Objective To investigate the effect of postoperative reduction quality in femoral neck fracture internal fixation on mechanical properties of the femoral head from the perspective of trabecular bone biomechanics.Methods From patients who underwent hip replacement surgery for femoral neck fractures,a total of 26 femoral head slice specimens were obtained.The central axis of the primary compressive trabeculae was defined as the 0° group,with the intersection point of the primary compressive trabeculae and the femoral calcar serving as the center.By rotating the specimens to simulate different reduction angles,the cut femoral head slice specimens were randomly divided into five groups:-10°,-5°,0°,5°,and 10°,representing femoral heads with varying reduction qualities.The specimens were subjected to single compression load tests and fatigue load tests.The load was set from 70 N to 1 400 N,at a frequency of 1 Hz,with 10 000 cycles.Axial stiffness,displacement,and the number of collapse cycles were measured,to compare the biomechanical properties of femoral head specimens under different reduction qualities.Results There were differences in the axial stiffness,displacement,and number of collapse cycles among the femoral head specimens in different groups.Under 800 N load,the axial stiffness of 0° group was significantly greater than that of±10° groups(P＜0.05).The axial stiffness of 0° group was also greater than that of the±5° groups,but the differences were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The axial stiffness of±5° groups was greater than that of±10° groups(P＜0.05).0° group had a lower displacement than±5° groups and±10° groups.However,the differences in displacement between 0° group and±5° groups were not statistically significant(P＞0.05),while the differences between the 0° group and±10° groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The differences in displacement between±5° groups and±10° groups were also statistically significant(P＜0.05).0° group had a significantly higher number of collapse cycles than±10° groups(P＜0.05).The number of collapse cycles in 0° group was also higher than that in±5° groups,but the differences were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The number of collapse cycles in±5° groups was significantly higher than that±10° groups(P＜0.05).Conclusions The quality of reduction after internal fixation of femoral neck fractures significantly affects the biomechanical properties of the femoral head.This study provides a scientific basis for optimizing treatment and postoperative management,aiming to improve clinical outcomes and patients' quality of life.

Agenesis of the dorsal pancreas(ADP)is an extremely rare congenital pancreatic malformation characterized by the absence or hypoplasia of the pancreatic body and tail.Its pathogenesis is closely related to abnormal embryonic development of the ventral and dorsal pancreatic buds,governed by a complex network of transcription factors,including HLXB9,HNF1B,PDX1,PTF1A,GATA4,and GATA6.The clinical spectrum of ADP is highly variable,ranging from asymptomatic cases to manifestations such as abdominal pain,diabetes mellitus,or pancreatitis.Imaging modalities-including ultrasonography,CT,magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography,and endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography-serve as the main diagnostic tools,with characteristic findings of absent pancreatic body and tail accompanied by compensatory enlargement of the pancreatic head.ADP is frequently associated with congenital anomalies of the kidney,biliary tract,cardiovascular system,or genital organs.Management is primarily symptomatic,with insulin replacement for diabetes and pancreatic enzyme supplementation for exocrine insufficiency.Advances in genetic sequencing and stem cell research have deepened understanding of the pathogenesis,genetic background,and potential therapeutic strategies of ADP.This review summarizes current progress in embryology,genetics,clinical features,diagnosis,and treatment of ADP,aiming to improve clinical recognition and guide future investigations.

Objective:To investigate the clinical results of gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy via posterior chest-collarbone approach (GETPCA) compared with open neck surgery for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) .Mthods:Retrospective analysis of PTC patients admitted to the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from Jan. 2022 to Dec. 2023,and randomly divided into the open group and the lumbo-scopic group according to whether or not they had a requirement for an unmarked neck, in which the open group was n=100,and the lumbo-scopic group was n=67,with 39 male cases and 128 female cases. Clinicopathological characteristics, surgery-related indexes, postoperative complications, postoperative pain scores and postoperative cosmetic satisfaction were compared between the two groups.The t-test,Wilcoxon rank-sum test, χ2 test, consecutively corrected χ2 test, or Fisher’s exact probability method were used to compare the groups. Results:No recurrence was seen during the follow-up period,and none of the cases in the luminal group was open in the middle. The differences in age, body mass index BMI, gender, relative tumor location,preoperative TSH, T stage and N stage between the two groups were not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . The total operation time [ (121.07±39.80) min vs. (93.87±26.97) min]in the luminal group was greater than that in the open group,intraoperative bleeding was less than that in the open group, and the postoperative drainage flow[ (130.69±31.01) mL vs. (105.52±32.71) mL] was greater than that in the open group in the postoperative period of 72 h, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001) .There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of 24-h postoperative drainage volume, number of central zone lymph node dissection, number of positive central zone lymph nodes,postoperative hospitalization days or total hospitalization cost ( P>0.05) .The number of cases of neck discomfort (3 cases vs.23 cases, P<0.001) and swallowing dysfunction (2 cases vs.20 cases, P=0.003) in the luminal group was smaller than that in the open group,and the difference was statistically significant.The difference in the incidence of bleeding,incision infection,seroma,temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and temporary parathyroid gland injury between the two groups was also not statistically significant ( P>0.05) .The postoperative NRS on day 1 and postoperative NRS on day 3 of the luminal group were lower than those of the open group,and the difference was statistically significant ( P>0.05) ,while there was no statistically significant difference between the postoperative NRS on day 7,the postoperative NRS on month 1 and the postoperative NRS on month 3 ( P>0.05) .Cosmetic satisfaction at 6 months postoperatively was higher in the luminal group than in the open group,and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001) . Conclusion:GETPCA for the treatment of the PTC is safe and feasible,with satisfactory cosmetic results and reduction of neck discomfort and swallowing dysfunction,which is worthy of clinical popularization.

Objective To analyze the policy texts related to pediatric medications in China over the past decade,to explore the deficiencies in existing policy formulation from the perspective of stakeholders,and to propose reasonable optimization suggestions based on the current situation.Methods Collecting national-level policies related to pediatric drugs in China from 2013 to 2023,a two-dimensional policy analysis framework of"Policy tools-Stakeholder"were established.And the content analysis method was used to code,categorize,and statistically analyze the policy texts.Results A total of 54 pediatric drug policies were included in the analysis.In terms of policy tools,a total of 197 policy codes were formed,with environmental tools being the most prevalent with 92 codes(46.70％),primarily consisting of regulatory management tools(28 codes,30.43％).This was followed by supply-oriented tools with 53 codes(26.90％),mainly focused on the issuance of technical guidelines(21 codes,39.62％).Demand-oriented tools accounted for the least with 52 codes(26.40％),with inter-departmental collaboration tools having the highest proportion(17 codes,32.69％).In the dimension of stakeholders,a total of 223 policy codes were formed,with the government having the highest number of codes at 133(59.64％),followed by medical institutions with 56 codes(25.11％).The proportions for medical personnel,pharmaceutical companies,and patients were similar,with 14 codes(6.28％),11 codes(4.93％),and 9 codes(4.04％),respectively.Conclusions Pediatric drugs face challenges with policy tools where supply-oriented tools,particularly those providing financial support,suffer from insufficient policy depth and customization.The demand-oriented tools have a low proportion,leading to structural imbalance and underutilized effectiveness;the environment-oriented tools focus more on regulation than incentives,restricting the accessibility of pediatric drugs;the potential of multiple stakeholders is not fully activated,and there is a lack of policies centered around pediatric patients.To address these issues,supply-oriented policy tools need to establish a diversified financial support model and clearly define the scope of coverage.Demand-oriented policy tools require further adjustments to the catalog,procurement upgrades,and international collaborative research to reshape the pediatric drug security system.Environmental policy tools should enhance economic support,strengthen intellectual property rights,and implement targeted education to build a development ecosystem for pediatric drugs.Regarding stakeholders,it is essential to strengthen multi-stakeholder collaboration and optimize pediatric drug policy tools with a patient-centered approach.

Metanephric adenoma is a rare renal epithelial tumor with a low incidence and lack of specific clinical manifestations，resulting in a lack of uniformity in clinical understanding and treatment. Its etiology and pathogenesis are still unclear，and it may be related to the abnormal number and structure of chromosomes 2，7，and 17，as well as mutations in genes such as BRAF V600E，NF1，and NOTCH1，etc. There may be a transformed relationship between this tumor and Wilms’ tumor and papillary renal cell carcinoma. For diagnosis，it has diverse but non-specific clinical manifestations，and it is difficult to accurately differentiate it from other tumors in the imaging examination，and the confirmation of diagnosis relies on pathological and immunohistochemical staining. Treatment is mainly based on surgery to preserve the renal unit，such as partial nephrectomy，etc.，but the difficulty of preoperative diagnosis often leads to over-treatment，and there is a lack of standardized treatment protocols for metastatic posterior renal adenoma. The aim of this article is to provide a reference for the in-depth understanding of posterior renal adenomas and to optimize the clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Objective:To explore the possibility of using a inferior gluteal artery perforator flap (IGAPF) for breast reconstruction in the patient who did not have suitable donor site in back and abdomen.Methods:In November 2024, a 25-year-old unmarried and childless woman with right breast cancer received immediate right breast reconstruction by a right free IGAPF after modified right mastectomy in the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University. The locations of perforators were confirmed by both Multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) and portable Doppler blood flow detector before surgery. The IGAPF was designed to take the inferior gluteal wrinkle as the lower edge, the axis of the flap was parallel to the inferior gluteal wrinkle, and the width of the flap was estimated where the incision could be directly closed. The size of right IGAPF was 6.0 cm×19.0 cm. Sharp dissection was performed between the sarcolemma and muscle fibres of gluteus, then the perforators were dissected along the direction of muscle fibres of gluteus. The vascular pedicle was kept at about 8.0 cm in length. The diameter of artery was about 2.0 mm and that for the veins was about 1.5 mm. End-to-end anastomoses with the right thoracodorsal artery and vein were successfully carried out. The donor site was directly closed, and it was hidden in the inferior gluteal wrinkle. Postoperative outpatient clinical review was made.Results:Pathological examination reported: an invasive carcinoma of right breast, axillary lymph node metastasis (2/10). The patient recovered well and the flap survived without any complication, i.e. ischemic necrosis, infection and haematoma. The patient was off-bed at 3 days and discharged at 13 days after surgery. At the 40 days of postoperative follow-up, the patient achieved a good recovery and the lower limb activity was not affected by the surgery. The patient was satisfied with the reconstructed breast and donor site recovery. The patient followed with scheduled chemotherapy and subsequent radiotherapy. The volume of reconstructed breast was smaller than the other breast, of which the patient was fully informed before the surgery.Conclusion:A free IGAPF provides an alternative donor sites for achieving a breast reconstruction due to the reliable pedicle vessels and invisible donor scars.
