Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease （ADPKD） is a systemic hereditary renal disorder and can affect multiple organs， and congenital hepatic fibrosis is one of the manifestations of liver involvement and is an important complication of ADPKD. Symptomatic management is currently the main treatment method for this disease， and disease-specific drugs such as tolvaptan have limited indications and cannot correct the underlying genetic defect. This article reports a case of ADPKD with congenital hepatic fibrosis， and sirolimus was identified as the individualized treatment regimen based on peripheral blood functional genomic analysis and drug sensitivity prediction platform. The patient achieved significant improvements in symptoms and quality of life after treatment， with a stable kidney volume. This case shows that functional genomics has a potential value in guiding individualized treatment of rare genetic disorders， which provides new treatment ideas and practice paths for similar patients.

The elevated polyamines, amine-rich molecules with diverse functions in pathophysiology processes, are implicated in contributing to tumorigenesis and progression. Whether and how they affect the efficacy of chemotherapy is incompletely understood. Our screening assays reveal that the supplement with a low dose of spermidine (Spd), one of the polyamines, enhances ferroptosis in prostate cancer cells as evidenced by increased lipid peroxidation and intracellular Fe²⁺ levels in vitro. Combination treatment with Spd and a low dose of ferroptosis inducer erastin synergistically augments anti-tumor efficacy with undetectable toxicity in mice. Analysis of RNA-seq data indicates that heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1), an enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of heme to release Fe²⁺, is significantly upregulated in response to Spd and erastin cotreatment. Spd mediated the hypusine modification of the eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (EIF5A) promotes the translation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), subsequently leading to elevation of HMOX1. Moreover, Spd and erastin significantly inhibit proteasome activity which results in a decrease in proteasomal degradation of NRF2, although many proteasome-related genes are induced either by Spd or Spd plus erastin. Thus, in addition to its pro-oncogenic activity, the supplement of Spd improves antitumor activity in combination with ferroptosis inducers and offers an optional approach to cancer treatment.

Objective To explore influencing factors of subsequent fracture among elderly osteoporotic patients and provide a basis for improving the management and early intervention after osteoporotic fracture.Methods A total of 14 349 elderly patients with osteoporotic fracture in 594 hospitals across 31 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities)were selected by convenience sampling method from September to December 2023.A general information questionnaire and a clinical characteristics of fracture questionnaire were used.The univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to clarify the influencing factors and gender differences.Results A total of 11364 valid questionnaires were collected,with a valid questionnaire recovery rate of 79.20％.Gender,age,occupation,education,marital status,family history of osteoporosis,comorbid osteoarthropathies/rheumatism/ophthalmopathies,bone mineral density,risk of fall,risk of fracture grade,reasons and site for first fracture,whether to use walking aid and receive home rehabilitation guidance were associated with the occurrence of subsequent fracture.Gender comparisons found that widowhood,family history of osteoporosis,comorbid rheumatism,vertebral fracture,alcohol consumption,fall or no causative factor triggering the fracture,and educational level,home rehabilitation instruction were associated with the risk of subsequent fracture only in women(P＜0.05).Smoking was associated with the risk of subsequent fracture only in men(P＜0.05).Conclusion Osteoporotic subsequent fracture in the elderly is affected by multidimensional factors,with significant gender differences.The surveillance of key populations should be strengthened in prevention,control and intervention.

Endocrine therapy is mainly used as preoperative neoadjuvant therapy and postoperative adjuvant therapy for breast cancer patients and as salvage therapy for advanced breast cancer patients.Osteoporosis is the common adverse reaction of endocrine therapy for breast cancer,which seriously affects the quality of life of the patients.The theory of"liver and kidney sharing the common source"is closely related to the etiology,pathogenesis and therapeutic principle of osteoporosis.It is believed that the pathogenesis of endocrine therapy associated osteoporosis in breast cancer is most closely related to liver and kidney,and is characterized by deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality.Deficiency in origin manifests as deficiency of liver and kidney,and excess in superficiality manifests as blood stasis blocking collaterals.Chinese herbal medicine with the actions of nourishing liver and kidney can be used for interventions of various stages of endocrine therapy for breast cancer.In the stage of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy,Chinese herbal medicine intervention focuses on inhibiting cancer,so as to achieve synergistic anticancer actions with neoadjuvant therapy;the intervention can also be supplemented by medicine for supporting healthy qi with modified Liuwei Dihuang Pills,thus to reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.In the stage of postoperative adjuvant therapy,Chinese herbal medicine intervention focuses on supporting healthy qi,so as to promote the recovery of body functions and prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis,and modified treatment with Duhuo Jisheng Decoction or Zuogui Pills can be chosen.In the advanced stage of salvage treatment,Chinese herbal medicine intervention focuses on supporting healthy qi,and medicines for nourishing liver and kidney,strengthening muscles and bones,and activating qi and blood circulation to relieve pain can be chosen;in addition,medicinals with affinity to flesh and blood can be added to enhance the actions of nourishing liver and kidney.

Objective To investigate the current status and analyze the factors affecting the osteoporosis knowledge among orthopedic nurses,and to provide references for improving osteoporosis knowledge among orthopedic nurses.Methods We investigated 5 681 orthopedic nurses from 621 hospitals in 31 provinces(autonomous regions/municipalities)using a convenient sampling method from September 2023 to November 2023.We collected information using a general information questionnaire and osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool.We used univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify risk factors.Results A total of 5 204 orthopedic nurses were included.The total mean score of osteoporosis knowledge assessment tool of nurses was[13.00(12.00,14.00)],and 23.48％nurses had a low level of osteoporosis awareness.Logistic regression analysis showed that the age,title and position of the nurses,location of the hospital,the level of the hospital,whether to conduct the fracture liaison service/to set up the refracture prevention team,whether to use calcium tablets/vitamin D,whether to carry out anti-osteoporosis drug therapy,and whether to conduct topical lectures on osteoporosis or secondary fractures,were the factors that affected orthopedic nurses'knowledge of osteoporosis(P＜0.05).Conclusion The osteoporosis knowledge of orthopedic nurses needs to be improved.Nursing managers should carry out personalized interventions from both hospital and nurse levels to improve the osteoporosis knowledge of orthopedic nurses in our country.

Objective A cross-sectional survey on the postoperative home care status and barriers was conducted among elderly patients with osteoporotic fractures nationwide,in order to provide a basis for promoting the improvement of standardized home care for elderly patients with osteoporotic fractures.Methods From October to November 2023,a survey on the current situation and barriers of home environment protection was conducted among elderly patients with osteoporotic fractures in the orthopedic wards of 594 hospitals across 31 provinces(autonomous regions/municipalities directly under the central government)using a convenience sampling method.Results A total of 14,349 questionnaires were distributed,and 12,496 valid questionnaires were collected,resulting in an effective response rate of 87.09％.Among the patients,5,502 cases(44.03％)had implemented home-based prevention and treatment of osteoporosis before the fracture.2 095(16.77％)of the patients experienced a subsequent fracture,of which 65.11％of the patients who experienced a subsequent fracture received medication intervention after the initial fracture,while 19.86％of the patients who experienced a subsequent fracture did not comply with the treatment for osteoporosis after the initial fracture.Additionally,77.66％(n=1 627/2 095)of the patients received community medical services after the initial fracture.Barriers to care factors in the home environment after fracture from the patient's perspective presented the complexity of the social-ecological system model in 6 dimensions at 2 levels:micro(basic personal situation,physiological factors,psychological factors,and behavioural factors),and meso(social support factors,and healthcare worker factors).Conclusion In the vast majority of elderly patients in China,before osteoporotic fracture,home-based measures to prevent osteoporosis have not been adequately implemented;after the initial osteoporotic fracture,the pathway of re-fracture prevention and management in the patient's home environment is not yet complete and its popularity needs to be improved;the barriers to home care faced by elderly patients with osteoporotic fracture are complex.It is recommended to promote effective linkages among hospitals,community health centres and families to strengthen the closed-loop management of re-fracture prevention and management.
