Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic adrenalectomy and traditional open adrenalectomy for adrenal tumors in children.Methods:In Department of Pediatric Surgery, Fujian Provincial Maternity and Children′s Hospital from June 2008 to June 2016, the clinical data of 31 pediatric adrenal tumors was retrospectively analyzed.According to different surgical methods, they were divided into traditional open adrenalectomy group and laparoscopic adrenalectomy group.Bleeding loss, operation duration, incision length, abdominal drainage time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications and recurrence were compared between the 2 groups.Results:There was no significant difference in age, sex, weight, and tumor size between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The intraoperative bleeding loss was (18.06±4.86) mL for open adrenalectomy group and (15.20±4.48) mL for laparoscopic adrenalectomy group, and there existed no significant difference in the amount of bleeding between the 2 groups( T=-1.702, P>0.05). The operation duration was (137.44±19.32) min for open adrenalectomy group versus (134.80±6.21) min for laparoscopic adrenalectomy group, and there was no significant difference in operation duration between the 2 groups ( T=-0.504, P>0.05). The length of incision was (7.94±1.34) cm for open adrenalectomy group versus (3.44±0.21) cm for laparoscopic adrenalectomy group, the length of incision in laparoscopic group was shorter than that in open adrenalectomy group.There was significant difference in the length of incision between the 2 groups ( T=-12.843, P<0.001). The hospitalization time was (9.63±2.55) d for open adrenalectomy group versus (7.20±1.37) d for laparoscopic adrenalectomy group, the hospitalization time in laparoscopic group was shorter than those in open adrenalectomy group.The difference of operation time between the 2 groups was statistically significant ( T=-3.261, P=0.003). The average indwelling time of abdominal drainage tube was(5.94±1.53) d for open adrenalectomy group versus (4.80±1.74) d for laparoscopic adrenalectomy group, with no significant difference in postoperative abdominal drainage time between the 2 groups( T=-1.938, P>0.05). There was 1 case of retroperitoneal hematoma in laparoscopic adrenalectomy group and 2 cases of complications in open adrenalectomy group.There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the 2 groups ( P=1.000). There were 3 cases of distant metastasis and 1 case of recurrence in laparoscopic group, and 2 cases of distant metastasis and 1 case of recurrence in open adrenalectomy group.There was no significant difference in recurrence between the 2 groups ( P=1.000). Conclusions:Compared with open adrenalectomy surgery, laparoscopic adrenalectomy in children has various advantages, including beautiful incision, less trauma and fast recovery.However, it is necessary to select the appropriate cases.

Osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture (OPHF) is one of the common osteoporotic fractures in the aged, with an incidence only lower than vertebral compression fracture, hip fracture, and distal radius fracture. OPHF, secondary to osteoporosis and characterized by poor bone quality, comminuted fracture pattern, slow healing, and severely impaired shoulder joint function, poses a big challenge to the current clinical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of OPHF, traditional Chinese and Western medicine have accumulated rich experience and evidence from evidence-based medicine and achieved favorable outcomes. However, there is still a lack of guidance from a relevant consensus as to how to integrate the advantages of the two medical systems and achieve the integrated diagnosis and treatment. To promote the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, relevant experts from Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatric Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Youth Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Osteoporosis Group of Orthopedic Surgeon Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine have been organized to formulate Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic proximal humeral fracture with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ( version 2024) by searching related literatures and based on the evidences from evidence-based medicine. This consensus consists of 13 recommendations about the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, aimed at standardizing, systematizing, and personalizing the diagnosis and treatment of OPHF with integrated traditional Chinse and Western medicine to improve the patients ′ function.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy and adverse effects of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the treatment of T₂N₀M₀ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods: By retrospectively analyzing the clinical data of 30 inoperable patients with stage T₂N₀M₀ NSCLC treated by SBRT, the overall survival, progression-free survival, cancer-specific survival and adverse effects were determined. Results: The median follow-up was 18.4 months. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival rates were 92.2%, 92.2% and 80.6%, respectively. The corresponding cause-specific survivals were 95.7%, 95.7% and 83.7%. The progression-free survivals were 70.2%, 54.1% and 40.6%. The local control rates were 100%, 94.4%, and 94.4%. The regional controls were 84.2%, 72.1%, and 54.1%; and distant controls were 84.6%, 72.4% and 64.3%, respectively. Twenty patients (66.7%) developed symptoms of grade 1 radiation-related toxicities: dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, cough, esophagitis, or pneumonia. Among these, 5 patients suffered grade ≥2 radiation pneumonitis, and one patient experienced grade 4 radiation pneumonitis. Conclusions SBRT was efficient and safe for patients with inoperable T₂N₀M₀ NSCLC, imposing tolerable toxicities.
