Objective:To investigate the diagnostic consistency of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) assessed by the Fenton 2013 preterm growth charts (Fenton 2013) and the growth charts by International Fetal and Newborn Growth Consortium for the 21st Century (IG-21).Methods:This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 5 591 preterm infants with a gestational age (GA) at birth of less than 32 weeks admitted to 19 member hospitals of the Neonatal Perinatal Collaborative Network of Suxinyun from January 1 st, 2019, to December 31 st, 2024. Clinical data including baseline characteristics, complications, feeding practices and anthropometrics were processed and analyzed. EUGR was assessed using both the Fenton 2013 and the IG-21. A decrease in weight Z-score at discharge compared to admission by more than 1 was defined as longitudinal EUGR, and discharge weight below the P10 for the corresponding corrected GA was defined as cross-sectional EUGR. Diagnostic consistency was assessed using the Kappa coefficient between the 2 standards, and diagnostic performance of the 2 standards was compared using the McNemar test. Risk factors for EUGR under different definitions were analyzed using univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results:A total of 5 591 preterm infants were included, with a GA at birth of (29.7±1.6) weeks and a birth weight of (1 360±315) g and at discharge with a corrected GA of (36.3±2.0) weeks and weight of (2 246±370) g. Detection rates of cross-sectional and longitudinal EUGR diagnosed by Fenton 2013 were both higher than those by IG-21 (37.0% (2 214/5 991) vs. 23.7% (1 324/5 591), 61.1% (3 662/5 991) vs. 30.7% (1 714/5 591), χ2=326.77 and 1 358.05, both P<0.001). Using Fenton 2013 as a reference, IG-21 demonstrated superior diagnostic value and consistency in identifying cross-sectional EUGR compared with longitudinal EUGR (sensitivity of 100.0% (3 377/3 377) vs. 99.6% (1 922/1 929), specificity of 59.8% (1 324/2 214) vs. 46.6% (1 707/3 662), positive predictive value of 79.1% (3 377/4 267) vs. 49.6% (1 922/3 877), negative predictive value of 100.0% (1 324/1 324) vs. 99.6% (1 707/1 714), accuracy of 84.1% (4 701/5 591) vs. 64.9% (3 629/5 591), and Kappa 0.64 vs. 0.37, all P<0.001). In multivariate Logistic regression models, risk factors common to EUGR across both standards included smaller GA at birth, lower birth weight, boy, early-onset sepsis, late-onset sepsis and the elder age at full enteral feeding (all P<0.05). Hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus remained an independent risk factor for longitudinal EUGR regardless of whether by the Fenton 2013 or IG-21 standard (adjust odds ratio ( aOR) =1.25 and 1.27, 95% CI 1.09-1.42 and 1.11-1.45). In addition, under the IG-21 standard, severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia was an independent risk factor for cross-sectional EUGR ( aOR=1.54, 95% CI 1.00-2.38), while severe necrotizing enterocolitis was an independent risk factor for longitudinal EUGR ( aOR=2.18, 95% CI 1.01-4.73). Conclusions:IG-21 showed lower detection rates of both cross-sectional and longitudinal EUGR than Fenton 2013, suggesting greater clinical applicability of IG-21 by reducing overdiagnosis while maintaining sensitivity for predicting complications. Across both standards, cross-sectional EUGR facilitates early identification of growth restriction, whereas longitudinal EUGR better tracks dynamic growth patterns and complications of preterm infants.

Objective FOCUS-PDCA was applied to reduce the defect rate on the front page of medical records,and provide high quality data of medical records for medical institutions and administrative departments at all levels.Methods Start-ing from the increase of problems on the home page of a hospital in the"post-epidemic period",FOCUS-PDCA management mode was used,according to nine implementation steps,quality management tools such as Gantt chart,fishbone map and Plato were used to focus on,analyze and solve problems,and constantly repeated problems.The number of defects and the rate of defects on the front page of hospitalization records from January to March 2023 were taken as the control group to compare the changes before and after the implementation of the project.Results From January to March 2023,the number of defects on the homepage was 1 734,and the defect rate was 15.14％.After the implementation of the project,the number of defects on the homepage of Octo-ber to December 2023 was 890,and the defect rate was 6.54％,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The method of applying FOCUS-PDCA to reduce the defect rate on the front page of inpatient medical records is ef-fective,which plays an important role in promoting the improvement of the quality of data such as basic patient information,hos-pitalization process information,and diagnosis and treatment information.

As the main anatomical structure of the oral and maxillofacial region,occlusion,temporomandibular joint(TMJ),and masticatory muscles are the structural basis for the stomatognathic system to perform such basic vital functions as chewing,swallo-wing,and speech.In both anatomical and functional aspects,the three parts are harmoniously co-existing and inseparable.Al-though the relationship between occlusal disorders and temporomandibular disorders(TMD)has been studied for more than 100 years,it is still controversial issue in the field.In order to provide strategic reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of TMD,the anatomical and physiological correlation among the three parts,the origin of TMD,inspiration from some related clinical litigation cases,the evidence of animal experiments,and why the influence of occlusion disorders on the onset and development of TMD is low,will be discussed in this review.

We reported a case with huge mass in the anterior neck region, which pathological diagnosis was thyroid metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). A tracheotomy was performed, and a tracheostomy tube was placed because of postoperative dyspnea. Thyroid metastasis from HCC is very rare. The causes include hematogenous metastasis, lymphatic metastasis and other factors. Furthermore, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection also plays an important role in tumor progression. Combined with the literature review, surgical resection of thyroid in the treatment of metastatic thyroid malignant tumors can prolong the survival. In clinical work, it is still necessary to develop a reasonable, standardized and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment strategy to improve the quality of life of patients and the therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To summarize the short-term results of valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) in the treatment of bioprosthetic valve failure after aortic valve replacement. Methods We reviewed the clinical data of patients who underwent ViV-TAVI from 2021 to 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The valve function was evaluated by echocardiography before operation, immediately after operation and 3 months after operation. The all-cause death and main complications during hospitalization were analyzed. Results A total of 13 patients were enrolled, including 8 males and 5 females with a mean age of (65.9±8.5) years, and the interval time between aortic valve replacement and ViV-TAVI was (8.5±3.4) years. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons mortality risk score was 10.3%±3.2%. None of the 13 patients had abnormal valve function after operation. The mean transvalvular pressure gradient of aortic valve was decreased (P<0.001), the peak flow velocity of aortic valve was decreased (P<0.001), and the left ventricular ejection fraction was not changed significantly (P=0.480). There were slight perivalvular leakage in 2 patients and slight valve regurgitation in 3 patients. Three months after operation, the mean transvalvular pressure difference and peak flow velocity of aortic valve in 12 patients were significantly decreased compared with those before operation (P≤0.001). Conclusion This study demonstrates that ViV-TAVI for the treatment of bioprosthetic valve failure after aortic valve replacement is associated with favorable clinical and functional cardiovascular benefits, the short-term results are satisfactory.

Objective To investigate the expression of kinesin family member 23(KIF23)in rectal cancer and its association with prognosis.Methods This study included 90 patients with rectal cancer who underwent surgical treatment at the First Central Hospital of Baoding from May 2017 to October 2019.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect KIF23 expression,and the results were analyzed in combination with clinical and pathological data.Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazards models to assess the association between KIF23 expression and patient prognosis.Results Compared with adjacent non-tumor tis-sues,the expression level of KIF23 protein was significantly higher in rectal cancer tissues.Positive expression of KIF23 was significantly correlated with TNM stage,lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis in rectal cancer patients(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that individuals expressing high levels of KIF23 experienced notably diminished disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS)relative to those with low KIF23 expression(P＜0.05).Cox regression analysis revealed that advanced TNM stage,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis,and elevated KIF23 expression served as an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in pa-tients with rectal cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusions The expression level of KIF23 is closely related to the prognosis of rectal cancer.
