Objective:
To investigate the clinicopathological, and molecular characteristics of myoepithelial tumors (MTs) of salivary glands.
Methods:
A total of 37 MTs cases including 13 malignant epithelial tumors (MMTs) and 24 benign epithelial tumors (BMTs) of salivary glands were identified from the archives of the Department of Pathology, General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command, dating from 2006 to 2016. Clinical features, histological patterns, immunohistochemical characteristics and status of EWSR1 gene rearrangement by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis were reviewed in all cases.
Results:
Clinically, 37 MTs cases mainly occurred in the parotid glands, when most of the patients presented with painless masses. Of the 13 MMTs cases, male to female ratio was 7∶6, and the median age was 62 years old. Of the 24 BMTs cases, male to female ratio was 5∶7, and the median age was 54 years old. Immunohistochemically, 37 MTs cases were positive for CKpan, and at least one myoepithelial marker. Twenty six of 37 MTs cases were analyzable for the EWSR1 gene break by FISH. Based on the previous evaluation criterion, the EWSR1 translocation was detected in 4 cases of 11 MMTs, and 4 cases of 15 BMTs. According to the main histological composition of tumor cells, 4 EWSR1-positive MMTs covered 2 clear-cell cases and 2 epithelioid-cell cases, when 4 EWSR1-positive BMTs covered 2 clear-cell cases, 1 plasmacytoid-cell case, and 1 spindle-cell case.
Conclusions
Males and females are affected equally. MTs express immunoreactivity for CKpan, and at least one myoepithelial marker. The EWSR1 rearrangement is present in a subset of MTs, with variable morphological characteristics, and has no statistical significance on clinical behavior.

Objective:To investigate the fear of disease progression in middle-aged and elderly patients with bladder cancer after bladder irrigation for the first time, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From August 2018 to December 2019, 145 non-muscular invasive bladder cancer patients with bladder infusion chemotherapy who underwent transurethral resection of bladder cancer in the Department of Urology, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, were selected as the research object. The General Information Questionnaire, Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF) and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey to analyze the fear of middle-aged and elderly patients with bladder cancer and its influencing factors.Results:Among 145 middle-aged and elderly patients with bladder irrigation, the total score of fear of disease progression was (28.32±7.34) , the scores of physiological health dimension and social family dimension were (18.24±4.32) and (10.11±5.46) respectively, and the total score of ill perception was (44.12±10.65) . The total score of the fear of disease progression of patients was positively correlated with the total score of ill perception ( r=0.61, P<0.01) . Univariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in the scores of fear of disease progression among middle-aged and elderly bladder irrigation patients with different ages, personal monthly incomes, religious beliefs, tumor lesions, tumor tissue grade, tumor disease progression or recurrence ( P<0.05) . Regression analysis showed that the independent influencing factors of the fear of disease progression in middle-aged and elderly patients with bladder irrigation included the religious belief, tumor tissue grade, tumor disease progression or recurrence with a statistical difference ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Clinical medical and nursing staff should pay attention to the fear of disease progression in middle-aged and elderly patients with bladder perfusion, especially those with high grade tumor tissues, who are in the advanced stage of tumor, and have no good psychological suggestion. At the same time, we can reduce their fear of disease progression by improving disease perception.

Background:
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure for patients with knee osteoarthritis. The patellar component plays a crucial role in knee biomechanics and can influence postoperative outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between radiological indices of patellar height and patient outcomes following TKA.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent TKA for osteoarthritis. Radiographic measurements of patellar height, including the Insall-Salvati (IS) ratio, modified Blackburne-Peel (mBP) ratio, Caton-Deschamps ratio, and plateaupatellar angle (PPA), were obtained. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Knee Society Score (KSS) and the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12). Patient satisfaction and postoperative complications were also evaluated. Statistical analyses, including correlation analysis and multiple regression models, were performed to determine the association between radiological indices and patient outcomes.
Results:
The study included 330 cases that met the inclusion criteria. The analysis revealed significant correlations between different radiological indices of patellar height and patient outcomes. Lower postoperative PPA was correlated with worse KSS and range of motion scores. A decreased mBP ratio was associated with poorer FJS-12 responses and higher risks of dissatisfaction and patellar clunk or crepitus. Increased IS ratio was linked to a lower likelihood of incidental giving way of the knee. Advanced age was associated with reduced dissatisfaction and incidental giving way probabilities.
Conclusions
The findings of this study demonstrate that radiological indices of patellar height can predict patient outcomes following TKA. Assessing patellar height using various radiographic measurements provides valuable information for surgical planning and prognostic evaluation. Understanding the impact of patellar height on clinical outcomes can aid in optimizing TKA procedures and improving patient satisfaction. These findings emphasize the importance of considering patellar height as a predictive factor in TKA and highlight its potential role in guiding postoperative management and rehabilitation strategies.

Objective:To investigate the role of serum hepatitis B virus RNA (HBV RNA) in predicting HBeAg serological conversion in children with chronic hepatitis B.Methods:175 children aged 1~17 years with chronic hepatitis B who received interferon α (IFNα) for 48 weeks were selected. Patients were divided into HBeAg seroconversion and non-conversion based on whether HBeAg seroconversion occurred at 48 weeks of treatment.T-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare between groups; chisquare test or Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the frequency between groups of classified variables; and Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between indicators. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify influencing factors associated with HBeAg serological conversion. The predictive effect of HBV RNA, HBV DNA, and HBsAg on HBeAg serological conversion was compared and analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results:The seroconversion rate of HBeAg at 48 weeks was 36.0% (63/175). The reduction in HBVRNA levels from baseline to the 12th, 24th, 36th, and 48th weeks of antiviral therapy was significantly greater in the HBeAg serological conversion group than that in the non-conversion group, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (P < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses showed that age and a decline in HBV RNA levels at week 12 were independent predictors of HBeAg serological conversion. The area under the ROC curve (AUROC) of HBV RNA decline at week 12 was 0.677(95% CI∶0.549-0.806, P = 0.012), which was significantly better than the same period of AUROC of HBV DNA (0.657, 95% CI∶0.527-0.788, P = 0.025) and HBsAg (0.660, 95% CI∶0.526-0.795, P = 0.023) decline. HBV RNA levels decreased (>1.385 log10 copies/ml) at week 12, with a positive predictive value of 53.2%, a negative predictive value of 72.2%, a sensitivity of 77.4%, and a specificity of 57.9% for HBeAg seroconversion. Conclusion:HBV RNA level lowering during the 12th week of antiviral therapy can serve as an early predictor marker for HBeAg serological conversion in children with chronic hepatitis B.
