Objective:To analyze clinical and histopathological diagnoses of patients with solid tumors localized on the perianal and external genitalia regions, aiming to help clinicians correctly identify benign and malignant tumors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical, histopathological, and dermoscopic features, diagnosis and treatment of 389 patients diagnosed with solid tumors localized in the perianal and external genitalia regions in the Department of Dermatology, Peking University Third Hospital from January 2016 to May 2023.Results:Among the 389 patients with solid tumors in perianal and external genitalia regions, 123 were males and 266 were females, with the age being 8 - 89 (41.86 ± 16.62) years. Based on the histological classification of skin tumors, melanocytic tumors were the most common type (33.16% [129/389]), followed by other tumors (21.59%, 84/389), keratinocytic tumors (21.08%, 82/389), soft tissue and neural tumors (13.62%, 53/389), and appendageal tumors (10.54%, 41/389). There were 83.03% (323/389) of benign tumors and 16.97% (66/389) of malignant tumors. Melanocytic nevus was the most common benign tumor, mostly involving the labia majora of females and mons pubis of males. Among the malignant tumors, squamous cell carcinoma was relatively common in females (40%, 10/25), while extramammary Paget′s disease was relatively common in males (39.02%, 16/41). The initial misdiagnosis rate of Bowenoid papulosis was the highest (11/11), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (78.26%, 18/23) and basal cell carcinoma (40%, 4/10) ; there was no significant difference in the initial misdiagnosis rate between different gender groups or different age groups (both P>0.5). A total of 367 patients underwent surgical excision under local anesthesia and all showed a good prognosis; the remaining 22 with malignant tumors were treated with photodynamic therapy, extended resection, free flap transfer, etc., and experienced no recurrence during the follow-up of 3 months to more than 3 years. Conclusions:Solid tumors in the perianal and external genitalia regions were polymorphous, melanocytic tumors, keratinocytic tumors and other tumors accounted for a large proportion, while malignant tumors were relatively rare, and some were easily misdiagnosed. Most of the tumors in the regions had a good prognosis, without recurrence after the surgical resection.

Spontaneous abortion is one of the most common complications of pregnancy, and two or more spontaneous abortions in a row are defined as recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), of which about half of patients have unknown etiology. However, the pathogenesis of unexplained RSA (URSA) has not been elucidated, and the lack of effective treatment has made it one of the key and difficult points in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. This article conducts a literature review of recent research on URSA and finds that the pathogenesis of URSA is related to the imbalance of immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface, apoptosis of trophoblast cells, inhibition of angiogenesis, and activation of immune responses. Immunotherapy (including cell therapy, cytokine therapy, and immunosuppressive intervention), hormone drugs, anticoagulant regimens, and traditional Chinese medicine therapies are commonly used in clinical practice to intervene in URSA, but the safety and effectiveness of some therapies are still controversial.

ObjectiveTo assess the level of internal exposure to PCP in a community population in Shanghai, to investigate the factors affecting the level of PCP, and to analyze the correlation between the exposure and thyroid hormone levels. MethodsA total of 464 residents of a community in Shanghai were selected as the study subjects. A questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain the demographic information, dietary situation, lifestyle and behavioral habits, and disease history of the individuals, and blood samples were collected. Gas chromatography-electron trap was applied to determine the PCP levels in serum. Multicategorical logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the possible influencing factors of PCP exposure in humans. Thyroid hormone levels were used as the dependent variable and serum PCP as the independent variable. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the association between PCP and thyroid hormones in the community population after controlling the confounding factors such as age, gender, literacy, annual personal income, and chronic diseases. ResultsThe detection rate of serum PCP in 464 subjects was 90.3%, and the median serum PCP level was 0.43 μg·L-1. The differences in PCP levels among different age groups were statistically significant. There were no significant differences in PCP levels among different gender and BMI groups. The study of PCP exposure factors showed that age, frequency of using plastic products, consumption of freshwater fish, type of occupation, annual income, and consumption of tea or coffee were the potential influencing factors for PCP exposure. Among them, age, frequency of using plastic products, consumption of tea or coffee, and consumption of freshwater fish were positively associated with PCP levels, and annual personal income was negatively associated with it. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that among men, PCP levels were positively correlated with TSH (b=0.105, 95%CI:0.017‒0.313) and negatively correlated with FT4 (b=-0.026, 95%CI:-0.057‒0.004), and among women, PCP levels were positively correlated with TSH (b=0.092, 95%CI:-0.211‒0.904) and FT3 (b=0.017, 95%CI:-0.058‒0.230) and negatively correlated with FT4 (b=-0.013, 95%CI:-0.011‒0.037). ConclusionSerum PCP detection is common among community residents in Shanghai. Different demographic characteristics or behavioral habits may increase or decrease PCP exposure. PCP exposure then affects human thyroid hormone levels.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on walking function of stroke patients at recovery stage. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to January, 2022, 60 stroke inpatients at recovery stage from Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into group A (n = 20), group B (n = 20) and group C (n = 20). All the groups accepted conventional rehabilitation therapy and lower limb robot-assisted training, while group B accepted pseudo-rTMS, and group C accepted high-frequency rTMS, for four weeks. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), Timed 'Up and Go' Test (TUGT) and gait analysis before and after treatment. ResultsThe score of FMA-LE, TUGT, pace, stride width, stride, double support phase time, affected side support phase time, affected side swing phase time, healthy side support phase time and healthy side swing phase time improved after treatment in all the groups (|t| > 5.990, P < 0.001), and all the indexes improved the most in group C (F > 3.210, P < 0.05), except double support phase time. ConclusionHigh-frequency rTMS could facilitate the recovery of lower limb function and walking of stroke patients at recovery stage.

Objective:To explore the prescription and medication law of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) compounds in the treatment of vascular dementia (VD) based on patent database.Methods:TCM compounds with patents about VD were retrieved from Chinese patent announcement website of the State Intellectual Property Office and CNKI. The retrieval time was from the establishment to the databases to 31 st, March 2022. The frequency, clusteringand association analysis were carried out with the help of TCM inheritance auxiliary platform (V2.5). The medication law was analyzed. Results:154 TCM compound patents for the treatment of vascular dementia were screened, involving 227 kinds of Chinese materia medica. Among them, Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma (44 times, 28.57%) was used more frequently, and the common medicinal pair was Salviea Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma- Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma (17 times, 11.03%). The medicinal property was mainly warm, the taste was mainly sweet, and the meridian was mainly liver meridian. Those with high confidence based on association rules were " Corni Fructus -Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma" (0.90), " Corni Fructus -Rehmannize Radix et Praeparata" (0.90). Based on the complex network, it was concluded that the core drugs were 14 groups such as " Rehmannize Radix et Praeparata- Cistanches Herba- Corni Fructus". The new prescriptions extracted by entropy cluster analysis included 7 groups such as " Rehmannize Radix et Praeparata, Cistanches Herba, Corni Fructus and Asparagi Radix". Conclusion:The treatment of VD by TCM compounds with national patents is mainly based on tonifying deficiency, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, eliminating phlegm and dampness, expelling wind and dredging collaterals, opening orifices and resuscitation, which can provide reference for clinical practice and new drug research and development.

Objective:To explore the differential diagnosis value of preoperative D-dimer in renal oncocytoma (RO) and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (Ch-RCC) .Methods:From January 2015 to April 2022 in the Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University, clinical data of 47 cases of rare renal tumors were collected. According to postoperative pathology, patients were divided into RO group (15 cases) and Ch-RCC group (32 cases). General clinical data and preoperative blood indicators were analyzed. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were performed to evaluate the differential diagnosis value of D-dimer between RO and Ch-RCC.Results:There were no significant differences between two groups in gender ( χ2=0.41, P=0.522), age ( t=0.50, P=0.618), hypertension ( χ2<0.01, P=0.994), diabetes ( P=0.541), smoking history ( χ2=1.67, P=0.196), tumor laterality ( χ2=0.67, P=0.414). Besides, preoperative D-dimer was significantly higher in the Ch-RCC group [0.47 (0.29, 0.77) μg/ml] in comparison with RO group [0.21 (0.19, 0.27) μg/ml], with a statistically significant difference ( Z=4.44, P<0.001). In addition, there were no significant differences in hemoglobin ( t=-1.61, P=0.116), platelet ( t=0.26, P=0.800), leucocyte ( t=0.10, P=0.921), neutrophil ( t=-0.87, P=0.390), lymphocyte ( Z=0.82, P=0.418), monocyte ( Z=1.43, P=0.153), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio ( Z=0.09, P=0.927), platelet-lymphocyte ratio ( t=0.42, P=0.676), and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio ( Z=-0.96, P=0.338) between Ch-RCC group and RO group. ROC curve analysis showed that when the cut-off value of preoperative D-dimer was 0.78 μg/ml, the AUC for differential diagnosis of RO and Ch-RCC was 0.90 (95% CI: 0.82-0.99, P<0.001), with a sensitivity of 0.78 and a specificity of 1.00. Conclusion:Preoperative level of D-dimer is significantly increased in Ch-RCC patients, which exhibits favourable preoperative differential diagnosis value between Ch-RCC and RO.
