Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

The condition of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) complicated by corona virus 2019 disease (COVID-19) is complex. sTBI can significantly increase the probability of COVID-19 developing into severe or critical stage, while COVID-19 can also increase the surgical risk of sTBI and the severity of postoperative lung lesions. There are many contradictions in the treatment process, which brings difficulties to the clinical treatment of such patients. Up to now, there are few clinical studies and therapeutic norms relevant to sTBI complicated by COVID-19. In order to standardize the clinical treatment of such patients, Critical Care Medicine Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Healthcare and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Chinese expert consensus on clinical treatment of adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury complicated by corona virus infection 2019 ( version 2023) based on the joint prevention and control mechanism scheme of the State Council and domestic and foreign literatures on sTBI and COVID-19 in the past 3 years of the international epidemic. Fifteen recommendations focused on emergency treatment, emergency surgery and comprehensive management were put forward to provide a guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of sTBI complicated by COVID-19.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

Objective:To explore the application value of single source dual energy CT (DECT) scanning technique in improving the image quality of the pancreas.Methods:Imaging data of 21 patients with normal pancreas and 36 patients with pancreas related diseases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from July 2021 to August 2021 were collected. All the patients first underwent multi-slice CT (MDCT) scan with no-contrast, and then dynamic enhanced MDCT scan. And the DECT scan was used in the delay period. Virtual single energy images (VMI, 40~100keV) of normal pancreas and mixed energy images of pancreatic lesions (PI, 80 and 140kVp) were obtained. The regions of interest (ROI) of fat on abdominal wall, normal pancreas and abdominal aorta were delineated, the CT values and standard deviation (SD) of each ROI were measured and recorded, and the pancreatic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each energy image were calculated. The objective index and subjective score of VMI(40-100keV) and PI (80kVp and 140kVp) with iodine (water) base map and VMI best CNR were compared between groups. The correlation between VMI(40-100keV) and PI(80, 140kVp) with iodine (water) base map and VMIbest CNR was analyzed by univariate regression.Results:In VMI(40-100keV) of normal pancreas, the highest SNR value was VMI best CNR and iodine (water) base map, and the highest CNR values were VMI 60keV and iodine (water) base map. There were significant differences on SNR and CNR values between different energy VMI and iodine (water) base map ( P<0.05). Among the four images of PI 80kVp, PI 140kVp, VMI best CNR and iodine (water) base map for pancreatic lesions, the SNR and CNR values of iodine (water) base map were the highest. The SNR and CNR values of VMI best CNR were higher than those of PI 80kVp, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The lesion significance and edge sharpness score of iodine (water) base map was the highest, which was better than other groups; the lesion significance and edge sharpness score of VMI best CNR was better than PI 140kVp, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of univariate regression analysis showed that the SNR values of PI 80kVp, PI 140kVp and VMI best CNR for pancreatic lesions were positively correlated with those of the iodine (water) base map ( P<0.05), the CNR values of PI 140kVp and VMI best CNR images were positively correlated with the iodine (water) base map ( P<0.05), and the SNR and CNR values of PI 140kVp were positively correlated with VMI best CNR ( P<0.05). Conclusions:VMI with different energy and iodine (water) base maps can be obtained by single source DECT enhanced scanning of pancreas related diseases. The VMI best CNR was the best among all VMIs, while the SNR and CNR values of iodine (water) base maps were the highest in all images. The VMI best CNR and iodine (water) base maps can improve the image quality of pancreas related diseases.

Objective:To verify the predictive value of fully-automated 3D volume segmentation of CT images for the overall survival prognosis of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Methods:From July 2018 to March 2019, the clinical data of 198 cases of resectable PDAC were continuously collected in the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University. According to the level of carbohydrate antigen(CA)19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), the patient were divided into low CA19-9 group(≤210 U/ml ), high CA19-9 group (>210 U/ml ), normal CEA group (<5 ng/ml ) and high CEA group (≥5 ng/ml). Using our fully-automated segmentation tool developed in the early stage, images at the plain phase and portal phase were matched to those at the late artery phase by taking the artery phase as the matching target to establish UNet model; and the PDAC tumor and pancreatic glands were three-dimensionally segmented to estimate the tumor 3D volume. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to compare the tumor 3D volume with the common preoperative risk factors (tumor 2D long diameter, CA19-9 level, CEA level, etc.) in predicting the patients′ survival. C-index was used to estimate the accuracy for predicting the survival. Receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) was drawn and AUC was calculated to evaluate the accuracy for predicting the 1-year and 2-year overall survival and the influence of CA19-9 and CEA level on the patients′ overall survival.Results:Univariate logistic analysis showed that age, tumor 3D volume, tumor location, CA19-9 and CEA level were correlated with the patients′ overall survival. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that tumor 3D volume, CA199 and CEA were correlated with the overall survival. Among them, tumor 3D volume was most strongly correlated with the overall survival ( HR=2.25, 95% CI1.49-3.39, P<0.0001). The prognostic C-index of automatic 3D tumor volume, tumor long diameter, serum CEA and CA19-9 was 0.667(95% CI0.617-0.717), 0.637(0.583-0.691), 0.593(0.527-0.659) and 0.585(0.526-0.644), respectively. The AUCs of 3D tumor volume, tumor location, tumor long diameter, serum CEA and CA19-9 for predicting 1-year and 2-year survival were 0.726 and 0.698, 0.562 and 0.562, 0.703 and 0.660, 0.583 and 0.624, 0.602 and 0.609 respectively. C-index and AUC of tumor 3D volume was significantly better than those of the other common preoperative risk factors, and the difference was statistically significant (all P value <0.05). The survival of patients with large tumor 3D volume was greatly poorer than that of patients with small tumor 3D volume in low CA19-9 group, high CA19-9 group, normal CEA group and high CEA group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( HR=2.27, 95% CI 1.39-3.72; HR=2.42, 95% CI1.23-4.74; HR=2.08, 95% CI1.07-4.06; HR=2.67, 95% CI1.63-4.38, all P value <0.01). And the automatic 3D volume was the strongest predictor for the survival in high CA19-9 group. Conclusions:The tumor 3D volume obtained by automatic CT segmentation was an objective and reliable prognostic biomarker, which can supplement the established preoperativel risk factors and was expected to guide the personalized choice of neoadjuvant therapy.

The chemical extraction method was used to prepare the rat uterine decellularized scaffolds, and to investigate the feasibility of preparing the extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel. The rat uterus were collected and extracted by 1%sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 3% TritonX-100 and 4% sodium deoxycholate (SDC) in sequence. Scanning electron microscopy, histochemical staining and immunohistochemistry was used to assess the degree of decellularization of rat uterine scaffold. The prepared decellularized scaffold was digested with pepsin to obtain a uterine ECM hydrogel, and the protein content of ECM was determined by specific ELISA kit. Meanwhile, the mechanical characteristic of ECM hydrogel was measured. The results showed that the chemical extraction method can effectively remove the cells effectively in the rat uterine decellularized scaffold, with the ECM composition preserved completely. ECM hydrogel contains a large amount of ECM protein and shows a good stability, which provides a suitable supporting material for the reconstruction of endometrium .

[Objective]To study the dental status,the development of jaw and the size of sella turcica of children with ectoder-mal dysplasia(ED).[Methods]Panaramic radiography and lateral cephalograms of six ED individuals(age range of 6~7 years,five males and one female)were obtained. The dental status was record. 17 measurements about the jaws and the sella turcica were mea-sured and compare them to Chinese children without ED syndrome.[Results]The mean number of missing teeth was 22.3 in perma-nent dentition and 16.2 in primary dentition;The teeth that most likely to absent were permanent lateral incisor ,maxillary first premo-lar,maxillary primary lateral incisor and mandibular primary central incisor,and all remaining teeth are in conical shape. Lateral cephalometric measurements showed that all ED subjects had lower ANS-Ptm,which suggested a short maxilla. Low Co-Po,ANB, NA-PA,N-Me,N-ANS and ANS-Me values that were found in all subjects,as well as low SNA,Y-axis,MP-FH,S-Co,and high SNB,NP-FH,NP-FH that were noted in some subjects showed counterclockwise rotation and protrusion of mandible with short-er length in ED subjects. Some subjects had low ANS-Me/N-Me × 100%and high N-ANS/N-Me × 100%,representing a short facial height. Five cases represented lower length and diameter of sella turcica;two cases showed lower depth of sella turcica ,indicating the abnormal development of sella turcica.[Conclusion]The results of this study suggest that the dentition ,jaws and sella turcica in ED children differs when compared to individuals without this syndrome.

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare congenital disorder, typically characterized by persistently open skull sutures, aplastic or hypoplastic clavicles, and supernumerary teeth. Mutations in the gene encoding the runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) protein are responsible for approximately two thirds of CCD patients. We report a 20-year-old CCD patient presenting not only with typical skeletal changes, but also complex dental anomalies. A previously undiagnosed odontoma, 14 supernumerary teeth, a cystic lesion, and previously unreported fused primary teeth were discovered on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Mutation analysis identified the causal c.578G>A (p.R193Q) mutation in the RUNX2 gene. At 20 years of age, the patient had already missed the optimal period for dental intervention. This report describes the complex dental anomalies in a belatedly diagnosed CCD patient, and emphasizes the significance of CBCT assessment for the detection of dental anomalies and the importance of early treatment to achieve good outcomes.
