OBJECTIVE: To investigate lymph node metastasis (LNM) in the prostatic anterior fat pad (PAFP) of PCa patients after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), and analyze the clinicopathological features and prognosis of LNM in the PAFP. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data on 1 003 cases of PCa treated by RARP in the Department of Urology of PLA General Hospital from January 2017 to December 2022. All the patients underwent routine removal of the PAFP during RARP and pathological examination, with the results of all the specimens examined and reported by pathologists. Based on the presence and locations of LNM, we grouped the patients for statistical analysis, compared the clinicopathological features between different groups using the Student's t, Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests, and conducted survival analyses using the Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank methods and survival curves generated by Rstudio. RESULTS: Lymph nodes were detected in 77 (7.7%) of the 1 003 PAFP samples, and LNM in 11 (14.3%) of the 77 cases, with a positive rate of 1.1% (11/1 003). Of the 11 positive cases, 9 were found in the upgraded pathological N stage, and the other 2 complicated by pelvic LNM. The patients with postoperative pathological stage≥T3 constituted a significantly higher proportion in the PAFP LNM than in the non-PAFP LNM group (81.8% ［9/11］ vs 36.2% ［359/992］, P = 0.005), and so did the cases with Gleason score ≥8 (87.5% ［7/8］ vs 35.5% ［279/786］, P = 0.009). No statistically significant differences were observed in the clinicopathological features and biochemical recurrence-free survival between the patients with PAFP LNM only and those with pelvic LNM only. CONCLUSION The PAFP is a potential route to LNM, and patients with LNM in the PAFP are characterized by poor pathological features. There is no statistically significant difference in biochemical recurrence-free survival between the patients with PAFP LNM only and those with pelvic LNM only. Routine removal of the PAFP and independent pathological examination of the specimen during RARP is of great clinical significance.

[Objective] To summarize the diagnosis and treatment of Antopol Goldman lesion (AGL) in clinical practice. [Methods] Clinical data and diagnosis and treatment process of one AGL case treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed. [Results] The patient presented with painless gross hematuria and right-sided lower back pain.Imaging examination suggested swelling of the right kidney, blood accumulation in the right calyx, renal pelvis and lower ureter, blood clot in the bladder, and multiple small stones in the left kidney.After multidisciplinary consultation, close imaging follow-up, interventional and flexible ureterdscope examination, tumors of hematological diseases, renal hematuria, arteriovenous fistula and collection system were excluded.After conservative treatment, the patient gradually recovered.During the follow-up of 1 year, no hematuria or low back pain recurred. [Conclusion] There is no clear diagnostic standard for AGL.Diagnosis relies on imaging, interventional methods and ureteroscopy.It is necessary to exclude other diseases and adopt conservative treatment.

Objective: To analyze the prevalence of comorbidity of spinal curvature abnormality and malnutrition among primary and secondary school students aged 10-18 years in Tianjin in 2023, so as to provide scientific basis for the combined prevention of common diseases and multiple diseases among students and the construction of school health system. Methods: In September to October 2023, 31 884 primary and secondary school students aged 10 to 18 years in Tianjin were selected using stratified cluster random sampling. Abnormal spinal curvature in children and adolescents was assessed by Sereening of Spinal Curvature Abnormality of Children and Adolescents, while stunting, wasting, overweight, and obesity were determined according to the Screening for Malnutrition among Schoolage Children and Adolescents and Screening for Overweight and Obesity among Schoolage Children and Adolescents. The χ2 test was used to compare betweengroup differences in coprevalence, and multiple Logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk of different comorbidity types in different clusters. Results: The coprevalence of spinal curvature abnormality and malnutrition among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin was 1.6%, which was higher for girls than boys (1.8%, 1.4%), higher (2.5%) for senior high schools than for junior high schools and elementary schools (2.0%, 0.5%), and higher in rural than in urban areas (2.1%, 1.1%) (χ2=9.45, 141.92, 46.94, P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression models showed that junior high school girls had a higher risk of incorrect posture comorbid with stunting and wasting (OR=4.52, 95%CI=1.84-11.06) and incorrect posture comorbid with overweight and obesity (OR=2.67, 95%CI=1.74-4.10) than boys, and that scoliosis/sagittal spinal abnormality comorbid with stunting and wasting (OR=0.10, 95%CI=0.02-0.44) risk was lower than that of boys, senior high school girls had a lower risk of scoliosis/sagittal spinal abnormality comorbid with overweight and obesity (OR=0.27, 95%CI=0.11-0.66) (P<0.05). Conclusions The coprevalence of spinal curvature abnormality and malnutrition is specific among primary and secondary school students in Tianjin, and the comorbidity type varies by gender and education stage. There is a need to increase prevention and control of spinal curvature abnormalities in school health working, intensive screening of key populations, and timely intervention.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of assisted reproductive technology (ART) on postpartum breastfeeding outcomes.Methods:This paper electronically retrieved the China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, WanFang Data, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The search period was from database establishment to March 15, 2023. After independent literature search, screening, data extraction, and quality evaluation by two researchers, Meta-analysis was conducted using R 4.2.2 software.Results:A total of 11 articles were included. Meta-analysis showed that compared with naturally conceived mothers, the rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 1th week postpartum ( RR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.73-0.97), exclusive breastfeeding at 6th months postpartum ( RR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.61-0.98), and the incidence of breastfeeding for >6 months postpartum ( RR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.53-0.96) were decreased, and the rate of artificial feeding at 12th months postpartum ( RR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.02-1.17) was increased. However, there were no statistically significant differences in the rate of artificial feeding at 8th months postpartum, the incidence of breastfeeding duration >12 months, and the incidence of breastfeeding difficulties ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:ART reduces the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in postpartum 1th week and 6th months, and the incidence of postpartum breastfeeding duration>6 months, and increases the artificial feeding rate in postpartum 12th months. However, the impact of ART on the incidence of breastfeeding difficulties is not yet clear and still needs to be further demonstrated by high-quality studies.

Objective:To investigate the attributes and influencing factors of care needs for maternal after perinatal loss, and to provide a reference for promoting maternal physical and mental health and improving the quality of care.Methods:From February to June of 2023, a cross-sectional study was used, 222 maternal after perinatal loss were selected by the convenience sampling method and completed a battery of questionnaires, including a general information questionnaire, the Distress Thermometer (DT), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form (ATSPPH-SF) and Kano Model-based Questionnaire on Care Needs for Maternal after Perinatal Loss.Results:A total of 207 maternal after perinatal loss were included in the complete data, (31.12±4.55) years old, (68.64 ± 10.70) of PSSS, (16.10 ± 3.43) of ATSPPH-SF. The care needs for maternal after perinatal loss included 4 must-be quality, 8 one-dimensional quality and 13 attractive quality. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level ( t=2.28), the PSSS score ( t=2.15) and the ATSPPH-SF score ( t=3.94) were the main influencing factors of care needs for maternal after perinatal loss (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Health care professionals should gradually improve the nursing service system according to the priority division of care needs attributes of maternal after perinatal loss, and develop personalized care according to different influencing factors.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the causes of missed diagnosis of clinically significant PCa(csPCa)by targe-ted biopsy(TB).Methods:This retrospective study included 652 males aged(71.32±16.53)years with elevated PSA and ab-normal MRI signals detected in our hospital from June 2018 to December 2020.We further examined the patients by transperineal pros-tatic TB and systematic biopsy(SB),analyzed the detection rates of PCa and csPCa by TB and SB,and investigated the causes of missed diagnosis of csPCa in TB using the fishbone diagram.Results:The total detection rate of PCa and csPCa by TB combined with SB was 45.7%(298/652),and that of csPCa was 37.4%(244/652),with 38 cases of csPCa missed in TB,including 23 cases of negative TB and 15 cases of low ISUP grade.The causes of missed diagnosis of csPCa by TB included low MRI image quality,PSA density≤0.15 ng/ml/cm3,target area<10 mm,and PI-RADS 2 score≤3.The detection rate of csPCa by TB alone was 31.6%,which was increased by 5.8%(P=0.027)when TB combined with SB.Conclusion:TB combined with SB yields a higher de-tection rate of csPCa than either used alone.Missed diagnosis of csPCa by TB is closely related to the characteristics of tumor and MR image of the target area.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and risk of functional dependence in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).Methods:It was a cross-sectional survey study. The clinical data of MHD patients in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June to December 2023 were collected. The Katz and Lawton-Brody questionnaires were used to assess the functional status. The patients were divided into normal functional status group and functional dependence group, and the differences of the clinical data between the two groups were compared. Serum albumin and lymphocytes were used to determine PNI, and the patients were divided into four subgroups: Q1 group (PNI≤44.3), Q2 group (44.349.8) according to the quartile of PNI. Logistic regression analysis method was used to analyze the relationship between PNI and risk of functional dependence in MHD patients, and subgroup analysis was conducted. The receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the efficacy of PNI, serum albumin, and lymphocytes in predicting the risk of functional dependence in MHD patients.Results:A total of 206 MHD patients were included in this study, with age of (58.35±0.98) years old, and 132 (64.1%) males. There were 58 (28.2%) patients with diabetes, 179 (86.9%) patients with hypertension, and 36 (17.5%) patients with cardiovascular diseases. There were 95 (46.1%) patients developing functional dependence. Compared with normal functional status group, functional dependence group had higher age ( t=-6.87, P<0.001), proportion of diabetes ( χ2=6.58, P=0.010), and pulse pressure ( t=-3.17, P=0.002), and lower diastolic pressure ( t=3.88, P<0.001), serum creatinine ( t=3.44, P=0.001), serum albumin ( t=4.09, P<0.001) and PNI ( t=3.92, P<0.001). The incidence of functional dependence in PNI Q1 group (69.2%, 36/52) was significantly higher than those in Q2 group (49.0%, 25/51), Q3 group (34.0%, 18/53) and Q4 group (32.0%, 16/50), and the differences among groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors: age, diabetes, pulse pressure, and serum creatinine, the risk of functional dependence of PNI Q1 group was 3.217 folds higher than that in Q4 group ( OR=3.217, 95% CI 1.229-8.422, P=0.017). The risk probability model of PNI predicting the occurrence of functional dependence in MHD patients: logit (odds)=5.854-0.128 3×PNI. The area under the ROC curve ( AUC) for PNI predicting the risk of functional dependence in MHD patients was 0.66 (95% CI 0.58-0.73, P<0.001), slightly higher than that of serum albumin ( AUC=0.64, 95% CI 0.54-0.73, P<0.001). The optimal cutoff value of PNI predicting the occurrence of functional dependence was 46.15, with sensitivity of 72.07% and specificity of 57.89%. Conclusion:Low PNI is associated with high risk of functional dependence in MHD patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of tension-type headache(TTH)in children and adolescents aged 0-19 years globally in 1990-2021,and to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of TTH.Methods Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study data,the age-standardized prevalence distribution of TTH and its changing trend were analyzed among the children and adolescents aged 0-19 years,with different sexes,age groups,sociodemographic index(SDI)regions and countries/territories.Results The age-standardized prevalence rate(ASPR)of TTH in children and adolescents aged 0-19 globally in 2021 was 17 339.89/100 000,which was increased by 1.73%since 1990.The ASPR in females was slightly higher than that in males(1990:17 707.65/100 000 vs 16 403.78/100 000;2021:17 946.29/100 000 vs 16 763.09/100 000).The ASPR in adolescence was significantly higher than that in school-aged and preschool periods(1990:27 672.04/100 000 vs 10 134.16/100 000;2021:28 239.04/100 000 vs 10 059.39/100 000).Regions with high SDI exhibited a higher ASPR than the other regions,with significant differences in prevalence rates across different countries.From 1990 to 2021,there was a slight increase in global ASPR,with an average annual percentage change(AAPC)of 0.06%.Females experienced a smaller increase than males based on AAPC(0.04%vs 0.07%).There was reduction in ASPR in preschool and school-aged groups,with an AAPC of-0.02%,while there was a significant increase in ASPR in adolescence,with an AAPC of 0.07%.ASPR decreased in regions with low-middle and low levels of SDI,with an AAPC of-0.02%and-0.04%,respectively,while it increased in regions with middle SDI,with an AAPC of 0.24%.Conclusions There is a consistent increase in the ASPR of TTH in children and adolescents aged 0-19 years globally,with significant differences across sexes,age groups,SDI regions and countries/territories.
