OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of skin diseases among soldiers performing duties and working in tunnel environments,and to propose targeted pre-ventive and therapeutic measures.METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 537 soldiers from multi-ple sites within a military unit from Nov.2022 to Oct.2023.The survey collected data on general information,liv-ing habits,and details of current skin diseases,including types,symptoms,duration and treatment status.Logis-tic regression analysis was applied to identify risk factors for the skin diseases observed.RESULTS A total of 21 types of skin diseases were identified,with dermatophyte infections being the most prevalent(59.96％,322/537),followed by acne(26.82％,144/537).Further analysis revealed that the incidence of dermatophyte infec-tions was closely associated with the region where the soldiers were stationed[OR(95％CI)=1.694(1.062,2.693),P=0.032]and the frequency of sock washing[OR(95％CI)=1.734(1.023,2.988),P=0.043],but no significant correlation was found between the prevalence of dermatophyte infections and the frequency of washing feet[OR(95％CI)=1.520(0.836,2.824),P=0.175].CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the epidemiological char-acteristics and key risk factors for skin diseases among soldiers in tunnel environments.Targeted prevention strategies are proposed,providing valuable scientific evidence for the prevention and control of skin diseases in similar environments.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) inhibitor and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor in microsatellite stable (MSS) BRAF V600E metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients.Methods:The data and outcomes of mCRC patients with MSS BRAF V600E who received BRAF inhibitor, EGFR inhibitor combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from May 2022 to April 2024 were retrospectively collected.Results:A total of 12 mCRC patients were included in this study, the objective response rate was 50.0%, the disease control rate was 66.7%, and the median disease control time of patients who achieved objective response was 8.0 months. The median progression-free survival was 6.8 months and the median overall survival was 8.4 months. Overall adverse reactions were controllable, the most common treatment-related adverse events were fatigue (8 cases), fever (5 cases), and rash (4 cases). There were no grade 4 adverse event, serious adverse event, and treatment-related death.Conclusion:BRAF inhibitor and EGFR inhibitor combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor show good efficacy and controllable safety in BRAF V600E mCRC patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of hospital-community continuous management based on mobile health and dyadic coping intervention in ileostomy patients and their spouses.Methods:This was a randomized controlled trial. Patients with rectal cancer who underwent ileostomy at Taizhou People′s Hospital between August 2018 and August 2023, along with their spouses, were enrolled. Patient-spouse dyads were randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group using a random number table method. Baseline demographic data were collected from both groups. The control group received routine care, whereas the intervention group was given a hospital-community transitional care program based on mHealth (mobile health) and a dyadic coping model. Stoma adaptation, family functioning, and dyadic coping capacity were evaluated at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. Sedentary behavior time and exercise compliance were also assessed at 1 month and 3 months after surgery.Results:A total of 47 patient-spouse dyads were included in the control group and 48 dyads in the intervention group. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups (all P>0.05). Similarly, no significant differences were found in the age, sex or education level of the spouses (all P>0.05). At 1 week postoperatively, there were no significant differences in family cohesion and adaptability scores between the two groups (all P>0.05). However, at 1 and 3 months postoperatively, the intervention group had significantly higher family cohesion and adaptability scores than the control group (all P<0.05). With regard to dyadic coping capacity, no significant differences were observed in any of the subscale scores of the dyadic coping questionnaire at 1 week postoperatively (all P>0.05). At 1 and 3 months postoperatively, the intervention group scored significantly higher than the control group on stress communication, supportive coping, delegated coping, and joint coping ( P<0.05), but lower on negative coping ( P<0.05). In terms of stoma adaptation, no significant difference was found between the two groups at 1 week postoperatively ( P>0.05). At 1 and 3 months postoperatively, the intervention group showed significantly higher stoma adaptation and exercise compliance scores, as well as shorter sedentary behavior time, compared to the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The hospital-community transitional care program developed by the research team effectively improves family functioning, dyadic coping capacity in ileostomy patient-spouse dyads, and postoperative stoma adaptation and rehabilitation outcomes.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective:To analyze the safety of reduced clinical target volume (CTV) irradiation of suspicious positive lymph nodes in IIa region in patients with N 0-N 1 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and the protective effect of submandibular gland and long-term resting dry mouth, and to explore the diagnostic value of multimodal imaging for suspicious cervical lymph nodes. Methods:Clinical data of T 0-4N 0-1M 0 stage NPC patients admitted to Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from July 2015 to April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical, radiation therapy planning, multimodal imaging and other relevant data were collected. All patients were treated with an optimized regimen of IMRT with a prophylactic radiation dose of 50.4 Gy (named as CTV50) for IIa region. Imaging characteristics and treatment response of suspicious lymph nodes were monitored by MRI, MRI-DWI, PET-CT and repeated enhanced positioning CT, etc. The dosimetry of the submandibular gland between optimized and standard dose plans (CTV50 vs. CTV60) was compared by paired t-test. The long-term dry mouth degree of the patients was evaluated using advanced radiation injury from Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG), Jiangsu Cancer Hospital Multi-dimensional Dry Mouth Evaluation Scale and summated xerostomia inventory (SXI). The difference of dry mouth degree was analyzed by rank-sum test. Results:A total of 106 patients were included in this study, including 149 cervical lymph node negative sides, 73 sides of which had ≤3 recognizable lymph nodes, and 76 of which were>3 in Ⅱa region. Among patients with N 1 stage, 63 patients underwent contralateral single neck area optimization, and 43 patients (N 0 stage and N 1 stage patients with retropharyngeal lymph node metastasis) underwent double-neck area optimization. A total of 109 suspicious lymph nodes with a short diameter of >5 mm were found on the largest cross section, of which 105 had clear portal structure. The ratio of long to short diameter was ≥1.5 in 93 cases, and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) in PET-CT was ≥2.5 in 76 cases. No lymph node recurrence was found in the CTV optimized area. There was no significant difference in the average dose of GTV in tumor target area after optimization ( P>0.05), and the D mean and V 39 Gy in submandibular gland were significantly lower than those in unoptimized plan (both P<0.01). There was no significant difference in long-term dry mouth and resting dry mouth between patients with unilateral and bilateral optimization of submandibular gland (both P>0.05). Conclusions:The optimal program of CTV50 reduction irradiation in Ⅱa area of N 0-N 1 NPC patients is safe and effective. The submandibular gland has obvious dosimetric advantages, and patients have a good subjective response to resting dry mouth. The multimodal imaging tools such as enhanced CT, MRI-DWI and PET-CT should be performed to deliver individual evaluation and treatment for suspicious lymph nodes.

Objective:To investigate the treatment strategy and prognostic factors of nasopharyngeal necrosis after the first radical radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods:Clinical data of 1020 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from January 2013 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Nasopharyngeal necrosis was confirmed by nasopharyngeal MRI, electronic nasopharyngoscopy and biopsy. Patients with nasopharyngeal necrosis were treated with electronic nasopharyngoscope irrigation debridement, combined with systemic anti-infection and nutritional support therapy. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival, and Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between clinical factors and patients' survival.Results:Nasopharyngeal necrosis occurred in 20 cases of 1020 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after the first radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy, with an incidence rate of 1.96%. Odd smell and headache were common in nasopharyngeal necrosis patients. All patients had locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma at initial treatment, including 2 (10%) cases of T 3 stage and 18 (90%) cases of T 4 stage. Nasopharyngeal necrosis occurred in the primary nasopharyngeal lesions. According to the stages of nasopharyngeal necrosis, there were 6 (30%) cases of stage I, 14 (70%) cases of stage II and no stage III. The occurrence time of nasopharyngeal necrosis was from 2 to 24 months after radiotherapy, and the median time was 5 months. All 16 cases of nasopharyngeal necrosis were cured clinically after debridement and irrigation under nasopharyngoscope, systemic anti-infection and symptomatic support treatment. Among them, 9 cases had no necrotic cavity and complete healing and 7 cases had residual necrotic cavity. Four patients died of massive nasopharyngeal hemorrhage or due to the inability to nasopharyngeal irrigation. The 5-year survival rates were 37.5% and 85.7% in patients with and without internal carotid artery involvement ( P=0.008), and 25.0% and 77.8% in patients with and without diabetes mellitus ( P=0.016). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that necrotic lesions involving internal carotid artery ( HR=5.80, 95% CI=1.14-29.38, P=0.034) and diabetes mellitus ( HR=10.24, 95% CI=1.19-88.04, P=0.034) were the influencing factors of overall survival. Conclusions:Nasopharyngoscope irrigation debridement combined with anti-inflammation and nutritional support treatment are effective interventions for nasopharyngeal necrosis after the first radical intensity-modulated radiotherapy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The necrosis involving the internal carotid artery and diabetes mellitus are important factors affecting the survival of patients. Vascular invasion caused by vascular rupture is the main cause of death.

Objective To analyze the very high frequency(VHF)ultrasound features of mixed tumor of the skin(MTS),and to explore the diagnostic value of VHF ultrasound features for MTS.Methods A total of 63 cases of MTS confirmed by surgery and pathology in the Department of Dermatology of Hangzhou Third People's Hospital from January 2019 to March 2024 were selected as observation group,and 63 other benign skin tumors in the same period were used as control group.The VHF ultrasound features of MTS were retrospectively analyzed and summarized,and the diagnostic efficiency of VHF ultrasound features for MTS was evaluated.Results Compared with other benign skin tumors,there were no significant differences in the length diameter,transverse diameter,aspect ratio,presence or absence of calcification,cystic disease,blood flow grade and resistance index between two groups(P＞0.05).However,MTS had a more obvious pseudo-capsule,and most of the internal echoes were not uniform,and the posterior side was accompanied by a enhancing effect,and the blood flow was dominated by marginal blood flow,and the difference between two groups was obvious(P＜0.05).The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the combination of pseudo capsule,internal echo,marginal flow and peripheral enhancement had the highest diagnostic efficacy,with an area under the curve of 0.772,a sensitivity of 77.8％ ,and a specificity of 71.4％ .Conclusion MTS have specific VHF ultrasound features,which can provide more assistance in the clinical diagnosis of MTS.
