A 51-year-old male presented with nasal obstruction, followed by progressive hearing loss and blurred vision. Imaging identified space-occupying lesions in the paranasal sinuses, orbits, and paraspinal regions, while laboratory tests confirmed positive anti-proteinase 3 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(PR3- ANCA) immunoglobulin G (IgG)and markedly elevated serum IgG4. Despite treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and radiotherapy, the patient exhibited steroid dependency with relentless disease progression. Following multidisciplinary consultation, a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) coexisting with ANCA- associated vasculitis (AAV) was favored, though IgG4-related disease remained a critical differential. Ultimately, profound immunosuppression precipitated a severe herpesvirus infection, leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. This case underscores the rarity and diagnostic complexity of concurrent IMT and AAV, highlights the therapeutic dilemma of balancing primary disease control against fatal opportunistic infections, and emphasizes the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To explore how digital and intelligent technologies can optimize the storage allocation and picking paths for Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces.Methods Based on prescription information and medicine data from the hospital information system(HIS),this study employs MATLAB programming to use an integer linear programming(ILP)algorithm for optimizing the storage allocation of Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces.Additionally,a greedy algorithm is applied to optimize the picking paths to reduce the picking distance for pharmacists.Finally,an independent samples paired t-test is used to analyze the experimental data to verify the significance of the optimizations.Results A total of 7 734 prescriptions were collected from the HIS.The results of storage optimization showed that the total distance before optimization was(87.58±0.29)m,which was reduced to(85.35±0.28)m after optimization(P﹤0.000 1).The picking path optimization results showed that the picking path was(85.35±0.28)m before optimization and(40.06±0.11)m after optimization(P﹤0.000 1).The results of the independent samples paired t-test indicate that the path was significantly reduced after both storage and picking path optimizations,with statistical significance.Conclusion By using digital and intelligent methods,informatics pharmacists can effectively shorten the picking paths for Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces,improve dispensing efficiency,and reduce patient waiting times.

Objective To introduce the method and results of modeling validation of the treatment planning system used in the first Mevion proton therapy system in China.Methods The SOBP(Spread-Out Bragg Peak)beams in water were designed according to the TG-185 report.The treatment plans in water were designed according to the TG-350 report.The treatment plans of patients were designed on the CT images.The plane dose of each beam was measured by using the MatriXX ONE ioni-zation chambers at different depths in the water,and the measurment results were compared with the TPS calculated results to verify the accuracy of the output doses,the error requirements were 2%/2 mm.Results Except for the distal fall-off position,the doses deviation at the SOBP beams center were less than 3%,and the γ analysis pass rates of plane doses were more than 90%.The measured results of the treatment plan beams were within the tolerance of deviation,and the output doses of the beams without or with static adaptive aperture were more accurate in general.With the decrease of beam energy,the error of dose calculation will increase.Conclusion According to the accuracy requirements of the planning system calculation and treat-ment system implementation,the proton therapy system supporting the treatment planning system has been modeled.Some basic performance such as IDD and beam spot is consistent with the actual measurement,and the TPS modeling conforms to the actual performance of the machine executing when calculating the same proton radiotherapy plan.

Objective To evaluate the dose distribution of hippocampal sparing whole-brain proton therapy based on the treatment planning system of Mevion S250i proton therapy system.Methods Twenty patients undergoing hippocampal sparing whole-brain radiotherapy were selected.Under the same optimal conditions,plans using VMAT,fixed-angle IMPT without a-daptive aperture,IMPT with static adaptive aperture and IMPT with dynamic adaptive aperture were designed for each pa-tient.HI,CI,GI and the dose of hippocampus,lens,optic nerve,cochlea in different groups were compared.Results Compared with the VMAT plans,the IMPT plans without the adaptive aperture improved the target homogeneity index from(0.45±0.15)to(0.60±0.08),and the high-dose D2 in the targets decreased from(3368.22±65.94)cGy to(3270.67±104.78)cGy,and the irradiation doses of the hippocampus,lens and cochlea were significantly reduced(P<0.05).The target gradient of IM-PT plans could be improved using static adaptive aperture,and the dose of lens could be further reduced(P<0.05).The target gradient and conformal degree of the IMPT plans were significantly improved using dynamic adaptive aperture,and the dose of the optic nerves,lens and cochleae were further reduced(P<0.05).Conclusion IMPT has a dosimetric advantage over VMAT in hippocampal sparing whole-brain radiotherapy.The use of Mevion adaptive aperture can not only further optimize the dose to the target area,but also minimize the radiation doses to the normal tissue around the target area,which has a good clinical appli-cation prospect.
