Liposuction abdominoplasty is a prevalent procedure in plastic surgery, with common complications including infection and bleeding. However, cases leading to intestinal rupture accompanied by extensive abdominal wall infection are extremely infrequent. One such case was reported in this article. The patient was a 37-year-old female who developed symptoms of abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever after undergoing liposuction abdominoplasty at another hospital. She was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University on October 27, 2023. CT scan revealed a right lower abdominal wall hernia, intestinal obstruction, and abdominal wall infection. Intra-operative exploration demonstrated that a portion of the ileum had herniated subcutaneously, with multiple small perforations. There was also widespread soft-tissue infection in the subcutaneous area, along with partial skin necrosis. Emergency surgery was performed to repair the ruptured intestine. Biological dressing were used to cover and protect the exposed intestinal wall and the defective abdominal wall. Multiple debridement procedures and vacuum sealing drainage were performed for the extensive subcutaneous soft-tissue infection. Bacterial culture of the drainage fluid indicated Escherichia coli infection, and imipenem-cilastatin was administered for anti-infective treatment. After the infection was controlled, the wound was repaired with local flaps and fascia lata. During the six-month follow-up after discharge, the patient’s general condition remained satisfactory, with normal dietary intake and a well-healed wound. This case report particularly highlights that for patients with a prior history of abdominal surgery should undergo preoperative abdominal CT and other relevant examinations before liposuction to exclude potential risk factors such as incisional hernias and ensure patient safety.

Objective To compare the efficacy and adherence of rivaroxaban versus low-molecular-weight heparin for prophylactic anticoagulation in cancer patients with venous thromboembolism(VTE).Methods A total of 120 intermediate-to-high VTE risk patients with malignant tumors admitted to Depart-ment of Hematology and Oncology,West China Longquan Hospital of Sichuan University between September 2021 and December 2022,were randomly assigned to the rivaroxaban group(n=60)and the low-molecular-weight heparin group(n=60)using the random number table.The rivaroxaban group received oral Rivaroxa-ban,while the low-molecular-weight heparin group received subcutaneous injections of low-molecular-weight heparin sodium for prophylactic anticoagulation.All patients were followed up for 180 days.The primary end-point was medication adherence.The secondary endpoints included the incidence of VTE,bleeding events,and changes in coagulation parameters.Results The rate of good medication adherence was significantly higher in the rivaroxaban group than in the low-molecular-weight heparin group(95.00%vs.88.33%,P<0.05).However,there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of VTE or overall bleeding events between the two groups(P<0.05).Following treatment,parameters including fibrinogen,prothrombin time(PT),and D-dimer levels showed significant improvement from baseline in both groups.Compared to the low-molecular-weight heparin group,the Rivaroxaban group demonstrated significantly higher fibrinogen levels,shorter PT,and lower D-dimer levels(P<0.05).Stepwise logistic regression analysis identified the post-treatment platelet(PLT)count as a significant factor influencing bleeding events during prophylactic antico-agulation(P<0.05).Khorana score≥3(high risk)was identified as a risk factor for bleeding events(P<0.05).The incidence of clinically relevant non-major bleeding(CRNMB)was higher in the rivaroxaban group[11.67%(7/60)]compared to the low-molecular-weight heparin group[8.33%(5/60)],although the differ-ence was not statistically significant(P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier curve analysis revealed no significant difference in the cumulative incidence of bleeding-free events between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Oral ri-varoxaban and subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin demonstrate comparable efficacy and safety for VTE prevention in cancer patients,but rivaroxaban significantly improves patient's adherence.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth>3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

Currently, the teaching work for postgraduates mainly centers on specific disciplines, and there is a lack of effective connection between disciplines, which leads to the insufficient ability of postgraduates in effectively integrating and applying the knowledge of various disciplines and restricts the development of innovation ability. This paper proposes a program for the cultivation of innovation ability of postgraduate students in clinical laboratory diagnostics based on multi-disciplinary integration from the three aspects of curriculum setting, multi-disciplinary interactive platform construction, and tutor team construction, aiming at helping postgraduate students to enhance the ability of knowledge integration and application and form a comprehensive disciplinary perspective. Additionally, the paper explores the practical application and effect of the cultivation program, offering novel insights and approaches for talent cultivation in the realm of clinical laboratory diagnostics.

The oral and maxillofacial region comprises a variety of organs made up of multiple soft and hard tissue,which are anatomically vulnerable to the pathogenic factors of trauma,inflammation,and cancer.The studies of this intricate entity have been long-termly challenged by a lack of versatile preclinical models.Recently,the advancements in the organoid industry have provided novel strategies to break through this dilemma.Here,we summarize the existing biological and engineering approaches that were employed to generate oral and maxillofacial organoids.Then,we detail the use of modified co-culture methods,such as cell cluster co-inoculation and air-liquid interface culture technology to reconstitute the vascular network and immune microenvironment in assembled organoids.We further retrospect the existing oral and maxillofacial assembled organoids and their potential to recapitulate the homeostasis in parental tissues such as tooth,salivary gland,and mucosa.Finally,we discuss how the next-generation organoids may benefit to regenerative and precision medicine for treatment of oral-maxillofacial illness.
