Ovarian immature teratoma is a relatively rare malignant ovarian tumor that predominantly occurs in children, adolescents, and young adults. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, tumor marker detection and imaging examinations serve as crucial bases for differentiating mature and immature terotomas. A comprehensive preoperative evaluation followed by the selection of an appropriate surgical approach and extent is key to improving prognosis. Some studies have indicated that for stage Ⅰ ovarian immature teratoma, avoiding adjuvant chemotherapy under close follow-up does not increase the risk of recurrence or affect long-term survival of patients; however, for advanced-stage ovarian immature teratoma, standardized postoperative chemotherapy is still recommended. Some patients may experience benign-malignant transformation of malignant germ cell components after surgery, such as growing teratoma syndrome or squamous cell carcinoma transformation. Due to the rarity of ovarian immature teratoma, current understanding of its pathogenesis and clinical management remains limited. This paper provides a review focusing on key clinical issues related to ovarian immature teratoma and proposes corresponding diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations, aiming to offer references for promoting multidisciplinary collaboration and individualized treatment.

Objective:To present a set of clinically representative quality assurance (QA) test cases for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRT) plans of multiple intracranial metastases, in order to assess the plan quality and machine execution capabilities.Methods:Based on the clinical characteristics of multiple brain metastases, four groups of test cases with three target volumes (TVs), six TVs, nine TVs, and TVs near organs at risk (OARs) were designed. For these cases, SRT plans were developed, and plan quality was assessed using metrics including the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group conformality index (RTOG CI), gradient index (GI), homogeneity index (HI), and the volume of normal brain tissue receiving a dose of 24 Gy ( V24 Gy), which was defined as the volume enclosed by the 24 Gy isodose line around the Brain-PTV ( V24 Gy of Brain-PTV). Verification plans were generated for each test case, including the verification of point doses, planar doses (PD), and SRS MapCHECK (SMC) semiconductor matrix planar doses. Compared with the calculated result of the treatment planning system (TPS), the criteria for the γ analysis of planar doses were set at 1 mm/2% and 2 mm/2%. Results:For the four groups of test cases, the mean CI, GI, HI, and V24 Gy of Brain-PTV were 1.04±0.03, 3.79±0.40, 0.73±0.01 and (7.46±3.80) cm 3, respectively. The mean deviations of the point doses were 0.88%±0.98%, 1.47%±0.79%, 1.52%± 0.76%, and 1.17% ± 0.38%, respectively. The mean γ passing rates of the single fields for PDs were greater than 98% at 2 mm/2% and exceeding 96% at 1 mm/2%, and the mean γ pass rates of the SMC semiconductor matrix for PDs were 97.75% ± 2.31% and 99.33% ± 0.62%, at 1 mm/2% and 2 mm/2% respectively. Conclusions:The proposed QA test cases for SRT of multiple intracranial metastases allow for the effective assessments of the plan quality and machine execution capabilities and, thus, can assist various centers in clinical applications.

Objective:To investigate the changes in image recognition ability and learning intentions after distance interactive learning, and to assess the teaching effect objectively and subjectively.Methods:A total of 61 physicians working in Department of Anesthesiology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, were enrolled as subjects and received training with the distance interactive learning method, and a questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the changes in objective image recognition ability and subjective learning intentions after teaching. The paired t-test and the Wilcoxon paired rank test were used to perform statistical analyses. Results:A total of 48 anesthesiologists completed the learning and assessments. After training, there was a significant increase in the accuracy rate of recognizing the anatomical structures of the airway on ultrasound images from (45.98±18.57)% to (88.38±7.92)% ( t=14.74, P<0.001), and there was a significant reduction in misdiagnosis rate from (60.68±29.83)% to (8.53±4.34)% ( t=-6.00, P<0.001). After teaching, the accuracy rate of identifying tracheal intubation on ultrasound images increased from (42.50±19.62)% to (66.25±23.40)% ( t=-4.08, P<0.001). After teaching, the accuracy rate of comprehensive ultrasound airway assessment increased from (45.61±17.00)% to (85.80±7.69)% ( t=14.48, P<0.001), and the misdiagnosis rate decreased from (59.41±29.05)% to (8.46±4.27)% ( t=-6.00, P<0.001). After teaching, although there were reductions in the learning intentions for clinical application scenarios, ultrasound section and body surface landmarks, and ultrasound image features, there were no significant changes in the learning intentions for operation techniques. Conclusions:Distance interactive training helps anesthesiologists to improve their ability for recognition of ultrasound airway images and can meet their specific learning intentions.

OBJECTIVE: To explore an objective evaluation mode for emergency response capacity on sudden poisoning incidents. METHODS: Based on the health emergency drills and blind design,22 teams in Guangdong Province were recruited to participate in the first round of evaluation,including blind sample analysis,theoretical examination( poisoning medical rescue,detection and investigation) and skills assessment( poisoning medical care,poisoning investigation,personal protection,poisoning detection and emergency decision-making). Then,the top 10 teams in the first round of evaluation were proceeded to desktop exercise in the second round of evaluation. The evaluation results were compared with the local gross domestic product( GDP) from 2011 to 2015 by Spearman rank correlation analysis. RESULTS: The median scores of the 4 sections were as follows: blind sample analysis was 71. 0,theoretical examination was 61. 4,skills assessment was 76. 5,and the desktop exercise was 55. 0. The rates of excellent for assessment of blind sample analysis,theoretical examination and skills assessment were 22. 7%,4. 5% and 0. 0%,while the failure rates were 31. 8%,45. 5% and 4. 5%,respectively. The rates of failure in medical rescue and investigation in theoretical examination were63. 6% and 50. 0%,the rates of failure in medical rescue and investigation in skills assessment were 40. 9% and 31. 8%,respectively. The middle-grade and passing rates of the top 10 teams in the desktop exercise were 10. 0%,and the failure rate was 80. 0%. There was a moderate positive correlation between the emergency response capacity for emergent poisoning and local GDP( Spearman rank correlation coefficient > 0. 700,P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The evaluation mode of emergency response capability assessment combined with actual combat and desktop emergency drill is established successfully. It can objectively test the assessment of emergency response capabilities.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility of using network system to carry out desktop health emergency response exercise for sudden poisoning incidents,and to understand the emergency response capability on sudden poisoning incident in Guangdong Province. METHODS: A chemical poisoning incident caused by drinking polluted water was simulated. Eight questions were designed in 4 sections including the emergency report,response,disposal and strain capacity to the emergency. A total of 10 teams from prefecture-level city in Guangdong Province answered through the desktop network exercise system designed by National Institute of Occupational Health and Poison Control. Meanwhile,the experts judged score using this system. RESULTS: Ten teams were familiar and adapted to the network system in a relatively short period of time. The scores of emergency report,response,disposal and strain capacity on emergency were(14. 9 ± 2. 3),(6. 0 ±2. 2),(20. 7 ± 4. 1) and(13. 2 ± 3. 5),respectively. The score rates of above 4 sections were(74. 5 ± 11. 5) %,(50. 4 ±18. 7) %,(43. 5 ± 8. 5) % and(66. 2 ± 17. 5) %,respectively. The score rate of emergency report was higher than that of response and disposal( P < 0. 05). The score rate of strain was higher than that of disposal( P < 0. 05). The total score of desktop exercises of the 10 teams was(55. 0 ± 8. 0),which was low on the whole. CONCLUSION: The network system can be used for desktop exercise for sudden poisoning incidents. There is a weak link in the health emergency response capacity of sudden poisoning incidents in Guangdong Province and the capability of emergency response and disposal should be strengthened.

Objective To analyze the clinic-pathological data and peritubular capillary (PTC) injuries of malignant nephrosclerosis (MN) patients and their correlations with the long term renal survival.Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of 52 MN patients in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2003 to March 2012.Their clinical data and renal biopsy samples were carefully studied.CD34 staining was performed to evaluate the PTC area,using Benign nephrosclerosis (BN,n=17) patients and glomerular minimal lesions (GML,n=19) patients as controls.Multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify the potential independent risk factors for long term renal survival.Results Fifty-two MN patients were enrolled.The sex ratio of male to female was 12:1 and the average age was (34.0±8.2) years.The maximum blood pressure (SBP/DBP) was (230.4 ± 25.0)/(156.4 ± 20.6) mmHg,companied with significant loss of eGFR and proteinuria.Glomerular sclerosis index,tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis correlated with eGFR and proteinuria (P < 0.05).After aggressive treatment,BP control rate improved significantly (76.9% vs 3.7%,P <0.01),Scr [(376.4±263.8) μmol/L vs (486.8±375.7) μmol/L,Wilcoxon test,P< 0.01] and proteinuria [(1.10±0.70) g/24 h vs (2.04± 1.26) g/24 h,P < 0.01,n=21] also improved.PTC area in MN patients was significantly lower than those in BN patients and GML patients,and it correlated well with Scr (r=-0.553,P=0.001) and eGFR (r=0.476,P=0.004).The median follow-up time was 74 months,the cumulative renal survival rate at 1 year,5 year and 10 year was 90%,64% and 23%,respectively.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the patients with higher PTC area had longer renal survival time [(114.8± 12.4) months vs (63.0±8.3) months, x2=5.312,P < 0.05].Univariate Cox proportional hazard model found that unsatisfied BP control,eGFR < 30 ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1 upon discharge,lower PTC area,severer tubular-interstitial damage and anemia were associated with poor renal outcome.Multivariate Cox model showed that unsatisfied BP control (RR=3.89,95% CI 1.75-8.65,P=0.001),eGFR < 30 ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1 upon discharge (RR=4.27,95% CI 1.40-13.09,P=0.011) were independent risk factors for long-term renal survival.Conclusions The correlation between PTC area and renal functions in MN patients are much better than that of classic vascular changes.Unsatisfied BP control and eGFR < 30 ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1 upon discharge are independent risk factors for long-term renal survival.
