Objective:To analyze the cytological, histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular pathological features of hyalinizing trabecular tumor (HTT).Methods:Clinical and pathological data of the HTT cases diagnosed at Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine between 2020 and 2024 were collected and analyzed. HE staining, special staining, immunohistochemical staining, and next-generation sequencing were performed on all cases.Results:Among the 10 HTT patients, 4 were male and 6 were female. The age at onset ranged from 29 to 85 years, with a median age of 49 (35,61) years. The maximum tumor diameter ranged from 0.3 to 5.3 cm. Cytologically, the smears were hypercellular and showed tumor cells arranged in nested clusters with visible basement membrane-like material. The nuclei were oval with finely granular chromatin, and nuclear pseudoinclusions were readily identifiable. Histologically, the tumors were well demarcated. The tumor cells were arranged in a paraganglioma-like pattern, exhibiting typical nuclear features of papillary thyroid carcinoma and psammoma bodies. Yellow bodies were observed in the cytoplasm. The stroma was rich in hyalinized material, which was periodic acid-Schiff stain (PAS)-positive. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed diffuse expression of TTF-1 and focal expression of thyroglobulin. Aberrant immunoreaction with Ki-67 was present in the cytoplasm and membrane of the tumor cells. Molecular testing was performed on 8 cases. The PAX8-GLIS3 gene fusion was detected in 7 cases. Among these fusion-positive cases, 4 exhibited additional genetic abnormalities: one concurrent TSHR point mutation (p.D617H); one concurrent HRAS point mutation (p.Q61R); one concurrent LRP1B point mutation (p.S1752L), SUGCT point mutation (p.K137), and TERT point mutation (p.P785L); one concurrent MTOR mutation (7528+27A>T) and FLT3 mutation (p.E77K). The key initiating factors for thyroid carcinoma, including the BRAF V600E mutation and RET rearrangements, were absent in all cases tested.Conclusions:Cellular pleomorphism, yellow bodies and basement membrane-like material constitute important cytological and histological features for the differential diagnosis of HTT. Immunophenotypically, thyroglobulin may show focal expression, while Ki-67 is typically localized in the tumor cell membrane and cytoplasm. This study also demonstrates that PAX8-GLIS3 fusion is a characteristic molecular abnormality in HTT, although cases with wild type of GLIS gene may also present. Although rare, HTT may harbor point mutations in HRAS and TSHR, and other uncommon genetic alterations.

To investigate the current situation and demand for specialized development of allergy nursing in 88 hospitals in Guangdong Province, as well as to provide evidence for the management of allergy nursing. From August to December 2023, a cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze the core managers of allergy nursing-related work in eighty-eight hospitals in Guangdong Province supported by the Allergy Nursing Branch of the Guangdong Nurses Association and the Nursing Group of the Allergy Branch of the Guangdong Medical Association. An online survey was conducted using the Delphi method to compile a questionnaire on the current status and demand for specialized development of allergy nursing in Guangdong Province. Chi-square tests and Fisher′s exact probability method were used to analyze the differences in the current status of specialty technology applications and the development and demand of specialized nursing between hospitals with or without allergy specialty departments. The results showed that among the eighty-eight hospitals in the nineteen prefecture-level cities surveyed in Guangdong Province, 17 hospitals (19%) had established allergy specialty departments, all of which were top-tier tertiary hospitals. The establishment duration [ M ( Q1, Q3)] was 3 (1, 10) years. The implementation rates of skin prick test (94%, 16/17), in-vitro examination (82%, 14/17), nasal endoscopy (82%, 14/17), subcutaneous specific immunotherapy (82%, 14/17), multidisciplinary consultation (65%, 11/17), fractional exhaled nitric oxide detection (47%, 8/17), skin patch test (41%, 7/17), and autologous serum skin test (35%, 6/17) in hospitals with allergy department were higher than those in hospitals without allergy department [59%, 42/71 ( χ 2= 7.462, P=0.006)], [54%, 38/71 ( χ 2= 4.717, P=0.030)], [51%, 36/71 ( χ 2= 5.599, P=0.018)], [34%, 24/71 ( χ 2= 13.177, P<0.001)], [24%, 17/71 ( χ 2= 10.505, P=0.001)], [24%, 17/71 ( χ 2= 5.540, P=0.019)], [11%, 8/71 (Fisher′s exact test, P=0.008)], [11%, 8/71 (Fisher′s exact test, P=0.025)]. In the development plan of allergy nursing in the next two years, hospitals that had set up allergy departments had a higher proportion in adding nurses (82%, 14/17, χ 2= 13.177, P<0.001), formulating specialized nurse training plans (71%, 12/17, χ 2= 3.980, P=0.046), formulating group standards or clinical guidelines (41%, 7/17, Fisher′s exact test, P=0.046), and formulating assessment standards (53%, 9/17, Fisher′s exact test, P=0.002). The demand for all aspects of allergy specialty nursing knowledge and skills accounted for more than 50%, and it was not related to whether the hospital set up an allergy department. In conclusion, the specialized development of allergy nursing in Guangdong province is still in its early stages, and there is a great demand for improving knowledge and skills in allergy. Further standardization of specialty construction is needed, along with the training of allergic nurses, to promote the comprehensive development of allergic reaction nursing specialties from point to area.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly, and there is no specific treatment to stop or reverse its progression. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an important entry point for early diagnosis and prevention of AD. More and more studies have explored the risk factors and biomarkers for conversion from MCI to AD, and a series of risk prediction models have been established. This article analyzes and summarizes the different predictors and risk prediction models so as to provide basis for early identifying the high-risk group of AD, managing the controllable risk factors, and providing references for the selection and improvement of these models.
