Fetal adenocarcinoma of the lung(FLAC)is a rare tumor.Due to its different clinicopathological fea-tures,biological behavior and clinical outcome,FLAC is classified into low-grade FLAC(L-FLAC)and high-grade FLAC(H-FLAC).Most patients with H-FLAC are middle-aged heavy smokers.Here,we describe an extremely rare case of a young male patient who denies smoking and initially presents with a mass on the top of the head and is eventually diagnosed with H-FLAC.The aim of this article is to improve the understanding and awareness of FLAC,and increase the attention to the disease,so as to prevent the underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of the disease,strengthen early identification and accurate diagnosis,and pro-mote subsequent effective treatment and improve prognosis.

Objective To investigate the knowledge,attitude and practice of nurses from hospitals in Tibet Autonomous Region on the use of peripheral venous needle and analyze the influencing factors.Methods Utilizing a convenience sampling approach,we conducted a survey from November to December 2023 involving 1 319 nurses from 62 hospitals across 7 cities(regions)of Tibet Autonomous Region.Custom-made electronic questionnaires were utilized.Results A total of 1 320 questionnaires were collected,of which 1 319 were valid,with an effective response rate of 99.92％.The scores of nurses'knowledge,attitude and practice were 46.24±13.68,79.75±10.30,and 60.38±14.15,respectively.808(61.26％)nurses had received relevant training experience.The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of nurses'knowledge of peripheral venous indwelling needle included whether they had received training experience,ethnicity,education background,professional title,department and hospital region(P＜0.05).Training experience,ethnicity,educational background,profession title and hospital region were the influence factors of nurses'attitude of venous indwelling needle(P＜0.05).Whether they had received training,ethnicity,education background,department and hospital region were the influencing factors of nurses'practice of peripheral venous indwelling needle(P＜0.05).Conclusion Nurses from hospitals in Tibet Autonomous Region have a good attitude towards using venous indwelling needle.However,the knowledge level is not ideal and the practice is still needed to be improved.Nursing managers should implement targeted training and enrich the training form and content,so as to meet the needs of nurses and to improve the quality of intravenous therapy in the Tibet Autonomous Region.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of hepatitis B prevention and control in Tibet Autonomous Region by comparative analysis of the results of seroepidemiological surveys of hepatitis B in 2014 and 2020.Methods:The required sample size was calculated based on the estimated HBsAg positivity rates of permanent residents aged 1-4, 5-14, 15-29, and 30-69 years. A total of 7 163 people and 4 802 people were required in 2014 and 2020, respectively. The subjects were selected by stratified multistage cluster random sampling method, using questionnaires to obtain basic information, and 5 ml of venous blood was collected from each subject to detect HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HBc, and rechecked the HBsAg positive samples. SPSS 22.0 software was used to analyze the survey results, calculate the positive rate and 95% confidence interval.Results:A total of 7 069 people were investigated in 2014 and 4 913 people in 2020. In 2020, the positive rate of HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HBc was 9.20% (452/4 913), 37.11% (1 823/4 913), and 32.75% (1 609/4 913), respectively, and decreased by 22.95%, 15.54%, and 1.92% as compared with the rate in 2014. The positive rate of HBsAg of people aged 1-, 5-, 15- and 30-69 years in 2020 was 2.23% (8/358), 2.85% (20/701), 6.86% (69/1 006) and 12.46%(355/2 848), respectively, decreased by 61.82%, 62.75%, 54.81% and 24.21% as compared with the rate in 2014. The positive rate of anti-HBs of people aged 1-4 years was 52.79% (189/358), 10.30% increased compared with 2014; for people aged 5-, 15-, and 30-69 years was 32.67% (229/701), 37.67% (379/1 006) and 36.03%(1 026/2 848), respectively, decreased by 20.84%, 14.13% and 16.52% as compared with the rate in 2014. The positive rate of anti-HBc of people aged 1-, 5-, 15-, 30-69 years was 4.19% (15/358), 6.42%(45/701), 21.07% (212/1 006), and 46.95% (1 337/2 848), respectively, decreased by 59.63%, 58.93%, 50.49%, and 12.10% as compared with the rate in 2014.Conclusions:The prevention and control of hepatitis B in Tibet have made partial achievements. The prevalence of HBsAg among people aged 1-69 years in 2020 had declined compared with 2014, but it is still at a high epidemic level. People have a high risk of HBV infection for a low level of anti-HBs. It is necessary to strengthen the vaccination of hepatitis B further and effectively implement the strategy of blocking mothers and children of the hepatitis B virus.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and risk factors of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) in high altitude areas and their influence on maternal and infant outcomes.Methods:This was a retrospective case-control study. A total of 220 newborns were selected as the high altitude group, who were born to 216 mothers with HDP and admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Lhasa People's Hospital from June 1, 2018, to June 1, 2020. The low altitude group consisted of 235 newborns born to 231 mothers with HDP and admitted to the Department of Neonatology of the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Beijing Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2021. Differences in the types of HDP between the two groups and the risk factors for the high incidence of preeclampsia-eclampsia and early-onset preeclampsia in high altitude area were analyzed. The influences of HDP in high and low altitude areas on maternal and infant outcomes were compared. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson Chi-square test, or continuous correction Chi-square test, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results:Maternal age and the proportions of primiparae and women of advanced age or having irregular prenatal examination were greater in the high altitude group than those in the low altitude group (all P<0.05). Besides, the incidence of early-onset preeclampsia, eclampsia, preeclampsia-eclampsia, and chronic hypertension complicated by preeclampsia were also higher in the high altitude group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high altitude was a risk factor for the development of preeclampsia-eclampsia ( OR=4.437, 95% CI:2.582-7.626). Adverse pregnancy history ( OR=2.576, 95% CI:1.217-5.452) and irregular prenatal examination ( OR=2.862, 95% CI:1.412-5.800) were independent risk factors for early-onset preeclampsia in pregnant women in high altitude areas. Twin-pregnancy was a protective factor for early-onset preeclampsia in pregnant women in high altitude areas ( OR=0.183, 95% CI: 0.054-0.623). The incidence of maternal heart failure [7.9% (17/216) vs 0.4% (1/231), χ2=15.98], placental abruption [7.9% (17/216) vs 3.5% (8/231), χ2=4.11], hemolysis, elevated liver function and low platelet count syndrome [14.4% (31/216) vs 1.7% (4/231), χ2=24.64], premature delivery [86.1% (118/216) vs 73.6% (170/231), χ2=10.79], fetal growth restriction [52.3% (115/220) vs 18.7% (44/235), χ2=56.26], fetal distress [18.2% (40/220) vs 8.1% (19/235), χ2=10.26], neonatal asphyxia [29.5% (65/220) vs 11.1% (26/235), χ2=24.26], severe asphyxia [8.6% (19/220) vs 2.6% (6/235), χ2=8.10] and the proportion of neonates requiring mechanical ventilation within 24 h after birth [69.5% (153/220) vs 42.6% (100/235), χ2=33.54] as well as neonatal death within 7 d after birth [5.5% (12/220) vs 1.3% (3/235), χ2=6.22] in the high altitude group were significantly higher than those in the low altitude group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:High altitude is a risk factor for preeclampsia-eclampsia, and the adverse effects of HDP on mothers and infants are more severe in high altitude areas.

Objective:To observe and evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the treatment of eyes with macular edema (ME) secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in Lhasa, Tibet.Methods:A retrospective case series. From September 2018 to January 2022, a total of 41 patients (41 eyes) with BRVO-ME, who were diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology of Tibet Autonomous Region People’s Hospital, were included in this study. There were 21 eyes in 21 males and 20 eyes in 20 females. The median age was 53 (31,75) years. There were 24 patients with hypertension (58.8%, 24/41). Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), ocular pressure, fundus color photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed in all eyes. The BCVA was performed using the international standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) BCVA for record. The foveal macular thickness (CMT) was measured by OCT. All eyes were treated with intravitreous injection of anti-VEGF drugs, once a month, among which 23 eyes (56.1%, 23/41) received intravitreous injection of ranibizumab (IVR), and 18 eyes (43.9%, 18/41) received intravitreous injection of conbercept (IVC), and were grouped accordingly. There was no significant difference in age ( Z=-0.447), gender composition ( Z=-0.485), logMAR BCVA ( t=-1.591), intraocular pressure ( t=-0.167) and CMT ( t=-1.290) between two groups ( P>0.05). During the follow-up, the same devices and methods were used at baseline to perform relevant examinations, and the changes of BCVA, intraocular pressure, CMT and new cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events were compared between baseline and the last follow-up. logMAR BCVA, intraocular pressure and CMT were compared between baseline and last follow-up using Student t test. The comparison of injection times and follow-up time between IVR group and IVC group was conducted by Mann-Whitney U test. Results:At baseline, logMAR BCVA, intraocular pressure, and CMT were 0.852±0.431, (12.5±2.5) mm Hg (1 mm Hg= 0.133 kPa), and (578.1±191.1) μm, respectively. At the last follow-up, the number of anti-VEGF drug treatments was (2.7±1.2) times; logMAR BCVA and CMT were 0.488±0.366 and (207.4±108.7) μm, respectively, with CMT > 250 μm in 14 eyes (34.1%, 14/41). Compared with baseline, BCVA ( t=4.129) and CMT ( t=-0.713) were significantly improved, with statistical significance ( P<0.001). The injection times of IVR group and IVC group were (2.6±0.9) and (3.0±1.5) times, respectively. There were no significant differences in the number of injection times ( t=-1.275), logMAR BCVA ( t=-0.492), intraocular pressure ( t=0.351) and CMT ( t=-1.783) between the two groups ( P>0.05). No new hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events occurred in all patients during follow-up. At the last follow-up, there were no eye complications related to treatment modalities and drugs. Conclusion:Short-term anti-VEGF treatment can improve the visual acuity of BRVO secondary ME patients and alleviate ME in Lhasa, Tibet. The safety and efficacy of ranibizumab and conbercept were similar.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics and prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:The clinicopathological data of 152 DLBCL patients receiving consultation and routine physical examination in Peking University Third Hospital and Peking University School of Basic Medicine from January 2008 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of CD10, bcl-6, MUM1, GCET1, FOXP1. EB virus encoded small RNA (EBV-EBER) was detected by using in situ hybridization. The aberrations of bcl-2, bcl-6 and c-myc genes were detected by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to screen double-hit lymphoma (DHL). Kaplan-Meier method was used to make survival analysis.Results:Among 152 cases of DLBCL, the ratio of male to female was 1.49:1, the median age of onset was 59 years (7-90 years), and 79 cases (52.0%) were primary lymph nodes. The median overall survival (OS) time of all cases was 16 months (1-101 months). The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 70.2%, 44.7%, 30.3%, respectively. The OS of R-CHOP treatment group was better than that of CHOP treatment group and untreated group ( P = 0.001). Among all 137 patients receiving double-hit histochemistry score (DHS), there were 56 cases with 0 score, 57 cases with 1 score, 24 cases with 2 scores; and the difference in the OS of different DHS score groups ( P = 0.311). FISH detection showed that among 29 cases achieving results of c-myc gene detection, there were 2 cases of splitting gene and 3 cases of gene amplification; among 26 cases achieving results of bcl-2 gene detection, 2 cases had bcl-2 gene amplification; among 26 cases achieving results of bcl-6 gene detection, 2 cases had bcl-6 gene amplification and 3 cases had splitting gene. It was found that myc and bcl-2 genes were amplified simultaneously in 1 case, accompanied with bcl-6 gene splitting, which was called triple-hit lymphoma. In DHS 0-score group, 1 case of double gene abnormality was found, and 1 case of single gene abnormality was found in group 1-score; in group 2-score, 5 cases were single gene abnormality and 1 case was three gene abnormality, so the gene abnormality was inconsistent with the protein expression. Conclusions:The incidence of DHL in DLBCL patients in China is low. The major gene abnormalities are c-myc or bcl-2, bcl-6 single gene abnormalities.

In 2006, 2014 and 2020, the positive rates of HBsAg in 560, 384 and 402 children aged 1 to 14 years were 4.5%, 2.6% and 2.5%, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (P>0.05). The positive rate of anti-HBs was highest in 2014 (57.8%) and lowest in 2006 (34.1%) (P<0.05). The positive rate of anti-HBc was highest in 2006 (15.7%), and decreased in 2014 (7.8%) and 2020 (5.7%) (P<0.001). The timely rate of the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine for children in Lhasa in 2006, 2014 and 2020 was 7.7% (43/560), 50.3% (193/384) and 94.8% (381/402), respectively. The overall vaccination rates were 15.4% (86/560), 35.2% (135/384) and 96.0% (386/402), respectively, showing a trend of gradual increases (χtrend values were 718.63 and 589.59, both P values<0.001).

Objective:To summarize the repair experience and clinical characteristics of cleft lip and palate in Tibet.Methods:From August 2020 to August 2021, patients with cleft lip and palate treated during the period of corresponding author aid to Tibet were included. The American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) was used to assess the anesthesia risk before operation. For the cleft lip repair, Millard rotation advancement technique and reconstruction of nasal-labial muscle tension lines group were used. Modified Von Langenbeck technique was adopted for cleft palate repair. The amount of blood loss and short-term postoperative complications such as hematoma, infection, wound dehiscence, flap circulation disorder and palatal fistula were counted. The Likert five-point scale was used to evaluate the surgical satisfaction of patients with cleft lip and the audiometric evaluation method was used to assess the improvement of cleft palate speech. The data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 20.0 software. The measurement data were expressed by Mean±SD. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 46 patients were included, including 26 males and 20 females, aged from 2 to 57 years, with a median of 32 years. There were 36 patients with cleft lip or secondary deformities after cleft lip surgery and 10 patients with cleft palate. Among the 46 cases, ASA Ⅰ was 39, and ASA Ⅱ, ASA Ⅲ were 5 and 2, respectively. There were 5 patients with congenital heart disease, including 2 cases of patent ductus arteriosus and 3 cases of patent foramen ovale. Pulmonary hypertension was found in 8 cases. The average blood loss during the repair of cleft lip and cleft palate was 30 ml and 50 ml, respectively. No postoperative complications such as hematoma, infection, wound dehiscence and palatal fistula occurred. The patients were followed up for 6 to 24 weeks, with an average of 8 weeks. The crista philtra point on the affected side of the patients with cleft lip was fully lowered and was basically symmetrical with the healthy side. The bilateral nostril symmetry was significantly improved compared with that before surgery, and the nasal columella was in the middle. The cleft palate was all closed and the mobility of soft palate was improved. All patients were satisfied with the surgical results, with an average satisfaction score of 4.5. The mean preoperative speech score of patients undergoing cleft palate repair was 1.4 ± 0.5 and the postoperative was 4.3 ± 0.5 ( t=16.16, P<0.001). Conclusion:Compared with the plain area, patients with cleft lip and palate in Tibet have the characteristics such as delayed treatment, the complex of deformity and often combined with other congenital organ malformation. In order to get good result and higher satisfaction rate, it is recommended to use classical surgical technique for the above deformity repair. It is also important to carefully evaluate the risk of general anesthesia.

Objective:To explore the prognostic indicators and influencing factors of neonatal asphyxia in Tibet.Methods:From March 2019 to March 2020, the clinical data of 126 asphyxiated newborns admitted to the neonatology department of Lhasa People's Hospital were retrospectively studied. According to the prognosis, they were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group, and the clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared. The predictive value of Apgar score after birth, arterial blood gas analysis within 6 hours [pH, alkali residue (BE)] and their combined detection on the prognosis of asphyxiated newborns was analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors affecting the prognosis of asphyxiated newborns.Results:31 cases (24.6%) in the poor prognosis group and 95 cases (75.4%) in the good prognosis group. The Apgar score at 1, 5 and 10 minutes after birth and pH and BE within 6 hours in the poor prognosis group were significantly lower than those in the good prognosis group (all P<0.05). The incidence of meconium stained amniotic fluid, fetal intrauterine distress, brain damage, lung damage, myocardial damage, kidney damage, abnormal coagulation function and multiple organ damage after asphyxia in the good prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the good prognosis group (all P<0.05). The Apgar score at the 1, 5 and 10 minutes after birth combined with arterial blood gas analysis (pH and BE) within 6 hours after birth had high predictive value for the prognosis of asphyxiated newborns, with the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.79, sensitivity of 68.4% and specificity of 90.3%. Multivariate regression analysis showed that meconium stained amniotic fluid ( OR=4.501, 95% CI: 1.262-16.056), lung damage ( OR=5.004, 95% CI: 1.007-24.866) and brain damage ( OR=10.786, 95% CI: 2.726-42.673) were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of neonatal asphyxia ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In Tibet, there are many factors affecting the poor prognosis of neonatal asphyxia. High attention and intervention should be given to mothers in perinatal period and asphyxiated newborns in order to reduce the incidence of poor prognosis of neonatal asphyxia.
