Objective:To investigate the expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK), and recombinant C-Ros oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1) in Spitz tumors, and to analyze their associations with clinical and histopathological features of Spitz tumors.Methods:Clinical and histopathological characteristics, as well as follow-up data, were collected from patients with Spitz tumors at Department of Pathology, Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2017 to August 2023, and retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemical staining for ALK, pan-TRK, and ROS1 was performed on skin tissues, and associations between the expression of these kinase proteins and clinicopathological features were analyzed.Results:A total of 57 patients with Spitz tumors were collected, including 36 females and 21 males. Immunohistochemical staining showed that 30 (52.6%) patients were positive for ALK, 4 (7.0%) were positive for ROS1, only 2 (3.5%) were positive for TRK, and 21 (36.8%) were negative for the three kinase proteins. Among the 30 ALK-positive patients, the median age was 9.5 years, 21 (70.0%) were females, and 15 (50.0%) presented with lesions on the face, which mainly manifested as papules or nodules; histologically, 29 (96.7%) patients had hypopigmented tumors with an exophytic growth pattern, and the tumor cells were mainly large and long spindle cells arranged in long cord-like, plexiform or fascicular patterns. Among the 4 ROS1-positive patients, there were 3 females and 1 male, presenting with exophytic papules or polyps; histologically, tumor cells were mostly arranged in small nests, without obvious clefts around cell nests. Two TRK-positive patients were both males aged 20 and 50 years respectively, and presented with brown and skin-colored flat papules, respectively; histologically, the tumors were located superficially with a flat base, and tumor cells spread in a pagetoid pattern in the epidermis, with some epithelioid cells and small cell nests. Among the 21 patients negative for the 3 kinase proteins, 9 were males and 12 were females, and they clinically presented with macules, papules and polypoid lesions; histologically, most tumors were located superficially, consisting of a mixture of epithelioid cells and spindle cells, with rare cytological atypia and mitotic figures, and 2 cases showed mild tissue structural and cellular atypia. Fifty-seven patients were followed up for 2 - 83.3 months, with a median follow-up of 19.2 months. Only 1 ALK-positive child experienced a recurrence, and no recurrence or lymph node metastasis was observed in the other cases.Conclusions:Among the three kinase proteins, ALK showed the highest positive rate in Spitz tumors in this study, while TRK- and ROS1-positive cases were sporadic. Histopathologically, ALK-positive Spitz tumor cells were mainly long spindle cells arranged in long cord-like or plexiform patterns, while TRK- and ROS1-positive Spitz tumors tended to have small cell nests. Both the kinase protein-positive and -negative Spitz tumors mostly had a good prognosis.

Objective To monitor the antifungal resistance of clinical isolates of Candida spp.in the East China region.Methods MALDI-TOF MS or molecular methods were used to re-identify the strains collected from January 2018 to December 2022.Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using the broth microdilution method.The susceptibility test results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of 2022 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)documents M27 M44s-Ed3 and M57s-Ed4.Results A total of 3 026 strains of Candida were collected,65.33％of which were isolated from sterile body sites,mainly from blood(38.86％)and pleural effusion/ascites(10.21％).The predominant species of Candida were Candida albicans(44.51％),followed by Candida parapsilosis complex(19.46％),Candida tropicalis(13.98％),Candida glabrata(10.34％),and other Candida species(0.79％).Candida albicans showed overall high susceptibility rates to the 10 antifungal drugs tested(the lowest rate being 93.62％).Only 2.97％of the strains showed dose-dependent susceptibility(SDD)to fluconazole.Candida parapsilosis complex had a SDD rate of 2.61％and a resistance rate of 9.42％to fluconazole,and susceptibility rates above 90％to other drugs.Candida glabrata had a SDD rate of 92.01％and a resistance rate of 7.99％to fluconazole,resistance rates of 32.27％and 48.24％to posaconazole and voriconazole non-wild-type strains(NWT),respectively,and susceptibility rates above 90％to other drugs.Candida tropicalis had resistance rates of 29.55％and 26.24％to fluconazole and voriconazole,respectively,resistance rates of 76.60％and 21.99％to posaconazole and echinocandins non-wild-type strains(NWT),and a resistance rate of 2.36％to echinocandins.Conclusions The prevalence and species distribution of Candida spp.in the East China region are consistent with previous domestic and international reports.Candida glabrata exhibits certain degree of resistance to fluconazole,while Candida tropicalis demonstrates higher resistance to triazole drugs.Additionally,echinocandins resistance has emerged in Candida albicans,Candida glabrata,Candida tropicalis,and Candida parapsilosis.

Objective:To systematically review qualitative research on maternal participation in skin-to-skin contact experience during cesarean delivery, the promotion of skin-to-skin contact in cesarean section.Methods:We searched databases including the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Ebsco, SinoMed, Wan Fang, CNKI, VIP. All of the qualitative research on the real experience of skin-to-skin contact from the participation of caesarean section women were collected. The search time limit was from the establishment of the databases to May 2022. The JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies from Australia was used to evaluate the methodology quality of the included research, and the meta-aggregation was used to conduct the synthesis.Results:Totally 11 qualified studies were included and integrated into 49 valuable findings. Similar results were summarized into 12 groups, and 4 integrated results were synthesized, including the needs of cesarean section mothers; positive experience after skin-to-skin contact in caesarean section; skin-to-skin contact practice strengthen the role of mothers and promotes breastfeeding; difficulties and challenges of skin-to-skin contact during cesarean section.Conclusions:Skin-to-skin contact positively affects mother and infant delivered by cesarean section. Medical staff need to pay attention to the feelings and needs of cesarean section women participating in skin-to-skin contact, optimize information, environment, and humanistic support, and improve skin-to-skin contact practices. Medical institutions should rationally allocate obstetric resources to alleviate the difficulties faced by skin-to-skin contact practices.

Objective:To discuss the classification and treatment of ureteroileal anastomotic stricture (UAS) after radical cystectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 34 patients with UAS after radical cystectomy in the Department of Urology of Tongji Hospital from January 2017 to January 2022 were reviewed and analyzed. There were 25 males and 9 females. The average age was (66.3±7.7)years, including 2 cases of bilateral hydronephrosis and 32 cases of unilateral hydronephrosis. The average time of UAS was detected (14.7±6.5)months after radical cystectomy. There were 32 patients of unilateral hydronephrosis and 2 patients of bilateral hydronephrosis. Two patients had undergone nephrostomy in an external hospital. Three patients had elevated leukocytes in blood routine. Among them, two patients had fever. First, nephrostomy on the hydronephrosis side and anti-infection treatment were performed. After routine blood tests showed that the white blood cells were normal and antibiotics were stopped for 24 hours without fever, the operation was performed. 34 patients had preoperative hydronephrosis of (2.7±0.6) cm. Of the 34 cases in this group, 5 cases were injected with methylene blue through a preoperative nephrostomy tube, and 29 were injected with methylene blue through the renal pelvis using an 18G puncture needle under ultrasound guidance. Using a ureteroscope to observe in the ileal bladder, methylene blue was seen in 4 cases. Methylene blue was used to guide the search for the stenosis and a super smooth guide wire was inserted. Among them, 3 cases were dilated with a 5 mm ureteral dilation balloon catheter, 1 case was dilated with a F14 ureteral access sheath, and then a F6 single J stent was inserted. Methylene blue was not seen in the ileal conduit in 30 cases, of which 16 cases were treated with a flexible ureteroscope through the nephrostomy to locate the stenosis, incised with a 30 W holmium laser. 9 cases were treated with 5 mm ureteral dilation balloon catheter, and 7 cases were treated with a F14 ureteral access sheath, and then an F6 single J stent was inserted. 14 cases were unable to find the stenosis by antegrade method. According to the operation time and patient's condition, it was decided to perform immediate or second stage dual endoscope surgery. Through the nephrostomy, a flexible ureteroscope was used to enter the stenosis along the super slide guide wire. A rigid ureteroscope was used to observe the stenosis through the ileal conduit, and the stenosis was found. The stenosis was found in 10 cases and incised with a 30 W holmium laser. 8 cases were treated with 5 mm ureteral dilation balloon catheter, and 2 cases were treated with a F14 ureteral access sheath, and then an F6 single J stent was inserted. 4 cases were still unable to accurately locate the stenosis using the dual endoscope surgery(one case was bilateral stenosis, and one side was relieved), and continued indwelling nephrostomy. The definition of successful removal of stricture in this study is that an F6 single J stent can be inserted into the ureter.Results:UAS were classified into four types based on the severity of the intraoperative findings: Type Ⅰ, the narrow ureteral lumen is more than 50% narrower than the normal ureteral lumen, but methylene blue can pass through in strands; Type Ⅱ, needle like stricture of the ureteral lumen, allowing only methylene blue filaments to pass through; Type Ⅲ, membranous atresia of the ureter, with a narrow segment of 1 to 3 mm in length, and methylene blue cannot pass through; Type Ⅳ, long segment stenosis. Of the 34 cases in this group, 4 cases were type Ⅰ, and the stenosis was dredged by retrograde method; 16 cases were type Ⅱ, and the stenotic segments were dredged by antegrade method; 10 cases were type Ⅲ, and the stenosis was dredged by the dual endoscope surgery; Four cases were of type Ⅳ (one case was of bilateral UAS, one side was of type Ⅲ, and the other side was of type Ⅳ, which was classified as type Ⅳ). The stenotic segment could not be solved through the above methods. Among the 34 patients, 30 patients were successfully relieved of anastomotic obstruction, and 1 patient with bilateral obstruction was unilaterally relieved of anastomotic obstruction. In the other 3 cases, because the stenosis segment was too long, 2 cases were changed to nephrostomy, and 1 case was changed to open surgery, with a success rate of 88.2%. UAS was classified into 4 types based on the severity of UAS seen during surgery. No serious complications occurred during and after the operation. During the follow-up of 6-24 months, the imaging evaluation of 4 patients showed that hydronephrosis was aggravated, with an average increase in creatinine of (32.5±10.9)μmol/L, requiring replacement of a single J tube. The imaging evaluation of the remaining 26 patients showed that the postoperative hydronephrosis was 0.9 ± 0.6 cm less than the preoperative hydronephrosis 2.6 ± 0.6 cm, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.01). The quality of life score at 3 months after surgery was (1.9±0.6), which was significantly improved compared to the preoperative indwelling nephrostomy period (5.2±0.7), with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.01) Conclusions:The treatment of UAS after radical cystectomy with retrograde, antegrade, and dual endoscope surgery has a high success rate, which can help some patients avoid the inconvenience of indwelling external drainage tubes and the risk of open surgery. Choosing an appropriate surgical method can achieve the goal of treating UAS with minimal trauma.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of omalizumab in the treatment of patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria accompanied by other allergic diseases.Methods:Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 74 patients, who were clinically diagnosed with chronic spontaneous urticaria and other allergic diseases, and received subcutaneous injections of omalizumab in the Department of Allergy, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from June 2020 to September 2022. Types of allergic diseases, serum total IgE (tIgE) and allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) levels before treatment, treatment outcomes and adverse drug reactions were analyzed. Differences before and after treatment were assessed using paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank sum test. Results:A total of 74 patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria were involved, including 29 with complicated allergic asthma (39.2%) , 61 with complicated allergic rhinitis (82.4%) , 6 with complicated atopic dermatitis (8.1%) , and 4 with food allergy (5.4%) . Before treatment, elevated serum tIgE or sIgE levels were observed in 44 (59.5%) patients. After the first omalizumab treatment, the urticaria control test (UCT) score significantly increased compared with that before treatment (16.00 [13.0.0, 16.00] vs. 6.00 [5.75, 9.00], Z = 7.39, P < 0.001) ; after 4 sessions of the omalizumab treatment, 82.5% (33/40) of the patients achieved complete control of urticaria symptoms or showed complete response. After omalizumab treatment, asthmatic attacks were decreased in 29 patients with allergic asthma, and asthma control test (ACT) scores significantly increased compared with those before treatment (21.07 ± 2.88 points [after the first treatment] vs. 18.48 ± 3.20 points [before treatment], t = 8.87, P < 0.001) ; among 61 patients with allergic rhinitis, global rhinitis symptom-based visual analog scale (VAS) scores (before treatment: 5.89 ± 1.29 points; after the first treatment: 3.28 ±1.46 points) and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) scores (before treatment: 60.10 ± 20.53 points; after the first treatment: 37.26 ± 18.83 points) both significantly decreased after the first treatment ( t = 15.04, 10.01, respectively, both P < 0.001) , and rhinitis symptoms were relieved at the same time; skin itching was relieved in 4 patients with atopic dermatitis, and allergic symptoms after contact with food allergens were also relieved in the 2 patients with food allergy after omalizumab treatment. During the treatment, only 1 patient experienced erythematous swelling, induration, and pain at the injection site. Conclusions:In the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria accompanied by allergic diseases, the use of omalizumab not only effectively improved urticaria symptoms, but also well controlled allergic diseases, with a good safety profile. Multiple benefits may be achieved by the use of omalizumabin in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria accompanied by other allergic diseases.

Selective tooth agenesis (STA) is an abnormal number of teeth due to genetic factors or the environment and is most commonly observed for permanent teeth. LRP6 is one of the common causative genes of STA and is inherited by an autosomal dominant mechanism, leading to non-syndrome tooth agenesis (NSTA) or syndrome tooth agenesis (STA). NSTA is only involved in tooth number and appearance abnormalities, whereas STA caused by LRP6 gene mutation results abnormal ear development, oral-facial clefting, sparse hair and hypohidrosis. In this paper, we review the phenotype and gene mutation traits of selective STA caused by LRP6 gene mutation identified in recent years and describe 38 patients with tooth agenesis from 24 mutation sites of LRP6 gene. We analyzed the percentage of missing teeth and found that the lateral incisor in the maxilla and the second premolar in the maxilla and mandible were most commonly lost, whereas all central incisors in the maxilla remained. LRP6 gene plays a major role in tooth development via the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway, and LRP6 gene mutation can lead to a series of abnormal manifestations due to the disruption of the signaling pathway. The literature showed that LRP6 gene mutations occurred mostly at the E1 or E2 subdomain, meaning that STA due to the mutants extracellularly disturbed the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway. However, mature treatments for selective congenital tooth loss are lacking.

To revise GBZ 188 Technical Specification for Occupational Health Surveillance based on national laws, regulations, standards, specifications and legal documents of occupational disease, and combination with the actual situation in China. The main modifications are as follows: the occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to toluene (xylene may implement by reference), bromopropane, methyl iodide, ethylene oxide, chloroacetic acid, indium and its compounds, coal tar, coal tarasphalt, asphalt, β-naphthylamine, dust of metal and its compounds(tin, iron, antimony, barium and its compounds), hard metal dust, erionite dust, low temperature, laser, tick-borne encephalitis virus, Borrelia burgdorferi, and human immunodeficiency virus, for scraper or grind operators, and underground workers using squatting or kneeling position, crawling position, side-lying position, or shoulder position for a long period of time are included. The emergency health screening for workers exposed to arsenic, fluorine and its inorganic compounds, and acrylamide are included. The occupational medical examination (OME) for workers exposed to amino and nitro compounds of benzene, phosgene, monomethylamine, organic fluorine and dimethyl sulfate has been adjusted and made mandatory, with corresponding assessments required upon leaving the job. The special occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to mycobacterium tuberculosis and hepatitis virus is removed. The OME conclusion of reexamination is removed, and standardize recheck/additional inspection requirements. The optional items in OME performed before, during and after leaving post are removed, but the optional items in emergency medical examination are retained. Additional OME items are added. The Guideline for OME Summary Reports is added as informative appendix, and so on. The revised GBZ 188 Technical Specification for Occupational Health Surveillance is more scientific and practical.

Objective:To investigate clinicopathological features and prognosis of transformed mycosis fungoides (TMF) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on clinicopathological data collected from 24 patients with TMF, as well as on flow cytometry results of 16 peripheral blood samples obtained from 11 of the 24 patients, who visited Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between 2014 and 2020.Results:Among the 24 patients, 11 were males and 13 were females. Their average age at diagnosis of TMF was 50.0 years (range: 18 - 77 years), and patients with early-stage TMF (9 cases) and tumor-stage TMF (15 cases) were aged 44.8 and 52.6 years on average, respectively. The average time interval from diagnosis of MF to large cell transformation was 3.7 years, and 8 patients were diagnosed with TMF at the initial visit. Histopathologically, large cells infiltrated in a diffuse pattern in 20 cases, as well as in a multifocal pattern in 4, and the proportion of large cells in 7 cases was greater than 75%. Immunohistochemically, 18 patients showed positive staining for CD30, and the proportion of CD30-positive large cells was greater than 75% in 9; negative staining for CD30 was observed in 6. Flow cytometry of 16 peripheral blood samples showed the presence of cell subsets expressing clonal T cell receptor (TCR) -vβ in 2 of 4 patients with early-stage TMF and 10 of 12 with tumor-stage TMF, and tumor cells with higher forward scatter than normal lymphocytes were detected in 16 samples. During the follow-up, among the patients with early-stage TMF, 3 progressed to tumor-stage TMF 3.3 years on average after large cell transformation, 1 progressed to erythrodermic MF in stage IIIA, and the other 4 still showed an indolent course; among the patients with tumor-stage TMF, 1 progressed to stage-IV TMF, and 5 died 3.3 (1.5 - 6) years after large cell transformation.Conclusion:Large cell transformation may occur in patients with MF in any stage, some patients have poor prognosis, so close follow-up is needed for patients with TMF.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between arch index and foot kinematic parameters and their characteristics in stress fracture of lower extremity.Methods:A case-control study was performed for 108 recruits selected from a certain army unit in 2019. Before training, the recruits′ foot print images were collected by the capacitive plantar pressure measurement system to calculate their arch indices. The kinematic characteristics of the foot were analyzed by the dynamic gait posture analysis system. Spearman rank correlation analysis between arch index and foot kinematic parameters including landing elevation angle, toe-off angle, landing speed, landing varus angle, valgus amplitude and landing valgus speed were performed. Throughout the training, orthopedic physicians followed up the recruits, among whom 10 were excluded due to other types of lower extremity injuries. The arch index and foot kinematic characteristics were analyzed and compared between the remained recruits with stress fracture of lower extremity (fracture group, n=10) and those without lower extremity injury (control group, n=79). Results:(1) For the recruits, the arch index was 0.21(0.12,0.25), with landing elevation angle for (17.31±4.02)°, toe-off angle for (63.90±5.63)°, landing speed for (176.85±24.39)°/s, landing varus angle for (13.64±4.44)°, valgus amplitude for (12.16±3.42)°, and landing valgus speed for 382.50(311.05,474.80)°/s. (2) The landing varus angle ( r=0.25, P<0.01) and valgus amplitude ( r=0.14, P<0.05) were positively related to the arch index. (3) The arch index, toe-off angle and landing valgus speed were 0.20(0.07,0.24), (61.59±5.51)° and 336.00(251.02,428.67)°/s in fracture group, significantly lower than 0.23(0.17,0.26), (64.79±4.79)° and 381.20(313.63,470.92)°/s in control group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There were no significant differences in the landing elevation angle, landing speed, landing varus angle and valgus amplitude between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The change of the arch index can affect the landing varus angle and valgus amplitude of the foot. Recruits who suffer from stress fracture of lower extremity have the characteristics of higher arch, lower toe-off angle and lower landing valgus speed.
