Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes, and molecular characteristics of PRRX1-rearranged fibroblastic tumor and to discuss their differential diagnoses.Methods:Four cases of PRRX1-rearranged fibroblastic tumor retrieved from Anning First People′s Hospital and Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and their clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes and molecular profiles were analyzed. The literature was reviewed.Results:All 4 cases occurred in adult women with an age of 34(27,41) years. Three tumors occurred in the low extremities and 1 in the trunk. The patients presented with a slowly growing mass or swelling, accompanied by pain in 1 patient. Three tumors were located in the subcutis, and 1 tumor in the intermuscular space. The duration lasted for 6 months to 1 year. Tumor ranged in size from 4.0 to 15.8 cm (mean 7.3 cm). At lower power, the tumors were well circumscribed, showing a multinodular architecture. They were composed of bland ovoid to short spindled cells arranged irregularly with interstitial ropey collagen fibers, and set in a fibrous to fibromyxoid matrix with a close resemblance to low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma. However, all 4 tumors showed negative staining for MUC4. Two tumors were focally positive for S-100 and SOX10. Apart from vimentin, they were all negative for other immunohistochemical stains including SMA, desmin, CD34, STAT6 and β-catenin. The expression of H3K27Me3 was retained. The proliferative index measured by Ki-67 was less than 5%. RNA-sequencing analysis identified PRRX1::NCOA1 fusions in 3 cases, and PRRX1::KMT2D fusion in 1 case. Subsequent FISH study confirmed NCOA1 rearrangement in 3 cases harboring NCOA1 rearrangement. On follow-up (1-14 months), no patient developed either local recurrence or distant metastasis.Conclusions:PRRX1-rearranged fibroblastic tumor is a novel entity of soft tissue tumor that has a predilection for the trunk and extremities, characterized by PRRX1 gene rearrangement and benign clinical course. Familiarity with its clinicopathological features is helpful in the distinction from low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma and other spindle cell tumors with overlapping features.

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of pertussis in Baoshan District, Shanghai from 2017 to 2024, so as to provide an evidence-based reference for optimizing prevention and control strategies. MethodsData on pertussis cases were collected from the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, Shanghai Integrated Management and Immunization Service Information System, and follow-up epidemiological investigations. Descriptive epidemiological analyses were performed to analyze the epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, and vaccine effectiveness. Joinpoint regression analyses were used to examine the temporal trends in incidence rates, and a Poisson model was constructed for spatiotemporal scan analyses. ResultsA total of 1 634 pertussis cases were reported in Baoshan District from 2017 to 2024, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.08∶1. More cases were observed in males than in females, with the age ranged from 20 days to 81 years. Among them, 59.92% were in the 6‒<11 years age group, and 63.34% were students. Low-level sporadic incidence persisted during 2017‒2023, followed by a sharp increase in 2024 (71.37/100 000). Starting in January 2024, the incidence rate showed an upward trend, peaking in May before declining. The majority of cases occurred between April and June. The trend in reported pertussis incidence rates in Baoshan District from 2017 to 2023 showed no statistically significant change (APC=10.039%, t=2.586, P=0.150). Incidence rate rose from January 2024, peaked in May (APC=133.641%, t=3.841, P=0.006), then declined significantly (APC=-47.816%, t=2.586, P<0.001). The 12 subdistricts of Baoshan District were divided into low, medium, and high population density areas, with an average annual reported incidence rate of 6.09/100 000, 8.19/100 000 and 11.96/100 000, respectively. The reported incidence rate increased with an increase in population density. Spatiotemporal scan analyses showed that cases clustered in the southwest and northeast of Baoshan District. Epidemiological follow-up investigations of 1 520 cases revealed that the main clinical symptoms were cough (97.63%) and sputum production (41.58%), and 98.13% of the cases were confirmed by positive nucleic-acid test results. Among the 1 475 cases with immunization records, 83.53% had completed the four-dose pertussis vaccine before onset. The complication incidence rates, from high to low, were in the 0-dose vaccination group, 1‒3-dose vaccination group and 4-dose vaccination group. The duration of cough, from long to short, was observed in the the 0-dose vaccination group, 1‒3-dose vaccination group and 4-dose vaccination group, correspondingly. ConclusionIt is recommended to improve the pertussis surveillance system in medical institutions and establish an active monitoring network, prioritizing deployment in school settings and areas with high population density. Enhancing diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccination coverage among 6-year-old children and further optimizing the pertussis immunization strategies are essential to prevent and reduce the risk of pertussis among school-aged children.

Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is a common pediatric disease with unclear pathogenesis.The prevailing hypothesis is that NE is caused by a discrepancy between nocturnal urine output and bladder capacity and sleep-wake disturbances.Monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) with nocturnal polyuria is a common subtype of NE, which can be effectively treated by Desmopressin.However, it is possible that some children may demonstrate an inability to respond favorably to this form of therapy and become resistant to it, which significantly impacts their physical and mental health and overall quality of life.In this article, recent advances in the pathogenesis and treatment of Desmopressin-resistant MNE with nocturnal polyuria in children were reviewed to provide a reference for its treatment.

Objective:
To assess the awareness and associated factors of wild mushroom poisoning among students in Guizhou Province, so as to provide a scientific foundation for wild mushroom poisoning prevention and control among students.
Methods:
By a multi stage stratified cluster random sampling method, 1 162 students from Guizhou Province were selected in May 2024. The questionnaire survey was administered to evaluate knowledge regarding wild mushroom poisoning. Data were analyzed employing the χ 2 test and Logistic regression model.
Results:
Among the nine questions assessing awareness of wild mushroom poisoning, only three had the awareness rate exceeding 70%. Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that students who "actively learn about the prevention of wild mushroom poisoning" ( OR=0.48, 95%CI =0.26-0.92) and "spread knowledge about wild mushroom poisoning to others" ( OR=0.47, 95%CI =0.33-0.69) scored higher on the wild mushroom poisoning knowledge questions ( P <0.05). Conversely, students with a habit of consuming wild mushrooms ( OR=1.52, 95%CI =1.15-2.02) scored lower ( P < 0.05 ). 42.3% of the students suggested that scientific dissemination and publicity about wild mushrooms should be intensified.
Conclusions
The awareness rate of wild mushroom poisoning knowledge among students in Guizhou Province requires further attention. Comprehensive knowledge should be disseminated systematically through various channels to further improve students awareness of the prevention and control of wild mushroom poisoning.
