Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is the most common subtype of pemphigus. It predominantly affects adults, with pediatric cases being exceedingly rare. Despite advancements in clinical treatment, the mortality rate of pediatric PV (PPV) has historically been alarmingly high, ranging from 70% to 100% in the absence of proper diagnosis and treatment. Although recent improvements in therapeutic strategies have led to a gradual decline in mortality, early and appropriate intervention remains crucial, particularly for children with acute onset and rapid disease progression, to prevent severe complications. However, due to the rarity of PPV, no standardized diagnostic and treatment guidelines are currently available. This study retrospectively analyzed 104 PPV cases recorded in the PubMed and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases between 1969 and 2024, with the aim of providing insights for the standardized diagnosis and management of PPV. PPV presents with flaccid blisters affecting both cutaneous and mucosal surfaces. Upon rupture, these blisters result in painful, sharply demarcated erythematous erosions, accounting for approximately 1.4%-3.7% of all reported PV cases. The age of onset ranges from 1.5 to 18 years, with an average of 12.4 years, and no significant gender differences have been observed. In pediatric patients, the oral mucosa is typically the earliest and most frequently affected site, with an involvement rate as high as 87.3%, and it most commonly affects the buccal mucosa (27.9%). Other mucosal sites are affected in 52.9% of cases, with genital (28.8%) and perianal (6.7%) involvement being more frequent than in adult patients. Skin lesions are present in 80.4% of pediatric cases, a significantly higher rate than 16.0%-68.4% observed in adults. If lesions are relatively localized, local glucocorticoid therapy can be attempted first, with 8.3% of children achieving complete remission through local treatment alone. Systemic glucocorticoid therapy is the preferred option for cases that respond poorly to local therapy. Among these cases, 75.3% of pediatric patients were treated with prednisone, with 85.1% starting at an oral dose of 0.5-1.5 mg/kg/day, while 14.9% received an initial dose of 2 mg/kg/day. Alternative treatments, such as immunosuppressants, biologics, or other adjuvant medications, may be considered for pediatric patients who exhibit an inadequate response to glucocorticoid therapy or experience severe adverse effects. The most commonly used agents include azathioprine (24.0%), dapsone (21.7%), and rituximab (12.5%). The follow-up period for pediatric patients ranged from 1 to 120 months, with an average duration of 38 months. Prognosis in pediatric patients was more favorable compared to adults, with 43.8% achieving complete remission (cessation of treatment), 37.5% achieving partial remission (low-dose maintenance therapy), 9.6% still undergoing treatment, and only 1.1% succumbing to pneumonia or sepsis. Compared to adults, prolonged corticosteroid use in children poses a greater risk to physiological and psychological well-being, making them more susceptible to adverse effects related to growth, metabolism, and ocular health. Severe adverse reactions occurred in 22.1% of pediatric patients receiving corticosteroids, with Cushingoid facies (73.9%) and weight gain (39.1%) being the most common. In addition, 30.4% experienced growth and skeletal abnormalities, including growth retardation (17.4%), osteoporosis (8.7%), and fractures (4.3%). While PPV shares certain etiological, clinical, and histopathological characteristics with adult PV (APV), early diagnosis and timely intervention remain critical for optimal outcomes. Multidisciplinary collaboration is often necessary to ensure comprehensive management, improve treatment adherence, and safeguard the physical and psychological health of pediatric patients.

BackgroundRumination can play a certain degree role of psychological adjustment in cancer patients. Previous studies have focused on studying the level of rumination in a single type of cancer patient， but there is a lack of comprehensive investigation and influencing factor research on rumination levels in different types of cancer patients. ObjectiveTo explore the level of rumination and its influencing factors among middle-advanced cancer inpatients， so as to provide certain guidance for targeted psychological care in clinical practice. MethodsFrom January 2021 to December 2022， a systematic sampling technique was used to recruit 346 patients with TNM stage III or above tumors hospitalized in Nuclear Industry 416 Hospital， Chengdu Sixth People's Hospital and the First People's Hospital of Yibin. All individuals were assessed using Perceived Social Support Scale （PSSS） and the Chinese version of Event-Related Ruminant Inventory （C-ERRI）， and Logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify the influencing factors of rumination. ResultsIn terms of C-ERRI， patients scored （15.59±5.61） on intrusive rumination and （14.59±5.43） on deliberate rumination. Education levels of junior high school/high school/vocational training school （OR=0.817， P<0.01） and junior college and above （OR=0.579， P<0.05） were the protective factors of intrusive rumination， whereas annual personal incomes of <10 000 yuan （OR=4.918， P<0.01） or 10 000~50 000 yuan （OR=2.076， P<0.01） and low （OR=6.882， P<0.01） or middle （OR=3.114， P<0.01） level of social support were the risk factors of intrusive rumination. For deliberate rumination， education levels of junior high school/high school/vocational training school （OR=0.574， P<0.01） and junior college and above （OR=0.449， P<0.05） were the protective factors， and low （OR=1.391， P<0.01） or middle （OR=1.161， P<0.05） levels of social support were the risk factors. ConclusionThe level of intrusive rumination of inpatients with middle-advanced cancer is related to education level， economic status and social support， furthermore， the level of deliberate rumination is related to the educational level and social support. ［Funded by Medical Research Project of Chengdu Health Commission （ number， 2020119）］

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）during January to December 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 544，35.2%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=1 441，32.9%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=574，13.1%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=385，8.8%），and α-hemolytic Streptococci（ n=187，4.3%）. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）was 26.2%（405/1 544）and 69.8%（1 006/1 441），respectively. Notably，all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility（>97.0%）to cephalobiol，rifampicin，trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline，tigecycline，and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium（resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin：both 1.7%）compared to Enterococcus faecalis（both 0.3%）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country（ χ2=17.674 and 148.650，respectively，both P<0.001）. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA（ χ2=14.111， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.828， P=0.028）in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA（ χ2=18.986， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.477， P=0.034）in less developed regions（per capita GDP

Objective:To report the results of bacterial resistant investigation collaborative system（BRICS）on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2023，and provide reference for clinical tretment of bloodstream infections and prevention and control of bacterial resistance.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of BRICS were collected during January 2023 to December 2023. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals，of which 10 098（87.9%）were Enterobacterales and 1 394（12.1%）were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（50.0%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（26.1%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（5.1%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（5.0%）and Enterobacter cloacae complex（4.1%）. The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%（2 685/5 741），18.3%（549/2 999）and 44.0%（77/175），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（76/5 741）and 15.0%（450/2 999）；32.9%（25/76）and 78.0%（351/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. 94.7%（72/76）and 90.2%（406/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore，57.9%（44/76）and 79.1%（356/450）were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 64.6%（370/573），while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline，eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 17.0%（99/581）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA and CRAB complex（ χ2=10.6，28.6，10.8 and 19.3， P<0.05）. The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli， CREC，CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=12.5，9.8，12.7 and 57.8，all P<0.01）. Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend，CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level，and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.

Objective:To study the application of "experiential training on death education" in teaching nursing interns in the oncology department, and to explore a novel method of death education for nursing interns.Methods:From September 2019 to September 2023, a total of 120 nursing students who interned in the Department of Oncology, Nuclear Industry 416 Hospital were assigned to the control group (53 students) and the study group (67 students) based on their enrollment time. The control group received traditional theoretical teaching and experience in caring for terminally ill patients, while the study group received experiential training on death education. The Chinese death attitude profile-revised (DAP-R), coping with death scale (CDS), course satisfaction, and learning outcomes were observed after 3-month internship. A data analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0. The differences between two groups were compared using the independent samples t-test. The differences before and after education in the same group were compared using paired t-test. The comparison of categorical data between groups was performed using the chi-square test, while ranked data were compared using the rank-sum test. Results:There were no significant differences in the DAP-R scores between the two groups before education ( P>0.05). The scores of five dimensions of DAP-R were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group after education [fear of death: (22.11±5.38) points vs. (17.14±5.23) points, P<0.05; death evasion: (14.83±4.07) points vs. (12.31±4.15) points, P<0.05; neutral acceptance: (19.95±4.44) points vs. (22.31±5.14) points, P<0.05; approaching acceptance: (32.16±6.93) points vs. (35.23±7.33) points, P<0.05; avoiding acceptance: (16.47±5.86) points vs. (18.94±5.09) points, P<0.05]. There were no significant differences in the six factors of CDS between the two groups before education ( P>0.05). The CDS scores were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group after education ( P<0.05). The scores of three dimensions (novelty of course content, course satisfaction, and self-engagement) were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group after education ( P<0.05). The scores of improvement of empathy [(2.44±0.55) points vs. (3.16±0.50) points], attention to spiritual issues [(2.61±0.49) points vs. (3.11±0.52) points], improvement of communication skills [(3.10±0.51) points vs. (4.23±0.47) points], and correct values of life [(2.29±0.44) points vs. (3.37±0.55) points] were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group after education ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Experiential training on death education can increase the experience of students, improve their attitude towards death and ability to cope with death, and enhance their initiative and enthusiasm for learning.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between sex hormone levels and micropenis after mild hypospadias surgery in children.Methods:A case control study was carried out.The clinical data of 71 children aged 1 to 13 years who underwent mild hypospadias surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from April 2022 to April 2024 were analyzed.Preoperatively, the children were divided into a mild hypospadias group (Group A) and a mild hypospadias with micropenis group (Group B) based on the stretched penile length (SPL).Prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, and testosterone (TES) levels of the 2 groups were measured.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a risk prediction model.The discrimination capability of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.SPL and sex hormone levels were measured again 6 months after surgery.The children were divided into a normal penile group (Group AA) and a micropenis group (Group BB) after mild hypospadias according to SPL.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a risk prediction model, which was evaluated using the ROC curve.Results:The levels of FSH, LH and TES in group A before the operation were 3.28(2.02, 4.46) IU/L, 0.53(0.25, 0.79) IU/L and 25.24(17.94, 36.67) ng/dL, respectively, and those in group B were 1.42(1.10, 1.84) IU/L, 0.14(0.09, 0.23) IU/L and 15.73 (12.92, 17.00) ng/dL, respectively.The difference was all statistically significant (all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed statistical significance ( OR=0.515, 95% CI: 0.271-0.977; OR=0.035, 95% CI: 0.002-0.542; OR=0.883, 95% CI: 0.796-0.980).The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.906, with a sensitivity of 75.00% and a specificity of 95.74%.The levels of FSH, LH and TES in the postoperative AA group were 2.97 (1.88, 4.28) IU/L, 0.46 (0.23, 0.78) IU/L and 20.92 (17.34, 33.27) ng/dL, respectively.The median levels of FSH, LH and TES in the BB group were 1.52 (1.27, 1.82) IU/L, 0.17 (0.12, 0.26) IU/L and 15.08(11.68, 16.68) ng/dL, respectively.The difference was all statistically significant (all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed statistical significance ( OR=0.484, 95% CI: 0.236-0.992; OR=0.061, 95% CI: 0.004-0.939; OR=0.891, 95% CI: 0.795-0.999).The AUC of the prediction model constructed was 0.877, with a sensitivity of 94.12% and a specificity of 68.52%. Conclusions:Lower FSH, LH and TES levels are risk factors for the micropenis after mild hypospadias surgery, and preoperative hormone levels have higher predictive value.
