Background: Microsatellite instability (MSI) analysis of tumors informs Lynch syndrome testing, therapeutic choice, and prognosis. The status of MSI is mainly detected by polymerase chain reaction coupled with capillary electrophoresis. However, there are various assays with different detection loci and the obtained results may vary. The objective of this study was to evaluate the concordance among different assays and the performance among different laboratories.
Methods: External quality assessment (EQA) for the detection of MSI was performed in 2021 and 2022. Each sample panel consisted of five samples, including microsatellite-stable and MSI tumor tissues. The sample panels were coded at random, and the returned results were compared and scored.
Results: The fully validated sample panels showed appropriate applicability with commercially available assays. There were eight false-negative results in 2021 and five false results (two false-positives and three false-negatives) in 2022. Among the participating laboratories, in 2021, 20 (74.07%) provided completely correct results; in 2022, 38 (92.68%) obtained an optimal score.
Conclusion: The molecular detection of MSI in China exhibited an improvement in a 2-year EQA study. Participation in EQA program is an efficient way of assessing the performance of laboratories and improving their ability.

Background: The recurrence rate of bipolar disorder (BD) is relatively high. Assessing the risk of relapse in patients with BD can assist in identifying populations at high risk for recurrence, and early feasible interventions can improve patient' prognoses. Therefore, it is important to establish and validate predictive models for relapse risk in patients with BD.

As the treatment for cancer improves and advances are made, the clinical focus is often on treatment response and survival. However, these are not the only factors which are important to patients. More patients are living longer after cancer treatment and therefore it is important that we can describe not only the treatment to patients but also what their life will be like during and after treatment.

Background: The challenges posed by difficult intravenous access (DIVA) in clinical treatment are not only related to technical difficulties but also have the potential to affect the quality of patient care and overall experience. It is crucial to adopt effective strategies to address difficult intravenous access. Currently, the assessment of difficult veins largely relies on individual perception and experience, which introduces a significant degree of subjectivity.

Background: Anterior shoulder instability with glenoid bone loss presents a challenge in orthopedic surgery. The Latarjet and iliac crest bone graft transfer (ICBGT) procedures are commonly employed for its management, but direct comparative evidence is insufficient.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted.

Background: Robot-assisted surgery is one of several minimally invasive techniques which have become increasingly important in recent years. Education and training are key factors of sustainable success, and surgical tutoring by an experienced external surgeon (proctoring) has emerged as a very useful method of training surgeons. Proctoring enables surgeons to train their respective skills and eventually improve the overall quality of surgical care.
