Background: Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is a rare congenital abnormality in pancreaticobiliary duct development. PBM is commonly found in children, and it often leads to acute pancreatitis and other diseases as a result of pancreaticobiliary reflux. Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy is a common surgical method for the treatment of PBM, but there are several associated complications that may occur after this operation.
Case Summary: The patient, a 12-year-old female, was hospitalized nearly 20 times in 2021 for recurrent acute pancreatitis. In 2022, she was diagnosed with PBM and underwent laparoscopic common bile duct resection and Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy in a tertiary hospital. In the first year after surgery, the patient had more than 10 recurrent acute pancreatitis episodes. After undergoing abdominal computed tomography and other examinations, she was diagnosed with "residual bile duct stones and recurrent acute pancreatitis". On January 30, 2024, the patient was admitted to our hospital due to recurrent upper abdominal pain and was cured through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
Conclusion: This article reports a case of a child with distal residual common bile duct stones and recurrent acute pancreatitis after Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy for PBM. The patient was cured through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Case Report: Long-term suppression of relapses by dimethyl fumarate in a relapsing pediatric patient with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease manifesting as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, unilateral optic neuritis, and seizure episodes.

Background: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-associated diseases (MOGAD), which has been recognized as a distinct entity in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, often presents with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) symptoms in pediatric patients. Appropriate treatment based on accurate diagnosis is challenging in relapsing pediatric patients with MOGAD.
Case Presentation: An 11-year-old girl experienced relapses four times, exhibiting brainstem symptoms, an ADEM episode, seizures, and optic neuritis (ON).

Department of Cardiology, Tianjin Chest Hospital, Tianjin, People's Republic of China.
Background: Severe in-stent restenosis (ISR) following the implantation of drug-eluting stent (DES) can lead to recurrent angina pectoris or even acute myocardial infarction, thereby necessitating target lesion revascularization (TLR). Prior studies have confirmed the correlation between the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) and ISR after DES implantation. The potential of MHR to predict TLR following DES implantation remains an area of ongoing research and may have significant clinical implications.

Various conditions can cause myelopathy due to cervical epidural fluid collection, including idiopathic cervical epidural hematoma, traumatic cervical epidural hematoma, infectious myelitis, epidural abscess, spinal cord infarction, post-traumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, and epidural tumors. While physical compression from hematoma, abscess, or epidural tumors is common, and carcinomatous meningitis can cause CSF flow obstruction and accumulation leading to myelopathy, rapid progression of serous fluid collection causing myelopathy is rare. We report a case of myelopathy caused by rapid accumulation of epidural exudate from a metastatic tumor in the cervical lamina.

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare subtype of thyroid cancer originating from parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are used to treat patients with advanced MTC. Selpercatinib is a highly selective RET inhibitor used in the treatment of advanced RET-mutated MTC, having shown higher potency and fewer side effects compared to multikinase inhibitors in clinical trials.
