OBJECTIVE: To investigate short-term effectiveness of robot-assisted fracture reduction and fixation combined with arthroscopic exploration for posterolateral depressed tibial plateau fractures. METHODS: Between January 2022 and January 2024, 8 patients with posterolateral depressed tibial plateau fractures (Schatzker type Ⅲ) were treated using robot-assisted fracture reduction and fixation combined with arthroscopic exploration, with simultaneous treatment of concomitant ligament or meniscus tears. There were 3 males and 5 females with an average age of 54.1 years (range, 42-68 years). Injury mechanisms included traffic accidents (3 cases) and falls (5 cases). The time from injury to operation ranged from 2 to 4 days (mean, 3.1 days). Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay duration, visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, and complications were recorded. Fracture healing and knee Rasmussen scores were assessed radiographically, while knee function was evaluated using range of motion and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores. RESULTS: All operations were successfully completed. The operation time was 108-129 minutes (mean, 120.1 minutes). The intraoperative blood loss was 10-100 mL (mean, 41.3 mL). The hospital stay duration was 4-7 days (mean, 5.6 days). All incisions healed by first intention without complication such as peroneal nerve injury, vascular damage, or infection. All patients were followed up 32-48 weeks (mean, 40 weeks). Radiographic follow-up confirmed that the knee Rasmussen scores rated as excellent in 8 patients and all fractures healed with the healing time of 12-16 weeks (mean, 13.5 weeks). The VAS score for pain was 2-4 (mean, 2.8) at discharge and improved to 0 at 1 month after operation. The knee range of motion was 80°-110° (mean, 96.1°) at discharge and increased to 135°-140° (mean, 137.9°) at 1 month after operation. At 3 months after operation, the HSS score was 91-94 (mean, 92.8), all graded as excellent. No severe complication, including implant failure, occurred during follow-up. CONCLUSION For posterolateral depressed tibial plateau fractures, the minimally invasive approach combining robot-assisted fracture reduction and fixation with arthroscopic exploration demonstrates multiple advantages, including shorter operation time, reduced intraoperative blood loss, excellent wound healing, fewer complications, and rapid recovery of knee function. This technique achieves satisfactory short-term effectiveness, while its long-term effectiveness requires further evaluation.

Objective: To develop an assessment tool for risky road behavior tendencies among middle school students in western China, as well as to determine the relevant indices and their weights, so as to provide the reference for road safety prevention and control for middle school students in western China. Methods: A Delphi study was employed to construct the assessment tool for risky road behavior tendencies among middle school students in western China. In August 2023, eighteen experts in related fields such as traffic safety, education, and healthcare were invited to achieve Delphi consensus. The final indices were initially selected based on the consulting results,followed by the determination of their individual and combined weights using the analytic hierarchy process. Results: The finalized assessment tool comprised 3 primary indicators, 13 secondary indicators, and 100 tertiary indicators. The positivity coefficient of experts was 100%, accompanied by the authority coefficient 0.90. The mean importance scores for the three primary indicators varied from 4.67 to 4.78, while those for the 13 secondary indicators ranged from 4.22 to 4.89. The Kendall coefficient W was statistically significant at 0.32 ( χ 2=96.83, P <0.05). The weights assigned to the three primary indicators were:ability (0.329 4), opportunity (0.337 3), and motivation (0.333 3). The secondary indicators with the top three highest combined weights were social influence (0.027 4), knowledge (0.027 3), and skills (0.026 7). Conclusions The assessment tool for risky road behavior tendencies among middle school students in western China demonstrates high expert consensus, with balanced weighting of primary and secondary indicators. Expanded use of the assessment tool would provide the data support for intervention work.

With the development of information technology, the massive growth of pharmaceutical electronic data and the significant increase in the reports of drug adverse event reports have brought great challenges to pharmacovigilance research. Data mining techniques can automatically extract the risk signals of adverse drug reaction from real-world data. Therefore, efficient data mining of massive adverse event reporting is a necessary measure to realize the automatic detection of adverse drug reactions. By introducing the current major large-scale adverse drug event reporting databases and related data mining methods, this study reviews the application and limitations of adverse drug reaction data mining technology in pharmacovigilance, which provides reference for pharmacovigilance-related institutions and researchers.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of congenital epulis,to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Two cases of congenital epulis in the mandible and maxilla of a newborn were reported,and the boundary and size of the tumor were determined by ultrasonography and MRI.The tu-mor was resected under general anesthesia.The previous literature on congenital epulis was reviewed and analyzed.Results Patient 1(male)had a hard mass of approximately 20 mm×15 mm×10 mm in the right mandible immedi-ately after birth.MRI was performed,and the mass was removed.In Patient 2(female),a mass approximately 24 mm×23 mm×20 mm in the oral cavity of the anterior maxillary region was shown on ultrasound at 29 gestational weeks,and the mass grew rapidly in the last trimester.The mass was removed after birth.Postoperative pathological examination re-vealed congenital epulis.The results of the literature review showed that the incidence of congenital epulis is greater in females than in males,and it mainly occurs in the maxillary incisor area.Congenital epulis does not invade bone and does not affect tooth development.When a mass affects a child's breathing or swallowing,it must be surgically removed in a timely manner.Recent studies have shown that there is no evidence of recurrence after surgical resection.The histo-logical origin and etiology of the disease are not clear.Clinically,it is often necessary to distinguish between teratomas and congenital epulis.Regarding the clinical manifestations,teratomas and congenital epulis are similar in appearance,and the main distinguishing point lies in pathological manifestations.Under the microscope,teratomas are observed as mature or immature tissue from various embryonic layers,while congenital epulis involves tightly arranged,homoge-neous,polygonal to microspindle-shaped,medium to large cell compositions of nest-like and ribbon-like cells.Conclu-sion Congenital epulis is a rare oral tumor in neonates.The diagnosis should be based on the location,age,clinical manifestations,and imaging findings.The final diagnosis depends on pathological examination.When congenital epulis tumors affect children's breathing and eating,they should be surgically removed as soon as possible,and there is al-most no recurrence after surgery.

Objective Evaluation of Chinese-thyroid imaging reporting and data system(C-TIRADS)combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)for the assessment of category 4 nodules in the setting of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.Methods Retrospective analysis of 120 C-TIRADS category 4 thyroid nodules from 79 patients with confirmed Hashimoto's thyroiditis who attended the Yiyang Central Hospital from June to December 2022.Thyroid nodules exhibiting one or more benign or malignant features that were suspicious on CEUS were treated as downgraded or upgraded one level.Using the final surgical pathology results as the gold standard,working characteristic(ROC)curves of subjects based on C-TIRADS grading before and after CEUS adjustment were plotted to compare diagnostic efficacy.Results The sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy of the CEUS-adjusted C-TIRADS were 93.0％,87.8％and 90.8％,respectively(P<0.05).The area under the ROC curve was 0.811 and 0.904,respectively(P<0.05).Conclusion C-TIRADS combined with CEUS has better diagnostic efficacy in evaluating category 4 nodules in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Objective To observe the value of dual-energy CT(DECT)radiomics combined with clinical and CT features for predicting differentiation degree of gastric adenocarcinoma(GAC).Methods Totally 254 patients with GAC were prospectively analyzed and divided into high-grade group(low differentiation GAC,n=88)and low-grade group(middle-high differentiation GAC,n=166)according to pathological results.The patients were also divided into training set(n=203,including 70 high-grade and 133 low-grade GAC)and verification set(n=51,including 18 high-grade and 33 low-grade GAC)at the ratio of 8∶2.Radiomics features were extracted and screened based on venous phase single-level(40,70,100 and 140 keV)DECT,and a multi-energy radiomics model was constructed to predict GAC classification.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze clinical and CT features as well as DECT parameters in training set to construct a clinic-CT model.Then a combined model was constructed through combining clinic-CT model with radiomics model.The predictive efficacy of the models were evaluated,and the calibration degree of the combined model was assessed.Results The area under the curve(AUC)of clinic-CT model,multi-energy radiomics model and combined model was 0.74,0.75 and 0.78 in training set,and 0.73,0.77 and 0.78 in verification set,respectively.Except for AUC of combined model was higher than that of clinic-CT model in training set(P＜0.05),no significant difference of AUC was found among models in training set nor verification set(all P＞0.05).The calibration degree of combined model was good in both training set and verification set(both P＞0.05).Conclusion DECT radiomics combined with clinical and CT features could effectively predict differentiation degree of GAC.

Objective To observe the value of spectral CT parameters for evaluating T staging of advanced gastric cancer(AGC).Methods Totally 155 AGC patients were collected and divided into T2 stage(n=40)and T3/4a stage(n=115)according to postoperative pathology.CT values,water concentration(WC)and iodine concentration(IC)of AGC lesions on 40-140 keV arteriovenous phase single energy level images were measured,and the standardized IC(nIC)and spectral curve slopes k1 and k2 were calculated.Clinical variables and spectral quantitative parameters were compared between groups,and receiver operating characteristic curve was plotted,the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the value of each parameter and model for identifying T2 and T3/4a stage AGC.Results Tumor thickness,proportion of low differentiation degree,CT100kev,CT140kev,and WC values in T3/4a group were all significantly higher than those in T2 group(all P＜0.05).CT140keV of AGC lesions on venous phase images presented the highest discrimination efficacy among single parameters,with AUC of 0.782.AUC of clinical-arterial phase-venous phase model was 0.848,higher than that of clinical model and arterial phase model alone(both P＜0.05)but not significantly different compared with AUC of venous phase model(P＞0.05).Conclusion Spectral CT quantitative parameters,especially venous phase parameters could be used to effectively identify T stage of AGC.Multi-parameter combined models had higher diagnostic value.
