Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and aesthetic outcome of liposuction combined with mammary adenectomy through a periareolar small incision in the management of gynecomastia(GYN).Methods From January 2019 to June 2023,18 patients with GYN were admitted.All of them were treated with small incision through the areola combined with liposuction.The postoperative aesthetic effect,occurrence of complications and patient satisfaction of the patients were evaluated.Results All 18 patients in this study were follwed up for a period of 3 to 18 months.No serious complications such as wound infection or necrosis of the nipple-areola occurred.Pathological examinations were consistent with the diagnosis of GYN.Except for one patient,who exhibited slight skin folds in the surgical area at the 12-month follow-up,the other patients all achieved symmetrical and smooth chest contours with noticeable aesthetic improvement,resulting in a 100％patient satisfaction rate.Conclusion The combined approach of liposuction combined with mammary adenectomy through a periareolar small incision for the treatment of GYN is straightforward,minimally invasive,and yields satisfactory therapeutic and aesthetic outcomes.

The microbial limit standards in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition primarily focus on total aerobic microbial count and specified objectionable microorganisms,which are insufficient for comprehensively assessing the potential risks posed by microbial contamination to drug efficacy and patient safety.With the increasing com-plexity of rising regulatory requirements,there is an urgent need to establish a scientific and systematic microbial risk assessment and control framework.In response,the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 edition,introduces a new general guideline 9212 Risk Assessment and Control of Unacceptable Microorganisms for Non-sterile Products.This chapter systematically constructs a framework for the identification and control of risks associated with unacceptable microorganisms,filling a gap in the relevant field within international pharmacopoeias.This article systematically elaborates on its key elements based on its core framework and content.It covers the development background,core concepts,testing and identification strategies,evaluation of risk characterization factors,formulation of risk control measures,and implementation pathways.The aim is to provide pharmaceutical enterprises and regulatory agencies with systematic and clear practical guidance.

Whole Genome Sequencing(WGS)technology,leveraging its significant advantages in precise microbial identification and traceability analysis,has become a core tool in international pharmaceutical microbial quality control.The release and implementation of the Guideline 9110 for Microbial Whole Genome Sequencing Technology in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition marks the official entry of China's pharmaceutical microbial quality con-trol into the genomic era.Guideline 9110 establishes universal technical specifications for the application of WGS technology in pharmaceutical microbial quality control,covering laboratory general requirements,key technical parameters,technical workflow,major factors affecting sequencing results,method validation,and application guidance.This article focuses on the background of the standard's development and its technical rationale,provi-ding a systematic interpretation of key technical indicators,the scope of application,and essential points for techni-cal implementation.It aims to offer theoretical guidance and practical references for the industry in applying WGS technology.

Discipline construction is the main focus of the high-quality development of public hospitals. The authors elaborated on the practice of Zhongshan Hospital(Xiamen), Fudan University, based on the " double-center" homogenization management, implementing the 123456 strategy of " integrated management and homogeneous development" in discipline construction. The hospital has promoted discipline construction from six aspects: building discipline cluster, promoting talent cultivation, building science and technology innovation platform, precise personnel classification, medical and education collaborative education, and information sharing and support. It has achieved new development goals of filling weak discipline gaps, transforming talent transfusion into hematopoietic, and integrating medical, educational, research and management innovation. However, it also encountered difficulties such as homogenization barrier of discipline construction, shortage of excellent talents, and limited brand influence of superior disciplines. The authors put forward suggestions from three dimensions: deepening homogeneous management, building talent echelon, and increasing publicity, in order to provide experience for the high-quality development of other hospitals.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) inhibitors and programmed death receptor-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors in the treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).Methods:The databases of CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Clinical Controlled Trial Center Registry (CENTRAL) were retrieved, and the randomized controlled trial literature on the treatment of ES-SCLC with immune checkpoint inhibitors published from the establishment of the database until October 4, 2023 were reviewed. After screening literature and extracting data according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, the risk of bias in the study was evaluated using Review Manager 5.4 software. The disease remission, prognosis and adverse events (AE) of patients treated with ICI combined with chemotherapy (experimental group) and placebo± chemotherapy (control group) in the whole group and liver metastases and brain metastases subgroups were compared.Results:A total of 11 randomized controlled trials were included, with 2 243 cases in the experimental group and 2 059 cases in the control group. The included research data were complete and showed no selective bias. Compared with the control group, the objective response rate (ORR) of patients in the experimental group was higher [control group vs. experimental group, 64% (864/1 358) vs. 70% (1 088/1 532), RR = 1.08 (95% CI: 1.03-1.14), P = 0.003], and the difference was statistically significant; progression free survival (PFS) [experimental group vs. control group, the median PFS time, 5.14 months (95% CI: 4.88-5.40 months) vs. 4.76 months (95% CI: 4.70-4.82 months), HR = 0.72 (95% CI: 0.67-0.78), P < 0.001] and overall survival (OS) [experimental group vs. control group, the median OS time, 12.89 months (95% CI: 12.18-13.60 months) vs. 10.41 months (95% CI: 10.03-10.79 months), HR = 0.72 (95% CI: 0.67-0.78), P < 0.001] were all improved, and the differences were statistically significant. The OS of patients with baseline liver metastasis in the experimental group was better than that in the control group (experimental group vs. control group, HR = 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71-0.95), P = 0.009], and the difference was statistically significant, while the difference in OS of patients with baseline brain metastases was not statistically significant between the experimental group and the control group [experimental group vs. control group, HR = 0.84 (95% CI: 0.66-1.08), P = 0.170]. The incidence of AE [experimental group vs. control group, 31% (597/1 952) (95% CI: 24%-37%) vs. 14% (255/1 762) (95% CI: 9%-22%), RR = 2.25 (95% CI: 1.67-3.02), P < 0.001] and the incidence of drug discontinuation or dose change caused by AE [experimental group vs. control group, 21% (379/1 774) (95% CI: 12%-41%) vs. 19% (307/1 588) (95% CI: 6%-25%), RR = 1.20 (95% CI: 1.07-1.33), P = 0.001] in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant. However, the incidence of severe (≥grade 3) AE in both the experimental group and the control group was 34% (620/1 814, 557/1 632) (both 95% CI: 32%-36%), and the difference was not statistically significant [experimental group vs. control group, RR = 1.00 (95% CI: 0.91-1.10), P = 0.960]. The incidence of hypothyroidism [experimental group vs. control group, 11% (118/1 083) (95% CI: 9%-13%) vs. 1% (11/886) (95% CI: 0-2%), RR = 8.56 (95% CI: 4.63-15.80), P < 0.001] and the incidence of hyperthyroidism [experimental group vs. control group, 7% (75/1 083) (95% CI: 5%-8%) vs. 2% (17/886) (95% CI: 1%-4%), RR = 3.27 (95% CI: 1.95-5.46), P < 0.001] in the experimental group were both higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusions:ICI combined with chemotherapy can effectively improve the OS, PFS and disease remission of patients with ES-SCLC, as well as improve the survival of patients with liver metastases. However, there is no benefit in the survival of patients with brain metastases. The incidence of immune-mediated AE to ICI combined with chemotherapy has increased, but the overall safety is good.
