Gorham-Stout disease(GSD) is a rare osteolytic disorder characterized by spontaneous and progressive osteolysis, along with abnormal angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, with no new bone formation. We present a case of a 15-year-old female admitted due to " recurrent right leg pain for 5 years, 11 months after undergoing right femoral fracture surgery". Through comprehensive integration of the patient's clinical phenotype, laboratory tests, imaging findings, pathological examinations, and molecular biological test results, GSD was considered highly likely. A multidisciplinary treatment approach was conducted, including a combination of zoledronic acid and sirolimus to inhibit osteolysis, along with rehabilitation training and orthopedic intervention, providing a personalized and comprehensive treatment strategy.

Effective symptom management can alleviate the physical and psychological distress experienced by patients with cancer, improve quality of life, and contribute to treatment adherence and improve clinical outcomes. However, most existing guidelines are developed for healthcare professionals, and patients and the public have limited access to standardized and comprehensible guidance on symptom management. To address this gap and to facilitate effective communication and shared decision-making, this study proposes the development of a patient version of the cancer symptom management guideline. The development process will adhere to the methodological framework recommended by the Guidelines International Network and the World Health Organization. The GRADE approach will be employed to assess the certainty of evidence and to formulate recommendations. In addition, the process will be informed by the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ (AGREE Ⅱ) instrument and the Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare-Public or Patient Versions of Guidelines (RIGHT-PVG). This protocol outlines the establishment of the guideline working group, the identification and prioritization of key questions, evidence retrieval and appraisal, and the formulation of recommendations, with the aim of ensuring methodological rigor and transparency in the development of the patient guideline and providing methodological reference for similar guideline initiatives.

Objective:To analyze the value advantages of multimodal ultrasound in the diagnosis of benign and malignant nodules of 4a grade of nodules of Chinese thyroid imaging reporting and data system (C-TIRADS) of diffuse thyroid nodules. Methods:A total of 227 diffuse thyroid nodules (116 malignant nodules and 111 benign nodules) from 219 patients who admitted to Baoji Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Medical University between January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively selected. Two-dimensional ultrasound and multimodal ultrasound were used to diagnose diffuse thyroid nodules,and to perform data analysis. There were 49 males and 170 females,ranging in age from 24 to 72 years old,whose average age was 52.31±10.08 years. The result of pathological diagnosis was used as the "gold standard",and the results of pathological diagnosis and the parameters of multimodal ultrasound for diffuse thyroid nodules were compared. The diagnostic efficiency of the results of multimodal ultrasound and two-dimensional ultrasound for diffuse thyroid nodules was compared and analyzed. Results:As the results of pathological diagnosis,the scores of contrast-enhanced ultrasound,micro blood flow imaging,elastography and malignant risk score of multimodal ultrasound technique of malignant diffuse thyroid nodules were significantly higher than those of benign nodules (Z=-4.258,-5.007,-5.631,P<0.05),respectively. The sensitivity (92.24%) and specificity (92.79%) of multimodal ultrasound were significantly higher than those (75.00% and 83.78%) of two-dimensional ultrasound (x2=12.588,4.356,P<0.05),respectively. The positively predictive values (93.04%) and negatively predictive values (91.96%) of multimodal ultrasound were significantly higher than those (82.86% and 76.23%) of two-dimensional ultrasound (x2=5.465,10.629,P<0.05),respectively. Conclusion:For the judgment of benign and malignant nodules of C-TIRADS 4a in the background of diffuse thyroid nodules,the application of multimodal ultrasound technique,especially the combined use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound,elastography and micro blood flow imaging,can greatly improve the accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis of these diseases.

Aim To investigate the effect of eplerenone(EPL)on the alleviation of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)based on voltage-gated potassium channel 1.3(Kv1.3)/B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)to inhibit macrophage M1 polarization in mice.Methods Bioinformatics technology was used to screen disease pathways and targets,and the binding affinity and stability of EPL-Kv1.3 complex system were calculated.A mouse model of RA was established and treated with EPL by intragastric administration for 42 days.The indicators reflecting drug remission of RA were recorded and detected.RAW264.7 cells were treated with EPL to detect the indicators reflecting the effect of drugs on macrophage M1 polarization,and to verify the upstream and downstream key targets of re-lated signaling pathways mediated by drugs.Results Bioinformatics analysis showed that the disease targets were mainly involved in inflammatory response and NF-κB signaling pathway,and EPL-Kv1.3 had high affinity and stable binding.In animal experiments,the detec-tion of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody(CCP-Ab)and joint score indicated the successful establish-ment of the model.Compared with the model group,EPL could reduce the toe redness and swelling score,alleviate the plantar redness and swelling,synovial swelling,and reduce fibrosis and inflammatory cell in-filtration in mice.The medium-dose and high-dose EPL groups reduced the HE staining score(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the high-dose EPL group reduced the serum RF in mice(P<0.01).CCK-8 results showed that low,medium and high doses of EPL had no effect on the activity of RAW264.7 macrophages(P>0.05).Compared with the model group,EPL treatment significantly reduced the contents of IL-6,TNF-α and NO in supernatant of the cells(P<0.01),reduced the nuclear translocation of NF-KB-p65 in the high-dose EPL group,reduced the M1 polarization and increased the proportion of M2 polarization in the medium and high-dose EPL groups(P<0.01).The mRNA levels of MyD88,IκB-α,NF-κB-p65,NF-KB-p50,IL-1 β and iNOS were significantly reduced in each dose group of EPL(P<0.01).EPL significantly increased the pro-tein expression of Bcl-2(P<0.01)and decreased the protein expression of Kv1.3,MyD88,p-IκB-α/IκB-α,p-p65/p65,IL-1 β and iNOS(P<0.05).Conclusion EPL may play an immunomodulatory role in relieving RA in mice by regulating Kv1.3/Bcl-2/NF-κB path-way,reducing macrophage M1 polarization and amelio-rating macrophage-associated inflammatory response.
