Abstract
A total of 37 cases of thyroid tumors with pathological features suggestive of DICER1 gene mutation were selected to detect the DICER1 gene and BRAF gene using Sanger sequencing. A total of 10 patients (27.0%) exhibited DICER1 gene mutation all of whom were female with an age of [M(Q1, Q3)] 38.0 (30.5, 47.5) years. All patients had wild-type BRAFV600E gene. The ultrasound examination showed high-low echogenic well-demarcated intra-thyroidal nodules with abundant peripheral and internal blood flow signals in the DICER1 mutated thyroid tumor. The tumor was confined within the thyroid gland, with a diameter of (3.68±1.31) cm. The pathological features are as follows: the majority of tumors are encapsulated, which mainly composed of large follicles rich in colloid and some are small and micro follicles. The nucleus is round and deeply stained or slightly light stained, small to medium-sized, with occasional nuclear grooves and a lack of nuclear pseudoinclusion bodies within the nucleus. Immunohistochemical staining shows that Ki67 proliferation index of approximately 2%-10%. All cases were followed up for 11 to 18 months, and there was no recurrences or distant metastase. This study confirmed that the DICER1 gene mutation is mutually exclusive with the BRAFV600E gene mutation. The thyroid tumor with DICER1 mutation are in big size and are more common in young females with a good prognosis. Cases with the wild-type DICER1 gene may exhibit similar morphological features, and molecular testing is recommended. If somatic DICER1 mutation is confirmed, patients should undergo germline mutation testing to rule out DICER1 syndrome in order to define whether genetic counseling is necessary.

Abstract
The 5th edition WHO classification of thyroid tumors proposed high-grade non-anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, which includes traditional poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) and differentiated high-grade thyroid carcinoma (DHGTC), with a prognosis between highly differentiated thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), in which about 50% of patients do not take radioactive iodine. Therefore, this classification is of great clinical significance. This article interprets the diagnostic criteria and genetic features of high-grade non-anaplastic thyroid carcinoma in 5th edition WHO classification, comparing with ATC.

Abstract
Objective: To review the studies related to keratoconus in China, investigate research hotspots and development trends in this field, and provide reference for future research. Methods: This is a bibliometrics study. The relevant literature written in Chinese was retrieved from the WanFang DATA and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, English articles were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Searched for journal articles related to keratoconus VOSviewer software, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix in the R language were employed to create the knowledge map. The analysis encompassed the distribution of published journals, research collaboration networks of countries/regions, institutions, and authors. Additionally, core authors, high-frequency keyword co-occurrence, keyword topic maps, and keyword emergence time ranking were examined. Results: The study ultimately included 1 100 Chinese articles and 668 English articles. Chinese literature and English literature began to increase in 1997 and 2009, respectively, indicating that the field is currently in a developmental stage. The publications involved 244 Chinese journals and 150 English journals, predominantly in the field of ophthalmology. The United States collaborated the most with China, contributing to 123 articles, followed by other countries such as the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Chinese literature and English literature involved 552 and 883 institutions, respectively. The institution with the highest number of Chinese literature publications was the Eye Institute of Shandong First Medical University (63 papers), while Wenzhou Medical University had the highest number of English literature publications (91 papers). Chinese literature involved 2 435 authors, and English literature involved 2 073 authors. The largest collaboration cluster in Chinese literature was formed by the teams of Xie Lixin and Shi Weiyun, while the Gao Hua team formed the largest cluster in English literature. However, collaboration between authors was primarily limited to within each team. A total of 622 and 1 611 keywords were extracted from Chinese and English literature, respectively. The node centrality of the four Chinese keywords, "keratoconus", "cornea", "corneal transplantation" and "myopia" as well as the three English keywords, "keratoconus", "collagen cross-linking" and "penetrating keratoplasty" was greater than 0.1. "Collagen", "riboflavin", "corneal transplantation" and "ultraviolet A" were identified as common core hotspots and important research topics in Chinese and English literature on keratoconus. Keyword emergence analysis indicated that the keywords with the highest intensity of emergence in Chinese and English literature were "myopia" (13.54) and "penetrating keratoplasty" (9.99), respectively. The longest emergence time was observed for "contact lenses" (1995-2006) and "penetrating keratoplasty" (2003-2014). Conclusions: At present, research on keratoconus in China is on the rise, with research hotspots including pathogenesis, various new surgical methods, and improvement in quality of life. The future research trend mainly focuses on early diagnosis and screening methods, artificial intelligence, biomechanical examination, subclinical keratoconus, and small incision lenticule extraction.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the treatment outcomes and prognoses of children with head and neck non-parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma (HNnPM RMS). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of children with HNnPM RMS admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital from September 2012 to September 2022. The clinical features, comprehensive treatment modes and prognoses of the patients were analyzed. The overall survival rate (OS) and event free survival rate (EFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and univariate analysis was performed using the Log-rank test. Results: A total of 70 children were included in this study, 38 males and 32 females, with a median age of 47 months (2-210 months). Pathological subtypes including the embryonal in 27 cases, the alveolar in 36 cases and the spindle cell and sclerosing in 7 cases. Thirty children (83.3%) with alveolar type were positive for FOXO1 gene fusion. All 70 children underwent chemotherapy, including 38 with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 32 with adjuvant chemotherapy. Sixty of 70 children underwent surgery, of whom, 10 underwent two or more surgeries. There were 63 children underwent radiotherapy, including 54 with intensity-modulated radiation therapy, 4 with particle implantation and 5 with proton therapy. The median follow-up was 45 (5-113) months, the 5-year OS was 73.2%, and the 5-year EFS was 57.7%. Univariate analysis showed lymph node metastasis (χ2=5.022, P=0.025), distant metastasis (χ2=8.258, P=0.004), and high Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study (IRS) group (χ2=9.859, P=0.029) as risk factors for poor prognosis. Before June 2016, the 5-year OS based on BCH-RMS-2006 scheme was 63.6%, and after 2016, the 5-year OS based on CCCG-RMS-2016 scheme was 79.6%. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary combined standardized treatment can offer good treatment outcome and prognosis for children with HNnPM RMS. Local control is a key to the efficacy of comprehensive treatment.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Due to the heterogeneity in patient outcomes and treatment responses to standard therapy regimens, personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies have remained a focus of sustained interest in research. In recent years, with the rapid progression of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the medical field, an abundance of phased research results has emerged in the decision-making for preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative diagnostic and therapeutic plans for colorectal cancer, demonstrating great potential for application. This new and efficient solution provides for the personalized evaluations and auxiliary diagnoses and treatments of patients with colorectal cancer. In the future, AI systems may continue to advance towards multimodal, multi-omics, and real-time directions. This paper aims to explore the current state of research on the multi-faceted auxiliary applications of AI in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer, as well as to present a prospective view of the innovations that AI technology could bring to personalized colorectal cancer treatment in the future and the challenges it may face.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the mediating effect of unhealthy lifestyle and depressive symptom on the associations between life course factors and aging health. Methods: The study included 6 217 participants (aged ≥45 years) from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). We used principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) to divide participants into six subgroups based on 70 life course factors. Five key life course factors were identified based on correlation analysis and their contribution to aging health. Physiological dysregulation (PD) was calculated by using eight biomarkers in the 2015 CHARLS biomarker dataset. Linear regression, logistic regression, and mediation models were used to explore the complex associations of life course subgroups, key factors, unhealthy lifestyle, depression symptom with PD. Results: Life course subgroups were significantly associated with PD after adjusting chronological age and gender (β: 0.08-0.17, all P<0.05). Life-course subgroups and key factors, including adverse experiences in adulthood and lower education level, were significantly associated with unhealthy lifestyle (β: 0.04-0.52, all P<0.05). Life-course subgroups and key factors, including childhood trauma, parental health in childhood, adverse experiences in adulthood, and lower education level, were significantly associated with depression symptom (OR: 1.16-4.76, all P<0.05). Mediation analysis showed that unhealthy lifestyle had partial mediating effect on the association of life course subgroups and key factors, including adverse experiences in adulthood, and lower education levels, with PD (3.1%-3.6%). Depression symptom had partial mediating effect on the association of life course subgroups and key factors, including childhood trauma, adverse experience in adulthood, and lower education level, with PD (6.0%-16.2%). Conclusions: Unhealthy lifestyle and depression symptom has partial mediating effect on the impact of life course factors on aging health. It is important to pay attention to these two modifiable factors while targeting childhood trauma and adverse experience in adulthood.

Abstract
Non-neoplastic lesions were added in the 5th edition WHO classification of adrenal cortical tumor based on the recent update, including adrenal rests, adrenal cysts, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and adrenocortical nodular disease. A range of tumor concepts were updated or refined based on tumor cell origin, histopathology, oncology and molecular biology. The most significant nomenclature change in the field of adrenal cortical pathology involves the refined classification of adrenal cortical nodular disease, which now includes sporadic nodular adrenocortical disease, bilateral micronodular adrenal cortical disease, and bilateral macronodular adrenal cortical disease. The 5th edition WHO classification endorses the nomenclature of the HISTALDO classification to help the classification of aldosterone producing adrenal cortical lesions, which uses CYP11B2 immunohistochemistry to identify functional sites of aldosterone production. The 5th edition WHO classification does not change the Weiss and Lin-Weiss-Bisceglia histopathologic criteria for diagnosing adrenal cortical carcinomas, and underscores the diagnostic and prognostic impact of angioinvasion in these tumors. Reticulin algorithm and Helsinki scoring system were added to assist the differential diagnosis of adrenal cortical neoplasms in adults. Pediatric adrenal cortical neoplasms are assessed using the Wieneke system. The 5th edition WHO classification places an emphasis on an accurate assessment of tumor proliferation rate using both the mitotic count (mitoses per 10 mm2) and Ki-67 labeling index which play an essential role in the dynamic risk stratification of affected patients. This review highlights advances in knowledge of histological features, ancillary studies, and associated genetic findings that increase the understanding of the adrenal cortex pathologies in the 5th edition WHO classification.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the prevalence and risk factors of constipation in Hangzhou urban areas by analyzing data from a recent epidemiological survey. Methods: From August 2022 to June 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted on 43 communities on eight streets in suburbs of Hangzhou, including Wangjiang, Sijiqing, Puyan, Changhe, Ziyang, Xiaoshanchengxiang, Zhuantang, and Banshan. Written questionnaires were filled out face to face by community doctors. The prevalence of constipation was investigated using a combination of the Bristol stool typing method and the Rome IV criteria. The risk factors for constipation were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The study cohort comprised 10,479 participants, 5551 of whom were male (53.0%) and 4928 female (47.0%). The overall prevalence of constipation was 10.6% (1107/10,479). The prevalence was 11.0% (613/5551) for male and 10.0% (494/4928) for female participants; this difference is not statistically significant (P>0.05).There were no significant differences in the prevalence of constipation between different categories of body mass index (P>0.05). The prevalence of constipation was highest in individuals aged 70 years and above, accounting for 15.4% (264/1717) of all cases. There were significant differences in the prevalence of constipation between different occupations, marital statuses, and educational levels (P<0.001). Patients with hypertension or diabetes mellitus had a higher prevalence of constipation than those without these conditions, those who had been taking long-term medication had a higher prevalence of constipation than those who did not, parents of children with constipation had a higher prevalence of constipation than those with children who did not have constipation, and there were other significant differences in various variables (P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis of modifiable factors revealed that eating less fruit (OR=1.284, 95%CI: 1.061-1.553, P=0.010), liking spicy and salty food (OR=1.234, 95%CI: 1.039-1.466, P=0.016), sleeping for too long (OR=1.644, 95%CI: 1.260-2.144, P<0.001), irregular sleep patterns (OR=1.370, 95%CI: 1.127-1.665, P=0.002) and minimal exercise (OR=1.388, 95% CI: 1.168-1.649, P<0.001) were all risk factors for constipation; whereas mix diets (OR=0.709,95%CI:0.608-0.826, P<0.001), meat diets (OR=0.604,95%CI: 0.495-0.736, P<0.001), moderate alcohol consumption (OR=0.659, 95% CI: 0.534-0.812, P<0.001), less or no drinking (OR=0.523, 95% CI: 0.428-0.638, P<0.001), and non-smoking (OR=0.819, 95%CI:0.674-0.995, P<0.001) protected against constipation. We found no association between dietary preferences and the risk of constipation (refined grains: OR=1.147, 95%CI:0.944-1.393, P=0.167; no specific preference: OR=0.935, 95%CI:0.783-1.117, P=0.459). The rate of agreement between self-evaluation of constipation by the respondents and objective criteria was higher for negatives (95.8%) than for positives (38.0%). Conclusion: The prevalence of constipation is relatively high in the urban population of Hangzhou. A good lifestyle and diet can significantly reduce its incidence. There should be more emphasis on preventive education, promotion of prevention of constipation, and advocacy for a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract
Based on the changes of the classification and nomenclature in the fifth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of thyroid neoplasms, the third edition Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology (TBSRTC) was revised in June 2023. Two new chapters have been added: one addressing the clinical perspectives and imaging findings in thyroid disease and another summarizing the molecular test for thyroid cytology. A discussion of risk of malignancy (ROM) and clinical management algorithms for pediatric thyroid carcinoma have been added. The third edition provides an average ROM for each category, in addition to the expected range of cancer risk. This paper aims to interpret the main changes in the third edition TBSRTC and to provide guidelines for the clinical management of thyroid nodules.

Abstract
External root resorption is physiological or pathological destruction of the hard tissues on the root's external surface caused by various factors. Dental trauma is one of the main causes of pathological external root resorption. The manifestation and prognosis of external root resorption are closely related to the type of dental trauma, the degree of root damage, the stage of root development, and the presence of microbial infection et al. Effective management can prevent the occurrence of external root resorption or stop the progress of root resorption to avoid the early loss of traumatic teeth. This review focuses on the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and management strategies for permanent teeth with external root resorption after dental trauma, in order to provide a reference for the prevention and intervention of external root resorption after trauma in permanent teeth.

Abstract
To explore the situation of 8 common respiratory pathogens in children with acute respiratory infection (ARI) from 2021 to 2022.The retrospective study selected 8 710 ARI patients from September 2021 to August 2022 in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Gansu Province as the study object, patients aged 0 to 17 years old, including 5 048 male children and 3 662 female children. Indirect immunofluorescence was used to detect 8 common respiratory pathogens, including influenza virus A (FluA), influenza virus B (FluB), parainfluenza virus (PIV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus (ADV), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP), Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP), and Coxsackie virus group B (CoxB) IgM antibodies. χ2 test was used to analyze the results. The results showed that 1 497 of 8 710 children with ARI were positive, with a positive rate of 17.19%. The detection rate of MP among 8 common respiratory pathogens was 11.34%, accounting for 66.0%, followed by FluB, CoxB, PIV, RSV, ADV, FluA and CP, accounting for 13.83%, 9.55%, 6.01%, 2.61%, 1.47%, 0.40% and 0.13%, respectively. Respiratory tract viruses (FluA, FluB, RSV, ADV, PIV, CoxB) accounted for 33.86%.There were significant differences in the detection rates of PIV, ADV and MP among children of different genders (χ2=6.814, 5.154 and 17.784, P<0.05). The detection rate of school-age children (6-17 years old) was the highest, accounting for 33.27% (184/553). The detection rates of 8 common respiratory pathogens in patients with ARI were higher in spring and winter and lower in summer and autumn. To sum up, from 2021 to 2022, MP and FluB infection were dominant in ARI patients in our hospital. The peak period of 8 common respiratory pathogens was in spring and winter. The physical examination rate of 8 common respiratory pathogens in ARI patients aged 6-17 years old was the highest.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical application effects of combination of different types of free perforator flaps in the repair of complex wounds in extremities. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2018 to June 2022, 11 patients with complex wounds in extremities who met the inclusion criteria was admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, including 8 males and 3 females, aged 28 to 55 years. The wounds in the upper extremities in 4 cases and in the lower extremities in 7 cases were repaired with different combination of free perforator flaps. After debridement, the wound area was 7.0 cm×6.0 cm-28.0 cm×12.0 cm. A combination of different types of perforator flaps were applied, including the perforator tri-leaf flap of the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery in 6 cases, the descending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery combined with oblique branch perforating branch flap in 2 cases, the lobulated flap of the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery combined with the contralateral medial plantar artery perforator flap in 2 cases, and the bilateral perforator flap of the descending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery combined with great toe nail flap in 1 case, with the size of a single flap ranged from 2.0 cm×2.0 cm-25.0 cm×6.0 cm. The donor site was repaired by direct suture, skin grafting, or flap transplantation. During free flap transplantation, the flap was cut and split according to the distribution of perforators, and end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis was performed between the donor area and the recipient area. After surgery, the survival of transplanted flap in the primary recipient site, the occurrence of vascular crisis, the wound healing in the flap donor site, and the survival of transplanted skin or flap in the flap donor site were observed. During follow-up, the blood supply, appearance and texture of the transplanted flap in the primary recipient site were observed; and at the same time, the weight bearing of the plantar receiving area, the presence of sliding, ulcers, and sinus tracts of the flap, and the appearance and function of the hand were observed; the complications in the donor area were observed. Results: After surgery, one patient's transplanted flap in the primary recipient site had vascular crisis but survived after exploration+vein graft bridging; partial necrosis occurred in one lobe of anterolateral thigh lobulated flap transplanted to the primary recipient site in one patient and recovered after dressing change+skin grafting, and the different types of perforator flap transplanted to the primary recipient site in the other 9 patients all survived. After surgery, the wound with direct suture at the donor site healed well, and the skin or flap transplanted to the donor area survived well. During 3-24 months of follow-up, the blood supply, appearance, and texture of the transplanted flap at the primary recipient site were good. In two patients, the anterolateral thigh flap combined with the medial plantar flap were used to repair plantar defects. The plantar receiving area was able to bear weight, and the texture of the flaps in the recipient area was close to the normal plantar skin, without flap sliding, ulcer, or sinus tract formation. In one patient, bilateral anterolateral thigh flap combined with great toe nail flap were used to repair hand combined with soft forearm defect, and the appearance and function of hand, especially thumb were good. Only linear scar was left in the donor site without other obvious complications. Conclusions: The combination of different types of perforator flaps is a reliable clinical method to repair complex wounds in extremities with high safety, good efficacy, and less complications.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio with the severity of coronary artery disease and 2-yeat outcome in patients with premature coronary heart disease. Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study is originated from the PROMISE study. Eighteen thousand seven hundred and one patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) were screened from January 2015 to May 2019. Three thousand eight hundred and sixty-one patients with premature CHD were enrolled in the current study. According to the median LDL-C/HDL-C ratio (2.4), the patients were divided into two groups: low LDL-C/HDL-C group (LDL-C/HDL-C≤2.4, n=1 867) and high LDL-C/HDL-C group (LDL-C/HDL-C>2.4, n=1 994). Baseline data and 2-year major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were collected and analyzed in order to find the differences between premature CHD patients at different LDL-C/HDL-C levels, and explore the correlation between LDL-C/HDL-C ratio with the severity of coronary artery disease and MACCE. Results: The average age of the low LDL-C/HDL-C ratio group was (48.5±6.5) years, 1 154 patients were males (61.8%); the average age of high LDL-C/HDL-C ratio group was (46.5±6.8) years, 1 523 were males (76.4%). The number of target lesions, the number of coronary artery lesions, the preoperative SNYTAX score and the proportion of three-vessel coronary artery disease in the high LDL-C/HDL-C group were significantly higher than those in the low LDL-C/HDL-C group (1.04±0.74 vs. 0.97±0.80, P=0.002; 2.04±0.84 vs. 1.85±0.84, P<0.001; 13.81±8.87 vs. 11.70±8.05, P<0.001; 36.2% vs. 27.4%, respectively, P<0.001). Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and preoperative SYNTAX score, the number of coronary artery lesions, the number of target lesions and whether it was a three-vessel coronary artery disease (all P<0.05). The 2-year follow-up results showed that the incidence of MACCE was significantly higher in the high LDL-C/HDL-C group than that in the low LDL-C/HDL-C group (6.9% vs. 9.1%, P=0.011). There was no significant difference in the incidence of all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularization and bleeding between the two groups. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio has no correlation with 2-year MACCE, death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, stroke and bleeding events above BARC2 in patients with premature CHD. Conclusion: High LDL-C/HDL-C ratio is positively correlated with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with premature CHD. The incidence of MACCE of patients with high LDL-C/HDL-C ratio is significantly higher during 2 years follow-up; LDL-C/HDL-C ratio may be an indicator for evaluating the severity of coronary artery disease and long-term prognosis in patients with premature CHD.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical, radiological, histological and molecular features and the differential diagnosis of fibrocartilaginous mesenchymoma (FM). Methods: Four cases of FM diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, the Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from 2020 to 2022 were analyzed. Related literature was also reviewed. Results: Case 1 was a 10-year-old girl with bone destruction in the sacrum and L5 articular processes revealed by CT scan. Case 2 was a 7-year-old girl with an aggressive lesion in her right distal ulna. Case 3 was an 11-year-old boy with a lesion in the metaphysis of his left proximal tibia. Case 4 was an 11-year-old boy with bone destruction in the distal portion of a radius. Microscopically, the four tumors all consisted of numerous spindle cells, hyaline cartilage nodules, and bone trabeculae. The hypocellular to moderately cellular spindle cell component contained elongated cells with slightly hyperchromatic, mildly atypical nuclei arranged in bundles or intersecting fascicles. Benign-appearing cartilaginous nodules of various sizes and shapes were scattered throughout the tumors. There were areas mimicking epiphyseal growth-plate characterized by chondrocytes arranged in parallel columns and areas of enchondral ossification. The stroma was rich in mucus in case 1. Mutation of GNAS and IDH1/IDH2 and amplification of MDM2 gene were not found in any of the three tested cases. Conclusions: FM is very rare and tends to affect young patients. It most frequently occurs in the metaphysis of long tubular bones, followed by the iliac-pubic bones and vertebrae. FM is characterized by a mixed population of spindle cells, hyaline cartilage nodules and trabeculae of bone, without specific immunophenotypes and molecular alternations. As a borderline, locally aggressive neoplasm, surgical removal with a wide margin is generally the treatment of choice for FM.

Abstract
The fifth edition of World Health Organization (WHO) classification of thyroid tumors replaced the "borderline tumors" in the fourth edition with "low-risk tumors", including noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features, uncertain malignant potential and hyalinizing trabecular tumors. All of them are thyroid tumors with follicular epithelial cell origin, capsule/clear boundary, no lymph node and distant metastasis (EX0, N0, M0). The spread probability of "low-risk tumor" is extremely low, and this new classification can protect the pathologists from medical litigation when encountering rare and special metastatic cases. Based on the interpretation of the thyroid tumor classification, this paper further discussed several low-risk tumors, which were not listed in the current WHO classification.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics and treatment effect of patients with acute oral 84 disinfectant poisoning, so as to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Methods: In January 2022, 25 hospitalized patients with acute oral 84 disinfectant poisoning admitted to our department from March 2016 to August 2021 were selected as the research objects, and their general conditions, poisoning reasons, poisoning time, dose of poisoning, clinical manifestations, blood routine and biochemical indicators, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis were selected. Results: A retrospective analysis was performed. Among the 25 patients, there were 4 males and 21 females, aged from 20 to 91 years, and M (Q(1), Q(3)) was 38.7 (27, 46) years; The poisoning time (from exposure to poison to treatment) was 1~72 h, and M (Q(1), Q(3)) was 10.5 (3, 11.5) h. The length of stay was 1~20 days, and M (Q(1), Q(3)) was 5.72 (2, 7) days.The dose was 40-500 ml, and the M (Q(1), Q(3)) was 219.6 (100, 330) ml. Chest CT showed exudative changes in both lungs in 4 patients, excessive decreased permeability in 1 case and pleural effusion in 1 case. Gastroscope showed 2 cases of erosive inflammation of gastric body and antrum, 1 case of esophageal ulcer and cardiac ulcer, 1 case of corrosive gastritis, gastric fundus ulcer and esophageal stenosis. Abdominal X-ray showed 1 case of abdominal intestinal dilatation and pneumatosis with multiple gas-liquid planes.There were 1 case of type I respiratory failure, 6 cases of gastrointestinal bleeding and 1 case of incomplete intestinal obstruction. There were 19 cases of nausea and vomiting, 9 cases of abdominal pain, 6 cases of pharyngeal pain and 6 cases of retrosternal burning pain, 1 case of cough and 2 cases of fatigue. Conclusion: Acute oral 84 disinfectant will cause varying degrees of damage to the human digestive tract and lungs. In severe cases, gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, hypoxemia, etc, and even life-threatening, should be paid attention to clinically. The treatment is mainly symptomatic support treatment, such as protecting gastrointestinal mucosa, controlling acute inflammatory reaction, protecting the functions of liver and kidney and other important organs.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and influencing factors of surgery combined with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of children with non-orbital head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma (HNRMS). Methods: Information from 45 children diagnosed as non-orbital HNRMS and subjected to surgery combined with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from August 2017 to July 2021 was analyzed. The patients included 25 males and 20 females, aged from 1 to 17 years old. The primary tumor site, pathological subtype, clinical stage, risk group, therapeutic regimen, resection range and outcome of all cases were also collected. The survival curves were made using the Kaplan-Meier method and the potential prognostic factors were investigated by Cox regression analysis. Results: Fifteen (33.3%) of 45 children achieved negative surgical margin under complete tumor resection. The postoperative pathological results showed that there were 20 cases of embryonic subtype, 19 cases of alveolar subtype and 6 cases of spindle sclerosis subtype. The postoperative follow-up time ranged from 4 to 71 months, with a median of 26 months. During the follow-up period, 13 children died, among whom brain metastasis was the most common cause of death, accounting for 7/13. The 3-year overall survival rate was 67.6%. Multivariate analysis showed that non-embryonic subtype (HR=6.26, 95%CI: 1.52-25.87, P=0.011) and failure to reach R0 resection (HR=9.37, 95%CI: 1.18-74.34, P=0.034) were independent risk factors affecting overall survival rate. Conclusion: Surgery combined with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy can offer a good efficacy for children with non-orbital HNRMS. Non-embryonic subtype and resection without negative operative microscopic margins are independent risk factors for poor prognosis, and brain metastasis is the main cause of death in these children.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical value of mismatch negativity and P3a combined with electroencephalogram (EEG) reactivity to predict the prognosis of patients after severe brain injury. Methods: The clinical data of patients with severe brain injury who were admitted to the neurosurgical intensive care unit of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from October 2019 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent evaluation of auditory mismatch negativity (MMN), P3a, and EEG reactivity (EEG-R) within 28 days after the onset of coma. Patients were divided into two groups using the 3-month Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) after coma onset, a GOS score of 3-5 was defined as a favorable outcome, and GOS grades 1-2 were defined as an unfavorable outcome. The correlation between clinical indicators and prognosis was analyzed, and the predictive values of statistically significant indicators and the cut-off values were determined using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: A total of 48 patients were enrolled in the study, including 35 males and 13 females (age range:18-68 years old). Twenty-nine of the patients had a favorable outcome and 19 had an unfavorable outcome. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), EEG-R, absolute amplitude of MMN at Fz (FzMMNA), and amplitude of P3a at Cz (CzP3aA) were significantly correlated with the prognosis of comatose patients (P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that only EEG-R, FzMMNA, and CzP3aA were independent predictors for the prognosis of comatose patients after severe brain injury (all P<0.05), with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.757 (0.613-0.900), 0.912 (0.830-0.994) and 0.887 (0.793-0.981), respectively. The combination of FzMMNA and CzP3aA and the combinationof EEG-R, FzMMNA and CzP3aA increased the value of AUC to 0.942 (0.879-1.000) and 0.964 (0.920-1.000), respectively. Moreover, a cut-off value of 1.27 μV and 2.64 μV for FzMMNA and CzP3aA, respectively, yielded the best sensitivity and specificity for the prognosis prediction of patients with severe brain injury [FzMMNA: 89.66%(26/29) and 84.21%(16/19); CzP3aA:82.76%(24/29) and 84.21%(16/19)]. Conclusion: This study indicates that the combination of EEG-R, FzMMNA, and CzP3aA may serve as a favorable prognostic indicator for comatose patients after severe brain injury.
