Objective:To compare the changes in fracture displacement under different vertical loadings between the 2 different internal fixation modalities for vertically unstable femoral neck fractures of Pauwels type Ⅲ by a mechanical study and a finite element analysis.Methods:Twelve biomimic bones were transversely dissected from 10 cm below the lesser trochanter of the femur to create femoral neck fracture models with a Pauwels angle of 70° using a swing saw. The models were equally divided into 2 groups ( n=6): group A was fixed with 3 cannulated screws after fracture reduction (scheme A), and group B with 3 cannulated screws plus a self-designed anteromedial support plate after fracture reduction (scheme B). Continuous vertical force was applied using a mechanical testing machine. Changes in displacement were recorded and load-displacement curves were plotted. One volunteer (female, 28 years old, 168 cm in height and 65 kg in weight) was selected for finite element analysis of her CT images of both lower limbs to examine the maximum displacement and the maximum Mises stress in scheme A and scheme B respectively. Results:In groups A and B respectively: All the 6 biomimic mimetic bones had similar load and displacement curves, and similar fracture displacements (Dx) at different loading points (N X); the curves of 6 biomimic bones were highly fitted with S-shaped curve equation (the r-square value was close to 1). At the initial loading stage (0 N0.05). When the load was 100 N

Objective:To share our experience of single-port transoral Da Vinci robotic surgery for laryngeal and pharyngeal benign tumors.Methods:Three patients aged over 18 years and diagnosed respectively with epiglottic cyst, aryepiglottic fold cyst and thyroglossal duct cyst at tongue base were included who received operations in Hainan Hospital of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (Boao Research Hospital of Hainan) between August 1, 2023 and April 10, 2024. There were 1 male and 2 females, with an average age of 59 years old. The clinical diagnosis of these 3 patients was respectively epiglottic cyst, aryepiglottic fold cyst and thyroglossal duct cyst at tongue base. Intraoperative conversion rate, blood loss, operation time, hospital stay, pain score and swallowing function score were analyzed.Results:All three patients successfully underwent the operations with the single-port Da Vinci robotic system. The clean-contaminated resection rate of the tumors was 100%. The conversion rate was nil. The blood loss was 0-7 ml. The operation time was 5-30 minutes. There were no adverse events such as loosening of teeth and soft tissue abrasions of pharyngeal side wall. The rate of oral feeding within 24 hours after surgery was 100%. No postoperative coughing, bleeding, or dyspnea occurred. The average length of hospital stay was 3.7 days. The VAS score decreased 3 days after surgery compared to 1 day after surgery. The swallowing function recovered 1 month after surgery.Conclusion:The single-port transoral robotic surgery for laryngeal and pharyngeal benign lesions is safe and efficient, with fewer complications.

Objective:To summarize experience of managing adult Langerhans cell histiocytosis(LCH) in hypothalamic-pituitary region(HPR) from Shanghai Huashan Hospital.Methods:Adult HPR-LCH patients diagnosed at oar endocrinology department from January 2013 to February 2022 were included. Clinical characteristics and treatment response were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 27 adult HPR-LCH patients were included, with 14 cases involving the hypothalamus(H group) and 13 cases without(group NH). The common radiological findings included thickening of the pituitary stalk(25/27, 92.6%). At the time of diagnosis, 14 cases(51.9%) presented with panhypopituitarism, and 19 cases(70.4%) exhibited metabolic abnormalities. The group H had higher proportions of adrenal insufficiency, central hypothyroidism, panhypopituitarism, and diabetes compared to group NH(78.6% vs 23.1%; 78.6% vs 23.1%; 92.9% vs 30.8%, 35.7% vs 0%, respectively, all P<0.05). Hypothalamus syndrome was identified in 71.4%(10/14) of group H. The inital diagnosis rate was 79.2%(19/24), with 48.1% and 51.9% through biopsy of sellar and extrasellar lesions, respectively. Repeated biopsies confirmed the diagnosis in 25.9%(7/27) of cases. The peripheral lesions included bone, thyroid, lung, lymph node, thymus and liver. Out of 20 cases treated with chemotherapy, the objective response rate was 85% at 12 weeks. Four cases received local therapy, one case received traditional Chinese medicine treatment, one case abandoned treatment, and one case was lost to follow-up. The median follow-up time was 28(range 15 to 54) months. During this period, there were 3 deaths in group H and 1 death in group NH. Conclusion:Adult HPR-LCH patients presented with diabetes insipidus and high prevalences of hypopituitarism, hypothalamus syndrome and metabolic abnormalities. Typical imaging features were pituitary stalk thickening. A solitary mass in the HPR was usually very small, posing a great challenge for early diagnosis. Systemic evaluation would help to clarify the diagnosis. Patients with hypothalamus involvement had a higher mortality rate, suggesting the hypothalamus as a risk organ with poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the social support needs of medical staff in Guangzhou during the post-COVID-19 period,providing a basis for relevant departments to offer targeted social support for medical staff in Guangzhou and improve their of occupational quality of life.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted,employing a combination of quota and conven-ience sampling to select subjects,eligible medical staff were invited to complete an online questionnaire.Results The social sup-port with a total score of 20 for medical staff in Guangzhou scored 9(7,11).Among the dimensions of social support,media sup-port scored the lowest.Social support as a whole scored with statistically significant differences across groups of different age,ed-ucational background,and job position(all P＜0.05).The median score was the lowest for those under 25 years,for those with a college degree or below,and highest among administrative staff,with other positions showing equal median score.The five di-mensions of social support ranked on the top concerning the total number of the respondents included patients'understanding and trust for medical staff(93.03％),increasing in salaries and benefits(86.06％),accurate policy promotion and public opinion guidance by media(83.41％),attention to the living conditions of medical staff by media(80.29％),and enhanced regulation of false reporting and inappropriate commentary by media(76.92％).Medical staff under the age of 25 had a high need for pa-tients'following doctor's advice,and medical staff with a collegiate degree or below had a high need for family members or friends to care about their physical and mental health.The five strongest needs for social support ranked on the top concerning the total number of respondents included understanding and trust from patients(75.72％),increased salaries and benefits(53.85％),assistance with household matters by family or friends(42.55％),correct policy promotion and public opinion guidance by media(34.62％),and attention to the living conditions of medical staff from media(33.41％).Conclusion Social support for medical staff in Guangzhou are at a relatively low level,indicating a need for social support from all levels of society.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.

Recurrent hydatidiform moles refer to patients with at least two molar pregnancies. Mutations in NLRP7 and KHDC3L genes have been implicated in this disease. A pedigree with a history of recurrent hydatidiform mole who visited Tianjin Medical University General Hospital Reproductive Medicine Center, was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the family member were collected, peripheral blood samples were taken from each member. Whole exon sequencing was carried out for the proband. Candidate genes were validated by Sanger sequencing of her family members. The whole exome sequencing showed that the proband had a homozygous mutation of c.2282G>A (p.Cys761Tyr) in the NLRP7 gene, the Sanger sequencing results were consistent with the results. Sanger sequencing results verified that the parents and her sisters carried heterozygous mutations. The proband obtained a clinical pregnancy through egg donation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Therefore, homozygous mutation of NLRP7 gene c.2282G>A (p.Cys761Tyr) is the genetic cause of recurrent hydatidiform mole. The discovery of this mutation broadens the spectrum of NLRP7 gene pathogenic variants and provide fertility guidance for such patients.

Objective:To explore the parameters of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) on the occurrence of de novo chromosomal abnormalities in preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) cycles. Methods:A retrospective analysis control study was performed on 70 PGT-SR cycles and 39 preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic (PGT-M) embryos in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Reproductive Medicine Center of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2023 to August 2024. The correlation between de novo chromosomal abnormalities and ovarian stimulation protocol, duration and total dosage of gonadotropin (Gn) used, estradiol and progesterone levels on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) trigger day in COS were analyzed. Results:1) Biopsies were performed on 341 blastocysts in the PGT-SR group and 196 blastocysts in the PGT-M group. There was a significant difference in aneuploid rate of blastocyst between PGT-SR and PGT-M groups [62.1% (205/330) vs. 30.2% (58/192), P<0.001]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of de novo chromosomal abnormalities, between PGT-SR and PGT-M groups ( P>0.05). 2) After adjusting for couples' age and blastocyst grade, there were no significant differences in the incidence of de novo chromosomal abnormalities among different ovarian stimulation protocols, different duration and total dosage of Gn used, different estradiol and progesterone levels on hCG trigger day (all P>0.05). 3) There were no significant differences the incidence of de novo whole, fragment and complex chromosomal abnormalities among different ovarian stimulation protocols, different duration and total dosage of Gn used, different estradiol and progesterone levels on hCG trigger day (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Different ovarian stimulation protocols, duration and total dosage of Gn used, estrogen and progesterone levels on hCG trigger day don't affect the whole de novo chromosomal abnormalities, de novo whole, fragment, complex chromosomal abnormalities in patients with structural chromosomal abnormalities.
