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.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Huangkui capsules on targeted drug-related proteinuria in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of HCC patients with targeted drug-related proteinuria from June 2023 to December 2024 at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. According to the treatment plan, patients were divided into the conventional treatment group and the Huangkui combination treatment group (Huangkui capsules combined with conventional treatment), and the clinical efficacy between the two groups was compared. The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the main factors affecting treatment efficacy. Results The Huangkui combination treatment group (n＝29) showed a significantly higher overall effective rate (79.3% vs 42.3%, P＝0.005), and an earlier proteinuria improvement (median time: 3 months vs 6 months, P＝0.008) than the conventional treatment group (n＝26) . The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker (ARB) using (OR＝0.190, 95%CI 0.045-0.808, P＝0.025), targeted drug adjustment (OR＝0.132, 95%CI 0.030-0.581, P＝0.007), and Huangkui capsules using (OR＝0.168, 95%CI 0.039-0.730, P＝0.017) were protective factors for treatment efficacy of targeted drug-related proteinuria. Conclusions On the basis of conventional treatment, additive treatment with Huangkui capsules can alleviate targeted drug-related proteinuria faster and more effectively in HCC patients.

Objective To gain insights into the biological characteristics of different populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus within and around the Yellow Sea wetland from the perspective of the occurrence of resistance, we investigated the levels of resistance to deltamethrin and kdr gene mutation in the wetland and its peripheral areas. Methods Specimens were collected from Cx. tritaeniorhynchus populations at two monitoring sites in the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area, and also from two populations in Yancheng City and the Liuhe District of Nanjing, and the resistance of these mosquitoes to deltamethrin was determined using the CDC biotest bottle method. For each concentration of deltamethrin assessed, a random subset of exposed specimens was selected for amplification of the kdr gene fragment, followed by Sanger sequencing to identify and analyze resistance-associated mutations. Results The LC50 levels of deltamethrin among mosquitoes from the four populations in Luhe, Yancheng, the Rare Bird National Nature Reserve and the Tiaozi Ni Wetland Scenic Area were 2.048 5, 7.798 2, 3.473 3, and 17.695 5 mg/mL, respectively, with corresponding concentrations of deltamethrin ranging from 0.005 to 5.000,0.050 to 50.000,0.050 to 25.000 and 0.050 to 50.000 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the ranges of the KT50 values were 11.76-107.43, 67.05-216.30,29.77-107.43 and 28.40-329.51 min; the 1-h knockdown rates were 34.58%-99.15%, 9.52%-43.80%, 55.09%-73.01%, and 10.09%-68.07%; and the 24-h mortality rates were 12.15%-67.52%,9.52%-79.56%,13.17%-82.21%, and 11.01%-78.99%, respectively. With respect to kdr gene mutation, we assayed a total of 63,70,59, and 57 mosquitoes for the four populations, for which we detected L1014F mutation frequencies of 14.29%, 35.00%, 20.34%, and 31.58%, respectively, with a majority of these mutations being heterozygous for resistance. In addition, five adult mosquitoes were identified has having synonymous mutations at site 1011[i. e. , AAT(asparagine)mutation to AAC(asparagine)]. Conclusions Our findings revealed the clear resistance of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus to deltamethrin in the Yancheng region of the Yellow Sea wetland, and the resistance phenotype and kdr frequency of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment were comparable to those of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus in the wetland environment, thereby indicating that the resistance of different populations of Cx. tritaeniorhynchus was homogeneous under the pressure of different insecticide selection within and around the wetland. However, the underlying mechanisms need to be further studied.

Enhancer-promoter communication is fundamental to the spatial and temporal control of gene expression. Cohesin-mediated loop extrusion has long been considered a major structural mechanism that brings distal regulatory elements into proximity with their target promoters. Recent findings from Aboreden et al. refine this view by showing that depletion of Nipped-B-like protein (NIPBL), a key regulator of cohesin loading and loop extrusion, markedly disrupts architectural chromatin loops, whereas many cis-regulatory contacts and broad post-mitotic transcriptional reactivation are only modestly affected. These observations suggest that loop extrusion is important, but not sufficient, for explaining productive regulatory communication. In this Comment, we discuss how transcriptional condensate-like assemblies may provide an additional biochemical and kinetic layer that helps convert regulatory proximity into transcriptional output. By locally enriching transcription factors, coactivators, mediator and RNA polymerase II(Pol II) around active loci, such regulatory hubs may stabilize productive enhancer-promoter encounters and modulate transcriptional activity. We further propose that transcriptional bursting provides a useful framework for understanding this conversion, because gene expression can be decomposed into burst frequency, burst duration and burst size. Integrating chromatin architecture, condensate organization and bursting dynamics may therefore provide a more complete view of how enhancer-promoter communication is re-established after mitosis and how regulatory proximity is converted into transcriptional output through mechanisms beyond loop extrusion.

Background: Bushen Zhuanggu Formula (BZF), derived from the classic Yougui Pills, has shown favorable clinical efficacy in treating advanced nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (NONFH), particularly by promoting bone repair. However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Objective: This study aimed to explore the mechanisms by which BZF promotes bone repair in advanced NONFH. Materials and methods: A total of 518 potential BZF targets were identified from the ETCM v2.0 database. Transcriptomic profiling of clinical cohorts revealed 485 differentially expressed genes in advanced NONFH patients compared to healthy controls. A drug target-disease gene interaction network was constructed to identify candidate BZF targets involved in NONFH pathogenesis. In vivo experiments were conducted to validate the effects of BZF in a rat model of advanced NONFH. Results: Network analysis identified key pathways associated with blood circulation obstruction, immune-inflammatory imbalance, and abnormal bone metabolism. Protein kinase C alpha (PKCA), Ras proto-oncogene (RAS), mitogen-activated protein kinase 3(ERK), ETS proto-oncogene 1 (ETS1), and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) formed a signaling axis implicated in NONFH pathogenesis. BZF treatment alleviated joint inflammation, preserved trabecular bone morphology, reduced bone loss, and promoted bone repair. Mechanistically, BZF significantly downregulated the expression of PKCA, RAS, ERK, ETS1, and RANKL, improved blood circulation, and inhibited osteoclast activation while promoting osteoblast activation. Conclusion: BZF may promote bone repair in advanced NONFH by enhancing blood circulation and modulating the PKC-RAS-ERK-ETS1-RANKL signaling axis, thereby reversing dysregulated bone metabolism.

To summarize the nursing experience of a patient with T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia complicated with excessive dynamic airway collapse.Key nursing points include:efficient treatment of airway collapse to avoid causes of airway hyper responsiveness;avoiding the blockage of phlegm suppository,ensuring a safe and smooth airway;preventing the risks of hemorrhage and thrombosis,and strictly implement hospital infection prevention and control measures.After active rescue and careful nursing care,the patient was transferred back to the general thoracic surgery ward 13 days later,improved 17 days later,and was admitted to the cancer hospital for continued treatment.

This case report presents a 16-year-old male patient with deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2(DADA2). The patient had a history of Raynaud′s phenomenon with digital ulcers since childhood. As the disease progressed, the patient developed retinal vasculitis, intracranial hemorrhage, skin necrosis, severe malnutrition, refractory hypertension, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Genetic testing revealed compound heterozygous mutations in the ADA2 gene (paternal c.1072G > A pathogenic mutation + maternal c.1065C > A variant of unknown clinical significance). ADA2 enzyme activity was significantly reduced (0.1 U/L). A multidisciplinary treatment team developed an individualized plan to address key issues, including nutritional support, blood pressure control, rehabilitation, pain management, and balancing anticoagulation/bleeding risks. After systematic intervention, the patient′s condition showed partial improvement. This case reveals clinical challenges such as anticoagulation decisions and nutritional support of DADA2. It also emphasizes the importance of early molecular diagnosis, tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitor targeted therapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration in management, underlining the core value of precision medicine in rare disease management.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Objective:To analyze the association between moderate-to-vigorous-physical activity (MVPA) and obesity, poor sleep quality, as well as multimorbidity in 7- to 8-year-old children in Shanghai City.Methods:From September to November 2023, a cluster sampling method was used to select second-grade students from four primary schools in Jinshan District, Shanghai. Three-axis acceleration motion sensors (GT3X+, Acti-graph) were used to monitor daily physical activity for seven consecutive days. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between MVPA duration characteristics and obesity, poor sleep quality and multimorbidity in school-age children.Results:Of the 937 study participants, 512 (54.64%) were boys and 425 (45.36%) were girls. Among them, 89 (9.50%) were obese and 782 (83.46%) had poor sleep quality. A total of 77 cases (8.22%) were affected by obesity and poor sleep quality. The average daily MVPA time was (45.97±15.87) minutes, and the MVPA attainment rate was 17.18%. The multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that, after adjusting for covariates, the daily average MVPA time was negatively associated with the risk of obesity ( OR=0.982, 95% CI: 0.968-0.997), as well as multimorbidity ( OR=0.981, 95% CI: 0.965-0.997). The risk of obesity, poor sleep quality and multimorbidity in <1 d was 2.228 ( OR=2.228, 95% CI: 1.398-3.549), 1.702 ( OR=1.702, 95% CI: 1.141-2.540) and 2.150 ( OR=2.150, 95% CI: 1.310-3.528) times higher than that in ≥1 d. Conclusion:Obesity, poor sleep quality and multimorbidity of school-age children are closely related to the level of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

Objective To investigate the effects of preoperative oral electrolyte solution on intraoperative stress response and postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV)in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods From January to April 2025,200 cases of elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery due to benign diseases were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group by the envelope method,with 100 cases in each group.The observation group orally took 5 ml/kg electrolyte solution(with a maximum dose of 300 ml)at 2 h before surgery,while the control group was fasted and prohibited from drinking at 2 h before the operation according to the traditional protocol.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),end-tidal CO2 partial pressure(PETCO2),Cerebral State Index(CSI),and pneumoperitoneum pressure were recorded at 6 time points:entering the room(T1),entering the laparoscope(T2),30 min after the start of the operation(T3),60 min after the start of the operation(T4),the end of the operation(T5),and 30 min after the operation(T6).The blood samples were taken at T3 and T6 to detect catecholamines(adrenaline,norepinephrine,dopamine),cortisol,and blood glucose levels.The recovery time of bowel sounds,anal exhaust time,and incidence of PONV within 2,6,and 12 h after surgery were recorded.Results There were no statistically significant differences in MAP,HR,PETCO2,CSI,and pneumoperitoneum pressure between the two groups(P＞0.05).The average levels of norepinephrine at T3 and T6 and blood glucose at T3 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of PONV at 2,6,and 12 h after surgery,recovery time of bowel sounds,and anal exhaust time were all better in the observation group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Preoperative oral electrolyte solution can effectively alleviate the intraoperative stress response of gynecological laparoscopic surgery patients,reduce the incidence of PONV,promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function,and conform to the concept of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS).
