Objective:To explore the clinical features, histopathological morphology, and differential diagnosis of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers.Methods:From 2020 to 2021, 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers diagnosed in Fujian Cancer Hospital (2 cases) and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University (2 cases) were collected. Different ancillary procedures such as HE, special stains, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization techniques were used to assess the histopathological features and immunophenotypes. The clinical data were collected and literature was reviewed.Results:All 4 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma with abnormal expression of follicular dendritic cell markers were male. They were 32, 45, 67 and 39 years old, respectively. The main clinical manifestations were bloody phlegm, abdominal pain, fatigue and anorexia. The clinical stages at diagnosis were stage Ⅳ (3 cases) and stage Ⅱ (1 case). Cases 2 and 3 had two pathological examinations at different sites, with a total of six pathological examinations. The histomorphology showed singly scattered or nests of tumor cells in a background of abundant small lymphocytes. The tumor cells were enlarged and pleomorphic, some appeared polygonal with inconspicuous cell borders, and they were arranged in a syncytial pattern. There were megakaryocytes, multinucleated tumor cells, and a few spindle-shaped cells seen. Atypical mitosis was commonly noted. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were positive for CKpan(5/6), CK8/18(4/4), CAM5.2(2/5), CK-H(0/4), CK-L(3/4), EMA(4/5), CK5/6(3/6), p63(1/6), p40(1/6), E-cadherin (4/6), SSTR2(6/6), PD-L1(5/5), LCA(0/6), vimentin(5/6), CD2 (6/6), CD23(6/6), CD35(5/6), CXCL-13(4/5) and D2-40(1/5). The Ki-67 proliferative index was 60%-95%. In situ hybridization for EBER were all positive (6/6). Special stain for reticulin showed positive staining surrounding nests of tumor cells.Conclusions:The expression of follicular dendritic cell markers in lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma is very rare, which may be related to EBV infection. Occasionally, it can overlap with follicular dendritic cell sarcoma by morphology and immunophenotype, which can lead to misdiagnosis. Only by combining clinical information, morphological characteristics and immunophenotype can an appropriate diagnosis be made.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the predictive value of oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) at intensive care unit (ICU) admission on 30-day mortality in patients with sepsis.
METHODS:
A retrospective study was conducted. Patients with sepsis who were hospitalized in the ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from April 2015 to October 2023 were enrolled. The demographic information, comorbidities, sites of infection, vital signs and laboratory test indicators at the time of admission to the ICU, disease severity scores within 24 hours of admission to the ICU, treatment process and prognostic indicators were collected. According to the PaO2/FiO2 at ICU admission, patients were divided into Q1 group (PaO2/FiO2 of 4.1-16.4 cmHg, 1 cmHg ≈ 1.33 kPa), Q2 group (PaO2/FiO2 of 16.5-22.6 cmHg), Q3 group (PaO2/FiO2 of 22.7-32.9 cmHg), and Q4 group (PaO2/FiO2 of 33.0-94.8 cmHg). Differences in the indicators across the four groups were compared. Multifactorial Cox regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between PaO2/FiO2 and 30-day mortality of patients with sepsis. The predictive value of PaO2/FiO2, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) on 30-day prognosis of patients with sepsis was analyzed by receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve).
RESULTS:
A total of 1 711 patients with sepsis were enrolled, including 428 patients in Q1 group, 424 patients in Q2 group, 425 patients in Q3 group, and 434 patients in Q4 group. 622 patients died at 30-day, the overall 30-day mortality was 36.35%. There were statistically significant differences in age, body mass index (BMI), history of smoking, history of alcohol consumption, admission heart rate, respiratory rate, APACHE II score, SOFA score, Glasgow coma score (GCS), site of infection, Combined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), blood lactic acid (Lac), prothrombin time (PT), albumin (Alb), total bilirubin (TBil), pH, proportion of mechanical ventilation, duration of mechanical ventilation, proportion of vasoactive medication used, and maximal concentration, length of ICU stay, hospital stay, incidence of acute kidney injury, in-hospital mortality, 30-day mortality among the four groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, for every 1 cmHg increase in PaO2/FiO2 at ICU admission, the 30-day mortality risk decreased by 2% [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.98, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 0.98-0.99, P < 0.001]. The 30-day mortality risk in the Q4 group was reduced compared with the Q1 group by 41% (HR = 0.59, 95%CI was 0.46-0.76, P < 0.001). The fitted curve showed that a curvilinear relationship between PaO2/FiO2 and 30-day mortality after adjustment for confounders. In the inflection point analysis, for every 1 cmHg increase in PaO2/FiO2 at PaO2/FiO2 < 28.55 cmHg, the risk of 30-day death in sepsis patients was reduced by 5% (HR = 0.95, 95%CI was 0.94-0.97, P < 0.001); when PaO2/FiO2 ≥ 28.55 cmHg, there was no statistically significant association between PaO2/FiO2 and the increase in the risk of 30-day death in sepsis (HR = 1.01, 95%CI was 0.99-1.02, P = 0.512). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for the prediction of 30-day mortality by admission PaO2/FiO2 in ICU sepsis patients was 0.650, which was lower than the predictive ability of the SOFA score (AUC = 0.698) and APACHE II score (AUC = 0.723).
CONCLUSION
In patients with sepsis, PaO2/FiO2 at ICU admission is strongly associated with 30-day mortality risk, alerting healthcare professionals to pay attention to patients with low PaO2/FiO2 for timely interventions.

Objective:To analyze immune reconstitution and influencing factors in HIV infected men who have sex with men (MSM) with access to antiviral therapy (ART) in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi) during 2005-2021.Methods:The data were collected from Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The study subjects were HIV infected MSM with access to the initial ART for ≥24 weeks in Guangxi from 2005 to 2021 and HIV RNA lower than the detection limit within 24 months. The proportion of infected MSM who had immune reconstitution after ART was calculated. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of immune reconstitution. Software SPSS 24.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 3 200 HIV infected MSM were enrolled, in whom 15.56 % (498/3 200) had no immune reconstitution, 14.78% (473/3 200) had moderate immune reconstitution, and the rate of complete immune reconstitution was 69.66% (2 229/3 200). The M ( Q1, Q3) of ART time for immune reconstitution was 12 (5, 27) months. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model analysis results showed that compared with those with initial ART at age ≥30 years, WHO clinical stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ illness, baseline BMI <18.50 kg/m 2 and baseline CD4 +T lymphocyte (CD4) counts <200 cells/μl, HIV infected MSM with initial ART at age <30 years, WHO clinical stageⅠ/Ⅱ illness, baseline BMI≥24.00 kg/m 2 and baseline CD4 counts ≥200 cells/μl were more likely to have complete immune reconstitution. Conclusions:In the HIV infected MSM in Guangxi, failures to achieve moderate and complete immune reconstitution were observed. Surveillance and ART regimen should be improved for key populations, such as those with older age and low baseline CD4 counts.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for the first weaning failure following mandibular distraction osteogenesis in pediatric patients with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS).Methods:Clinical data of pediatric patients with PRS who underwent mandibular distraction osteogenesis from January 2018 to February 2023 were collected, including sex, age, premature birth, birth weight, surgical weight, cleft palate, syndrome type PRS, laryngeal/tracheobronchial malacia, simple congenital heart disease, complex congenital heart disease, preoperative mechanical ventilation, preoperative pulmonary infection, blood albumin concentration, difficulty in tracheal intubation under a visual laryngoscope, surgical duration, postoperative ventilator-associated pneumonia, duration of mechanical ventilation at first weaning, and traction length at first weaning. Children in whom the first postoperative machine withdrawal failed were included in observation group and matched to control cases(control group) in a 1∶4 ratio. The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.05 would enter the logistic regression analysis to stratify the risk factors for postoperative weaning failure. Results:There were significant differences in birth weight, cleft palate, duration of mechanical ventilation and traction length at first weaning, rate of combined cleft palate, preoperative pulmonary infection rate, rate of preoperative mechanical ventilation, and rate of postoperative ventilator-associated pneumonia between the two groups ( P<0.05). Binary logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that the preoperative mechanical ventilation ( OR=18.154, 95% CI 3.971-82.990, P<0.001) and postoperative ventilator-associated pneumonia ( OR=36.942, 95% CI 1.307-1043.985, P=0.034) were independent risk factors for first weaning failure after mandibular distraction osteogenesis, while birth weight gain ( OR=0.225, 95% CI 0.076-0.668, P=0.007) was a protective factor for first weaning failure ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative mechanical ventilation and postoperative ventilator-associated pneumonia are independent risk factors and birth weight gain is a protective factor for first weaning failure following mandibular distraction osteogenesis in pediatric patients with PRS.

RESULTS Totally 14 328 戒。电话:023-63625666。E-mail:jiayuntaomail@hospital.cqmu.edu.cn ARF reports of 4 kinds of β-blockers were retrieved within the ·1380· China Pharmacy 2022Vol. 33 No. 11 中国药房 2022年第33卷第11期 narrow sense of “acute renal failure ”in SMQ term set ,of which men (6 964)were more than women (6 206). The age of patients was mainly concentrated in the middle-aged and elderly (≥45 years old ),and serious adverse events accounted for 77.23%. The results of signal retrieval based on SMQ term set showed that ROR values and 95% confidence intervals of metoprolol ,bisoprolol, atenolol and nebivolol detected by ROR method were 2.58(2.51,2.65),5.30(5.14,5.47),2.80(2.69,2.91)and 3.28(3.04, 3.53)respectively. The signal components (IC)detected by BCPNN method and the lower limit of IC were 1.29(1.25),2.26 (2.22),1.42(1.36)and 1.64(1.53)respectively,suggesting suspicious signals were detected in these four kinds of β-blockers associated ARF. The results of signal detection based on PT level terms showed that 37 positive signals were detected by ROR method,38 positive signals were detected by BCPNN method ,and 36 suspicious signals were detected by the two methods at the same time. For each drug ,12 suspicious signals of metoprolol were detected at the same time ,9 suspicious signals of bisoprolol and atenolol were detected at the same time ,and 6 suspicious signals of nebivolol were detected at the same time ;the number and type of signals were different among the 4 kinds of drug. CONCLUSIONS Four kinds of β-blockers may cause ARF. Compared with metoprolol and atenolol ,bisoprolol and nebivolol have strong statistical correlation with ARF ,suggesting that medical personnel should pay attention to the possible renal related adverse reactions of these drugs in the process of clinical use.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for perioperative atelectasis in pediatric patients undergoing day surgery.Methods:The data of pediatric patients (aged 28 days-7 yr) undergoing elective surgery in our hospital from January 2021 to April 2021 were retrospectively collected.The pediatric patients were divided into atelectasis group and non-atelectasis group according to the results of postoperative ultrasound examination of the lung.The basic conditions and perioperative indicators of the children were recorded, and logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors.Results:A total of 122 pediatric patients were enrolled, there were 68 pediatric patients in atelectasis group, and the incidence of atelectasis was 55.7%.Compared with non-atelectasis group, significant changes were found in the amount of sufentanil, rate of laryngeal mask insertion, and rate of intraoperative inhalation of high-concentration oxygen in atelectasis group ( P<0.05). After adjusting variables such as age, upper respiratory tract infection, and overweight, intraoperative inhalation of high-concentration oxygen (FiO 2>60%) ( OR=2.863, 95% confidence interval 1.148-7.137, P=0.024) and consumption of sufentanil >0.2 μg/kg ( OR=1.214, 95% confidence interval 1.069-1.379, P=0.003) were independent risk factors for perioperative atelectasis in pediatric patients undergoing day surgery. Conclusion:Inhalation of high-concentration oxygen (FiO 2>60%) and consumption of sufentanil >0.2 μg/kg during operation are independent risk factors for perioperative atelectasis in pediatric patients undergoing day surgery.

OBJECTIVETo explore the correlation between 13q33-q34 microdeletion and clinical phenotype.
METHODSRoutine chromosomal banding was performed to analyze the karyotype, while array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH array) and single nucleotide polymorphism array(SNP array) were employed to investigate the genome copy number variations.
RESULTSThe karyotype of patient 1 was 46, XY, 9qh+,13qs. Patient 2 showed 46, XX, der (13). Patient 3 showed 46, XX, r(13) (p11.2q32) [43]/45, XX, 13[4]/46, XX, r(13;13) [2]/47, XX, 2r(13;13) [1]. Patient 4 did not undergo chromosome karyotyping analysis. Array analysis showed that four patients have different microdeletions in 13q33-34 region and had common features of 13q33-q34deletion including intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism, microcephaly, hypotonia, low birth weight and genital abnormality.
CONCLUSIONThe severity of phenotypes showed no correlation with the size of deletion in 13q33-q34. The lower percentage of patients with congenital heart disease suggested a complex pathogenesis of such disease. EFNB2, LIG4 and SOX1 in 13q33-34 region are promising candidates for mental retardation. LIG4 was also a likely candidate for microcephaly.

Objective: To investigate the community promotion feasibility of superficial needling plus club swing for post-stroke motion impairment of the shoulder joint. Methods:A total of 180 cases (duration <1.5 years) with post-stroke motion impairment of the shoulder joint were recruited from three community health centers in Changning District, 60 from each community. They were randomly allocated into an observation group (n=90) and a control group (n=90). Patients in both groups received standard internal and rehabilitation care. Patients in the observation group received additional superficial needling plus club swing. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was conducted before and 60 d after the treatment to evaluate the severity of shoulder pain. The active movement of the shoulder joint and activities of daily living (ADL) were also observed. Results:There were no between-group statistical differences before the treatment (allP>0.05). After a 60-day treatment, the shoulder pain severity, active range of motion of the shoulder joint and ADL in the observation group were significantly improved than those in the control group (allP<0.01). In addition, no adverse events were reported by participants in the observation group. Conclusion:Superficial needling plus club swing plays a positive role in improving post-stroke motion impairment of the shoulder joint. This safe, reliable and economical therapy has good patient compliance and is suitable for community promotion.
