BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by age-inappropriate inattention, excessive activities incongruous with setting, and emotional impulsivity. Subthreshold ADHD (sADHD) is clinically defined as the presence of ADHD symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Children with sADHD exhibit deficits in executive function, demonstrate more conduct, learning, and anxiety-related problems compared to typically developing children, and show even poorer working memory performance than children diagnosed with ADHD. Currently, there is limited epidemiological research on sADHD in China, with few studies simultaneously investigating the prevalence of both ADHD and sADHD in children. ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of ADHD and sADHD among children aged 6–13 years in Chongqing, analyzing their distribution characteristics within this population, with the aim of providing references for developing preventive measures against both ADHD and sADHD. MethodsFrom October to November 2023, a total of 3 398 students in grades 1–6 from six primary schools in Jiangbei District, Chongqing were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The occurrence of ADHD and sADHD was evaluated by using the short version (18-item version) of the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham IV rating scales (SNAP-IV) and the Chinese vision of Schedule for Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia for School-aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). ResultsThe ADHD detection rate among children in Chongqing was 1.90% (95% CI: 0.014–0.024). Boys showed a significantly higher ADHD detection rate than girls (χ2=7.733, P=0.005). No statistically significant differences were found in ADHD detection rates across different grades or age groups (χ2=7.347, 12.362, P>0.05). The sADHD detection rate was 6.32% (95% CI: 0.054–0.072). Similarly, boys exhibited significantly higher sADHD detection rates than girls (χ2=21.005, P<0.01). Significant differences emerged across different grades (χ2=20.559, P=0.001), while no statistically significant difference was observed in age groups (χ2=12.070, P=0.060). ConclusionThe ADHD detection rates were comparable across all grade levels and age groups from 6–13 years old. Second-grade children demonstrated notably higher sADHD rates compared to other grades, while boys demonstrated higher prevalence rates than girls for both ADHD and sADHD.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of Crohn′s disease (CD).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 52 CD patients who underwent surgical resection at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2014 and June 2023. Clinical presentations and histopathological features were assessed. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on 17 of the samples, followed by sequencing and pathway enrichment analyses. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression of frequently mutated genes.Results:Among the 52 patients, 34 were males and 18 were females, male-to-female ratio was 1.9∶1.0, with a median age of 45 years at surgery and 35 years at diagnosis. According to the Montreal classification, A3 (51.9%,27/52), B2 (61.5%, 32/52), and L3 (50.0%,26/52) subtypes were the most predominant. Abdominal pain and diarrhea were the common symptoms. Histopathological features seen in all 52 patients included transmural inflammation, disruption of cryptal architecture, lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, varying degrees of submucosal fibrosis and thickening, increased enteric nerve fibers and neuronal proliferation. Mucosal defects, fissure ulcers, abscesses, pseudopolyps, and adenomatous proliferation were also observed in 51 (98.1%), 38 (73.1%), 28 (53.8%), 45 (86.5%), and 28 (53.8%) cases, respectively. Thirty-one (59.6%) cases had non-caseating granulomas, and 3 (5.8%) cases had intestinal mucosal glandular epithelial dysplasia. Molecular analysis showed that 12/17 CD patients exhibited mutations in at least one mucin family gene (MUC2, MUC3A, MUC4, MUC6, MUC12, MUC17), and MUC4 was the most frequently mutated in 7/17 of cases. Immunohistochemical stains showed reduced MUC4 expression in epithelial cells, with increased MUC4 expression in the epithelial surface, particularly around areas of inflammatory cell aggregation; and minimal expression in the lower half of the epithelium.Conclusions:CD exhibits diverse clinical and pathological features, necessitating a comprehensive multidimensional analysis for diagnosis. Mutations and expression alterations in mucin family genes, particularly MUC4, may play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of CD.

Blended teaching can promote the learning engagement of students and enhance their experience by combining online independent learning and offline class learning. We applied blended teaching in the course of Histology and Embryology in the large class of 147 nursing undergraduates in Chongqing Medical University. First, the teaching method was designed by a pre-course survey, and online resources were constructed. Second, students' online learning activities and group discussions were guided by a learning map. Then, flipped classes were carried out in offline class hours. Finally, an end-of-course survey and final exam scores were used evaluate the effectiveness of blended teaching. A total of 142 valid questionnaires were returned; 123 students (86.6%) approved of the effectiveness of blended teaching, 133 students (93.7%) showed improved abilities in various aspects, and 79 students (55.6%) were able to complete their online learning tasks in fewer hours than required for face-to-face lectures. The final exam results showed that the average score of blended teaching class increased by 3.5 points compared with that of the traditional face-to-face lecture class. In conclusion, blended teaching in Histology and Embryology in the large class can achieve good learning and teaching effects and thus holds promise for application.

Objective:To observe the effect of supplementing vacuum sealing drainage with hyperbaric oxygen in the short term treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.Methods:A total of 156 persons diagnosed with diabetic foot ulcers were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, each of 78. Both groups received life guidance and active treatment to lower blood sugar and lipids, as well as anti-infection treatment guided by bacterial cultures. Both groups′ wounds were debrided. The wound was then covered with foam, sealed, and negative pressure of -75 to -100mmHg was applied during 1 week of drainage. Two courses of this treatment were applied. In addition, the treatment group received hyperbaric oxygen daily during the two weeks. The exposure pressure was incrased to 0.25MPa over 15min with 100% oxygen. That was inhaled in two 30min sessions with a 10min interval. The pressure then decompressed at a constant rate for 25 minutes. Wound healing, hemorheology, wound granulation tissue staining and any changes in TGF-β1 were observed before as well as after 7 and 14 days of the treatment.Results:The average wound size and symptom score of both groups had improved significantly after the treatment, with the largest effect in the treatment group during the first week. Both groups′ hemorheology had improved significantly after one week, but the treatment group′s improvement was greater. After 2 weeks, however, there was no significant difference in the average hemorheologic indicators for either group compared with before the treatment. Hematoxylin-eosin staining of the wound tissues showed that there were many inflamed cells before the treatment, with relatively little fresh granulation tissue or new blood vessels. After one week of treatment much new granulation tissue was observed under the microscope in both groups, with no significant difference between them. One week later, there was still much granulation tissue in the control group, but slightly less in the treatment group. The ave-rage post-treatment TGF-β1 protein levels in the wound tissues of both groups were significantly higher than before the treatment, but after two weeks the average TGF-β1 protein level had decreased significantly in the treatment group compared with the control group.Conclusions:One week of hyperbaric oxygen treatment can effectively improve the hemorheology of persons with diabetic foot ulcers, promote the proliferation of granulation tissue and fibroblasts, and increase the level of TGF-β1 protein in the wound tissues. However, the effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment weaken gradually with time.

Objective:To explore the application effect of segmented teaching combined with Kirkpatrick model evaluation in the teaching of specialized nurses of peripherally implanted central venous catheter (PICC).Methods:A total of 60 trainees in the PICC specialized nurse training class in PICC Clinic of Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from June 2020 to September 2020 were selected in the study, and they were randomly divided into a control group and a study group, with 30 nurses in each group. The control group conducted traditional training for PICC specialized nurses, and the research group used segmented teaching. After training, the Kirkpatrick model was used to evaluate the response level, learning level, behavior level and result level of the training effect of the two groups of PICC specialized nurses. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:Through the segmented teaching training, the evaluation results of the Kirkpatrick model showed that the effect of the PICC specialized nurse training was significantly better in the study group than that in the control group in terms of response level, learning level, behavior level and result level. The study group's satisfaction with the training program and teaching content scored higher than that of the control group, with statistically significance ( P<0.001). The research group nurses' mastery of theoretical knowledge and practical skills and humanistic care scores were higher than those of the control group, with significant differences ( P<0.001). After the training, the self-behavior assessment scores of the two groups increased, and the improvement of the research group was more obvious. When the nurses of the research group returned to the hospital clinical work after training, their professional identity, PICC teaching and guidance ability, treatment, nursing service quality, the recognition of patient and family members and the effectiveness of the department were improved to varying degrees, the corresponding measures could be carried out in the hospital, and the development of PICC technology was promoted. Conclusion:The combination of segmented teaching and Kirkpatrick model evaluation can effectively meet the training needs of PICC specialized nurses and make a full range of effect evaluations to improve the quality of PICC specialized nursing services.

Objective:
To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL).
Methods:
A total of 12 specimens were collected, which were surgically resected and verified as MEITL by postoperative pathology, immumohistochemical staining and gene rearrangement at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2012 to 2018, and all of these had complete clinical and pathological data. The MEITL cases were reviewed to compare the clinicopathological characteristics, including morphologic and immunophenotypic features and followed up by telephone and clinic visit.
Results:
All the cases were diagnosed with MEITL. There were 8 males and 4 females. Male to female ratio was 2∶1, at a median age of 54 years. The sites of involvement included jejunum (4 cases), ileum (5 cases), duodenum (1 case), ileocecal junction (1 case) and rectum (1 case). The neoplastic cells were monotonous of small to intermediate cells in size with round to slightly irregular nuclei in 11 cases. The immunophenotyping showed that CD3 (12/12), CD8 (11/12), CD43 (11/12), CD56 (11/12), TIA-1 (12/12) were positive; CD5 (12/12), Gran B (9/12), and perforin (7/12) were negative. Two cases aberrantly expressed the B-cell marker CD20. A high proliferation index was demonstrated by Ki-67 immunostaining. In situ hybridization for EBER was all negative(12/12). The whole exome sequencing(WES) mutational landscape of MEITL was remarkably homogeneous, showing significantly enriched clusters among histone modifier genes, JAK-STAT and MAPK-signal pathways. Histonelysine N-methytransferase SETD2 gene was mutated in 2/4 tumors. All the patients analyzed harbored at least one mutation in the JAK-STAT signal pathway, including STAT5B (2/4), JAK3 (3/4) and STAT5A (2/4). Furthermore, frequent alterations (TP53) were observed in the MAPK pathway in 3/4 of MEITL cases. The CNV analysis derived from WES data identified multiple regions of frequent gains and losses. In particular, gains in 1q, 7q and 9q, and recurrent losses involving 7p and 8p were observed.
Conclusions
MEITL is a rare and aggressive type of extranodal T-cell lymphoma. The differential diagnosis of MEITL includes EATL, extranodal NT/T-cell lymphoma and other types of PTCL. Diagnosis should be correlated to clinical symptoms while the final diagnosis is mainly based on the pathological features, immunophenotypes and genetic testing.

Objective:To study the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of bronchiolar adenoma (BA).Methods:Fifteen cases of BA were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from January 2016 to October 2019. The clinical data, imaging examination, morphology, immunostaining and molecular changes were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 3 males, 12 females, most of the patients were female, mainly in middle-aged to elderly (51-77 years). Three had smoking history. The patients usually had no clinical symptoms. Imaging findings were ground-glass and/or lobulated nodules. Grossly, the tumors were gray-whitish, taupe solid or focally microcystic nodules with distinct boundary but no capsule. The maximum diameter was 0.4-2.5?cm (mean 1.0?cm). Histologically, there were glandular, papillary, or flat patterns that were composed of basal cells, mucous cells, ciliated cells and type Ⅱ pneumocytes, some of which showed basal cell proliferation and squamous cell metaplasia. However, there were some cases with few or even without mucous and/or ciliated cells. Immunostaining highlighted the continuous basal cell layer (positive for p63, p40 and cytokeratin 5/6), which was the most important diagnostic evidence. Genetic tests did not show mutation in BRAF or EGFR genes. All patients were followed up for 1-41 months, and they were without recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions:BA is a benign neoplasm that develops in the peripheral lung with good prognosis. Definite diagnosis is very crucial for surgical treatment, especially in frozen consultation. Immunohistochemistry will be helpful if necessary.
