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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the regulatory effect of overexpressed protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 （Ptpn2） on the inflammatory response of mouse alveolar macrophages （MH-S） induced by SiO₂. MethodsCells with overexpressed Ptpn2 were constructed and induced by SiO₂. The experimental groups were divided into four groups： the negative control group with an empty vector （NC）， the overexpressed Ptpn2 group （P）， the negative control group with an empty vector + SiO₂ induction （NS）， and the overexpressed Ptpn2 + SiO₂ induction group （PS）. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification （iTRAQ） combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （LC-MS/MS） were used to screen differential proteins， followed by Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） database analyses. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expressions of Tumor necrosis factor （TNF） α， Gasdermin D （GSDMD）， and Transforming growth factor （TGF）-β1. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of PTPN2， Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）， and proteins related to the TGF-β1 signaling pathway in the cells of each group. ResultsiTRAQ results identified 144 differential proteins among the four groups. GO analysis showed that in biological processes （BP）， these differential proteins were mainly enriched in IκB kinase/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling， cell activation and signal transduction involved in immune responses， and regulation of receptor signaling pathways by signal transducer and activator of transcription （STAT）， etc. KEGG analysis revealed that the differential proteins were mainly enriched in Toll-like receptor signaling pathway， NF-κB signaling pathway， NOD-like receptor signaling pathway， TGF-β signaling pathway， and TNF signaling pathway. The results of immunofluorescence staining showed that compared with the NC group， the expressions of TNF α， GSDMD， and TGF-β1 in the cells of the NS group increased （P < 0.05）； compared to the NS group， the expression of the aforementioned proteins in the PS group decreased in cellular proteins（P < 0.05）. The results of Western blot showed that compared with the NC group， the protein expression levels of PTPN2， p-NF-κB，MyD88，TLR4，NLRP3，GSDMD，Caspase-1，IL-1β， TGF-βR1， TGF-βR，p-Smad2/3 in the NS group were significantly upregulated （P < 0.05）； compared with the NS group， the expression levels of the aforementioned proteins in the PS group were significantly downregulated （P < 0.05）. ConclusionOverexpression of Ptpn2 can inhibit the protein expressions of TLR4-TNF-α signaling， NLRP3 signaling， and TGF-β1 signaling closely related to inflammatory response in SiO₂-mediated MH-S macrophages.

Objective: To explore the application effectiveness of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) in optimizing intelligent blood logistics transport pathways for safety assurance. Methods: Data from 1 851 cases of intelligent blood logistics transport were collected between September 2023 and March 2025. Based on the implementation phases of HFMEA measures, the cases were divided into a control group (n=120), observation group 1 (n=219), and observation group 2 (n=1 512). Through systematic analysis of the transport processes, hazard scoring and decision tree analysis were conducted for each process, and phased optimization measures were implemented for high-risk failure modes. Results: The transport duration of intelligent blood logistics was 35.5 (20.8, 71.1) min in the control group, 25.1 (10.9, 40.7) min in observation group 1, and 9.9 (4.2, 44.5) min in observation group 2. Observation group 2 exhibited significantly shorter transport time compared to both observation group 1 and the control group, with statistically significant differences between groups (P<0.000 1). Conclusion: The implementation of HFMEA-driven measures significantly reduced intelligent blood logistics transport duration, thereby fostering the evolution of smart hospital ecosystems while enhancing healthcare service quality and operational efficiency.

Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic, idiopathic, and recurrent gastrointestinal disorder with an unclear etiology and uncertain pathogenesis. Traditional treatment strategies rely on frequent administration of high doses of medication to reduce inflammation, whereas these approaches have limitations and may induce potential complications. Therefore, finding more effective and safe therapeutic drugs and methods is particularly important. Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles(PDELNs) are nano-sized vesicles with a lipid bilayer structure that are secreted by plant cells. The bioactive molecules contained within, such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, can serve as information carriers, playing a role in the transmission of information and substances between cells and across species. PDELNs can carry and transfer their own bioactive substances or act as carriers for delivering other active components or drugs. Due to the high biocompatibility, low toxicity, and significant bioactivity, PDELNs have garnered widespread attention. Compared with other exosomes, PDELNs are not destroyed in the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally and can reach the intestines. This unique property makes PDELNs a promising oral nanodrug for treating intestinal diseases, showing great potential in this area. This article reviews recent research literature on PDELNs regarding the physicochemical characteristics, extraction and purification methods, functions, application characteristics and mechanisms in the treatment of intestinal diseases, and use as a carrier for treating intestinal diseases, aiming to provide a reference for the use of PDELNs in the treatment of intestinal diseases.

Breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was selected and treated with NET (NET group) or deoxyribonucleaseⅠ (DNase Ⅰ) digested NET (NET+DNase Ⅰ group),normal cultured MDA-MB-231 cells were used as the control group. In MDA-MB-231 cells of each group; cell proliferation ability was detected using CCK-8 assay; cell migration was detected by cell scratch assay and Transwell assay; real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expressions of frizzled homolog 10 (FZD10), cyclin D1, E-cadherin and Vimentin immunofluorescence assay was performed to detect the formation of NET and the expressions of E-cadherin and Vimentin; Western blotting was used to detected the expression of FZD10-Wnt-β-catenin signaling pathway-related proteins.Results:Neutrophils were stimulated with PMA for 4 hours, and immunofluorescence assay results showed that NET exhibited fibrous reticular structure with high expression of citrullinated histone (citH3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). The CCK-8 assay results showed that the absorbance values of cells in the control group, NET group and NET+DNase Ⅰ group were 1.25±0.06, 2.14±0.15 and 1.47±0.11, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 80.60, P < 0.001). The results of scratch assay displayed that the percentage of wound closure in the control group, NET group and NET+DNase Ⅰ group were (36.2±1.3)%, (67.2±2.0)% and (46.3±3.2)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 140.50, P < 0.001). Transwell assay indicated that the number of migrating cells in the control group, NET group and NET+DNase Ⅰ group were 317±18, 512±23 and 356±23, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 75.39, P < 0.001). qRT-PCR assay revealed that the relative expressions of FZD10, cyclin D1 and Vimentin mRNA in the NET group were higher than those in the control group, while the relative expression of E-cadherin mRNA was lower than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001); the relative expressions of FZD10, cyclin D1 and Vimentin mRNA in the NET+DNase Ⅰ group were lower than those in the NET group, while the relative expression of E-cadherin mRNA was higher than that in the NET group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001).

Western blotting results demonstrated that the relative expressions of FZD10, β-catenin and Vimentin proteins in the NET group were higher than those in the control group, while the relative expression of E-cadherin protein was lower than that in the control group; the relative expressions of FZD10, β-catenin and Vimentin proteins in the NET+DNase Ⅰ group were lower than those in the NET group, while the relative expression of E-cadherin protein was higher than that in the NET group. Conclusions:NET may promote the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells by upregulating the expression of FZD10 and subsequently activating the Wnt-β-catenin signal pathway.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of mood state of common rheumatic (rheumatoid arthritis; systemic lupus erythematosus; ankylosing spondylitis) patients and find out the common characteristics of patients with negative emotions, so as to identify and treat rheumatic patients with anxiety and depression in clinical practice.Methods:A total of 205 patients with rheumatism (83 with rheumatoid arthritis, 74 with systemic lupus erythematosus, 48 with ankylosing spondylitis) admitted to the Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from April to May 2023 were included. The general condition and POMS of patients were collected. All patients were divided into 3 groups of low-TMD/ middle-TMD/ high-TMD(TMD≤90 scores; 90 scores105 scores). The χ2 test was used for categorical variables, and the continuous variables were tested for normal distribution. If they followed a normal distribution, the independent sample t test (for homogeneous variance) or the Welch′s t test (for unequal variance) was used for comparison between the two groups, and one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups; if they did not follow a normal distribution, the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between groups. Patients with TMD>90 scores were defined as the negative emotion group. Gender, age, education level, economic income status, and TMD were included in the two-step cluster analysis (TCA) to obtain three cluster groups and analyze the differences between the groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors. Results:The study found that patients with rheumatic diseases with low serum albumin levels ( F=6.26, P=0.003), low education level ( χ2=8.36, P=0.015), low economic level ( χ2=15.59, P<0.001), short disease course ( H=28.01, P<0.001), and high disease activity ( χ2=56.93, P<0.001) had higher TMD scores, which was not related to the type of disease ( χ2=4.81, P=0.090). The negative mood group had a higher proportion of females (57.6% vs. 73.4%, χ2=5.16, P=0.023), a shorter course of disease [24(12, 48) months vs. 48(24, 93) months, Z=13.58, P<0.001], and a lower serum albumin [(42.2±4.0) g/L vs. (44.0±3.4)g/L, t=-14.09, P=0.002], low level of education ( χ2=9.04, P=0.029), low level of income ( χ2=10.29, P=0.036), high disease activity ( χ2=61.91, P<0.001). The results of cluster analysis indicated that the above factors were significantly different among the three cluster groups except the course of disease. It is noteworthy that age ( F=19.25, P<0.001) and serum albumin ( F=5.64, P=0.004) had the lowest value and the highest TMD score ( F=5.64, P<0.001). Regression analysis showed that gender, disease course and disease activity were related factors to the occurrence of negative emotions, and high disease activity was a risk factor [ OR(95% CI) =26.58(4.53, 156.09), P<0.001]. Men [ OR(95% CI)=0.20 (0.08, 0.50), P=0.001) and the course of [ OR(95% CI)=0.99 (0.98, 1.00), P=0.007) as the protective factors. Conclusion:Male, serum albumin level, education level, income level, disease course and disease activity were the main factors affecting the mood state of patients with rheumatism, in which high disease activity was the risk factor, male and long disease course were the protective factors.

Objective To construct a human resource allocation model for the Experimental Medicine Department through the measurment of working hour load,in order to achieve accurate and efficient allocation of human resources in the Experimental Medicine Department under the background of medical insurance payment reform.Methods The Department of Experimental Medicine,a 1 100-beds tertiary general hospital in Chengdu,was selected as the research object.The task list method and expert consultation method were used to analyze the work connotation,business process and specific operation of technicians in detail,and the business of laboratory medicine was divided into three dimensions:inspection operation,transactional task and management responsibility.The business operation time of all in-service technicians in the department was measured by stopwatch timing,work sampling,self-recording and back-up interviews,the average value method was used to describe the time consumption of each work step,and the working hours of the work items were counted according to the task list.Combined with the DORATASK model and the standard time concept,a manpower allocation model of the experimental medicine department was established.Results The total time spent of the inspection work was 1 320.82h,the total time of the whole process of the measured transactional work was multiplied by the operation frequency,and the total time spent of the monthly average transactional work was 523.38h,and the average monthly total time spent of the management work was 168 hours by multiplying the number of management positions by the standard working hours.Substituting the data into the model,the average monthly workload of technicians in the hospital was 2 012.2h,and the number of technicians in non-night shift,on-duty or compensatory leave positions was 14 to 15.The measurement results were basically consistent with the number of manpower allocated recommended by experts from multiple departments of the hospital.From 2021 to 2023,the model measurements were continuously tracked,which were consistent with the staffing of the department.Conclusion The human resource allocation model for work hour load adopts quantitative methods,combined with standard time and physiological slack rate,to provide a scientific and flexible path for human resource allocation decision-making.Based on this,the management can gain insight into work intensity and efficiency bottlenecks,implement targeted cost control and manpower optimization,ensure efficient resource utilization and cost control,and promote continuous optimization and upgrading of hospital operation management.

To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the mechanosensitive ion channel PI-EZO2 in osteoarthritis(OA),we developed a lentiviral vector for endogenous PIEZO2 overexpression and established a stable PIEZO2-high-expressing immortalized human primary chondrocyte line.By map-ping the open reading frame of the PIEZO2 locus and designing sequence-specific sgRNA,we employed the CRISPR/Cas9 synergistic activation mediator(SAM)system to precisely integrate transcriptional ac-tivation elements into the PIEZO2 promoter region.Lentiviral-mediated targeted genomic integration en-sured endogenous PIEZO2 overexpression,confirmed by mCherry fluorescence tracing coupled with flow cytometric sorting,which revealed membrane-specific localization of PIEZO2 protein(localization effi-ciency:78.49％).Quantitative PCR demonstrated a 17-fold upregulation of PIEZO2 mRNA,while Western blotting validated enhanced membrane-localized protein expression.Strikingly,PIEZO2-overex-pressing chondrocytes exhibited hallmark OA metabolic phenotypes compared to wild-type controls:typeⅡ collagen mRNA expression decreased to 50％of baseline levels,whereas matrix metalloproteinase 13(MMP13)mRNA surged by 20-fold.These alterations recapitulated the pathological matrix metabolic phenotype observed in biomechanical OA models induced by cyclic mechanical stress(10％strain,0.5 Hz,8 h/day for 2 consecutive days).Collectively,we successfully generated a human chondrocyte model with stable PIEZO2 overexpression,which faithfully mirrors mechanotransduction-driven OA progression.This engineered cellular system provides a robust platform for dissecting PIEZO2-mediated mechanosig-naling networks and advancing targeted therapeutic discovery.
