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 investigate the factors influencing the persistence of prostate specific antigen(PSA) following radical prostatectomy, and to develop and validate a predictive model for PSA persistence.Methods:Clinical data from 1 828 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy at Shanghai Changhai Hospital between January 2015 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Of these, 1 295 patients from January 2015 to April 2021 comprised the modeling group, while 533 patients from May 2021 to December 2023 formed the validation group. Additionally, 109 patients who underwent radical surgery at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University between March and December 2023 were included as an external validation group. Patients with incomplete clinical information, serum PSA levels exceeding 100 ng/ml, or those who received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy were excluded. Ultimately, 1 003, 369, and 86 patients were included in the modeling, validation, and external validation groups, respectively. The modeling group had serum PSA of 19.29 (8.43, 23.73) ng/ml; the clinical stages were distributed as T 1, T 2, T 3, and T 4 in 191, 673, 123, and 16 patients, respectively; the primary Gleason scores of biopsy were 3, 4, and 5 in 460, 466, and 77 patients, respectively; and the secondary Gleason scores were 3, 4, and 5 in 363, 486, and 154 patients, respectively. The validation group had serum PSA of 12.80 (6.82, 14.40) ng/ml; the clinical stages were distributed as T 1, T 2, T 3, and T 4 in 40, 289, 37, and 3 patients, respectively; the primary Gleason scores of biopsy were 3, 4, and 5 in 218, 145, and 6 patients, respectively; and the secondary Gleason scores were 3, 4, and 5 in 140, 184, and 45 patients, respectively. The external validation group had serum PSA of 12.84 (7.11, 12.97) ng/ml; the clinical stages were distributed as T 1, T 2 and T 3 in 9, 68, and 9 patients, respectively; the primary Gleason scores of biopsy were 3, 4, and 5 in 58, 27, and 1 patient, respectively; and the secondary Gleason scores were 3, 4, and 5 in 28, 50, and 8 patients, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for PSA persistence after radical prostatectomy in the modeling group and a prediction model was constructed. The predictive performance of the model was analyzed using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, the calibration curve, and the clinical decision curve. The predictive performance of the model was verified by the ROC curve in the validation group and the external validation group. Results:The incidence of persistent PSA after surgery in the modeling group, validation group, and external validation group was 8.97% (90/1 003), 7.32% (27/369), and 17.4% (15/86), respectively. In the modeling group, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that serum PSA, percentage of positive needle cores, primary Gleason score on biopsy, and secondary Gleason score on biopsy were independent risk factors for PSA persistence ( P<0.05), and a prediction model was constructed based on these factors. The AUC value of this model was 0.790 (95% CI 0.745-0.835). Calibration curve and clinical decision curve analyses showed that the model's predicted probabilities aligned well with actual risks within the 0-40% prediction interval, providing clinical benefit. The AUC values of the ROC curves in the validation group and external validation group were 0.808 (95% CI 0.719-0.897) and 0.822 (95% CI 0.714-0.929), respectively, indicating that the model had good predictive performance. Conclusions:The predictive model for PSA persistence, constructed based on serum PSA, percentage of positive needle cores, primary and secondary Gleason score on biopsy, demonstrated good clinical predictive performance, exhibiting high accuracy in both internal and cross-center validation.

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.

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.

This study was aimed at understanding the prevalence and drug resistance status of Salmonella of waterfowl ori-gin in the Guangdong region in the past decade,to guide prevention and control efforts.The drug-sensitive paper slide method was used to conduct drug susceptibility testing on 314 waterfowl-originating Salmonella strains isolated from 238 waterfowl farms in the Guangdong region from 2013 to 2023.The isolated Salmonella strains were most resistant to penicillin,amoxicil-lin,cefradine,and cefazolin in the β-lactam group;sulphadoxine dimethylpyrimidine in the sulphonamide group;and tetracy-cline in the tetracycline group.The resistance rates ranged from 73.57％to 89.49％.The highest sensitivity was observed to amikacin,gentamicin,and kanamycin in the aminoglycoside group,and norfloxacin in the quinolone group,with susceptibility rates all exceeding 50％.The 280 strains of Salmonella showed multi-drug resistance to six classes of antimicrobial drugs and high resistance(as much as 60.83％)to five drug classes.Correlation analysis revealed the highest correlations for florfenicol with gentamicin,and for amoxicillin with penicillin(r=0.650 for both),followed by gentamicin with kanamycin(r=0.620).Salmonella resistance in waterfowl in Guangdong Province was generally severe and showed a complex pattern of drug resist-ance.Detection of waterfowl pathogens should be strengthened to prevent the spread of drug-resistant bacteria and support ra-tional use of antibiotics.This work provides a reference for Salmonella prevention and control in waterfowl farms.

Objective The aim of this study is to analyze the expression level of cell-free DNA(cf-DNA),a biomarker of neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs),in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP),and to explore the predictive efficacy of cf-DNA(as a marker of NETs)for the severity of MPP in these children.Methods A total of 115 children with MPP were prospectively selected as the MPP group.Based on the disease severity,the MPP group was categorized into the mild group(n=75)and the severe group(n=40).During the same period,50 healthy children undergoing physical examinations were selected as the control group.The levels of serum cf-DNA in the MPP group and the control group,as well as the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),D-dimer,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),interleukin-6(IL-6),interferon-γ(IFN-γ),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the MPP group were detected.The differences in the levels of serum cf-DNA and related inflammatory factors among the groups were compared,and the role of serum cf-DNA in evaluating the severity of MPP was analyzed.Results The level of serum cf-DNA in children of the MPP group was notably higher than that in the control group,with a more significant elevation observed in the severe group(P<0.05).The levels of CRP,D-dimer,LDH,IL-6,IFN-γ,and TNF-α were all higher in the severe group than in the mild group(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the increased levels of serum cf-DNA,CRP,and IL-6 were closely related to the severity of MPP(P<0.05).The results of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the combination of serum cf-DNA,CRP,and IL-6 for predicting severe MPP was 0.981,which was higher than that of each index alone(P<0.05).Conclusions Serum cf-DNA(as a marker of NETs)is closely related to the severity of MPP in children.The combined detection of cf-DNA,CRP,and IL-6 is more beneficial for assessing the severity of MPP in children.

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.
