Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with clinical and subclinical Cushing's syndrome caused by primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia(PBMAH).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 198 patients with Cushing's syndrome caused by PBMAH diagnosed in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2004 to October 2024.According to clinical manifestations,the patients were classified into clinical type Cushing's syndrome(n=61)and subclinical type Cushing's syndrome(n=137),and the clinical characteristics of the two types were compared.Results The mean age at diagnosis of patients with PBMAH-induced Cushing's syndrome was(53.5±10.4)years,including 118 males and 80 females,with a male-to-female ratio of 1.475:1.Compared with the subclinical type,the clinical type had a higher proportion of females,higher levels of serum cortisol,24-hour urine free cortisol(24 h UFC),and inhibited serum cortisol after low-dose dexamethasone suppression.Additionally,the clinical type had lower plasma ACTH,larger adrenal nodules and a higher risk of surgery(P<0.05)compared with those in subclinical type.The incidences of hypertension,dyslipidemia,obesity,diabetes mellitus,hypokalemia,vitamin D deficiency,osteoporosis,coronary heart disease,and cerebrovascular disease in patients with Cushing's syndrome caused by PBMAH were 87.9%,50.5%,37.1%,36.9%,27.8%,25.9%,18.7%,18.7%and 12.1%,respectively.Among them,compared with subclinical type patients,clinical type patients had higher incidence of hypokalaemia,vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis(P<0.05),while there were no statistically significant differences in the incidences of other comorbidities between the two types(P>0.05).The results of postoperative follow-up for PBMAH patients showed that the short-term biochemical remission rate of unilateral total adrenalectomy was 41.5%(22/53)and the long-term biochemical remission rate was 32.0%(8/25).The short-term biochemical remission rate of unilateral partial(or nodular)adrenalectomy was 52.9%(9/17),and the long-term biochemical remission rate was 14.3%(1/7).All patients who underwent unilateral total adrenalectomy plus contralateral partial resection developed adrenal insufficiency(3/3),and 1 patient(1/3)relapsed 3.4 years after surgery.Conclusion Clinical and subclinical types of Cushing's syndrome caused by PBMAH have their distinct clinical characteristics.Surgery is an effective treatment for PBMAH,but a certain proportion of patients fail to achieve biochemical remission after non-bilateral total adrenalectomy.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease(PPNAD)and provide a reference for its clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical characteristics,laboratory tests,imaging examinations,treatment plans,and follow-up data of 10 PPNAD patients diagnosed and treated at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2008 to October 2024.Databases including CNKI,Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform,and PubMed were searched,and the clinical characteristics of 120 PPNAD patients reported in the literature were summarized in combination with literature reviews.Results The age at diagnosis of the 10 PPNAD patients ranged from 15 to 55 years,with a median age of onset of 21.5 years.Seven patients had the protein kinase A regulatory subunit 1 alpha(PRKAR1A)gene mutations,meeting the diagnosis criteria for Carney syndrome.One patient presented with hypertension only,while the remaining 9 patients showed typical Cushing's syndrome manifestations such as thin skin and moon face,among whom 5 experienced stagnation of height growth.In 7 patients,the adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH)levels were<2.2 pmol/L,with the disrupted circadian rhythm of cortisol,and the cortisol levels at midnight ranged from 243.24 to 679.83 pmol/L.None of the patients showed suppression in the low-dose dexamethasone suppression test,and 8 patients had an increase in urinary free cortisol(UFC)after dexamethasone suppression.Adrenal CT showed that 9 patients presented with unilateral adrenal nodules accompanied by contralateral thickening or bilateral adrenal nodular thickening.All 10 patients underwent initial unilateral adrenalectomy,and during follow-up,4 patients experienced symptom recurrence and underwent contralateral adrenalectomy.Most of the 120 patients reported domestically and internationally showed typical Cushing's syndrome manifestations.Surgical resection of the adrenal gland was the main treatment modality.Gene mutations were predominantly in PRKAR1A,with a few in PDE11A and PRKACA.Conclusions PPNAD is more likely to occur in adolescents.Patients with typical Cushing's syndrome manifestations should undergo screening.Imaging manifestations are atypical,and a definitive diagnosis depends on pathological and genetic diagnoses.Bilateral adrenalectomy combined with long-term postoperative hormone replacement therapy is the standard treatment protocol.Patients who undergo early unilateral adrenalectomy require long-term follow-up,with contralateral adrenalectomy performed when necessary.

Objective Understanding the population structure of mosquitoes in the drainage system of Minhang District,Shanghai,and exploring the physical prevention and control technology of mosquito traps with a Vazor mosquito repellent film in the drainage system.Methods A 500 mL water spoon was used to assist in visual inspection to investigate the breeding status of mosquito larvae in the drainage system.A carbon dioxide mosquito trap method was used to monitor adult mosquitoes around the ground drainage system,and the artificial hour method was used to monitor adult mosquitoes around the underground drainage system.Mosquito-repellent film was applied at a rate of 1 mL/m2 to the drainage system where mosquito larvae or pupae are found,and the breeding situation was observed and recorded.Results The positivity rate of mosquitoes breeding in the ground drainage system was 50%.The mosquito larvae in the drainage channels were primarily Aedes albopictus,whereas Ae.albopictus were primarily noted in the sewage wells.The proportions of Ae.albopictus and Culex pipiens pallens in the rainwater wells were similar,and the dominant mosquito species around the surface drainage system was Ae.Albopictus.The positive rate of mosquito breeding in the underground drainage system was 47%,with the dominant mosquito species being Cx.pipiens pallens(58.39%)followed by Ae.albopictus(41.6%).The dominant adult mosquito species around the drainage system were Cx.pipiens pallens(83%)followed by Ae.albopictus(11%).In terms of the effectiveness of mosquito-repellent water film,the mosquito breeding rates of the ground and underground drainage systems using mosquito-repellent water film decreased to 2.78%and 5%after 1 week of use,respectively,and then rebounded after the 3rd week.After a supplementary dose during the 5th week,the breeding rates returned to normal.No statistically significant differences were observed in the effect compared with the standard control group using 1%bisulfite granules;however,a statistically significant difference was noted compared with the blank control group without special treatment.Conclusions In the drainage system of Minhang District,Shanghai,mosquito breeding is severe,and variations exist in the dominant mosquito species in different environmental drainage facilities.The simultaneous use of mosquito-repellent films can effectively control mosquito breeding in drainage systems.

Objective:To investigate the role and possible mechanism of tripartite motif-containing protein 72 (Trim72) in acute viral myocarditis (AVMC) in mice.Methods:A mouse model of AVMC was established by intraperitoneal injection of Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3, 2.0 × 10 5 PFU/mouse). Forty mice were randomly divided into the negative control (NC) + phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) group (NC+PBS group), Trim72 overexpression + PBS group (Trim72 + PBS group), NC + CVB3 group, and Trim72 + CVB3 group ( n = 10). Fourteen days before modeling, mice in each group were injected with adeno-associated virus type 9 vector (AAV9) encoding either negative control or Trim72 overexpression (5.0 × 10 11 VG/mouse) via tail vein. Subsequently, PBS or CVB3 was injected intraperitoneally in the PBS and CVB3 groups, respectively. After seven days, the surviving mice were euthanized, and the heart and serum samples were collected. HE and TUNEL staining were used to observe the cardiac pathological changes and cardiomyocyte apoptosis, respectively. The mRNA expression levels of Trim72 and pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in myocardial tissues of each group were detected by RT-qPCR. The protein levels of cTnI, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in serum were detected by ELISA. The expression levels of Trim72, apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl-2, Cleaved caspase-3, Caspase-3), TLR4, p-p65, and p65 were detected by Western blot. Results:The protein and mRNA expression levels of Trim72 in myocardial tissues of mice in the NC+CVB3 group were significantly downregulated compared with those in the NC + PBS group ( P<0.05). Compared with the NC + CVB3 group, Trim72 overexpression significantly increased the protein and mRNA expression of Trim72 in myocardial tissues ( P<0.05), ameliorated myocardial inflammatory injury, decreased the apoptotic index of cardiomyocytes ( P<0.05), and reduced the levels of pro-inflammation cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in the myocardium and serum ( P<0.05). Additionally, Trim72 overexpression also downregulated the protein expression of Bax, Cleaved caspase-3/Caspase-3, TLR4, and p-p65, and upregulated the protein expression of Bcl-2 in myocardial tissues ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the indexes of mice between the NC + PBS and Trim72 + PBS groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Trim72 overexpression attenuates AVMC in mice by inhibiting myocardial inflammatory injury and apoptotic imbalance, and the mechanism may be related to the negative regulation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
