Pyoderma gangrenosum(PG)is a rare autoinflammatory disease,characterized mainly by painful and necrotic skin ulcers.The etiology of PG is unknown,and its treatment is quite challenging.This article reports a case of recurrent pyoderma gangrenosum successfully treated with adalimumab combined with tofacitinib,along with a review of relevant literature.The patient,a 54-year-old male,presented with scrotal ulcers accompanied by pain for 20 days,worsening and involving the groin area for 5 days,and fever for 1 day.Dermatological examination revealed two painful ulcers on the scrotum with raised edges,clear boundaries,and a small amount of purulent discharge on the surface;the right groin area and the medial left thigh showed irregular infiltrative erythematous plaques,with scattered clustered pustules on them,central necrosis appearing purplish-brown,surrounded by a red halo with clear boundaries.Based on the patient's past medical history,clinical manifestations,and auxiliary examinations,the diagnosis was consistent with pyoderma gangrenosum.After treatment with adalimumab combined with tofacitinib,the patient's symptoms were significantly improved,and the ulcers healed.At the 6-month follow-up,the skin lesions had not recurred.For refractory PG that is ineffective to conventional treatments,adalimumab combined with tofacitinib is an effective and safe treatment option,providing a new combination therapy regimen for PG.

Objective To investigate the current situations of economic toxicity in hematological malignancies patients,and explore it's correlation with quality of life and psychological resilience.Methods A total of 135 hematological malignancies patients admitted in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital,Sun Yat-sen University from December 2022 to October 2023 were selected as subjects.Patients were surveyed by using general information and disease-related information questionnaires,comprehensive scores for financial toxicity,European organization for research and treatment of cancer core questionnaire,connor-davidson resilience scale,social support rating sale.Correlation analysis was performed by using the Pearson method.Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors of economic toxicity after controlling for confounding factors.Results Economic toxicity score of 135 hematological malignancies patients was(15.95±0.84)points,of which 82.2％of them had economic toxicity.It was positively correlated with functional quality of life(r-0.464,P=＜0.001)and psychological resilience(r=0.232,P=0.007),and negatively correlated with symptomatic psychological quality(r=-0.440,P＜0.001).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that quality of life,knowledge of the treatment cost,course of treatment,patient personality and have no second caregiver were influencing factors of economic toxicity of hematological malignancies(P＜0.05).Conclusion Hematological malignancies patients have a higher level of economic toxicity,which can affect their quality of life and psychological resilience.

Objective:To explore the role and mechanism of serum response factor (SRF) and lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).Methods:The plasma and tissue wax of LUAD patients treated in Tangshan People's Hospital from 2020 to 2022 and the plasma of healthy people were collected. The expression of SRF in LUAD tissues and cells, and the expression of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in LUAD tissues, plasma and cells were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The expression levels of SRF and lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in LUAD tissue microarray were detected by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. LUAD cells A549, H1299 and H1975 were cultured in vitro and divided into si-NC and si-SRF groups, si-NC and si-lncRNA FGD5-AS1 groups, pcDNA3.1 and lncRNA FGD5-AS1 groups, si-NC+pcDNA3.1/si-SRF+pcDNA3.1/si-SRF+lncRNA FGD5-AS1 groups. The effects of the above groups on the proliferation, invasion and migration of LUAD cells were detected by CCK-8, cloning formation, EdU, Transwell and scratch test. The JASPAR database was used to predict the downstream lncRNA FGD5-AS1 that can be regulated by SRF; double luciferase experiment, chromatin Immunoprecipitation (CHIP) and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) experiment were used to verify the regulatory effect between SRF and lncRNA FGD5-AS1, and the subcutaneous tumorigenesis experiment in nude mice was used to detect the effects of cells that stably knock down SRF and stably overexpress lncRNA FGD5-AS1 on the growth of transplanted tumors. Results:The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the mean optical density of SRF in LUAD tissues (1.49±0.33) was higher than that in adjacent tissues (1.00±0.00, P＜0.001). The expression level of SRF in paraffin tissues of LUAD patients was higher than that in normal tissues adjacent to cancer ( P=0.037). CCK-8, cloning, scratch and Transwell experiments showed that knockdown SRF could inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 and H1299 cells, respectively. [For A549 cells: The clone formation count, migration count, invasion count, and 48-h migration distance ratio were (233.70±18.50), (808.70±6.11), (489.70±53.00), and 1.00±0.03, respectively, in the si-NC group; and (131.30±22.50), (403.00±9.54), (372.70±26.27), and 2.14±0.09, respectively, in the si-SRF group. For H1299 cells: The clone formation count, migration count, invasion count, and 48-h migration distance ratio were (194.30±20.98), (988.70±64.52), (907.70±67.02), and 1.00±0.05, respectively, in the si-NC group; and (137.70±7.77), (665.70±157.10), (565.70±67.01), and 1.52±0.03, respectively, in the si-SRF group. All comparisons showed statistically significant differences ( P＜0.05)] JASPAR database prediction shows that SRF and lncRNA FGD5-AS1 have binding site. The double luciferase experiment, CHIP and EMSA experiments showed that SRF could regulate lncRNA FGD5-AS1. In situ hybridization showed that the mean optical density of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in tissue microarray of LUAD patients (1.28±0.31) was higher than that in adjacent tissues (1.00±0.00, P＜0.001). The results of qRT-PCR experiment showed that the expression level of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in wax tissues of LUAD patients was higher than that in normal tissues adjacent to cancer ( P=0.017). The expression level of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 in plasma of LUAD patients (3.48±2.62) was higher than that of healthy people (1.02±0.03, P＜0.001). CCK-8, cloning, EDU, scratch and Transwell experiments showed that overexpression of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 could promote cell proliferation [For A549 cells: The clone formation count, EdU-positive cell count, invasion count, and 48-h migration distance ratio were (22.67±5.86), (1.00±0.09), (135.70±13.20), and 0.35±0.02, respectively, in the pcDNA3.1 group; and (46.33±9.07), (1.65±0.10), (205.00±13.23), and 0.20±0.01, respectively, in the FGD5-AS1-overexpressing group. All comparisons showed statistically significant differences ( P＜0.05)], migration and invasion and vice versa [For H1975 cells: The clone formation count, EdU-positive cell count, invasion count, and 48-h migration distance ratio were (75.33±4.16), (1.00±0.02), (258.70±45.79), and 0.18±0.01, respectively, in the NC group; and (37.00±4.00), (0.52±0.07), (130.70±9.07), and 0.53±0.04, respectively, in the lncRNA FGD5-AS1 knockdown group (si-lncRNA FGD5-AS1 group). All comparisons showed statistically significant differences ( P＜0.05)]. Overexpression of lncRNA FGD5-AS1 could rescue the effect of knockdown SRF on the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 and H1299 cells. The results of subcutaneous tumorigenesis experiment in nude mice indicated that the tumorigenicity of LUAD cells stably knockdown SRF was weakened and vice versa. Conclusion:SRF can promote the progress of LUAD by regulating lncRNA FGD5-AS1.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disease characterized by structural or functional abnormalities of motile cilia. It often presents clinically with recurrent respiratory infections, situs inversus, hydrocephalus, and infertility. Currently, there is no clinical treatment to directly restore ciliary motility in PCD patients.In recent years, researchers have explored gene therapy methods such as gene replacement, gene editing, and RNA replacement in vitro and in mouse models, offering potential new strategies for PCD treatment. This paper comprehensively reviews the current status of PCD gene therapy research, evaluates the potential of different gene therapies, and provides an outlook on the future treatment directions for this disease.

This review aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the etiology, epidemiology, pathology, and conventional treatment of heterotopic ossification (HO), especially emerging potential therapies. HO is the process of ectopic bone formation at non-skeletal sites. HO can be subdivided into two major forms, acquired and hereditary, with acquired HO predominating. Hereditary HO is a rare and life-threatening genetic disorder, but both acquired and hereditary form can cause severe complications, such as peripheral nerve entrapment, pressure ulcers, and disability if joint ankylosis develops, which heavily contributes to a reduced quality of life. Modalities have been proposed to treat HO, but none have emerged as the gold standard. Surgical excision remains the only effective modality; however, the optimal timing is controversial and may cause HO recurrence. Recently, potential therapeutic strategies have emerged that focus on the signaling pathways involved in HO, and small molecule inhibitors have been shown to be promising. Moreover, additional specific targets, such as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and non-coding RNAs, could be used to effectively block HO or develop combinatorial therapies for HO.

The presence of magnetic fields in a magnetic resonance accelerator (MR-linac) can affect the reference dosimetry, and thus the existing Code of Practices (CoPs) are inadequate for MR-linac. In this article, the characteristics of adsorbed dose to water and ionization chamber response in the presence of magnetic fields were introduced and a formalism for reference dosimetry in MR-linac was developed based on the existing CoPs, aiming to provide reference for dosimetric quality control and research work of MR-linac in China.

Objective:To systematically synthesize the real experiences of women who have undergone emergency cesarean sections, providing evidence-based insights to inform the development of personalized care strategies.Methods:A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, ProQuest, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc for qualitative and mixed-methods studies related to the psychological experiences of women who underwent emergency cesarean sections. The search covered all publications up to January 31, 2025. The methodological quality of included studies was appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Center for Evidence-Based Health Care Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research. The results were integrated using an aggregative synthesis approach.Results:A total of 16 studies were included, from which 78 findings were extracted and grouped into nine new categories. These were further synthesized into three overarching themes: shift in birth plan and emergence of dynamic emotional responses; desire for diversified external support and encouragement; emotional investment and character growth.Conclusions:Women undergoing emergency cesarean sections commonly experience intense negative emotions. It is essential for healthcare providers and family members to pay close attention to the physical and psychological well-being of postpartum women, offer timely emotional support, and help them recover from psychological trauma, thereby promoting maternal mental and physical health.
