A 51-year-old male presented with nasal obstruction, followed by progressive hearing loss and blurred vision. Imaging identified space-occupying lesions in the paranasal sinuses, orbits, and paraspinal regions, while laboratory tests confirmed positive anti-proteinase 3 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(PR3- ANCA) immunoglobulin G (IgG)and markedly elevated serum IgG4. Despite treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and radiotherapy, the patient exhibited steroid dependency with relentless disease progression. Following multidisciplinary consultation, a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) coexisting with ANCA- associated vasculitis (AAV) was favored, though IgG4-related disease remained a critical differential. Ultimately, profound immunosuppression precipitated a severe herpesvirus infection, leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. This case underscores the rarity and diagnostic complexity of concurrent IMT and AAV, highlights the therapeutic dilemma of balancing primary disease control against fatal opportunistic infections, and emphasizes the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of prevalence of hand eczema(HE)among the health care workers,explore the influencing factors and analyze the association with hand hygiene.METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted for the health care workers.The health care workers who had HE were followed up by the dermatology department and were completed the assessment of severity.Logistic regression analysis was per-formed for the influencing factors.RESULTS The questionnaires were distributed to the health care workers of Shanghai First Peoples Hospital in Jul.2024,and 659 valid questionnaires were recycled.The prevalence rate of HE by self-report was 37.03％in recent almost one year.The finger and dorsal hand were the predilection sites of skin damage,with the symptom dominated by itching;dryness,desquamation and vesicles were the primary man-ifestations of skin damage,most of which(64.81％)were moderate.Wearing gloves in work environment and contact with hand sanitizer and disinfectants could make the HE symptoms ever more severe.The use of hand san-itizer/frequent hand washing with soap lye and prolonged glove-wearing were the leading causes of HE.The nurses were dominant among the health care workers with HE(P=0.003),and the proportion of those with allergic his-tory was even higher(P＜0.001).As for the health care workers who washed hands for surgeries,high volume of daily surgical procedures(OR=1.325,95％CI:1.121 to 1.567)and glove-wearing duration more than 120 min(OR=3.177,95％CI:1.087 to 9.281)were the risk factors for HE.As for the common hand-washing health care workers,daily hand washing more than 15 times(OR=3.199,95％CI:1.014 to 10.137),glove-wearing dura-tion more than 120 min(OR=2.216,95％CI:1.117 to 4.391)and use of powdered latex glove(OR=1.591,95％CI:1.058 to 2.390)were the risk factors for HE.CONCLUSION The prevalence rate of HE is high among the health care workers.It is necessary to attach great importance to the hand skin health of the health care work-ers and take comprehensive intervention measures for prevention of HE such as optimization of hand hygiene pro-cedure,enhancement of barrier protection and stress on occupational health education so as to achieve the dual goals of infection control and skin health.

Objective To analyze the active screening results on bacteria from neonates from different sources in the neonatal ward of a tertiary general hospital in Shanghai,provide a basis for the prevention and control of neo-natal infections.Methods The monitoring results of active screening on all neonates admitted to the neonatal ward of the hospital from 2017 to 2023 were collected retrospectively.Changes in bacterial detection among neonates ad-mitted from the obstetrics department and the community were compared and analyzed.Results From 2017 to 2023,a total of 4 265 neonates were admitted to the hospital,including 3 339 from department of obstetrics(obste-trics source group)and 926 from community(community source group).Active screening showed that 490 and 572 neonates were detected with bacteria,respectively.Bacterial detection rate of neonates in obstetrics source group was lower than community source group(14.68％vs 61.77％,P＜0.001);detection rates of bacteria from pha-rynx and umbilical site of neonates in community source group were both higher than obstetrics source group(both P＜0.001);detection rate of bacteria from neonates'umbilical site was higher than that from pharynx of both ob-stetrics source group and community source group(both P＜0.001).A total of 1 348 bacterial strains were detec-ted,detection rates of Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus epidermidis,Enterococcus faecalis,Streptococcus agalac-tiae,and Acinetobacter baumannii in the obstetrics source group were all higher than community source group(all P＜0.05),detection rates of Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacter cloacae in the obstetrics source group were both lower than community source group(both P＜0.05).66 neonates were detected multidrug-resistant organism(MDRO),14 were from obstetrics source group and 52 from community source group,63 neonates were detected methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA).The detection rates of MDRO and MRSA from community source group were both higher than obstetrics source group(both P＜0.001);detection rate of MDRO from neo-nates'umbilical site was higher than that from the pharynx of the community source group(P＜0.001).Conclusion Bacteria detected in the obstetrics source group is mainly Escherichia coli,while that detected from community source group is mainly Staphylococcus aureus.MRSA is the main MDRO from neonates,and bacterial screening of neonates admitted from the community should be strengthened to prevent and control the spread of MDRO,espe-cially community-acquired MRSA in neonatal wards.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Hematologic malignancies,such as lymphoma,myeloma,and myeloid neoplasms,can occur in extramedullary tissues.Traditional histopathological morphology and immunohistochemical staining have lim-itations,including time-consuming specimen processing,prolonged reporting cycles,and relatively low sensi-tivity in cases of limited cell numbers.Flow cytometry offers significant advantages in detecting tissue sam-ples,such as rapid processing,shorter reporting cycles,and high accuracy and sensitivity,making it an effective complement to histopathological and immunohistochemical methods.However,the application of flow cytome-try in tissue sample detection currently lacks standardized protocols for sample collection and preservation,single-cell suspension preparation,antibody panel design for limited samples,data analysis,and result repor-ting.To promote the standardized application of flow cytometry in detecting hematologic tumor cells in tissue samples,the Cell Analysis Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Biotechnology organized experts to develop the Chinese Expert Consensus on Flow Cytometry for Detecting Hematologic Tumor Cells in Tis-sue Samples(hereinafter referred to as the Consensus).This Consensus elaborates on the technical aspects of flow cytometry for tissue sample detection,covering sample processing,antibody panel design,data analysis,reporting content,and quality management.It particularly emphasizes recommended antibody panels and data analysis methods for flow cytometry when tissue sample cell counts are low.This article aims to interpret the key points of the Consensus to facilitate its better application in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality based on the 10-year population-based multicenter prospective study. METHODS: A general population-based multicenter prospective study was conducted at four sites in rural China between 2013 and 2023. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to assess the association between BMI and mortality. Stratified analyses were performed based on the individual characteristics of the participants. RESULTS: Overall, 19,107 participants with a sum of 163,095 person-years were included and 1,910 participants died. The underweight (< 18.5 kg/m ²) presented an increase in all-cause mortality (adjusted hazards ratio [ aHR] = 2.00, 95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.66-2.41), while overweight (≥ 24.0 to < 28.0 kg/m ²) and obesity (≥ 28.0 kg/m ²) presented a decrease with an aHR of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.52-0.73) and 0.51 (95% CI: 0.37-0.70), respectively. Overweight ( aHR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.67-0.86) and mild obesity ( aHR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.59-0.87) had a positive impact on mortality in people older than 60 years. All-cause mortality decreased rapidly until reaching a BMI of 25.7 kg/m ² ( aHR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.98) and increased slightly above that value, indicating a U-shaped association. The beneficial impact of being overweight on mortality was robust in most subgroups and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION This study provides additional evidence that overweight and mild obesity may be inversely related to the risk of death in individuals older than 60 years. Therefore, it is essential to consider age differences when formulating health and weight management strategies.

Objective To investigate the expression of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein D1 (SNRPD1) in the gastric cancer tissue and evaluate the predictive value of SNRPD1 expression level for the long-term prognosis of gastric cancer patients and the possible functioning mechanism of SNRPD1. Methods The UALCAN and Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) were employed to analyze the expression level of SNRPD1 in pan-cancer and its relationship with the prognosis of gastric cancer.The clinical data of 109 patients who underwent radical surgery for gastric cancer from January 2014 to January 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Gastric cancer and paracancerous tissue samples were collected,and the expression of SNRPD1 was detected by immunohistochemical staining.Lentiviral transfection was employed to construct the BGC-823 gastric cancer cell models with stable high and low expression of SNRPD1,respectively.The CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay were employed to measure the proliferation of gastric cancer cells,and flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle.Western blotting was employed to determine the expression levels of proteins in the signaling pathway. Results The data from UALCAN and GEPIA showed that SNRPD1 was highly expressed in the tissue of malignant tumors including gastric cancer (P<0.001).The expression level of SNRPD1 in the gastric cancer tissue was higher than that in the paracancerous tissue (P<0.001).Moreover,the expression level of SNRPD1 was positively correlated with the levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (P<0.001),carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (P<0.001),G stage (P=0.042),T stage (P=0.002),and N stage (P=0.027) in the patients with gastric cancer.The high expression of SNRPD1 had a predictive value for the long-term prognosis of gastric cancer (P<0.001),and it was an independent risk factor for the death of gastric cancer patients (P=0.003).The results of gene ontology and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and Genomes enrichment analyses showed that SNRPD1 was involved in the regulation of the cell cycle.The results of CCK-8 and colony formation assays showed that up-regulation of SNRPD1 promoted the proliferation of gastric cancer cells (P<0.001,P<0.001).The up-regulation of SNRPD1 up-regulated the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 6 and G₁/S-specific cyclin-D1 (P<0.001,P=0.002),whereas the interference in SNRPD1 led to opposite results (P=0.004,P<0.001).SNRPD1 accelerated the G₁/S phase transition of gastric cancer cells (P<0.001).The overexpression of SNRPD1 promoted the expression of phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and phosphorylated protein kinase B (Akt) in gastric cancer cells (P=0.043,P<0.001),whereas disruption of SNRPD1 inhibited their expression (both P<0.001).Insulin-like growth factor 1,an agonist of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,promoted the proliferation of gastric cancer cells with SNRPD1 disturbed (P=0.002). Conclusion High expression of SNRPD1 in the gastric cancer tissues is associated with poor prognosis,and it may promote tumor cell proliferation and regulate the cell cycle by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
