Clinical data of a patient with alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) treated at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was initially diagnosed with abdominal ASPS with multiple lung metastases. After 6 weeks of treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab, the patient achieved stable disease (SD). In the 7th week, the treatment was changed to a combination of nivolumab (30 mg, d1, q3w), anlotinib (8 mg, d1-14, q3w) and ipilimumab (50 mg, d1, q6w). The patient remained SD at the 12th week. The patient then underwent iliac artery embolization and intensity-modulated radiation therapy for the lesion in the psoas major muscle, while continuing the combination treatment. By the 24th week, the evaluation showed partial remission (PR) of both primary tumor and lung metastases. The patient experienced mild adverse reactions during treatment.

ObjectiveTo reveal the mechanism of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription against damage to hippocampal synaptic microenvironment via suppressing glutamate receptor 2 （GluR2）/Parkin signal-mediated mitophagy in rats with diabetes-related depression （DD）. MethodsEighty male SD rats underwent adaptive feeding for 5 days before the study. Ten rats were randomly assigned to the normal group. The model of DD rats was established with the rest by 2-week high-fat diet + streptozotocin （STZ） tail intravenous injection + 28 days of chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS） combined with isolation. The rats were randomly divided into a normal group， a model group， a GluR2 blocker group （5 μg·kg^-1）， a GluR2 agonist group （10 μg·kg^-1）， a metformin + fluoxetine group （0.18 g·kg^-1 metformin + 1.8 mg·kg^-1 fluoxetine）， and high- and low-dose Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription groups （20.52 and 10.26 g·kg^-1， respectively）. The rats in the GluR2 blocker group and the GluR2 agonist group were continuously injected with CNQX and Cl-HIBO in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus once a week starting from stress modeling， respectively， while the metformin + fluoxetine group and the high- and low-dose Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription groups were continuously given intragastric administration for 28 d at the same time of stress modeling. Depression-like behavior was evaluated by open field and forced swimming experiments. The levels of serum insulin and adenosine triphosphate （ATP） in hippocampus were detected by biochemical analysis. The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） and dopamine （DA） in hippocampus were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The autophagosomes of hippocampal neurons were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The morphology and structure of dendrites and spines of hippocampal neurons were evaluated by Golgi staining. Western blot detected the expression levels of GluR2 and Parkin proteins in hippocampus. The expression levels of GluR2， Parkin， regulating synaptic membrane exocytosis protein 3 （RIMS3）， and postsynaptic density protein 95 （PSD95） in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus were detected by immunofluorescence. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group exhibited reduced total activity distance in the open field and increased immobility time in forced swimming （P<0.01）， lowered levels of serum insulin and ATP， 5-HT， and DA in hippocampus （P<0.01）， increased autophagosomes of hippocampal neurons， significantly damaged morphology and structure of dendrites and spines of hippocampal neurons， decreased expression levels of GluR2， RIMS3， and PSD95 in hippocampus， and an increased Parkin expression level （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the GluR2 blocker group and the GluR2 agonist group showed aggravation and alleviation of the above abnormal changes， respectively （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The above depression-like behavior was significantly improved in the high- and low-dose Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu prescription groups to different degrees. Specifically， the two groups saw elevated levels of serum insulin and ATP， 5-HT， and DA in hippocampus （P<0.05， P<0.01）， restrained increase in autophagosomes and damage to morphology and structure of dendrites and spines of hippocampal neurons， up-regulated protein expression levels of GluR2， RIMS3， and PSD95， and down-regulated Parkin expression level （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionZuogui Jiangtong Jieyu prescription can ameliorate the mitophagy-mediated damage to hippocampal synaptic microenvironment in DD rats， the mechanism of which might be related to the regulation of GluR2/Parkin signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To retrospectively analyze the drug resistance characteristics of the patients with multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)infections who were hospitalized from 2022 to 2023 and observe the effect of multi-disciplinary teamwork(MDT)mode so as to provide scientific bases for prevention and control of MDROs infec-tions and hospital-associated infections.METHODS A total of 639 patients with MDROs infection who were hospi-talized in Jianyang People's Hospital from Jan.2022 to Dec.2023 were recruited as the research subjects.The clinical data were collected from the patients,the drug resistance characteristics of bacteria were analyzed.The effects of MDT and pharmacological supervision on treatment of the patients with MDROs infection were observed and compared.RESULTS The methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)(359 strains,56.18％)was dominant among the pathogens isolated from the 639 patients with MDROs infections,followed by the carbapen-em-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)(96 strains,15.02％)and carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter bau-mannii(82 strains,12.83％).Of the patients with MDROs infection,150(23.47％)were from critical care medicine department,94(14.71％)from pediatrics department,and 82(12.83％)from general surgery de-partment.The result of drug susceptibility test showed that the S.aureus strains were susceptible to linezolid,daptomycin,vancomycin and tigecycline;most of the gram-negative bacteria were susceptible to carbapenems,while the A.baumannii strains were highly resistant to the commonly used antibiotics.The total isolation rate of MDROs and the case-time infection rate of MDROs infections were 14.32％and 0.05％,respectively,after MDT and pharmacological supervision were carried out,lower than those before carried out;the effective treatment rate of the patients with MDROs was 76.47％after MDT and pharmacological supervision were carried out,higher than that before they were carried out,and there were significant differences(all P＜0.05).CONCLUSION MDT and pharmacological supervision may improve the curative effect of the patients with MDROs infection and reduce the isolation rate of MDROs as well as the incidence of hospital-associated infections.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of pan cytokeratin (CKpan)-positive EWSR1/FUS::CREB fusion malignant tumors in abdominopelvic cavity.Methods:Four cases of malignant tumor with CKpan-positive EWSR1/FUS::CREB fusion were selected from January 2019 to July 2024 in the Department of Pathology, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital, Tianjin, China. Their clinical, pathological, and immunohistochemical characteristics were examined. Their molecular genetic characteristics were analyzed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and next-generation sequencing (NGS).Results:Among the 4 patients, there were 2 males and 2 females, aged 44, 44, 48 and 66 years, respectively. The tumor sites included 1 case located between the stomach and transverse colon, 1 case on the serous surface of the gastric wall, 1 case in the transverse mesocolon, and 1 case in transverse mesocolon and small mesentery. The clinical manifestations were mostly abdominal distension and abdominal pain. The maximum diameter of the tumor in the surgical resection specimen was 3.5-8.5 cm. The tumor′s cut surface was grayish-white and gray-yellow in color, with medium consistency. Microscopically, the tumor cells were mainly composed of epithelioid tumor cells, and 2 of the tumors showed that tumor cells arranged in a solid sheet or multinodular pattern, and the cytoplasm of the tumor cells was abundant, lightly stained, and the boundaries were unclear, accompanied by the formation of capsules or microcapsules, and lymphocyte and plasma cell sleeves were seen. In one case, the pseudopapillary arrangement was present, and the tumor cells were radially distributed around the fibrovascular axis. In another case, it was arranged in a pseudoacinar pattern, and the nest was surrounded by slender reticular fibers. Immunohistochemistry showed that tumor cells expressed CKpan (4/4) and WT1 (4/4, including 1 focal positive). Vimentin, CK8/18, D2-40 and S-100 were expressed in various intensities, while Calretinin was locally positive or negative. FISH showed that 2 cases had EWSR1 break-apart and 2 cases had FUS break-apart. NGS confirmed the presence of EWSR1::CREM fusion (1 case) and FUS::CREM fusion (2 cases), respectively. Except for 1 recently diagnosed case, 3 cases were followed up: 1 patient died due to tumor recurrence and metastasis (overall survival was 33 months), and 2 patients survived (1 case had recurrence 58 months after surgery, and 1 case had no recurrence or metastasis after surgery).Conclusions:CKpan-positive EWSR1/FUS::CREB fusion malignant tumor is a rare malignancy tumor with undetermined classification that tends to occur in the abdominopelvic cavity and often involves the gastrointestinal tract. Molecular testing such as FISH and NGS is helpful for a definitive diagnosis.

Objective:To analyze the burden and trends of noncommunicable chronic disease(NCD) attributable to metabolic factors in China from 1990 to 2021.Methods:Data from the Global Burden of Diseases(GBD) 2021 database were utilized to describe changes in mortality and disability-adjusted life years(DALYs) of NCD in China from 1990 to 2021. Stratified analyses were conducted by age, sex, sociodemographic index(SDI), and related risk factors. Statistical analyses and predictions were conducted using the age-period-cohort model and the Nordpred model.Results:In 2021, the age-standardized mortality rate and age-standardized DALYs rate of NCD attributable to metabolic factors in China were 227.56 per 100 000 and 4 829.39 per 100 000, respectively. Their average annual percentage changes were -0.76%( P<0.001) and -0.77%( P<0.001). Overall, the burden decreased progressively with higher SDI levels. Analysis using the age-period-cohort model indicated reduced birth cohort and period effects for metabolic factor-attributable NCD, while age effects rose significantly. The minimum relative risk( RR) value was observed in the 15-19 age group( RR=0.01), and the maximum RR value occurred in the 95-99 age group( RR=996.86). The overall rising mortality trend indicated that age effects are the predominant driver at present. Projections estimate that by 2046, deaths from metabolic factor-attributable NCD in China will reach 8 189 563, with an age-standardized mortality rate of 236.95 per 100 000. Conclusions:China continues to face a substantial burden of NCD linked to metabolic factors, with older adults, males, and individuals with hypertension, diabetes, and prediabetes identified as key populations requiring targeted interventions.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.
