Based on the theory of "yang governs and yin follows"， it is believed that pediatric obesity is primarily involves the key pathogenesis of constraint and stagnation due to yang deficiency， and the excessive accumulation of yin turbid. The root cause lies in the spleen-stomach yang deficiency and impaired digestion and transformation， while the branch manifestation is characterized by constraint and stagnation in sanjiao （三焦） and excessive accumulation of yin turbid. This emphasizes the imbalance between the governing function of yang qi and the transformation mechanism of yin essence in the overall pathological process. Accordingly， the treatment approach of reinforcing yang and unblocking stagnation， inhibiting yin and resolving turbid has been proposed. And a comprehensive treatment plan is suggested， including abdominal tuina combined with spinal manipulation， timed acupuncture according to the the eightfold method of the sacred tortoise， syndrome differentiation-based acupuncture， and mild moxibustion. This approach aims to provide an integrated approach for the prevention and treatment of pediatric obesity.

ObjectiveTo develop and validate a diagnostic prediction model for differentiating pulmonary tuberculosis from community-acquired pneumonia based on routine blood parameters. MethodsA total of 642 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 503 patients with community-acquired pneumonia were retrospectively enrolled from the Seventh Hospital of Tangshan. They were randomly divided into a training set and an internal validation set at a 7∶3 ratio. Additionally， 218 patients from the 981st Hospital were independently included as an external validation set. The Boruta algorithm and recursive feature elimination were employed to select predictors from 82 blood parameters， sex， and age. A multivariate Logistic regression model was established and evaluated using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves， calibration curves， and decision curve analysis. ResultsThe final model incorporated eight predictors， namely uric acid， urea nitrogen， alkaline phosphatase， monoamine oxidase， alanine aminotransferase， glutathione， neutrophil percentage， and age. The model achieved areas under the curve （AUCs） of 0.800 （95%CI： 0.769-0.830）， 0.787 （95%CI： 0.738-0.836）， and 0.736 （95%CI： 0.667-0.835） in the training， internal validation， and external validation sets， respectively. The model demonstrated good calibration， and decision curve analysis showed clinical net benefit within the threshold probability range of 10%-80%. ConclusionThe developed model exhibits good discriminative ability and clinical utility， serving as an effective early screening tool for primary healthcare institutions.

This paper reported the clinical manifestations, pathological features, immunophenotype and follow-up of two patients with superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCPFT), who were admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital in 2022 and 2023, and discussed the relevant literatures. The two patients, aged 43 and 20 years old, were both male. Their tumors were located in the perineum and the back of left shoulder, respectively. Both presented as single slow-growing subcutaneous masses with a course typically measured in years, accompanied by mild tenderness but without pain or pruritus. Microscopically, spindled to epithelioid cells and pleomorphous nuclear cells arranged in cellular fascicles and solid sheets were the main findings. Immunophenotypically, positive expression of CD34 was found in both cases. Extended resection ensured negative marginal and basal margins for both cases. No recurrence was observed after 22 and 12 months of follow-up, respectively. Clinical features, pathology, and differential diagnosis were discussed and summarized through a review of relevant literature. SCPFT is a novel type of fibroblastic tumor categorized as a low-grade malignant soft tissue tumor with unique pathological and biological characteristics that is relatively rare clinically. Routine resection may lead to recurrence; therefore, long-term follow-up is necessary. The combination of morphological characteristics and immunohistochemistry is helpful to diagnosis. It is important to differentiate this disease from other tumors to avoid misdiagnosis or mistreatment.

Abstract In April 2021, type Ⅰ vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) was detected from two fecal samples of a male infant with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in Zhejiang Province when he was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, with 12 and 14 nucleotide mutations in the VP1 region, respectively. The case had a history of immunization with three doses of poliovirus vaccines, and grade Ⅲ proximal muscle strength and grade Ⅱ distal muscle strength of the right lower limb. After symptomatic treatment, the activity of the right lower limb and the muscle strength was significantly restored, thus he was discharged. VDPV was not detected from subsequent (the 8th to 12th) fecal samples of the case and fecal samples of close contacts. No similar cases were found in medical institutions in the county, surrounding areas, neighboring villages or towns. Since the case did not exhibit clinical symptoms of poliomyelitis caused by VDPV, poliomyelitis was excluded, and the case was diagnosed with hemophilia type A based on the epidemiological investigation, laboratory tests, and the history of poliomyelitis vaccination. This event involved cross-provincial (municipal) cooperation and was responsed promptly, preventing further spread of the virus. It suggested that the sensitivity of the AFP case surveillance system should be maintained, environmental monitoring methods should be increased, and the poliomyelitis vaccination should be promoted to prevent the spread of the virus.
