Subacute cholecystitis complicated by gallbladder perforation often manifests as inflammatory lesions around the gallbladder, and it is extremely rare for this condition to cause massive hemorrhage into the omental bursa with secondary infection and result in massive hemorrhagic abscess. This article reports a case of a female patient, aged 68 years, who experienced massive hemorrhagic abscess in the omental bursa due to localized perforation and bleeding caused by a stone impacted in the gallbladder neck. The patient had a history of gallstones for 30 years and was admitted to Tianjin Nankai Hospital, Tianjin Medical University, after tertiary referral due to aggravated abdominal pain, chills, and fever. After comprehensive assessment by a multidisciplinary team, the patient underwent emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy and clearance of the hemorrhagic abscess in the omental bursa. The patient recovered well and was discharged on day 10 after surgery, with good conditions during follow-up.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cholesterol absorption inhibitors (ezetimibe and hybutimibe) combined with statins for the treatment of dyslipidemia. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about above-mentioned drug combination in patients with dyslipidemia were retrieved from CNKI,PubMed and other Chinese and English databases. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to October 2025. After screening the literature,extracting the data,and evaluating the quality of the literature,network meta-analysis was performed using R software. RESULTS A total of 36 RCTs were included. Results showed that in reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC), ezetimibe+statins and hybutimibe+statins were significantly superior to statins+placebo and placebo alone ( P <0.05). The top two interventions according to surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) rankings were both ezetimibe+statins and hybutimibe+statins. In terms of triglyceride (TG) lowering, both hybutimibe+statins and ezetimibe+statins were significantly better than statins alone, statins+placebo and placebo alone ( P <0.05), with hybutimibe+statins and ezetimibe+statins ranking top two by SUCRA. For apolipoprotein B (ApoB) reduction, ezetimibe+statins was significantly superior to statins alone and placebo alone ( P <0.05), and the top two SUCRA rankings were ezetim ibe+statins and statins+placebo. In terms of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) increase, placebo was significantly better than statins alone, hybutimibe+statins, statins+placebo, and ezetimibe+statins ( P <0.05), and the top two SUCRA rankings were placebo alone and statins alone.There was no statistically significant difference in the overall incidence of adverse reactions among the interventions ( P >0.05). CONCLUSIONS Ezetimibe combined with statins shows significant advantages in reducing LDL-C, TC and ApoB, while the hybutimibe combined with statins may have potential advantages in lowering TG; both combination regimens have good safety.

Background and purpose:Epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)has a poor prognosis and is prone to developing resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy.Exosomes are currently believed to be involved in platinum resistance in ovarian cancer.This study explored the role and mechanism of exosomes on platinum resistance of ovarian cancer.Methods:Through ultracentrifugation,exosomes were isolated and analyzed using electron microscopy,particle size studies,and Western blot for detailed exosome analysis.We detected the expression levels of exosomal proteins and related signaling pathways.Exosomal protein expression profile was analyzed by proteomics.Key differential proteins were screened by intersecting with existing drug resistance datasets.Furthermore,patients diagnosed with EOC via pathological analysis at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from August 2023 to August 2024,who underwent surgery and fulfilled the eligibility requirements,were gathered to examine the link between the expression of interferon-stimulated gene 15(ISG15)in serum exosomes and resistance to platinum medication.The expression levels of related proteins in serum exosomes were quantitatively detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to explore the predictive value of serum exosomal protein in ovarian cancer resistance.Results:Exosomes derived from platinum-sensitive and drug-resistant ovarian cancer cells were extracted and proteomic analysis was further performed.We identified 9 differential proteins associated with platinum-resistance and found the key molecule interferon-stimulated gene 15(ISG15).Compared with sensitive cells,the expression of ISG15 in exosomes of drug-resistant ovarian cancer cells was significantly upregulated.Exosome tracer tests showed that exosomes were successfully taken up by ovarian cancer receptor cells.After coculture with drug-resistant exosomes,the expression level of ISG15 in ovarian cancer receptor cells was increased.Knockdown ISG15 in EOC cells decreased the expression of ISG15 in exosomes,and incubation of ISG15-knockdown exosomes decreased the cell viability on the condition of platinum drugs,indicating that ISG15 in exosomes regulated platinum resistance of ovarian cancer cells.Moreover,ISG15 could regulate the expression of multidrug resistance protein 1(MDR1)through phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)/nuclear factor-kappa-light-chain-enchancer of activated B cells(NF-κB)signaling pathway.This study included a total of 87 patients.Clinical serum samples also showed that the expression of ISG15 in exosomes was higher in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients than in sensitive ovarian cancer patients.Using serum exosomal ISG15 as an indicator to distinguish between sensitivity and resistance,the area under ROC curve was 0.779(P<0.05),cutoffvalue was 27.35ng/mL,sensitivity was 70.2%,and specificity was 76.4%.Conclusion:ISG15 in exosomes can regulate the expression of MDR1 in ovarian cancer cells through PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway,and promote platinum resistance in ovarian cancer cells.

Acute gallstone pancreatitis (AGP) represents an acute inflammatory condition of the pancreas, of which etiology and prevention require systematic understanding from the molecular mechanisms of onset, combined with the foundations of pathological anatomy and pathophysiological processes. Main pancreatic duct obstruction and bile acid reflux are the primary causes of AGP. The duration of the obstruction is particularly crucial to its progression, and early intervention in pancreatic duct obstruction is key to preventing severe cases. The management strategy for AGP in its early stages includes endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and endoscopic sphincterotomy. The core of diagnosis and treatment involves promptly identifying the cause, relieving bile and pancreatic duct obstruction, reducing pressure in the pancreatic duct, implementing common bile duct drainage, and evaluating the effect of pancreatic duct stenting. Since gallstones are the only controllable factor, early cholecystectomy is the safest choice for preventing AGP. However, the timing and methods of etiological prevention and treatment of AGP still require further research. This article synthesizes insights into anatomical factor management, gallstone prevention, interruption of the onset process, and coordination of prevention mechanisms, aiming to provide a reference for AGP prevention and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypes, diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis of atrophic kidney-like lesion (AKLL).Methods:Three cases of AKLL were collected from April 2021 to October 2023 at the Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital, Hangzhou and Ningbo Clinical Pathology Diagnosis Center, Ningbo, China. The clinical, morphological, and immunohistochemical characteristics were analyzed. Relevant literature was also reviewed. A targeted DNA-based next-generation sequencing (a panel of 150 genes) was performed on one of the three cases.Results:There were 1 female and 2 males, aged 30, 57, and 17 years (mean 34.6 years), respectively. The lesions were all incidentally identified during physical or imaging examination. Radiologically, they were all presented as a unilateral renal parenchymal mass. Grossly, the maximum diameters of the lesions were 1.8, 4.0, and 6.5 cm (mean 4.1 cm), respectively. The tumor cut-surfaces were sponge-like, multilocular cystic, and solid, respectively. At low magnification, the lesions were well-circumscribed, while a thick fibromuscular capsule was noted in cases 1 and 3. Cases 1 and 2 were composed of thin-walled cysts or follicular like structures of varying sizes, with the cyst wall lined by flattened and atrophic, or hobnail cells. The luminal spaces contained dense eosinophilic secretion and associated calcifications, while some cysts contained discohesive cells floating in the eosinophilic material. The tissue between the cysts showed predominantly small atrophic tubular structures. Case 3 was almost entirely composed of atrophic and collapsed tubular structures with focal cyst formation, imparting a solid sheets growth pattern under low magnification. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the cyst lining cells and the intracystic floating cells were WT1 positive, PAX8 negative and CK7 negative, while the atrophic renal tubules were WT negative, PAX8 positive and CK7 positive. Targeted next-generation sequencing in case 1 showed no significant genetic abnormalities. All 3 patients underwent partial nephrectomy. No evidence of recurrence or metastasis was found with a follow-up of 17 to 36 months.Conclusions:AKLL is a rare and novel benign renal disease. It is easily misdiagnosed as a renal neoplasm grossly and histologically. Careful morphological observation combined with characteristic immunophenotypes can aid in its diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of influenza A/B virus (IAV/IBV) infection in children aged 0-4 years in Jining city from 2022 to 2024.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 3 106 influenza affected children who visited two monitoring outpost hospitals in Jining city from January 2022 to January 2024. They were separated into two groups based on the type of virus infection: IAV group (n=1 829) and IBV group (n=1 277). Two groups were compared for general information, epidemiological characteristics, and laboratory test indicators.Result:The majority of influenza patients were boys (59.01%) and 1-4 years old (63.01%), with peak body temperature mainly ranging from 37.8 to 38.9 ℃ (59.30%). Coughing (69.00%) and runny nose (66.03%) were the main manifestations. The onset season was concentrated in winter (42.43%) and spring (40.44%), and the exposure target were family members (51.90%), and the proportion of influenza vaccine injections (20.90%) was relatively low. The proportions of visit time≤3 d, peak body temperature≥39.0 ℃, myocardial damage, liver function damage, white blood cell count (WBC) of 4-10×10 9/L, and neutrophil percentage (N)>70% in the IAV group were higher than those in the IBV group ( P<0.05). The proportions of preschool children and WBC>10×10 9/L in the IBV group were higher than those in the IAV group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Children aged 0-4 years who are infected with IAV in Jining City are more common in terms of high fever, early medical attention, impaired heart and liver function, normal WBC, and abnormal N elevation compared to those infected with IBV. However, children aged 0-4 who are infected with IBV have abnormally high WBC and are more common in daycare.
