Abstract
A 55-year-old male patient presenting with 6 months of bilateral difficulty in eye opening was referred to the ophthalmology department. Upon examination, multiple yellowish tumor-like plaques and nodules were observed on the eyelids and chest of the patient, accompanied by keratitis and iridocyclitis. Histopathological examination of the skin lesions on the chest revealed dermal xanthomatous granulomas with progressive necrosis. Bone marrow biopsy showed mantle cell lymphoma. Based on the medical history, the diagnosis of progressive necrotizing xanthogranuloma with mantle cell lymphoma was confirmed. After 6 months of treatment with bendamustine combined with rituximab, there was partial alleviation of ocular symptoms in the patient.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the features and influencing factors of language in children with various types of speech disorders. Methods: A case-control study was carried out, 262 children with speech disorder had been diagnosed at the language-speech clinic of the Center of Children's Healthcare, Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2021 to November 2023, the children with speech sound disorder as the speech sound disorder group, the children with developmental stuttering as the stuttering group. There were 100 typically-developed children who underwent physical checkups at the Center of Healthcare during the same period as the healthy group. All children experienced a standardized evaluation of language with diagnostic receptive and expressive assessment of mandarin-comprehensive(DREAM-C) and questionnaire, One-way ANOVA and LSD test were conducted to compare the differences in overall language, receptive language, expressive language, semantics, and syntax scores among 3 groups of children. According to the results of DREAM-C, the children with speech disorder were divided into language normal group and language delay group. Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression were implemented to analyze the association between the linguistic development of children with speech disorder and potential influential factors. Results: There were 145 children in the speech sound disorder group, including 110 males and 35 females respectively, with an age of (5.9±1.0) years; 117 children in the stuttering group, including 91 males and 26 females, with an age of (5.8±1.0) years; 100 children in the healthy group, including 75 males and 25 females, with an age of (5.7±1.2) years. The variations in overall language, expressive language, and syntax scores among 3 groups of children were statistically significant (92±18 vs.96±11 vs. 98±11, 81±18 vs. 84±14 vs. 88±13, 87±16 vs. 89±11 vs. 91±10, F=5.46, 4.69, 3.68, all P<0.05). Pairwise comparison revealed that the speech sound disorder group had lower scores in overall language, expressive language, and syntactic compared to the healthy group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.01) and the overall language score was lower than that of children with stuttering (P<0.05). In terms of overall language and expressive language, there was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of language delay among the three groups of children (15.9% (23/145) vs. 20.5% (24/117) vs. 7.0% (7/100), 46.2% (67/145) vs. 39.3% (46/117) vs. 26.0% (26/100); χ2=7.93, 10.28; both P<0.05). In terms of overall language, the stuttering group took up the highest proportion. In terms of expressive language, the speech sound disorder group accounted for the highest amount. The incidence of language delay in children with speech disorder was 44.3% (116/262). Non-parent-child reading, daily screen time ≥1 hour and screen exposure before 1.5 years of age are risk factors for the development of language in children with speech disorder (OR=1.87, 2.18, 2.01; 95%CI 1.07-3.27, 1.23-3.86, 1.17-3.45; all P<0.01). Negative family history are protective factors for the progress of language ability (OR=0.37, 95%CI 0.17-0.81, P<0.05). Conclusions: Children with speech disorder tend to have easy access to language delay, especially in expressive language and syntax. The occurrence of language delay in children with speech disorder is tightly connected with factors such as the family medical history, parent-child reading, screen time, etc. Attention should be paid to the development of language in children who suffer from speech disorder.

Abstract
This study was to determine the effects of the mixture of glycerol monolaurate and cinnamaldehyde (GCM) supplementation on the intestinal morphology, immunity, antioxidant status and cecal microbiota of laying hens. A total of 1,120 healthy laying hens (Jingfen-1 strain) at the age of 14 wk were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 replicates of 28 layers in each and layers were fed diets containing 0 (control group), or 250, 500, and 1,000 mg/kg GCM for 12 wk. The results showed that dietary supplementation with GCM significantly increased intestinal villus height and villus height/crypt depth, duodenal villus area, total superoxide disumutase activities in the liver and jejunum, jejunal glutathione peroxidase activities while decreased duodenal and jejunal crypt depth, hydrogen peroxide content in the liver and jejunal malondialdehyde content of laying hens aging 28 wk (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, GCM addition significantly increased serum immunoglobulin A and immunoglobulin M concentration of layers at the age of 20, 24, and 28 wk (P < 0.05). Moreover, it was observed in the 16S rRNA sequencing that the addition of GCM elevated the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota in laying hens. The predominant bacteria from each group were Bacteroidota and Firmicutes at the phylum level and Bacteroides and Lactobacillus were the dominant genera. The composition and structure of cecal microflora were changed by the addition of GCM to the diet of laying hens. In conclusion, the addition of GCM (500-1,000 mg/kg diet) can improve intestinal morphology, immune function, intestinal and liver antioxidant status and intestinal flora of laying hens, thereby improving intestinal digestion and absorption capacity. These findings provide a new way to further explore the mechanism of GCM improving intestinal health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjusting the direction of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) femoral tunnel is suggested to avoid tunnel convergence during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Yet, there has been no in vivo clinical study reporting the effect of changing the direction of the ALL tunnel on the incidence of convergence with the ACL tunnel. PURPOSE To report the incidence of convergence between the ACL femoral tunnel and a distally and anteriorly directed ALL femoral tunnel and to determine a safe distal angle and anterior angle. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A total of 227 patients undergoing concomitant ALL and anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction between January 2020 and December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The tunnel convergence rate, angular orientation of the tunnels, and distance between tunnels were obtained using postoperative computed tomography. The patients were grouped based on the direction of the ALL tunnel (transverse vs distal anterior) and the presence of tunnel convergence (convergence vs no convergence). RESULTS The overall tunnel convergence rate was 53.3% (121/227 patients). Tunnel convergence was observed less frequently in the distal anterior group (33.7%) than in the transverse group (65.2%) (P < .001). The no convergence group showed an ALL tunnel oriented more distally (20.2°± 11.1°) and anteriorly (19.5°± 10.2°) compared with the convergence group (8.7°± 6.5° and 6.9°± 5.3°, respectively) (P = .005 and P = .008, respectively). There were no cases of tunnel convergence for ALL tunnels >24.3° distally and >25.5° anteriorly. There was no difference in the angle of the ACL femoral tunnel between all groups. CONCLUSION A distally and anteriorly directed ALL femoral tunnel reduced the incidence of convergence with the ACL femoral tunnel. A distal angle >24.3° and an anterior angle >25.5° of an ALL tunnel are suggested to safely avoid convergence with the ACL tunnel.

Abstract
Membrane-bound organelles as well as membrane-free compartments exist in eukaryotic cells, which divide the nucleus and cytoplasm into distinct subregions and allow specific biochemical reactions to occur. The physiological mechanisms of membrane-bound organelles have been extensively characterized, but the formation and function of membrane-free compartments have not been thoroughly studied. Over the past decade, significant progress had been made in the studies about the role of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) in the formation of membrane-free organelles. LLPS which serves as an aggregated separation mechanism for cellular biochemical reactions, is associated with a variety of physiological processes such as signal transduction and gene transcriptional regulation; while aberrant LLPS may contribute to the occurrence of developmental diseases. The present review investigates the role of LLPS as a mechanism of aggregation and segregation of cellular biochemical responses. The mechanisms of LLPS development and recent advances in the relationships between aberrant LLPS and developmental diseases are forward discussed, as well as how these advances may aid in the development of LLPS-based therapies.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the incidence, treatment, and survival outcomes of Swyer syndrome with gonadal non-dysgerminoma malignant germ cell tumor (MGCT-NDG). Methods: A retrospective study was performed on Swyer syndrome patients with MGCT-NDG between January 2011 and December 2022 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital to investigate their characteristics and outcomes. Results: A total of 15 patients (4.9%, 15/307) with Swyer syndrome were identified in 307 MGCT-NDG patients. The average age at diagnosis of MGCT-NDG and Swyer syndrome were (16.8±6.7) and (16.7±6.6) years, respectively. Six cases were preoperatively diagnosed as Swyer syndrome, of which 4 cases received bilateral gonadectomy with or without hysterectomy, while the other 2 cases underwent removal of gonadal tumor and unilateral gonadectomy with hysterectomy, respectively. Of the 9 patients postoperatively diagnosed as Swyer syndrome, unilateral gonadectomy, removal of gonadal tumor, and unilateral gonadectomy with hysterectomy were performed in 6 patients, 2 patients, and 1 patient, respectively. Mixed malignant germ cell tumor (MGCT;10 cases), yolk sac tumor (4 cases), and immature teratoma (1 case) were the pathological subtypes, in the descending order. There were International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰ in 6 cases, stage Ⅱ in 3 cases, stage Ⅲ in 5 cases, and stage Ⅳ in 1 case, respectively. Eleven patients received reoperation for residual gonadectomy after a average delay of (7.9±6.2) months, including 8 MGCT-NDG patients and 1 gonadoblastoma patient, no tumor involved was seen in the remaining gonads in the other 2 cases. Ten patients experienced at least one recurrence, with a median event free survival of 9 months (5, 30 months), of which 2 patients received surgery only at the time of initial treatment. All patients with recurrence received surgery and combined with postoperative chemotherapy. After a median follow-up of 25 months (15, 42 months), 10 patients were disease-free, 3 patients died of the tumor, 1 died of side effects of leukemia chemotherapy, and 1 survived with disease. Conclusion: The incidence rate of Swyer syndrome in patients with MGCT-NDG is about 4.9%; timely diagnosis and bilateral gonadectomy should be emphasized to reduce the risk of reoperation and second carcinogenesis in this population.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the levels of serum glycocalyx markers in the first 24 hours after cardiac arrest (CA) and investigate their relationship with 30-day outcomes. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on prospectively collected data from CA patients, who were admitted to the intensive care units of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University and obtained return of spontaneous circulation for more than 24 hours between September 2021 and October 2022. Serum samples obtained at the 24-hour after CA were utilized to measure the levels of glycocalyx markers, including heparan sulfate (HS), hyaluronic acid (HA), and syndecan-1 (Sdc-1). Patients were allocated into good function (CPC1-2) and poor function (CPC3-5) groups on the basis of cerebral performance category (CPC) at 30 days post-CA. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between serum glycocalyx markers and neurological outcomes. Patients were regrouped in light of 30-d mortality and Cox regression analysis was used to determine the association between serum glycocalyx markers and 30-d mortality. Results: A total of 71 patients were included in the study, including 31 (43.7%) females and 40 (56.3%) males, with an average age of (59.0±17.0) years. The poor function group (n=49) demonstrated significantly elevated levels of HS and HA when compared to the good function group (n=22) [HS: 2 461.0(1 623.0, 5 492.0) μg/L vs 1 492.0 (914.0, 2 550.0) μg/L, P=0.008; HA: 124.0(97.0, 365.0)μg/L vs 337.0(135.0, 1 421.0) μg/L, P=0.033]. Adjusted logistic regression analysis revealed that HS was independently associated with poor neurological outcome [odds ratio (OR)=0.389, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.182-0.828, P=0.014]. In the 30-day mortality analysis, the death group (n=32) exhibited significantly higher levels of HS and HA when compared to the survival group (n=39) [HS: 1 880.0(1 011.0, 3 554.0) μg/L vs 2 500.0(1 726.0, 6 276.0) μg/L, P=0.027; HA: 162.0(99.0, 537.0) μg/L vs 813.0(148.0, 1 531.0) μg/L, P=0.025]. Adjusted Cox regression analysis indicated that elevated levels of HS and HA were independent risk factors (HS: HR=1.697, 95%CI: 1.126-2.557, P=0.011; HA: HR=1.336, 95%CI: 1.047-1.705, P=0.020) for 30-day mortality. Conclusions: High level of serum HS in 24 hours after CA may serve as a potential predictive marker for both neurological function and 30-day mortality. However, high level of serum HA appears to primarily predict 30-day mortality. Sdc-1 does not seem to contribute to outcome prediction.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the treatment of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). Methods: In this descriptive case series study, we retrospective analyzed the records of PMP patients treated with CRS and HIPEC between January 2013 and June 2023 at Affiliated Cancer Hospital and Institute of Guangzhou Medical University. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) Aged 18 to 75 years and nonpregnant women. (2) Histologically confirmed diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei. (3) Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS)>70. (4) The functions of major organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys can tolerate major surgery for long periods of time. (5) No evidence of extra-abdominal metastasis. Patients with extensive intra-abdominal adhesions or severe infectious diseases were excluded. The main outcomes were overall survival (OS) and postoperative major complications. The postoperative major complications were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 5.0). We used the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score to quantitatively assess the peritoneal metastases and the completeness of cytoreduction (CCR) score at the end of surgery (CCR-0 and CCR-1 considered to be complete CRS). Results: A total of the 186 PMP patients with a median age of 56 (interquartile range extremes (IQRE), 48-64) years were included, 65 (34.9%) males and 121 (65.1%) females. The median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score was 28 (20-34). Appendiceal origin accounted for 91.4%. Histological types were low grade in 99 patients (53.2%), high grade in 57 patients (30.6%), and 55 patients (29.6%) received complete cytoreduction (CCR-0/1). The median operative duration was 300 (211-430) minutes for all patients. Treatment-related 30-day mortality was 2.7%; 90-day mortality 4.3%; reoperation 1.6%; and severe morbidity 43.0%. Within the entire series, anemia(27.4%), electrolyte disturbance(11.6%), and hypoalbuminemia(7.5%) were the most frequent major complications (grade 3-4). The incidences of gastrointestinal anastomotic leakage, abdominal bleeding, and abdominal infection were 2.2%, 2.2%, and 4.3%, respectively. After a median follow-up of 38.1 (95%CI:31.2-45.1) months, the 5-year OS was 50.3% (95%CI: 40.7%-59.9%) with a median survival time of 66.1 (95%CI: 43.1-89.1) months. The survival analysis showed that patients with pathological low grade, low PCI, and low CCR score had better survival with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Further stratified into complete and incomplete CRS subgroups, the 5-year OS of the CCR-0 and CCR-1 subgroups was 88.9% (95%CI: 68.3%-100.0%) and 77.6% (95%CI: 62.7%-92.5%), respectively; and 42.0% (95%CI: 29.5%-54.5%) in the CCR-2/3 subgroup. Conclusions: CRS and HIPEC may result in a long-term survival benefit for PMP patients with acceptable perioperative morbidity and mortality. This strategy, when complete CRS is possible, could significantly prolong survival for strictly selected patients at experienced centers.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics of epileptic seizure associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Methods: From January 2017 to July 2023 at Children's Hospital Capital Institute of Pediatrics, medical records of patients with both NF1 and epileptic seizure were reviewed in this case series study. The clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 15 patients(12 boys and 3 girls) were collected. Café-au-lait macules were observed in all 15 patients. There were 6 patients with neurodevelopmental disorders and the main manifestations were intellectual disability or developmental delay. The age at the first epileptic seizure was 2.5 (1.2, 5.5) years. There were various seizure types, including generalized tonic-clonic seizures in 8 patients, focal motor seizures in 6 patients, epileptic spasm in 4 patients, tonic seizures in 1 patient, absence in 1 patient, generalized myoclonic seizure in 1 patient and focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure in 1 patient. Among 14 patients whose brain magnetic resonance imaging results were available, there were abnormal signals in corpus callosum, basal ganglia, thalamus or cerebellum in 6 patients, dilated ventricles of different degrees in 3 patients, blurred gray and white matter boundary in 2 patients, agenesis of corpus callosum in 1 patient and no obvious abnormalities in the other patients. Among 13 epilepsy patients, 8 were seizure-free with 1 or 2 antiseizure medications(ASM), 1 with drug resistant epilepsy was seizure-free after left temporal lobectomy, and the other 4 patients who have received 2 to 9 ASM had persistent seizures. One patient with complex febrile convulsion achieved seizure freedom after oral administration of diazepam on demand. One patient had only 1 unprovoked epileptic seizure and did not have another seizure without taking any ASM. Conclusions: The first epileptic seizure in NF1 patients usually occurs in infancy and early childhood, with the main seizure type of generalized tonic-clonic seizure and focal motor seizure. Some patients have intellectual disability or developmental delay. Most epilepsy patients achieve seizure freedom with ASM.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the clinical, radiographic, and second-look arthroscopic outcomes between double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (DB group) and combined single-bundle (SB) ACL and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction (SB + ALL group) by a prospective randomized controlled trial. METHODS From May 2019 to June 2020, 84 patients were enrolled in this study. Among them, 10 were lost to follow-up. Thirty-six and 38 patients were successfully allocated to the DB (mean follow up 27.3 ± 4.2 months) and SB + ALL groups (27.2 ± 4.5 months), respectively. The preoperative and postoperative Lachman test, pivot shift test, anterior translation on stress radiographs, KT-2000 arthrometer, Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee score, and Tegner activity score were evaluated and compared. Graft continuity was evaluated using postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (32 and 36 patients underwent MRI in the DB and SB + ALL groups at 7.4 ± 3.2 and 7.5 ± 2.9 months after surgery, respectively), and second-look examinations (second-look examination and tibial screw removal were performed concomitantly when patients (1) had tibial screw-related irritation or (2) needed the screws removed, 28 and 23 patients underwent examinations in the DB and SB + ALL groups at 24.0 ± 6.8 and 24.9 ± 8.1 months after surgery, respectively). All measurements were compared between the groups. RESULTS Postoperative clinical outcomes significantly improved in both groups. (All variables showed P < .001) No statistically different outcomes were found between the 2 groups. Additionally, postoperative graft continuity on MRI and second-look examinations were not different between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS The DB and SB + ALL groups showed similar postoperative clinical, radiographic, and second-look arthroscopic outcomes. Both groups showed excellent postoperative stability and clinical outcomes compared with the preoperative measurements. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
Objective: To provide references for the clinical popularization of stainless steel crowns by analyzing the clinical application and affecting factors of stainless steel crowns used in primary molars based on a questionnaire survey. Methods: Pediatric dentists from all over the country in June to December 2013 and June to December 2022 were selected to answer the survey questionnaire through the online or offline methods for analyzing the clinical application and influencing factors of stainless steel crowns used in primary molars. Results: A total of 712 and 580 questionnaires were distributed, and 608 and 512 valid questionnaires were recovered respectively in 2013 and 2022. The effective rates of the questionnaires were 85.4% and 88.3%. Among them, the usage rates of stainless steel crowns in 2013 and 2022 were 52.6% (320/608) and 78.1% (400/512) respectively, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=78.68, P<0.001). The main reasons for not selecting stainless steel crowns in 2013 were high technical sensitivity [52.8% (152/288)], followed by the impact of crown edge on gingiva [50.0% (144/288)] and poor aesthetics [27.8% (80/288)], while in 2022 were the inadequate equipage in hospitals [53.6% (60/112)] and poor aesthetics [21.4% (24/112)]. The main reasons for choosing stainless steel crowns restoration were good protection effect, less tooth fracture [78.1% (250/320) in 2013 and 82.5% (330/400) in 2022], followed by low dropout rate [62.5% (200/320) in 2013 and 68.0% (272/400) in 2022]. The proportions of stainless steel crowns restoration for primary molars after root canal therapy were 51.3% (312/608) and 76.6% (392/512) respectively with statistically significant (χ2=75.88, P<0.001). The proportions after pulp capping treatment for deep caries were 13.2% (80/608) and 53.1% (272/512) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=206.01,P<0.001). Conclusions: During the 10 years from 2013 to 2022, the technical sensitivity of stainless steel crowns had gradually decreased, and the application in China had gradually increased. However, some hospitals have not yet equipped, which limits the application of stainless steel crowns. Therefore, training efforts should be derived to promote the clinical popularization of stainless steel crowns.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the feasibility and value of performing a three-sided encapsulation procedure based on fascia anatomy in laparoscopic lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) for middle and low rectal cancer. Methods: This was a retrospective review. The study cohort comprised patients who met the diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer according to the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer, had a short lymph node diameter of >5 mm on the lateral side within the 15 days before surgery, were evaluated as feasible candidates for laparoscopic total mesorectal excision+LLND surgery, had been diagnosed with low or intermediate level rectal cancer, and whose tumor was less than 8 cm away from the anal verge according to pathological examination of the operative specimen. Patients with a history of other malignant tumors of the abdomen or with incomplete follow-up data were excluded. Forty-two patients with middle and low rectal cancer who had undergone lateral lymph node dissection in diagnosis and treatment center of Gastrointestinal Cancer of Guangdong Hospital of Chinese Medicine from Jan.2018 to Dec.2022 were enrolled. There were 24 men (57.1%) and 18 women (42.9%) aged 58.4±11.8 years and the median BMI was 22.5 (19.3-24.1) kg/m2. The main point of the three-sided encapsulation procedure is to expand the external side medial to the external iliac artery and vein, narrowing the range of exterior side dissection. The anterior-medial side is designed to expand the vesical fascia to define the range of anterior-medial side extension. The internal side is fully extended to the ureterohypogastric nerve fascia; the distal point of the caudal extension reaches the level of the Alcock canal and the bottom reaches the piriformis, enabling dissection of the obturator nerve and No.283 lymph nodes. No.263D lymph nodes are dissected by exposing the internal iliac artery and its branches, dissecting the group No.263P lymph nodes, and severing the inferior vesical artery. Finally, the lateral lymphatic tissue is completely resected. Relevant variables were recorded, including the number of lateral lymph nodes detected, the rate of lymph node metastasis, operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, and 3-year overall survival rate. Results: Laparoscopic surgery was successfully completed in all patients with no conversions to open surgery and no intraoperative complications. Twenty-seven (64.3%) of the study patients underwent left-sided LLND, 10 (23.8%) right-sided LLND, and five (11.9%) bilateral LLND, with lymph nodes cleared on both sides. All patients' lymph nodes were examined pathologically. A median of 17.0 (11.7, 26.0) lymph nodes was detected, the median of lateral lymph nodes being 5.0 (2.0, 10.2). The median operation time was 254.5 (199.0, 325.2) minutes. The median intra-operative blood loss was 50.0 (30.0, 100.0) mL. All patients were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma by pathological examination of the operative specimen. Two patients developed postoperative intestinal obstruction, one lymphatic leakage, and one a perineal incision infection. There were no cases of anastomotic leakage. The median postoperative hospital stay was 6.0 (5.0, 7.0) days and the median follow-up time 23.5 (9.0, 36.7) months. During follow-up, three patients (7.1%) died of tumor recurrence and metastasis. Two (4.8%) experienced mild urinary dysfunction, and one (2.4%) had moderate postoperative erectile dysfunction. One patient (2.4%) was found to have prostate and lung metastases 3 month after surgery. The 3-year overall survival rate was 74.4%. Conclusions: Three sided encapsulation is a safe and feasible procedure for LLND, achieving accurate and complete clearance of lateral lymphatic tissue.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the association between smoking status and related mortality among elderly people aged 60 and above in urban and rural areas of Beijing City. Methods: Based on Beijing City Elderly Comprehensive Health Cohort Study from 2009 to 2014, a total of 4 499 eligible older adults included in the baseline survey were followed up and investigated to collect information on survival and death. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and the dose-response relationship was estimated between the smoking index, the years of quitting and mortality. Results: The median (IQR) age of 4 499 subjects was 70.00 (10.00) years old, including 1 814 (40.32%) males. The proportion of non-smokers, former smokers and current smokers was 69.50% (3 127/4 499), 13.20% (594/4 499) and 17.30% (778/4 499), respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors such as demographic and sociological characteristics, lifestyle, etc., the results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that, compared to non-smokers, former smokers had a 30.6% increased risk of all-cause mortality [HR (95%CI): 1.306 (1.043-1.636)] and the HR (95%CI) of all-cause, malignant tumor and lung cancer mortality among current smokers has increased by 50.0% [HR (95%CI): 1.500 (1.199-1.877)], 80.3% [HR (95%CI): 1.803 (1.226-2.652)] and 212.6% [HR (95%CI): 3.126 (1.626-6.012)], respectively. The smoking index was positively associated with the increased risk of all-cause, malignant tumor and lung cancer mortality, while the years of smoking cessation were negatively associated with that risk (P<0.05). Conclusion: Smoking is associated with tobacco-related mortality among elderly people in Beijing City.

Abstract
Background For anterolateral rotatory instability as a result of secondary soft tissue injuries in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knees, there is increasing interest in secondary stabilizers to prevent internal rotation (IR) of the tibia. Purpose To determine which secondary stabilizer is more important in anterolateral rotatory instability in ACL-deficient knees. Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Methods The lower extremities of 10 fresh-frozen cadavers (20 extremities) without anterior-posterior or rotational instability were included. Matched-pair randomization was performed, with each side per specimen assigned to 1 of 2 groups. In group 1, the ACL was sectioned, followed by the anterolateral ligament (ALL); in group 2, the ACL was sectioned, followed by sequential sectioning of the posterolateral meniscocapsular complex (PLMCC) and posteromedial meniscocapsular complex (PMMCC). The primary outcome was the change in relative tibial IR during a simulated pivot-shift test with 5 N·m of IR torque and 8.9 N of valgus force. The secondary outcomes were the International Knee Documentation Committee grade in the pivot-shift test and the incidence of the grade 3 pivot shift. Results In group 1, compared with baseline, the change in relative tibial IR at 0° of knee flexion was 1.4° (95% CI, -0.1° to 2.9°; P = .052) after ALL release. In group 2, it was 2.5° (95% CI, 0.4° to 4.8°; P = .007) after PLMCC release and 4.1° (95% CI, 0.5° to 7.8°; P = .017) after combined PLMCC and PMMCC release. Combined PLMCC and PMMCC release resulted in greater change of tibial IR with statistical significance at 0°, 15°, and 30° of knee flexion (P = .008, .057, and .004, respectively) compared with ALL release. The incidence of grade 3 pivot shifts was 10% in group 1 and 90% in group 2. Conclusion Posterior meniscocapsular laxity caused an increase in relative tibial IR as much as ALL injury in ACL-deficient knees in our simulated laboratory test, and greater anterolateral rotatory instability occurred with posterior meniscocapsular injury compared with ALL injury. Clinical Relevance Repair of the injured posterior meniscocapsular complex may be an important treatment option for reducing anterolateral rotatory instability in the ACL-deficient knee.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between screen exposure and language skills in children aged 2-5 years. Methods: There were 299 children aged 2-5 years, recruited by convenience sampling from those who visited the Center of Children's Healthcare, Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics for routine physical examination from November 2020 to November 2021. Their development status were evaluated by the children neuropsychological and behavioral scale (revision 2016). A self-designed questionnaire for parents was conducted to collect demographic and socioeconomic information and screen exposure characteristics (time and quality). One-way ANOVA and independent sample t test were applied to compare the differences in language development quotient of children with different screen exposure time and quality. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between screen exposure time and quality with language developmental quotient. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk of language underdevelopment in children with different screen exposure time and quality. Results: Among 299 children, 184 (61.5%) were boys and 115 (38.5%) were girls, with the age of (3.9±1.1) years. The number of children with daily screen time <60, 60-120 and>120 min was 163 children (54.5%), 86 children (28.8%) and 50 children (16.7%), respectively, with the language development quotients of 94±13, 90±13, 84±14, respectively, demonstrating a statistically significant difference (F=8.92, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis revealed that screen exposure time of 60-120 and >120 min per day were both risk factors for children's language developmental quotients (OR=2.28, 95%CI 1.00-5.17, P=0.043; OR=3.96, 95%CI 1.86-9.17, P<0.001), and co-viewing and exposure to educational programs were both protective factors for children's language developmental quotients (OR=0.48, 95%CI 0.25-0.91, P=0.024, OR=0.36, 95%CI 0.19-0.70, P=0.003). Conclusions: Excessive exposure screen time and inappropriate screen exposure habits are associated with children's poorer language development. Screen exposure time should be limited and screen use should be rational to promote children's language skills.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the characteristics and correlations of vaginal flora in women with cervical lesions. Methods: A total of 132 women, including 41 women diagnosed with normal cervical (NC), 39 patients with low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 1), 37 patients with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2/3) and 15 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), who came from the gynecological clinic of Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University during January 2018 to June 2018, were enrolled in this study according to the inclusive and exclusive criteria strictly. The vaginal flora was detected by 16S rDNA sequencing technology. Co-occurrence network analysis was used to investigate the Spearman correlations between different genera of bacteria. Results: The dominant bacteria in NC, CIN 1 and CIN 2/3 groups were Lactobacillus [constituent ratios 79.4% (1 869 598/2 354 098), 63.6% (1 536 466/2 415 100) and 58.3% (1 342 896/2 301 536), respectively], while Peptophilus [20.4% (246 072/1 205 154) ] was the dominant bacteria in SCC group. With the aggravation of cervical lesions, the diversity of vaginal flora gradually increased (Shannon index: F=6.39, P=0.001; Simpson index: F=3.95, P=0.012). During the cervical lesion progress, the ratio of Lactobacillus gradually decreased, the ratio of other anaerobes such as Peptophilus, Sneathia, Prevotella and etc. gradually increased, and the differential bacteria (LDA score >3.5) gradually evolved from Lactobacillus to other anaerobes. The top 10 relative abundance bacteria, spearman correlation coefficient>0.4 and P<0.05 were selected. Co-occurrence network analysis showed that Prevotella, Peptophilus, Porphyrinomonas, Anaerococcus, Sneathia, Atopobium, Gardnerella and Streptococcus were positively correlated in different stages of cervical lesions, while Lactobacillus was negatively correlated with the above anaerobes. It was found that the relationship between vaginal floras in CIN 1 group was the most complex and only Peptophilus was significantly negatively correlated with Lactobacillus in SCC group. Conclusions: The increased diversity and changed correlations between vaginal floras are closely related to cervical lesions. Peptophilus is of great significance in the diagnosis, prediction and early warning of cervical carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Objective: Exploring the neuropsychological developmental characteristics and influencing factors of children with speech disorder. Methods: A case-control study was conducted. A total of 395 children diagnosed with speech disorders were selected as speech sound disorder (SSD) group from January 2019 to September 2021 in the speech-speech outpatient department of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics, and 1 179 healthy children who underwent physical examination in the health department during the same period were selected as the control group. All the children were examined by the "Children's Neuropsychological Behavior Scale 2016 Edition" (Children's Mind Scale 2016 edition). Independent sample t test was used to compare the developmental levels of the two groups of children, including total developmental quotient, gross motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language and social behavior ability. The influential factors of children's speech disorders were analyzed by univariate Chi-square analysis and multivariate logistic regression. Results: There were 395 SSD children, including 296 males and 99 females, 4≤ age ≤6, (4.71±0.76) years. There were 1 179 children in the control group, including 864 males and 315 females, 4≤ age ≤6, (4.64±0.78) years. The mean value of total developmental factors in SSD group was lower than that in control group [(86.45±11.57)/(91.24±8.0), t=-7.78, P<0.01], and the mean values of total developmental markers in both boys and girls in SSD group were lower than those in control group [(86.00±11.40)/(90.78±7.86), t=-6.70, P<0.01; (87.82±12.03)/(92.87±8.49), t=-3.88, P<0.01]. The mean values of gross motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language ability and social behavior in SSD group were lower than those in control group [(89.76±12.47)/(92.01±10.69), t=-3.21, P<0.01; (80.62±13.64)/(84.49±11.55), t=-5.06, P<0.01; (87.92±15.25)/(92.98±12.06), t=-6.00, P<0.01; (86.48±16.30)/(94.55±12.08), t=-9.04, P<0.01; (87.02±15.18)/(92.63±12.57), t=-6.62, P<0.01]; The mean value of fine motor in boys was lower than that in girls in SSD group [(79.80±13.42)/(83.08±14.05), t=-2.08, P<0.05]. Independent mealtimes. 2 years old (OR=1.527, 95%CI: 1.180-1.977, P=0.001), delay in adding supplemental food (OR=1.510, 95%CI: 1.123-2.029, P=0.006), dialect in the home language environment (OR=1.351, 95%CI: 1.060-1.723, P=0.015) were risk factors for children with speech disorders. Conclusion: Children with speech disorders are more common in boys. The overall development level of SSD children is lower than that of normal children, and the fine motor of SSD boys is lower than that of girls. The incidence of children's speech disorders is related to the addition time of supplementary food, independent meal time and family language environment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) for osteoarthritis (OA) has been performed for several decades. However, supporting evidence from randomised studies using modern methodologies is lacking, and a recently published randomised study failed to show the significant benefit of LDRT. The presented trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LDRT for patients with knee OA. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This prospective, multicentre, randomised trial will be conducted in the Republic of Korea. A total of 114 participants will be randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive sham irradiation, 0.3 Gy/6 fractions of LDRT or 3 Gy/6 fractions of LDRT. Key inclusion criteria are primary knee OA with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2-3 and visual analogue scale 50-90 when walking at the baseline. The primary endpoint is the rate of responders at 4 months after LDRT according to the OARSI-OMERACT criteria. Concomitant use of analgesics is prohibited until the primary efficacy evaluation is scheduled. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Currently, approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of the Republic of Korea and the institutional review board of each participating hospital has been obtained. Patient enrolment began in October 2022 and is ongoing at three participating sites. The results will be disseminated to academic audiences and the public via publication in an international peer-reviewed journal and presentation at conferences. This trial will provide valuable information on the safety and efficacy of LDRT for patients with knee OA. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05562271.

Abstract
A male patient presented to department of ophthalmology for progressive left eye blurred vision with visual deformation for 1 month. Imaging findings were typical intraocular lymphoma infiltration, and head MRI and positron emission tomography-CT showed no mass in other parts of the body. After review of the medical history, the patient first presented with extrocular signs such as lacrimal gland enlargement, eyeball protrusion and extraocular myoedema, without any abnormal changes in the fundus. Combined with the history, the patient was diagnosed as a binocular primary accessory mantle cell lymphoma with intraocular infiltration. After 9 months of systemic treatment with rituximab combined with zbrutinib, the patient's binocular visual acuity was significantly improved and the intraocular and intraocular manifestations disappeared.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO), sometimes the plate tends to be positioned anteromedially. The plate position can affect the length of the proximal screw, which significantly affects stability after osteotomy. Therefore, research on the correlation among plate position, screw length, and clinical outcomes is needed. METHODS This retrospective review examines 196 knees in 175 patients who underwent MOWHTO from May 2012 to December 2018, for symptomatic medial compartment osteoarthritis with a varus alignment of > 5°. We evaluated the anteroposterior plate position, length of proximal screw, and postoperative computed tomography (CT). We reviewed patients' clinical outcome scores, presence of lateral hinge fracture, neurovascular complications, and infection. The correlation among proximal plate position, proximal screw length, and clinical outcomes was evaluated using Pearson's correlation analysis. A subgroup analysis by screw angle (> 48 ° or < 48 °) was also performed using chi-square test and Student t-test. RESULTS The mean proximal plate position was 16.28% (range, 5.17-44.74) of the proximal tibia's anterior-to-posterior distance ratio, and the proximal screw length averaged 63.8 mm (range, 44-80 mm). Proximal posteromedial plate position and proximal screw length were significantly correlated (r2 = 0.667, P < .001), as were screw angle and length (r2 = 0.746, P < .001). Medial plating (< 48°) can use a longer proximal screw; nevertheless, no significant difference occurred in clinical outcomes between the two groups. Also, no differences occurred in complication rate, including hinge fracture. CONCLUSION With more medially positioned plating during MOWHTO, we can use longer proximal screws. However, there was no significant difference in clinical outcomes and the incidence of lateral hinge fractures regardless of plate position and screw length.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The term posterior horn lateral meniscal oblique radial tear (LMORT) has emerged to characterize the tear patterns of the lateral meniscus in many patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. There is a lack of data regarding the exact incidence according to the types of LMORT and clinical outcomes. PURPOSES (1) To investigate the incidence of LMORT according to type in patients with acute ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and (2) to identify healing status after repair of LMORT via second-look arthroscopy and clinical outcomes. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence: 4. METHODS Patients who underwent primary ACLR within 6 months of injury were retrospectively reviewed. The LMORT was classified into 4 types based on the severity and distance from the root: type 1 (partial tear <10 mm from the root), type 2 (complete tear <10 mm from the root), type 3 (partial tear >10 mm from the root), type 4a (complete tear >10 mm from the root), and type 4b (type 4a with longitudinal tear at the meniscocapsular junction). Only patients with LMORT were isolated, and the clinical outcomes were compared according to the healing status of LMORT in second-look arthroscopy. RESULTS Of 635 patients with ACLR, LMORT was identified in 97 patients (15.3%), and type 4 LMORT accounted for the largest proportion (n = 62; 32.6%) of 190 lateral meniscal tears. In 79 patients with LMORT who satisfied the 2-year follow-up period, all patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including the Lysholm (preoperative, 64.1; postoperative, 88.2) and International Knee Documentation Committee subjective (preoperative, 50.5; postoperative, 82.9) scores, were significantly improved (P < .001) 31.8 months postoperatively. Of the 61 patients who underwent second-look arthroscopy, 49 (80.3%) were classified into the complete healing group. There was no significant difference in postoperative PROs between the complete and partial healing groups. CONCLUSION The incidence of LMORT was 15.3% in patients with acute ACL injury, and type 4 LMORT was the most common type. Complete healing of LMORT was achieved in 80.3% of patients who underwent second-look arthroscopy, and the PROs were significantly improved postoperatively. Good clinical results can be achieved if the LMORT is repaired as much as possible during ACLR.

Abstract
Background: Time-dependent changes in lower extremity alignment after an opening-wedge
high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) have been poorly investigated. Moreover, few
studies have investigated risk factors of postoperative alignment
change. Purposes: To investigate time-dependent alignment changes and identify predictive
factors for postoperative alignment change after OWHTO. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This study included patients who underwent OWHTO between March 2010 and
September 2018. A total of 142 knees with a mean follow-up of 42 months were
included and classified as the change group when the amount of
hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle change was >1°; if otherwise, then as the
no-change group. HKA angle was obtained at 6 time points: preoperatively and
at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and final follow-up postoperatively.
Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify the factors that were
correlated with the changes in the HKA angle from 3 months to the final
follow-up. Results: Among the 142 knees, 59 (42%) were included in the change group. The overall
postoperative HKA angles progressed serially toward varus after OWHTO. The
mean angles of the 6 time points were 8.5°, –3.7°, –3.6°, –3.3°, –3.1°, and
–2.7°, respectively. The mean HKA angles of the change and no-change groups
were 9.1°, –4.3°, –3.4°, –2.8°, –2.0°, and –1.4° and 8.1°, –3.3°, –3.8°,
–3.6°, –3.8°, and –3.7°, respectively. Greater change in the HKA angle was
predicted by preoperatively greater valgus stress joint line convergence
angles and less medial joint space width. Conclusion: Of the cases of OWHTO, 42% showed correction loss of >1° at a mean
follow-up of 42 months. The overall postoperative HKA angles progressed
serially to varus angles after OWHTO. Preoperative greater valgus stress
joint line convergence angles and less medial joint space width were
predictive factors for greater change in alignment toward varus after
OWHTO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Achieving the postoperative mechanical axis passing through 62.5% of the tibial plateau is considered successful osteotomy surgery. Despite precise preoperative planning and surgical techniques, some procedures result in under- or overcorrection. Few studies have investigated the relationship between clinical outcomes and unintentional under- or overcorrection after open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) using whole-leg standing radiographs. PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between postoperative alignment using whole-leg standing radiographs and clinical outcomes after OWHTO. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A total of 89 knees (72 patients) that underwent OWHTO between October 2013 and September 2018 were included. Patients with postoperative weightbearing line (WBL) ratios within 57% to 67% were classified as appropriate correction (group A; 45 cases), whereas ratios <57% and >67% were classified as undercorrection (group U; 20 cases) and overcorrection (group O; 24 cases), respectively. The following patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were investigated: International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score, Kujala score, and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). The correlation between postoperative WBL and PROs was analyzed. PROs were compared among the 3 groups. RESULTS Regarding the correlation between postoperative WBL ratio and PROs, a larger postoperative WBL ratio was significantly correlated with a poor IKDC subjective score (P = .002), Kujala score (P = .009), and KOOS. Group O showed inferior postoperative PRO scores when compared with group A or U, whereas group U showed a similar result to group A (mean IKDC subjective scores: group U, 62.0; group A, 61.2; group O, 47.6; P = .004). CONCLUSION Overcorrection after OWHTO surgery correlated with inferior PROs; therefore, overcorrected alignment should be avoided for patient satisfaction. Knees with an undercorrected alignment showed clinical results similar to those with appropriate correction.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the pathological subtypes and clinicopathological characteristics of the non-squamous immunophenotype nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NSNPC). Methods: The clinicopathological features of the non-squamous immunophenotype nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosed between 2011 and 2019 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin staining, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, transmission electron microscopy and PCR gene rearrangement. Follow-up data were also collected. Results: There were 14 males and 9 females with a median age of 46 years (ranging from 16 to 76 years) with an average age of 45 years. Microscopically, patterns were similar to the classic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry showed that most NSNPC cases expressed low molecular weight keratin (CK8/18, CK8 and CKL) and expressed pathway proteins in a low level (EGFR, PI3K, p-AKT and p-mTOR), which had significant difference from classic nasopharyngeal carcinoma group (P<0.05). Other proteins including CK5/6, CKpan, CK7, Syn, CD56, CgA, SOX-10, AKT, mTOR, Notch, STAT3 and p-STAT3 showed no statistical difference between the two groups. Pathogen detection showed that EBER was positive (18/23, 78.3%) and HPV positive(2/23, 8.7%)which were HPV35 and HPV38. The cancer suppressor gene BLU was highly expressed in NSNPC; RASSF1 and Rbms3 were less expressed in NSNPC, in line with classic NPC. As a whole, NSNPC was characterized by ultrastructures of low-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Compared with classic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, NSNPC had a lower recurrence rate and earlier clinical stage(P<0.05),but there was no significant correlation with age, sex, distant metastasis and death (P>0.05). Conclusions: The histological morphology, etiology and gene changes of NSNPC are similar to those of classical nasopharyngeal carcinoma and ultrastructural findings show that NSNPC still belongs to undifferentiated type in non-keratinized squamous cell carcinoma. The malignant degree of NSNPC is low and the prognosis is good.

Abstract
Glaucoma following cataract surgery is one of the common complications after pediatric cataract surgery, and it is the main cause of "second blindness" in children. Since this atypical disease is difficult to diagnose and evaluate, it has been gradually paid more attention by clinicians. There are still some controversies and challenges related to the characteristics of the disease, diagnostic criteria, and treatment options. This article discusses the definition, diagnostic criteria, related risk factors, treatment strategies, follow-up, and prognoses of glaucoma following cataract surgery. Establishment of a diagnosis and treatment system can better improve the visual rehabilitation of pediatric cataract children.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of perioperative ΔcfDNA to ΔCEA (over the first 2 years post-operatively) for identifying disease recurrence in colon cancer. METHODS Patients presenting for elective resection for colon cancer with curative intent were screened for inclusion. Perioperative cfDNA levels were measured at seven different times points(pre-operative and post-operative at 3 h, 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, POD3 and POD5). CEA levels were measured on the same patients up to 2 years post-operatively. Change in trend (Δ) was defined as the β coefficient using a logistic regression model. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, version 23. RESULTS Longitudinal data on twenty-two patients were analysed (n = 16 male, n = 6 female) for a median of 29 months (IQR 23 months) during which time three patients developed (distant) recurrence. Perioperative ΔcfDNA at 48Hrs, POD3 and POD5 were significantly associated with early recurrence. ΔCEA was significantly associated with early recurrence at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post-operatively, only when disease recurrence was macroscopically established. ΔcfDNA was associated with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.947 (95% CI 0.88-1.0, p < 0.001) and ΔCEA was associated with an AUC of 0.9382 (95%CI 0.88-0.99, p < 0.0001). This translated into a specificity of 97% (95%CI 86.51-99.87%) for ΔcfDNA and 77.5% sensitivity (95%CI 62.5-87.7%) in the immediate perioperative period and an 88.9% specificity (95%CI 56.5-99.4%) and 76.5% sensitivity (95%CI 63.24-86%) for ΔCEA over the first 2 years post-operatively. CONCLUSIONS In this pilot study, following curative resection for colon cancer changing trends in perioperative cfDNA (ΔcfDNA) identify those at risk of recurrent disease before recurrence develops which is at least 6 months earlier than CEA changes (ΔCEA) which are only observed when recurrence is established.

Abstract
Varus alignment of the knee joint (varus >5°) is known as a poor prognostic factor for medial meniscus root repair, and alignment correction is recommended in patients with varus deformity and medial meniscus root tears. However, simultaneous medial meniscus pull-out repair and high tibial osteotomy are technically demanding procedures due to the long surgical time, poor visualization, and breaking of the pull-out sutures during high tibial osteotomy procedures. In the present Technical Note, we will introduce a surgical method to perform 2 procedures simultaneously without technical difficulty. The main surgical techniques are as follows. (1) Release the superficial medial collateral ligament before arthroscopic medial meniscus pull-out repair, which secures sufficient working space and visualization. Therefore, the operation time could also be reduced by performing the arthroscopic procedure with the anterior portal. (2) Protect the pull-out sutures with an ENDOBUTTON reamer, which prevents pull-out sutures from breaking during the high tibial osteotomy procedure.

Abstract
Quadriceps strength is critical for patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction; however, little is known about the relationship between preoperative quadriceps strength deficit and postoperative subjective knee functions. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative quadriceps strength and postoperative knee function in patients after ACL reconstruction. Seventy-five male patients with primary ACL reconstruction surgery with hamstring autografts between 2014 and 2017 were included. An isokinetic dynamometer assessed quadriceps strength while self-reported knee functions were measured by the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm scores at baseline and 1 year after surgery. The three identified groups (Q1-Q3) were classified according to the preoperative quadriceps muscle strength deficit. Q1 were patients with < 25% quadriceps muscle strength deficit, Q2 showed a 25-45% deficit, and Q3 included those with a deficit > 45%. We compared knee functions between the three groups and examined the associations between preoperative variables and functional knee outcomes. The preoperative quadriceps muscle strength deficit had a negative association with the knee functional scores at 1 year follow-up including the IKDC score (rs = - 0.397, p = 0.005) and the Lysholm score (rs = - 0.454, p < 0.001), but not other factors. Furthermore, only the Q1 group, with < 25% deficit in preoperative quadriceps muscle strength, showed a significant correlation in postoperative IKDC score (r = - 0.462, p = 0.030), and Lysholm score (r = - 0.446, p = 0.038). Preoperative quadriceps muscle strength deficit had a significant negative relationship with postoperative function at 1 year following ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features of very well-differentiated adenocarcinoma (VWDA) of the stomach. Methods: The clinicopathological data of 12 cases of VWDA of the stomach were collected retrospectively at the People's Liberation Army Joint Logistics Support Force 989 Hospital (formerly 152 Hospital), Pingdingshan, China, from January 2013 to May 2021. The histological characteristics and immunophenotypes were observed and analyzed with review of current literature. Results: There were 8 males and 4 females with a median age of 63 years (range 47 to 80 years). The tumor involved in the upper part of the stomach in 6 cases, the middle part in 2 cases, and the lower part in 4 cases. The median diameter of the tumors was 17 mm (range 5-65 mm). The tumor cells were similar to absorbent cells, Paneth cells, foveolar epithelial cells, and goblet cells. The cells were arranged in a single layer, and the nuclei were slightly enlarged and located at the base. The nuclei were fusiform to slightly irregular, with loss of nuclear polarity. Early tubular VWDA was found in 9 cases, and the tumor glands were similar to intestinal metaplasia. In two cases the tumors infiltrated into the submucosa. The lesions in the mucosa and submucosa showed the glands with cystic expansion, bending, branching, spiky and abortive growth pattern. One case of early papillary tubular VWDA was confined to the mucosal layer and composed of foveolar-type epithelial cells. There were two cases of advanced papillary tubular VWDA, which consisted of foveolar-type epithelial, pyloric glands, or mucinous neck cells and were associated with intra-lymphatic cancer embolus and lymph node metastases. Background mucosal atrophy and intestinal metaplasia were observed in all cases. Immunohistochemical staining showed intestinal type VWDA in 1 case, mixed gastrointestinal type VWDA in 9 cases, and gastric type VWDA in 2 cases. The Ki-67 proliferation index of 8 cases limited to the mucosa was 40%-70%, 2 cases of infiltration into the submucosa and 2 cases of advanced carcinoma was 10%-25%. All the tumors showed a wild type of p53 protein expression pattern and negative HER2. Adenocarcinoma or high-grade dysplasia was diagnosed on preoperative biopsy in 5 cases, and chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia in 7 cases. The median follow-up time was 28 months (range 12-72 months). No recurrence was found in the 10 patients with early cancer. Of the two patients with advanced carcinoma, one patient had lung metastases and the other died. Conclusions: Gastric VWDA is a rare low-grade malignancy with structural features of highly differentiated adenocarcinoma and extremely low cytological atypia. The diagnostic value of structural abnormality is significantly greater than cytological atypia. The invasive growth of irregular glands in the deep mucosa and submucosa is reliable evidence for diagnosis. The diagnosis of intramucosal VWDA is challenging and very difficult in some biopsy specimens.

Abstract
Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is a widely used surgical treatment option for medial compartmental osteoarthritis with varus deformity. It is important that proper lower limb alignment is achieved. However, there has been no consensus about an optimal alignment in MOWHTO. Most studies suggest that achieving valgus alignment is necessary, and recent studies support slight valgus mechanical alignment of less than 3° of mechanical femorotibial angle. Overcorrection and undercorrection is not recommended for achieving good surgical outcomes. To prevent undercorrection and overcorrection in MOWHTO, the method of placing the weight-bearing line in the target range must be precise. There are several ways to place a weight-bearing line within the target range. While the most important factor for a successful MOWHTO is achieving an ideal mechanical axis correction, there are a few other factors to consider, including joint line obliquity, posterior tibial slope, ligament balancing, and patellar height. Several factors exist that lead to undercorrection and overcorrection. Preoperative amount of varus deformity, lateral hinge fracture, and fixation failure can result in undercorrection, while medial soft tissue laxity and the amount of correction angle and target point beyond hypomochlion can result in overcorrection. This study aimed to review the literature on optimal alignment in MOWHTO and report on the factors to be considered to prevent correction errors and how to achieve an optimal alignment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During high tibial osteotomy (HTO), the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) is cut or released at any degree to expose the osteotomy site and achieve the targeted alignment correction according to the surgeon's preference. However, it is still unclear whether transection of sMCL increases valgus laxity. PURPOSE We aimed to assess the outcomes and safety of sMCL transection, especially focusing on iatrogenic valgus instability. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Seventy-two patients (89 knees) who underwent medial open wedge HTO (MOWHTO) with transection of the sMCL between October 2013 and September 2018 were retrospectively investigated. Clinical evaluations, including the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and Tegner and Lysholm scores, were performed preoperatively and at 2 years postoperatively. The radiographic parameters hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle, joint line convergence angle on standing radiographs (standing JLCA), and weightbearing line (WBL) ratio were assessed preoperatively and at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. To evaluate valgus laxity, we assessed the valgus JLCA and medial joint opening (MJO) at the aforementioned time points using valgus stress radiographs. RESULTS All clinical results at the 2-year follow-up were significantly improved compared with those obtained at the preoperative assessment (P < .001). The postoperative HKA angle significantly differed from the preoperative one, and no significant valgus progression was observed during follow-up (preoperative, 8.5°± 2.7°; 3 months, -3.5°± 2.0°; 6 months, -3.2°± 2.3°; 1 year, -3.1°± 2.3°; 2 years, -2.9°± 2.5°; P < .001) The mean WBL ratio was 62.5% ± 9.0% at 2 years postoperatively. The postoperative valgus JLCA at all follow-up points did not significantly change compared with the preoperative valgus JLCA (preoperative, -0.1°± 2.1°; 3 months, -0.2°± 2.4°; 6 months, -0.1°± 2.5°; 1 year, 0.1°± 2.5°; 2 years, 0.2°± 2.2°) The postoperative MJO at all follow-up points did not significantly change compared with the preoperative MJO (preoperative, 7.1 ± 1.7 mm; 3 months, 7.0 ± 1.7 mm; 6 months, 6.9 ± 1.9 mm; 1 year, 6.7 ± 1.8 mm; 2 years, 6.8 ± 1.8 mm). CONCLUSION Transection of the sMCL during MOWHTO does not increase valgus laxity and could yield desirable clinical and radiographic results.

Abstract
Direct energy deposition (DED) is a newly developed 3D metal printing technique that can be utilized on a porous surface coating of joint implants, however there is still a lack of studies on what advantages DED has over conventional techniques. We conducted a systematic mechanical and biological comparative study of porous coatings prepared using the DED method and other commercially available technologies including titanium plasma spray (TPS), and powder bed fusion (PBF). DED showed higher porosity surface (48.54%) than TPS (21.4%) and PBF (35.91%) with comparable fatigue cycle. At initial cell adhesion, cells on DED and PBF surface appeared to spread well with distinct actin stress fibers through immunofluorescence study. It means that the osteoblasts bind more strongly to the DED and PBF surface. Also, DED surface showed higher cell proliferation (1.27 times higher than TPS and PBF) and osteoblast cell activity (1.28 times higher than PBF) for 2 weeks culture in vitro test. In addition, DED surface showed better bone to implant contact and new bone formation than TPS in in vivo study. DED surface also showed consistently good osseointegration performance throughout the early and late period of osseointegration. Collectively, these results show that the DED coating method is an innovative technology that can be utilized to make cementless joint implants.

Abstract
Background: Previous studies have suggested that increased mechanical stress due to acute
graft bending angle (GBA) is associated with tunnel widening and graft
failure after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Few studies
have compared the GBA between the outside-in (OI) and the transportal (TP)
techniques. Purpose: To evaluate the influence of GBA on clinical outcomes and tunnel widening
after ACL reconstruction with OI versus TP technique. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Included in the study were 56 patients who underwent double-bundle ACL
reconstruction (n = 28 in the OI group and n = 28 in the TP group). Clinical
outcomes (Lysholm, International Knee Documentation Committee, Tegner score,
and knee laxity) 1 year postoperatively were evaluated. Computed tomography
scans at 5 days and 1 year postoperatively were used for imaging
measurements, and the femoral tunnel was divided into the proximal third,
middle, and aperture sections. The GBA and cross-sectional area (CSA) were
measured using image analysis software and were compared between groups. A
correlation analysis was performed to determine if the GBA affected clinical
outcomes or tunnel widening. Results: No significant difference was observed in clinical outcomes between the
groups. The GBA of both the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral bundles
were more acute in the OI group compared with the TP group
(P < .05). The CSA at the AM tunnel aperture
increased significantly in the OI group (84.2% ± 64.3%) compared with the TP
group (51.4% ± 36.7%) (P = .04). However, there were no
differences in the other sections. In the Pearson correlation test, GBA was
not correlated with tunnel widening or clinical outcomes. Conclusion: Regardless of technique, the GBA did not have a significant influence on
tunnel widening or clinical outcomes. Considering a wider AM tunnel
aperture, a more proximal and posterior AM tunnel position might be
appropriate with the OI technique.

Abstract
Background: Soft tissue laxity around the knee joint has been recognized as a crucial factor affecting correction error during medial open-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy (MOWPTO). Medial laxity in particular, which represents the changes in joint-line convergence angle (JLCA), affects soft tissue correction. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify medial laxity and develop a preoperative planning method that considers medial laxity. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 139 knees in 117 patients who underwent navigation-assisted MOWPTO from January 2014 to July 2019 for symptomatic medial compartment osteoarthritis with varus alignment >5°. We compared the results of 2 preoperative planning methods: conventional Miniaci (n = 47) and latent medial laxity reduction (LMLR) (n = 92). We evaluated the incidence of undercorrection, acceptable correction, and overcorrection. The radiologic parameters were analyzed using multiple linear regression with a stepwise selection model to establish an equation for the optimal preoperative planning method. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of intraobserver, interobserver, and intermethod reliability were calculated. Results: The Miniaci method showed a higher incidence of overcorrection (55.3%) than the LMLR method (22.8%) at postoperative 6 months (P = .0006). Multiple linear regression with a stepwise selection model revealed a high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.888) for the following equation: Adjusted planned correction angle = 0.596 + 0.891 × Target correction angle – 0.255 × ΔJLCAvalgus. Upon simplification, the following equation showed the highest intermethod ICC value (0.991): Target correction angle – ⅓ΔJLCAvalgus, while the Miniaci method showed a relatively low ICC value of 0.875. Conclusion: There was a risk of overcorrection after MOWPTO using the conventional Miniaci method. An equation that considers medial laxity may help during preoperative planning for optimal correction during MOWPTO.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Blood-borne cell-free nucleic acids are increasingly emerging as significant non-invasive adjuncts to current methods of disease status evaluation in cancer patients. In this study, we sought to examine whether significant differences exist in the plasma transcriptomic profile of advanced melanoma patients with a high disease burden compared to patients with therapeutic response.
Method
Plasma circulating cell-free messenger ribonucleic acid (ccfmRNA) was extracted from twenty patients with stage IV melanoma receiving immunotherapy. Pathway focused gene expression analysis was performed. Patients were assessed with paired blood sample collection and CT scan assessments at baseline and at 3 months follow up. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1) was used for tumour burden estimation.
Results
In stage IV melanoma patients, CCL5, GZMB and MYD88 genes were significantly over-expressed (p < 0.05 versus healthy controls). In patients with high disease burden or progressive disease, CCL18, CCR1, CCR4, CD274, CSF2, and GBP1 genes were significantly over-expressed (p < 0.05 versus patients with therapeutic response). Finally, in stage IV melanoma patients with brain metastases, CCL18, CCR1, CCR4, CD274, CSF2, EGF, GBP1, and PTGS2 genes were significantly over-expressed (p < 0.05, versus patients without brain metastasis).
Conclusions
Significant differences were observed in the plasma transcriptomic profile between the various melanoma patient groups, and we postulate that these differences may be exploited to identify novel therapeutic targets or biomarkers relevant to melanoma. CCL4 and CCL5 are prognostic in melanoma, both genes had significantly higher expressions in low disease burden patients compared to patients with a high disease burden.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Research into the potential utility of plasma-derived circulating-cell-free nucleic acids as non-invasive adjuncts to radiological imaging has been occasioned by the invasive nature of brain tumour biopsy. Circulating-cell-free messenger RNAs are short fragments of RNA present in blood. The objective of this study was to determine whether significant differences exist in the plasma transcriptomic profile of glioma patients relative to differences in their tumour characteristics, and also whether any observed differences were representative of synchronously obtained glioma samples and TCGA glioma derived RNA.
Method
Blood samples were collected from twenty-nine patients prior to tumour resection. Plasma-ccfmRNA and glioma derived RNA were extracted and profiled.
Results
BCL2L1, CXCL5, GZMB, HLA-A, HLA-C, IRF1, MYD88, TGFB1, TLR2, and TP53 genes were significantly over-expressed in glioma (high-grade-glioma-HGG and low-grade-glioma-LGG) patients (p < 0.05, versus control). BCL2L1, GZMB and HLA-A genes were significantly over-expressed in HGG patients (p < 0.05, versus LGG patients). There was positive correlation between the magnitude of fold change of differentially expressed genes in plasma and glioma derived RNA (Spearman r = 0.6344, n = 14, p = 0.017), and with the mean FPKM of TCGA glioma derived RNA samples (Spearman r = 0.4614, n = 19, p = 0.047). There was positive correlation between glioma radiographic tumour burden and the magnitude of fold change of CSF3 gene (r = 0.9813, n = 20, p < 0.001).
Conclusions
We identified significant differential expression of genes involved in cancer inflammation and immunity among patients with different glioma grades, and we identified positive correlation between the plasma transcriptomic profile and tumour samples, and with TCGA glioma derived RNA.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the time and characteristics of screen exposure, to analyze the risk factors affecting screen exposure in children aged 3 years and younger, and to provide scientific basis for the intervention of screen exposure in children. Methods: The data were collected by convenience sampling from 317 children for routine examination aged 0-36 months who visited the Department of Child Healthcare, Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from December 2019 to December 2020. Self-designed questionnaires of the screen exposure were completed by the parents. The basic information, home nurture environment and screen exposure conditions were investigated. Children <18 months of age who used electronic devices and 18-36 months of age who spent more than 1 h/d on electronic devices were defined as with screen exposure. The differences between <18 and 18-36 months of age were compared by rank sum test. Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the association between screen exposure and potential influential factors. Results: Among 317 children, 209 were boys and 108 girls, aged (28±10) months. There were 117 patients aged <18 months and 200 patients aged 18-36 months. Screen exposure time was 0.3 (0, 1.0) h/d and 1.2 (0.6, 2.0) h/d in children aged <18 months and aged 18-36 months, respectively (Z=-6.770, P<0.01). The proportion of screen exposure was 25.6% (30/117) and 49.0% (98/200) in two age groups, respectively. Logistic regression analysis disclosed that not being the first child (OR=3.81, 95%CI: 1.13-12.77, P=0.030), caregivers spending >1 h/d on electronic devices in front of their children (OR=7.39, 95%CI: 2.24-24.46, P=0.001), caregivers believing that screen exposure can promote early childhood development (OR=4.14, 95%CI: 1.26-13.52, P=0.019) were risk factors for children's screen exposure in <18 months of age. Caregivers spending >1 h/d on electronic devices in front of their children (OR=3.29, 95%CI: 1.78-6.08, P<0.01) was risk factor for children's screen exposure in 18-36 months of age. Mothers with bachelor's or higher degree (OR=0.19, 95%CI: 0.05-0.66, P=0.009; OR=0.35, 95%CI: 0.19-0.66, P=0.001), no television in living room (OR=0.11, 95%CI: 0.03-0.42, P=0.001; OR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.21-0.98, P=0.045) were protective factors for children's screen exposure in children <18 months and 18-36 months of age. Conclusions: Excessive screen exposure is common among children aged 3 years and younger. The exposure time increases with age, and is affected by several factors.

Abstract
To investigate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) in treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). A total of 12 PHPT patients with parathyroid adenoma were treated with MWA in Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine Affiliated Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from May 2019 to February 2021. The patients were followed up once every 3 months for 3-12 months. Levels of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium and phosphorus were detected before and 20 min, 4h and 1day after ablation, and during follow-up period. The volume and volume reduction rate of parathyroid lesion were compared before the treatment and at the end of follow-up. The technical and clinical success of MWA were assessed as well. At the end of follow-up, median serum PTH [66.60 (42.21,80.03) ng/L vs.169.90 (89.01,396.50) ng/L] and calcium [2.39 (2.32,2.49) mmol/L vs. 2.75 (2.57,2.96) mmol/L] levels in 12 patients decreased significantly (all P<0.05). A complete response in terms of PTH and calcium levels was achieved in 6 of the 12 patients, while 4 of the patients had slightly elevated PTH levels just above the upper limit of normal reference range, and 2 of the patients remained abnormal PTH and calcium levels. The clinical cure rate was 50%. The volumes of all lesion after ablation were significantly decreased (P<0.05), with the technical success rate reaching 92.3%. No serious complications were observed. Ultrasound-guided MWA, thus, is safe and effective in the treatment of PHPT.

Abstract
Background The study investigated whether allogeneic human umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs (hUCB-MSCs) could be safely used without treatment-related adverse events, reducing tunnel enlargement, and improve clinical results in human anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods Thirty patients were enrolled consecutively. They were divided into three groups by randomization. In the negative control group, ACL reconstruction surgery without additional treatment was performed. In the experimental group, a hUCB-MSC and hyaluronic acid mixture was applied to the tendon-bone interface of the femoral tunnels during ACL reconstruction surgery. In the positive control group, only hyaluronic acid was applied. Finally, 27 patients were analyzed after the exclusion of three patients. The incidence of treatment-related adverse events, clinical outcomes, including second-look arthroscopic findings, and the amount of tunnel enlargement, were evaluated. Results There were no treatment-related adverse events in the treatment groups. Tunnel enlargement in the experimental group (579.74 ± 389.85 mm3) was not significantly different from those in the negative (641.97 ± 455.84 mm3) and positive control (421.96 ± 274.83 mm3) groups (p = 0.6468). There were no significant differences between the groups in clinical outcomes such as KT-2000 measurement (p = 0.793), pivot shift test (p = 0.9245), International Knee Documentation Committee subjective score (p = 0.9195), Tegner activity level (p = 0.9927), and second-look arthroscopic findings (synovial coverage of the graft, p = 0.7984; condition of the graft, p = 0.8402). Conclusions Allogeneic hUCB-MSCs were used safely for ACL reconstruction without treatment-related adverse event in a 2-year follow-up. However, our study did not suggest any evidence to show clinical advantage such as the prevention of tunnel enlargement postoperatively and a decrease in knee laxity or improvement of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the related mechanisms of biological root resorption in decidual teeth by studying the biological effect of simulated occlusal force on the periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSC) at different stages of root absorption. Methods: According to the tooth type and root absorption degree, healthy retained deciduous incisors and healthy first premolars that needed to be removed for orthodontic treatment were collected and divided into three groups with six teeth in each group: the deciduous unabsorbed group (UN group), the absorbed group (R group) and the permanent teeth group (P group). PDLSC was isolated from periodontal ligament and cultured. PDLSC of three groups were loaded with dynamic pressure of 0-45, 0-90, 0-135, 0-180, 0-225 and 0-270 kPa, respectively. The proliferation ability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) technique on day 1 to day 7, respectively. The apoptosis levels of PDLSC after loading with dynamic pressure of 0-45, 0-90, 0-135, 0-180 and 0-225 kPa were observed by the flow cytometry. The changes of microfilaments were observed by fibrous actin (F-actin) staining after the cytokeleton was subjected to dynamic pressure of 0-90 kPa. Results: PDLSC of three groups exhibited various proliferation abilities to dynamic pressure. The A values in the UN group and R group were significantly higher than those in the P group and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the UN group and the R group (P>0.05). The A values of PDLSC in UN group and R group under dynamic pressures of 0-45, 0-90, 0-135 and 0-180 kPa had no statistical significance compared with the control group unloading dynamic pressure (P>0.05). However, under 0-225 and 0-270 kPa dynamic pressures, the A values at the day 3 to day 7 were statistically significant (P<0.05). The A values of PDLSC in P group under 0-45, 0-90, 0-135, 0-180 and 0-225 kPa dynamic pressures for 1 to 7 days were no statistically significant difference compared with the control group (P>0.05). The A value in P group under the 0-270 kPa was statistically significant only on day 3 (1.386±0.131) and day 5 to day 7 (1.728±0.226, 2.029±0.168 and 2.263±0.210, respectively)(P<0.05). The result of apoptosis showed that the A values of PDLSC in UN group, R group and P group were significantly increased under 0-90, 0-135, 0-180 kPa and above dynamic pressures, respectively (P<0.05) compared with the control group unloading dynamic pressure. Under 0-90 kPa dynamic pressure, F-actin fluorescence staining samples in three groups all showed green filaments which were arranged along the long axis of the cells in the R group and the P group, while some fibers in the UN group were closely arranged and promoted stress fiber assembly. Conclusions: The biological characteristics of PDLSC at different root absorption stages were changed when they were stimulated by mechanical stress, and PDLSC of the deciduous teeth at the root unabsorption stage were more sensitive to mechanical stress stimulation.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to classify the discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) according to the signal and shape in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to provide information not only in diagnosis but also in treatment. Materials and Methods We reviewed 162 cases who diagnosed with DLM by MRI and underwent arthroscopic procedures from April 2010 to March 2018. Three observers reviewed MRI findings of all cases and predicted arthroscopic tear using three MRI criteria (criterion 1,2 and 3). Among three criteria, the criterion that most accurately predicts arthroscopic tear was selected. Using this criterion, the cases of predicted tear were named group 1. In addition, group 1 was divided into three subgroups (group 1a, 1b and 1c) by deformation or displacement on MRI and arthroscopic type of tear and procedures were analyzed according to these subgroups. Results The intra-meniscal signal change itself (criterion 3) on MRI showed the highest agreement with the arthroscopic tear. No meniscal deformation and displacement on MRI (group 1a) showed no specific type of tear and more cases of meniscal saucerization. The meniscal deformation on MRI (group 1b) showed more simple horizontal tears and more cases of meniscal saucerization. The meniscal displacement on MRI (group 1c) showed more peripheral tears and more cases of meniscal repair and subtotal meniscectomy. Comparing arthroscopic type of tear and type of arthroscopic procedure between three subgroups, there were significant differences in three groups (P < .05). Conclusions Intra-meniscal signal change itself on MRI is the most accurate finding to predict arthroscopic tear in symptomatic DLM. In addition, subgroup analysis by deformation or displacement on MRI is helpful to predict the type of arthroscopic tear and procedures.

Abstract
Objective: To study the characteristics and risk factors of psychological and behavioral problems of children and adolescents of different ages and genders in long-term home-schooling during the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic. Further, to provide scientific basis for more targeted psychological intervention and coping strategies in the future. Methods: A cross-sectional survey using an online questionnaire was conducted on students aged 6-16 years old in five representative cities of North (Beijing), East (Shanghai), West (Chongqing), South (Guangzhou) and Middle (Wuhan) in China. In this study, the social behavior and psychological abnormalities which was defined as the positive of any dimension were investigated in multiple dimensions during long-term home-schooling. The influencing factors of psycho-behavioral problems were analyzed by Logistic regression, and the confounding factors were corrected with graded multivariable adjustment. Results: A total of 6 906 valid questionnaires were collected including 3 592 boys and 3 314 girls, of whom 3 626 were children (6-11 years old) and 3 280 were adolescents (12-16 years old). The positive detection rate of psychosocial-behavioral problems were 13.0% (900/6 906) totally, 9.6% (344/3 592) in boys and 16.8% (556/3 314) in girls respectively, and 7.3%(142/1 946) in boys aged 6-11, 14.0%(235/1 680) in girls aged 6-11, 12.3%(202/1 646) in boys aged 12-16, 19.6%(321/1 634) in girls aged 12-16 respectively. There were significant differences between the psychological problems group and the non-psychological problems group in gender, parent-offspring conflict, number of close friends, family income change, sedentary time, homework time, screen exposure time, physical activity, dietary problems (χ²=78.851, 285.264, 52.839, 26.284, 22.778, 11.024, 10.688, 36.814, 70.982, all P<0.01). The most common symptoms in boys aged 6-11 years were compulsive activity, schizoid and depression, in girls aged 6-11 years were schizoid/compulsive activity, hyperactivity and social withdrawal, in boys aged 12-16 years were hyperactivity, compulsive activity and aggressive behavior, and in girls aged 12-16 years were schizoid, anxiety/compulsive activity and depression/withdrawal, respectively. After graded multivariable adjustment, besides the common risk factors, homework time and online study time were the risk factors of 6-11 years old groups [boys OR(95%CI): 1.750 (1.32-2.32), 1.214(1.00-1.47), girls: 1.579(1.25-1.99), 1.222(1.05-1.42), all P<0.05], videogames time were the risk factors of 12-16 years old groups [ boys: 2.237 (1.60-3.13), girls: 1.272 (1.00-1.61), all P<0.05]. Conclusions: Some children and adolescents may have psychological and behavioral problems during long-term home-schooling. The psychological and behavioral manifestations differed in age and gender subgroups, which deserve special attention in each subgroups. Schools, families and specialists should actively provide precise psychological support and comprehensive intervention strategies according to special features and risk factors.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy and pregnancy outcomes of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) based fertility-sparing re-treatment in women with endometrial carcinoma (EC) and atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) who failed with oral progestin therapy. Methods: Forty cases with EC or AEH who failed to respond to oral progestin were included from January 2012 to December 2020 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Combination of GnRH-a with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (group GLI: a subcutaneous injection of GnRH-a every 4 weeks and LNG-IUS insertion constantly) or the combination of GnRH-a with aromatase inhibitor (group GAI: a subcutaneous injection of GnRH-a every 4 weeks and oral letrozole 2.5 mg, daily) were used for these patients. Histological evaluation were performed at the end of each course (every 3-4 months) by hysteroscopy and curettage. After the complete remission (CR), all patients were followed up regularly. Results: (1) Clinical characteristics:among the 40 patients with EC or AEH, the median age at diagnosis was 31 years (range: 22-40 years) and the median body mass index was 24.7 kg/m2 (range: 18.9-39.5 kg/m2). (2) Efficacy of fertility-sparing re-treatment: 37 (92%, 37/40) patients achieved CR, 6 (6/7) in AEH and 31 (94%, 31/33) in EC patients. The CR rate was 93% (26/28) and 11/12 in group GLI and GAI, respectively. The median time to CR was 5 months (range: 3-12 months). At the end of the first therapy course, the CR rates in AEH and EC were 5/7 and 42% (14/33), at the second course, the CR rates were 6/7 and 82% (27/33), respectively. (3) Recurrence: after 25 months of median follow-up duration (range: 10-75 months), 8 (22%, 8/37) women developed recurrence, 1/6 in AEH and 7 (23%, 7/31) in EC patients, with the median recurrence time of 18 months (range: 9-26 months). Among them, two cases who had completed childbirth chose to receive hysterectomy directly. Six patients met the criteria of fertility-preserving therapy and received conservative treatment again and 5 (5/6) of them achieved CR. (4) Pregnancy: of the 37 patients with CR, 33 desired to conceive. Ten women attempted to get pregnancy spontaneously and 23 cases with assisted reproductive technology. Fourteen (42%, 14/33) patients became pregnant, including 9 (27%, 9/33) live births, 3 (9%, 3/33) missed abortions, and 2 (6%, 2/33) miscarriages at the second trimester. Conclusions: GnRH-a based fertility-sparing re-treatment in AEH or EC patients who failed with oral progestin therapy achieved good treatment effect and reproductive outcomes. It is an encouraging alternative regime for patients who failed with oral progestin therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether the femoral tunnel position remains in an anatomical footprint after tunnel widening and shifting. METHODS Patients who underwent unilateral double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring autograft and performed computed tomography scan evaluation at the time of 5 days and 1 year postoperatively were included in this retrospective cohort study. Three-dimensional models of the femur and femoral tunnels were reconstructed from computed tomography scan data. The location of the tunnel center and tunnel margins in the anatomical coordinate system, and the mean shifting distance of tunnel center and margin were measured with image analysis software during the period. The change of tunnel center location in Bernard quadrant was confirmed if the tunnel center remained within the boundaries of anatomical position after tunnel widening. RESULTS A total of 56 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria. The mean shifting distance of AM and PL tunnel centers were 1.7 ± 0.9 mm and 1.6 ± 0.6 mm. The Tunnel margin of the anteromedial (AM) and posteromedial (PL) tunnels were shifted to 2.5 ± 1.3 mm and 2.6 ± 1.4 mm in the anterior direction, and 1.4 ± 0.9 mm and 1.0 ± 0.7 mm in the distal direction, respectively. Among the anatomical located tunnel, 97% (32/33) and 87.1% (27/31) of AM and PL tunnel centers remained in a range of anatomical footprint. The tunnel center was shifted from the anatomical position into a nonanatomical position in 3% (1/33) of the AM tunnel and 12.9% (4/31) of PL tunnel after tunnel widening. The tunnel location which shifted nonanatomically were relatively anterior and distal position. CONCLUSIONS Tunnel widening shifts the tunnel position to the anterior and distal direction, which could change the initial tunnel position. Nevertheless, the majority of tunnel positions remained in the anatomical position after tunnel widening and shifting. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Blood-borne cell-free nucleic acids are increasingly emerging as significant non-invasive adjuncts to current methods of disease status evaluation in cancer patients. In this study, we sought to examine whether significant differences exist in the plasma transcriptomic profile of advanced melanoma patients with a high disease burden compared to patients with therapeutic response.
Method
Plasma circulating cell-free messenger ribonucleic acid (ccfmRNA) was extracted from twenty patients with stage IV melanoma receiving immunotherapy. Pathway focused gene expression analysis was performed. Patients were assessed with paired blood sample collection and CT scan assessments at baseline and at 3 months follow up. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1) was used for tumour burden estimation.
Result
In stage IV melanoma patients, CCL5, GZMB and MYD88 genes were significantly over-expressed (P < 0.05 versus healthy controls). In patients with high disease burden or progressive disease, CCL18, CCR1, CCR4, CD274, CSF2, and GBP1 genes were significantly over-expressed (P < 0.05 versus patients with therapeutic response). Finally, in stage IV melanoma patients with brain metastases, CCL18, CCR1, CCR4, CD274, CSF2, EGF, GBP1, and PTGS2 genes were significantly over-expressed (P < 0.05, versus patients without brain metastasis).
Conclusion
Significant differences were observed in the plasma transcriptomic profile between the various melanoma patient groups, and we postulate that these differences may be exploited to identify novel therapeutic targets or biomarkers relevant to melanoma. CCL4 and CCL5 are prognostic in melanoma, both genes had significantly higher expressions in low disease burden patients compared to patients with a high disease burden.
Take-home Message
CCL4 and CCL5 ccfmRNA transcripts are prognostic in melanoma. High expression of both genes is favourable in melanoma patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Research into the potential utility of plasma-derived circulating cell-free nucleic acids as non-invasive adjuncts to radiological imaging has been occasioned by the invasive nature of brain tumour biopsy. Circulating-cell-free messenger RNAs are short fragments of RNA present in blood. The objective of this study was to determine whether significant differences exist in the plasma transcriptomic profile of glioma patients relative to differences in their tumour characteristics, and also whether any observed differences were representative of synchronously obtained glioma samples and TCGA glioma derived RNA.
Method
Blood samples were collected from twenty-nine patients prior to tumour resection. Plasma ccfmRNA and glioma derived RNA were extracted and profiled.
Result
BCL2L1, CXCL5, GZMB, HLA-A, HLA-C, IRF1, MYD88, TGFB1, TLR2, and TP53 genes were significantly over-expressed in glioma (high-grade-glioma-HGG and low-grade-glioma-LGG) patients (P < 0.05, versus control). BCL2L1, GZMB and HLA-A genes were significantly over-expressed in HGG patients (P < 0.05, versus LGG patients). There was positive correlation between the magnitude of fold change of differentially expressed genes in plasma and glioma derived RNA (Spearman r = 0.6344, n = 14, P = 0.017), and with the mean FPKM of TCGA glioma derived RNA samples (Spearman r = 0.4614, n = 19, P = 0.047). There was positive correlation between glioma radiographic tumour burden and the magnitude of fold change of CSF3 gene (r = 0.9813, n = 20, P < 0.001).
Conclusion
We identified significant differential expression of genes involved in cancer inflammation and immunity among patients with different glioma grades, and we identified positive correlation between the plasma transcriptomic profile and tumour samples, and with TCGA glioma derived RNA.
Take-home Message
The plasma transcriptomic profile of glioma patients appears to be representative of synchronously obtained glioma samples.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the utility of whole-exome sequencing (WES) in early diagnosis for children with language delay/disorder. Methods: Children with language delay/disorder who were admitted to the Department of Health Care, Children's Hospital Affiliated to the Capital Pediatric Institute from January 2019 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on informed consent, the peripheral blood of the children and their parents was collected for WES. Combining the clinical phenotypes of the children, the candidate variants, including single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy number variations (CNVs), were selected for validation and family segregation analysis using Sanger sequencing, real-time PCR or CNV-Seq. The pathogenicity of variants was evaluated based on ACMG guideline following with finial genetic diagnosis. Based on whether genetic diagnosis was achieved or not, 125 children with comprehensive examination of the Children Neuropsychological and Behavioral Scale(CNBS-R2016) were sub-grouped (positive/negative group), and the total scores and the detailed scores of five developmental sections (gross motor, fine motor, adaptive ability, language and social behavior ability) between two subgroups were compared. Results: A total of 165 children with language delay/disorder were recruited, including 109 males and 56 females. The ratio of boys to girls was 1.95∶1.The age of the children was (3.2±1.2) years old, the median age was 3.0 years. 45 children carry disease-related pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants, including 36 SNVs and 9 CNVs. The genetic diagnostic yield of this cohort was 27.3% (45/165). The inheritance analysis for core family members showed de novo variant accounted for 86% of genetic diagnosis (31/36). The positive diagnosis rate in girls was 45% (25/56), which was significantly higher than that in boys (18.3%, 20/109, χ²=12.171, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of positive diagnosis among all age groups (χ²=4.349, P>0.05). Interestingly, the scores of gross motors of positive group were significantly lower than that of negative group (61.5 vs. 69.4, t=-2.610, P<0.05). Otherwise, no significant difference was seen between two groups(t=-0.933, -1.298, -0.114, -0.214, all P>0.05). Conclusions: Language delay/disorder has complex genetic heterogeneity. WES has important application value in early etiological diagnosis for children with language delay/disorder.

Abstract
The function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) has been revealed in injury caused by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), however, its association with Sevoflurane (Sev), an anesthetic effective for regulating inflammation and oxidative stress, is not yet clear in I/R injury. The aim of this study was to functionally validate and elucidate the mechanism-of-action for Sev-mediated NEAT1 in myocardial I/R injury. Firstly, reduced NEAT1 was revealed in myocardial I/R injured mice treated with Sev. Moreover, restoration of NEAT1 could repress the alleviating role of Sev in cardiac function, infarct size and myocardial apoptosis in mice, while miR-140 was remarkably enhanced in myocardial tissues from mice treated with Sev. Furthermore, miR-140 was suggested and authenticated as a downstream biomolecule of NEAT1 with the help of a bioinformatics tool. Interestingly, miR-140 inhibitor played the same role as NEAT1 overexpression on the cardiac function, infarct size and apoptosis of mice. Finally, it was manifested that RhoA was a putative target of miR-140, which functioned importantly in the Sev/miR-140-mediated myocardial I/R injury. All in all, NEAT1 knockdown contributed to Sev-mediated myocardial I/R injury alleviation via the miR-140/RhoA axis.

Abstract
Medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy is an established treatment option for relatively young patients with medial-compartment osteoarthritis and varus deformity. This procedure is mainly focused on correcting coronal malalignment; however, it inevitably affects the posterior tibial slope (PTS) in the sagittal plane. The alteration of the PTS significantly affects knee stability and kinematics. When medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy is performed, incomplete osteotomy of the posterior cortex could lead to a cortical hinge shift from the lateral side to the posterolateral side, which indicates the alteration of the axial hinge axis. In this case, there is a risk of an increasing PTS. In addition, incomplete posterior cortex osteotomy can lead to a lateral hinge fracture.
