BACKGROUND:Large deep burn wounds are often accompanied by scar hyperplasia after healing,requiring transplantation of medium-thickness skin for repair,and the medium-thickness skin slices taken generally reach below the papillary layer of the dermis.If not handled correctly,complications such as delayed healing,ulceration,and post-healing pain and itching in the donor area can easily occur.Therefore,the repair of wounds in the donor area should be emphasized.OBJECTIVE:To observe the safety and practicability of autologous scalp repair of skin donor area in patients with deep burns and scarring.METHODS:Sixty patients with deep burn and scar hyperplasia admitted to the Burn Department of Zhengzhou First People's Hospital from January 2021 to September 2023 were selected as the study subjects.They all needed medium-thickness skin transplantation and repair,and were divided into study group(n=30)and control group(n=30)according to random systematic sampling method.The skin was taken from the patient's own medium-thickness skin on the leg or back.In the study group,the skin donor area was repaired with self-blade thick scalp replantation,and in the control group,the skin donor area was repaired with absorbent dressing.The wound healing rate and the time to complete epithelialization of the wound were observed and compared in the two groups 6 days after surgery.The pain of dressing change at 3 and 6 days after surgery and scar hyperplasia in the skin donor area at 6 months after surgery were compared between two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group,the time to complete epithelialization of the wound was significantly lower in the study group(P<0.05),and the wound healing rate was significantly higher in the study group(P<0.05),the pain score for dressing change at 3 and 6 days after surgery was significantly lower in the study group(P<0.05),and the scar hyperplasia rate,scar score and itch score were also significantly lower in the study group(P<0.05)at 6 months after surgery.In conclusion,autologous scalp repair of the medium-thickness skin donor area can accelerate wound healing and reduce scar hyperplasia.

Objective To investigate the potential profile of self-management behavior in patients with sudden deafness,the characteristics and influencing factors of different categories of patients,and provide reference for clin-ical management.Methods A total of 205 patients with sudden deafness who were hospitalized in the Department of Otology of a Grade 3 hospital in Beijing were selected by convenience sampling method from August 2023 to June 2024.Date were collected using the general situation questionnaire,self-management status assessment scale for sudden deafness patient and social support rating scale.Mplus 8.0 was used for potential profile analysis,and SPSS 26.0 was used for single factor analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 200 valid ques-tionnaires were collected.Patients were divided into 3 categories according to their self-management level,which were respectively named as"high management—good self-efficacy group"(n=52,26.00％),"moderate manage-ment—symptoms of special concern group"(n=101,50.50％),and"low management-lack of information acquisi-tion group"(n=47,23.50％).Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that education level,sleep disorder and social support level were the influencing factors of different self-management categories in patients with sudden deaf-ness.Conclusion The overall self-management ability of patients with sudden deafness is at a moderate level and with significant heterogeneity.Education level,sleep disorders,and social support serve as stratification criteria for categorizing different patient groups and formulating corresponding intervention strategies.Priority should be given to providing information support to the"low-management group with information deficiency",implementing targe-ted interventions for the"moderate-management group with symptom focus",and fully leveraging the self-efficacy of the"high-management group with good self-efficacy"to regulate their self-management level.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,and treatment of gastric duplication(GD)in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 46 pediatric patients with GD treated at our hospital from January 2008 to January 2025.The evaluated parameters included age,gender,symptoms,comorbidities,imaging data,surgical process,postoperative treatment and follow-up situation.Analyze the clinical characteristics of GD.Results Forty-four cases were cystic structures,and 2 cases were sinus tracts or tubular structures respectively.The most common site was the cardia/fundus area(20 cases).Seventeen cases were asymptomatic(7 detected during prenatal screening and 10 identified incidentally).The most common associated anomalies were inguinal hernia(4 cases),pulmonary airway malformation(3 cases),pulmonary sequestration(3 cases),and hiatal hernia(3 cases).All 46 patients underwent ultrasound examination,with an accuracy of 97.8％.Upper gastrointestinal contrast studies were performed in 16 cases and computed tomography(CT)was conducted in 34 patients.Perforation occurred in 7 cases.Surgical approaches included laparoscopy(35 cases,with 5 conversions to open surgery),open surgery(9 cases),robotic surgery(1 case),transthoracic surgery(1 case).Operative time ranged from 50 to 250 minutes(median:105 minutes).Postoperative pathology identified pancreatic heterotopia in 6 cases.Time to resume oral intake ranged from 1 to 17 days(median:4 days),and postoperative hospital stay lasted 3-21 days(median:7 days).During follow-up,one patient was readmitted for adhesive intestinal obstruction and managed conservatively,with no other significant complications reported.Conclusion Pediatric GD is a rare congenital anomaly,typically presenting as non-communicating cystic lesions with nonspecific clinical manifestations.Ultrasonography is the primary diagnostic tool,with upper GI series,CT/MRI,and endoscopy as adjuncts.While prompt surgical intervention is indicated for symptomatic cases,those complicated by perforation/infection should undergo delayed elective resection ≥ 3 months following complete inflammatory resolution.Laparoscopic approach is the treatment of choice,while endoscopic intraoperative localization or endoscopic therapy may be considered for small intraluminal lesions.

Objective:To summarise the main points of operation during thyroid surgery using bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) with a domestic robot and to analyse the learning curve.Methods:From May. 2023 to Oct. 2023, we retrospectively analysed the clinical data of 38 patients who underwent thyroid surgery with domestically manufactured robot via BABA attending the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of the 960th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Support Force, proposed and constructed learning curves using cumulative and analytical methods to study the minimum number of learning cases required for the loading time of assistants and surgeon-in-charge with da Vinci surgical experience to transition from the initial learning stage to the proficiency stage. The age, BMI, surgical time (loading time, operating time), postoperative drainage time, and number of lymph nodes dissected were compared among patients at different stages of the learning curve.Results:A total of 38 thyroidectomy patients successfully underwent surgery, with an average surgical time of (176.61 ± 47.98) minutes. After 18 cases, the assistant's loading time shortened and stabilized at (42.20 ± 3.44) minutes. The operator reached peak proficiency at the 18th case (loading time, operating time), which was considered the dividing point between the learning phase and the proficiency phase. During the learning phase, the average surgical time was (209.72 ± 49.28) minutes, operation time: (165.44 ± 49.93) minutes, while in the proficiency phase, the average surgical time decreased to 146.80 ± 18.34 minutes, operation time: (104.60 ± 19.01) minutes. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics such as age, BMI, postoperative drainage time, or the number of central compartment lymph nodes dissected between the two phases ( P > 0.05) . Conclusion:Over the results of this study, it was shown that for robosurgeons with experience in da Vinci robotic surgery, the transition from the learning stage to the proficiency stage could be considered after crossing the learning curve for 18 cases, and that assistants could become proficient in loading techniques after 18 procedures.

Objective:To observe and analyze the ocular clinical features and pathogenic genes of horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPPS).Methods:A pedigree study was conducted.Two families with HGPPS diagnosed by ophthalmology examination at Henan Children's Hospital from November 2023 to April 2024 were included, with 3 people from two generations in each family.Medical history and family history of the subjects were inquired.Vision acuity, diopter, anterior segment, intraocular pressure, wide-angle laser scanning ophthalmoscopy, optical coherence tomography, visual evoked potential (VEP), electroretinogram (ERG), ocular B-ultrasound, full spine AP+ lateral view, orbit+ skull+ cervical spine+ thoracic spine+ lumbosacral spine MRI plain scan were performed on the subjects.Whole genomic DNA was extracted from 2 ml of peripheral venous blood collected from the subjects, and gene sequencing was performed using whole exome sequencing (WES) technology.Suspicious pathogenic variant loci were verified by Sanger sequencing, and the pathogenicity of gene variant loci was analyzed according to the ACMG standards and guidelines for the interpretation of sequence variants.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Henan Children's Hospital (No.2024-KY-0024).All subjects and guardians signed informed consent forms and were informed of relevant matters before genetic testing.Results:The proband from family 1 was male, 3 years and 2 months old.At the age of 6 months, he was found to have head tilted to the left with a right scoliosis of the spine centered on T11-12 and no obvious abnormalities on VEP and ERG examinations.The proband from family 2 was male, 3 years and 4 months old, with a left scoliosis of the spine centered on T12.Both probands developed horizontal fixation paralysis, unable to rotate eye outward, slightly limited inward rotation, left eye hypertropia, mild horizontal nystagmus, normal vertical eye movement, backward development of major movements, and normal vision, anterior segment and fundus.MRI examination showed that the medulla oblongata was butterfly shaped, and a brainstem fissure could be seen in the center of the medulla oblongata.The genetic testing showed that the proband from family 1 had compound heterozygous variations c. 1054delC/p.Gln352Serfs *90 (M1) in exon 7 and c. 1219G>T/p.Gly407Cys (M2) in exon 8 of ROBO3 gene.The father of the proband carried M1 and the mother of the proband carried M2.The proband from family 2 had compound heterozygous variations c. 1888C>T/p.R630X (M3) in exon 12 and c. 2684C>A/p.A895E (M4) in exon 17 of ROBO3 gene.M1 and M3 were possible pathogenic, and M2 and M4 were of unknown clinical significance, and prediction software predicted M2 and M4 were harmful variations. Conclusions:The main clinical features of two HGPPS pedigree are horizontal fixation paralysis and progressive scoliosis, accompanied by nystagmus and strabismus.MRI shows brainstem fissure in the central medullary area.Four variants are novel variants, which increases the variation spectrum of ROBO3 gene.
