A 51-year-old male presented with nasal obstruction, followed by progressive hearing loss and blurred vision. Imaging identified space-occupying lesions in the paranasal sinuses, orbits, and paraspinal regions, while laboratory tests confirmed positive anti-proteinase 3 anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(PR3- ANCA) immunoglobulin G (IgG)and markedly elevated serum IgG4. Despite treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and radiotherapy, the patient exhibited steroid dependency with relentless disease progression. Following multidisciplinary consultation, a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) coexisting with ANCA- associated vasculitis (AAV) was favored, though IgG4-related disease remained a critical differential. Ultimately, profound immunosuppression precipitated a severe herpesvirus infection, leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. This case underscores the rarity and diagnostic complexity of concurrent IMT and AAV, highlights the therapeutic dilemma of balancing primary disease control against fatal opportunistic infections, and emphasizes the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases.

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.

Objective To explore how digital and intelligent technologies can optimize the storage allocation and picking paths for Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces.Methods Based on prescription information and medicine data from the hospital information system(HIS),this study employs MATLAB programming to use an integer linear programming(ILP)algorithm for optimizing the storage allocation of Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces.Additionally,a greedy algorithm is applied to optimize the picking paths to reduce the picking distance for pharmacists.Finally,an independent samples paired t-test is used to analyze the experimental data to verify the significance of the optimizations.Results A total of 7 734 prescriptions were collected from the HIS.The results of storage optimization showed that the total distance before optimization was(87.58±0.29)m,which was reduced to(85.35±0.28)m after optimization(P﹤0.000 1).The picking path optimization results showed that the picking path was(85.35±0.28)m before optimization and(40.06±0.11)m after optimization(P﹤0.000 1).The results of the independent samples paired t-test indicate that the path was significantly reduced after both storage and picking path optimizations,with statistical significance.Conclusion By using digital and intelligent methods,informatics pharmacists can effectively shorten the picking paths for Traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces,improve dispensing efficiency,and reduce patient waiting times.

Objective To present and discuss beam characteristics of the first Mevion S250i gantry-mounted accelerator pencil beam scanning proton therapy system in China.Methods The output dose was measured using a parallel-plate ionization chamber.The integrated depth dose was measured with a large-radius Bragg peak ionization chamber,covering 19 energy levels ranging from 227 MeV to 28 MeV,to analyze the proton beam characteristics.The spots in the air were measured with Phoenix flat panel detector on the beam central axis,and the precision of the delivery position was verified by measuring the multi-spot beam map.The interleaf leakage and penumbra reduction of adaptive aperture were measured to characterize its performance.Results The proton system was calibrated for a maximum energy of 227 MeV,with a(10×10)cm2uniform field delivering 1 Gy dose at a depth of 5 cm underwater.The system effectively modulated the proton beam range to the patient's surface,maintaining a constant 80%-80%Bragg peak width of 8.6 mm at all energy levels.The spot size of the highest energy beam at the isocenter was about 4 mm in the air,and the spot delivery position error was less than 1 mm.The interleaf leakage rate of the adaptive aperture for the highest energy beam was below 1.5%,and the penumbra was significantly reduced.Conclusion Mevion S250i proton therapy system demonstrates unique design and beam characteristics,which is reflected in the Bragg peak shape,spot size variation with energy,and penumbra sharpening of adaptive aperture;and these differences should be considered in treatment planning system modeling and planning for precision treatment.

Diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, collectively referred to the " Three Highs, " represent increasingly prevalent metabolic risk factors in China. Many individuals experience all three conditions concurrently, significantly heightening the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Although the National Metabolic Management Center(MMC) has been established for over eight years and has its unique features, the awareness, treatment, and control rates of these diseases in China remain low, and the efficiency of community management is insufficient. According to the previous two editions of management guidelines and the most recent domestic and international diagnostic and treatment guidelines, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the operational experience and management strategies of the MMC. Its aim is to improve the efficiency of grassroots MMC mode management for " Three Highs" patients and ensure that patients receive more standardized management.

Objective To evaluate the dose distribution of hippocampal sparing whole-brain proton therapy based on the treatment planning system of Mevion S250i proton therapy system.Methods Twenty patients undergoing hippocampal sparing whole-brain radiotherapy were selected.Under the same optimal conditions,plans using VMAT,fixed-angle IMPT without a-daptive aperture,IMPT with static adaptive aperture and IMPT with dynamic adaptive aperture were designed for each pa-tient.HI,CI,GI and the dose of hippocampus,lens,optic nerve,cochlea in different groups were compared.Results Compared with the VMAT plans,the IMPT plans without the adaptive aperture improved the target homogeneity index from(0.45±0.15)to(0.60±0.08),and the high-dose D2 in the targets decreased from(3368.22±65.94)cGy to(3270.67±104.78)cGy,and the irradiation doses of the hippocampus,lens and cochlea were significantly reduced(P<0.05).The target gradient of IM-PT plans could be improved using static adaptive aperture,and the dose of lens could be further reduced(P<0.05).The target gradient and conformal degree of the IMPT plans were significantly improved using dynamic adaptive aperture,and the dose of the optic nerves,lens and cochleae were further reduced(P<0.05).Conclusion IMPT has a dosimetric advantage over VMAT in hippocampal sparing whole-brain radiotherapy.The use of Mevion adaptive aperture can not only further optimize the dose to the target area,but also minimize the radiation doses to the normal tissue around the target area,which has a good clinical appli-cation prospect.
