Cervical carcinoma has brought huge burden on patients, especially in developing countries. Preventive vaccines could effectively reduce the incidence of cervical carcinoma. The high prices were one of the most difficult problem in introducing the vaccine in developing countries, so the cost-effectiveness and health financing of the vaccines should be carefully studied before incorporated into the national immunization program. Thus, researchers used mathematical models to predict the effects of HPV vaccines and to study the cost- effectiveness. In order to understand the current situation on the cost-effectiveness of HPV vaccines in the developing countries, a systematic searching of literature from PubMed, Elsevier Science Direct, Medline, ProQuest, CNKI and Wangfang Data was performed, this study aims to conduct a systematic review from aspects of project source, first author, research areas, research perspectives, prevention strategies, vaccine characteristics, cost-effectiveness.

OBJECTIVETo study morphology feature of mandibular anatomical characteristics and mandibular nerve canal of hemimandibular elongation (HE) using CT, and provide reference for the clinical treatment.

METHODS19 patients with HE were scanned using multidetector CT. Mimics 10.0 software was used for three-dimensional reconstruction, and CT images were reconstructed on different sections. The position of mandibular nerve canal, mandibular foramen and thickness of mandibular cortical bone were measured, and compared with control group (without mandibular lesion).

RESULTSCompared with the control group, the distance between mandibular nerve canal and mandibular surface were statistically different at the section of long axis of mandibular first molar centre (LAMFM)-lingual, long axis of mandibular second molar centre (LAMSM)-buccal, LAMSM-superior, retromolar area centre to the mandibular angle (RAC-MA)-buccal, RAC-MA-superior, RAC-MA-inferior and horizontal level of mandibular foramen under 5 mm (HLMFU5)-lingual, HLMFU5-anterior, HLMFU5-posterior (P<0.05); the thickness of mandibular cortical bone were statistically different at the LAMFM-buccal, LAMFM-inferior (P<0.05); lowest point of mandibular foramen (LPMF)-superior border of mandibular ramus (SBMR) and LPMF-inferior border of mandibular ramus (IBMR) were statistically different (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONIn the patients with hemimandibular elongation, the thickness of mandibular cortical bone gradually decreases in all directions from the mandibular first molar to the mandibular ramus. Compared with the control group, mandibular nerve canal located buccally and superiorly at mandibular second molar and retromolar area, mandibular foramen located more anterior and lower inside mandibular ramus.

At present, hepatic encephalopathy has a relatively high mortality and thus greatly affects patients’ quality of life. This article describes the changes of intestinal flora in patients with hepatic encephalopathy and analyzes the mechanism of action of intestinal flora in hepatic encephalopathy and related treatment methods. It is pointed out that the development of hepatic encephalopathy is closely associated with intestinal flora, and clinical treatment by regulating intestinal flora has achieved a marked effect in patients with hepatic encephalopathy. In the future, the research on intestinal flora in patients with hepatic encephalopathy can be deepened to provide better regimens for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy.

As a novel form of programmed cell death different from cell necrosis, apoptosis, and autophagy discovered in recent years, pyroptosis is characterized by cell membrane rupture and release of cell contents and proinflammatory factors mediated by gasdermin, thus leading to cell death. Pyroptosis signaling pathways can be classified into classical pathways dependent on caspase-1 and non-classical pathways dependent on caspase-4/5/11; the activation of caspase-1 in classical pathways depends on the function of inflammasome, while the direct activation of caspase-4/5/11 is observed in non-classical pathways, which leads to the lysis of gasdermin D and induce the formation of membrane pores, the maturation and release of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18, and the rupture of cell membrane to cause pyroptosis. Latest research has shown that pyroptosis plays an important role in the development and progression of chronic liver diseases. This article introduces the mechanism of pyroptosis and summarizes the role of pyroptosis in the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, in order to provide new ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases in clinical practice.

Objective To study the relativity between imageology and pathology during lung cancer,and estimate whether the lung cancer is preinvasive lesions,which can support evidences for the operation methods.Methods Clinical data of 624 patients who were diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma and had solitary pulmonary nodule(diameter≤3 cm) were collected,all of them were scanned by thin layer CT scan(1 mm).The correlation between imageology and pathology data were analyzed.Results In 125 cases of GGO,the ratio of invasive lesions were 0 (0/72),6.1％ (3/49) and 100％ (4/4) in stage T1a,T1b and T1c respectively.In 285 cases of mGGO,if solid component was less than 0.5 cm,the ratio of invasive lesions were 1.7％ (1/58),6.9％ (2/29) and 50.0％ (2/4) in stage T~,T1b and Tic;but the ratio of invasive lesions were 81.3％ (13/16),94.1％ (96/102) and 97.4％ (74/76) respectively when the solid component was more than 0.5 cm.In 214 cases with solid nodules,the ratio of invasive lesions were 87.1％ (27/31),98.8％ (84/85) and 99.0％ (97/98) in stage T1 a,T1b and T1c.Conclusion The ratio of invasive lesions and solid component increased gradually along with the growing of tumor diameter in stage T1 lung cancer.CT imaging was highly correlated with the pathology diagnosis of preinvasive lesions and invasive lesions,which can be used as the guidance for operation methods.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of using free bilateral anterolateral thigh flaps(ALTF) in series to repair large area soft tissue defects of forearm.Methods:The clinical data of 11 patients with large soft tissue defects of forearm admitted in the Department of Plastic(Repair and Reconstruction) Surgery, Lishui Hospital of Zhejiang University from March 2014 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 8 males and 3 females. Aged 36 to 68 years old, with an average of 48 years old. VSD treatment was performed after debridement, and until fresh removed 3 to 5 days after the operation. Until the wound was fresh. The wound was repaired with free bilateral ALTF in series until fresh. The size of the forearm wound was 18 cm×15 cm-28 cm×13 cm. The cut area of a single flap was 10 cm×8 cm-20 cm×13 cm. The series of bilateral flaps: One of the flaps was used as the proximal flap, and its vascular pedicle was anastomosed with the arteries and veins of the recipient area. The other flap was used as the distal flap, and the arteries and veins between the 2 ALTFs on both sides were anastomosed. The vascular pedicle beyond the distal flap was ligated or anastomosed to the distal end of the ulnar artery or the distal end of the radial artery. The flap and the surrounding skin of the recipient area were sutured immediately. The donor sites of the flap was closed directly. Periodic and regular outpatient follow-up was performed after operation and the clinical efficacy was analyzed.Results:All the flaps successfully survived after the surgery. The postoperative follow-up lasted for 6-18 months, 12 months in average. The flaps survived well with good soft texture, without swelling, the capillary reaction time was normal, without surface ulceration, in rosy colour and restored protective sensations. The hand function of the affected limb recovered well. The wound at donor sites healed well without complications. At the last follow-up, the hand function of the affected limb was evaluated by the Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, the result was 7 in excellent and 4 in good. The patients were satisfied with the flap and the therapeutic effect.Conclusion:The free bilateral ALTF in series can be used to repair a wound surface with large area, and the donor site can be closed at the same time. It is an effective method to repair large soft tissue defect of forearm.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of definitive chemoradiotherapy(dCRT) in esophageal cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis of 18 consecutive cases ofsalvage esophagectomy after dCRT by the single operation groupin department of Thoracic surgery,Shanghai chest hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from December 2014 to March 2017.Results 16 males and 2 females.There were 6 cases and 12 cases of recurrent and persistent tumor after dCRT respectively.All the patients were treated with McKeown operation stytle combing thoracic and abdominal lymph nodes dissection.Esophagus was replaced by stomach of 15 cases and colon of 3 cases respectively.Radical resection (R0) was performed in 12 cases,palliative resection (R2) in 6 cases.There were 4 cases of pathological complete response (pCR).The incidence of postoperative complications was 11 cases,including 6 cases of pulmonary infection,4 cases of anastomotic leak,2 cases of incision infection,one case of respiratory insufficiency,one case of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis,one case of chylothorax,one case of aortic bleeding caused by empyema.One patient died in perioperative period because of aortic bleeding due to empyema.The follow-up period was from 2 to 26 months,and the median follow-up time was 9 months.There were 13 patients survived and 5 patients died at the last follow-up date including one death in perioperative period,2 cases died of local-regional recurrence and metastasis respectively.Conclusion Salvage esophagectomy is a treatment option for the recurrent or persistent disease after dCRT,but the incidence of postoperative complications is high.Accurate clinical staging is especially important after dCRT and ycT4,ycN + patientsshould be avoided.R0 resection and recurrence after long disease free period are favorable prognostic factors.

The development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have complex potential mechanisms. The traditional “two-hit” pathophysiological theory has been challenged, and in recent years, an increasing number of studies have been performed to investigate the interaction between insulin resistance, adipokines, and other unknown pathogenic factors in various organs. This article summarizes the factors of the liver, intestinal tract, hypothalamus, and extracellular cysts, as well as genetic factors, with an emphasis on the synergistic mechanism of action of the liver and extrahepatic organs in the pathogenesis of NAFLD, in order to provide a reference for obtaining new insights into NAFLD regulatory network and determining new targets for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.
