[Objective] To explore the clinical features of IgG4-related urinary diseases so as to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases. [Methods] The clinical data of 4 cases of IgG4-related urinary system diseases diagnosed and treated in Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University during Aug.2019 and Dec.2023 were retrospectively collected.Here, we report on the diagnosis and treatment of these patients, analysing their symptoms, serology, imaging and pathology as well as their treatment and outcomes. [Results] The patients included 2 male and 2 female.The lesions were involved with the retroperitoneum and urinary system.Three patients had symptoms of lumbar pain.The imaging manifestations were complex, including retroperitoneal mass involving urinary system organs in 2 cases, tabdense shadow of the right kidney in 1 case, and simple cystic mass of kidney in 1 case.Serum IgG4 value was not detected before surgery.All patients underwent radical surgical treatment.Postoperative pathology showed fibrous tissue hyperplasia with a large number of plasma cells, lymphocytes, a few neutrophil infiltrates, and lymphoid follicles and obliterated vasculitis in some specimens.The number of IgG4⁺ plasma cells was more than 10 in all tissues under high power microscope.After surgery, 3 patients had symptoms improved, and serum IgG4 value was within the normal range; 1 patient (patem 3) had elevated IgG4 value during follow-up, received subsequent hormone therapy, and the serum IgG 4 level remained stable. [Conclusion] The symptoms of IgG4-related diseases involving the urinary system are non-specific, and the imaging findings are various, easily confused with other diseases.Early detection of serum IgG4 and biopsy pathology can help clinicians make correct diagnosis in the early stage.

Heart failure (HF) is the end-stage of all cardiac diseases, characterized by high prevalence, high mortality, and heavy social and economic burden. Early warning of HF exacerbation is of great value for outpatient management and reducing readmission rates. Currently, remote dynamic monitoring technology, which captures changes in hemodynamic and physiological parameters of HF patients, has become the primary method for early warning and is a hot research topic in clinical studies. This paper systematically reviews the progress in this field, which was categorized into invasive monitoring based on implanted devices, non-invasive monitoring based on wearable devices, and other monitoring technologies based on audio and video. Invasive monitoring primarily involves direct hemodynamic parameters such as left atrial pressure and pulmonary artery pressure, while non-invasive monitoring covers parameters such as thoracic impedance, electrocardiogram, respiration, and activity levels. These parameters exhibit characteristic changes in the early stages of HF exacerbation. Given the clinical heterogeneity of HF patients, multi-source information fusion analysis can significantly improve the prediction accuracy of early warning models. The results of this study suggest that, compared with invasive monitoring, non-invasive monitoring technology, with its advantages of good patient compliance, ease of operation, and cost-effectiveness, combined with AI-driven multimodal data analysis methods, shows significant clinical application potential in establishing an outpatient management system for HF.

Macroautophagy (referred to as autophagy hereafter) is a major intracellular lysosomal degradation pathway that is responsible for the degradation of misfolded/damaged proteins and organelles. Previous studies showed that autophagy protects against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced injury (AILI) via selective removal of damaged mitochondria and APAP protein adducts. The lysosome is a critical organelle sitting at the end stage of autophagy for autophagic degradation via fusion with autophagosomes. In the present study, we showed that transcription factor EB (TFEB), a master transcription factor for lysosomal biogenesis, was impaired by APAP resulting in decreased lysosomal biogenesis in mouse livers. Genetic loss-of and gain-of function of hepatic TFEB exacerbated or protected against AILI, respectively. Mechanistically, overexpression of TFEB increased clearance of APAP protein adducts and mitochondria biogenesis as well as SQSTM1/p62-dependent non-canonical nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) activation to protect against AILI. We also performed an unbiased cell-based imaging high-throughput chemical screening on TFEB and identified a group of TFEB agonists. Among these agonists, salinomycin, an anticoccidial and antibacterial agent, activated TFEB and protected against AILI in mice. In conclusion, genetic and pharmacological activating TFEB may be a promising approach for protecting against AILI.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and short-term prognosis of laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer guided by superior mesenteric artery and superior mesenteric vein.Methods 80 patients with right colon cancer of cT2-4 and/or N0-2M0 admitted from January 2020 to October 2022 were selected as the research objects,and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 40 patients in each group.The observation group was treated with SMA-oriented laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer,while the control group was treated with SMV-oriented laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer.The curative effect and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in general condition,operation time,gastric tube placement time,recovery time of farting,postoperative fasting time,postoperative drainage time,postoperative nutritional index,total incidence of complications and postoperative hospitalization time(P>0.05).The lymph nodes in the observation group were significantly more than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).In the observation group,the lymph nodes in the anterior and left side of superior mesenteric artery were examined(No.D3),and 273 lymph nodes were detected,and Seven patients(17.5% )were diagnosed with D3 metastasis,and 13 lymph nodes were positive(5.2% ).Conclusion Laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer guided by superior mesenteric artery,without increasing the incidence of complications and high safety,can more thoroughly clean lymph nodes and reduce tumor recurrence,which is expected to significantly improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective To study the core behavioral symptoms,biological indicators,and pathological changes of a mouse model of breast cancer complicated with depression induced using 4T1 breast cancer cell inoculation combined with chronic restraint stress(CRS).Methods BABL/c mice were randomly divided into Control,Stress,Tumor,and stress combined with tumor(S+T)groups.Mice in the tumor and S+T groups were inoculated under the front legs with breast cancer 4T1 cells.After tumor formation,mice in the stress and S+T groups were subjected to CRS for 21 days.The body weight and food intake of each group were monitored during modeling.After the experiment,the occurrence of depression-like behavior of mice in each group was evaluated by sucrose preference test,open field test,elevated plus-maze test,and forced swimming test.After the mice were decapitated,the weights and volumes of the tumors were measured.Concentrations of serum tumor markers,including carbohydrate antigen(CA199),carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),and related neurotransmitters,including 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),norepinephrine(NE),and corticosterone(CORT),were determined using ELISA.HE staining was used to observe histopathological changes to the hippocampus and tumor.Results In S+T group mice,body weight and food intake were significantly decreased,tumor weight and volume were significantly increased,serum tumor marker(CA199,CEA,VEGF)levels were significantly increased,enthusiasm and desire to explore a new environment were reduced,stress and despair behaviors were significantly increased,and levels of the serum neurotransmitters 5-HT and NE and levels of CORT were significantly increased.In addition,the cell arrangement in the tumor tissue was loose,the amount of intercellular substance decreased,the pathological nuclear classification phase was increased,the arrangement and morphology of neurons in the CA3 region of the hippocampus were disordered,and there were obvious nuclear vacuolation-like changes.Conclusions A mouse model of breast cancer complicated with depression induced by 4T1 breast cancer cell inoculation combined with CRS showed the typical dual symptoms and biological indicators of breast cancer and depression and can be used as a good reference model for experimental studies of breast cancer complicated with depression.

YE Tianshi possessed a comprehensive theoretical system and extensive therapeutic experience in the treatment of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi,all of which was recorded in his medical records.YE Tianshi elucidated the characteristics of the pathogenesis of the three types of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi,namely spring warmth,summer heat,and winter warmth,and explained the pathogenesis of latent pathogenic qi from the perspective of vital qi and pathogen,and pointed out that the weakness of vital qi and the pathogenic qi led to the concealment of pathogenic qi,and that the struggle between vital qi and pathogen led to the onset of latent pathogenic qi.In the treatment,YE Tianshi emphasized the importance of clearly identifying the level of qi and blood in the internal organs where the latent pathogenic qi is located,and focused on the syndrome differentiation of weifen,qifen,yingfen,and xuefen,and combined with the syndrome differentiation of zang-fu viscera,the principle and method of treatment and medication law of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi were formulated.Although warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi is a heat syndrome,YE Tianshi also attached importance to the deficiency and excess of yang qi,pointed out that latent pathogenic qi had the possibility of transforming into cold syndrome,and discussed the rules of medication for cold latent pathogenic qi in the spleen,kidney,and eight extraordinary meridians.YE Tianshi's treatment of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi not only emphasizes the nourishment of yin,but also emphasizes clearing qi and blood,and the circulation of qi in order to clear and penetrate the evil qi;he also pays attention to the sanjiao transmission of the latent pathogenic evil.The study of the law of YE Tianshi's differentiation and treatment of warm disease caused by latent pathogenic qi may provide ideas for the clinical treatment of COVID-19,as well as diseases in various disciplines.
