To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of extracranial malignant rhabdoid tumor (eMRT) in children, and to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of this disease. A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of children with newly diagnosed eMRT who were admitted and treated in the Department of Pediatric Oncology, Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, from March 2009 to December 2024. The clinical characteristics were summarized, and survival analysis and prognostic risk factor analysis were conducted. A total of 43 children with eMRT were included in this study, the median age at diagnosis of all patients was 20 months (range: 2-138 months). Among them, 24 cases were malignant renal rhabdoid tumors and 19 cases were extracranial, extrarenal rhabdoid tumors. Of the 43 children, 23 cases (53.5%) were complicated with distant metastasis. Twenty-nine (67.4%) underwent primary tumor resection. Among the children, 24 (55.8%) underwent gross total resection (GTR), 5 (11.6%) partial resection, and 14 (32.6%) biopsy only. Their 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were 40.8%, 35.3%, and 33.3%, respectively ( Children with eMRT have an overall poor prognosis. A diagnostic age < 12 months is an independent risk factor for higher mortality in these children. Further large-scale, long-term follow-up studies are needed to explore the prognostic factors of this disease.

With the accelerating trend of population aging, the number of elderly patients with lung cancer continues to rise, and the disease burden is becoming increasingly heavy. The clinical management of these patients faces severe challenges due to their decreased physiological reserve, complex comorbidities, and significant individual heterogeneity. Consequently, under traditional diagnosis and treatment models, doctors often struggle to identify the individualized risks of elderly patients in a timely and comprehensive manner, which can easily lead to decision biases such as undertreatment or overtreatment. In view of this, this study advocates for the establishment of an umbrella decision-making model specifically tailored for elderly lung cancer patients. Grounded in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) platform, this model deeply integrates oncological indicators with the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) system. By holistically considering multidimensional variables including tumor burden, organ function, frailty index, cognitive status, and social support, the model establishes an operational mechanism characterized by "single entry, precise stratification, and targeted selection". Accordingly, patients can be scientifically triaged into distinct intervention tiers, such as active surveillance, minimally invasive surgery, drug therapy, radiotherapy, and best supportive care, thereby achieving real-time alignment between treatment intensity and patient fitness. This article elaborates on the construction logic and key operational procedures of this novel decision-making framework, aiming to guide clinical practice beyond the limitations of a tumor-centric perspective toward a holistic, dynamic, whole-course management strategy. This transition seeks to ensure optimal quality of life and clinical net benefit for elderly patients alongside survival prolongation.

BackgroundSuicide and self-injury risk in patients with depression disorder is associated with pain symptoms, but the relationships between specific pain types and their severity and distinct self-injury/suicide risk phenotypes remain controversial. ObjectiveTo explore whether somatic pain can reflect different self-injury/suicide risk phenotypes, and to provide references for the clinical identification of suicide and self-injury risk in patients with depression. MethodsBased on data from the National Survey on Symptomatology of Depression (NSSD), 3 275 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, text revision (DSM-IV-TR) were recruited. According to previous suicidal behavior, suicidal ideation and self-injury behavior in the past two weeks, patients were divided into the no self-injury/suicide risk group, self-injury group, and high suicide-risk group. The occurrence of headache, muscle soreness, trunk pain, limb pain, and other pain symptoms was assessed using the structured symptom assessment instrument of the NSSD. With the no self-injury/suicide risk group as the reference, an ordinal Logistic regression model was used to analyze the associations between the risk groups and the occurrence frequency of pain, with demographic and clinical characteristics entered into the model as covariates for adjustment. ResultsA total of 3 211 patients (98.05%) were included in the analysis, including 1 329 cases (41.39%) in the no self-injury/suicide risk group, 415 cases (12.92%) in the self-injury group, and 1 467 cases (45.69%) in the high suicide-risk group. Compared with the no self-injury/suicide risk group, the occurrence frequencies of headache (OR=1.526, 95% CI: 1.221–1.894) and muscle soreness (OR=1.287, 95% CI: 1.034–1.597) were higher in the self-injury group, and the occurrence frequencies of headache (OR=0.583, 95% CI: 0.504–0.672), muscle soreness (OR=0.682, 95% CI: 0.597–0.780), trunk pain (OR=0.557, 95% CI: 0.475–0.634), limb pain (OR=0.454, 95% CI: 0.384–0.522), and other pain difficult to localize (OR=0.542, 95% CI: 0.472–0.631) were all lower in the high suicide-risk group. ConclusionPatients with depression disorder across different self-injury and suicide risk phenotypes exhibit distinct pain characteristics, and these differences may provide a reference for the clinical identification of suicide and self-injury risk in patients with depression disorder.

The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score is currently used to prioritize liver allocation for cirrhotic patients awaiting liver transplantation in the world. With the application of MELD score in transplantation for patients with severe conditions, several models have been proposed to refine and improve MELD score. MELD score has also been used for the management of non-transplantation patients with chronic liver disease. This article briefly reviews the background of these models and believes that the original intention of MELD is to determine the priority of organ allocation for liver transplantation. The expanded application of MELD score beyond liver transplantation assessment should be performed with reference to clinical practice, and different MELD models should be selected rationally based on individual conditions, in order to help patients achieve optimal prognosis assessment, intervention measures, and benefits.

Objective:
To understand relationship of positive and negative peer events with mental health problems among college students, so as to provide a scientific basis for improving mental health level of college students.
Methods:
A total of 1 640 freshmen to juniors were randomly selected from two universities in Anhui Province from October to November 2023 by a combination of convenience sampling and cluster random sampling method. The positive and negative peer events, self perceived loneliness and stress levels, anxiety and depression symptoms of students were investigated by using the questionnaire star online. Group comparisons were conducted by using analysis of variance and Chi square test, and multivariate binary Logistic regression and linear regression were used to analyze relationship of positive and negative peer events with mental health problems among college students.
Results:
About 35.4% of college students reported that they experienced at least one type of negative peer events, and 91.3% reported that they experienced at least one type of positive peer events. After controlling for covariates,multivariate regression analysis found that experiencing 1, ≥2 types of negative peer events were positively correlated with loneliness scores of college students ( β = 1.36,4.04), as well as an increased risk of anxiety symptoms ( OR =2.24,4.33) and depression symptoms ( OR =2.19,4.01); and experiencing ≥2 types of negative peer events was positively correlated with stress scores of college students ( β =1.12)( P <0.05). Experiencing 5-6 and 7 types of positive peer events were negatively correlated with loneliness scores of college students ( β = -1.79, -2.44) and stress ( β =-0.75, -1.12); and experiencing 7 types of positive peer events were associated with a lower risk of anxiety symptoms ( OR =0.74) and depressive symptoms ( OR =0.80) ( P <0.05). The number of negative peer events was positively correlated with loneliness scores ( β =0.80) and stress scores( β =0.24), as well as the risk of anxiety symptoms ( OR =1.30) and depressive symptoms ( OR =1.27) among college students ( P <0.05). The number of positive peer events involved was negatively correlated with loneliness scores( β =-0.39) and stress scores( β =-0.19), as well as the risk of anxiety ( OR =0.92) and depressive symptoms ( OR =0.93) among college students ( P <0.05). The analysis of the moderating effect found that in different groups of positive peer events, reporting 1, ≥2 negative peer events were positively correlated with loneliness scores of college students ( β=1.08- 4.96), as well as an increased risk of anxiety symptoms ( OR =1.79-6.20) and depression symptoms ( OR =1.78-6.77) ( P <0.05); and β and OR coefficients were highest in the group reporting 0-4 types of positive peer events, followed by the group reporting 5-6 types of positive peer events, with lowest coefficients in the group reporting 7 types of positive peer events.
Conclusions
Negative peer events are positively correlated with psychological problems in college students, and positive peer events are negatively correlated with mental health problems. Positive peer events could alleviate the impact of negative peer events on mental health problems.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of children with head and neck rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and to summarize the mid-long term efficacy of Beijing Children′s Hospital Rhabdomyosarcoma 2006 (BCH-RMS-2006) regimen and China Children′s Cancer Group Rhabdomyosarcoma 2016 (CCCG-RMS-2016) regimen.Methods:A retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 137 children with newly diagnosed head and neck RMS at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2013 to December 2021 were collected. Clinical characteristic of patients at disease onset and the therapeutic effects of patients treated with the BCH-RMS-2006 and CCCG-RMS-2016 regimens were compared. The treatments and outcomes of patients with recurrence were also summarized. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method, and Log-Rank test was used for comparison of survival rates between groups.Results:Among 137 patients, there were 80 males (58.4%) and 57 females (41.6%), the age of disease onset was 59 (34, 97) months. The primary site in the orbital, non-orbital non-parameningeal, and parameningeal area were 10 (7.3%), 47 (34.3%), and 80 (58.4%), respectively. Of all patients, 32 cases (23.4%) were treated with the BCH-RMS-2006 regimen and 105 (76.6%) cases were treated with the CCCG-RMS-2016 regimen. The follow-up time for the whole patients was 46 (20, 72) months, and the 5-year progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates for the whole children were (60.4±4.4)% and (69.3±4.0)%, respectively. The 5-year OS rate was higher in the CCCG-RMS-2016 group than in BCH-RMS-2006 group ((73.0±4.5)% vs. (56.6±4.4)%, χ2=4.57, P=0.029). For the parameningeal group, the 5-year OS rate was higher in the CCCG-RMS-2016 group (61 cases) than in BCH-RMS-2006 group (19 cases) ((57.3±7.6)% vs. (32.7±11.8)%, χ2=4.64, P=0.031). For the group with meningeal invasion risk factors, the 5-year OS rate was higher in the CCCG-RMS-2016 group (54 cases) than in BCH-RMS-2006 group (15 cases) ((57.7±7.7)% vs. (30.0±12.3)%, χ2=4.76, P=0.029). Among the 10 cases of orbital RMS, there was no recurrence. In the non-orbital non-parameningeal RMS group (47 cases), there were 13 (27.6%) recurrences, after re-treatment, 7 cases survived. In the parameningeal RMS group (80 cases), there were 40 (50.0%) recurrences, with only 7 cases surviving after re-treatment. Conclusions:The overall prognosis for patients with orbital and non-orbital non-parameningeal RMS is good. However, children with parameningeal RMS have a high recurrence rate, and the effectiveness of re-treatment after recurrence is poor. Compared with the BCH-RMS-2006 regimen, the CCCG-RMS-2016 regimen can improve the treatment efficacy of RMS in the meningeal region.

After continuous development and improvement, lung transplantation has become the preferred means to treat a variety of benign end-stage lung diseases. However, the field of lung transplantation still faces many challenges, including shortage of donor resources, preservation and maintenance of donor lungs, and postoperative complications. Lung tissue samples removed after lung transplantation are excellent clinical resources for the study of benign end-stage lung disease and perioperative complications of lung transplantation. However, at present, the collection, storage and utilization of tissue samples after lung transplantation are limited to a single study, and unified technical specifications have not been formed. Based on the construction plan of the biobank for lung transplantation in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, this study reviewed the practical experience in the collection, storage and utilization of lung transplant tissue samples in the aspects of ethical review, staffing, collection process, storage method, quality control and efficient utilization, in order to provide references for lung transplant related research.
