the high-risk PNS antibodies, which is usually associated with small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. However, extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma is rare in patients with anti-amphiphysin antibody. A case of anti-amphiphysin-associated paraneoplastic brainstem encephalitis with esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma is reported. The tumor was detected by fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and pathologically confirmed by gastroscopic biopsy. The patient′s neurological symptoms were partially improved after treatment of intravenous immunoglobulin and glucocorticoids. However, the disease prognosis is closely related to the accompanying tumor.

Objective:To evaluate the postoperative denture restoration and denture function in pa-tients with mandibular defect reconstructed with vascularized free fibula flap.Methods:In the study,154 patients who underwent mandibular segment resection and used vascularized free fibula flap to repair mandibular defects due to inflammation,trauma and tumor from January 2015 to December 2020 were collected.These patients had common inclusion criteria which were stable occlusal relationship before operation,segmental defects of mandibular bone caused by lesions of mandible and adjacent parts(such as floor of mouth,tongue,cheek),free fibula flap used for repair and surviving after operation.Relevant data were reviewed and situation of denture restoration was followed up.A questionnaire related to den-ture functional evaluation had been proposed for those who had completed the denture rehabilitation.The evaluation index of denture restoration function was assigned by expert authority to obtain the denture function score.SPSS 18.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the basic information of the patients included in the study and the denture restoration of the patients.Results:The rate of postoperative den-ture restoration in the patients with mandibular defects repaired by free fibula flap was 17.5％,and the rate of postoperative denture restoration in the patients with benign mandibular tumors was 25.0％(18/72),which was significantly greater than that in the patients with malignant tumors 11.0％(9/82,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in denture function score between the patients with condylar defect and those without condylar defect in denture repair rate and denture function score(P＞0.05).The functional score of implant denture was significantly greater than that of removable denture(P＜0.05).According to Brown classification,the denture function score of the patients with the defect invo-lving the anterior mandibular region was significantly greater than that of the patients without the anterior mandibular region involved(P＜0.05).The poor oral conditions,such as less amount of remaining teeth,insufficient retention strength,large mobility of soft tissue in the surgical area,poor oral vestibular groove condition became the main reason of not receiving denture restoration(37.86％).Conclusion:The denture rehabilitation of mandibular defect reconstructed with vascularized free fibula flap is closely rela-ted to pathological properties and oral conditions.The clinical outcome of implant denture has been con-firmed effectively and it is a better choice for future denture restoration after mandibular reconstruction.
