Background With the aging of China's population, cognitive impairment in the elderly is receiving increasing public attention. Screening and intervention of people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are of great significance to prevent and reduce the occurrence of cognitive impairment. Objective To understand the prevalence and explore potential influencing factors of MCI in the elderly in Songjiang District, Shanghai, and to provide scientific basis for promoting early screening of cognitive impairment and precise intervention of MCI in the elderly in this area. Methods A cross-sectional study design was adopted. From August to October 2022, using multi-stage random sampling, 1800 elderly residents aged 60 years and above were screened for cognitive impairment in 6 neighborhood/village committees in 6 towns in Songjiang District. The survey questionnaires included a sociodemographic questionnaire, a health status and lifestyle questionnaire, the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Prevalence rates of MCI among the elderly by selected social demographic characteristics, health status, and lifestyle were estimated, and potential influencing factors of MCI were evaluated by binary logistic regression. Results A total of 209 elderly residents with MCI and 1591 healthy elderly residents were detected, and the prevalence of MCI in the elderly aged 60 and above was 11.6% in Songjiang District. Being physically active (OR=0.556, 95%CI: 0.399, 0.774) reduced the risk of MCI. Illiteracy (OR=1.810, 95%CI: 1.239, 2.644), primary school education level (OR=3.454, 95%CI: 2.342, 5.092), non-participation in social activities (OR=1.945, 95%CI: 1.360, 2.781), IADL damaged (OR=3.173, 95%CI: 2.137, 4.712), and depression (OR=1.957, 95%CI: 1.112, 3.443) increased the risk of MCI (P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of MCI among the elderly in Songjiang District is lower than the national average. Educational level, physical activity, participation in social activities, IADL, and depression may be the influencing factors of MCI in the elderly. It is recommended to carry out early screening, early detection, and early intervention for cognitive impairment in the elderly. Improving involvement in physical exercise and increasing participation in social activities are encouraged. Special attention should be paid to the needs of vulnerable groups such as low education level and disabled elderly during a community MCI intervention program.

Objective:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of a child with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH).Methods:A case study has been carried out on a boy who had presented at the Inner Mongolia Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital for microcephaly and mental deficiency in September 2022. Prenatal ultrasound images were retrospectively analyzed, and whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were carried out for his family. A literature review was also carried out using keywords such as " ASPM gene", "microcephaly", "prenatal diagnosis", "primary microcephaly", " ASPM", "MCPH5", "MCPH", "autosomal recessive microcephaly", and "prenatal diagnosis on ultrasonography" on the PubMed database, Wanfang Data and China National Knowledge until September 2023. This study was approved by Medical Ethics Committee of the Inner Mongolia Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital (Ethics No. 2021-093-1). Results:The proband had shown progressive reduction in biparietal diameter (BPD) and head circumference (HC) during the fetal period. He was found to harbor compound heterozygous variants of the ASPM gene, which included a paternally derived c. 8044C>T (p.R2682X) and a maternally derived c.8652dup (p.A2885Sfs*35). Both variants were classified as pathogenic (PVS1+ PM2_Supporting+ PP4; PVS1+ PM2_Supporting+ PM3) based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). For other fetuses in his family, prenatal ultrasound and genetic testing were all normal. Literature research has identified 11 relevant articles, which included 14 MCPH cases. All of the MCPH5 cases had shown various degrees of reduced BPD/HC on fetal imaging (100%, 15/15). Developmental delay, intellectual disability, and attention deficits were noted in all survived cases, with one case having seizures (12.5%, 1/8). Their genotypes had included homozygotes (46.2%, 6/13) and compound heterozygotes (53.8%, 7/13) for nonsense variants (45%, 9/20) and frameshifting variants (55%, 11/20). Conclusion:The compound heterozygous variants c. 8044C>T (p.R2682X) and c. 8652dup (p.A2885Sfs*35) of the ASPM gene probably underlay the reduced BPD and HC in this proband with MCPH.

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.

To establish a simple,convenient,sensitive,and specific method for rapid detection of Zi-ka virus(ZIKV),the whole genome sequences of ZIKV isolated from different times and regions were analyzed.The specific primers and probes were designed based on the screened target se-quences located in the conserved region of the ZIKV NS5 gene.By combining RT-LAMP isother-mal amplification technology and immunochromatography technology,a reverse transcription loop mediated isothermal amplification nucleic acid and flow visualization strip(RT-LAMP-VF)detec-tion method for ZIKV was established.The results showed that the method had good specificity and sensitivity.When the ratio of inner,outer,and ring primers(FIP∶LF∶F3)was 4∶2∶1,the detection method can specifically detect 102 copies/pL RNA transcripts or 2.15 pfu ZIKV at 61 ℃for 45 minutes,with no cross reaction with other flaviviruses such as Japanese encephalitis virus and classical swine fever virus.Other RNAs in blood tissue samples did not affect the sensitivity and specificity of RT-LAMP-VF,indicating that the method can be applied to clinical practice.The ZIKV RT-LAMP-VF detection method established in this study is easy to perform and does not require special instruments and equipment.It is particularly suitable for the rapid detection of ZIKV in grassroots units,providing technical support and material support for the establishment of on-site rapid detection and early warning and prediction systems for ZIKV disease.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of reduction and internal fixation of flexion-inversion tibial plateau fractures with a modified two-window and conventional single-window posteromedial inverted L-shaped approach.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 44 patients with flexion-inversion tibial plateau fractures admitted to the Affiliated Changzhou No.2 People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2018 to December 2022, including 22 males and 22 females, aged 31-58 years [(44.4±9.1)years]. Among them, 25 patients were injured on the left side and 19 on the right. A total of 23 patients were treated with the conventional single-window posteromedial inverted L-shaped approach (conventional single-window approach group), while the other 21 with the modified two-window posteromedial inverted L-shaped approach (modified two-window approach group). The length of surgical incision, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and postoperative hospital stay were compared between the two groups. The articular step-offs, medial tibial plateau angles (mTPA), tibial posterior slope angles (PSA), and Rasmussen radiological scores at 3 days, 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were evaluated in the two groups. The visual analogue scale (VAS) scores before surgery, at 7 days and 3 months after surgery, data of extension-flexion motion of the knee joint at 7 days after surgery and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee function scores at 3 and 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups. At the last follow-up, the fracture healing was observed. The postoperative incidence of complications such as thrombosis and poor wound healing was compared between the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-18 months [(15.7±3.2)months]. The operation time of the modified two-window approach group was (121.6±19.2)minutes, significantly shorter than (149.5±22.4)minutes of the conventional single-window approach group ( P<0.01). There were no statistically significant differences in the length of surgical incision, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, or postoperative hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 3 days, 3 months after surgery and at the last follow-up, the articular step-offs of the modified two-window approach group were 0.7(0.5, 0.9)mm, 1.0(0.8, 1.1)mm and 0.9(0.8, 1.0)mm respectively, significantly shorter than 1.0(0.7, 1.2)mm, 1.1(1.0, 1.3)mm and 1.1(0.9, 1.2)mm of the conventional single-window approach group ( P<0.05 or 0.01); the mTPA of the modified two-window approach group was 87.0(86.0, 87.0)°, 87.0(86.0, 87.0)° and 86.0(85.5, 87.0)° respectively, significantly larger than 85.0(84.0, 86.0)°, 85.0(84.0, 86.0)°and 85.0(84.0, 86.0)°of the conventional single-window approach group ( P<0.01); the Rasmussen radiological scores of the modified two-window approach group were (17.0±0.9)points, 16.0(15.0, 17.0)points and 16.0(15.0, 16.0)points respectively, significantly higher than (16.4±1.1)points, 13.0(13.0, 15.0)points and 14.0(13.0, 15.0)points of the conventional single-window approach group ( P<0.05 or 0.01); no significant differences in the PSA were found between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in VAS scores between the two groups before surgery and at 3 months after surgery ( P>0.05), while the VAS score at 7 days after surgery was 3.0(3.0, 3.0)points in the modified two-window approach group, significantly lower than 3.0(3.0, 4.0)points of the conventional single-window approach group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the VAS score at 3 months after surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05). The extension-flexion motion of the knee joint at 7 days after surgery was 90.0(85.0, 95.0)° in the modified two-window approach group, higher than 80.0(75.0, 85.0)° of the conventional single-window approach group ( P<0.01). The HSS knee function score at 3 months after surgery was (67.9±2.8)points in the modified two-window approach group, higher than (66.1±2.7)points of the conventional one-window approach group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the HSS knee function scores at 6 months after surgery and at the last follow-up between the two groups ( P>0.05). At the last follow-up, bone union was observed in both groups. One patient in the conventional single-window approach group developed partial popliteal vein thrombosis, with a complication rate of 4.4% (1/23); while one patient in the modified two-window approach group had poor healing of the incision postoperatively, with a complication rate of 4.8%(1/21) ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the conventional single-window approach, the modified two-window posteromedial inverted L-shaped approach has the advantages of shorter operation time, better reduction quality, early pain relief, and better restoration of knee joint extension-flexion motion and joint function in the reduction and internal fixation of flexion-inversion tibial plateau fractures.
