Objective:
To investigate the clinical, pathological features and differential diagnosis of testicular Leydig cell hyperplasia (LCH) .
Methods:
Clinical data, histological features, immunohistochemical findings, ultrastructural characteristics and follow-up data were analyzed in three cases of LCH. The cases were collected from 2011 to 2014 at Beijing Children′s Hospital. A literature review was performed.
Results:
Two males (1.8 years and 2.9 years of age) showed isosexual pseudoprecocity with elevated serum testosterone. Imaging study showed bilateral testicular enlargement with multiple small nodules in the parenchyma. Another 13 years-old patient showed male pseudohermaphroditism and cryptorchism. Gross examination showed the bilateral markedly enlarged testis without discrete lesion. Histologically, LCH was seen in both nodular and diffuse patterns without destruction of seminiferous tubules. Adjacent spermatogenesis was noted. Immunohistochemically, the Leydig cells were positive for inhibin, calretinin and Melan A and ultrastructural analysis showed enriched cytoplasmic endoplasmic reticulum. Two cases had followed up for 7 years. One patient was symptom-free and one was stable.
Conclusion
LCH is a rare benign condition, which is easily misinterpreted as testicular tumor or non-neoplastic diseases. Clinical presentation, imaging study and pathological evaluation are required for the diagnosis.

To investigate the clinicopathological and ultrastructural characteristics of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) in children.
Methods:
A total of 345 cases of LCH from the Department of Pathology, Beijing Children Hospital from January 2012 to March 2016 were investigated by hematoxylin-eosin stain, EnVision immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy.
Results:
The rate of primary clinical diagnosis of LCH in children was 46.0%(210/457). Among 345 patients of LCH, 213 were male and 132 were female, the male to female ratio was 1.6∶1.0, and the median age was 21 months (range from 2 days after birth to 13.3 years). There were total 597 lesions, including bony lesions (258, 43.2%), skin lesions (206, 34.5%) , followed by lymph node (16, 2.7%), lung (28, 4.7%), liver (25, 4.2%) and head-neck (50, 8.4%). Single organ system LCH (SS-LCH) was seen in 295 cases (85.5%) and 50 cases (14.5%) presented with multiple organ system involvement LCH (MS-LCH). There was no significant difference in age and gender between SS-LCH and MS-LCH groups. Regarding sites, more lesions were seen in bone and skin in SS-LCH group, in contrast lymph node, lung, liver and head-neck involvements were often seen in MS-LCH group. Immunohistochemically, the expression of CD1a and Langerin was seen in 99.7% (341/342) and 98.8% (338/342) of the cases respectively. The diagnostic rates by light and transmission electron microscopy were 98.8% (341/345) and 97.4% (112/115) respectively (

Objective:To combine sexology with nursing teaching organically, and construct the content index of the elective course Introduction to Sexology for nursing master, so as to provide reference for promoting the construction of new medical education in China.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. The elective course content of Introduction to Sexual Science for Master of Nursing was preliminarily drawn up through literature analysis,by consulting the literature and materials. From June to October in 2021, by using Delphi method, 20 sexual science experts from 9 provinces and municipalities with relevant experience in master′s teaching were interviewed for two rounds. After statistical processing, the course content indicators were selected according to the importance assignment, coefficient of variation, full score rate and recognition rate of the indicators, and the course content indicators were determined.Results:The positive coefficients of experts in two rounds of correspondence were 83.33% and 100.00% respectively, the authoritative coefficients of experts were 0.818 and 0.815 respectively, and Kendall's harmonious coefficients were 0.137 and 0.403 respectively. The course content of "Introduction to Sexual Science" was composed of 11 first-level indicators and 46 second-level indicators. Its importance value was 4.15-5.00, the coefficient of variation was 0.000-0.136, the full score rate was 20.00%-100.00%, and the recognition rate was 95.00%-100.00%.Conclusion:The course content of "Introduction to Sexual Science" for nursing postgraduates constructed in this study takes the knowledge of sexual psychology and sociology as the core, pays attention to the cultivation of sexual values, combines theoretical knowledge of sexual medicine with clinical practice ability, and has high enthusiasm and authority of experts and good coordination of opinions. It is of positive significance to supplement the lack of sexual health courses for nursing postgraduates and cultivate nursing postgraduates with certain sexual health care literacy.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics, treatments, outcomes and mechanisms of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) complicated with IgA nephropathy (IgAN).Methods:The clinical manifestations, treatments, prognosis and histopathological features of renal biopsy tissues were analyzed in two cases of HUS complicated with IgAN from Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University using light microscopy, immunofluorescence detection and electron microscopy. The related literatures were also reviewed.Results:The clinical manifestations were microvascular hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, acute renal impairment with hematuria, proteinuria, and positive anti-H factor antibody. Histological findings confirmed presence of both HUS and IgAN. Histological features included glomerular mesangial and stromal hyperplasia with endothelial cell proliferation, capillary stenosis, arteriolar thickening, and glomerular ischemia and capillary dilatation. Immunofluorescence detection showed diffuse IgA deposition in the glomerular mesangial matrix. Electron microscopy showed proliferation of mesangial and endothelial cells, thickening of the inner layer of the glomerular basement membrane, deposition of massive electronic densification in the mesangial region, and shrinkage of the segmental basement membrane. The two children were very responsive to plasma exchange and steroid treatments. However, their urine protein and occult blood tests remained continuously positive during the follow-up of 5 years 7 months and 8 months respectively.Conclusions:HUS complicated with IgAN is rare. The diagnosis relies on various pathological examinations, which require the combination of light microscopy, immunofluorescence detection and electron microscopy. Plasma exchange and steroid treatments are effective. However, the long-term prognosis is concerning and may relate to pathological grade and secondary factors. The mechanism of connecting HUS and IgAN is unknown, but may be caused by prodromal or secondary factors.
