With the integration of 5G communication technology and robotic surgical systems, remote robot-assisted thoracic surgery is overcoming geographical barriers, offering an innovative approach to addressing the uneven distribution of medical resources. This study conducted a systematic literature review—using databases such as PubMed and CNKI, with the search period extending up to 2025—incorporating clinical studies, case reports, and review articles to comprehensively evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 5G-enabled remote robot-assisted thoracic surgery (5G-RRATS). The analysis also examined current technological limitations and potential future development trajectories. Existing evidence indicates that, given adequate technical support, 5G-RRATS can achieve perioperative outcomes comparable to those of conventional local robotic surgeries across procedures including pulmonary wedge resection, lobectomy, and esophagectomy. Furthermore, it demonstrates potential advantages in minimizing surgical incisions and reducing intraoperative blood loss. Nevertheless, challenges related to network stability, latency control, interdisciplinary collaboration between medical and engineering teams, and legal, regulatory, and ethical considerations continue to hinder widespread clinical adoption. Looking ahead, the emergence of a "one-to-many" remote surgical model, combined with the integration of artificial intelligence and augmented reality technologies, as well as advancements in low-orbit satellite communications, may enable 5G-RRATS to further advance precision and efficiency in thoracic surgery, thereby facilitating equitable access to high-quality care for a broader patient population.

Objective:To investigate the endoscopic and pathological features and the independent risk factors for early esophageal cancer combined with multiple primary cancer.Methods:Endoscopic and pathological features of 324 patients diagnosed as having early esophageal cancer from January 2013 to January 2022 in Beijing Friendship Hospital were retrospectively collected. Independent risk factors for early esophageal cancer combined with multiple primary cancer were selected by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:Among the 324 patients with early esophageal cancer, 47 (14.51%) patients (29 metachronous and 18 synchronous) had multiple primary cancer. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that alcohol drinking ≥5 standard drinks/day ( OR=6.23, 95% CI: 2.49-15.57, P<0.001), submucosal layer invasion ( OR=2.80, 95% CI:1.07-7.30, P=0.036), lesion location at lower esophagus ( OR=4.18, 95% CI: 1.98-8.97, P<0.001) and multiple lesions in esophagus ( OR=3.30, 95% CI:1.57-6.92, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for early esophageal cancer combined with multiple primary cancer. Conclusion:Alcohol drinking ≥5 standard drinks/day, submucosal layer invasion, lower lesions location, and multiple lesions in the esophagus are independent risk factors that are more likely to develop multiple primary cancer in patients with early esophageal cancer. It is recommended to prioritize monitoring patients with these factors, and enhance endoscopic follow-up and assessment.

The quality of medical insurance settlement lists directly affects the accuracy and rationality of medical insurance payments. This study analyzed the quality problems existing in L City′s 2023 medical insurance settlement list from three dimensions: integrity, standardization and rationality, and introduced a series of medical insurance settlement list quality management measures implemented with a problem-oriented approach. City L has effectively improved the overall quality of medical insurance settlement list by compiling local medical insurance settlement list filling standards, building a closed-loop model for quality control management of medical insurance settlement lists, establishing a quality grading management system for medical insurance settlement lists, and incorporating the quality of medical insurance settlement lists into performance appraisal and agreement management. The proportion of medical insurance settlement lists with quality problems in the city decreased from 8.12% (87 500 out of 1 077 300) in 2023 to 1.80% (20 700 out of 1 152 000) in 2024. The number of problems related to integrity, standardization, and rationality decreased from 39 900, 129 300, and 105 300 to 12 600, 14 800, and 24 800, respectively. These findings could provide a reference for medical insurance settlement list quality management in other regions.

Objective:To explore the genetic and clinical characteristics of epilepsy related with ATP6V1A gene heterozygous variants.Methods:A case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 10 children of epilepsy associated with ATP6V1A gene variants who were admitted to the Children′s Medical Center, Peking University First Hospital from January 2019 to December 2024 was collected. The characteristics of children′ gene variation, clinical phenotype, auxiliary examination results, treatment and prognosis were analyzed.Results:Among the 10 children, there were 4 boys and 6 girls. All 10 children with ATP6V1A gene variants were de novo heterozygous variants, including 1 case of mosaic variant. A total of 9 different variants were identified and 7 variants have not been reported previously. The age at epilepsy onset was 28 (9, 48) months. Five children experienced their first seizure as a fever induction. The types of epileptic seizures included focal seizures in 6 children, epileptic spasms in 5 children, tonic spasms and atonic seizures in 1 child respectively. Three children had 2 seizure types. Global developmental delays were exhibited in 8 children, 2 of whom manifested autism spectrum disorder phenotypes. Two children showed normal development. Electroencephalography revealed slowed background activity in 5 children. Interictal epileptiform discharges were recorded in 9 cases, including hypsarrhythmia, focal, multifocal or generalized discharges. Clinical seizures were captured in 4 children. Brain magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities were found in 4 children, including frontotemporal cortical dysplasia, prominent sulci, delayed myelination of white matter, dysplasia of the corpus callosum, bilateral ventricular enlargement, and cerebral atrophy. Five children were diagnosed with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), and 4 of them were diagnosed with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome. At the last follow-up, the age was 78 (25, 120) months. Seizures were controlled in 6 children, while 4 children had uncontrolled seizures despite treatment with ≥3 anti-seizure medications. Conclusions:All children with ATP6V1A gene related epilepsy harbored de novo heterozygous missense variants, with few showing mosaic variants. Seizure onset age ranged widely from the neonatal period to childhood. The predominant seizure types were focal seizures and epileptic spasms. The phenotypic spectrum may exhibit DEE, while a minority maintain normal development.

Objective:To summarize the genotype and clinical phenotype characteristics of children with epilepsy associated with the SCN1B gene encoding the sodium channel β1 subunit. Methods:The genotypes and clinical phenotypes of patients with SCN1B variants among suspected genetic epilepsy cases treated at the Children′s Medical Center of Peking University First Hospital between May 2016 and July 2024 were analyzed. These variants were identified using next-generation sequencing and subsequently validated by Sanger sequencing or quantitative polymerase chain reaction methods. Results:A total of 17 patients were analyzed, including 8 males and 9 females. Ten cases of missense variations (including 2 with the same variations), 4 cases of deletion variations, and 1 case each of nonsense variations, splice site variations, and exons 4-5 deletions were identified. Among them, 6 cases had novel SCN1B variations. The variants in 11 cases were inherited from 1 parent. Eleven types of gene variants have not been reported yet. Onset of epilepsy ranged from 3 months to 5 years and 3 months old (median age: 14 months). Types of seizures included generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) in 14 cases, focal seizures in 9 cases, myoclonic seizures in 3 cases, atypical absence seizures in 2 cases and epilepsy spasms, tonic seizures and atonic seizures in 1 case each. Eleven cases had diverse seizure types. Fourteen cases (14/17) demonstrated fever sensitivity. Electroencephalography revealed focal discharges in 3 cases, coinciding with focal and generalized discharges in 3 additional cases, and multifocal discharges in 6 cases. Seizures were identified in 4 cases: 1 case of myoclonic seizures, 1 case of GTCS, 1 case of atypical absence seizures, and 1 case exhibiting both myoclonic and tonic seizures. Nine cases (9/17) were diagnosed with genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, 1 case diagnosed with myoclonic epilepsy in infancy and 1 diagnosed with infant epileptic spasms syndrome. There were 2 cases of nonspecific developmental epileptic encephalopathy, while the remaining 4 cases could not be diagnosed with a specific epileptic syndrome. Effective antiseizure medications (ASMs) included valproate in 8 cases, levetiracetam in 5 cases, topiramate in 3 cases, clobazam in 2 cases, clonazepam and vigabatrin in 1 case each. Sodium channel blockers exacerbated seizures in 3 cases, specifically oxcarbazepine in 2 cases and lamotrigine in 1 case. At the last follow-up, seizures were controlled for at least 6 months in 14 patients (14/17), while seizures remained uncontrolled in 3 patients despite trialing 2 or more ASMs. Thirteen patients exhibited normal development, while 4 experienced developmental delays. Conclusions:The heterozygous variants in children with SCN1B gene-related epilepsy include missense, deletion, nonsense, splice site variants, and exon deletions. The correlation between different genetic variants and clinical phenotypes remains unclear. These variants are associated with epilepsy onset from infancy to early childhood, presenting with various seizure types, with GTCS being the most common. Phenotypic manifestations can vary significantly in severity, ranging from benign febrile seizures or febrile seizures plus to developmental epileptic encephalopathy. Valproic acid demonstrates the highest effectiveness rate, while the use of sodium channel blockers may worsen seizures in certain patients, necessitating cautious administration.

Post-stroke anxiety disorder （PSA） is a common psychiatric complication of stroke， which jeopardizes patients' recovery and their quality of life. Recent studies suggest that inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PSA. Therefore， this paper reviewed the related licture about the association between PSA and serum inflammatory biomarkers in order to provide references for the intervention of PSA. In this study， a comprehensive search was performed in China National knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data， Web of Science and PubMed database to identify the well qualified literature focusing on the relationship between PSA occurrence and serum inflammatory biomarkers， and a total of 13 studies were retrieved. Analysis indicates a certain association between PSA occurrence and serum inflammatory biomarkers， and denotes that the elevation of inflammatory biomarkers may be a trigger for the disease occurrence and its progression， but the specific mechanism underlying this relationship requires further study.
