To summarize the clinical practice of continuous medical service for patients at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from September 2023 to December 2024, following the approval of its extended care qualification. This study utilized a mixed-methods research design that integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative study included a total of 117 subjects, with an age range of 18 to 35 years, an average age of 21.56 years, and a median age of 19 years; there were 59 males and 58 females. The disease types covered four major categories: childhood leukemia and solid tumors (68 cases), congenital structural malformations (25 cases), congenital hereditary metabolic diseases (4 cases), and rare diseases (20 cases). Among the subjects, 57.26% (67 cases) were first-time visitors to SCMC. The patients came from 20 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country, with 88.03% (103 cases) from outside Shanghai. The treatment outcomes showed improvement or cure in 80.34% (94 cases) of the subjects, and there were no medical complaints. In addition, a qualitative study was conducted to deeply explore the experiences, confusions, and challenges of receiving or implementing continuous medical services from the perspectives of patients and their families, as well as medical staff. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 44 subjects were included in the study, among them, there were 12 patients, 12 family members who were taking care of the patients in SCMC, and 20 corresponding medical staff members. The results of the qualitative study showed that trust in the attending physicians of the children′s specialty hospital, a good doctor-patient relationship, satisfactory treatment outcomes, and support from medical insurance policies are the main driving forces for patients over 18 years old to receive continuous treatment at children′s specialty hospitals. The medical staff of the hospital also believed that this model can promote patient benefits. In conclusion, under the policy support of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, the "Six Fixed" Model for continuous treatment established by SCMC has achieved certain positive results in practice. This provides practical references for the development of continuous treatment in China and offers new strategies for the application of preventive medicine in the field of children′s health.

Objective To investigate the value of MRI of the sternal end of clavicle in bone age assessment in Chinese population,especially its applicability in the determination of criminal responsible age.Methods A total of 431 patients aged from 10.00 to 29.99 years with neck or chest MRI were retrospectively collected.According to the Schmeling grading method,the epiphyseal development of the clavicle MRI was divided into five grades.The consistency of methods was evaluated.The correlation and general descriptive analysis between MRI grades and age was analyzed.The sex difference was analyzed.Curve fitting was used to establish a nonlinear model between age and grades.Results The grades of clavicle MRI showed a significant age-related trend(Figure 2),and the correlation was 0.861(0.887 in males and 0.840 in females).Except for grade 1,there was no significant difference between males and females in other grades.The minimum age of male grade 3 was greater than 14 years old,and the minimum age of female grade 3 was greater than 16 years old.The minimum age in grade 4 and grade 5 was over 18 years old in both sexes.The best curve fitting model was cubic model for both sexes(R2=0.805 for men and 0.722 for women).Conclusion Clavicle MRI can be used for the assessment of bone age in Chinese population.Complete epiphyseal plate closure can be used as a reliable indicator for the determination of age at 18 years old,and it is expected to achieve radiation-free forensic bone age assessment.

BACKGROUND:High ankle sprain is easily missed and leads to ankle dysfunction.Arthroscopy can detect hidden high ankle sprain.Suture-button elastic fixation can restore the biomechanical stability of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical efficacy of Suture-button elastic fixation for high ankle sprain under ankle arthroscopy. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed on 40 cases of high ankle sprain patients treated with Suture-button elastic fixation under ankle arthroscopy from August 2019 to August 2021 in the Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery,Wuhan Fourth Hospital.All patients underwent Suture-button elastic fixation.The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society function score,Visual Analog Scale pain score,ankle range of motion,preoperative imaging data,and arthroscopic tibiofibular syndesmosis separation degree were recorded.Meislin criteria were used to evaluate the curative effect and postoperative complications were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)40 patients were followed up for 16-48 months after operation.(2)At the last follow-up,American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society score was(88.95±6.64 points).Visual Analog Scale score was(1.78±1.23 points).Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion was(33.50±5.79 degrees).Ankle plantarflexion range of motion was(34.50±5.97 degrees).There were statistically significant differences before and after surgery(P<0.05).(3)There was a low positive correlation between the radiographic separation index and the degree of arthroscopic separation(r=0.612,P<0.01).(4)The curative effect was evaluated by Meislin standard,with an excellent and good rate of 95%(38/40).Postoperative ankle joint pain was relieved,and ankle joint activities were significantly improved.(5)During the follow-up period,all patients had no nerve injury or incision infection.In 1 patient,the internal fixation was removed due to skin irritation and squatting sensation after operation.(6)It is concluded that Suture-button elastic fixation for high ankle sprain is effective under ankle arthroscopy in restoring ankle function and maintaining joint stability without the need for secondary removal,and it is worth clinical application.

One of the remarkable progresses regarding non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma in the 2024 ASCO-GU symposium was the survival update of KEYNOTE-B61 study, in which tyrosine kinase inhibitor plus immunotherapy (TKI-IO) combination maintained satisfactory efficacy and safety. The distinct response to immunotherapy between papillary versus chromophobe renal cell carcinoma was demonstrated closely correlated with tumor microenvironment. The fusion partner of TFE-rearranged renal cell carcinoma directly determined the tumor biological behavior and therapeutic response.
