Radiation-induced esophageal injury (RIEI) is a frequent complication following radiotherapy for thoracic and head-neck malignancies, which may lead to severe sequelae including esophageal stricture and perforation, adversely affecting patients' quality of life and therapeutic outcomes. With advancements in radiotherapy techniques — particularly the adoption of unconventional fractionation regimens, concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and combined molecular targeted / immunotherapy — the incidence of RIEI has been increasing. In this review, recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, risk factors, and management strategies for RIEI were comprehensively summarized. Current therapeutic approaches have evolved beyond conventional anti-inflammatory and nutritional support to include novel interventions such as targeted therapy, free radical scavengers, and microbiota modulation, etc. Future research should prioritize the development of optimized, individualized prevention and treatment protocols to mitigate RIEI risk and improve patient prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the treatment strategies for vesicovaginal fistula（VVF）in women following cervical cancer radiotherapy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 33 female patients with post-radiotherapy VVF after cervical cancer treatment at Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital between January 2020 and June 2024. The patients were categorized into three groups based on surgical approaches：Group A（11 patients）：Underwent prone-position VVF repair. Mean age：（50.0±9.6）years；mean radiotherapy sessions：（22.6±2.2）. All had simple VVF without concurrent intestinal or surrounding soft-tissue fistulas. Among them，1 patient previously received laparoscopic VVF repair，1 transvaginal VVF repair，and 2 gracilis muscle flap packing for VVF repair. One month prior to surgery，the average daily usage of urine pads was 16.7（12.8，25.7）pieces，and the quality of life（QOL）score stood at 4.0（4.0，5.0）points. Preoperative cystoscopy revealed that 8 cases had fistulas located in the trigonal region of the bladder，while 3 cases had fistulas on the posterior bladder wall. The diameter of the fistula openings，measured under a microscope，was 1.2（0.8，1.6）cm. Based on the Goh classification criteria for vesicovaginal fistulas，this group included 3 cases of type 1，4 cases of type 2，2 cases of type 3，and 2 cases of type 4；7 cases of type A and 4 cases of type B；as well as 3 cases of typeⅠ，7 cases of type Ⅱ，and 1 case of type Ⅲ.Group B（20 patients）：Underwent gracilis muscle flap packing for VVF repair. Mean age：（58.6±8.8）years；mean radiotherapy sessions：（29.8±3.9）. Three patients had concurrent rectovaginal fistulas and received colostomy for fecal diversion. History of previous interventions：3 had laparoscopic VVF repair，4 transvaginal VVF repair，and 1 both transvaginal and laparoscopic VVF repair. One month prior to surgery，the average daily usage of urine pads was 19.7（15.8，27.7）pieces，and the QOL score stood at 5.0（5.0，6.0）points. Preoperative cystoscopy revealed that 13 cases had fistulas located in the trigonal region of the bladder，while 7 cases had fistulas on the posterior bladder wall. The diameter of the fistula openings，measured under a microscope，was 1.8（1.0，3.2）cm. Based on the Goh classification criteria for vesicovaginal fistulas，this group included 4 cases of type 1，9 cases of type 2，3 cases of type 3，and 4 cases of type 4；6 cases of type A，11 cases of type B and 3 cases of type C；as well as 1 cases of type Ⅱ，and 19 case of type Ⅲ. Group C（2 patients）：Underwent ureterocutaneous diversion. Ages：67 and 73 years；radiotherapy sessions：51 and 60，respectively. Both had concurrent rectovaginal fistulas and bladder soft-tissue fistulas. The patient presented with recurrent thigh abscesses accompanied by fever. One month prior to surgery，the daily usage of urine pads was 29 and 23 pieces，respectively，and the QOL score was 6 points. Cystoscopic examination revealed that the vesicovaginal fistulas were located in the trigone of the bladder，with diameters of 3 cm and 4 cm，respectively. Additionally，partial defects were noted in the ventral wall of the urethra，while no bladder soft tissue fistulas were detected. According to the Goh classification for vesicovaginal fistulas，both cases were categorized as type 4，type C，and type Ⅲ. For Groups A and B，urinary catheters were indwelled for 3 weeks postoperatively，then removed to assess spontaneous urination and incontinence. QOL was evaluated，with a minimum 6-month follow-up. For confirmed postoperative VVF recurrence，re-repair was performed 3?6 months later based on patient preference. For Group C，double-J stents were placed in the ureters，and stoma bags were applied 3 days postoperatively. Stents were replaced every 1?2 months，with QOL assessment. Successful fistula repair in Groups A and B was defined as the absence of vaginal leakage confirmed by cystoscopy after six months of the procedure with no vaginal leakage. For Group C，surgical success was determined by the resolution of perineal urinary leakage and improvement in QOL.Results:All 33 patients completed surgery successfully. Group A：Follow-up duration：16.3（9.6，24.6）months. Surgical repair succeeded in 7 patients，with unobstructed spontaneous urination and no vaginal incontinence. Four patients had VVF recurrence：2 refused further treatment，and 2 underwent repeat gracilis muscle flap packing. One was successfully repaired，while one recurrence case refused further treatment. Group B：Follow-up duration：17.0（9.5，24.8）months（8?32 months）. Thirteen patients restored spontaneous urination without recurrence. Seven had recurrence：5 refused further surgery，and 2 underwent re-repair. One repair succeeded without incontinence，while one recurrence case refused treatment. Group C：Follow-up durations were 6 and 22 months. Perineum remained dry without incontinence（no urine pads needed），and no recurrence of thigh soft-tissue redness/infection occurred. QOL scores were 2 and 3，respectively.Conclusions:Post-radiotherapy VVF in women after cervical cancer presents complex and variable conditions. The primary goal of treatment should be to improve patients’ quality of life. Treatment approaches should be selected based on the complexity of urinary fistulas and local tissue conditions. In general，patients who are younger，have received lower doses of radiation therapy，present with smaller fistula diameters，have well-vascularized and elastic perifistular tissues，and have no concurrent tissue fistulas are candidates for prone-position VVF repair. Patients who do not meet the criteria for transvaginal repair，have a history of at least two previous repair attempts，or have concurrent vaginorectal fistulas require gracilis muscle flap packing for VVF repair. Patients with three or more types of concurrent tissue fistulas，extensive pale and inelastic perifistular tissues，and who are not amenable to repair surgery undergo ureterocutaneous diversion.

Objective:To investigate lymph node metastasis(LNM)in the prostatic anterior fat pad(PAFP)of PCa patients after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy(RARP),and analyze the clinicopathological features and prognosis of LNM in the PAFP.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data on 1 003 cases of PCa treated by RARP in the Department of Urolo-gy of PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022.All the patients underwent routine removal of the PAFP during RARP and pathological examination,with the results of all the specimens examined and reported by pathologists.Based on the pres-ence and locations of LNM,we grouped the patients for statistical analysis,compared the clinicopathological features between different groups using the Student's t,Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests,and conducted survival analyses using the Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank methods and survival curves generated by Rstudio.Results:Lymph nodes were detected in 77(7.7％)of the 1 003 PAFP samples,and LNM in 11(14.3％)of the 77 cases,with a positive rate of 1.1％(11/1 003).Of the 11 positive cases,9 were found in the upgraded pathological N stage,and the other 2 complicated by pelvic LNM.The patients with postoperative pathological stage≥T3 constituted a significantly higher proportion in the PAFP LNM than in the non-PAFP LNM group(81.8％[9/11]vs 36.2％[359/992],P=0.005),and so did the cases with Gleason score ≥8(87.5％[7/8]vs 35.5％[279/786],P=0.009).No statisti-cally significant differences were observed in the clinicopathological features and biochemical recurrence-free survival between the pa-tients with PAFP LNM only and those with pelvic LNM only.Conclusion:The PAFP is a potential route to LNM,and patients with LNM in the PAFP are characterized by poor pathological features.There is no statistically significant difference in biochemical recur-rence-free survival between the patients with PAFP LNM only and those with pelvic LNM only.Routine removal of the PAFP and inde-pendent pathological examination of the specimen during RARP is of great clinical significance.

Objective:To explore the application value of transpubic access on female urogenital tract injury.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 15 female patients with urogenital tract injury caused by trauma admitted to our department from May 2020 to October 2024，all of whom were complicated urethral stricture or atresia，accompanied by urethrovaginal fistula or vaginorectal fistula. All patients underwent suprapubic vesicostomy before surgery，and 1 case underwent sigmoidostomy simultaneously. The mean age of the patients was（29.6 ± 3.2）years old，and the course of disease was 6-24 months. Preoperative urethrography and urethroscope showed the location of urethral stenosis，with proximal urethra stricture in 7 cases and distal urethra stricture in 8 cases. The average length of strictures was（2.8±0.2）cm. The urethral ultrasonography，magnetic resonance and CTU examination showed 8 patients were complicated with urethrovaginal fistula，and 1 patient was complicated with vaginorectal fistula. All patients underwent transpubic access and resection of symphysis pubis. According to the specific conditions of urethral stricture，7 of them underwent end-to-end urethral anastomosis，5 cases underwent bladder wall flap urethroplasty，3 cases underwent vulva flap urethroplasty，8 cases underwent urethral vaginal fistula repair，1 case underwent vagino-rectal fistula repair，and 7 cases underwent vaginoplasty during the operation.Results:All the 15 patients underwent successful operation without complication. After the catheter being removed 4 weeks after surgery，2 patients had urgent urinary incontinence and 3 patients had stress urinary incontinence. The bladder neck was reconstructed 3 months after surgery，the symptoms of urinary incontinence improved in 1 case，urinary incontinence remained in 2 cases，and pharmaceutical or physical therapy were continued. Two patients could not urinate normally after the catheter was removed and still carried the vesicostomy tube，waiting for further treatment. The other 8 patients had unobtrusive voiding after extubating，and were followed up for an average of（22.5±3.2）months. There was no recurrence of urinary fistula，and the average maximum urinary flow rate was（22.8±3.2）ml/s.Conclusions:The transpubic approach is a safe and effective way to treat female genital tract injury by different surgical methods according to specific conditions，especially for patients with severe trauma，poor local tissue conditions，complicated urethrovaginal fistula or vagino-rectal fistula.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of modified Kulkarni's one-stage tongue mucosal urethroplasty.Methods:From January 2020 to December 2022, 42 patients with anterior urethral stricture treated by modified Kulkarni one-stage tongue mucous urethroplasty in Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital. Stricture etiology was iatrogenic in 15 cases, trauma in 5 cases, unknown in 5 cases, infection in 6 cases, and lichen sclerosus in 11 cases. Twenty-one patients had previously undergone urethroplasty. The mean age of patients was (48.1±16.2) years. Median stricture length was (6.4±3.0)cm, including 11 cases with two strictures and 3 cases with multiple stenoses. The average preoperative Qmax was (4.6±2.3)ml/s, and the average residual urine was (96.6±24.7)ml. For treatment methods, a midline perineal incision was made, penis was invaginated into the incision, the distal extent of the stenosis was identified, urethra was rotated and dissected only on the left side, and incised dorsally to expose the whole stricture longitudinally. The tongue mucosal graft was fixed to the underlying albuginea and the right margin of the graft was sutured to the left margin of the urethral plate. Foley F14 silicon catheter was inserted. The urethra was rotated to its original position thus covering the oral graft. The improvements were as follows: First, we used tongue mucosa instead of cheek mucosa; Second, for the stenosis involving the urethral meatus, the narrowed urethral meatus was incised on the left side, which was continuous with the incision on the left side of the distal narrow segment, and then tongue mucosa was used as a whole. The catheter was removed 4 weeks after surgery, followed up 1, 3, 6 months, and then once a year.Results:All 42 patients underwent successful surgery without blood transfusion during the operation. The surgical time was 60-120 minutes. There were no complications such as infection, tissue necrosis, or bleeding during the perioperative period, and 16 patients complained of oral pain, which was relieved within one week after surgery. During the follow-up period, 39 cases presented with unobtrusive urination. One month after extubation, the maximum urine flow rate was (25.6±5.7)ml/s, and the residual urine volume was (11.3±7.1)ml. Three months after extubation, the maximum urine flow rate was (25.3±5.7)ml/s, and the residual urine volume was (11.9±7.5)ml. Six months after extubation, the maximum urine flow rate was (24.8±5.9)ml/s, and the residual urine volume was(12.4±7.9)ml. Two patients had recurrent stenosis 2 months after surgery, of which 1 patient underwent urethral dilation and recovered unobstructed urination, and 1 patient had recurrent stenosis after urethral dilation for 2 times and was cured after urethroplasty. No local wound infection, urethral shrinkage, urethral diverticulum, or urinary fistula occurred during the follow-up for 6 to 42 months.Conclusions:The modified Kulkarni’s one-stage tongue mucosa graft urethroplasty is suitable for most anterior urethral strictures, with high success rate, few complications, and avoidance of local wound complications
