Establishing a one-stop diagnosis and treatment mode centered on patients and linked by diseases is of great significance for optimizing the medical process and improving the medical experience. In March 2024, a tertiary hospital integrated pediatric outpatient and emergency resources, established a pediatric diagnosis and treatment island through reasonable department settings, strengthened talent team construction, optimized diagnosis and treatment processes, and established supporting guarantee mechanisms. It was officially put into use in June of the same year, providing one-stop diagnosis and treatment services for children and achieving the goal of " not leaving the island for minor illnesses and not leaving the hospital for major illnesses". Before the operation of island (January May 2024), the complaint rate and waiting time for pediatric outpatient and emergency department were 39 cases per 100 000 patients and 15 to 30 minutes, respectively; After operation (June August 2024), the complaint rate and waiting time decreased to 17 cases per 100 000 people and 10 to 20 minutes respectively; The average monthly comprehensive income of outpatient and emergency departments increased by 33%. The pediatric diagnosis and treatment island mode could assist in the sustainable high-quality development of pediatrics in hospital, and provide references for optimizing outpatient and emergency department management in other tertiary public hospitals. In the future, we should further enrich the service content of the island and strengthen information technology construction.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypes, molecular features, and differential diagnosis of BAP1 mutated clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) for better understanding this entity.Methods:Clinical data, histological morphology, immunophenotypes and molecular characteristics of 18 BAP1 mutated CCRCC cases diagnosed at the Department of Pathology, the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China from January 2020 to December 2022 were analyzed. The patients were followed up.Results:There were 17 males and 1 female patients, aged from 39 to 72 years, with an average age of 56.3 years. Sixteen patients with primary CCRCC were followed up for an average of 24 months, 7 patients had metastases occurred from 4 to 22 months postoperatively. Thirteen of the 16 patients were alive at the time of the last follow-up while 3 patients died 12, 15, and 20 months after the surgery, respectively. One patient underwent retroperitoneal mass resection, but had lung metastasis 32 months after surgery. One case received cervical tumor resection and died at 22 months after the surgery. Characteristic CCRCC regions were identified in 11 of the 18 cases. The tumor cells were arranged in papillary, alveolar, and large nest patterns. Abundant lymphoid tissue, necrosis, and psammoma bodies were seen. Tumor cells showed abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, and sometimes exhibited rhabdoid differentiation. Round eosinophilic globules were located in the cytoplasm and extracellular matrix. There were 9 cases with WHO/International Society of Urological Pathology grade 3, and 9 cases with grade 4. PAX8 (18/18), carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9, 16/18), CD10 (18/18), and vimentin (18/18) were positive in the vast majority of tumors.TFE3 was expressed in 5 cases, with strong expression in only 1 case. Eighteen cases were all positive for P504s. Twelve cases harbored a BAP1 mutation combined with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) mutation, and 2 cases had mutations in BAP1, VHL and PBRM1 simultaneously. SETD2 mutation was not found in any of the cases.Conclusions:BAP1 mutated CCRCC contained papillary, alveolar, and large nest patterns, eosinophilic cytoplasm, high-grade nucleoli, and collagen globules, with P504s positivity. In practical work, when encountering CCRCC containing these features, pathologists should consider the possibility of BAP1 mutations and conduct related molecular tests.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of oblique overlap anastomosis plus single flap valvuloplasty (OSF) for reconstruction after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy.Methods:The C-shaped seromuscular flap (2.5 × 3.5 cm), which was 2 cm from the top of the remnant stomach, was extracorporeally created on the anterior wall of the remnant stomach. The stomach was opened approximately 1.0 cm above the lower edge of the mucosal flap. Four supporting stitches were sutured around the hole and the right wall of the esophageal stump was incised with a support suture to prevent the linear stapler from entering the submucosa. Liner stapler was inclined to the left side of the esophagus at an angle of about 30 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the esophagus for oblique anastomosis between the dorsal side of the esophagus and the anterior stomach and then esophagogastrostomy was performed with the length of anastomosis was 4 cm. Entry hole was suture with 3 stitches and then the linear stapler was used for closing the entry hole. Finally, the seromuscular flap was closed using barbed sutures.Results:Clinical data of 11 patients with Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma who underwent radical gastrectomy and reconstruction by OSF between January 2022 and May 2023 were retrospectively collected. There were 7 males and 4 females. The average age was (69.9±7.8) years, the BMI was (21.7±7.2) kg/m 2 and the tumor size was (2.1±0.6) cm. OSF reconstruction was successfully completed in all 11 patients. The median operative time was 275 (270-428) minutes, the time for OSF reconstruction was 112 (80-140) minutes, and the blood loss was 50 (20-400) ml. The pathological stage was 0-I in 7 cases and II-III in 4 cases. The patients were fed on the 4th day (4-7 days) and discharged from hospital on the 7th day (6-9 days) after surgery. No patient had gastroesophageal reflux symptoms of grade B and above, and no patient took anti-reflux medicine. Conclusions:OSF is a safe and feasible treatment for Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To assess the occurrence, prognosis and possible early risk factors of jaundice in polytrauma patients.Methods:This study was a single-center, prospective study. Polytrauma patients (age>18 years) admitted to Tongji Trauma Center from October 2020 to January 2023 were enrolled. The patients with liver, biliary tract or pancreatic traumatic injury, previously suffered from chronic liver disease were excluded. The clinical characteristics of patients, laboratory test results, imaging examination results, Injury Severity Score (ISS), Glasgow Coma Score and APACHEⅡ score were collected. The incidence of jaundice, the classification of jaundice or the severity of jaundice after multiple injuries, the mortality rate of polytrauma patients with jaundice, and the early independent risk factors of jaundice in polytrauma were analyzed. The differences between the groups were compared by Student’s t test or χ2 test. The independent risk factors of jaundice were analyzed by Logistic regression analyzed. Results:A total of 742 polytrauma patients were included, 34.09% polytrauma patients were accompanied by jaundice, and the ratio of both moderate and severe jaundice were as high as 32.41%. The main type of jaundice was intrahepatic cholestatic jaundice (47.03%). The mortality rate of polytrauma patients accompanied by jaundice was significantly higher than that of polytrauma patients without jaundice (12.25% vs. 3.47%, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that ISS score ( OR=3.405, 95% CI: 1.962-7.438, P=0.026), plasma lactate ( OR=2.216, 95% CI: 1.203-4.862, P=0.017), interleukin-6 levels ( OR=2.431, 95% CI: 1.424-3.793, P=0.007), the overall duration of parenteral nutrition ( OR=3.011, 95% CI: 1.624-5.041, P=0.022), and the total duration of mechanical ventilation ( OR=3.572, 95% CI: 1.497-4.601, P=0.031) were the early independent risk factors for jaundice in patients after polytrauma. Conclusions:Polytrauma patients are prone to developing jaundice after injury, which is more harmful, especially for intrahepatic cholestatic jaundice after injury. Early identification and early intervention of risk factors associated with jaundice after injury should be strengthened.
