Article Abstract
To evaluate the therapeutic effect of a modified Devine procedure with a subcutaneous sliding fixation method for the treatment of congenital concealed penis, we retrospectively selected 45 patients with congenital concealed penises who were admitted to General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University (Yinchuan, China) between September 2020 and November 2023. In all cases, the penis was observed to be short, and retracting the skin at the base revealed a normal penile body, which immediately returned to its original position upon release. All patients underwent the modified Devine procedure with subcutaneous sliding fixation and completed a 12-week postoperative follow-up. A statistically significant increase in penile length was observed postoperatively, with the median length increasing from 4.0 (interquartile range [IQR]: 3.5-4.8; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.9-4.4) cm to 8.0 (IQR: 7.8-8.0; 95% CI: 7.7-7.9) cm, with P < 0.001. The parents were satisfied with the outcomes, including increased penile length, improved hygiene, and enhanced esthetics. Except for mild foreskin edema in all cases, no complications (such as infections, skin necrosis, or penile retraction) were observed. The edema was resolved within 4 weeks after the operation. This study demonstrates that the modified Devine procedure utilizing the subcutaneous sliding fixation method yields excellent outcomes with minimal postoperative complications, reduced penile retraction, and high satisfaction rates among patients and their families.

Disease activity trajectories in paediatric lupus and associations with socioeconomic factors and patient-reported pain.

Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Objective: Using data from participants with paediatric SLE (pSLE) in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry, we aimed to: (1) describe 2-year disease activity trajectories, measured by the SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI 2K); (2) identify characteristics associated with each trajectory and (3) assess achievement of lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) and associated baseline characteristics.
Methods: Participants were diagnosed with pSLE within 12 months of baseline visit. Baseline sociodemographic, clinical and treatment characteristics were included in latent trajectory analyses.
Hemocompatibility of cyclodextrin-coated magnetic nanoparticles under uremic conditions.

The accumulation of uremic toxins, a hallmark of kidney failure in hemodialysis-dependent patients, highlights hemodialysis's limits to effectively removing a broad range of toxins. Adsorption-based strategies have emerged as a promising solution. However, a critical gap remains in understanding the hemocompatibility of these materials in the context of kidney failure.

Survey and detection of the spotted lanternfly, (White), rely either on traps that exploit the insect's behavior as it navigates its environment, or on visual surveys of either its mobile life stages or egg masses. A recently described egg mass trap, coined the "lampshade" trap, can assist with early detection in newly infested areas, provide egg masses for researchers, and potentially facilitate spotted lanternfly population reduction by removal of egg masses from the environment. Here, we describe a modified lampshade trap, the sconce trap, that uses less material, can be pre-cut prior to deployment, and can be deployed by one person, representing potential cost, labor, and time savings.

Objective: To account for the chronic time course of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), we assessed medication changes by disease activity patterns across 2 sequential timepoints.
Methods: Patients with non-systemic JIA enrolled in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry with complete clinical Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Scores (cJADAS) at 6 and 12-month registry visits were included. Disease activity was classified by cJADAS categories (inactive/minimal, moderate/high).
BMI-1 (B cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1) has been implicated in both normal and cancer cell biology. While the canonical function of BMI-1 involves epigenetic repression, novel extra-nuclear functions have been recently reported. In the present study, we demonstrate that the phosphorylation of BMI-1 in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) cells occurs in M phase and that triggers simultaneous translocation of the phosphorylated BMI-1 to the cytoplasm.
