This article reviews the diagnosis, therapeutic approaches, and subsequent care for a patient with a complex, long-standing history of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS). A 40-year-old male, who had been on peritoneal dialysis (PD) for 11 years, encountered refractory peritonitis, leading to the removal of PD catheter and the subsequent diagnosis of EPS. The patient was transitioned to hemodialysis (HD) and prescribed tamoxifen to mitigate peritoneal fibrosis. After 4 months on HD, the patient underwent a kidney transplant, but acute rejection episode caused the transplanted kidney to fail 3 months postoperatively, necessitating a return to HD. Over the past 7 years, the patient has been repeatedly hospitalized due to recurrent bowel obstructions and infected abdominal fluid accumulation. A multidisciplinary approach, including anti-infective therapy, gastrointestinal intervention, nutritional support, and psychological care, has been instrumental in managing symptoms, and sustaining life. This case underscores the importance of recognizing EPS in long-term PD patients with peritonitis. While discontinuing PD, switching to HD, or receiving kidney transplantation do not halt the progression of EPS, optimized comprehensive management can extend the patient's survival.

Guillain-Barre syndrome rarely develops after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and only a few reports exist in China. Guillain-Barre syndrome is an acute and life-threatening condition that requires early diagnosis and treatment. A patient with acute myeloid leukemia underwent allogeneic HSCT for >5 months and gradually developed limb muscle weakness and limited eye movement after coexisting with delayed acute intestinal graft-versus-host disease. After the examination of cerebrospinal fluid and electromyography, the diagnosis of Guillain–Barre syndrome was confirmed. After a high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment, muscle strength gradually recovered, and the prognosis was good.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)positivity in the urban areas of Chongqing and its relationship with age,season,and gender.Methods A total of 4,836 patients who underwent 14C-UBT testing at our hospital from April 2023 to March 2024 were selected.The detection rate of H.pylori and the infection status of H.pylori in different age groups,genders,and seasons were analyzed.Logistic regression analysis was performed on factors related to H.pylori infection identified in the univariate analysis.Results The positive detection rate of H.pylori in the 4,836 subjects was 29.3%,with a higher rate in males than in females,showing a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The highest positive detection rate of H.pylori was in the summer season,and the peak positivity rate for H.pylori was observed in the 30-39 age group.There was a statistically significant difference in the positive detection rate of H.pylori across seasons and among different age groups(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that gender,age,and season were all influential factors in the outcome of H.pylori infection(P<0.05).Conclusion The prevalence of H.pylori infection in the urban areas of Chongqing is relatively low,and gender,age,and season are all influential factors for H.pylori infection.

Objective:To explore the pathogenesis of primary hemophagocytic syndrome with UNC13D and MYO5A gene mutations.Methods:A case of adult hemophagocytic syndrome with gene mutation of UNC13D and MYO5A admitted to The 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistic Support Force of the PLA on January 28, 2022 was retrospectively analyzed in terms of laboratory examination, gene atlas of its close relatives and prognosis, and related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was finally diagnosed with primary hemophagocytic syndrome, and chemotherapy was performed twice with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis(HLH)-2004 regimen. The HLA matching of his cytoplasm was semi-compatible. Considering that his cytoplasm carried blood-macrophage related genes, it was not suitable to be selected as a donor, and there were no other suitable relatives. He was transferred to another hospital for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but failed to receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation during telephone follow-up, and died.Conclusion:The gene mutation of primary hemophagocytic syndrome is the gold standard for the diagnosis of primary HLH. There may be dual gene inheritance pattern in primary HLH, and the combination of immune disorder caused by viral infection and genetic factors may lead to the pathogenesis of primary HLH.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL) is a heterogeneous mature B lymphocytic tumor.The apoptosis of mature lymphocyte is inhibited and clonal proliferation of mature lymphocyte aggregates in blood, bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes, resulting in a class of inert hematological tumors.At present, the clinical pathogenesis is not completely clear, environmental and occupational factors do not occupy a major position.Studies have shown that long-term exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields may be associated with its incidence, but patients with primary and secondary relatives of lymphatic malignancies increased incidence.Many families still have patients whose age is earlier and the disease is more serious.In recent years, with the continuous improvement of medical level, a variety of treatment methods for chronic lymphoblastic leukemia have emerged, including a variety of new drugs.Ibutinib is the world's first marketed Bruton's tyrosine kinase(BTK) inhibitor, for more patients with chronic lymphoblastic leukemia has brought the gospel.This article reviews the clinical research progress of ibrutinib in treating CLL.

Eltrombopag is a kind of human thrombopoietin receptor agonist, which is used to treat thrombocytopenia and severe aplastic anemia. In recent years, it highlights the huge advantage in iron removal. It regulates the acidification of glucuronidation in the body, removing it from feces and urine before iron conjugates to the liver, so as to effectively reduce the overload of iron in the body.

Rituximab is a human/mouse chimeric monoclonal antibody against CD20 antigen of B cells.It is one of the earliest monoclonal antibodies successfully used in the treatment of malignant tumors.In recent years,a number of studies have shown that rituximab can induce apoptosis of CD20-expressing B lymphocytes through antibody-dependent cytotoxicity,complement-dependent cytotoxicity and direct apoptosis induction.Combined with chemotherapy,rituximab can significantly enhance the therapeutic effect on aggressive lymphoma.In addition,rituximab is also play an increasingly important role in the treatment of primary immune thrombocytopenia,autoimmune hemolytic anemia and other autoimmune diseases,neuromyelitis optica,and lymphocytic proliferative diseases after stem cell transplantation.
