Objective:To investigate the influence of computer tomography (CT) examination bony parameters and surgical methods on difficult pelvis and perioperative efficacy of mid-low rectal cancer.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 191 patients who underwent robotic or laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) for mid-low rectal cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2021 to December 2022 were collected. There were 123 males and 68 females, aged (60±11)years. According to the surgical difficulty score, 191 patients were divided into the difficult pelvis group of 41 patients and the non-difficult pelvic group of 150 patients. Thirteen pelvic parameters were obtained on CT images of the 191 patients. Observation indicators: (1) comparison of intraoperative and postoperative conditions of patients in the difficult pelvis group and the non-difficult pelvis group; (2) analysis of factors affecting difficult pelvis in patients with mid-low rectal cancer; (3) stratified analysis of different surgical methods for patients with difficult pelvis. Measurement data with normal distribu-tion were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the Logistic regression model. Results:(1) Com-parison of intraoperative and postoperative conditions of patients in the difficult pelvis group and the non-difficult pelvis group. There were significant differences in operation time, volume of intra-operative blood loss, sum of the product of the longest diameters (SPD) of tumor lesions, postopera-tive complications, duration of postoperative hospital stay, and hospitalization expenses between the two groups ( t=-4.853, -5.816, Z=2.838, χ2=81.498, t=-5.897, -2.770, P<0.05). (2) Analysis of factors affecting difficult pelvis in patients with mid-low rectal cancer. Results of multivariate analysis showed that gender, age, pelvic inlet, distance between the sacral promontory and the coccyx, depth of the pelvis, line AB, angle A, and angle B were independent factors affecting difficult pelvis in patients with mid-low rectal cancer ( odds ratio=0.080, 1.067, 3.065, 0.004, 10 165.062, 0.019, 0.476, 0.662, 95% confidence interval as 0.016-0.409, 1.008-1.130, 1.388-6.767, 0.001-0.024, 477.574-216 361.071, 0.003-0.131, 0.358-0.632, 0.551-0.794, P<0.05). (3) Stratified analysis of different surgical methods for patients with difficult pelvis. ① Comparison of general preoperative data of patients with difficult pelvis receiving different surgical methods. Of the 41 mid-low rectal cancer patients with difficult pelvis, 15 underwent robotic TME, and 26 underwent laparoscopic TME. There was a significant difference in the body mass index between patients receiving the two surgical methods ( t=-2.055, P<0.05). ② Comparison of intraoperative and postoperative conditions of patients with difficult pelvis receiving different surgical methods. There was no significant difference in operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, SPD of tumor lesions, number of lymph nodes dissected, number of lymph node metastases, distance between tumor and anal verge, combined organ resection, postoperative complications, duration of postoperative hospital stay, hospitalization costs, T staging, N staging, M staging, vascular tumor thrombus, and nerve invasion ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Gender, age, pelvic inlet, distance between the sacral promontory and the coccyx, pelvic depth, AB line, angle A, and angle B are independent factors affecting difficult pelvis in patients with mid-low rectal cancer. There is no difference in perioperative outcomes between mid-low rectal cancer patients of difficult pelvis who received robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery.

Periarticular fracture of the shoulder is a common type of fractures in the elderly. Postoperative adverse events such as internal fixation failure, humeral head ischemic necrosis and upper limb dysfunction occur frequently, which seriously endangers the exercise and health of the elderly. Compared with the fracture with normal bone mass, the osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder is complicated with slow healing and poor rehabilitation, so the clinical management becomes more difficult. At present, there is no targeted guideline or consensus for this type of fracture in China. In such context, experts from Youth Osteoporosis Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Orthopedic Expert Committee of Geriatrics Branch of Chinese Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics, Osteoporosis Group of Youth Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons and Osteoporosis Committee of Shanghai Association of Chinese Integrative Medicine developed the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder in the elderly ( version 2023). Nine recommendations were put forward from the aspects of diagnosis, treatment strategies and rehabilitation of osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder, hoping to promote the standardized, systematic and personalized diagnosis and treatment concept and improve functional outcomes and quality of life in elderly patients with osteoporotic periarticular fracture of the shoulder.

The incidence of locally recurrent rectal cancer is about 10%. Most patients have serious symptoms after tumor recurrence, which seriously affects the quality of life and prognosis of patients. Although it is more difficult to perform reoperation, it is still the main method to treat local recurrence of rectal cancer. At present, the main methods of reoperation include transabdominal anterior resection, combined pelvic organ resection, combined pelvic organ resection, and sacral resection. Open surgery is the main method. In recent years, with the extensive development of laparoscopic technology, laparoscopic techniques have been tried at home and abroad to perform reoperations for locally recurrent rectal cancer, showing good short-term results. The authors systematically introduce the application of laparoscopic technology in the reoperation of locally recurrent rectal cancer based on relevant research advances at home and abroad, in order to explore its clinical application prospects and promotion value.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features of gonadal neoplastic related lesions in children with disorders of sexual development (DsD).Methods:The clinical manifestations, chromosomal karyotype, histology and immunophenotype of 12 cases of neoplastic related lesions from Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center, Guangzhou were analyzed during Jan 2015 to May 2020.Results:Twelve cases of neoplastic related lesions were screened in 205 cases of DsD, and 6 patients with gonadal germ cell neoplasia aged 3-13 years with an average age of 8.3 years. There were 2 males and 4 females. Clinical features showed malformation of external genitalia in 2 cases, short stature in 2 cases, clitoral enlargement in 1 case, lower abdominal pain and a huge pelvic mass in 1 case. Chromosomal karyotyping of peripheral blood showed 2 cases of 46XY and 4 cases of 45X/46XY. Fourteen gonadal specimens were examined. Microscopically, 1 case showed dysgerminoma in left ovary, and malignant mixed germ cell tumors in right ovary, as well as gonadoblastoma (GB) and undifferentiated gonadal tissue (UGT). The remaining 5 cases were all precursor lesions of germ cell tumor. Six specimens showed GB, 3 of UGT, and 3 specimens showed germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS), one of which was accompanied by intratubular seminoma and 1 was GB with GCNIS. The other 6 patients with DsD were aged from 8 months to 2 years and 5 months, including 5 males and 1 females. Clinical manifestations showed 5 cases of hypospadias and 1 case of bilateral indirect inguinal hernia. Microscopically, 6 cases showed maturation delay of gonocytes in seminiferous tubules. Immunohistochemically, the primordial germ cells/gonocytes expressed OCT3/4, PLAP and c-KIT in the 12 cases.Conclusion:Gonadal neoplasia in children with DsD is mainly precursor lesions of germ cell tumor and improved understanding of these lesions is of great significance.

Objective To analyze the curative effect and prognosis of pancreatic ductal stone treated by pancreatectomy,pancreatic duct drainage or combined procedures.Methods The clinical data of 296 pancreatic ductal stone patients who received surgical treatment in First Affiliated Hospital of the Army Medical University between January 2008 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The cases were divided into pancreatectomy group (162 cases),pancreatic duct drainage group (104 cases) and combined procedures group (30 cases) according to their surgical procedures.The clinical characteristics and short-term and longterm outcomes of surgical treatment between the three groups were analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival rate of no recurrence of pain after operation.Log-rank test and Cox-proportional hazard model were used to analyze the influencing factors on the recurrent pain free survival after surgery.Results The ratio of male patients was highest in pancreatectomy group,and the incidence of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency was highest in pancreatic duct drainage group.Of 296 patients,Ⅰ type pancreatic stone was most in pancreatectomy group and combined procedures group (80.2％,70.0％),and Ⅲ type pancreatic stone was most in pancreatic duct drainage group (46.2％).Medium size pancreatic stone was most in pancreatectomy group (52.5％),and medium and large size pancreatic stone was most in pancreatic duct drainage group (80.8％).Obvious pancreatic atrophy was most in pancreatic duct drainage group.Pancreatic head swelling,bile ductal dilation or compression,combined with pancreatic or surrounding organ complications were most in pancreatectomy,and all the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).In the short-term effect,the overall rate of pain relief was 99.3％,and there was no statistical difference among three groups.Pancreatic duct drainage group was superior to the other two groups in terms of operative time,bleeding volume,postoperative hospitalization days and postoperative complications (all P ＜0.05),but the total incidence of residual stones after operation in drainage group (64.8％) was higher than that in the other two groups,and the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).In the long-term effect,there were no significant differences in pain recurrence,stone recurrence reoperation,postoperative pancreatic function,body weight and quality of life recovery among the three groups.The 1-year,3-year and 5-year no recurrent pain after operation was 89.0％,79.2％ and 68.9％,respectively.Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the course of CP ≥5 years(HR =2.113,95％ CI 1.160-3.848,P=0.014) and postoperative long-term alcohol consumption (HR =1.971,95％ CI 1.073-3.620,P =0.029) were independent risk factors affecting pain recurrence after surgery.Conclusions Surgery is still an important means for the treatment of pancreatic ductal stone.The short-term and long-term effect of pancreatectomy,pancreatic duct drainage and combined procedures for pancreatic ductal stones are definitely effective.However,none of the three methods can prevent the continued loss of pancreatic function in some patients.According to the preoperative clinical features,surgery strategy should be formulated individually,and the postoperative health guidance and follow-up should be emphasized,which can help to improve the prognosis of the patients with pancreatic ductal stones.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of pancreatic ductal stones (PDS) combined with malignant tumor beside stones.Methods The retrospective case control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 190 patients with PDS who underwent surgical treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University (Third Military Medical University) between January 2008 and June 2017 were collected.Of 190 patients,175 and 15 were detected PDS complicated with chronic pancreatitis and malignant tumor beside stones respectively.Observation indicators:(1) risk factors analysis of PDS combined with malignant tumor beside stones;(2) follow-up and survival situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was done to detect treatment of patients who had PDS combined with malignant tumor beside stones and postoperative survival up to December 2017.Univariate analysis was done by chi-square test,Fisher exact probability or rank sum test,and multivariate analysis was done using Logistic regression model.The survival curve was drawn and survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method.Results (1) Risk factors analysis of PDS combined with malignant tumor beside stones:results of univariate analysis showed that increased serum tumor markers,diameter of PDS,common bile duct dilation or compression,pancreatic parenchymatous atrophy were related factors affecting PDS combined with malignant tumor beside stones (x2 =12.501,Z =-2.508,x2 =12.230,5.863,P＜0.05).Results of multivariate analysis showed that increased serum tumor markers,common bile duct dilation or compression,pancreatic parenchymatous atrophy were independent risk factors affecting PDS combined with malignant tumor beside stones (odds ratio:5.482,8.062,4.993,95％ confidence interval:1.556-19.313,1.620-40.107,1.188-20.977,P＜0.05).(2) Follow-up and survival situations:162 of 190 patients were followed up for 2-111 months with a median time of 20 months,including 149 of PDS complicated with chronic pancreatitis and 13 of PDS combined with malignant tumor beside stones.During the follow-up,the 1-,3-,5-year overall survival rates after operation were 46.7％,6.7％ and 0 in 13 patients of PDS combined with malignant tumor beside stones,and 3 patients received postoperative chemotherapy.The 1-,3-,5-year overall survival rates of the 149 patients who had PDS combined with chronic pancreatitis were 97.0％,93.5％,91.6％.Conclusion Increased serum tumor markers,common bile duct dilation or compression,pancreatic parenchymatous atrophy are independent risk factors affecting PDS combined with malignant tumor beside stones.

Objective Investigate the effect of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)on the neonatal metabolism and prognosis.Methods A total of 265 singleton pregnancy GDM patients were collected as the observation group,while 260 cases of healthy singleton pregnant women were chosen as the control group.Detected the levels of adiponectin,insulin,C-peptide,glycated hemoglobin and blood glucose,compared the prognosis of two groups.Results Compared with the control group,adiponcetin and blood glucose in 2 hours after birth in observation group were lower,insulin,C-peptide and glycated hemoglobin were higher,the number of cesarean section was more,the difference was statically significant (P＜0.05).The incidence of low birth weight infant,macrosomia,neonatal asphyxia,neonatal hypoglycemia,neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,neonatal pneumonia,fetal death and newborn teratogenesis in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,the difference was statically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion GDM could cause metabolic disorder and affect fetal growth and development,leading to poor prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the pathologic features of gonadal tissues of disorders of sexual development (DSD) in children. Methods: Fifty-three cases of gonadal developmental disorders were collected from July 2015 to August 2017 at Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center. Clinical manifestations, karyotypes, sex hormone levels, ultrasound imaging, histology and immunophenotype of gonadal tissues were analyzed. Results: The age of patients ranged from 7 months to 17 years with an average of (50.7 ± 47.1) months. Social genders of the patients included 32 males and 21 females. Forty-eight patients had abnormal sex hormone levels. Clinical presentations included: toward female genitalia in 25 cases, male genitalia tendency in 17 cases and ambiguous external genitalia in 11 cases. Hypospadias was seen in 31 cases and short stature was seen in 8 cases. Chromosomal karyotyping of peripheral blood revealed 23 cases of sex chromosome disorders, 22 cases of 46 XY disorders, of which 3 cases were 5α-reductase deficiency and 8 cases of 46 XX disorders. Ultrasound examination showed cryptorchidism in 30 cases, including 16 cases of unilateral, 14 cases of bilateral and 1 case presenting a huge pelvic tumor. A total of 97 gonadal tissues from 53 cases of DSD were examined, including 9 cases of unilateral and 44 cases of bilateral gonads. Microscopically, 55 gonads (56.7%) showed dysplastic testes including 17 unilateral and 19 bilateral gonads. Fourteen were streak gonads (14.4%) including 8 unilateral and 3 bilateral gonadal tissues. Nine streak gonad with epithelial cord-like structures (9.3%) were found, of which 5 were unilateral and 2 were bilateral lesions. Seven gonads were ovotestis (7.2%), unilateral in 5 cases (the other side of the gonads of ovary in 4 cases, 1 case of dysplastic testes) and bilateral in 1 case. Seven gonads showed follicular-rich ovarian tissue (7.2%). One case showed bilateral dysplastic testes with gonadoblastoma and ectopic adrenal cortex. One case of streak gonad showed epithelial cord-like structures and undifferentiated glandular tissue embedded in malignant mixed germ cell tumors (mixed gonadoblastoma, dysgerminoma, mature teratoma and yolk sac tumor). One case had testicular microlithiasis. Uterus and fallopian tube structures were found in 11 cases. Immunohistochemical stains were performed in 15 cases. D2-40, PLAP and CKIT were expressed in germ cells and Calretinin, WT1 and inhibin were positive in Setoli cells. SALL4 and OCT3/4 were positive in 3 cases. Inhibin highlighted interstitial Leydig cells in 2 cases. GPC3 was positive in yolk sac tumor component. Conclusions Gonadal dysgenesis presents a broad spectrum of gonadal phenotypes with variable degrees of differentiation. The development of bilateral gonadal tissues has certain variability. Chromosomal karyotypes have no correlation with gonadal phenotypes. Accurate histopathologic diagnosis of gonadal dysgenesis plays an important role in the treatment and prognosis of the patient.
