Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnosis, and prognosis of renal solitary fibrous tumor (SFT).Methods:Five cases of renal SFT with unequivocal diagnoses at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between January 2011 and July 2025 were subject to analyses of their clinical, morphological, immunophenotypic, and molecular characteristics, accompanied by a literature review.Results:Two males and three females aged between 45 and 62 years were included, all of whom presented with the discovery of a renal mass during routine physical examinations. Gross examination showed that the five tumors were all confined in the kidney. The tumors were nodular with maximum diameters ranging from 2.5 cm to 11.0 cm (mean, 5.8 cm). Upon cross-sectioning, they exhibited gray-white or gray-yellow cut surface. Histologically, the tumor cells exhibited oval or short spindle shapes in four cases, presenting with varying densities and arranged in short bundles, woven patterns, and irregular formation. Various amounts of coarse collagen and scattered staghorn blood-vessels were found in the stroma. In one case (case 5), the tumor cells were long spindle-shaped, densely organized in bundles, and interwoven, exhibiting inconspicuous boundaries, moderate nuclear atypia, and at least 4 mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields. Irregular patchy collagen deposition was particularly prominent at the edges of the tumor tissue. In two cases (cases 3 and 5), scattered and various amounts of renal tubules were observed in the tumor. Two cases (cases 4 and 5) demonstrated focal invasion of the renal parenchyma, although no necrosis was noted. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the tumor cells were diffusely and strongly positive for vimentin and STAT6 in all 5 cases, and positive for CD34. Bcl-2 positivity was present in 4 of the 5 cases. All cases were negative for CKpan, EMA, PAX8, HMB45, Melan A, SMA, and S-100 protein. The p53 status was wild type, and the Ki-67 index ranged from 1% to 8%. Next-generation sequencing was conducted on one case (case 4), revealing the NAB2 (exon 3)::STAT6 (exon 18) gene fusion. The 5 patients were followed up for 1 to 158 months (mean, 56 months), and all were alive with no recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions:SFT of the kidney are rare and morphologically similar to extrarenal SFT. Key morphological features include short spindle-shaped tumor cells arranged in bundles, interwoven patterns or irregularly, accompanied by staghorn blood-vessels and scattered coarse hyaline collagen fibers. SFT with epithelial inclusions may represent a relatively common histological subtype in the kidney. Immunohistochemical staining that demonstrates diffuse and strong positivity for STAT6 and CD34 is instrumental in diagnosing this tumor. The pathogenesis is linked to the centromeric inversion of chromosome 12q, resulting in the fusion of the NAB2 and STAT6 genes. Most of these tumors exhibit favorable prognosis.

Objective To analyze the research status of job competence in domestic public hospitals,provide directions for the construction of the talent pool in public hospitals,and promote their high-quality development.Methods Relevant litera-ture on job competence in domestic public hospitals from 2009 to 2023 was retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infra-structure(CNKI)database.Citespace software was used to analyze the selected literature in terms of publication timeline,author co-occurrence,institution co-occurrence,keyword co-occurrence,keyword clustering,and keyword burst analysis.A visualized knowledge map was constructed.Results A total of 501 valid articles were included.Research on job competence in domestic public hospitals showed an upward trend from 2009 to 2023.The research hotspots were mainly in the areas of resident physicians and nursing.The burst analysis of keywords indicated that targeted research on job competence in specific professional fields will be a future trend.Conclusion Research on job competence in domestic public hospitals is developing,but it still faces issues such as a loose network structure of author and institution co-occurrence and a lack of cooperation,as well as insufficient subdivi-sion of job competence research in specific professional fields.Therefore,it is necessary to further subdivide professional fields,expand research on job responsibilities,talent cultivation,and performance evaluation in different fields,and encourage collabo-ration among scholars and institutions.Continuous innovation and strategic responses are needed to promote the high-quality de-velopment of public hospitals.

Objective: To learn the status and influencing factors of development among infants at ages of 0 to 36 months in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide the reference for promoting healthy development of infants. Methods: Infants at ages of 0-36 months who underwent physical examination in Child Health Clinic of Xiaoshan District Community Health Service Center were selected in 2022. General data of infants and their mothers were collected through questionnaires, and the development status of infants was screened by Age and Stages Questionnaire (third edition). Factors affecting the development status were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 2 519 infants were investigated, including 1 339 males (53.16%) and 1 180 females (46.84%). There were 608 infants with abnormal development of at least one functional area of communication (CM), gross motor (GM), fine motor (FM), problems solving (CG) and personal-social (PS). The abnormal rate was 24.14%, and the abnormal rates of the above functional areas were 9.77%, 6.59%, 7.98%, 6.39% and 9.33%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender (male, OR=1.563, 95%CI: 1.191-2.052), mother's childbearing age (≥35 years, OR=1.411, 95%CI: 1.001-1.988), mother's educational level (lower than junior college, OR=1.460, 95%CI: 1.116-1.912) were factors affecting abnormal development of CM; preterm birth (OR=2.323, 95%CI: 1.315-4.103) was factors affecting abnormal development of GM; gender (male, OR=1.654, 95%CI: 1.225-2.232) was factors affecting abnormal development of FM; gender (male, OR=1.511, 95%CI: 1.086-2.102) and mode of delivery (cesarean section, OR=1.460, 95%CI: 1.060-2.010) were factors affecting abnormal development of CG; gender (male, OR=1.340, 95%CI: 1.019-1.763) and birth weight (low birth weight, OR=1.985, 95%CI: 1.149-3.432) were factors affecting abnormal development of PS. Conclusions The rate of abnormal development among infants at ages of 0 to 36 months in Xiaoshan District is 24.14%. Gender, preterm birth, mode of delivery, birth weight, mother's childbearing age and mother's educational level could affect the development status of infants.

Objective: To reveal the molecular mechanism underlying the compatibility of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge (S. miltiorrhiza, Dan Shen) and C. tinctorius L. (C. tinctorius, Hong Hua) as an herb pair through network pharmacology and subsequent experimental validation. Methods: Network pharmacology was applied to construct an active ingredient-efficacy target-disease protein network to reveal the unique regulation pattern of S. miltiorrhiza and C. tinctorius as herb pair. Molecular docking was used to verify the binding of the components of these herbs and their potential targets. An H9c2 glucose hypoxia model was used to evaluate the efficacy of the components and their synergistic effects, which were evaluated using the combination index. Western blot was performed to detect the protein expression of these targets. Results: Network pharmacology analysis revealed 5 pathways and 8 core targets of S. miltiorrhiza and C. tinctorius in myocardial protection. Five of the core targets were enriched in the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway. S. miltiorrhiza-C. tinctorius achieved vascular tone mainly by regulating the target genes of the HIF-1 pathway. As an upstream gene of the HIF-1 pathway, STAT3 can be activated by the active ingredients cryptotanshinone (Ctan), salvianolic acid B (Sal. B), and myricetin (Myric). Cell experiments revealed that Myric, Sal. B, and Ctan also exhibited synergistic myocardial protective activity. Molecular docking verified the strong binding of Myric, Sal. B, and Ctan to STAT3. Western blot further showed that the active ingredients synergistically upregulated the protein expression of STAT3. Conclusion The pharmacodynamic transmission analysis revealed that the active ingredients of S. miltiorrhiza and C. tinctorius can synergistically resist ischemia through various targets and pathways. This study provides a methodological reference for interpreting traditional Chinese medicine compatibility.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and differential diagnosis of eosinophilic vacuolated tumor (EVT).Methods:Seven cases of EVT with characteristic morphology and unequivocal diagnosis from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (6 cases), Qingdao, China and the 971 Hospital of PLA Navy (1 case), Qingdao, China between January 2010 and December 2021 were subject to morphological and immunohistochemical analyses. Additionally, whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed in two cases. Twenty-two cases of renal oncocytoma (RO) and 17 cases of eosinophilic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (eChRCC) diagnosed at the same time were used as controls.Results:Four males and three females with a mean age of 42 years (range: 29-61 years) were included in the study. The tumors were nodular and well-circumscribed, with sizes ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 cm. On cross-section, they appeared gray-red or gray-white, solid, and soft. Tumor cells were arranged in nests, solid sheets, and acinar or small vesicular structures. These cells exhibited eosinophilic cytoplasm with large, prominent clear vacuoles and round nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Perinuclear halos were focally present in four cases, while small tumor cells with sparse cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei were seen in one case. No necrosis or mitosis was noted. Edematous stroma was detected in three cases. All tumors were positive for CD117 and Cathepsin K, but negative for vimentin and CK7. CK20 was positive in scattered individual cells, and Ki-67 positivity ranged from 1% to 4%. Point mutations in MTOR were identified in both patients who were subject to the molecular analysis. Statistical differences in the expression of Cathepsin K, CD10, S-100A1, and Cyclin D1 between EVT and RO ( P<0.05) were significant, so were the differences in the expression of Cathepsin K, CD10, CK7 and claudin 7 between EVT and eChRCC ( P<0.001). Seven patients were followed up for 4 to 96 months (mean, 50 months), with no recurrences or metastases. Conclusions:EVT is a rare renal tumor that shares morphological and immunophenotypic features with RO and eChRCC, and it is closely linked to the TSC/MTOR pathway. The presence of large prominent transparent vacuoles in eosinophilic cytoplasm along with conspicuous nucleoli is its key morphological characteristics. The use of combined immunohistochemical stains greatly aids in its diagnosis. Typically, the tumor exhibits indolent biological behaviors with a favorable prognosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique posi-tion in the diagnosis of scaphoid waist fracture and displacement.Methods The imaging and clinical data such as digital radiography(DR),CT of 93 wrist joint trauma patients were analyzed.The four position views including wrist joint anteroposterior+lateral view,scaphoid position,wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique position,scaphoid position+wrist joint ulnar devia-tion supination 45° palmar oblique position were analyzed by three readers.The consistency of the evaluation among different readers and the diagnostic efficiency of the diagnosis of scaphoid fracture and displacement were compared.Results The inter-observer agreement,sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,and other diagnostic efficiency of scaphoid waist fracture and displacement was evaluated,wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique position+scaphoid position and wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique position were better than those of scaphoid position and wrist joint anteroposterior+lateral view.The combination of wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique position+scaphoid position obtained the best diagnostic efficiency.Conclusion The wrist joint ulnar deviation supination 45° palmar oblique position shows the long axis of the scaphoid,which has a high diagnostic efficiency in the diagnosis of scaphoid waist fracture and displacement and would be used as a useful supplement to other scaphoid imaging.

Objective To investigate the optimal scanning parameters for cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)of the nasal bone,to achieve low-dose scanning of the nasal bone CBCT.Methods Utilizing Prangmerka CBCT 3D single-tooth sequence,nasal bone scans were performed on two human-equivalent phantoms using two dose protocols,five body types,and five resolutions,resul-ting in 50 scanning sequences.The dose area product(DAP)and volume CT dose index(CTDIvol)were recorded.Objective image quality assessment was conducted by calculating the contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR),signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),noise,and figure of merit(FOM)in region of interest(ROI)set on sagittal images.Subjective scoring was performed using a five-point Likert scale.Differences in radiation dose and image quality among various scanning parameters were compared and analyzed.Results(1)Signifi-cant differences in DAP were observed among different dose modes,body types,and resolutions(P＜0.05),with the lowest DAP values recorded for the XS body type.(2)Statistically significant differences in CNR,SNR,noise,and FOM were found among differ-ent dose modes and resolutions(P＜0.05).The XS body type exhibited the highest SNR and FOM values and the lowest noise.The 200 μm resolution demonstrated the higher CNR value and the highest SNR value,with moderate noise and FOM value.(3)Signifi-cant differences in image quality,contrast,sharpness,and noise were observed among different dose modes,body types,and resolu-tions(P＜0.05).Higher subjective scores were assigned to the 200 μm and 150 μm resolutions,indicating clear anatomical details.Conclusion The scanning parameters of 200 μm resolution combined with an ultra-low-dose protocol for the XS body type achieve a balance between low radiation dose and high image quality,making them suitable for low-dose nasal bone CBCT examinations.
