Objective To explore the clinical method and effect of ultrasonic osteotomy in mandibular angle reduction.Methods Under intronasal approach and general anesthesia,30 patients (5 male patients and 25 female patients) underwent intraoral prominent mandibular angle reductions with ultrasonic osteotomy.The jaw bone under periosteum was explored and the mental nerves protected.According to the clinical features of mandibular angle,curved mandibular angle osteotomy,mandible margin osteotomy or outer cotex splitting osteotomy were performed.Results All the osteotomy of prominent mandibular angle reductions could be completed with ultrasonic osteotomy.There were no complications of bleeding,nerve injury and malfracture happened.After 1 year following-up,the outlines of lower mandible were natural and concordant.Compared with traditional osteotomy devices,ultrasonic osteotomy was smoother and more precisely.Conclusions Ultrasonic osteotomy can improve the precise and safty of mandibular angle reduction.but compared with traditional osteotomy devices,it takes more time for osteotomy procedure.Surgeons need adapt to the different feeling and control methods.

Objective:To summarize the diagnosis features of the prenatal genetic diagnosis of fetal renal cystic disease and to explore the clinical feasibility and significance of prenatal genetic diagnosis of congenital cystic nephrosis.Methods:A total of 25 fetuses with congenital renal cystic disease were examined via invasive prenatal diagnosis in Henan Provincial People's Hospital from June 2017 to September 2019. Amniotic fluid samples were extracted by amniocentesis. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) were performed in 17 cases. In addition to CMA, the other 8 cases were analyzed by G-band karyotype. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in 6 cases which got normal results by CMA and karyotype, and highly suspected as hereditary disease.Results:Of the 25 fetuses assessed, 4 cases (16.0%) pathogenic copy number variation (pCNV) were found, including 2 cases of 17q12 deletion, 1 case of 10p15.1p14 deletion and 1 case of 4q21.28q22.1 deletion(including PKD2 gene). There were 8 cases without chromosome abnormality by karyotype analysis. Six clinical WES analysis found NPHS1 gene c.1440+1 G>A and c.925G > T mutations were related to Finnish type congenital nephrotic syndrome in 1 case, PKD1 gene c.6878C>T mutation was related to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in 1 case, and there was no definitive mutation in 4 cases. Conclusions:CMA and next generation sequencing are powerful tools for accurate diagnosis, treatment and genetic counseling of fetal congenital renal cystic diseases. For congenital cystic nephropathy, genetic detection is helpful to clarify the etiology, and provide more exactly informations for prognosis evaluation, treatment and family genetic counseling.

Objective:To evaluate the effect and influence of exchange transfusion on neonatal ABO hemolysis by comparing the changes of indirect bilirubin in serum and internal environment before and after exchange transfusion.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 242 cases with neonatal ABO hemolytic disease from January 2017 to October 2018 in the Children's Hospital of Jiangxi Province was carried out.According to whether the parents signed or agreed to exchange transfusion, they were divided into two groups.The exchange group (126 cases) received routine treatment + exchange of blood, and the control group (116 cases) was only given conventional therapy(blue light + probiotics + gamma globulin). In the exchange group, peripheral venous blood was collected half an hour before the exchange of blood(T1) and half an hour after the exchange of blood(T2), while in the control group, the indirect bilirubin, platelet and blood sugar were measured at two time points of parents signing disapproval of exchange of blood(T1) and disapproval of exchange of blood and one day after the treatment(T2).Results:The indirect bilirubin levels in serum of the exchange group and the control group were decreased, and the difference was statistically significant[(194.010±41.065)μmol/L vs.(390.048±39.058)μmol/L, t=1507.604, (292.014±39.998)μmol/L vs.(383.452±42.820)μmol/L, t=306.820, all P<0.05]. The decrease of serum indirect bilirubin in the exchange group was more significant than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant.[(194.010±41.065)μmol/L vs.(292.014±39.998)μmol/L, t=368.267, P<0.05]. After exchange transfusion, the levels of platelet and blood sugar were decreased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant[(91.370±24.766)×10 9/L vs.(350.660±32.564)×10 9/L, t=5061.203, (2.965±0.593)mmol/L vs.(5.490±0.876)mmol/L, t=717.817, all P<0.05]. Decreased platelets and blood sugar could return to normal within 3 days. Conclusion:Exchange therapy can significantly reduce the level of bilirubin and the incidence of bilirubin encephalopathy in neonates with ABO hemolysis.Exchange therapy has certain effect on the internal environment of neonatal ABO hemolytic patients, which is easy to cause thrombocytopenia and blood sugar reduction.But the change of internal environment is temporary and reversible.

Objective:To evaluate the recurrence patterns of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after radical surgery and analyze the predictors of post-recurrence survival (PRS).Methods:A total of 382 ESCC patients who developed recurrence after radical surgery were retrospectively reviewed from January 2007 to December 2011. All of them received salvage treatment after recurrence. The Univariate analysis was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Multivariate prognostic analysis was determined using the Cox proportional hazard model.Results:The 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 80.9%, 35.6% and 20.4%, respectively. The median survival time and recurrence time were 29.2 months and 15.0 months. The 1-, 3-, 5-year PRS rates were 37.7%, 14.6% and 11.9%, respectively. The median PRS time was 10.2 months. Locoregional recurrence was noted at 462 sites among 382 patients including 20.5% (95/462) of sites in supraclavicular LN (lymph node), 10.0% (46/462) in anastomosis, 56.1% (259/462) in mediastinal regional LN and 13.4% (62/462) in upper abdominal LN. There were 156, 43, 82 and 101 patients treated with salvage radiotherapy, chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy and palliative care after recurrence, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that T stage, N stage, TNM stage, recurrence site, number of recurrent regions and treatment regimen after recurrence were significantly correlated with PRS ( χ2=5.336, 4.292, 8.067, 7.482, 4.093, 76.426, P<0.05). Patients receiving salvage radiotherapy with the median dose of 60 Gy, were divided into <60 Gy group and ≥ 60 Gy group. The ≥60 Gy group had a better PRS than <60 Gy group ( χ2=8.320, P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that number of recurrent regions and treatment regimen were independent prognostic factors of PRS. Conclusions:Mediastinal and supraclavicular regions were the most common sites of recurrence in ESCC patients after radical surgery. Salvage radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy could significantly improve PRS in recurrent ESCC patients.

Objective: To investigate the origin of infection and risk factors of a case with SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with overseas countries in the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the evidence for improving the COVID-19 control measures at ports. Methods: Ningbo Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) and Beilun CDC conducted case finding and epidemiological surveys immediately after being informed. The general information, history of vaccination and the travel during the latest 14 days were collected from the positive case, and all close contacts were tracked. Saliva samples were collected for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid testing and whole-genome sequencing, and the sequencing results were aligned with the GISAID's EpiCoV database. The origin of infection and transmission route of the positive case was investigated. Results: A case was identified positive for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid during company M's routine screening in the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port on August 10, 2021, and was confirmed positive for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid by Beilun CDC and Ningbo CDC on August 11. Whole-genome sequencing showed SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 ( Delta ) variant, which shared the highest homology with the virus sequence uploaded by Russia on June, 2021 ( Russia/MOW-RII-MH27356S/2021 ). The case was a bundling worker for overseas container ships, and reported communicated with foreign boatmen and contacted materials without protected interventions on the SINOKOR AKITA Container Ship between August 4 and 5, 2021. This ship anchored at Vladivostok, Russia from July 27 to 29, anchored at Ningbo Harbor on August 4, and departed on August 5. Then, 11 boatmen from this ship were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid on August 8. One asymptomatic case was reported in this epidemic; 254 close contacts and 617 secondary close contacts were identified, and all were tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid. No new cases with SARS-CoV-2 infections were detected until August 25, 2021, and the emergency response was therefore terminated. Conclusions The infection was a sporadic COVID-19 epidemic associated with overseas countries, which was caused by Delta variant infection through contacts with foreign boatmen or materials by a bundling worker in Ningbo-Zhoushan Port; fortunately, no epidemic spread occurred. Intensified closed-loop management and increased frequency of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test among high-risk populations, and improving the precision and rapid emergency treatment of COVID-19 epidemics are required for the containment of COVID-19 at ports.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of different doses of oxycodone for prevention of fen-tanyl-induced cough during induction of general anesthesia. Methods A total of 250 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠor Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged 22-62 yr, weighing 47-81 kg, un-dergoing elective surgery, were divided into 5 groups (n＝50 each) using a random number table method:different doses of oxycodone groups (O1-4groups) and control group (group C). Oxycodone 0. 025, 0. 050, 0. 075 and 0. 100 mg∕kg were intravenously injected in O1-4groups, respectively, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of oxycodone in group C. Five minutes later fentanyl 3 μg∕kg was intrave-nously injected within 5 s, and then 2 min later the other drugs were administered for induction. The occur-rence and severity of cough were observed within 2 min after fentanyl injection. The development of respira-tory depression and hypotension and severe bradycardia during induction of anesthesia were recorded within 5 min after oxycodone injection. Results The incidence of cough was significantly lower in O1-4groups than in group C (P＜0. 05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of cough among O1-4groups (P＞0. 05). No respiratory depression was found in C and O1-3groups. The incidence of respiratory depression was significantly higher in group O4than in C and O1-3groups (P＜0. 05). There were no significant differ-ences in the incidence of hypotension or severe bradycardia during induction of anesthesia among the five groups (P＞0. 05). Conclusion Oxycodone 0. 025 mg∕kg provides better efficacy in preventing fentanyl-induced cough during induction of general anesthesia.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of target area of radical radiotherapy for inoperable esophageal carcinoma patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 564 Ⅰ-Ⅳ non-surgical esophageal cancer who received definitive intensity-modulated radiotherapy alone in our hospital from 2006 to 2015. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to identify well-balanced patients for comparison. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate local-regional failure-free survival (LRFFS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) rates and univariate analysis. The multivariate analysis of prognostic factors were tested by COX proportional hazard model.Results:The last follow-up time was December 2018, the median follow-up time was 99.7 (95% CI: 77.5-122.1) months. Follow-up rate was 95.9%. For the 564 patients, the 1-, 3-, 5- year LRFFS were 61.5%, 26.5%, 14.3%, PFS were 56.7%, 25.0%, 13.4%, OS were 73.0%, 31.1%, 16.8%. After PSM, for the elective-nodal irradiation (ENI) ( n=141) and involved-nodal irradiation (IFI) ( n=141) groups, the 1-, 3-, 5- year LRFFS were 68.8%, 34.2%, 19.1% vs. 65.2%, 32.1%, 17.9% ( P>0.05), PFS were 63.1%, 31.0%, 16.6% vs. 60.3%, 29.3%, 16.6% ( P>0.05), OS were 80.9%, 41.5%, 23.3% vs. 80.1%, 35.0%, 20.2% ( P>0.05). In multivariate analysis, tumor volume≤37 cm 3 and Ⅰ+ Ⅱ stage were independent factors for LRFFS, PFS and OS. Subgroup analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the survival rates between the ENI group and IFI group ( P>0.05). Comparing to the IFI group, ENI reduced the local-regional failure rate ( P=0.048). Conclusions:Using intensity-modulated radiation therapy alone for inoperable esophageal carcinoma, ENI can significantly reduce the local-regional failure rate, but not improve survival rates compared to the IFI.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of different irradiation ranges in definitive intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with chemotherapy on the survival of esophageal cancer patients.Methods:Clinical data of 360 esophageal cancer patients who received definitive chemoradiotherapy in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 2006 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 131 patients received elective nodal irradiation (ENI) and 229 patients underwent involved-field irradiation (IFI). Platinum-based chemotherapy was adopted. The overall survival (OS) rate was analyzed by Kaplan- Meier method and Logrank test. Results:Until the final follow-up at the end of December 2018, the follow-up rate was 96%. The median follow-up time was 64 months (95% CI: 53-76). The median survival time was 24 months (95% CI: 20-28). The 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates were 76.1%, 38.7% and 21.0%, respectively. After propensity score matching, the 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates were 83.9%, 48.6%, 26.8% vs. 74.0%, 33.8%, 17.5% between the ENI ( n=131) and IFI groups ( n=131)( P=0.011), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that patients with male, aged≤66 years, cervical and upper-thoracic location, tumor length≤7 cm, tumor volume≤50 cm 3, T 1-3 stage, dosage>60 Gy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy obtained better OS rates in the ENI group than their counterparts in the IFI group (all P<0.05). In the ENI group, the total failure rate, locoregional failure rate and distant metastasis rate were significantly lower, whereas the incidence of ≥Grade Ⅲ myelosuppression was remarkably higher than those in the IFI group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with IFI, ENI can significantly improve the survival for patients with early-stage and cervical and upper-thoracic esophageal cancer receiving definitive IMRT combined with chemotherapy.
