A 22-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital with a solitary,gradually growing and painless mass in the left shoulder for 2 years.Physical examination revealed no abnormality except for the skin lesion.Skin examination showed an elevated lesion measuring about 3.5 cm× 2.0 cm × 1.5 cm with smooth surface and normal color,which was located in the subcutaeous tissue,indurated and movable.Resection of the tumor was performed under local anesthesia.On visual observation during operation,the tumor was sited in the subcutaneous fat tissue,nodular-like and surrounded locally by fibrous pseudocapsules with a grey incisal surface and mild texture.Microscopicalty,the tumor was extremely similar to breast fibroadenoma with multiple lobuli,and each of the lobuli was composed of tubiform structures,basal cell-like epithelial cell trabs and fibromyxoid stroma abundant in fibroblast-like spindle cells.No hair bulb or primitive dermal papillae were observed in the lobuli,which were separated by compact collagen fibers infiltrated by a few scattered inflammatory cells.Fibromyxoid strotma was surrounded by basal cell-like epithelial cell strabs in most lobuli,and some tubiform structures were filled with a little thin lightly eosinophilic material in a concentric arrangement.Immunohistochemistry showed that intralobular epithelial cells were strongly positive for cytokeratin 5/6,but negative for CAM5.2 or carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA).In addition,the lightly eosinophilic material in lumens was negative for periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining.These results suggested that the tubiform structures were immature follicles,but not sweat ducts.The patient was diagnosed with nodular fibrofolliculoma (NFF) based on the clinical manifestations,morphological features,immunohistochemical and PAS staining results.No relapse was observed in more than 3 months of postoperative follow-up.As a benign trichogenic adnexal neoplasm with unique clinicopathological manifestations,NFF may be a new entity of cutaneous adnexal neoplasm.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of admission blood glucose level for the mortality within 30-day and major adverse cardiac events(MACE) rate in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods An observational analysis of 7446 Chinese STEMI patients from a global randomized controlled trials of cases recruited within 12 hours of symptom onset was carried out. According to the levels of admission glucose (hyperglycemia was defined as admission glucose>10 mmol/L) and known diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) ,these patients were divided into four groups, Ⅰ :no DM and normal glucose group (control group) ; Ⅱ : DM but normal glucose group; Ⅲ : no DM and hyperglycemia group; and Ⅳ: DM and hyperglycemia group. Results Admission hyperglycemia was associated with a significantly higher 30-day mortality rate (group Ⅲ 17. 1% vs group I 8.6%, group Ⅳ 18.6% vs group Ⅰ 8. 6%, P<0.001) and also an increased incidence of MACE (group Ⅲ36. 3% vs group Ⅰ 21.6%, group Ⅳ 38. 8% vs group Ⅰ 21.6%, P<0.001). However, DM without admission hyperglycemia did not increase the 30-day mortality (group Ⅱ 11.6% vs group Ⅰ 8. 6%, P = 0.096). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group Ⅰ patients, group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ had a risk of death of 1.51 fold(OR 1.51,95% CI 1.22-1.87,P<0.001) and 1.83 fold(OR 1.83,95% CI 1.40-2. 39, P<0.001) respectively; hyperglycemia was an independent predictor of 30-day mortality and an increase of 1 mmol/L in glucose level was associated with a 5% increase of mortality risk (OR 1.05,95% CI 1.04-1.07,P<0.001), but DM without hyperglycemia was not so (OR 1.11,95% CI 0. 87-1.42, P =0. 412). Conclusions The rates of 30-day mortality and cardiovascular events are significantly higher in STEMI patients with acute hyperglycemia than in patients without. Hyperglycemia on admission is an independent risk factor for the short-term outcome of STEMI, but diabetes mellitus without hyperglycemia isv not associated with the short-term mortality.

Objective: To explore the relationship between serum sodium level and early prognosis in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: A total of 7461 STEMI patients within 12h of onset who matched the diagnostic standard of European society of cardiology and American college of cardiology were retrospectively studied. According to serum sodium levels within 24h of admission, the patients were categorized into 3 groups: Serum sodium≥135 mmol/L group, Serum sodium 130-134 mmol/L group and Serum sodium<130 mmol/L group. The baseline condition, 30-day mortality with other adverse events and the effect of neuroendocriology inhibitor treatment were compared among 3 groups; their relationships to serum sodium level were analyzed. Results: Serum sodium<130 mmol/L group had the higher 7-day and 30-day mortality than the other 2 groups, both P<0.001; compared with Serum sodium≥135 mmol/L group, Serum sodium<130 mmol/L group presented the higher occurrence rates of 30-day cardiac shock, heart failure (HF) and life-threatening arrhythmia, P<0.001. With adjusted affecting factors of age, diuretic and reperfusion treatments, serum sodium<130 mmol/L was still related to 7-day and 30-day mortality (OR=1.69 and OR=1.57). Both single and multivariable analysis indicated that serum sodium<130 mmol/L was related to cardiac shock (OR=1.75 and OR=1.64), HF (OR=1.42 and OR=1.30) and life-threatening arrhythmia (OR=1.53 and OR=1.34). In all 3 groups, the patients using ACE inhibitor, β-blocker or both medications had reduced 30-day mortality than those without such medication, allP<0.001; the reduction was more obvious in Serum sodium<130 mmol/L group than the other 2 groups,P<0.001. Conclusion: Serum sodium level<130 mmol/L within 24h of admission was the risk factor for the early stage main adverse events as mortality, cardiac shock, HF and life-threatening arrhythmia in acute STEMI patients.

Objective:
To explore the interaction of health literacy and second-hand smoke exposure on psychopathological symptoms of middle school students.
Methods:
From November 2015 to January 2016, 22 628 middle school students from Shenyang of Liaoning Province, Bengbu of Anhui Province, Xinxiang of Henan Province, Ulanqab of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Chongqing Municipality, and Yangjiang of Guangdong Province were enrolled by using the multi-stage cluster convenience sampling method. A questionnaire was used to collect the data including demographic information, health literacy, second-hand smoke exposure, and psychopathological symptoms. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the interaction of health literacy and second-hand smoke exposure on psychopathological symptoms of middle school students.
Results:
The age of students was (15.36±1.79) years old, of which 10 990 were boys, accounting for 48.6% of total students. The detection rate of psychopathological symptoms was 29.1% (6 581/22 628). The detection rate of psychopathological symptoms in those who were exposed to second-hand smoke was 38.1% (2 401/6 304), which was higher than that in the non-second-hand smoke exposure group [25.6% (4 180/16 324)] (
