Purpose To explore the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of nephrogenic adenomas(NAs)in urinary tract.Methods 27 cases of NA were collected.The clinicopathological features and differential di-agnosis were analyzed,and the relevant literatures were reviewed.Results A total of 27 cases of NA in urinary tract were included in this study,including 20 males and 7 females,ranging in age from 24 to 84 years.Among them,clini-cal manifestations included urinary tract irritation in 8 cases,hematuria in 7 cases,and no obvious symptoms or other comorbidities in 12 cases.Comorbidities:17 cases combined with urothelial tumors,4 cases with cystitis,2 cases with tuberculosis,2 cases with urethral diverticulum,and 2 cases with ureteral calculi or stenosis.Gross inspection:19 ca-ses occurred in the bladder,5 in the ureter,and 3 in the urethra.The average size of the lesions was about 4.3 mm.Local edema or protrusion of the mucosa with roughness were found in 18 cases,papillary or polypoid masses in 5 ca-ses,or follicular-like neoplasma in 4 cases.Histologic features:these lesions were mainly composed of papillary,tubu-lar and cystic structure,and eosinophilic colloid secretions were seen in the lumen.The lining epithelium was cuboidal or low columnar,some of which were 'hobnail' or signet ring-like cells,and stroma showed edema and chronic inflam-mation.Immunohistochemistry:epithelial cells expressed PAX8 and CK7,partially expressed P504S and GAT A3,but not p63 and PSA.p53 was wild type,and Ki67 proliferation index was low(1%-8%).Molecular testing:no ab-normalities were found in 14 urine FISH tests before surgery,and no fusion mutation was detected in 2 samples selected for second-generation sequencing.Treatment and follow-up:follow-up data were obtained for all cases,of which 24 un-derwent transurethral resection of bladder lesions,and the rest underwent nephroureterectomy or cystoprostatectomy.The mean follow-up was 26.6(1-59)months,and the lesion recurred in 2 cases.Conclusion NAs are relatively rare,and their final diagnosis depends on pathological examination.When the biopsy sample is small or the histomor-phology is atypical,it's often necessary to differentiate it from urothelial tumor,prostate adenocarcinoma and clear cell adenocarcinoma.Understanding the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features of NA is helpful to improve the diagnostic rate and avoid missed-diagnosis or misdiagnosis.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between changes in intestinal toxicity and compositional alterations of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix(commonly known as Langdu) before and after milk processing, and to explore the detoxification mechanism of milk processing. Mice were intragastrically administered the 95% ethanol extract of raw Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix, milk-decocted(milk-processed), and water-decocted(water-processed) Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. Fecal morphology, fecal water content, and the release levels of inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) in different intestinal segments were used as indicators to evaluate the effects of different processing methods on the cathartic effect and intestinal inflammatory toxicity of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. LC-MS/MS was employed to analyze the small-molecule components in the raw product, the 95% ethanol extract of the milk-processed product, and the milky waste(precipitate) formed during milk processing, to assess the impact of milk processing on the chemical composition of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. The results showed that compared with the blank group, both the raw and water-processed Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix significantly increased the fecal morphology score, fecal water content, and the release levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in various intestinal segments(P<0.05). Compared with the raw group, all indicators in the milk-processed group significantly decreased(P<0.05), while no significant differences were observed in the water-processed group, indicating that milk, as an adjuvant in processing, plays a key role in reducing the intestinal toxicity of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix. Mass spectrometry results revealed that 29 components were identified in the raw product, including 28 terpenoids and 1 acetophenone. The content of these components decreased to varying extents after milk processing. A total of 28 components derived from Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix were identified in the milky precipitate, of which 27 were terpenoids, suggesting that milk processing promotes the transfer of toxic components from Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix into milk. To further investigate the effect of milk adjuvant processing on the toxic terpenoid components of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix, transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used to observe the morphology of self-assembled casein micelles(the main protein in milk) in the milky precipitate. The micelles formed in casein-terpenoid solutions were characterized using particle size analysis, fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy. TEM observations confirmed the presence of casein micelles in the milky precipitate. Characterization results showed that with increasing concentrations of toxic terpenoids, the average particle size of casein micelles increased, fluorescence intensity of the solution decreased, the maximum absorption wavelength in the UV spectrum shifted, and significant changes occurred in the infrared spectrum, indicating that interactions occurred between casein micelles and toxic terpenoid components. These findings indicate that the cathartic effect of Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix becomes milder and its intestinal inflammatory toxicity is reduced after milk processing. The detoxification mechanism is that terpenoid components in Euphorbiae Ebracteolatae Radix reassemble with casein in milk to form micelles, promoting the transfer of some terpenoids into the milky precipitate.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Functional dyspepsia (FD), characterized by persistent or recurrent dyspeptic symptoms without identifiable organic, systemic or metabolic causes, is an increasingly recognized global health issue. The objective of this guideline is to equip clinicians and nursing professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management and treatment of adult patients with FD using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Guideline Development Group consulted existing TCM consensus documents on FD and convened a panel of 35 clinicians to generate initial clinical queries. To address these queries, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, China Biology Medicine (SinoMed) Database, Wanfang Database, Traditional Medicine Research Data Expanded (TMRDE), and the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (TCMLARS). The evidence from the literature was critically appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The strength of the recommendations was ascertained through a consensus-building process involving TCM and allopathic medicine experts, methodologists, pharmacologists, nursing specialists, and health economists, leveraging their collective expertise and empirical knowledge. The guideline comprises a total of 43 evidence-informed recommendations that span a range of clinical aspects, including the pathogenesis according to TCM, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, efficacy assessments, and prognostic considerations.

Objective To propose a CT truncated data reconstruction model(DDTrans)based on projection and image dual-domain Transformer coupled feature learning for reducing truncation artifacts and image structure distortion caused by insufficient field of view(FOV)in CT scanning.Methods Transformer was adopted to build projection domain and image domain restoration models,and the long-range dependency modeling capability of the Transformer attention module was used to capture global structural features to restore the projection data information and enhance the reconstructed images.We constructed a differentiable Radon back-projection operator layer between the projection domain and image domain networks to enable end-to-end training of DDTrans.Projection consistency loss was introduced to constrain the image forward-projection results to further improve the accuracy of image reconstruction.Results The experimental results with Mayo simulation data showed that for both partial truncation and interior scanning data,the proposed DDTrans method showed better performance than the comparison algorithms in removing truncation artifacts at the edges and restoring the external information of the FOV.Conclusion The DDTrans method can effectively remove CT truncation artifacts to ensure accurate reconstruction of the data within the FOV and achieve approximate reconstruction of data outside the FOV.
