Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of sentinel lymph node dissection in the treatment of early cervical cancer.Methods:This study used a prospective study design. A total of 122 patients with early cervical cancer who received treatment at Jinhua Maternal & Child Health Care Hospital form June 2022 to June 2024 were included in this study. These patients were divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 61/group) using a random number table method. In the observation group, sentinel lymph node resection instead of systematic lymphadenectomy was performed, while in the control group, systematic lymphadenectomy was performed. Perioperative indicators, postoperative lymph node pathology results, complications, and postoperative tumor recurrence rates were compared between the two groups. Additionally, sentinel lymph node imaging results were evaluated in the observation group. Results:After treatment, the surgical time, duration of pelvic drainage tube retention, duration of catheter retention, postoperative hospital stay, number of lymph nodes dissected, and time to postoperative bowel function recovery in the observation group were (178.33 ± 8.29) minutes, (7.19 ± 1.38) days, (11.73±2.57) days, (8.09±1.34) days, (12.48 ± 2.63), and (2.28 ± 0.69) days, respectively. These values were significantly shorter or lower than those in the control group [(239.41 ± 9.83) minutes, (9.74 ± 1.75) days, (12.88 ± 2.76) days, (9.53 ± 1.47) days, (133.27 ± 11.43) mL, (26.18 ± 2.27), (3.12 ± 0.98) days, t = 37.10, 8.94, 2.38, 5.65, 30.80, 5.47, all P < 0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative pathological results between the two groups ( χ2 = 2.03, 0.12, both P > 0.05). The overall incidence of perioperative complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [1.46% (1/61) vs. 8.19% (5/61), χ2 = 5.55, P < 0.05). Conclusions:Sentinel lymph node resection can significantly enhance the perioperative outcomes of patients with cervical cancer and reduce the incidence of complications. Additionally, there were no recurrences of cervical cancer during the follow-up period. Therefore, sentinel lymph node resection is a safe and feasible procedure.

Objective:To analyze different smoking behaviors and their influencing factors of middle school students in Fujian Province in 2021.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study based on the data of the National Tobacco Epidemic Survey in Fujian Province in 2021. A multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to investigate tobacco prevalence among middle school students at 10 monitoring points in Fujian province in 2021. A total of 7 681 subjects were investigated and 7 652 subjects were included in the study. The tobacco prevalence rates of different smoking behaviors were compared and the influencing factors were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results:In 2021, the attempted smoking rate of middle school students in Fujian Province was 15.2%, the current smoking rate was 2.9%, and the regular smoking rate was 1.1%. Among the students with the 14 factors investigated, there were statistically significant differences in smoking behavior rates ( P<0.05). The students with the factor of "good friends smoking" had the highest rate of trying smoking (34.9%) (χ 2=825.65).The students with the factor of " feeling more comfortable with social smoking" had the highest rate of current smoking (16.0%) (χ 2=492.75). The students with the factor of "social smoking makes people more comfortable" had the highest rate of regular smoking (9.0%) ( χ2=334.56) ( P<0.001 for all). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of different smoking behaviors were different. Among them, male students, good friends who smoke, students who think that social smoking makes people more comfortable, and not receiving tobacco control information from the media were common risk factors for middle school students to try smoking, smoke currently and smoke frequently. The most significant risk factors for different smoking behaviors were: (1) Attempted smoking rate: good friends smoking (34.9%, OR=3.402); (2) current smoking rate: good friends smoking (9.9%, OR=9.417); (3) regular smoking rate: social smoking makes people more comfortable (9.0%, OR=18.383). Urban students ( OR=0.666) were the protective factor for trying smoking; general high school ( OR=0.424) was a protective factor for smoking. Conclusions:In 2021, middle school students in Fujian Province have three types of smoking behaviors: try smoking, current smoking and frequent smoking. The common main influencing factors are gender, whether good friends smoke, social smoking makes people more comfortable, and whether they have accepted tobacco control messages from the media.

OBJECTIVES:
To compare the efficacy of toric implantable collamer lens (Toric-ICL) and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) for myopia correction in patients with moderate to high myopia complicated with astigmatism.
METHODS:
We retrospectively collected data from 64 patients (aged 18-42 years) with moderate to high myopia complicated with astigmatism (128 eyes) undergoing either Toric-ICL (28 patients/56 eyes) or FS-LASIK (36 patients/72 eyes) at our department between January, 2019 and December, 2020. The changes of uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA), spherical equivalent (SE), mean astigmatism correction index (CI), corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) and intraocular pressure (IOP) following the procedures were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS:
In FS-LASIK group, all the eyes (72/72) achieved an UCVA≥1.0, similar to the rate in Toric-ICL group (55/56 eyes; P=0.2374). The postoperative SE was also comparable between FS-LASIK and Toric-ICL groups [0.43±0.06 D (range: -1.0 to 1.50 D) vs 0.38±0.05 D (range: -0.75 to 1.00 D); P=0.56]. The mean astigmatism CI was significantly higher in FS-LASIK group than in Toric-ICL group (0.8561 vs 0.7176; P<0.0001), and 88.89% of the eyes in FS-LASIK group and 69.64% in Toric-ICL group had postoperative astigmatism ≤0.50 D. No significant changes were observed in postoperative corneal ECD in FS-LASIK group, whereas ECD decreased significantly after the procedure in Toric-ICL group (P=0.0057). The patients undergoing Toric-ICL exhibited no significant changes of postoperative IOP, but the patients receiving FS-LASIK had significantly reduced IOP after the procedure (P<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
Although the patients included in Toric-ICL group had higher myopia and astigmatism, Toric-ICL still showed better predictability and efficacy for astigmatic correction in Toric-ICL group. Toric-ICL is an effective and safe equivalent of FS-LASIK for correcting moderate myopia but can be more advantageous for correcting high myopia with astigmatism.

Objective:To develop an intelligent recognition and precise segmentation technique using ultrasonic images,and to enhance diagnostic efficiency and accuracy.Methods:A total of 1,430 patients diagnosed with uterine fibroids through transvaginal ultrasonography at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangming from November 2020 to October 2024 were retrospectively included. Ultrasonic images were manually annotated by two experienced physicians and reviewed by a senior expert. The Mask DINO deep learning model was used for lesion segmentation,and the segmentation results were optimized using ellipse fitting technology. Model performance was evaluated using the Dice coefficient,intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC),mean absolute error(MAE),and measurement accuracy.Results:In the test set of 286 cases,the average Dice coefficient of model prediction was 0.992,indicating extremely high segmentation accuracy. The average accuracy of lesion identification by the model was 0.909,with 241 correctly identified samples,19 basically correct samples,and 26 incorrect samples. In terms of long and short axis measurements,the ICC of the model's direct predictions were 0.871(short axis)and 0.784(long axis),with MAE of 0.436 cm(short axis)and 0.508 cm(long axis). After optimization with ellipse fitting,the ICC increased to 0.893(short axis)and 0.866(long axis),and the MAE decreased to 0.191 cm(short axis)and 0.274 cm(long axis),the measurement accuracy improved significantly.Conclusions:The intelligent recognition and precise segmentation technique for uterine fibroids based on ultrasonic images constructed in this study performed excellently in lesion segmentation and measurement,it can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of multiple cytogenetic and molecular genetic techniques in the diagnosing of chromosomal microstructural abnormalities.Methods:The proband was a 30-year-old man. He went to Reproductive Medicine Center of Shenzhen Zhongshan Urology Hospital in July 2021 because of a 7-year history of primary infertility. Chromosome karyotype was analyzed by conventional G-banding technique. One case was found to be suspected of microstructural aberration in X chromosome. The origin and structural characteristics of this X chromosome structural aberration was identified by high-resolution G-banding, copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq), C-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The pregnancy outcome of this case was followed up. Results:Conventional G-banding karyotype of peripheral blood lymphocytes was initially diagnosed as 46, Y, ?inv(X)(p22.3p22.2). The final karyotype of proband was interpreted as 46, Y, der(X) t(X; Y)(p22.3; q12) mat by high-resolution G-banding karyotype analysis, CNV-seq, C-banding analysis and FISH detection. His spouse had conceived singleton pregnancy via in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Prenatal diagnosis had been performed. Karyotype of amniotic fluid was 46, X, der(X) t(X; Y)(p22.3; q12) pat. No structural malformation was detected prenatally by ultrasound. The neonate was phenotypically normal one month after birth. Conclusion:The combined application of multiple cytogenetic and molecular genetic techniques can provide a reliable technical platform for characterizing the microscopic structural aberrations of chromosomes, and an important genetic basis for exploring the phenotype, prognosis and offspring risk of such patients.
