Introduction

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), with parathyroid hormone (PTH) overproduction leading to symptoms such as bone pain, pruritus, and fatigue. These symptoms diminish the already compromised quality of life (QoL) in ESRD patients. Parathyroidectomy (PTX) is offered to those who fail medical management, but its association with QoL is not addressed in treatment guidelines. This systematic review examines QoL in SHPT patients after PTX.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Databases were searched from 2014 to 2024 using terms including ESRD, chronic kidney disease, QoL, PTX, and SHPT. Two reviewers screened titles, abstracts, and full texts. The primary outcome was change in QoL as assessed by validated questionnaires.

Results

Of 6234 articles reviewed, 10 (0.16%) studies met the inclusion criteria. There were 6 case series, 2 prospective cohort studies, 1 case control study, and 1 retrospective cohort study. Across these, 575 patients underwent PTX for symptomatic SHPT. QoL was assessed using Short-Form Health Survey (5 studies), Kidney disease quality of Life Instrument (4), parathyroidectomy assessment of symptoms(2), visual analog scale(2), and median symptom index score(1). All studies reported higher physical QoL scores after PTX compared to baseline. Improvement in mental health symptoms was variable.

Conclusions

PTX in patients with SHPT is associated with improved physical functioning and fewer mental health–related symptoms, with higher overall QoL. QoL and symptom burden may represent important factors in the decision to pursue surgical management for SHPT when medical management is not adequate.
继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进(SHPT)是终末期肾病(ESRD)的常见并发症,甲状旁腺激素(PTH)分泌过多可导致骨痛、瘙痒和疲劳等症状。这些症状降低了ESRD患者已经受损的生活质量(QoL)。甲状旁腺切除术(PTX)是提供给那些医疗管理失败,但其与生活质量的关系没有解决在治疗指南。本系统综述探讨了PTX治疗后SHPT患者的生活质量。方法采用系统评价和荟萃分析指南的首选报告项目进行系统评价。数据库检索从2014年到2024年,使用的术语包括ESRD、慢性肾脏疾病、QoL、PTX和SHPT。两位审稿人筛选了题目、摘要和全文。主要结果是通过有效问卷评估生活质量的变化。结果6234篇文献中,10篇(0.16%)研究符合纳入标准。共有6个病例系列研究、2个前瞻性队列研究、1个病例对照研究和1个回顾性队列研究。在这些患者中,有575名患者因症状性SHPT接受了PTX治疗。生活质量的评估采用简短健康调查(5项研究)、肾脏疾病生活质量量表(4项)、甲状旁腺切除术症状评估(2项)、视觉模拟量表(2项)和中位症状指数评分(1项)。所有的研究都报告了PTX后与基线相比更高的身体生活质量评分。心理健康症状的改善是可变的。结论sptx可改善SHPT患者的身体功能,减少精神健康相关症状,提高总体生活质量。当内科治疗不充分时,生活质量和症状负担可能是决定对SHPT进行手术治疗的重要因素。

Introduction

Limb amputation is a challenging decision, and delayed procedures may be associated with higher complication rates. This study compares outcomes between early and late amputation in patients with isolated blunt severe lower limb injuries.

Materials and Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the Trauma Quality Improvement Program (2017-2021), including all ages with isolated severe blunt lower limb injury (Abbreviated Injury Scale ≥ 3) who underwent amputation. Patients were stratified into early (≤48 h) and late (>48 h) amputation groups. The primary outcome was mortality, while secondary outcomes included in-hospital complications, hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, and discharge disposition. Propensity score matching was performed to compare outcomes between groups.

Results

Of 4439 patients included, 1959 cases (44.1%) had early amputation (mean procedure time of 1.25 ± 0.43 d), and 2480 cases (55.9%) had late amputations (mean procedure time of 10.34 ± 9.05 d). After matching (1733 per group), mortality did not differ between groups (P = 0.06). Patients in the early amputation group, compared to the late amputation group, had lower rates of acute kidney injury (2.3% versus 4.6%), osteomyelitis (0.7% versus 1.4%), unplanned intubation (1.2% versus 2.4%), unplanned ICU admission (2.8% versus 5.3%), unplanned return to the operation room (2.5% versus 7.9%), and higher rates of home discharge (30.9% versus 27.5%) (P < 0.05). The hospital and ICU length of stay were significantly lower in the early amputation group compared to the late amputation group (P < 0.001).

Conclusions

Early amputation in serious blunt lower limb injuries was associated with fewer observed complications, shorter hospital and ICU stays, and a higher rate of home discharge compared to late amputation.
肢体截肢是一个具有挑战性的决定,延迟手术可能与较高的并发症发生率相关。本研究比较了孤立性钝性严重下肢损伤患者早期和晚期截肢的结果。材料和方法我们回顾性地回顾了创伤质量改善计划(2017-2021),包括所有年龄的截肢的孤立性严重钝性下肢损伤(简略损伤量表≥3)。将患者分为早期(≤48 h)和晚期(≤48 h)截肢组。主要结局是死亡率,次要结局包括院内并发症、住院和重症监护病房(ICU)住院时间和出院处置。进行倾向评分匹配来比较各组之间的结果。结果4439例患者中,早期截肢1959例(44.1%),平均手术时间为1.25±0.43 d;晚期截肢2480例(55.9%),平均手术时间为10.34±9.05 d。配对后(每组1733例),组间死亡率无差异(P = 0.06)。与晚期截肢组相比,早期截肢组患者的急性肾损伤(2.3%对4.6%)、骨髓炎(0.7%对1.4%)、计划外插管(1.2%对2.4%)、计划外ICU入院(2.8%对5.3%)、计划外返回手术室(2.5%对7.9%)和较高的出院率(30.9%对27.5%)(P < 0.05)。早期截肢组住院时间和ICU住院时间明显低于晚期截肢组(P < 0.001)。结论严重下肢钝性损伤早期截肢比晚期截肢并发症少,住院和ICU时间短,出院率高。

Introduction

A multidisciplinary protocol for the management of esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) was developed with stakeholders from pediatric surgery and neonatology. Introduced in July 2022, this study aims to assess protocol utilization and association with patient outcomes.

Methods

We performed a single-center, retrospective review of neonatal patients who underwent type C EA/TEF repair between 2010 and 2024. Utilization of protocol elements was assessed, as well as clinical outcomes. Preprotocol and postprotocol management and outcomes were compared using logistic regression. A prospective provider survey was administered to assess protocol sustainability and knowledge.

Results

There were 103 patients who underwent type C EA/TEF repair, 87 preprotocol and 16 postprotocol implementation. Thoracoscopic repair was more common postprotocol (68.8% versus 31.0%, P = 0.003). Patients were more likely to receive total parenteral nutrition until full enteral feeds were reached (odds ratio 75.6; 95% confidence interval 4.2, 1445; P = 0.003) and receive enteral feeds within 24 h of surgery when transanastomotic tube was in place (odds ratio 3.71; 95% confidence interval 1.04, 13.27; P = 0.043) postprotocol. There was no significant change in outcomes including anastomotic leak and stricture. Providers could correctly identify 2/3 of the EA/TEF protocol elements and 22% reported receiving education on its contents.

Conclusions

Implementation of an EA/TEF protocol was associated with a 75 times greater likelihood of patients receiving total parenteral nutrition until full feeds were reached and 3.7 times greater likelihood of starting enteral feeds within 24 h of surgery when transanastomotic tube was in place. There was a shift toward thoracoscopic repair of EA/TEF and no change in clinical outcomes including anastomotic leak and stricture. Implementation and knowledge of the protocol faced challenges and provider surveys identified avenues for improving education strategies.
来自儿科外科和新生儿科的利益相关者制定了一项多学科的食管闭锁/气管食管瘘(EA/TEF)治疗方案。该研究于2022年7月推出,旨在评估方案的使用及其与患者预后的关联。方法:我们对2010年至2024年间接受C型EA/TEF修复的新生儿患者进行了单中心回顾性研究。评估方案要素的使用情况以及临床结果。采用逻辑回归比较方案前和方案后的管理和结果。对潜在提供者进行调查,以评估协议的可持续性和知识。结果:103例患者行C型EA/TEF修复,方案前87例,方案后16例。术后胸腔镜修复更为常见(68.8%比31.0%,P = 0.003)。患者接受全肠外营养的可能性更大,直到完全肠内喂养(优势比75.6;95%可信区间4.2,1445;P = 0.003),术后24小时内放置吻合口管后接受肠内喂养的可能性更大(优势比3.71;95%可信区间1.04,13.27;P = 0.043)。吻合口瘘和狭窄等预后无明显变化。提供者可以正确识别2/3的EA/TEF协议元素,22%的人报告接受了有关其内容的教育。结论:实施EA/TEF方案与患者接受全肠外营养的可能性增加75倍,直到达到全喂养的可能性增加3.7倍,在手术后24小时内开始肠内喂养,经吻合口管到位。手术转向胸腔镜下修复EA/TEF,临床结果无变化,包括吻合口漏和狭窄。协议的实施和知识面临挑战,提供者调查确定了改进教育战略的途径。

Introduction

This study aims to evaluate the association between unplanned ICU admission and clinical outcomes in adult and geriatric trauma patients with severe sepsis. Additionally, this study assesses predictors of worsened outcomes in this population.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study analyzed the ACS-TQIP database (2017-2023) to analyze outcomes associated with unplanned ICU admission in adult and geriatric trauma patients (ISS ≥ 15) with severe sepsis. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and secondary outcomes included discharge disposition, ICU-LOS, ventilator-free days, and complications.

Results

In both adult and geriatric patients, unplanned ICU admission was associated with significantly lower in-hospital mortality (aOR: 0.460, 95% CI: 0.346-0.610, P < 0.001, SE: 0.145) (aOR: 0.657, 95% CI: 0.438-0.987, P = 0.043, SE: 0.207) and more ventilator-free days (β = 5.067, 95% CI: 3.981-6.153, P < 0.001, SE: 0.554) (β = 2.402, 95% CI: 0.625-4.180, P = 0.008, SE: 0.905). Advanced age (over 64 years) (aOR: 1.487, 95% CI: 1.140-1.924, P = 0.003, SE: 0.134), ISS over 25 (aOR: 1.487, 95% CI: 1.251-1.768, P < 0.001, SE: 0.088), and having multiple comorbidities (aOR: 1.402, 95% CI: 1.152-1.706, P < 0.001, SE: 0.100) were found to be associated with worse outcomes.

Conclusions

Findings from this national analysis highlighted predictors associated with worsening outcomes in adult and geriatric trauma patients with severe sepsis. Additionally, while unplanned ICU admission was associated with improved outcomes in both adult and geriatric trauma patients with severe sepsis compared to those admitted to hospital floors, its high resource utilization emphasizes the importance of developing targeted care strategies to prevent resource overutilization and clinical deterioration in this patient population.
本研究旨在评估成人和老年创伤合并严重脓毒症患者非计划入住ICU与临床结局的关系。此外,本研究评估了该人群预后恶化的预测因素。方法:本回顾性队列研究分析ACS-TQIP数据库(2017-2023),分析合并严重脓毒症的成人和老年创伤患者(ISS≥15)非计划入住ICU的结局。主要结局是住院死亡率,次要结局包括出院处置、ICU-LOS、无呼吸机天数和并发症。结果:在成人和老年患者中,非计划入住ICU与较低的住院死亡率(aOR: 0.460, 95% CI: 0.346-0.610, P < 0.001, SE: 0.145) (aOR: 0.657, 95% CI: 0.438-0.987, P = 0.043, SE: 0.207)和较长的无呼吸机天数(β = 5.067, 95% CI: 3.981-6.153, P < 0.001, SE: 0.554) (β = 2.402, 95% CI: 0.625-4.180, P = 0.008, SE: 0.905)相关。高龄(超过64岁)(aOR: 1.487, 95% CI: 1.140-1.924, P = 0.003, SE: 0.134)、ISS超过25 (aOR: 1.487, 95% CI: 1.251-1.768, P < 0.001, SE: 0.088)和合并多种并发症(aOR: 1.402, 95% CI: 1.152-1.706, P < 0.001, SE: 0.100)与预后较差相关。结论:这项全国性分析的结果强调了与成人和老年创伤患者严重败血症预后恶化相关的预测因素。此外,虽然与住院相比,非计划ICU住院与成人和老年创伤严重脓毒症患者的预后改善有关,但其高资源利用率强调了制定有针对性的护理策略的重要性,以防止该患者群体的资源过度利用和临床恶化。

Introduction

This study aimed to evaluate outcomes in the surgical management of carotid body tumors (CBTs), assess long-term follow-up, and examine the importance of genetic testing for succinate dehydrogenase genes.

Materials and Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 36 patients who had undergone resection of CBTs at our institution from 2013 to 2024. Data on patient history, symptoms, clinical features, diagnostic procedures, treatment modality, perioperative and late (persistent neurological disability and recurrence rate) complications, histological findings, DNA test, and secretory activity were analyzed.

Results

The average tumor size was 34.1 mm. A familial history of head and neck paragangliomas was present in 7 patients. According to the Shamblin classification, we observed 8/38 (21%) type III, 18/38 (47.4%) type II, and 12/38 (31.6) type I CBTs. Malignancy was present in two patients. No postoperative deaths or strokes occurred. Cranial nerve injury occurred in 8 patients (22.2%). Tumor size greater than 4 cm and Shamblin grade 3 were correlated with cranial nerve complications. The average follow-up period was 112.4 mo (range: 15-169 mo), including yearly clinical evaluations with Doppler carotid ultrasound. During this period, we observed 3 local recurrences and 1 new intrathoracic localization of paraganglioma.

Conclusions

Surgery is recommended for all patients with CBT and fit for open surgery. Early detection of small tumors may improve surgical outcomes and reduce complications.
本研究旨在评估颈动脉体肿瘤(CBTs)手术治疗的结果,评估长期随访,并检查琥珀酸脱氢酶基因检测的重要性。材料和方法:我们回顾性分析了2013年至2024年在我院行cbt切除术的36例患者。分析患者病史、症状、临床特征、诊断程序、治疗方式、围手术期和晚期(持续性神经功能障碍和复发率)并发症、组织学结果、DNA检测和分泌活性等数据。结果:肿瘤平均大小为34.1 mm。7例患者有头颈部副神经节瘤的家族史。根据Shamblin分类,我们观察到8/38(21%)为III型,18/38(47.4%)为II型,12/38(31.6)为I型cbt。2例患者存在恶性肿瘤。无术后死亡或中风发生。颅神经损伤8例(22.2%)。肿瘤大小大于4cm和Shamblin分级3级与脑神经并发症相关。平均随访时间为112.4个月(范围:15-169个月),包括每年多普勒颈动脉超声临床评估。在此期间,我们观察到3例局部复发和1例新的胸内副神经节瘤。结论:所有CBT患者均推荐手术治疗,适合开腹手术。早期发现小肿瘤可以改善手术效果,减少并发症。

Introduction

Shared decision-making (SDM) is widely endorsed in surgical care, yet it is inconsistently applied. A lack of attention to decisional antecedents, including patients’ beliefs, goals, experiences, emotions, and social context, may contribute to this gap, particularly in time-constrained preoperative settings. The current study sought to characterize surgeon perspectives on decisional antecedents and identify opportunities to strengthen SDM within routine surgical workflows.

Methods

In-depth, semistructured interviews were conducted with surgeons at a single academic medical center. Surgeons were identified through departmental faculty lists and invited by email. Interviews were conducted via Zoom, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically in NVivo using an inductive approach. Two team members independently coded transcripts and developed themes through iterative discussion.

Results

Eighteen surgeons from six subspecialties participated. Five themes characterized how surgeons approached SDM in preoperative consultations: (1) variability in patient engagement, (2) role of decisional antecedents, (3) time and cognitive constraints, (4) value of pre-encounter context, and (5) third parties reveal patient values. Surgeons reported that patients differ widely in their readiness, informational needs, prior experiences, and desired involvement, yet this information was often not available to them because routine workflows provided few opportunities to uncover it. Surgeons viewed decisional antecedents and third-party perspectives (e.g., family, caregivers) as central to SDM but reported structural barriers to incorporate these factors during time-limited consultations.

Conclusions

Pre-visit strategies are needed to surface key contextual factors to support SDM within existing surgical workflows.
共享决策(SDM)在外科护理中得到广泛认可,但应用并不一致。缺乏对包括患者信念、目标、经历、情感和社会背景在内的决定性前因的关注,可能导致这种差距,特别是在术前时间有限的情况下。目前的研究旨在描述外科医生对决定前因的看法,并确定在常规手术工作流程中加强SDM的机会。方法:对单一学术医疗中心的外科医生进行深度、半结构化访谈。外科医生通过院系教员名单确定,并通过电子邮件邀请。访谈通过Zoom进行,逐字转录,并在NVivo中使用归纳方法进行主题分析。两名团队成员独立编码文本,并通过迭代讨论开发主题。结果:来自6个亚专科的18名外科医生参与了调查。五个主题描述了外科医生如何在术前咨询中进行SDM:(1)患者参与的可变性,(2)决策前因的作用,(3)时间和认知约束,(4)相遇前情境的价值,以及(5)第三方揭示患者价值。外科医生报告说,患者在准备情况、信息需求、先前经验和期望参与方面差异很大,但由于常规工作流程提供的机会很少,他们通常无法获得这些信息。外科医生认为决定性的前因和第三方观点(如家庭、护理人员)是SDM的核心,但在时间有限的咨询中,报告了将这些因素纳入其中的结构性障碍。结论:在现有的外科工作流程中,需要制定会诊前策略,以显示关键的背景因素,以支持SDM。

Introduction

Surgical treatment of noncolorectal, non-neuroendocrine liver metastases (NCNNLM) remains unclear. This nationwide study evaluated the outcome of patients with NCNNLM, evaluated at multidisciplinary team conferences and included in the Danish Liver Cancer Group Database, according to surgery or no surgery.

Methods

We identified all patients with NCNNLM evaluated at multidisciplinary team conferences at the four specialized centers in Denmark between October 2013 and November 2023. Patient characteristics and survival were analyzed using descriptive statistics and illustrated by Kaplan–Meier curves, respectively. Prognostic factors were assessed with logistic regression, Cox regression, and accelerated failure time models.

Results

605 patients were included in the analyses. The median follow-up was 20 mo, none were lost to follow-up. The median age of patients was 64 y, with a female predominance (58%). Most patients (93%) had World Health Organization (WHO) performance status 0-1. The overall 5-y survival rate was 29%, with a median survival of 27 mo. Surgery was performed in 307 patients (51%). Surgical intervention was associated with better survival compared with nonsurgical treatment (median survival 39 versus 13 mo, P < 0.05). Poor prognostic factors included age exceeding 64 y (hazard ratio = 1.022, P < 0.0001) and WHO performance status 2-4 (odds ratio 6.89, P = 0.007).

Conclusions

NCNNLM carries a poor prognosis. Surgery of liver metastasis is associated with improved survival with age, WHO performance status, and primary cancer type serving as important prognostic factors. However, from our study we could not establish a causal effect of surgery and confounding by indication is likely.
非结直肠、非神经内分泌肝转移(NCNNLM)的手术治疗尚不清楚。这项全国性的研究评估了NCNNLM患者的预后,在多学科小组会议上进行了评估,并根据手术或不手术纳入了丹麦肝癌组数据库。方法:我们在2013年10月至2023年11月期间在丹麦四个专业中心的多学科小组会议上评估了所有NCNNLM患者。采用描述性统计和Kaplan-Meier曲线分别分析患者特征和生存率。采用logistic回归、Cox回归和加速失效时间模型评估预后因素。结果:605例患者纳入分析。中位随访时间为20个月,无患者失访。患者中位年龄为64岁,以女性为主(58%)。大多数患者(93%)的世界卫生组织(WHO)绩效状态为0-1。总5年生存率为29%,中位生存期为27个月。307例患者(51%)接受了手术。与非手术治疗相比,手术干预与更好的生存相关(中位生存39个月对13个月,P < 0.05)。不良预后因素包括年龄超过64岁(危险比= 1.022,P < 0.0001)和WHO表现状况2-4(优势比6.89,P = 0.007)。结论:NCNNLM预后较差。肝转移手术与生存率的提高相关,年龄、WHO表现状态和原发癌症类型是重要的预后因素。然而,从我们的研究中,我们不能确定手术的因果效应,并且可能因适应症而混淆。

Introduction

Jejunal artery aneurysms (JAAs) account for 1% of all visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs). Fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the English literature, rupture rates approach 60%, compared with 10%-20% for other VAAs. Their rupture risk and management remain poorly defined.

Methods

We reviewed the English literature from 1944 to June 2025 and identified 44 cases of JAAs with analyzable data. Primary objective was to explore predictors of rupture; secondary objective was management. Given the rarity and heterogeneity of reports, statistical analyses were exploratory. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest series of JAAs with analyzable data reported to date.

Results

Overall rupture rate was 59%, most (64.7%) measured ≤10 mm and occurred in younger individuals (mean age 41.9 versus 57.3 ys, P = 0.0199). Mortality rate was 9.1% (n = 4), including two with connective tissue disease; 26.9% of ruptured cases had no medical history. Rupture was associated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage (P = 0.0019) but not with pain (P = 0.310). Surgical management most common was: aneurysm excision (47.7%) or bowel resection (27.3%). Embolization was performed in 7 cases, with no mortality.

Conclusions

Most of ruptures occurred in small aneurysms (<10 mm) challenging the conventional 2 cm intervention threshold applied to other VAAs. These findings suggest that arterial wall pathology and unstable flow may contribute to rupture, independently of size. Management should be individualized incorporating patient-specific risk factors and underlying vascular vulnerability. This is consistent with the recent international Society for Vascular Surgery Clinical Practical Guidelines recommendations. Further studies are required to define risk stratification.
空肠动脉瘤(JAAs)占所有内脏动脉瘤(VAAs)的1%。在英国文献中报道的病例不到100例,破裂率接近60%,而其他VAAs的破裂率为10%-20%。它们的破裂风险和管理仍然不明确。方法:回顾1944年至2025年6月的英文文献,找出44例JAAs的可分析资料。主要目的是探讨破裂的预测因素;次要目标是管理。鉴于报告的稀有性和异质性,统计分析是探索性的。据我们所知,这是迄今为止报告的具有可分析数据的最大jaa系列。结果:总破裂率为59%,大多数(64.7%)测量≤10 mm,发生在年轻个体(平均年龄41.9岁对57.3岁,P = 0.0199)。死亡率为9.1% (n = 4),包括2例结缔组织疾病患者;26.9%的破裂病例无病史。破裂与胃肠道出血相关(P = 0.0019),但与疼痛无关(P = 0.310)。手术治疗最常见的是:动脉瘤切除术(47.7%)或肠切除术(27.3%)。栓塞7例,无死亡病例。结论:动脉瘤破裂多发生在小动脉瘤(

Introduction

To evaluate steroidogenesis in pediatric adrenal rests in the spermatic cord.

Methods

We reviewed pediatric patients who underwent surgical exploration of the inguinal and scrotal areas retrospectively. When we detected spermatic cord masses during the surgery, we resected it for pathological evaluation.

Results

We first reviewed clinical records of 249 surgeries in 194 male patients in the retrospective fashion and subsequently detected ten adrenal rests in nine cases. Steroid synthases, androgen receptor, Ki-67 were immunolocalized in nine cases to further explore steroidogenesis and potential effects of androgens. All adrenal rests harbored multiple zonae as in eutopic adrenal cortex with fetal adrenal cortex detected in four-fifth adrenal rests in infancy but none after infancy. Age was significantly negatively correlated with adrenocortical areas evaluated by image analysis (P < 0.0001). Immunoreactivity of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2), 11-beta-hydroxylase, cytochrome P450 17A1, and sulfotransferase 2A1 was diffusely detected mainly in the areas corresponding to the zona glomerulosa (ZG), the zona fasciculata (ZF), the ZF and zona reticularis, and the zona reticularis and fetal adrenal cortex-like structures, respectively. CYP11B2-positive area ratio tended to decrease from birth to early childhood but increase in prepuberty. Diffuse cytoplasmic androgen receptor immunoreactivity was detected in ZG-like cells in prepubertal specimens. Ki-67 positive cells were mainly detected in the ZG- and ZF-like cells, mostly in infancy.

Conclusions

Androgen-dependent aldosterone biosynthesis may differ between adrenal rests and eutopic adrenal glands, but steroidogenesis in adrenal rests in the spermatic cord is considered normal.
目的:评价精索内小儿肾上腺激素的形成。方法:我们回顾了接受手术探查腹股沟和阴囊区域的儿童患者。当我们在手术中发现精索团块时,我们将其切除以进行病理评估。结果:我们首先回顾了194例男性患者249例手术的临床记录,随后在9例中发现了10例肾上腺休息。9例患者免疫定位类固醇合成酶、雄激素受体、Ki-67,进一步探讨雄激素的类固醇形成及其潜在作用。所有的肾上腺皮质都像异位肾上腺皮质一样有多个带,在婴儿期有四分之五的胎儿肾上腺皮质被检测到,但在婴儿期后没有。年龄与图像分析评估的肾上腺皮质面积呈显著负相关(P < 0.0001)。醛固酮合成酶(CYP11B2)、11- β -羟化酶、细胞色素P450 17A1和硫转移酶2A1的免疫反应性主要分布在肾小球带(ZG)、束状带(ZF)、ZF和网状带以及网状带和胎儿肾上腺皮质样结构对应的区域。cyp11b2阳性面积比在出生后至幼儿期呈下降趋势,在青春期前呈上升趋势。在青春期前的zg样细胞中检测到弥漫性细胞质雄激素受体免疫反应性。Ki-67阳性细胞以ZG-和zf样细胞为主,多见于婴儿期。结论:雄激素依赖性醛固酮生物合成在肾上腺休止点和异位肾上腺之间可能有所不同,但精索肾上腺休止点的甾体生成被认为是正常的。

Introduction: Both acute care surgeons (ACS) and colorectal surgeons (CRS) manage patients with acute lower gastrointestinal (GI) surgical conditions. No consensus guidelines exist regarding which service is best suited to manage specific conditions. We investigated surgeon views and practice patterns regarding service allocation for the management of acute lower GI conditions.

Methods: An anonymous survey was emailed to all 237 ACS and CRS at teaching hospitals in New England with both departments (n = 19) in April 2024. Respondents rated 20 conditions on which service should manage each condition and which service usually manages the condition at their institution. Surgeons also assessed factors influencing service allocation. For each condition, the average of each service's responses was calculated and compared between the two specialties. Open-ended responses regarding barriers to creating consensus guidelines were evaluated using qualitative thematic analysis.

Results: The response rate was 41% (n = 96), with 38% ACS (n = 55) and 45% CRS (n = 41). ACS and CRS agreed about who should manage 14 of the 20 surgical conditions. In cases of disagreement, each service preferred to manage the condition, rather than the other service. Although ACS rated CRS availability to be an important factor for decision-making, CRS felt that time of day and day of week were less important.

Conclusions: ACS and CRS in New England agreed on which specialty should manage several acute lower GI surgical conditions and some factors impacting these decisions. These data may be used to develop consensus guidelines to streamline care allocation and potentially limit delays in care.

简介:急性护理外科医生(ACS)和结肠直肠外科医生(CRS)管理急性下胃肠道(GI)手术条件的患者。关于哪种服务最适合管理特定条件,目前还没有一致的指导方针。我们调查了外科医生对急性下消化道疾病管理服务分配的看法和实践模式。方法:于2024年4月通过电子邮件对新英格兰地区教学医院两科共237名ACS和CRS (n = 19)进行匿名调查。受访者对20个条件进行了评级,在这些条件下,服务部门应该管理每个条件,哪些服务部门通常管理他们机构的条件。外科医生还评估了影响服务分配的因素。对于每种情况,计算每种服务响应的平均值,并在两个专业之间进行比较。利用定性专题分析评估了关于建立协商一致准则的障碍的不限成员名额答复。结果:有效率为41% (n = 96),其中ACS为38% (n = 55), CRS为45% (n = 41)。ACS和CRS就20种手术条件中的14种由谁来处理达成了一致。在不一致的情况下,每个服务都倾向于管理条件,而不是其他服务。虽然ACS认为CRS的可用性是决策的重要因素,但CRS认为一天中的时间和一周中的哪一天不那么重要。结论:ACS和CRS在新英格兰就哪些专科应该处理几种急性下消化道手术情况以及影响这些决定的一些因素达成一致。这些数据可用于制定共识指南,以简化护理分配和潜在地限制护理延误。
