The 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GI) was held in San Francisco, the USA from January 18th to 20th, 2024 (local time). The multiple studies presented in this symposium will have a significant impact on the clinical practice of esophageal cancer. This article will focus on the surgical methods of esophageal cancer, perioperative immunotherapy, drug therapy for advanced esophageal cancer, rescue treatment after immunotherapy resistance, and other relevant aspects. It aims to summarize and interpret the significant advancements in the field of esophageal cancer presented in this symposium.
Objective To evaluate the characteristics, classification, treatment methods, and cl inical outcomes of the spoke heel injuries in children. Methods From June 2001 to June 2008, 289 children with bicycle or motorcycle spoke heel injuries were treated, including 179 males and 110 females aged 2-12 years old (average 3.9 years old). There were 179 cases of skin contusion and laceration (type I), 83 cases of skin and soft tissue defect with Achilles tendon exposure (type II), and 27 cases of wide skin and soft tissue defect with the Achilles tendon defect and rupture (type III). The defect size of the skin or the soft tissues ranged from 3 cm × 2 cm to 11 cm × 7 cm in type II and type III injury. The time between injury and hospital admission was 1-53 days (average 14.5 days). Child patients with type I injury were managed with dressing or suturing after debridement. For the child patients with type II injury, the wound was repaired with the regional fascia flap in 53 cases, the reverse sural neurocutaneous vascular flap in 19 cases, the reverse saphenous neurocutaneous vascular flap in 9 cases, and the lateral supramalleolar flap in 2 cases. For the child patients with type III injury, 6 cases underwent primary repair of the Achilles tendon followed by the transposition of the reverse sural neurocutaneous vascular flap, 3 cases received primary repair of the wound with the reverse sural neurocutaneous vascular flap and secondary reconstruction of the Achilles tendon with the upturned fascia strip or the ipsilateral il iotibial tract transplant, and 18 cases underwent primary repair of the wound and the Achilles tendon with the sl iding bi-pedicled gastrocnemius musculocutaneous flap. The flap size ranged from 4 cm × 2 cm to 30 cm × 12 cm. All the donor sites were closed bypartial suture and spl it-thickness skins graft. The lower l imbs were immobil ized with plaster spl ints after operation. Results All the flaps survived except for 1 case of type II suffering from distal flap venous crisis 3 days after operation and 6 cases of type III suffering from distal flap necrosis 3-5 days after operation. All those flaps survived after symptomatic treatment. All the skin grafts at the donor site survived uneventfully. All the wounds healed by first intention. All child patients were followed up for 15-820 days (average 42 days). Child patients with type I and type II injury had a full recovery of ankle functions. While 25 cases of type III injury had ankle dorsal extension degree loss (10-30°) and unilateral plantar flexion strength decrease 3 months after operationwithout influence on walking, and 2 cases recovered well. Conclusion Spoke heel injury in children has special mec hanisms of injury, and the choice of proper treatment method should be based on the types of injury.
At present, coronavirus disease 2019 has become the most serious public health emergency in the world. The disease is still spreading around the world. The disease progresses rapidly and is highly contagious, causing great harm to the public health security of the world. Based on the research evidence published at home and abroad, this article systematically summarizes the biological structure of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and the pathogenesis, transmission routes and susceptible populations, clinical features and treatment methods of coronavirus disease 2019. It aims to help medical workers understand coronavirus disease 2019 in order to better diagnose and treat the disease, and provide references for future research.
In this series of 34 cases, 2 patients performed hepatic dect-jejunal anatomosis, 9 were PTCD external drainage, 8 were installation of internal drainage tubes through the PTCD, 9 were laparotories, 3 were cheemotherapeutic perfusison through artery and 3 were untreated. According to the follow-up results, the authors recommend that the internal drainage through PTCD is the better method to treat unresectable carcinoma of bile duct for proper patients.
Objective To review the research progress on the correlation between sarcopenia and osteoarthritis (OA). Methods The basic and clinical studies at home and abroad in recent years on sarcopenia and OA were extensively reviewed. The correlation between sarcopenia and OA was analyzed and summarized from five aspects: epidemiological status, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical treatments, and the impact on joint arthroplasty. Results Sarcopenia and OA are common diseases in the elderly with high prevalence and can increase the ill risk of each other. They share a set of risk factors, and show negative interactive and influence on pathogenesis and clinical treatments, thus participating in each other’s disease process and reducing the treatment benefits. Clinical studies show that sarcopenia can affect the rehabilitation effect and increase the risk of postoperative complications after total joint arthroplasty in many ways. ConclusionCurrent research results show that sarcopenia and OA are related and can be mutually affected in the above 5 aspects, but more studies are needed to further clarify the relationship between them, so as to provide more theoretical basis for the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatments of the two diseases.
ObjectiveTo summarize the current progress of clinical therapy for hemifacial microsomia (HFM). MethodsThe domestic and overseas articles concerning the treatment of HFM were reviewed and analyzed. ResultsThe unified therapeutic schedule of HFM has not yet been determined due to its variable clinical manifestation. Therapies mainly include: correction of bone deformity, which attain high effectiveness by adopting distraction osteogenesis or the improvement approach based on it; repair of the hypoplasia of facial soft tissue using graft of free tissue or autologous fat, augmentation of prosthesis materials. Autologous fat is becoming a hot research area and is widely used in recent years. For the aspect of treatment of microtia, different methods are adopted according to the severity of the malformation. ConclusionThe uniform clinical diagnosis and therapy of HFM are not determined for its complicated classification and unknown etiology. The research of etiology and tissue engineering may provide the therapy of HFM.
Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a developmental hypoplasia of one side of face and ear due to congenital hypoplasia. At present, the causes of HFM have not been completely clarified, the classification methods are diverse, and the diagnosis and treatment methods are complex. Through reviewing the relevant study on the treatment of HFM domestic and overseas in recent years, the possible etiology and corresponding clinical manifestations of the disease are analyzed, and the existing clinical classification methods, treatment strategies and latest research results are summarized.
摘要:目的: 总结2型糖尿病患者阴茎勃起功能障碍(ED)的相关危险因素及临床治疗评价。 方法 :分析收集两家医院120例住院及门诊2型糖尿病男性患者的性功能状况、年龄、糖尿病病程、血压、糖化血红蛋白、血脂、吸烟与否等指标,以及接受真空负压吸引联合万艾可治疗的79名患者追踪3个月的疗效评分。 结果 :男性2型糖尿患者中ED的患病率为658%,多因素回归分析显示患者年龄、糖尿病病程、糖化血红蛋白与ED的发生独立相关,而血压、血脂等因素〖WTBX〗P ＞005,无显著性差异。接受真空负压吸引联合万艾可治疗的79例ED患者其有效率达到759%。 结论 :男性2型糖尿病患者中ED是常见的合并症,患病率随年龄、糖尿病病程、糖化血红蛋白的增加而增加。真空负压吸引联合万艾可治疗糖尿病合并ED疗效可靠。Abstract: Objective: Make a conclusion on related ED risk factors and clinic therapy evaluation in 120 Type 2 male diabetic mellitus.

Results : The ED rate in Type 2 male diabetic is 658%;the multifactorial regression analysis shows that occurrence of ED is respectively related with age,diabetes course,HbA1c;there isn’t obvious discrdpancy in blood pressure,blood fat,etc(P ＞005); the effective rate of vacuum subpressure absorption associated with Viagra (sildenafil) therapy in 79 cases is759%. Conclusion : It’s common complications to get ED among the Type 2 male Diabetics and the case rate goes up with the increase of age,diabetes course, HbA1c;it’s reliable to take therapy of vacuum subpressure absorption associated with Viagra.
