Objective·To summarize the clinical features,imaging features,and diagnosis and treatment experience of primary mediastinal yolk sac tumor(YST).Methods·Data of 29 patients with primary mediastinal YST,who attended Shanghai Chest Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from September 2016 to May 2023,were collected and comprehensively analyzed,including imaging examination results,serum indicators,pathology reports and treatment methods.Results·There were 22 cases of pure YST and 7 cases of mixed YST comprising 28 males and 1 female.The mean age of onset was(24.5±5.9)years.The initial symptoms were chest tightness(34.5%),chest pain(27.8%),cough(34.5%),expectoration(34.5%)and no specific symptoms(24.1%).Chest computerized tomography(CT)enhancement showed that all the 29 lesions were located in the anterior mediastinum.The maximum diameter of the lesions ranged from 5.6 cm to 18.2 cm.The lesions were irregular in shape,uneven in density,partially cystic and solid in density.The enhancement scan showed the solid part was slightly and moderately enhanced,and the low-density area was not enhanced.Tumor boundary was not clear because tumors often compressed and invaded surrounding tissues.Among the 29 newly diagnosed patients,serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)was significantly increased in 28 cases(1 case was not tested).Patients received multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment,including chemotherapy(25/29),surgery(26/29),and radiotherapy(8/29).Seven patients directly received surgery after diagnosis.Nineteen patients received chemotherapy first and then surgery;16(84.2%)cases were evaluated as lesion shrinkage after chemotherapy.After surgery,73.1%(19/26)patients had a significant decrease in serum AFP.After chemotherapy,56.0%(14/25)patients had decreased serum AFP.Conclusion·Primary mediastinal YST usually occurs in middle-aged and young men,with certain clinical and radiographic features and elevated serum AFP,which requires multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment.

In recent years,public hesitancy to vaccinate has come to the fore and can hinder the advancement of immunization programs.It is important to increase public confidence in vaccines and to rationally and effectively promote the immunization behavior of the population.Based on behavioral economics theory,it combines the anchoring effect,loss aversion,two-systems theory,and the herd effect to explore the irrational factors and decision-making preferences behind the public's vaccination decisions,and then proposes discourse strategies for effective boosting to increase the public's confidence in vaccination.

Objective To investigate the short-term efficacy of ultrasound-guided argon-helium knife cryoablation for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with supraclavicular lymph node metastases.Methods A total of 14 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer complicated by supraclavicular lymph node metastases were treated with ultrasound-guided argon-helium knife cryoablation on the basis of intravenous chemotherapy or targeted therapy.The short-term therapeutic effect and adverse reactions were analyzed.Results All the 14 patients were successfully treated with argon-helium knife cryoablation under ultrasound guidance.The overall effective rate was 78.6％,and the local compression symptoms of the patients were improved.The scores evaluated by the QLQ-C30 scale were improved when compared with preoperative values.The postoperative fever and local pain of puncture site,which were the common accompanying symptoms of argon-helium knife cryoablation,were relieved or disappeared within a few days after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided argon-helium knife cryoablation is an effective method for local palliative treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with supraclavicular lymph node metastases,which can monitor the real-time changes of lesion and evaluate the therapeutic effect in the treatment course.The clinical symptoms can be relieved within a short time after treatment,and the quality of life of patients will also be improved.
