OBJECTIVE:
To discuss the elbow skin fold extension line in Kirschner wire internal fixation of extended supracondylar humeral fractures in children.
METHODS:
The clinical data of 58 children with extended supracondylar fractures of the humerus who met the selection criteria between August 2021 and July 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. In 28 cases, needle placement of medial epicondyle of humerus was performed with the assistance of the elbow skin fold extension line (study group), and 30 cases were assisted by routine touch of the medial epicondyle of the humerus (control group). There was no significant difference in baseline data such as gender, age, side, cause of injury, Gartland type, Kirschner wire configuration, and time from injury to operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). The closed reduction rate, total operation time, time of medial humeral condyle pin placement, fluoroscopy times during medial pin placement, rate of one-time determination of medial entry point, ulnar nerve injury incidence, and fracture healing time were recorded and compared between the two groups. At the same time, the closed reduction rate of patients with the time from injury to operation ≤24 hours and >24 hours was compared. The elbow function was evaluated by Mayo elbow function score.
RESULTS:
The closed reduction rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Among all patients, the closed reduction rate of patients with the time from injury to operation ≤24 hours [73.3% (22/30)] was significantly higher than that of patients >24 hours [42.9% (12/28)] ( χ 2=5.545, P=0.019). The total operation time, medial needle placement time, and fluoroscopy times in the study group were significantly less than those in the control group, and the one-time determination rate of medial needle entry point in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). There were 4 cases of ulnar nerve injury in the control group, and no ulnar nerve injury in the study group, but there was no significant difference in the incidence of ulnar nerve injury between the two groups ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up 6-12 months (mean, 8 months). There was no bone nonunion in both groups, and the fracture healing time of the study group was significantly shorter than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Volkmann ischemic contracture, heterotopic ossification, myositis ossificans, and premature epiphyseal closure were not observed after operation. No complications such as loosening or fracture of Kirschner wire occurred. At last follow-up, the Mayo elbow joint function score was used to evaluate function, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
In the treatment of extended supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children, the elbow skin fold extension line can help to quickly locate the medial epicondyle of the humerus, quickly insert Kirschner wire, and reduce the operation time and trauma.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with stiff-person syndrome (SPS) associated with glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibodies.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, auxiliary examination results, treatment, and prognosis of patients with GAD antibody-related SPS treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2015 to July 2023.Results:A total of 33 patients were included, comprising 26 females (78.8%) and 7 males (21.2%), with an onset age of (42±12) years and a disease duration of 24.0 (10.5, 37.5) months. Two cases (6.1%) were diagnosed with tumors, including 1 case with invasive thymoma and 1 case with small cell lung cancer. The majority of patients (87.9%, 29/33) presented with stiffness of trunk and proximal limb muscles, 42.4% (14/33) of patients exhibited episodic spasm, and 54.5% (18/33) of patients were triggered by stimuli such as sound and light. Babinski or Chaddock reflexes were elicited in 33.3% (11/33) of patients. Some patients (36.4%, 16/33) had concurrent limbic encephalitis/epilepsy or cerebellar ataxia (referred to as complex SPS). The median cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) white blood cell count was 2×10 6/L [quartile: 1×10 6/L, 6×10 6/L; range: (0-30)×10 6/L], with mild elevation in 28.0% (7/25) of patients. Multi-channel surface electromyography in 14 out of 21 cases (66.7%) suggested synchronous contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles in a relaxed state. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score during the acute phase was 4 (3, 4). All patients received treatment with benzodiazepines or baclofen. Thirty patients (90.9%, 30/33) received first-line immunotherapy, 3 patients (9.1%, 3/33) received second-line immunotherapy with rituximab, and 14 (42.4%, 14/33) received mycophenolate mofetil as long-term immunotherapy. The follow-up period was 16 (10, 42) months, with a median best mRS score of 2; 66.7% (22/33) of patients had a favorable functional prognosis (mRS score≤2), and the recurrence rate was 30.0% (9/30). At the last follow-up, the median mRS score was 2, and 53.3% (16/30) of patients had a favorable functional prognosis. Prognosis was not significantly correlated with gender, age, clinical type, or CSF white blood cell level (all P>0.05). Conclusions:SPS is one of the main clinical phenotypes of GAD antibody-related neuroimmune diseases, commonly observed in middle-aged women, and exhibits a chronic progressive course. Only a minority of patients have concomitant tumors. The diagnosis relies on typical symptoms, GAD antibody testing, and electromyography examination. The initial immune therapy yields good results, but the prognosis for recurrent patients is poor.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of facial onset sensory motor neuronopathy (FOSMN) syndrome.Methods:Ten patients diagnosed with FOSMN syndrome in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2012 to December 2022 were included. The clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of patients were analyzed and summarized, and the genetic testing was also performed in these patients.Results:The age of onset was (56.6±6.5) years, and the longest survival duration of disease was 10 years. All patients had numbness around the face and mouth as the first symptom and abnormal blink reflex. A total of 52 sensory nerve conduction nerves were detected, among which 2 median nerves and 2 μlnar nerves showed decreased amplitude of sensory nerve action potential. Needle electromyography showed neurogenic lesions, with both progressive and chronic denervation. Whole exome sequencing identified the heterozygous variant c.272A>C in the exon 4 of the SOD1 gene resulting in the amino acid change p.Asp90Ala in 1 patient. In all patients, the disease progressed relentlessly and eventually led to involvement of respiratory muscle. Conclusion:FOSMN syndrome is characterized by abnormal blink reflex and sometimes abnormal sensory nerve conduction may be shown on electrophysiologic testing.

Objective:To report the clinical characteristics of a case of childhood amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) caused by SPTLC2 c.778G>A (p.Glu260Lys) mutation. Methods:Whole exon sequencing or whole genome sequencing data from 1 936 patients in the ALS cohort of Peking Union Medical College Hospital were screened for SPTLC2 gene mutations. Clinical data, laboratory examination, neurophysiological examination and genetic test results of the proband were collected. Results:Only one 9-year-old male child with SPLTC2 gene mutation was found. He was admitted to the Department of Neurology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital in December 2022 due to"progressive limb weakness for more than 4 years". Physical examination revealed atrophy and fasciculations of the tongue. Weakness of 4 limbs, muscle atrophy, as well as bilateral hyperreflexia, clonus, and Babinski sign were present. Whole genome sequencing indicated that SPTLC2 gene had c.778G>A (p.Glu260Lys) missense mutation, and no other pathogenic mutations of ALS related genes were detected. Sanger sequencing and family verification showed that neither father nor mother carried the mutation, suggesting that it was a de novo mutation. Nerve conduction velocity test showed no abnormalities, and electromyography suggested neurogenic lesions. Neurofilament light chain in cerebrospinal fluid and serum were increased significantly. The patient′s symptoms continued worsening even after oral administration of L-serine. Conclusion:SPTLC2 gene mutation can cause childhood ALS, and further study of its potential pathogenesis is helpful to uncover another potential pathway of ALS and a novel therapeutic target.

Objective:To evaluate the safety of double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis in radical gastrectomy.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, single-arm study was initiated by the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University in June 2021 (CRAFT Study, NCT05282563). Participating institutions included Nanyang Central Hospital, Zhumadian Central Hospital, Luoyang Central Hospital, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan Polytechnic University, First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University, Luohe Central Hospital, the People's Hospital of Hebi, First People's Hospital of Shangqiu, Anyang Tumor Hospital, First People's Hospital of Pingdingshan, and Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) gastric adenocarcinoma confirmed by preoperative gastroscopy;(2) preoperative imaging assessment indicated that R0 resection was feasible; (3) preoperative assessment showed no contraindications to surgery;(4) esophagojejunostomy planned during the procedure; (5) patients volunteered to participate in this study and gave their written informed consent; (6) ECOG score 0–1; and (7) ASA score I–III. Exclusion criteria were as follows: (1) history of upper abdominal surgery (except laparoscopic cholecystectomy);(2) history of gastric surgery (except endoscopic submucosal dissection and endoscopic mucosal resection); (3) pregnancy or lactation;(4) emergency surgery for gastric cancer-related complications (perforation, hemorrhage, obstruction); (5) other malignant tumors within 5 years or coexisting malignant tumors;(6) arterial embolism within 6 months, such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident; and (7) comorbidities or mental health abnormalities that could affect patients' participation in the study. Patients were eliminated from the study if: (1) radical gastrectomy could not be completed; (2) end-to-side esophagojejunal anastomosis was not performed during the procedure; or (3) esophagojejunal anastomosis reinforcement was not possible. Double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis was performed as follows: (1) Open surgery: the full thickness of the anastomosis is continuously sutured, followed by embedding the seromuscular layer with barbed or 3-0 absorbable sutures. The anastomosis is sutured with an average of six to eight stitches. (2) Laparoscopic surgery: the anastomosis is strengthened by counterclockwise full-layer sutures. Once the anastomosis has been sutured to the right posterior aspect of the anastomosis, the jejunum stump is pulled to the right and the anastomosis turned over to continue to complete reinforcement of the posterior wall. The suture interval is approximately 5 mm. After completing the full-thickness suture, the anastomosis is embedded in the seromuscular layer. Relevant data of patients who had undergone radical gastrectomy in the above 12 centers from June 2021 were collected and analyzed. The primary outcome was safety (e.g., postoperative complications, and treatment). Other studied variables included details of surgery (e.g., surgery time, intraoperative bleeding), postoperative recovery (postoperative time to passing flatus and oral intake, length of hospital stay), and follow-up conditions (quality of life as assessed by Visick scores).Result:[1] From June 2021 to September 2022,457 patients were enrolled, including 355 men and 102 women of median age 60.8±10.1 years and BMI 23.7±3.2 kg/m2. The tumors were located in the upper stomach in 294 patients, mid stomach in 139; and lower stomach in 24. The surgical procedures comprised 48 proximal gastrectomies and 409 total gastrectomies. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 85 patients. Other organs were resected in 85 patients. The maximum tumor diameter was 4.3±2.2 cm, number of excised lymph nodes 28.3±15.2, and number of positive lymph nodes five (range one to four. As to pathological stage,83 patients had Stage I disease, 128 Stage II, 237 Stage III, and nine Stage IV. [2] The studied surgery-related variables were as follows: The operation was successfully completed in all patients, 352 via a transabdominal approach, 25 via a transhiatus approach, and 80 via a transthoracoabdominal approach. The whole procedure was performed laparoscopically in 53 patients (11.6%), 189 (41.4%) underwent laparoscopic-assisted surgery, and 215 (47.0%) underwent open surgery. The median intraoperative blood loss was 200 (range, 10–1 350) mL, and the operating time 215.6±66.7 minutes. The anastomotic reinforcement time was 2 (7.3±3.9) minutes for laparoscopic-assisted surgery, 17.6±1.7 minutes for total laparoscopy, and 6.0±1.2 minutes for open surgery. [3] The studied postoperative variables were as follows: The median time to postoperative passage of flatus was 3.1±1.1 days and the postoperative gastrointestinal angiography time 6 (range, 4–13) days. The median time to postoperative oral intake was 7 (range, 2–14) days, and the postoperative hospitalization time 15.8±6.7 days. [4] The safety-related variables were as follows: In total, there were 184 (40.3%) postoperative complications. These comprised esophagojejunal anastomosis complications in 10 patients (2.2%), four (0.9%) being anastomotic leakage (including two cases of subclinical leakage and two of clinical leakage; all resolved with conservative treatment); and six patients (1.3%) with anastomotic stenosis (two who underwent endoscopic balloon dilation 21 and 46 days after surgery, the others improved after a change in diet). There was no anastomotic bleeding. Non-anastomotic complications occurred in 174 patients (38.1%). All patients attended for follow-up at least once, the median follow-up time being 10 (3–18) months. Visick grades were as follows: Class I, 89.1% (407/457); Class II, 7.9% (36/457); Class III, 2.6% (12/457); and Class IV 0.4% (2/457).Conclusion:Double and a half layered esophagojejunal anastomosis in radical gastrectomy is safe and feasible.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of the proximal tibial lateral locking plate with rafting screws combined with Jail screws in the treatment of collapse fracture of the lateral tibial plateau.Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed on clinical data of 36 patients with collapse fracture of the lateral tibial plateau admitted to Suqian Hospital of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Group from January 2016 to January 2020, including 19 males and 17 females, aged 34-68 years [(48.6±5.8)years]. Schatzker classification was type II in 28 patients and type III in 8 patients. All patients were treated using the proximal tibial lateral locking plate with raft screws combined with Jail screws. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and fracture healing were detected. The distance of articular surface collapse of the tibial plateau, posterior inclination angle (PSA) of the tibial plateau, tibial plateau varus angle (TPVA) and Rasmussen anatomical score were compared before operation and at day 2 and 1 year after operation. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score was used to evaluate knee function at day 2 and 1 year after operation. Complications were also recorded.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-32 months [(19.5±3.1)months]. The operation time was 56-82 minutes [(68.5±9.1)minutes]. The intraoperative blood loss was 40-100 ml [(75.6±10.2)ml]. The fracture was clinically healed by first-stage, with the healing time of 8 to 15 weeks [(12.5±1.3)weeks]. The distance of articular surface collapse of the tibial plateau was improved from (15.5±4.2)mm before operation to (0.7±0.3)mm at day 2 after operation and (1.0±0.2)mm at 1 year after operation (all P<0.01). The PSA was improved from (21.2±2.1)° before operation to (8.9±0.8)° at day 2 after operation and (9.2±0.6)° at 1 year after operation (all P<0.01). The TPA was improved from (100.2±3.7)° before operation to (88.9±1.8)° at day 2 after operation and (87.2±1.6)° at 1 year after operation (all P<0.05). The Rasmussen anatomical score changed from (7.8±1.8)points before operation to (17.1±0.9)points at day 2 after operation and (16.3±0.7)points at 1 year after operation (all P<0.01). There were no significant difference in the distance of articular surface collapse of the tibial plateau, PSA, TPVA and Rasmussen anatomical score at day 2 and 1 year after operation (all P>0.05). The HSS score was (92.8±3.2)points at 1 year after operation, significantly higher than (74.8±3.5) points at day 2 after operation ( P<0.01). Two patients sustained superficial wound infection after operation, which healed after debridement and dressing change. No deep infection occurred. Conclusion:For patients with collapse fracture of the lateral tibial plateau, the proximal tibial lateral locking plate with rafting screws combined with Jail screws can effectively prevent secondary collapse of the articular surface and obtain satisfactory anatomical reduction, good functional recovery and few postoperative complications.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of minimally invasive reduction through a bone tunnel combined with Jail screwing and those of posterolateral locking plating in the treatment of simple posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the data of 48 patients who had been operatively treated and completely followed up at Department of Orthopedics, Suqian Hospital of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Group for simple posterolateral tibial plateau fractures from October 2016 to October 2020. There were 26 males and 22 females, aged from 35 to 68 years. They were divided into a minimally invasive group (25 cases subjected to minimally invasive reduction through a bone tunnel combined with Jail screwing) and an incision group (23 cases subjected to posterolateral locking plating) according to their surgical methods. The operation time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, cumulative fluoroscopy time, hospital stay and posterior inclination angles of the tibial plateau and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee function scores at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after operation were compared between the 2 groups. Complications in the 2 groups of patients were recorded.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). The 48 patients were followed up for 12 to 36 months (average 16.5 months). The minimally invasive group was significantly better than the incision group in operation time [(42.6±9.1) min versus (65.7±11.5) min], incision length [(4.0±0.4) cm versus (15.0±1.5) cm], intraoperative blood loss[(22.6±5.8) mL versus (31.5±8.8) mL], hospital stay [(7.6±1.4) d versus (11.1±2.4) d], and HSS score one month after operation [(84.8±1.9) points versus (72.9±4.1) points], but the cumulative fluoroscopy time in the incision group [(4.1±1.4) s]was significantly less than that in the minimally invasive group [(22.3±4.2) s] ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in fracture healing time, HSS scores at 3, 6, 9, or 12 months after operation, or posterior inclination angle of the tibial plateau between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). There were no such complications as wound infection, vascular injury, internal fixation failure, nonunion or malunion of fractures in either of the 2 groups. Two cases in the incision group presented with symptoms of common peroneal nerve injury but recovered 3 months after operation. Conclusions:Although both minimally invasive reduction through a bone tunnel combined with Jail screwing and posterolateral locking plating can achieve satisfactory outcomes in the treatment of simple posterolateral tibial plateau fractures, the minimally invasive technique is preferable because it shows the advantages of a smaller incision, less bleeding, shorter operation time, a lower operation risk, quicker postoperative recovery and shorter hospital stay.

BACKGROUND:
Perioperative treatment has become an increasingly important aspect of the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Small-scale clinical studies performed in recent years have shown improvements in the major pathological remission rate after neoadjuvant therapy, suggesting that it will soon become an important part of NSCLC treatment. Nevertheless, neoadjuvant immunotherapy may be accompanied by serious adverse reactions that lead to delay or cancelation of surgery, additional illness, and even death, and have therefore attracted much attention. The purpose of the clinical recommendations is to form a diagnosis and treatment plan suitable for the current domestic medical situation for the immune-related adverse event (irAE).
METHODS:
This recommendation is composed of experts in thoracic surgery, oncologists, thoracic medicine and irAE related departments (gastroenterology, respirology, cardiology, infectious medicine, hematology, endocrinology, rheumatology, neurology, dermatology, emergency section) to jointly complete the formulation. Experts make full reference to the irAE guidelines, large-scale clinical research data published by thoracic surgery, and the clinical experience of domestic doctors and publicly published cases, and repeated discussions in multiple disciplines to form this recommendation for perioperative irAE.
RESULTS:
This clinical recommendation covers the whole process of prevention, evaluation, examination, treatment and monitoring related to irAE, so as to guide the clinical work comprehensively and effectively.
CONCLUSIONS
Perioperative irAE management is an important part of immune perioperative treatment of lung cancer. With the continuous development of immune perioperative treatment, more research is needed in the future to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of perioperative irAE.

Objective:To explore the application effect of mind mapping in the experimental teaching of complete denture for the undergraduates of stomatological technology.Methods:In this study, the undergraduates of stomatological technology in Chongqing Medical University were divided into three groups. They were taught with traditional experimental teaching of complete denture, mind mapping teaching and modified mind mapping teaching respectively. The students' mastery degree were evaluated by experiment examination, theoretical examination and comprehensive examination (a weight to experiment and theoretical examination). SPSS 22.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:The results of one-way ANOVA showed that there were significant differences in experimental examination ( F=99.471, P<0.001) and comprehensive examination ( F=22.909, P<0.001). Dunnett T3 analysis found that the comprehensive examination score of mind mapping group and modified mind mapping group were significantly improved than that of the traditional experimental group ( P<0.001). Conclusion:For the undergraduates who lack of clinical experience, mind mapping can effectively improve students' understanding and mastery of relevant knowledge in complete denture making.
