Objective:To compare short-term clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction between robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) and conventional THA.Methods:Patient data of unilateral primary THA with the same prosthesis by the same operator due to osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and other diseases in Peking University Third Hospital from September 2019 to February 2022 was retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into robot-assisted THA group and conventional THA group according to surgical methods. The preoperative general data, operation time, intraoperative complications and other intraoperative data were collected. Anteroposterior X-ray of pelvis and cross-table X-ray of hip were taken. Main outcome measures consisted of total blood loss, blood transfusion rate, hospitalization stay, postoperative complications, and the inclination and anteversion angle of the acetabular cup, while the dislocation rate outside the Lewinnek and Callanan safe zone was also analyzed. Other outcomes measures included visual analogue scale, Harris score, quality of life score (QOL) and satisfaction score.Results:There was no significant difference in gender, age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), operation side, preoperative blood volume and Harris score between the two groups ( P>0.05); Loosening of positioning screws occurred in 2 patients due to osteoporosis in robot-assisted THA group, so conventional THA was performed. Therefore, 84 cases in robot-assisted THA group and 87 cases in conventional THA group were enrolled in this study at last. There was no significant difference in follow-up time between conventional THA group and robot-assisted THA group (19.7±6.8 months vs. 18.6±5.4 months, t=1.16, P=0.249); The operation time of robot-assisted THA group was longer than that of conventional THA group (106.99±31.91 min vs. 73.79±29.48 min, t=7.07, P<0.001), but there was no significant difference in hospitalization stay between conventional THA group and robot-assisted THA group (6.40±2.40 d vs. 6.49±1.95 d, t=0.26, P=0.796). There was also no significant difference in total blood loss and blood transfusion rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in inclination angle (38.79°±6.93° vs. 39.41°±3.01°, t=0.58, P=0.449) and anteversion angle (14.81°±6.49° vs. 13.33°±4.32°, t=3.06, P=0.082) between conventional THA group and robot-assisted THA group, while the percentage in Lewinnek safe zone (96.4% vs. 73.6%, χ 2=15.60, P<0.001) and Callanan safe zone (92.9% vs. 65.5%, χ 2=17.61, P<0.001) was significantly higher in conventional THA than that of robot-assisted THA. There were no significant differences in postoperative VAS, Harris score and QOL score between the two groups ( P>0.05), but the excellent and good rate of Harris score of conventional THA group was lower than that of robot-assisted THA group (83.91% vs. 95.24%, χ 2=5.83, P=0.016); The overall satisfaction of patients in robot-assisted THA group was better than that in conventional THA group ( Z=-3.47, P=0.001), and 95.2% (80/84) of patients in robot-assisted THA group were very satisfied, which was higher than that in conventional THA group (75.86%, 66/87). The satisfaction of patients in robot-assisted THA group on pain relief ( Z=-2.44, P=0.015) and improvement of leisure activity ( Z=-2.12, P=0.034) was better than that in conventional THA group, but there was no significant difference in the satisfaction of ability of doing house work between the two groups ( Z=-0.49, P=0.626). Conclusion:Compared with conventional THA, robot-assisted THA has longer operation time but better short-term clinical outcomes and higher patient satisfaction after surgery.

Objective·To analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics,gene mutation profile,and prognostic factors of thyroid diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods·From November 2003 to December 2021,a total of 66 patients with thyroid DLBCL[23 cases(34.8%)with primary thyroid DLBCL,and 43 cases(65.2%)with secondary thyroid DLBCL]admitted to Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed for their clinicopathological data,survival and prognostic factors.Gene mutation profiles were evaluated by targeted sequencing(55 lymphoma-related genes)in 40 patients.Results·Compared to primary thyroid DLBCL,secondary thyroid DLBCL had advanced ratio of Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ?Ⅳ(P=0.000),elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)(P=0.043),number of affected extranodal involvement≥2(P=0.000),non-germinal center B cell(non-GCB)(P=0.030),BCL-2/MYC double expression(DE)(P=0.026),and international prognostic index(IPI)3?5-scores(P=0.000).The proportion of patients who underwent thyroid surgery(P=0.012)was lower than that of patients with primary thyroid DLBCL.The complete remission(CR)rate in primary thyroid DLBCL patients was higher than that in secondary thyroid DLBCL patients(P=0.039).Fifty-five patients(83%)received rituximab combined with cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin,vincristine,and prednisone(R-CHOP)-based first-line regimen.The estimated 5-year progression free survival(PFS)rate of primary thyroid DLBCL patients was 95.0%,higher than the 49.7%of the secondary patients(P=0.010).Univariate analysis showed that Ann Arbor Ⅲ?Ⅳ(HR=4.411,95%CI 1.373?14.170),elevated LDH(HR=5.500,95%CI 1.519?19.911),non-GCB(HR= 5.291,95%CI 1.667?16.788),and DE(HR=6.178,95%CI 1.813?21.058)were adverse prognostic factors of PFS in patients with thyroid DLBCL.Ann Arbor Ⅲ?Ⅳ(HR=7.088,95%CI 0.827?60.717),elevated LDH(HR=6.982,95%CI 0.809?60.266),and DE(HR=18.079,95%CI 1.837?177.923)were adverse prognostic factors of overall survival(OS).Multivariate analysis showed that Ann Arbor Ⅲ?Ⅳ(HR=4.693,95%CI 1.218?18.081)and elevated LDH(HR=5.058,95%CI 1.166?21.941)were independent adverse prognostic factors of PFS in patients with thyroid DLBCL.Targeted sequencing data showed mutation frequency>20%in TET2(n=14,35%),KMT2D(n=13,32%),TP53(n=11,28%),GNA13(n=10,25%),KMT2C(n=9,22%),and TP53 were adverse prognostic factors of PFS in patients with thyroid DLBCL(P=0.000).Conclusion·Patients with primary thyroid DLBCL have better PFS and OS than those with secondary thyroid DLBCL.Ann Arbor Ⅲ?Ⅳ,elevated LDH,non-GCB,and DE(MYC and BCL2)are adverse prognostic factors in thyroid DLBCL.TET2,KMT2D,TP53,GNA13,and KMT2C are commonly highly mutated genes in thyroid DLBCL,and the prognosis of patients with TP53 mutations is poor.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in molecular subtyping of triple-negative breast cancer. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and imaging data of 227 breast cancer patients who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT examination in the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2022. Based on the expression levels of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) in the primary breast cancer, the patients were categorized into two groups: triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-TNBC. Radiomic features were extracted from images of both groups, and a radiomic model was constructed to predict the molecular subtype of the TNBC groups. In addition, the clinical data, CT morphological features, and PET metabolic parameters of both groups were compared to determine the indicators with statistically significant differences and develop a comprehensive radiomic model combined with clinical characteristics. Results:Compared to the non-TNBC group, the TNBC groups exhibited more significant invasiveness in terms of tumor diameter, margins, ipsilateral axillary lymph node metastasis, invasion of neighboring skin or papillae, and PET metabolic parameters ( t = -3.19; χ2 = 7.30, 8.10, 5.34; t = 3.80, 3.30, 3.42, P < 0.05). The constructed 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomic model proved effective in predicting the molecular subtype of the TNBC group, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.83 (95% CI 0.78-0.88), an accuracy of 75.9%, a sensitivity of 74.5%, and a specificity of 77.2%. In contrast, the constructed comprehensive radiomic model displayed an AUC of 0.86 (95% CI 0.81-0.90), an accuracy of 77.2%, a sensitivity of 78.6%, and a specificity of 75.9%. Conclusions:18F-FDG PET/CT plays an important role in predicting molecular subtypes of TNBC. The constructed radiomic model and comprehensive radiomic model can further enhance the prediction efficacy of PET metabolic parameters and accelerate the development of accurate treatment protocols in clinical practice, thus improving the prognosis of breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, gene mutation profile, and prognostic factors of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in female genital tract.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinicopathological data of 30 patients with female genital tract DLBCL who were admitted to Rui Jin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from October 2003 to October 2021. Targeted sequencing was used to detect 55 lymphoma-related genes, and the gene mutation status of patients was evaluated. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and prognostic factors were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards model.Results:The median age of 30 female genital tract DLBCL patients at diagnosis was 58 years old (23-77 years old). The initial symptoms mainly included abdominal pain, distension, and masses (8 cases, 32%). Tumors most commonly located in the adnexal region (including ovaries and fallopian tubes) (13 cases, 45%), of which 9 cases were unilateral. Twenty-one cases (70%) had multiple extra-nodal involvements, 22 cases (73%) had Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, 8 cases (27%) had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of ≥2, and 22 cases (73%) had elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), 21 cases (70%) had International Prognostic Index (IPI) score of 3-5. Within 30 patients, 11 patients (37%) received surgery, and all patients received R-CHOP regimen-based chemotherapy. All 30 cases were evaluated for efficacy, the complete remission rate was 83% (25/30), the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 69.7%, and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 79.6%. Univariate analysis showed that ECOG score ≥2 was associated with worse OS ( P = 0.048). Among the 30 patients, 7 patients (23%) were primary and 23 patients (77%) were secondary. The proportions of patients with Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, IPI score 3-5 and elevated LDH in secondary patients were higher than those in primary patients (all P < 0.001), but there were no significant differences in PFS and OS between the two ( P values were 0.261 and 0.671). The targeted sequencing results of 16 patients showed that the mutation rates of PIM1, MYD88, KMT2D, TP53, CARD11, CCND3 and GNA13 were all > 20%, and TP53 mutation was associated with poorer PFS and OS ( P values 0.012 and 0.002). Conclusions:Female genital tract DLBCL is a rare invasive extranodal DLBCL with similar survival prognosis in primary and secondary patients. High-frequency mutations of PIM1, MYD88 and TP53 genes may provide new directions for treatment.
