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.

Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) due to variants of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-beta (HNF1β) (MODY5) has not been well studied in the Chinese population. This study aimed to estimate its prevalence and evaluate the application of a clinical screening method (Faguer score) in Chinese early-onset diabetes (EOD) patients. Methods: Among 679 EOD patients clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (age at diagnosis ≤40 years), the exons of HNF1β were sequenced. Functional impact of rare variants was evaluated using a dual-luciferase reporter system. Faguer scores ≥8 prompted multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for large deletions. Pathogenicity of HNF1β variants was assessed following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines. Results: Two rare HNF1β missense mutations (E105K and G454R) were identified by sequencing in five patients, showing functional impact in vitro. Another patient was found to have a whole-gene deletion by MLPA in 22 patients with the Faguer score above 8. Following ACMG guidelines, six patients carrying pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant were diagnosed with MODY5. The estimated prevalence of MODY5 in Chinese EOD patients was approximately 0.9% or higher. Conclusion MODY5 is not uncommon in China. The Faguer score is helpful in deciding whether to perform MLPA analysis on patients with negative sequencing results.

Objective To investigate the impact of high mobility group box 1(HMGB1)on hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)-induced DNA damage and senescence in lens epithelial cells(LECs)under oxidative stress conditions.Methods Fluorescent quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)technology was used to detect the mRNA expres-sion of HMGB1 in the anterior capsule tissue of patients with age-related cataract(ARC group)and epiretinal membrane(control group).Western blot analysis was employed to examine the changes in the protein expression of HMGB1 in the LEC line SRA01/04 after treatment with varying concentrations of H2O2(0,100,200,and 400 μmol·L-1).The optimal concentration was selected for subsequent establishment of a cellular oxidative damage model.The cultured SRA01/04 cells were divided into three groups:Control(untreated),HA(transfected with the control plasmid HA),and OE-HMGB1 groups(transfected with the HMGB1 plasmid).The mRNA and protein expression levels of HMGB1 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.The cultured SRA01/04 cells were divided into three groups:H2O2(treated with 400 μmol·L-1 H2O2),H2O2+HA(transfected with the control plasmid HA and simultaneously treated with 400 μmol·L-1 H2O2),and H2O2+OE-HMGB1 groups(transfected with the HMGB1 plasmid and simultaneously treated with 400 μmol·L-1 H2O2).Immunofluorescence was used to detect DNA oxidative damage in cells from each group.Western blot analysis was per-formed to assess the protein expression levels of phosphorylated histone H2A(γH2A),tumor protein p53(P53),cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A(P21),and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A(P16)in cells from each group.Additional-ly,senescence-associated-β-galactosidase(SA-β-gal)staining was conducted to detect senescent changes in cells from each group.Results RT-PCR results indicated that the relative mRNA expression level of HMGB1 in the anterior capsule tissue of the ARC group was significantly decreased,compared with that in the control group(P＜0.001).Furthermore,in the H2O2-induced oxidative damage model,the relative protein expression level of HMGB1 decreased with the increase of the concentration of H2O2.Both RT-PCR and Western blot analyses revealed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of HMGB1 were both significantly elevated in the OE-HMGB1 group,compared with those in the HA group(both P＜0.001).The immunofluorescence staining results demonstrated that the protein expression of γH2A and the fluorescence intensity in the H2O2+OE-HMGB1 group were significantly decreases,compared with those in H2O2 and H2O2+HA groups(all P＜0.001).SA-β-gal staining results showed that the H2O2+OE-HMGB1 group had significantly less cells stained by SA-β-gal than H2O2 and H2O2+HA(both P＜0.001).Additionally,Western blot analysis revealed that,compared with those in H2O2 and H2O2+HA groups,the relative expression levels of senescence-associated proteins P53,P21,and P16 were significantly decreased in the H2O2+OE-HMGB1 group(all P＜0.01).Conclusion HMGB1 inhibits the accumula-tion of damaging DNA and senescence in LECs by enhancing DNA damage repair capabilities.

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.
