Background@#Congenital absence of the pericardium (CAP) is a rare cardiac abnormality. As pericardial defects are usually asymptomatic, most cases are diagnosed during surgery or on autopsy. The patient in this case was found to have CAP during thoracoscope.Case: We present the unusual case of a 69-year-old patient with CAP who experienced sudden ventricular arrhythmia and developed ventricular fibrillation during left upper lobectomy. Surgical operations, the lateral decubitus position, and other external stimuli may be important risk factors for ventricular fibrillation. The patient regained sinus rhythm soon after intrathoracic cardiac compression and pharmacological treatment, including lidocaine spray (2%, 10 ml) administered to the heart surface. The surgery was then completed without any additional instances of ventricular arrhythmia. @*Conclusions@#Patients with CAP are more susceptible to cardiac-related adverse events during thoracotomy or thoracoscopy. Treatment of ventricular arrhythmias that occur during lung resection in patients with CAP should be emphasized.

Objective:To evaluate the accessibility construction status of road traffic sidewalks in Shanghai. Methods:From July to September, 2019, 46 road traffic sidewalks in Shanghai were selected using a convenience sampling, and evaluation tools were designed based on the Codes for Accessibility Design (GB 50763-2012) and Standards for Design on Accessibility of Buildings and Facilities (DGJ08-103-2003). After field check and experience for the sidewalks, the compliance rates of evaluation dimensions and evaluation contents of sidewalks were analyzed using the descriptive analysis. The weights of each dimension were calculated using the principal component analysis to construct the sidewalk comprehensive barrier score model, and to compare the sidewalk comprehensive barrier scores in different areas of Shanghai. From September to November 2019, in-depth interviews were conducted with eleven persons with disabilities to understand the sidewalk barriers for them. Results:The overall compliance rate of sidewalk accessibility was 4.35%. Among the evaluated contents, 93.5% sidewalks had a curb ramp, 91.3% had a height difference between the ramp and the carriageway, 26.1% were not paved with tactile ground surface indicators; 71.7% tactile ground surface indicators were blocked by poles, etc., and 84.8% were occupied by obstacles. The warning indicator was the greatest weight among the evaluated dimensions. The barrier of sidewalks was high (36.7%) and medium (20.0%) in the central area, which was higher than that in the sub-central area (both 6.3%) (P < 0.05). There were many obstacles during the experience of sidewalks using, resulting in less using of the barrier-free facilities. Conclusion:Most of the sidewalks in Shanghai do not meet the standards of the Codes for Accessibility Design. It is urgent to construct and maintain the barrier-free facilities.

Objective To investigate the clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) of breast.Methods Patients with breast PNET were retrieved from CNKI,Pubmed,Europe PMC and other databases from Jan.1980 to Dec.2016.The clinical data of one patient with breast PNET in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.Results 18 cases had painless,rapid growth mass as the main clinical features.The pathological morphology showed small round cell tumors,PAS staining positive.Immunohistochemistry CD99 and Fli-1 characteristic expression were the main indexes for the diagnosis of breast PNET.The positive expression of Vimentin,NSE,Syn and negative expression of CK,EMA,Desmin,CgA,LCA,S-100 also played an important role in the diagnosis of breast PNET.The positive expression of genetic marker EWSRI was the golden standard for diagnosis of breast PNET.The size of the tumor,surgical treatment,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis and chemotherapy were the important factors that affect the prognosis of the PNET.The survival rates of 1 and 3 years were 71.4％ and 33.3％ respectively.Conclusions Breast PNET is a rare tumor with poor prognosis,and its diagnosis is highly dependent on pathology.Surgery can significantly improve the prognosis of the patients.Surgery should be the main treatment,combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.The current study does not show evidence of effectiveness in terms of endocrine or targeted drug therapy for breast PNET patients.

Objective To assess the prognostic value of HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) somatic mutations S310F and V777L in breast cancer patients.Methods HER2 somatic mutations S310F and V777L was screened in 338 consecutive patients with operable primary breast cancer using direct Sanger sequencing analysis.Results A total of 12 carriers of HER2 gene S310F and V777L mutations were found,10 were HER2-negative and 2 were HER2-positive.The median follow-up was 43 months (range from 1 to 61 months).4 were found with local or distant metastasis,and all were HER2-negative patients.Survival analysis found significantly lower survival rates in patients with S3 10F and V777L mutations than in non-carriers (RFS,unadjusted hazard ratio [HR]:5.89,95％ confidence interval [CI]:1.96-17.71,P ＜ 0.001;DRFS,unadjusted HR:5.53,95％ CI:1.56-19.55,P =0.003) and this difference was more manifest in the HER2-negative patients (RFS,unadjusted HR:8.93,95％ CI:2.79-28.62,P ＜ 0.001;DRFS,unadjusted HR:9.89,95％ CI:2.54-38.49,P ＜ 0.001).HER2 somatic mutations S310F and V777L are independent predictors of poor prognosis in breast cancer.Conclusion The prognosis of breast cancer patients carrying HER2 somatic mutations S310F and V777L is significantly worse than that of non-carriers,especially in HER2-negative patients.
