Objective This study aimed to investigate the correlation of cerebral perfusion and cognitive function status in patients with minor stroke(MS)or transient ischemic attack(TIA)complicated by severe intracranial arterial stenosis or occlusion(hereafter referred to as ICAS-MSTIA).Methods Retrospectively enrol consecutive ICAS-MSTIA patients admitted to the Department of Neurology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,from June 2023 to May 2024.In the meantime,healthy controls were openly recruited.The ICAS-MSTIA patients were divided into two groups based on the side of intracranial large artery stenosis or occlusion:the left intracranial large artery involvement group and the right intracranial large artery involvement group.All patients with intracranial large artery stenosis or occlusion underwent MR scanning within 2 weeks after the first episode of TIA or MS,while there was no specific time requirement for MR examination in the healthy control group.On the day of MR scanning,the Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)scale was used to evaluate the participants'global cognitive function and performance in various cognitive domains,including visuospatial/executive function,naming,attention,language,abstraction,delayed recall,and orientation.General information of all participants was collected,including age,sex,educational level,body mass index,and history of smoking and alcohol consumption.Clinical data were collected from both left and right intracranial large artery involvement groups,including cerebrovascular risk factors(such as,diabetes mellitus,hypertension,and hyperlipidemia),National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score at admission,responsible stenotic or occluded arteries(internal carotid artery,middle cerebral artery),degree of stenosis in the responsible vessel(severe stenosis[stenosis rate 70%-99%],occlusion[stenosis rate100%])and non-responsible vessel(no stenosis[0],mild stenosis[stenosis rate＞0-49%]),collateral circulation compensation(American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology[ASTIN/SIR]collateral circulation classification),and responsible events(TIA,MS).General data and MoCA scale scores were compared across the three groups,while clinical data were compared between the left and right intracranial large artery involvement groups.Statistical parametric mapping 12(SPM 12)was used to perform voxel-wise independent samples t-tests on cerebral blood flow(CBF)differences among the left ICAS-MSTIA group,right ICAS-MSTIA group,and healthy control group,with cluster-level family-wise error(FWE)correction applied for adjustment.Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between global CBF values and total MoCA scores in ICAS-MSTIA patients with left or right intracranial large artery involvement.Results A total of 33 ICAS-MSTIA patients and 33 healthy controls were enrolled in the study.Among the ICAS-MSTIA patients,21 had left intracranial large artery involvement and 12 had right involvement.(1)Among the three groups,statistically significant differences were observed in the proportions of individuals with reported smoking history(P=0.024)and alcohol consumption history(P=0.011).The left intracranial large artery involvement group had a higher NIHSS score(0[0,2]vs.0[0,0],P=0.044)and a higher proportion of patients with internal carotid artery involvement(13/21 cases vs.2/12 cases,P=0.027)compared with the right side group.No statistically significant differences were observed in other general or clinical data across the three groups or between the two non-control groups(all P＞0.05).(2)Statistically significant differences were found across the three groups in the MoCA scale total score and scores of visuospatial/executive function,attention,language,abstraction,delayed recall,and orientation cognitive domains(all P＜0.05),while no significant difference was noted in the naming score(P=0.063).The left intracranial large artery involvement group had lower total MoCA score and lower scores in visuospatial/executive function,attention,language,abstraction,delayed recall,and orientation in comparison to the healthy control group(all P＜0.016 7).The right intracranial large artery involvement group had significantly lower scores in language,abstraction,and orientation domains than the healthy control group(all P＜0.016 7).Additionally,the left side group had a lower attention domain score than the right side group(P＜0.016 7).No other statistically significant differences were found in pairwise comparisons(all P＞0.016 7).(3)Patients in both the left and right intracranial large artery involvement groups exhibited a significant decrease in CBF in extensive regions on the affected side,including the temporal lobe,dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,and occipital lobe.Furthermore,after correction,in the left involvement group CBF was higher in the contralateral lingual gyrus,cuneus,and calcarine sulcus compared with the healthy control group(P＜0.05).While in the right involvement group,no regions had increased CBF compared to the healthy control group.(4)Multiple linear regression showed positive correlation between CBF in ipsilateral precentral gyrus and superior temporal gyrus,and the total MoCA score in patients with left intracranial large artery involvement(FWE-corrected,P＜0.05).In contrast,there was no correlation between CBF and total MoCA score in patients with right intracranial large artery involvement.Conclusions ICAS-MSTIA patients exhibited various degrees of impairment in cerebral perfusion and cognitive function.A significant positive correlation is observed between these two impairments in patients with left intracranial large artery involvement.

Objective:To analyze the differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with adenomyosis of different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) types and the differences in treatment effects after the application of dienogest.Methods:A total of 176 patients with adenomyosis who were admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from June 2017 to February 2023 were included in the study, and all of them were clearly classified by pelvic MRI and treated with dienogest. The clinical characteristics and treatment of the patients were retrospectively collected, and the patients were divided into endogenous type, exogenous type and penetrating type by MRI. The differences in clinical symptoms, imaging features and treatment effect of patients with adenomyosis of different MRI types were analyzed.Results:(1) The percentages of patients with endogenous, exogenous, and penetrating types were 40.9% (72/176), 35.2% (62/176) and 23.9% (42/176), respectively. The proportion of dysmenorrhea in patients with endogenous type (90.3%, 65/72) was significantly lower than those of exogenous type (100.0%, 62/62) and penetrating type (97.6%, 41/42; χ2=7.853, P=0.020), while there was no significant difference between exogenous type and penetrating type ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in menarche time, menstrual cycle and menstrual period among the three types of patients (all P>0.05), there was also no statistically significant difference in the proportion of menstrual abnormalities (including heavy and irregular menstrual bleeding; P>0.05). The proportions of ovarian endometrioma and deep infiltrating endometriosis in exogenous and penetrating types were significantly higher than that in endogenous type (all P<0.05). (2) The pain scores of all patients were significantly lower than those before treatment (all P<0.001), the proportion of patients with exogenous type (62.9%, 39/62) who had complete remission after treatment was higher than those of endogenous type (49.2%, 32/65) and penetrating type (46.3%, 19/41), but there was no significant difference in pain relief (i.e. the variation in the pain scores) between the three types ( P>0.05). (3) Endogenous type ( OR=0.361, 95% CI: 0.147-0.883; P=0.026), failure to apply gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in advance ( OR=0.208, 95% CI: 0.083-0.518; P<0.001), cystic changes ( OR=2.671, 95% CI: 1.108-6.437; P=0.029) and abnormal menstruation ( OR=3.466, 95% CI: 1.464-8.209; P=0.005) were independent risk factors for irregular bleeding after dienogest treatment. Conclusions:(1) There are obvious differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with adenomyosis of different MRI types, and patients with exogenous and penetrating types are more likely to have dysmenorrhea symptoms. (2) Dienogest could significantly alleviate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea in patients with adenomyosis. (3) Endogenous type, failure to take GnRH-a in advance and associated menstrual abnormalities are independent risk factors for irregular bleeding after dienogest treatment.

Objective This study aims to analyze the adverse event reporting situation,in order to provide suggestions and reference value for hospital adverse event management,and to ensure medical safety.Methods 1459 cases of adverse event reports from a certain hospital's adverse event system from January 1,2023 to December 31,2023 were selected,and the current management status of adverse events was analyzed.Results In the category of adverse events,the top three are drug adverse re-actions,medical equipment,and medical management;in terms of adverse event levels,there was one level Ⅰ event and 56 levelⅡ events;the main causes of adverse events were related to reporting processes,system implementation,and employee manage-ment.Conclusion Strengthening the management of adverse events,paying attention to training in reporting processes,enhan-cing training for employees and adverse event management personnel,and improving systems are necessary to effectively ensure medical safety,and promote the stable development of hospitals.

Objective:To investigate the impact of different target sites, number of treatments, and age on setup errors in dual-isocenter radiotherapy for breast cancer, and to provide a basis for planning target volume (PTV) margin expansion.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 15 patients with left-sided breast cancer who underwent dual-isocenter breath-hold radiotherapy in the Department of Radiotherapy Oncology at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 2021 to May 2023. Setup errors were acquired using a Varian TrueBeam STX linear accelerator. Patients were grouped by target site (supraclavicular/chest wall), treatment phase (early/late), and age (younger/older). Non-parametric tests were used to analyze differences in setup errors in : vertical (Vrt), longitudinal (Lng), lateral (Lat) directions, and pitch, roll, and rotation (Rtn) angles. The formula proposed by van Herk was applied to calculate PTV margins.Results:The Vrt direction setup error in the supraclavicular region (0.2 cm) was smaller than that in the chest wall region (0.26 cm), but errors and margin expansions in other directions were larger ( P<0.05 for Lng and Lat directions). No significant correlation was observed in Vrt direction errors between the two sites ( P=0.062), while significant correlations were found in the other directions and angles (all P<0.05). As treatment progressed, setup errors increased in the Vrt and Rtn directions for the supraclavicular region, and in the Vrt, Lng, Lat directions and Rtn angle for the chest wall region. Among these, only the increase in Lat direction error for the chest wall region was statistically significant ( P=0.028). The PTV margins in the late phase group (except for the Lat direction of the supraclavicular region) were greater than or equal to those in the early phase group. Elderly patients had significantly larger setup errors than younger patients in Vrt, Lng, and Lat directions for the supraclavicular region, as well as in Vrt and Lat directions for the chest wall region (all P<0.05). Conclusions:In dual-isocenter radiotherapy for breast cancer, the supraclavicular region requires larger PTV margins than the chest wall region, and elderly patients require greater margins overall. Mid-course rescanning is recommended. If cone-beam CT guidance cannot be ensured for every session, expansion of PTV margins should be considered for the supraclavicular region and elderly patients to reduce the risk of geographic miss.

Purpose To investigate the correlation between tumor budding in penile squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)and its clinicopathological features.Methods Clinical data and pathological slides from 69 cases of penile SCC were collected.Tumor budding was examined microscopically,and statistical analyses were performed to assess the relationship between tumor budding and various clinicopathological features.Results Among the 69 cases of pe-nile SCC,41 cases exhibited low-grade tumor budding and 28 cases displayed high-grade tumor budding.Tumor bud-ding was significantly correlated with tumor size,urethral invasion,invasion of the urethral corpus spongiosum,inva-sion of the penile corpus cavernosum,tumor necrosis,nerve invasion,vascular tumor thrombus,and pathological T stage(all P＜0.05).In contrast,no significant association was found between tumor budding and HPV-related versus non-HPV-related penile SCC(P＞0.05).Log-rank survival analysis indicated that patients with high-grade tumor bud-ding had a significantly lower survival rate compared to those with low-grade tumor budding(P＜0.05).Conclusion Tumor budding is a distinct pathological feature of penile SCC,and high-grade tumor budding is associated with a more aggressive biological behavior.

Background and purpose:As one of the first-line treatment methods for differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC),131I treatment is an important therapeutic approach for most patients with medium-high recurrence risk DTC after total or near-total thyroidectomy.Risk stratification and real-time dynamic assessment before 131I treatment after surgery are important steps in deciding on 131I treatment,enabling individualized treatment.This retrospective study aimed to explore the role of diagnostic whole body scan(DxWBS)in the decision-making of treatment for DTC after surgery and before 131I therapy.Methods:DTC patients who underwent pre-ablation evaluation were included.Patients were divided into low,medium and high sTg groups based on their pre-131I treatment stimulated thyroglobulin(sTg)levels(＜1 ng/mL,1 ng/mL≤sTg＜10 ng/mL,sTg≥10 ng/mL).The concordance rates of DxWBS and post treatment whole body scan(RxWBS)in each patient of the whole cohort were compared.The lesion detection rate between DxWBS and RxWBS in different sTg level groups was also explored.The"thyroid stunning effect"by DxWBS was evaluated by RxWBS.Through these analyses,the role of DxWBS in 131I treatment decision-making and its predicting treatment objectives were assessed.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Peking Union Medical College Hospital,Peking Union Medical College,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences(ethics number:JS-2151).Results:A total of 91 patients were included.The low,medium and high sTg groups accounted for 15.4%(14/91),34.1%(31/91)and 50.5%(46/91)of the patients,respectively.Comparison of DxWBS and RxWBS results in the same patients in each sTg group showed no evidence of a stunning effect on 131I treatment.The overall concordance rate between DxWBS and RxWBS was 89.0%(81/91);In different sTg level groups was 100.0%(14/14),90.3%(28/31),84.8%(39/46)respectively.Taking sTg levels into consideration,DxWBS accurately predicted the need for total thyroidectomy,with a 100%(20/20)agreement with RxWBS.Among the 71 patients who received adjuvant therapy and/or remnant ablation due to suspected elevated Tg or high recurrence risk stratification or the iodine-avid metastatic lesions identified by DxWBS,87.5%(63/71)showed only residual thyroid tissue by DxWBS;Through the purpose verification by RxWBS and single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)/CT,only 12.7%(9/71)of cases were verified as adjuvant or tumoricidal treatment due to iodine-avid cervical lymph node and/or lung metastasis identified by RxWBS,87.3%(62/71)were residual thyroid ablation.In the medium and high sTg group,the overall detection rate of functional cervical lymph node metastasis by DxWBS and RxWBS was 5.5%(5/91).For the detection of functional lung metastases,the overall detection rate of DxWBS was slightly lower than that of RxWBS(3.3%vs 5.5%).This indicates that DxWBS can be used to accurately pre-judge the purposes of 131I treatment,particularly for thyroid ablation and adjuvant therapy.Conclusion:DxWBS did not induce"thyroid stunning"effect.Integrating DxWBS as a theranostic tool into the real-time decision-making and evaluation system of 131I treatment,as well as with sTg and other biochemical indicators,may help to bridge the limitations of static evaluations based on pathology and clinical data,and provides a clear understanding and more precise objectives of 131I treatment.

Objective To investigate the neurovascular coupling(NVC)status in the acute phase of patients with minor ischemic stroke(MIS)or transient ischemic attack(TIA)due to intracranial large artery moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion using multimodal MRI techniques and to explore its correlation with quality of life(QoL).Methods This prospective,consecutive study enrolled patients with MIS or TIA due to intracranial large artery moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion form the Department of Neurology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,between June 2022 and October 2023.Recruit healthy subjects with matched age,sex,and handedness form the community during the same period.Patients were divided into left-sided involvement and right-sided involvement groups based on the affected side of the responsible vessel,while the healthy subjects were set as the healthy control group.Post-hoc power analysis was performed using G*Power 3.1 software.General characteristics(age,gender,body mass index,education level)were collected and compared across all three groups.Clinical data and QoL assessment were collected and compared between the two patient groups.Collected clinical data including type of cerebrovascular events(TIA,MIS),the National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score at admission,the responsible vessel(internal carotid artery,middle cerebral artery)and its side location,the degree of responsibility artery stenosis(moderate-severe stenosis[50%-99%stenosis rate],occlusion[100%stenosis rate]),the intracranial collateral circulation status(American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology[ASITN/SIR]collateral circulation grading),cerebrovascular risk factors(hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,smoking history),and the laboratory test indicators at admission(glycated hemoglobin,triglycerides,total cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,blood uric acid,blood homocysteine).QoL was assessed using the stroke impact scale(SIS),covering eight functional domains and a patient-reported overall recovery item.Multimodal MR data were acquired for all subjects.Whole-brain cerebral blood flow(CBF)images were generated using statistics parameter mapping 12(SPM 12)software,while regional homogeneity(ReHo)images were generated using DPABI software.The voxel-wise ratio of CBF to ReHo(CBF/ReHo)was calculated as the regional NVC parameter.Differences in regional NVC characteristics were compared between patient groups and the healthy control group.Correlations between NVC parameters and SIS scores within patient groups were explored.Results(1)A total of 38 patients with MIS or TIA due to intracranial large artery moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion were included(26 males,12 females,aged 36-69 years,with mean age of[52±11]years),with 23 in the left-sided involvement group and 15 in the right-sided involvement group.Nineteen healthy subjects were included(10 males,9 females,aged 37-67 years,with mean age of[53±10]years).Post-hoc power analysis showed statistical power of 0.808 for comparing the left-sided involvement group with the healthy control group and 0.762 for comparing the right-sided involvement group with control group.(2)No statistically significant differences were found on gender,age,education level,or body mass index across the three groups(all P＞0.05).No statistically significant differences were observed on the type of cerebrovascular event,cerebrovascular risk factors,distribution of the responsible vessel,degree of stenosis in the responsible vessel,admission NIHSS score,or laboratory test results between the two patient groups(all P＞0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the total SIS score and the scores of subscales between the two patient groups(all P＞0.05).(3)Compared with the healthy control group,the left-sided involvement group exhibited reduced CBF/ReHo values in the left superior and middle temporal gyri,supramarginal gyrus,middle and inferior frontal gyri,precentral gyrus,angular gyrus,postcentral gyrus,insula,and posterior cerebellar lobe(FDR-corrected,all P＜0.05).In the right-sided involvement group,reduced CBF/ReHo values were observed in the right supramarginal gyrus,right postcentral gyrus,inferior temporal gyrus,and insula(FDR-corrected,all P＜0.05).(4)Correlation analysis revealed that the SIS total score in the left-sided involvement group negatively correlated with CBF/ReHo values in the right inferior frontal gyrus(T=-5.91)and the right middle temporal gyrus(T=-6.65,FDR-corrected,both P＜0.05).The SIS subscale score for activities of daily living in the left-sided involvement group showed negative correlations with CBF/ReHo values in the right angular gyrus(T=-7.36),right medial superior frontal gyrus(T=-6.97),right orbitofrontal cortex(T=-8.99),and left thalamus(T=-7.51,FDR-corrected,all P＜0.05).No significant correlation was observed between the SIS total score and CBF/ReHo values in patients with right-sided involvement group.The SIS subscale for communication score in the right-sided involvement group correlated with CBF/ReHo in the left lingual gyrus(T=-12.15),left olfactory cortex(T=-7.68),and right anterior cingulate and paracingulate cortex(T=-9.46,FDR-corrected,all P＜0.05).Conclusions Patients with MIS or TIA due to intracranial large artery moderate-to-severe stenosis or occlusion show abnormal NVC in the acute phase,especially those with left hemisphere involvement,who exhibit more extensive impairments.QoL in left-sided involvement patients is strongly linked to NVC in the right orbitofrontal cortex and right middle temporal gyrus.These findings require further validation in larger-scale studies.

Objective:To understand the genetic characteristics of varicella-zoster virus（VZV）prevalent in Qinghai province，China since 2020.Methods:A total of 54 pharyngeal swab specimens were collected from sporadic suspected varicella cases in Qinghai province in 2020，2023，and 2024. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used for etiological screening of the specimens. Sequencing of three genes，namely ORF22，ORF38，and ORF62，and single-nucleotide polymorphism（SNP）analysis were performed on VZV nucleic acid-positive specimens.Results:All 54 suspected varicella cases were diagnosed with VZV infection，and three gene sequences were successfully obtained from 53 specimens. The results of genotype identification showed that all VZV infection case specimens obtained in this study in Qinghai province were wild strains. Among them，4 specimens in 2020 were of clade 2 type；among 14 specimens in 2023，7 were of clade 2 type and the remaining 7 were of clade 5 type；among 35 specimens in 2024，27 were of clade5 type，5 were of clade 2 type，and 3 were of clade 4 type. The SNP results showed that in 2023 and 2024，one specimen each had an A→G base mutation at position 37 990，and in 2024，3 specimens had a T→C base mutation at position 37946. Among them，the sequences containing the former mutation have been prevalent and spread in multiple regions of China，and the latter has not been reported in other regions of China.Conclusion:From 2020 to 2024 in Qinghai province，at least three genotypes of VZV，namely clade 2 type，clade 5 type，and clade 4 type，co-prevailed，and the clade 5 genotype of VZV may become the dominant prevalent strain.

Objective:To analyze the differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with adenomyosis of different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) types and the differences in treatment effects after the application of dienogest.Methods:A total of 176 patients with adenomyosis who were admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from June 2017 to February 2023 were included in the study, and all of them were clearly classified by pelvic MRI and treated with dienogest. The clinical characteristics and treatment of the patients were retrospectively collected, and the patients were divided into endogenous type, exogenous type and penetrating type by MRI. The differences in clinical symptoms, imaging features and treatment effect of patients with adenomyosis of different MRI types were analyzed.Results:(1) The percentages of patients with endogenous, exogenous, and penetrating types were 40.9% (72/176), 35.2% (62/176) and 23.9% (42/176), respectively. The proportion of dysmenorrhea in patients with endogenous type (90.3%, 65/72) was significantly lower than those of exogenous type (100.0%, 62/62) and penetrating type (97.6%, 41/42; χ2=7.853, P=0.020), while there was no significant difference between exogenous type and penetrating type ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in menarche time, menstrual cycle and menstrual period among the three types of patients (all P>0.05), there was also no statistically significant difference in the proportion of menstrual abnormalities (including heavy and irregular menstrual bleeding; P>0.05). The proportions of ovarian endometrioma and deep infiltrating endometriosis in exogenous and penetrating types were significantly higher than that in endogenous type (all P<0.05). (2) The pain scores of all patients were significantly lower than those before treatment (all P<0.001), the proportion of patients with exogenous type (62.9%, 39/62) who had complete remission after treatment was higher than those of endogenous type (49.2%, 32/65) and penetrating type (46.3%, 19/41), but there was no significant difference in pain relief (i.e. the variation in the pain scores) between the three types ( P>0.05). (3) Endogenous type ( OR=0.361, 95% CI: 0.147-0.883; P=0.026), failure to apply gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in advance ( OR=0.208, 95% CI: 0.083-0.518; P<0.001), cystic changes ( OR=2.671, 95% CI: 1.108-6.437; P=0.029) and abnormal menstruation ( OR=3.466, 95% CI: 1.464-8.209; P=0.005) were independent risk factors for irregular bleeding after dienogest treatment. Conclusions:(1) There are obvious differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with adenomyosis of different MRI types, and patients with exogenous and penetrating types are more likely to have dysmenorrhea symptoms. (2) Dienogest could significantly alleviate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea in patients with adenomyosis. (3) Endogenous type, failure to take GnRH-a in advance and associated menstrual abnormalities are independent risk factors for irregular bleeding after dienogest treatment.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of primary renal dedifferentiated liposarcoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 10 patients diagnosed with renal dedifferentiated liposarcoma in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to December 2023. The cohort consisted of 8 males and 2 females, with a mean age of (59.0±6.8) years. Tumors were located in the left kidney in 8 cases and in the right kidney in 2 cases. Presentations included flank or abdominal masses in 4 patients, back pain in 3 patients, and asymptomatic in 3 patients. Imaging studies revealed solitary lesions in 9 cases and multiple lesions in 1 case. The maximum tumor diameter ranged from 95 to 178 mm, with a median of 119.5 mm. CT showed tumors within the renal parenchyma with unclear boundaries and displayed a "slow in, slow out" pattern of gradual enhancement. Clinical staging revealed T 2N 0M 0 in 3 cases, T 3N 0M 0 in 4 cases, T 4N 0M 0 in 3 cases, and T 2N 1M 0 in 1 case. Nine patients underwent radical nephrectomy, including 4 laparoscopic surgeries, 4 open surgeries, and 1 robotic-assisted with thrombectomy. One patient, presenting with multiple lymph node metastases confirmed by PET-CT, underwent a diagnostic biopsy. Postoperative pathological features, follow-up and prognosis were analyzed. Results:Pathological specimens appeared grayish-red, grayish-yellow or grayish-white cut surfaces with soft to moderate texture. Microscopically, tumor cells were ovoid or short spindle-shaped with significant atypia and cytoplasmic vacuoles, with visible pathological mitoses. Six cases showed only dedifferentiated components with tumor giant cells and multinucleated giant cells resembling pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, with focal tumor necrosis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed MDM2 gene amplification in all cases. All cases were diagnosed as primary renal dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Pathological staging showed 4 cases as pT 2N 0M 0, 3 cases as pT 3N 0M 0, 2 cases as pT 4N 0M 0, and 1 case lacked pathological staging due to biopsy only. Five patients received postoperative adjuvant therapy, including two pT 2N 0M 0 cases who received immunotherapy and apatinib treatment respectively, with no recurrence. One pT 3N 0M 0 case received anlotinib treatment, with local recurrence after 12 months, followed by radiofrequency ablation combined with chemotherapy. Two pT 4N 0M 0 cases received ifosfamide combined with epirubicin and pirarubicin combined with lobaplatin respectively, with one case showing no progression at 11 months follow-up, and another case developing splenic metastasis 3 months post-surgery, followed by chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy, surviving for 20 months. Among the 4 cases without adjuvant therapy, two pT 2N 0M 0 cases developed multiple metastases within 1 month post-surgery and received immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy and/or chemotherapy, surviving 4-5 months.One of the two pT 3N 0M 0 cases developed local recurrence 2 months post-surgery and received chemotherapy, surviving 6 months, and another pT 3N 0M 0 case developed gluteal subcutaneous metastasis 1 month post-surgery and received immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy, surviving 8 months.One non-surgical pT 2N 1M 0 patient received chemotherapy and survived for 15 months. All patients were followed up for 4-52 months, with a median follow-up time of 11 months. At the last follow-up, 6 patients died and 4 survived. Conclusions:Primary renal dedifferentiated liposarcoma is clinically rare, with atypical symptoms and difficult preoperative diagnosis, relying on pathology for confirmation. Radical nephrectomy is the main treatment method, but surgery alone has poor prognosis with high recurrence and metastasis rates. Adjuvant therapy based on surgery may improve patient prognosis.Larger sample studies are needed for confirmation.
