Objective:To establish and assess the precision of pre-surgical condyle position planning using mandibular movement trajectory data for orthognathic surgery.Methods:Skull data from large-field cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)and dental oral scan data were imported into IVSPlan 1.0.25 software for 3D reconstruction and fusion,creating 3D models of the maxilla and mandible.Trajectory da-ta of mandibular movement were collected using a mandibular motion recorder,and the data were inte-grated with the jaw models within the software.Subsequently,three-dimensional trajectories of the con-dyle were obtained through matrix transformations,rendering them visually accessible.A senior oral and maxillofacial surgeon with experience in both diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disease and orthognathic surgery selected the appropriate condyle position using the condyle movement trajectory interface.During surgical design,the mobile mandibular proximal segment was positioned accordingly.Routine orthognathic surgical planning was completed by determining the location of the mandibular distal segment,which was based on occlusal relationships with maxilla and facial aesthetics.A virtual mandible model was created by integrating data from the proximal and distal segment bone.Subsequently,a solid model was generated through rapid prototyping.The titanium plate was pre-shaped on the mandibular model,and the screw hole positions were determined to design a condylar positioning guide device.In accordance with the surgical plan,orthognathic surgery was performed,involving mandibular bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy(SSRO).The distal segment of the mandible was correctly aligned inter-maxillary,while the proximal bone segment was positioned using the condylar positioning guide device and the pre-shaped titanium plate.The accuracy of this procedure was assessed in a study involving 10 patients with skeletal class Ⅱ malocclusion.Preoperative condyle location planning and intraoperative po-sitioning were executed using the aforementioned techniques.CBCT data were collected both before the surgery and 2 weeks after the procedure,and the root mean square(RMS)distance between the preope-rative design position and the actual postoperative condyle position was analyzed.Results:The RMS of the condyle surface distance measured was(1.59±0.36)mm(95％CI:1.35-1.70 mm).This value was found to be significantly less than 2 mm threshold recommended by the expert consensus(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The mandibular trajectory may play a guiding role in determining the position of the mandibular proximal segment including the condyle in the orthognathic surgery.Through the use of a con-dylar positioning guide device and pre-shaped titanium plates,the condyle positioning can be personalized and customized with clinically acceptable accuracy.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of lower limb deep vein thrombosis(DVT)after the closed Pilon fracture surgery,and to build a nomograph prediction model.Methods A total of 182 patients with closed Pilon fracture who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from June 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,according to the occurrence of postoperative DVT,the patients were divided into two groups:43 cases in DVT group and 139 cases in non-DVT group.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was applied to screen the risk factors of lower limb DVT after closed Pilon fracture surgery;R software was applied to build a nomograph model for predicting lower limb DVT after closed Pilon fracture surgery,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)and calibration curve were applied to verify the nomograph model.Results Logistic regression analysis showed that the history of diabetes mellitus,risk assessment of thrombosis as medium and high risk,and postoperative infection were independent risk factors for lower limb DVT after closed Pilon fracture surgery(P＜0.05).The area under the ROC curve was 0.716(95％CI:0.629-0.804).The slope of calibration curve was close to 1,and H-L goodness of fit test x2=2.556,P=0.635.Conclusion The history of diabetes,the result of thrombosis risk assessment as"medium-high risk",and the postoperative infection occurred at the surgical site are independent risk factors for lower limb DVT after closed Pilon fracture surgery.The nomogram prediction model constructed by integrating the above three independent risk factors can effectively predict lower limb DVT after closed Pilon fracture surgery,with high differentiation and consistency.

Objective:To prepare water-soluble graphene-based itraconazole antifungal eye drops and evaluate its antifungal activity against Fusarium solani. Methods:By oxidative modification of graphene and modification of polymer materials, water-soluble graphene oxide-modified polyethylene glycol (GO-PEG) composites were prepared.The composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, zeta potential, and Raman spectroscopy.The antifungal drug itraconazole was loaded onto the GO-PEG vector by solvent evaporation method, and itraconazole eye drops were obtained.The drug loading of itraconazole eye drops was measured using a UV and visible spectrophotometer.The antifungal effect in vitro was assessed by the microdilution method and light microscopy. Results:Scanning electron microscopy showed that GO-PEG had a two-dimensional nanosheet structure and many wrinkles.The zeta potential of GO-PEG was -42.40 mV.Raman spectroscopy showed that the ID/ IG of GO-PEG was 1.003.Using the water-soluble GO-PEG vector, a maximum itraconazole concentration of 10 mg/ml was achieved with a 10 000-fold increase in apparent solubility (10 mg/ml vs 0.001 mg/ml). The antifungal results showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration of itraconazole eye drops against Fusarium solani was approximately 1.88 μg/ml, but the GO-PEG vector has no significant antifungal activity against Fusarium solani. Conclusions:GO-PEG achieves effective loading and solubilization of itraconazole, demonstrating an in vitro inhibitory effect on Fusarium solani.

Objective:To investigate the value of the extrahepatic bile duct and main pancreatic duct segment patterns on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for differentiating the periampullary carcinoma (PAC).Methods:The clinicopathologic data of 125 patients with PAC who were admitted to Wuxi No.2 People’s Hospital from June 2013 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 72 males and 53 females, aged (64.9±8.6) years. According to its anatomy, the extrahepatic bile duct (B) was divided into suprapancreatic and intrapancreatic (including ampullary) segments, and the main pancreatic duct (P) was divided into tail-body and head segments. MRCP patterns: i. the extrahepatic bile duct or main pancreatic duct visible without dilatation, ii. cutoff of the distal extrahepatic bile duct or main pancreatic duct with upstream dilatation, iii. cutoff of the intrapancreatic or head segment with upstream dilatation and remnant intrapancreatic or head segments invisible, iv. cutoff of the intrapancreatic or head segment with upstream dilatation and nondilated remnant intrapancreatic or head segments, were represented as 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Segment patterns of B1/P0+ B1/P1, B0/P2+ B0/P3+ B2/P2+ B2/P3+ B3/P3, B3/P0, and B0/P0+ B2/P0 on MRCP were compared in PAC patients.Results:Of the 125 patients, there were 57 (45.6%) with pancreatic head carcinoma, 36 (28.8%) with ampullary carcinoma, 20 (16.0%) with distal cholangiocarcinoma, and 12 (9.6%) with periampullary duodenal carcinoma. Segment patterns of B0/P2+ B0/P3+ B2/P2+ B2/P3+ B3/P3 were found in 52 patients with pancreatic head carcinoma (91.2%, 52/57), with a significant difference between PAC (χ 2=110.66, P<0.001). Segment patterns of B1/P0+ B1/P1were found in 36 patients with ampullary carcinoma (100.0%, 36/36), fallowed by 11 (91.7%, 11/12) with periampullary duodenal carcinoma, with a significant difference between PAC (χ 2=129.95, P<0.001). Segment pattern of B3/P0 presented in 16 patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma (80.0%, 16/20), with a significant difference between PAC (χ 2=62.45, P<0.001). The segment patterns of B0/P0+ B2/P0 were only seen in 3 of 57(5.3%) patients with pancreatic head carcinoma. Conclusion:On MRCP, cutoff of the head segment with upstream dilatation and remnant head segment invisible or nondilated indicates the pancreatic head carcinoma. Cutoff of the intrapancreatic segment with upstream dilatation, remnant intrapancreatic segment visible, and main pancreatic duct nondilated, indicates the distal cholangiocarcinoma. And cutoff of the distal extrahepatic segment with upstream dilatation and main pancreatic duct dilatation or not, indicates the ampullary or periampullary duodenal carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in distant metastatic radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 17 patients with distant metastatic RAIR-DTC (6 males, 11 females, age: 57.0(45.5, 63.0) years) from Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between October 2018 and February 2023, including 13 patients receiving first-line treatment and 4 patients receiving second-line treatment with anlotinib. The changes of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) during the treatment of anlotinib, the changes of maximum diameter of the target lesion at the last follow-up compared with the diameter at baseline, the imaging efficacy, and treatment-related adverse events were analyzed. The serological and imaging effects of the first-line treatment group and the second-line treatment group were compared. The Fisher exact test was used to analyze the differences between groups.Results:The follow-up time of 17 patients was 17.3(9.5, 21.4) months, and the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 7/17 and 16/17, respectively. There were no significant differences of ORR (6/13 vs 1/4; P=0.603) and DCR (13/13 vs 3/4; P=0.235) between the first-line and second-line treatment groups. The change rates of serum Tg at 3, 6 weeks and the last follow-up were -30.2%(-61.2%, -15.5%), -64.8%(-90.6%, -32.3%), and -85.8%(-96.1%, -50.7%), respectively. At the last follow-up, the change rate of maximum diameter of target lesions was -20.0%(-45.0%, -5.2%). The incidence of treatment-related adverse reactions was 14/17, and 2 patients (2/17) had grade 3 or above adverse reactions. Conclusion:Anlotinib shows superior efficacy with tolerable toxicity in the first-line treatment of distant metastatic RAIR-DTC, and hopefully plays an important role in second-line treatment for RAIR-DTC resistant to sorafenib.

Objective:To compare the effect of F7.5 ureteroscope and other types of ureteroscope (F8.5, F9.0, F9.2, F9.6) in the control of intrapelvic pressure during operation.Methods:F7.5 super thin flexible ureteroscope and other 4 kinds of disposable flexible ureteroscopes (F8.5, F9.0, F9.2, F9.6) were combined with 3 kinds of ureteral guidance sheaths to form 15 endoscope-sheath combinations. The real outer diameter of each flexible ureteroscope was measured and the effective ratio of endoscope-sheath diameter was calculated. The real outer diameter of each soft mirror was measured and the effective sheath ratio was calculated. The irrigation during lithotripsy was simulated in a 3D printed kidney model, the irrigation pressure of 50-500 cmH 2O was set, and the stable intrapelvic pressure and flow rate were measured. The line chart was drawn and the relationship between intrapelvic pressure and irrigation pressure was analyzed by linear regression. The intrapelvic pressure between different endoscope-sheath combinations and different endoscope groups were compared respectively. Results:The ratio of endoscope-sheath diameter for all combinations ranges from 0.62 to 0.92, with 0.75, 0.68 and 0.62 for the F7.5 flexible ureteroscopes and F10/12, F11/13 and F12/14 sheath combinations respectively. Intrapelvic pressure and flow rate showed an approximately linear relationship with irrigation pressure in all groups. The F7.5 flexible scope with the F10/12, F11/13 and F12/14 sheaths all provided intrapelvic pressures below 40 cmH 2O. The F12/14 sheath-F7.5 scope combination produced the lowest intrapelvic pressure of 1.47 cmH 2O at 50 cmH 2O irrigation pressure and the highest flow rate of 74.24 ml/min at 500 cmH 2O irrigation pressure. When combined with the F10/12 sheath, only the F7.5 flexible scope was able to maintain a safe intrapelvic pressure of only 25.90 cmH 2O throughout. Analysis of the variability of intrapelvic pressure using the combination of instruments as the grouping variable suggested a significant overall difference( P<0.05). Analysis of the variability between groups using the different flexible scope as the grouping variable showed that the F7.5 scope group had significantly lower intrapelvic pressure compared to the other four groups( P<0.05). Conclusions:The F7.5 super thin flexible scope has the best intrapelvic pressure control of the five flexible scopes due to the significantly reduced ratio of endoscope-sheath diameter for the instrument combination and the ability to fit a thinner guide sheath while maintaining safe pelvic pressure.

Purpose: Hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy is an important clinical problem in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. We examined the effect of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program on the incidence of hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy in this population. Methods: This single-institution, retrospective study analyzed 108 patients on hemodialysis who underwent parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Patients were classified into the pre-ERAS (n = 52) and post-ERAS (n = 56) groups. The ERAS program identified high-risk patients and enforced aggressive measures to normalize calcium levels following parathyroidectomy. Results: There was no significant difference in age, sex, body weight, presenting symptoms, preoperative calcium and alkaline phosphatase levels, postoperative intact parathyroid levels, postoperative calcium levels at 1 and 24 hours after parathyroidectomy, and 30-day readmission rates between the groups. The post-ERAS group had significantly higher levels of postoperative calcium at 48 and 72 hours after parathyroidectomy, but a lower incidence of hungry bone syndrome and shorter postoperative length of stay. Patients with hungry bone syndrome had higher preoperative levels of alkaline phosphatase and intact parathyroid, longer postoperative length of stay, and were less likely to have been part of the ERAS program. High preoperative alkaline phosphatase levels and absence of the ERAS program were independent risk factors for hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy. Conclusion The ERAS program reduced the incidence of hungry bone syndrome and shortened the postoperative length of stay in patients on maintenance hemodialysis who underwent parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of children with rheumatic disease combined with endocrine disorder.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data, including sex, age, clinical presentation, laboratory tests, treatment and outcome, of 13 patients with rheumatic diseases combined with endocrine disorder, who were admitted to our department in Children′s Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2014 to December 2020.Results:Among the 13 cases, 3 were males and 10 were females, without family history. Their age was (10±4) years. And the average course of disease was 4.1 months. Eight of them were diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE), 2 with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), 1 with childhood vasculitis, 1 with juvenile-onset systemic sclerosis (JSSc) and 1 had juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Regarding the initial presentation, 10 cases had symptoms of rheumatic disease, 2 had polydipsia and polyuria, and 1 had goiter. All the 13 patients had multiple system involvement. Regarding endocrine disorder, 10 had thyroiditis or subclinical thyroiditis, 4 had diabetes mellitus and one had both thyroid and pancreas involvement. Thyroid stimulating hormone in 10 patient with thyroid involvment was 19.6 (5.2-34.0) mU/L, and their total thyroxine was 75.3 (45.2-105.4) nmol/L. Besides, thyroid peroxidase antibody or thyroglobulin antibody was positive in 7 cases. The blood glucose of 4 children with pancreatic injury was 25.0 (17.0-33.0) mmol/L, and C-peptide was 0.4 (0.3-0.5) mg/L. Glutamate dehydrogenase antibody, protein tyrosine phosphatase antibody and zinc transporter 8 antibody were positive in two cases. After treatement with immunosuppressant or immunoglobulin combined with glucocorticoid or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs for rheumatic symptoms, and levothyroxine or insulin for endocrine diseases, they were all followed up for more than 6 months and maintained clinical stability.Conclusions:Rheumatic diseases in children can be complicated with endocrine disorders, and the involved organs are usually thyroid and pancreas. In children with rheumatic disease, thyroid injury usually has subtle onset, whereas pancreas injury develops rapidly, even life-threatening. Insulin should be used persistently under the instruction of endocrinologist.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application value of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination in preoperative evaluation of adjacent organ invasion for periampullary carcinomas (PACs).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 81 patients with PACs who were admitted to the Affiliated Wuxi No.2 People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2013 to June 2019 were collected. There were 52 males and 29 females, aged from 41 to 80 years, with an average age of 62 years. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and pathological outcomes; (2) evaluation of adjacent organ invasion on CT and MRI examination for PACs; (3) comparison of diagnostic accuracy between CT and MRI examination in assessing adjacent organ invasion for PACs; (4) auxiliary and feature images of adjacent organ invasion for PACs; (5) comparison between CT and MRI examination in assessing adjacent organ invasion for PACs. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), and count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. Comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.The receiver operating characteristic curve and area under curve were used to evaluate diagnostic accuracy between CT and MRI examination in assessing adjacent organ invasion for PACs. Consistency was compared using the κ test. Results:(1) Surgical and pathological outcomes: of the 81 patients, 76 underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, 5 underwent palliative gastrojejunostomy or biliary drainage combined with biopsy, including the pancreas, duodenum, or lymph nodes. Of the 81 patients, 35 had pancreatic head carcinoma including 26 with duodenal invasion and 9 without duodenal invasion; 23 had ampullary carcinoma including 17 with duodenal invasion, 4 with both duodenal invasion and pancreatic invasion, and 2 without duodenal invasion or pancreatic invasion; 17 had distal bile duct carcinoma (including papillary type in 4 patients and periductal infiltrative type in 13 patients), of which 8 had duodenal invasion, 1 had duodenal invasion and pancreatic invasion (pathological classification of the 9 patients was periductal infiltrative type), 8 had neither duodenal invasion nor pancreatic invasion; 6 had duodenal carcinoma including 4 with pancreatic invasion and 2 without pancreatic invasion. (2) Evaluation of adjacent organ invasion on CT and MRI examination for PACs: of the 35 patients with pancreatic head carcinoma, duodenal invasion was identified in 25 patients and no duodenal invasion in 10 patients on both CT and MRI examination. Of the 23 patients with ampullary carcinoma, duodenal invasion, pancreatic invasion, both duodenal invasion and pancreatic invasion, and neither duodenal invasion nor pancreatic invasion were identified in 17, 1, 4, and 1 patients on CT examination, respectively; the above indicators were identified in 15, 2, 4, and 2 patients on MRI examination. Of the 17 patients with distal bile duct carcinoma, pancreatic invasion, both duodenal invasion and pancreatic invasion, and neither duodenal invasion nor pancreatic invasion were identified in 8, 1, and 8 patients on CT examination, respectively; the above indicators were identified in 9, 1, and 7 patients on MRI examination. Of the 6 patients with duodenal carcinoma, pancreatic invasion and no pancreatic invasion were identified in 3 and 3 patients on both CT and MRI examination.(3) Comparison of diagnostic accuracy between CT and MRI examination in assessing adjacent organ invasion for PACs: two reviewers had good agreement in assessing adjacent organ invasion on CT examination for pancreatic head carcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, and distal bile duct carcinoma ( κ=0.868, 0.701, 0.881, P<0.05), but they had poor agreement for duodenal carcinoma ( κ=0.333, P>0.05). Meanwhile, two reviewers had good agreement in assessing adjacent organ invasion on MRI examination for pancreatic head carcinoma and ampullary carcinoma( κ=0.860, 0.747, P<0.05), and moderate agreement for distal bile duct carcinoma ( κ=0.643, P<0.05), but they had poor agreement for duodenal carcinoma ( κ=0.333, P>0.05). (4) Auxiliary and feature images of adjacent organ invasion for PACs: for the 25 patients who had pancreatic head carcinoma with duodenal invasion on CT and MRI examination, based on well filling in duodenum, 12 patients showed locally morphological change of lumen and flattened or disappeared duodenal mucosal folds on negative contrast CT cholangiopancreatography; 14 patients showed similar signs on T2 weighted imaging or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. The 17 patients who had distal bile duct carcinoma with pancreatic invasion on CT and MRI examination were periductal infiltrative type. Pancreatic invasion manifested as local thickenness of ductal wall with marked enhancement and narrowed ductal lumen, which was indistinguishable from the pancreas, and the pancreatic parenchyma showed hyperdense or hyperintense signs similar with the lesion, like a "transmural" sign. One patient with both duodenal invasion and pancreatic invasion showed locally thickened and enhanced duodenal wall on both CT and MRI examination. Four patients, who had papillary type distal bile duct carcinoma with neither duodenal invasion nor pancreatic invasion, showed intraductal growing mass which had a discernible boundary to the pancreas and slighter enhancement than infiltrative type on both CT and MRI examination. (5) Comparison between CT and MRI examination in assessing adjacent organ invasion for PACs: CT examination evaluating adjacent organ invasion for pancreatic head carcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, distal bile duct carcinoma, and duodenal carcinoma had a sensibility of 92.3%, 90.5%, 88.9%, 75.0%, a specificity of 88.9%, 50.0%, 87.5%, 100.0%, an accuracy of 0.906, 0.702, 0.882, 0.875, respectively. MRI examination evaluating adjacent organ invasion for pancreatic head carcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, distal bile duct carcinoma, and duodenal carcinoma had a sensibility of 88.5%, 85.7%, 88.9%, 75.0%, a specificity of 77.8%, 50.0%, 75.0%, 100.0%, an accuracy of 0.831, 0.679, 0.819, 0.875. There was no significant difference in sensibility for pancreatic head carcinoma, distal bile duct carcinoma, or duodenal carcinoma between CT and MRI examination( χ2=3.140, 0.141, 0.444, P>0.05), while there was a significant difference in sensibility for ampullary carcinoma ( χ2=13.263, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in specificity for pancreatic head carcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, or distal bile duct carcinoma between CT and MRI examination( χ2=0.321, 2.000, 3.429, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in accuracy for pancreatic head carcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, distal bile duct carcinoma, or duodenal carcinoma between CT and MRI examination( Z=0.967, 0.273, 0.559, 0.000, P>0.05). Conclusion:CT and MRI examination can be used for preoperative evaluation of adjacent organ invasion for periampullary carcinoma, with similar performance in specificity and accuracy, however, CT examination has a higher sensibility for ampullary carcinoma.
