Release time:May 29, 2024 13:30 PM

Glioma is one of the most common primary malignant brain tumors. It has the characteristics of unclear boundaries, adjacent to functional areas, and insensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is difficult to undergo surgical resection and has a poor prognosis. Studies have found that 80% of patients with grade 2-3 gliomas have mutations in the metabolic enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase. This type of IDH-mutated gliomas tend to occur in peripheral brain lobes and are common in young people. After maximum tumor surgical resection, , can significantly improve survival rate. Rapid identification of IDH mutations during surgery and intraoperative molecular pathological diagnosis of glioma are of great significance to improving patient prognosis.

After preliminary accumulation and nearly five years of research, yesterday, the National Medical Center for Neurological Diseases, the team of Professors Mao Ying/Hua Wei from the Department of Neurosurgery of Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, the team of Professor Ouyang Zheng from the Department of Precision Instruments of Tsinghua University, and Professor Cooks from Purdue University in the United States The team and the team of Professor Ginunis from the Mayo Clinic published the latest research results titled "Intraoperative Mass Spectrometry for Rapid Detection of IDH Mutation in Glioma" in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, successfully constructing a complete glioma The IDH mutation intraoperative diagnosis process shortens the entire detection time to 1.5 minutes, providing a basis for assisting surgeons during surgery to quickly identify tumor types, balance tumor resection rate and nerve function protection, and determine surgical boundaries. The study also confirmed the role of mass spectrometry in rapid intraoperative diagnosis, bringing possibilities for innovative changes in various surgical operations in the future and having important clinical value.

In 2018, the team of Professors Mao Ying/Hua Wei from Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University used mass spectrometry to detect IDH mutation detection and intraoperative application by detecting the special small molecule metabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate produced after IDH mutation. Article Published in "LabInv". Since then, the team has persisted in collaborative innovation to improve the portability and accuracy of rapid intraoperative testing.

This study was completed in the past five years through the cooperation of four top research and clinical institutions in China and the United States, including Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, Tsinghua University, Purdue University and the Mayo Clinic. It was independently conducted at Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University and the Mayo Clinic. The largest known clinical study of intraoperative IDH mutation detection in glioma to date.

During the research process, the Chinese and American teams worked together and carried out research as two independent teams: the Chinese team used a direct capillary electrospray portable mass spectrometry system, and the American team used an electrospray desorption ionization mass spectrometry system, both of which can complete rapid and accurate detection of metabolites and implement technology. Rapid detection of molecular typing.

Among them, the mass spectrometer used by the Chinese team has been miniaturized, making it truly possible to perform instant testing. The study constructed a complete intraoperative diagnosis process for IDH mutations in glioma and compressed the detection time of the entire process to 1.5 minutes. The study also found that the ratio of 2-HG to glutamate has better diagnostic performance than the single indicator of 2-HG; The study achieved 100% IDH mutation detection accuracy in 697 samples from 260 glioma patients. Compared with other methods, it takes very little time, and the diagnostic accuracy is still close to 100% in the operating room environment. Precise diagnosis of intraoperative molecular pathology brings good news to patients with related diseases.

Since September, data from medical institutions in Shanghai has shown a significant increase in influenza cases, with some pediatric medical institutions experiencing an increase of over 50% compared to before. The main population affected by this round of influenza is primary school students, and the prevalent strain is A type H3N2, which is different from the A type H1N1 strain that spread from February to April this year. Pediatric experts said that over the past five years, Type A H3N2 has only been sporadic or slightly prevalent in the short term, with little "trouble making". In addition to the COVID-19 and other factors, it has led to the low immune level of the population to Type A H3N2, so it has become the main epidemic strain in the recent stage. In order to effectively protect themselves, getting vaccinated against influenza has become a choice for many citizens, their elderly, and children. However, recently there have been complaints from citizens that influenza vaccines, unlike most community health service centers in Puxi, have gradually arrived

An eight year old girl suffers from rare myoclonic dystonia syndrome and has been seeking medical attention for five years without success. Finally, with the collaborative assistance of the Neuroregulation Children's Center and a multidisciplinary team at the National Children's Medical Center Fudan University Affiliated Pediatric Hospital, deep electrodes were precisely implanted to alleviate the problem of muscle tone disorders in girls. Recently, the girl recovered well after surgery and was discharged smoothly. From the age of 3, Hua Hua began to experience involuntary shaking of her limbs and movement disorders, gradually unable to walk normally. For the past five years, her parents have taken her to various places for diagnosis and treatment, and genetic diagnosis suggests the presence of SGCE gene mutations. It is reported that this gene mutation is associated with myoclonic dystonia syndrome and belongs to primary dystonia type 11. Despite attempting multiple medication treatments, the child's symptoms have not improved significantly. Expert introduction: MDS is a rare disease,

During the summer, trekking through mountains and rivers has become the preferred way to cool off in major scenic spots. Recently, Mr. Wang accompanied his family to visit a certain mountain and forest scenic spot in China, but was bitten by mosquitoes and didn't take it to heart. Who expected that one week after returning to Shanghai, he began to have fever, aches and pains all over his body. The first time he measured that COVID-19 antigen was negative. He thought he had a cold and did not get better after taking medicine. His temperature was getting higher and higher, and his spirit was getting worse. After examination, the platelet count was lower than normal, but the cause could not be determined. Mr. Wang went to the Infectious Diseases Department of Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center for treatment. After the department director Huang Qin inquired about his medical history, he carefully examined his body and found a highly suspected tick bite mark in the patient's leg socket. The relevant specimens have been tested by the urban CDC and confirmed that Mr. Wang has been infected with the novel Bunyavirus. After timely symptomatic treatment and careful care, Mr. Wang will recover in a week

A thousand miles away in southeastern Yunnan - Qiubei County, Yunnan Province, has beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. However, there is a shortage of medical resources and many people are unable to seek medical treatment locally. How can high-quality medical resources be sent to mountainous areas? Seven years ago, the North Campus of Huashan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University signed a paired assistance agreement with the government of Qiubei County and the People's Hospital, and the Youth League Committee of Huashan Hospital launched the "Caiyun Plan" volunteer service. Volunteer service has pioneered a new model of "medical+education" assistance in Shanghai and Yunnan, from providing medical technology to supporting impoverished students and promoting science education. After seven years, the Huashan North Hospital was reorganized and merged into Huashan Hospital, and the "Caiyun Plan" was not interrupted. During this period, medical youths from Huashan entered the mountains in batches under the organization of the Youth League Committee, bringing health and well-being to the people and igniting the academic dreams of the children in the mountains. Recently, on the occasion of the 102nd anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the "Colorful Cloud Plan"
