Objective:To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis of endometriosis (EM)-associated ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA).Methods:Clinical and pathological data were collected from nine patients diagnosed with EM-associated ovarian MLA at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University between January 2022 and December 2024. Histological slides were re-reviewed, immunohistochemical examination and molecular testing were performed, and patient follow-up was conducted.Results:(1) Clinical characteristics: the median age of the nine patients was 54 years (range: 38-69 years). All patients presented with a pelvic mass; five cases also reported abdominal pain. Tumor location included five cases in the right ovary, two in the left ovary, and two involving both ovaries. International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging showed 3 cases at stage Ⅰ, 4 at stage Ⅱ, and 2 at stage Ⅲ. (2) Pathological features: gross examination revealed mixed solid-cystic masses with solid areas appearing gray-white or yellow-brown; the median maximum tumor diameter was 9.0 cm (range: 2.6-13.0 cm). Microscopically, tumors exhibited various architectural patterns, including tubular, glandular, papillary, slit-like, sex cord-like, glomeruloid, and solid structures, with tubular and glandular patterns being most common. Tumor cells demonstrated mild to moderate nuclear atypia. Of the 11 tumor foci in the 9 cases, 8 showed coexistence of MLA with other tumor components, such as endometrioid carcinoma, borderline endometrioid or borderline seromucinous tumors. In 1 case of MLA mixed with a borderline endometrioid tumor, both components exhibited squamous metaplasia. Immunohistochemistry showed variable expression of GATA-binding protein 3, thyroid transcription factor-1, CD 10, and calretinin, with positive rates of 9/11, 8/11, 5/11, and 3/6, respectively. Two tumor foci (2/11) exhibited focal expression of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor. All cases displayed wild-type p53 expression. Molecular testing via next-generation sequencing in five patients revealed pathogenic mutations in the KRAS gene (5/5), with 3 cases (3/5) harboring additional pathogenic mutations in other genes. (3) Treatment and prognosis: all patients underwent surgery, supplemented by chemotherapy and (or) targeted therapy. Five patients underwent comprehensive staging surgery, four received cytoreductive surgery, and one patient received targeted therapy. The median follow-up duration was 7 months (range: 2-27 months). Three patients (3/9) experienced recurrence, and no deaths were reported during the follow-up period. Conclusions:EM-associated ovarian MLA demonstrates diverse morphological patterns and frequently coexists with other tumor types. Accurate diagnosis relies on an integrated evaluation of histomorphology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular testing. The primary treatment for EM-associated ovarian MLA is surgery, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients harboring pathogenic KRAS p.G12C mutations may benefit from targeted therapies. Ovarian MLA is an aggressive tumor, prone to recurrence in the short term, and has a poor prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To explore the implementation and standardized management of infection control core ele-ments in grass-roots medical institutions within county-level medical communities.METHODS From Mar.2024 to Apr.2024,the current status of implementation of infection control core elements in the grass-roots medical institu-tions within county-level medical communities was investigated by means of questionnaire survey and qualita-tive interview,and the implementation strategies were further explored.RESULTS The infection management or-ganizational system and functions of the two county-level medical institutions within the county medical communi-ties were completed,there is no independent hospital infection management department in the primary medical in-stitutions.The infection management personnel in the 16 grass-roots medical institutions were part-time person-nel,the personnel with the educational background below junior college accounted for 84.21％,the personnel with the professional background of nursing accounted for 100.00％,the personnel with less than 5 years of working experience accounted for 78.95％,none of them had an on-the-job training certificate.The monitoring programs of the county-level medical institutions within the county medical communities were completed,there was no infec-tion management monitoring information platform in the grass-roots medical institutions.The infection cases,hand hygiene,environmental health and occupational exposures were monitored by people.The grass-roots medi-cal institutions had the highest requirements for various professional trainings and increase of training contents of prevention and control of public health infectious diseases(100.00％).The county-level medical institutions had inadequate capabilities of professional examination of medical equipment replacement and construction of medi-cal architecture.CONCLUSION It is necessary for the country and local levels of governments to attach great importance to the implementation of the infection control core elements in the grass-roots medical institutions within the county-lev-el medical communities,establish the county-level regional information platform,formulate the corresponding surveil-lance indexes and homogenized management systems,complete the cultivation of talents,and offer financial support.

The clinical data, laboratory tests, genetic testing results, diagnosis and treatment process of a child with immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome who carried an FOXP3 gene c. 748_750delAAG(p.Lys250del) variant at the Tianjin Children′s Hospital in April 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.Relevant literature was also reviewed.The typical triad of the IPEX syndrome includes intractable diarrhea, type 1 diabetes, and eczematous dermatitis.Since this syndrome is characterized by extensive clinical heterogeneity, the same mutation may have different presentations, and mutation loci are not associated with disease severity and prognosis.The patient reported in this article presented with atypical clinical symptoms without severe systemic damage.The patient developed hypogammaglobulinemia 2 years after diagnosis.The IPEX syndrome with secondary hypogammaglobulinemia usually presents in atypical cases.

Objective:To understand the coverage and information consistency rate of National Immunization Program (NIP) vaccines among children born during 2020-2021 in Zhejiang Province, Chongqing City, and Shanxi Province (3 provinces) of China .Methods:A simple random sampling method was used to randomly select 3 counties (districts) from each of the 3 provinces, 5 townships from each county (district), and 5 villages from each township. Vaccination information for seven NIP vaccines was collected for children born between 2020 and 2021 in each village. The vaccination coverage, timely coverage, and consistency rates between the survey data and the Immunization Planning Information System data were analyzed.Results:A total of 1 117 children were investigated. The vaccination coverage for each dose of NIP vaccine ranged from 99.10% to 100.00%, with those in Zhejiang Province, Chongqing City, and Shanxi Province ranging from 99.19% to 100.00%, 98.92% to 100.00%, and 99.20% to 100.00%, respectively. The timely coverage of each dose of NIP vaccine ranged from 89.79% to 99.82%, with those in Zhejiang Province, Chongqing City, and Shanxi Province ranging from 94.09% to 99.73%, 89.52% to 99.73%, and 78.55% to 100.00%, respectively. The consistency rate of information on each dose of NIP vaccine ranged from 94.36% to 99.91%, with those in Zhejiang Province, Chongqing City, and Shanxi Province ranging from 97.85% to 99.73%, 98.92% to 100.00%, and 86.06% to 100.00%, respectively.Conclusions:Coverage of NIP vaccines was generally high among children born during 2020-2021 in the 3 provinces of China, but there were regional differences in the timely coverage of some vaccine doses and the vaccination information consistency rate. It is necessary to strengthen the timely vaccination of children's vaccine booster doses and optimize the management of vaccination services.

Although enteric glial cell (EGC) abnormal activation is reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), and inhibition of EGC gliosis alleviated gut and dopaminergic neuronal dysfunction was verified in our previous study, the potential role of gut microbiota on EGC function in PD still need to be addressed. In the present study, fecal microbiota transplantation revealed that EGC function was regulated by gut microbiota. By employing 16S rRNA and metabolomic analysis, we identified that 3-indolepropionic acid (IPA) was the most affected differential microbial metabolite that regulated EGC gliosis. The protective effects of IPA on PD were validated in rotenone-stimulated EGCs and rotenone (30 mg/kg i.g. for 4 weeks)-induced PD mice, as indicated by decreased inflammation, improved intestinal and brain barrier as well as dopaminergic neuronal function. Mechanistic study showed that IPA targeted pregnane X receptor (PXR) in EGCs, and inhibition of IL-13Rα1 involved cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway, leading to inactivation of downstream JAK1-STAT6 pathway. Our data not only provided evidence that EGC gliosis was critical in spreading intestinal damage to brain, but also highlighted the potential role of microbial metabolite IPA in alleviating PD pathological damages through gut-brain axis.

AIM: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic intrastromal lenticule implantation combined with corneal collagen cross-linking(CXL)in patients with moderate to advanced keratoconus.METHODS: A retrospective case series analysis was conducted. A total of 19 patients(20 eyes)with moderate to advanced keratoconus who underwent combined allogeneic intrastromal lenticule implantation and CXL at the Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital from June 2021 to December 2023 were included. The uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCVA), thinnest corneal thickness, central corneal epithelial thickness, anterior corneal flat keratometry(Kf), steep keratometry(Ks), and mean keratometry(Km), as well as the first applanation time(A1T), the first applanation length(A1L), the velocity during the first applanation moment(VIN), the second applanation time(A2T), the second applanation length(A2L), the velocity during the second applanation moment(VOUT), highest concavity time(HCT), highest concavity radius(HCR), peak distance(PD), deformation amplitude(DA), stiffness parameter at first applanation(SP-A1), integrated radius(IR), central corneal thickness(CCT), intraocular pressure(IOP), corneal thickness-corrected IOP, biomechanically intraocular pressure IOP(bIOP), and corneal thickness variation rate(ARTH)were compared between the two groups before surgery and at 1 wk, 1, 3 and 6 mo after surgery.RESULTS: All patients successfully completed the surgery without any intraoperative complications. No significant differences were observed between pre-operative and post-operative measurements for UCVA or the corneal biomechanical parameters, including A1L, A2L, PD, A1T, A2T, VIN, VOUT, DA, IOP, and bIOP(all P>0.05). Significant differences were found between pre-operative and post-operative values for corneal thinnest point thickness, central corneal epithelial thickness, Kf, Ks, Km, and the corneal biomechanical parameters, including HCT, HCR, SP-A1, ARTH, IR, and CCT(all P<0.05). The anterior corneal curvature demonstrated an initial increase followed by a decrease post-operatively. Furthermore, significant differences were observed between pre-operative and post-operative values for HCT, HCR, SP-A1, ARTH, IR, and CCT(all P<0.005).CONCLUSION: Allogenic intrastromal lenticule implantation combined with corneal collagen cross-linking demonstrates favorable safety and stability in treating moderate-to-advanced keratoconus. This combined procedure effectively increases corneal thickness and rigidity, resulting in corneas that are more resistant to deformation postoperatively.
