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 In order to understand the current resistance status of Aedes albopictus(Ae. albopictus) adult population to commonly used insecticides and the resistance dynamics development in Zhejiang Province and provide a theoretical basis for the scientific and rational use of hygienic insecticides. Methods Resistance determination was carried out using the diagnostic dose method(GB/T 26347-2010)recommended by WHO in the adult mosquito contact cylinder method to monitor the resistance of Ae. albopictus field populations in 11 cities and districts in Zhejiang Province in 2024. Results The monitoring result showed that adult Ae. albopictus in 11 areas were resistant or suspected resistant populations to both cis-cypermethrin and permethrin; suspected and resistant populations to the organophosphate insecticide malathion were as high as 81.82%; while suspected resistance to the carbamate insecticide residual carbofuran accounted for 45.45%, and the rest of the monitoring sites were sensitive to it. Conclusions The result suggest that the generalized resistance of Ae. albopictus populations to pyrethroids and organophosphorus insecticides in the field in Zhejiang Province needs to be highly emphasized. In future mosquito vector and mosquito-borne disease control, insecticides should be selected based on the resistance monitoring information, while following scientific guidelines for insecticide use.

Objective:To explore the survival and prognostic factors of a long-course venetoclax-based(VEN-based)regimen in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia(AML)and provide evidence for the maintenance treatment of AML.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in patients who received a VEN-based regimen and completed at least four courses of efficacy evaluation at The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from May 2021 to January 2024.The composite complete response rate(cCR),minimal residual disease(MRD)-negative rate,overall survival(OS)time,relapse-free survival(RFS)time,and adverse events were analyzed.Results:Overall,30 newly diagnosed patients with AML were enrolled in this study.The median age was 65(range,53-78)years,and the median number of treat-ment cycles was 7(range,4-20)years.After one cycle,the CR-and MRD-negative rates were 80.0%and 63.3%,respectively.The cumulative cCR was 96.7%,and MRD negative rate was 80.0%,respectively.The median follow-up time was 21.3(95%confidence intervals 14.7-27.9)months.The median OS time was 32.3 months and RFS time was not reached.The 2-year OS and RFS rates were 70.6%and 54.8%,respect-ively.Univariate analysis suggested that ELN2017 risk stratification and relapse status affected RFS and OS(P<0.05).However,the multivari-ate analysis failed to reveal any relationship between these factors and survival(P>0.05).In terms of safety,hematological adverse events were the most common,followed by infections.Overall,the VEN-based regimen was tolerated for patients with AML.Conclusions:A long-course VEN-based regimen is effective and safe.More than half of patients survive for>2 years,and it can be used as an effective mainten-ance treatment option for patients with AML.

Objective To investigate the roles of glucose-regulated protein 75(GRP75)and voltage-dependent anion channel 1(VDAC1)in heroin-induced arrhythmia.Methods Based on transcriptomic data from primary myocardial cells treated with heroin and the GSE31821 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO),differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified using R software.Enrichment analysis of DEGs was performed.The protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was constructed using STRING database,and key genes were selected using Cytoscape.Molecular docking of key genes was performed using HDOCK,followed by in vivo valida-tion.A total of 60 SD rats were randomly divided into control,model,model+7 d,model+14 d,and model+21 d groups.A rat model of heroin addiction was established,and the expression levels of DEGs in myocardial tissue were assessed using immunohistochemical staining and quantitative real-time PCR.Results A total of 51 DEGs primarily enriched in muscle cell development,myofibrils,actin binding,arrhythmic right ventricular cardiomyopathy,calcium signaling,and apoptosis pathways were identified.Based on the PPI and Cytoscape analyses,GRP75 and VDAC1 were identified as key genes.Molecular docking indicated a strong interaction between GRP75 and VDAC1,which form a stable complex.The results of immunohistochemical staining and qRT-PCR showed that the expression levels of GRP75 and VDAC1 were significantly increased in the model group compared to those in the control group(P＜0.05),and their expres-sion increased(P＜0.05)with the intervention period of heroin in a time-dependent manner.Conclusion GRP75 and VDAC1 may con-tribute to heroin-induced arrhythmogenesis.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of proximal femoral reconstruction osteotomy (PFRO) in hip revision arthroplasty.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 92 patients (93 hips) who had undergone PFRO in hip revision arthroplasty at Department of Orthopedics, The First Affiliated Hospital, University of Science and Technology of China from January 2019 to December 2023. The cohort included 50 males (51 hips) and 42 females (42 hips), with an age of (64.5±11.7) years and a body mass index of (23.7±2.9) kg/m 2. Surgical procedures were performed under general anesthesia via a posterolateral approach. Biologic prostheses were used in femoral reconstruction, and PFRO fragments repositioned and fixed using cerclage wires. The data collected were operative time, intraoperative blood loss, length of osteotomy fragments, healing at the osteotomy site, intraoperative and follow-up complications, as well as Harris hip score (HHS) and leg length discrepancy (LLD) at the last follow-up. Results:For this cohort, operative time was (174.9±45.6) minutes, intraoperative blood loss (594.6±206.6) mL, and length of osteotomy fragments (12.3±2.3) mm. The 92 patients were followed up for (35.8±12.3) months. For them, HHS improved from preoperative (38.3±8.5) points to (80.5±12.8) points at the last follow-up, and LLD decreased from preoperative (21.2±13.0) mm to 2.0(0.0, 5.0) mm at the last follow-up, showing significant differences ( P<0.05). The osteotomy sites healed in 89 cases (90 hips), with a displacement of the greater trochanter <5 mm; 3 cases (3 hips) experienced nonunion with wire loosening and a displacement of the greater trochanter >10 mm. The osteotomy fragment of the greater trochanter got fractured in 2 patients (2 hips) and a fracture of the medial cortex of the proximal femur occurred in 11 patients (11 hips), but follow-ups observed healing of all the fractures. One patient (1 hip) developed postoperative posterior dislocation of the hip which was treated conservatively. One patient (1 hip) developed postoperative periprosthetic infection which did not recur after twice of debridement followed by prosthetic revision of the proximal femoral tumor. Conclusion:In hip revision arthroplasty, as PFRO demonstrates a low incidence of fragment fractures of the greater trochanter and a high rate of healing at the osteotomy site, its short-term clinical outcomes are satisfactory.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cord blood stem cell transplantation (CBSCT) in pediatric recipients with mucopolysaccharidosis type Ⅱ (MPS Ⅱ, Hunter syndrome).Methods:Clinical data of five male children with MPS Ⅱ who underwent CBSCT at the Department of Hematology, Children's Hospital of Soochow University between March 2018 and July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Post-transplantation clinical outcomes and enzymatic activity were observed. Literature was searched in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and PubMed databases using the keywords "mucopolysaccharidosis type Ⅱ" "MPS Ⅱ" "IDS gene" and "Hunter syndrome" in both English and Chinese. Articles describing clinical manifestations, genetic diagnosis, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in MPS II were screened.Results:All five patients were male, with a median age at diagnosis of 4.3(2.5-5.5) years and a median age at transplantation of 4.6(2.8-6.5) years. At diagnosis, all exhibited coarse facial features, hepatosplenomegaly, skeletal deformities or abnormalities, abnormal head MRI findings, and Mongolian spots; four had joint stiffness, three had valvular heart disease, and two had airway obstruction, short stature, and intellectual disability. Three recipients received single-unit cord blood, and two received double-unit cord blood. Myeloablative conditioning regimens consisted of busulfan, cyclophosphamide, anti-thymocyte globulin ± fludarabine. The median neutrophil engraftment and platelet engraftment times were 19(14-21) days and 26(15-44) days, respectively. Complete donor chimerism was achieved at 1 month post-transplantation. Complications included peri-engraftment syndrome in 5 cases, acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 2 cases (1 with grade Ⅳ skin and grade Ⅱ intestinal involvement; 1 with grade Ⅱ skin involvement), limited chronic GVHD in 1 case (moderate intestinal involvement), cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in 3 cases, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in 1 case, and capillary leak syndrome in 1 case; all were successfully managed. At the last follow-up in December 2023, all patients were alive, and enzyme activity had normalized by 3 months post-transplantation. Most clinical symptoms and signs improved; however, neurocognitive function showed no significant improvement, and some recipients exhibited progressive brain parenchymal changes on MRI. Literature review included 7 English and 5 Chinese studies, indicating that CBSCT and other HSCT modalities can improve multi-system clinical manifestations in MPS Ⅱ children, including restoration of enzyme activity, organ function improvement (such as liver and spleen shrinkage, adenoid reduction), enhanced motor function, and stabilization of neurocognitive function. Some studies suggest superior efficacy compared with enzyme replacement therapy, particularly in delaying disease progression and improving daily living abilities.Conclusion:CBSCT effectively restores enzymatic activity and improves multi-system manifestations in children with MPS Ⅱ, although its effect on neurological symptoms remains controversial. It is a safe and feasible therapeutic option for this condition.

One of the key elements in effectively combating drug crimes is identification and management of drug users.Developing efficient and rapid detection methods for drugs and their metabolites in biological samples such as blood,urine,and hair are crucial for the screening and identification of potential drug users.Since most of the parent drugs are metabolized after entering the body,challenges such as reduced residue levels,numerous metabolites,and complex biological sample matrices arise,posing higher requirements on the specificity and sensitivity of detection technologies.Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(SERS)offers advantages including fingerprint identification,high sensitivity,high accuracy,high selectivity,and non-destructiveness,enabling precise detection of trace amounts of drugs in complex biological samples.This paper reviewed the application progress of SERS technique in drug detection of biological samples,focusing on the selection and preparation of SERS enhancement substrates,detection methods,and the research advancements of SERS combined with other technologies.The detection capabilities and applicability of SERS in this field were summarized,and the challenges and development trends faced by SERS in detection of trace drugs in biological samples were discussed.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

AIM To investigate the effects of Liangxue Heying Formula-medicated serum(LXHY-MS)on human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS).METHODS CCK-8,DCFH-DA fluorescence probe and Western blot method were used to screen the LPS concentration in modeling and the serum LXHY concentration for treatment.The HUVECs divided into the normal group,the model group and the LXHY-MS group had their SOD activity detected by automatic biochemical analyzer;their MDA level detected by colorimetry;their protein expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1,IL-6,TNF-α,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 detected by Western blot;and their mROS expression and recruitment effect on THP-1 photographed with high connotation.With the use of JAK2/STAT3 pathway inhibitor(AG490),the HUVECs divided into the normal group,the AG490 group,the LPS group,the LPS+AG490 group,the LPS+LXHY-MS group,and LPS+LXHY-MS+AG490 group were subjected to the corresponding treatment,followed by the detection of their protein expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1,IL-6,TNF-α,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 by Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the normal group,the model group displayed decreased SOD activity(P＜0.01),increased MDA level(P＜0.05),increased ICAM-1,VCAM-1,IL-6,TNF-α,p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein expressions(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and increased mROS expression and THP-1 cells recruitment.Compared with the model group,the LXHY-MS group shared increased SOD activity(P＜0.05),decreased MDA level(P＜0.01),decreased ICAM-1,VCAM-1,IL-6,TNF-α,p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein expressions(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),reduced mROS expression and THP-1 cells recruitment.Given the use of AG490,the model group displayed increased protein expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1,IL-6,TNF-α,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 in contrast to the normal group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);each intervened group showed decreased expressions of related proteins in contrast to the model group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION LXHY-MS may protect the injury due to the activation of HUVECs by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the intervention effect of Xiao'er Zhixiao Pingchuan Granules(XEZXPCG)on ovalbumin(OVA)-induced airway remodeling in asthmatic mice and its potential mechanism by regulating macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF)and inhibiting the phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)signaling pathway.Methods A total of 96 SPF-grade male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into blank,model,XEZXPCG low/medium/high-dose groups(2.05,4.10,and 8.20 g/kg),adeno-associated virus(AAV)NC shRNA,AAV MIF shRNA(MIF gene silencing),and LY294002(PI3K/Akt inhibitor,1 mg/kg)groups(12 mice in each group).Asthma models were established through OVA sensitization and challenge.Airway resistance and the proportions of inflammatory cells(eosinophils and macrophages)in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were detected.Serum inflammatory factor(OVA-IgE,interleukin[IL]-1β,IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-alpha,and interferon-gamma)levels and BALF were quantified.Hematoxylin and eosin,Masson,and periodic acid-Schiff staining were used to evaluate airway wall thickness(Wat/Phm),smooth muscle area(Wam/Phm),collagen deposition,and goblet cell metaplasia.Western blotting,immunofluorescence,and real-time fluorescence-qPCR were used to detect MIF protein and mRNA expressions,as well as activation markers of the PI3K/Akt pathway and cell cycle-related proteins(including cyclin-dependant kinase 6[CDK6],Cyclin D1,Cyclin D3,and p21),in lung tissues.Results Compared to the model group,a XEZXPCG medium or high-dose significantly reduced airway resistance(P<0.05),improved the imbalance of eosinophil and macrophage proportions in BALF,and decreased inflammatory factor levels in serum and BALF(P<0.05).XEZXPCG medium or high-dose alleviated airway epithelial damage,goblet cell hyperplasia,and collagen fiber deposition,and reduced the Wat/Phm and Wam/Phm(P<0.05),with effects comparable to those of the AAV MIF shRNA and LY294002 groups.XEZXPCG medium and high-inhibited MIF protein/mRNA expression(P<0.05),downregulated Akt phosphorylation(P<0.05),upregulated p21 protein expression,and downregulated Cyclin D1,Cyclin D3,and CDK6 expressions(P<0.05).Conclusion XEZXPCG alleviates airway inflammation and improves airway remodeling in OVA-induced asthmatic mice by inhibiting MIF expression,downregulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,and regulating cell cycle progression.XEZXPCG enhances airway remodeling through MIF-mediated PI3K/Akt pathway regulation.
