Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic etiology of a patient with De-differentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS).Methods:A 38-year-old female patient with DDLPS who had visited Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital in January 2025 was selected as the study subject. A retrospective study method was adopted to collect the patient′s clinical data, including current and past medical history, auxiliary examinations, pathological diagnosis, and results of genetic testing. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital (Ethics No.: KY2025-150).Results:The patient had presented with abdominal pain and abdominal mass. Imaging studies revealed ascites and space-occupying abdominal lesions. Postoperative pathological examination showed that the tumor was composed of spindle cells, and its morphology and immunohistochemistry had made it difficult to distinguish between DDLPS and leiomyosarcoma. High-throughput sequencing revealed characteristic molecular alterations of DDLPS, and fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed MDM2 gene amplification, leading to a diagnosis of DDLPS. Conclusion:The patient was diagnosed with DDLPS. Her clinical manifestations and pathological features were consistent with the characteristics of DDLPS. Molecular pathological testing played a crucial role in the diagnosis and provided a crucial reference for subsequent treatment.

Abdominal obesity represents the predominant obesity phenotype in China.Compared to peripheral obesity,individuals with abdominal obesity are more prone to metabolic disorders,cardiovascular diseases,and higher mortality rates.Catgut embedding therapy at acupoints has demonstrated significant clinical efficacy in preventing and treating abdominal obesity.However,standardized clinical guidelines for its application in abdominal obesity management have not yet been established.This review comprehensively summarizes the clinical applications of catgut embedding therapy for simple abdominal obesity and abdominal obesity with various complications,aiming to provide clinical evidence and theoretical guidance for its use in preventing and treating abdominal obesity.

Objective    To investigate the clinical manifestations of patients with cardiac myxoma and the factors affecting the occurrence of embolic events. Methods     A retrospective study of 38 patients with cardiac myxoma diagnosed and surgically removed from January 2010 to December 2017 was performed. There were 11 males and 27 females at age of 32-75 (50.00±16.12) years. The patients were divided into a non-embolized group and an embolized group. The clinical manifestations of the patients were summarized and the factors leading to embolism were analyzed. Rseults    Of the 26 patients in the non-embolized group, 22 patients (84.62%) had dyspnea, 14 patients (53.85%) had palpitations, 4 patients (15.38%) had angina pectoris, and 1 patient (3.85%) had heart failure. Of the 12 patients in the embolized group, 4 patients (33.33%) had dyspnea, 3 patients (25%) had palpitations, and 1 patient (8.33%) had angina pectoris. The mean diameter of the non-embolized group was 5.71±1.63 cm, and the maximum diameter of the tumor in the embolized group was 4.52±1.88 cm. There was no significant difference between the maximum diameter of the tumor in the embolized group and the maximum diameter of the non-embolized group (P>0.05). Atrial fibrillation occurred in 2 patients in the non-embolized group before operation. Atrial fibrillation occurred in 5 patients in the embolized group. Atrial fibrillation was more likely to occur in the embolized group (P<0.05). Conclusion     Atrial fibrillation in the patients with cardiac myxoma is closely related to embolic events. The size of myxoma is not related to the occurrence of embolic events.

Objective The inhibitory effect of the PARP inhibitor olaparib on human acute myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells was studied. Methods The HL-60 cells in logarithmic growth phase were treated with different concentrations(1. 25,2. 5,5 and 10 μmol/L) of olaparib for different time. The CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of olaparib on HL-60 cells. The apoptotic level of HL-60 cells was detected by Annexin-V/PI double staining method,and the expression of related signal proteins ( PARP-1 and caspase-3)in HL-60 cells was detected by Western blot. Results HL-60 cells were inhibited by olaparib at dif-ferent concentrations(1. 25,2. 5,5 and 10 μmol/L) for 48 h,and the inhibition rate gradually increased with the prolongation of the action time;at the same time,the apoptotic rate was increased in HL-60 cells after olaparib treatment for 48 h,showing a dose-de-pendent manner;the PARP activity was inhibited and caspase-3 was activated in HL-60 cells treated with olaparib. Conclusion The PARP inhibitor olaparib not only inhibits proliferation of HL-60 cells,but it also promotes apoptosis of HL-60 cells by inhibi-ting PARP activity and activating caspase-3.
