Objective:To investigate the cytopathological features of thyroid tumor with DICER1 mutation.Methods:A retrospective study on the preoperative cell smear was conducted on thyroid tumors with DICER1 gene mutations detected by Sanger sequencing in the Department of Pathology Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from May 2022 to November 2024.Results:Totally 163 cases with histological features indicating DICER1 mutation related thyroid tumor underwent Sanger sequencing. Fifteen cases were confirmed to harbor DICER1 mutation (15/163,9.2%). Fourteen of 15 patients were female, and only 1 was male; average age 42(31,47) years. Eight cases presented with D1709 hotspot mutation (8/15) and 7 cases with the E1813 hotspot mutation (7/15) and there was no statistical significant difference between mutation rate of different hotspot ( F=0.620， P=0.438). All specimens were stained with hematoxylin-eosin staining. A moderate number of cells were observed for all cases, predominantly with macrofollicular pattern and rare small papillae. The cell nuclei were mainly uniform, small, round and dark, slightly enlarged or medium-sized. Several cases could also present RAS-like nuclear features: 3 cases showed visible nuclear grooves. According to the expert consensus on the cytopathological diagnosis of thyroid fine needle aspiration (version 2023),the cytopathological diagnostic categories were: Ⅱ, 6 cases; Ⅲ, 2 cases; Ⅳ, 6 cases; and Ⅴ, 1 case. Postoperative histological diagnoses included follicular thyroid carcinoma in 2 cases, high-grade differentiated thyroid carcinoma in 1 case, follicular thyroid adenoma in 3 cases, follicular thyroid tumor of undetermined malignant potential in 4 case, and thyroid follicular nodular disease in 5 cases. Conclusions:The morphological features of DICER1-mutated thyroid tumors are predominant macrofollicles, with uniformly small round and dark nuclei. It is difficult to identify typically diagnostic atrophic follicles on cell smear, leading to a preoperative diagnosis of benign non-neoplastic or indeterminate category. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully observe the macro-follicles and small round dark nuclear features, which is necessary to suggest a genetic test of DICER1 gene and to confirm the diagnosis before surgery.

The overall health condition of patients significantly affects the diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of endodontic diseases.A systemic consideration of the patient's overall health along with oral conditions holds the utmost importance in determining the necessity and feasibility of endodontic therapy,as well as selecting appropriate therapeutic approaches.This expert consensus is a collaborative effort by specialists from endodontics and clinical physicians across the nation based on the current clinical evidence,aiming to provide general guidance on clinical procedures,improve patient safety and enhance clinical outcomes of endodontic therapy in patients with compromised overall health.

Objective:To develop the intelligent management system for diabetes medication knowledge base with the help of community hospital information platform.Methods:Based on the China Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Guide (2013 edition),National Essential Drugs (2012 edition) and the relevant package inserts,the knowledge base of diabetes medication was established.Results:The information platform could make interception beforehand,warning in the process of medication and provide attentions for physicians after treatment to determine rational medication.Conclusion:The intelligent management system for diabetes medication knowledge base can promote physicians to firmly grasp the principles of drug treatment,simplify treatment regimen,select effective drugs with reasonable prices and provide individualized treatment.

Objective To establish a HEK293 cell line stably and highly expressing sense and antisense Alu-Sx.Methods According to Alu subfamily Sx sequence,a pair of primers containing the sites for given restrictive endonuclease at both ends were designed and synthesized.PCR of the total DNA extracted from HEK293 cell line was performed,the products of which were cloned into a highly efficient eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1/myc-His A.The recombinants were sequenced and identified by restrictive endonuclease digestion and then transfected into the HEK293 cell line by lipofectamine2000.The stable transfectants were screened by G418.Cell subclones were isolated by gradient dilution.The highly expressing clones were identified by Northern blotting.Results Eukaryotic expressing vectors stably and efficiently expressing sense and antisense Alu-Sx were constructed and cell subclones stably and efficiently expressing sense and antisense Alu-Sx were established.Conclusion Cell subclones stably and efficiently expressing sense and antisense Alu-Sx can used for our further study.
