Isolated male epispadias typically presents with preputial defects and dorsal urethral dehiscence. A less common subtype, known as concealed epispadias, is distinguished by an intact prepuce. Despite its clinical relevance, there is limited literature on this variant. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 86 pediatric patients with isolated male epispadias treated in Beijing Children's Hospital (Beijing, China) from May 2004 to July 2023, including 19 cases of concealed epispadias and 67 of nonconcealed epispadias. We compared clinical characteristics, preoperative diagnostics, surgical techniques, postoperative outcomes, and sexual function during follow-up between the concealed and nonconcealed groups. No significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding surgical methods, postoperative complications, or rates of urinary incontinence. However, notable distinctions were found in the age at initial diagnosis, timing of surgery, frequency of incontinence, location of the urethral meatus, and postoperative urinary incontinence scores (all P < 0.05). Given the absence of penopubic epispadias in concealed cases, we categorized glans and penile epispadias within nonconcealed epispadias as distal epispadias ( n = 40) and subsequently compared them with concealed epispadias cases. The postoperative urinary incontinence scores did not differ significantly between the concealed and distal epispadias groups. These findings suggest that concealed epispadias represents a relatively milder form of the condition, characterized by the absence of penopubic involvement, lower rates of urinary incontinence, and favorable surgical outcomes. However, the intact prepuce in concealed cases underscores the need for careful identification and early diagnosis.

5.Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of common neonatal diseases in primary healthcare institutions: neonatal seizures (2025).
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics 2025;27(6):638-647
Seizures are common clinical emergencies in neonatology, potentially leading to severe complications and directly impacting the neurodevelopmental prognosis of the infants with this condition. For primary healthcare providers, key clinical challenges include standardized emergency management, precise clinical diagnosis and treatment, and accurate assessment of referral indications. To assist primary healthcare providers in the prompt identification and standardized management of neonatal seizures, the Subspecialty Group of Neonatology, Society of Pediatrics, Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of experts to develop the "Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of common neonatal diseases in primary healthcare institutions: neonatal seizures (2025)", based on the latest clinical evidence and expert consensus. This guideline provides primary healthcare providers with 17 recommendations addressing nine common clinical questions in neonatal seizures.

The intelligent oxygen management system is a software designed with various algorithms to automatically titrate inhaled oxygen concentration according to specific patterns. This system can be integrated into various ventilator devices and used during assisted ventilation processes, aiming to maintain the patient's blood oxygen saturation within a target range. This paper employs a scoping review methodology, focusing on research related to intelligent oxygen management systems in neonatal intensive care units. It reviews the fundamental principles, application platforms, and clinical outcomes of these systems, providing a theoretical basis for clinical implementation.

7.Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of common neonatal diseases in primary healthcare institutions: neonatal transport (2025).
Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics 2025;27(7):759-769
Neonatal transport is a crucial aspect of clinical work in neonatology, aimed at timely and safely transferring high-risk neonates from birth facilities or primary healthcare institutions to neonatal centers equipped for critical care. This ensures timely diagnosis and treatment, thereby reducing mortality and complications and improving outcomes. Currently, there is significant regional variation in neonatal transport practices across China. In response, the Subspecialty Group of Neonatology of Society of Pediatrics of Chinese Medical Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics have jointly developed the "Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of common neonatal diseases in primary healthcare institutions: neonatal transport (2025)". This guideline addresses 10 clinical issues related to neonatal transport and formulates 18 recommendations based on the best available evidence and expert consensus. It aims to provide a systematic approach to neonatal transport in primary care settings, tailored to the national context of China, offering guidance and decision-making support for primary healthcare providers.
