Objective:To investigate the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps.Methods:The clinicopathologic features and prognosis of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps with complete data retrieved from the pathology database of the Institute of Urology, Peking University from January 2013 to December 2021 were collected and analyzed. All HE staining sections were reviewed by a senior urologic pathologist. Immunohistochemical analysis was done in some cases for differential diagnosis. The clinical, imaging and outcome data were collected, and discussed together with relevant literature.Results:There were 45 patients with complete clinicopathologic data, including 34 males and 11 females (male: female=3.1∶1.0), with a median age of 36 (range 13-80) years. Preoperative diagnosis included polyp in 23 cases, tumor in 19 cases and calculi in 3 cases. The main clinical symptoms were hematuria (13 cases), low back and abdominal pain (9 cases) and no symptoms (9 cases). There were 29 cases of multiple polyps, 16 cases of single polyp; 32 cases were on the left side, 13 cases were on the right side; 29 cases of upper polyps, 9 cases of middle polyps, and 6 cases of lower polyps. Twenty-seven patients had no related urologic history, 10 patients had history of urolithiasis, and the rest had history of stents, strictures or tumors. Local ureteral resection and anastomosis were the most common treatment (20 cases), followed by ureteroscopic polypectomy (12 cases). The patients were followed up from the pathological diagnosis to the cut-off time: 4 cases were lost to follow-up, and the remaining 34 cases were followed up for 3 to 85 (mean 60 months). One case had polyp recurrence after 3 months, and the other case had polyp recurrence after 2 years. Fibroepithelial polyps had a variety of gross manifestations, ranging from elongated polyps or small papillary and polypoid to large papillary masses. Microscopically, they were divided into type 1, type 2 and type 3, and the type 3 was the most common type (28 cases). In this study, there were 41 cases of simple fibroepithelial polyp, 2 cases of malignant transformation of polyps into urothelial carcinoma, one case of polyps with urothelial carcinoma, and one case of polyp with surface urothelial carcinoma in situ; the stroma showed myofibroblastic proliferation.Conclusions:The clinical manifestations and morphologic characteristics of ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are diverse. The three microscopic types are easily confused with many benign and malignant ureteral diseases, such as inflammatory polyps, adenocystitis, papilloma, etc. Awareness of the key differentiation points and judicious use of immunohistochemistry will be helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Objective To understand the public mental health status and related influencing factors during the epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19). Methods A structured questionnaire was used to conduct a questionnaire survey of the research subjects through an online platform. The public mental health status was assessed using the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90). Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze related influencing factors. Results The survey included 1 078 eligible questionnaires, of which 252 (23.38%) were positive on the SCL-90 scale. For each SCL-90 factor, the highest positive rate was anxiety (41.28%), followed by horror (35.16%), and depression (33.21%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that from Hubei (OR=1.64, P=0.014), male (OR=1.37, P=0.036), medical related occupations or professions (OR=1.57, P=0.008), and high concern over the epidemic (OR=2.19, P=0.013) and known people with suspected or confirmed cases (OR=2.75, P<0.001) were risk factors influencing public mental health. Conclusion The mental health problems of the population during the epidemic of COVID-19 were serious, especially in Hubei. Male groups, medical workers, and people with relatives and friends who have a case need to pay attention to their own mental health. The government should increase the publicity of mental health knowledge to effectively prevent the occurrence and development of mental illness in these people.

Objective To objectively and standardly compare the bare-handed CPR and Thumper cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR recovery effect based on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Utstein model.Methods A retrospective study was conducted. CPR adult patients admitted to the Emergency Room of First Hospital of Qinhuangdao in Hebei Province from January 2015 to January 2017 were enrolled. Seventy patients who underwent CPR using the Thumper cardiopulmonary resuscitator were included in the Thumper CPR group; 80 patients who underwent manual hand-held CPR were included in the bare-handed CPR group. Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and return of spontaneous breathing, and blood gas analysis indexes of recovery for 5 minutes and 15 minutes [arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), arterial blood carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2), arterial blood oxygen saturation (SaO2), blood lactic acid (Lac)] were collected.Results There was no significant difference in gender, age and cardiac arrest (CA) causes between the two groups. Compared with the bare-handed CPR group, the ROSC rate in the Thumper CPR group was significantly increased [68.57% (48/70) vs. 51.25% (41/80),χ2 = 4.642,P = 0.031], but there was no significant difference in return of spontaneous breathing rate [48.57% (34/70) vs. 47.50% (38/80),χ2 = 0.017,P = 0.896]. There was no significant difference in blood gas index between the two groups after 5 minutes of recovery. The PaO2 and SaO2 in the Thumper CPR group were significantly higher than those in the bare-handed CPR group [PaO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 88.13±5.06 vs. 84.26±5.53, SaO2: 0.828±0.068 vs. 0.766±0.031, bothP < 0.05), PaCO2 and Lac were significantly lower than those in the bare-handed CPR group [PaCO2 (mmHg):34.04±4.62 vs. 40.43±5.29, Lac (mmol/L): 6.90±2.07 vs. 8.50±2.12, bothP < 0.05].Conclusions In the process of emergency rescue, Thumper cardiopulmonary resuscitator is more successful than bare-handed CPR. The recovery rate of Thumper cardiopulmonary resuscitator is more conducive to save manpower and obtain better metabolic effect, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
