Objective:To analyze the epidemiological information of oral leukoplakia and explore the relationship between clinical characteristics and different degrees of epithelial dysplasia.Methods:A total of 430 patients with oral leukoplakia confirmed by pathology in the Department of Oral Medicine, Shanghai Ninth People′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from February 2013 to May 2021 were enrolled. Epidemiological information was recorded, and univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed on age, gender, smoking, drinking, lesion size, lesion site and lesion type to evaluate the correlation between the risk factors and the degree of epithelial dysplasia in oral leukoplakia.Results:A total of 430 valid samples were included in this study, among which 23 patients were diagnosed with oral leukoplakia with concurrent cancer. The age of all patients was (52.9±12.9) years (22-85 years); 213 were male and 217 were female. One hundred and seventy-six cases (40.9%) had lesions on the lateral and ventral tongue, and 254 cases (59.1%) had lesions in other locations. Three hundred and two cases (70.2%) had homogeneous lesions, and 128 cases (29.8%) had heterogeneous lesions. The degrees of epithelial dysplasia included none [11.9% (51/430)], mild [51.9% (223/430)], moderate [24.4% (105/430)], severe [6.5% (28/430)], and concurrent cancer [5.3% (23/430)]. Smoking, drinking, and gender were correlated with the degree of epithelial dysplasia in some binary classification systems, while tongue (border and ventral) and non-homogeneous damage were significantly correlated with higher degrees of epithelial dysplasia in all binary classification systems ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Lesions on the lateral or ventral tongue and heterogeneous lesions are significantly associated with higher degrees of dysplasia, suggesting that clinicians should pay more attention to these types of oral leukoplakia during the follow-up monitoring process.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of free anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in lower extremity in elderly patient.Methods:From February 2018 to August 2024, 24 elderly patients (14 males, 10 females. Age range: 70-89 years, mean age: 73.47 years) with soft tissue defects in lower extremity were treated with free ALTPFs in the Department of Hand Microsurgery, Sichuan Modern Hospital. All patients had comorbidities including chronic pulmonary diseases (10 cases), anaemia in various severity (15 cases), atherosclerosis (9 cases), diabetes mellitus (6 cases), hypertension (5 cases) and great saphenous varicose veins (4 cases). Fourteen patients were admitted to hospital though emergency department due to trauma. Of these patients, 2 underwent emergency flap transfer surgery, 12 had temporary wound coverage with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) or bone cement, followed by flap surgery at 3-7 days later. Ten patients with chronic wounds were admitted through outpatient clinic and underwent flap surgery at approximately 7 days after multidisciplinary team consultation and completion of preoperative preparation. A total of 15 patients received blood transfusion: 3 before the surgery, 10 in the surgery and 2 after the surgery. Defect locations were: right calf and ankle (6 cases), right foot (5 cases), left calf and ankle (10 cases) and left foot (3 cases). Defect sizes ranged from 5.0 cm×7.0 cm to 9.0 cm×30.0 cm, with exposure of tendon, bone or internal fixation. The size of ALTPFs ranged from 6.0 cm×8.0 cm to 10.0 cm×40.0 cm. All artery of flaps was end-to-end anastomosed with the recipient artery, and the vein of flaps was anastomosed with the accompanying vein by recipient artery. Donor sites were either closed directly or reconstructed with skin grafts. All patients were included in postoperative follow-up via visit of outpatient clinic or WeChat for evaluation of flap and donor sites.Results:All 24 flaps survived. Two cases presented with venous occlusion after surgery and surgical exploration discovered: 1 patient had a long-segment venous thrombosis in the recipient vein and was treated with great saphenous vein transposition for re-anastomosis; the other had a deep haematoma compressing of the flap, which was removed surgically with haemostasis. Follow-up lasted for 3 to 24 months. All donor sites healed well without local tenderness, leaving only linear or skin graft scars. The flap survived well, without infection, ulceration or necrosis. All ankle function was preserved.Conclusion:Transfer of free ALTPF is a valuable technique for treatment of soft tissue defects in lower extremity in elderly patients. Despite higher risks, satisfactory outcome can be achieved with thorough preoperative evaluation and surgical intervention, especially when the condition of a patient is stable, an early ambulation for functional recovery should be started.

Objective To explore the value of transvaginal ultrasound five-view method for diagnosing fetal congenital heart disease(CHD)in early pregnancy of high-risk pregnancy.Methods Totally 428 singleton fetuses at 11-13+6 weeks of gestation in high-risk pregnancies were prospectively enrolled.Fetal cardiac examinations were performed using two-dimensional grey scale imaging combined with CDFI via transabdominal ultrasound method,transvaginal ultrasound five-view method(upper abdominal transverse view,four-chamber view,three-vessel and trachea[3VT]view,ventricular outflow tract view and bilateral subclavian artery view)and transvaginal ultrasound two-view method(four-chamber view and 3VT view).Taken results of pregnant metaphase or late pregnancy fetal echocardiography,post-abortion pathology or postnatal neonatal echocardiography as gold standards,the diagnostic performances of the above 3 methods for diagnosing fetal CHD in early pregnancy were compared.Results CHD was diagnosed in 120(120/428,28.04％)fetuses.Transvaginal ultrasound five-view method made 11 false positives and 19 false negatives,with sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive values for diagnosing fetal CHD in the first trimester of high-risk pregnancy of 84.17％,96.43％,90.18％and 93.99％,respectively,which were all significantly higher than of transvaginal ultrasound two-view method(70.83％,91.88％,77.27％and 88.99％)and transabdominal ultrasound method(72.50％,91.23％,76.32％and 89.49％;all P＜0.05).Conclusion Transvaginal ultrasound five-view method could be used to effectively diagnose fetal CHD in the first trimester of high-risk pregnancy.

AIM:To investigate the impact of es-ketamine-mediated opioid-free anesthesia(OFA)on postoperative gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for gas-tric cancer.METHODS:A total of 150 pa-tients,scheduled for elective laparoscopic distal gas-trectomy for gastric cancer and meeting the inclu-sion and exclusion criteria,were randomly assigned to either the OFA group or the opioid-based anes-thesia(OBA)group using a random number ta-ble,with 75 patients in each group.The OFA group was administered an anesthesia regimen pri-marily consisting of esketamine,while the OBA group received conventional opioid anesthesia,pri-marily consisting of sufentanil and remifentanil.The primary outcome measure was postoperative flatus time,defined as the interval from the end of sur-gery to the first passage of gas.RESULTS:The OFA group exhibited a shorter postoperative flatus time compared to the OBA group(P＜0.01).Intraopera-tive blood loss and norepinephrine consumption were significantly less in the OFA group compared to the OBA group(P＜0.05);the postoperative HADS-D score was better in the OFA group than in the OBA group,and both the OFA and OBA groups showed significantly lower postoperative HADS-A and HADS-D scores compared to their preoperative levels(P＜0.05);the incidence rate of abdominal distension was significantly lower in the OFA group compared to the OBA group(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:The use of esketamine-mediated opioid-free anesthesia can expedite gastrointestinal function recovery,reduce hospital stay duration,and decrease postoperative adverse reactions in patients undergoing laparo-scopic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
