Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of subcutaneous and submucosal edema, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. Lanadelumab, a recombinant human monoclonal antibody against kallikrein, has been recommended as a first-line option for long-term prophylaxis of HAE. This paper analyzed the clinical data of four patients with HAE diagnosed and treated with lanadelumab for long-term prophylaxis in our department since 2020. It also reviewed relevant literature, summarizing the clinical manifestations of HAE, as well as the efficacy and safety of lanadelumab in treating HAE, to provide therapeutic references for clinicians.

OBJECTIVE To compare the anti-oxidative effects of "three decoctions for COVID-19" (Qingfei Paidu decoction, Huashi Baidu decoction, Xuanfei Baidu decoction) in parallel experimental models. METHODS In the cell-free system, the total antioxidant capacity was investigated by FRAP method. The scavenging effects of DPPH radicals and superoxide anions were evaluated by DPPH and NBT reduction method, respectively. The scavenging effect of hydroxyl radicals was determined by a fluorescence method based on the end-product MDA. The anti-lipid peroxidation activity was investigated using the FeSO4-induced rat liver homogenate MDA method. Based on these five antioxidant indicators, the antioxidant capabilities of the extracts of three decoctions were parallelly compared in the cell-free system. Furthermore, in lipopolysaccharide-activated RAW264.7 cells, the productions of intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(ROS) were detected using the L-012 probe and the MitoSOX mitochondrial superoxide red fluorescence probe, respectively; and intracellular NADPH oxidase activity was measured using the lucigenin probe. These three indicators were used to parallelly compare the antioxidant capabilities of the extracts of three decoctions. RESULTS In the cell-free system, three decoctions for COVID-19 could concentration-dependently scavenge DPPH radicals, superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals, and potently inhibit the lipid peroxidation. At the equal extract concentration, their scavenging effects on DPPH radicals and superoxide anions and the total antioxidant capacity were comparable; while Huashi Baidu decoction exhibited the strongest ability to scavenge hydroxyl radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation. In the cell system, three decoctions could reduce lipopolysaccharide-elevated intracellular ROS level by weakening NADPH oxidase activity; meanwhile, they could decrease mitochondrial ROS productions, among which Qingfei Paidu decoction possessed the most comprehensive effection. CONCLUSION Collectively, three decoctions for COVID-19 exert diverse antioxidant effects in both cell-free and cell systems, and each of them possesses the distinct advantages. Given that oxidative stress is pivotal during the pathological process of COVID-19, the results may suggest that the antioxidant ability of three decoctions is one of the pharmacodynamic basis for their clinical use.

Objective:To investigate the effect of a visual walking training based on wearable cueing devices on ground reaction force of Parkinson's disease patients with freezing of gait. Method:Twenty-three PD with FOG(PD+FOG)were selected and twenty healthy controls(HC)were tested in gait laboratory.The experimental group was trained with wearable walking guide devices for 20 minutes,twice a day for one week.The Vicon 3D gait analysis system was used to collect the spatiotemporal parame-ters and the ground reaction force parameters of the non-dominant side and the dominant side including front-back peak,medial-lateral peak and the first vertical peak)of the experimental group and the control group be-fore and after training. Result:①After the intervention,the bilateral step length and velocity of patients in the experimental group in-creased signi ficantly(P＜0.05),while cadence,double stance phase decreased significantly(P＜0.05).After train-ing,there was no significant difference in the dominant step length,cadence and double stance phase between experimental group and control group(P＞0.05).②After the training,bilateral parameters(landing angles of hip joints,the maximum angles of ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion,and the ranges of motion of lower limb joints)in the experimental group increased significantly,while the landing angles of knee joints de-creased,and the stage of the first peak of ankle joints was delayed,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Af-ter the training,knee joint landing angle,maximum ankle dorsiflexion angle,the first peak stage of ankle joint,lower limb joint range of motion had no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in both sides(P＞0.05).③After the intervention,the front-back peak value and the first vertical peak of the bilateral ground reaction force in the experimental group were significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the medial-lateral peak value of the ground reaction force was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,there was no significant difference in the backward peak,medial peak of non-domi-nant side and parameters of the dominant side(P＞0.05). Conclusion:The visual walking training based on wearable walking guide devices improve the stability and consistency of gait of PD+FOG.

Objective To explore the correlation of MPV,NLR,PT,APTT and FIB with early pro-gression of ACI in patients with BAD.Methods A total of 303 ACI patients with BAD admitted in our department of neurology from October 2021 to September 2023 were consecutively recrui-ted,and according to their progression within 7 d of onset,they were divided into progression group(89 cases)and un-progression group(214 cases).The general clinical data,blood routine re-lated indicators(MPV,NLR)and coagulation related indicators(PT,APTT,FIB)were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the rela-tionship of above indicators with early progression of ACI in BAD patients.ROC curve was plot-ted to analyze the predictive value of the indictors for disease progression in these patients.Results The progression group had significantly advanced age,larger proportions of diabetes,hyperlipi-demia and stroke history,and increased levels of uric acid,LDL-C,homocysteine,MPV,platelet distribution width,NLR,D-dimer and FIB,and shorter TT,PT and APTT when compared with the un-progressed group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MPV,NLR,PT,APTT,and FIB were all independent influencing factors for early disease pro-gression of ACI in patients with BAD(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).ROC curve indicated that the AUC value of combined MPV,NLR,PT,APTT and FIB in detecting early disease progression was 0.859(95％CI:0.813-0.905).Conclusion Blood routine(MPV,NLR)and coagulation related indicators(PT,APTT,FIB)are closely associated with the early disease progression of ACI in BAD patients,and these indicators are of high value in predicting the early disease progression.

Objective:To analyze the temperature difference of benign and malignant parotid gland tumors in preoperative infrared thermography (IRT), and to provide the basis for predicting tumor properties.Methods:The clinical data of 98 patients with parotid gland tumor admitted to the Department of Oral and maxillofacial Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, from May 2021 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 61 males and 37 females, aged (51.1±16.0) years (10-86 years). In addition to routine examination, the temperature difference between the lesion site of parotid gland and the contralateral mirror area was measured by infrared thermal imager in all patients one day before surgery. The maximum diameter (dmax) and location of the tumor (deep or superficial lobe) were recorded according to preoperative clinical examination and imaging examinations such as CT and ultrasound. The patients were divided into three groups by tumor size: dmax≤2 cm, 2 cm4 cm. The patients were also divided into different groups: deep lobe group and superficial lobe group (according to the tumor location), benign group and malignant group (according to postoperative pathological results). The relationship between temperature difference, pathology, size and location was analyzed.Results:There were 79 cases in the benign group and 19 cases in the malignant group. The temperature difference of the healthy and affected side in the malignant group [(1.73±0.21) ℃] was significantly higher than that in the benign group [(0.73±0.32) ℃] ( t=16.70, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in temperature difference between the healthy and affected sides of tumors with different diameters ( P>0.05). The temperature difference of healthy and affected side of tumor in superficial lobe [(0.97±0.50) ℃] was significantly higher than that in deep lobe [(0.67±0.44) ℃] ( t=2.24, P=0.028). Conclusions:The difference of temperature difference between benign and malignant parotid gland tumors detected by IRT is statistically significant, which can be used to predict tumor properties, and has certain clinical application value.

In conventional ultrasound features, the proportions of HCK-positive breast cancer patients with irregular mass edges, microcalcifications, and grade II to III blood flow classification were significantly higher than those of HCK-negative patients ( χ2 was 7.437, 16.684, 23.262; P was 0.006, <0.001, <0.001) ; The proportion of MRPL13-positive breast cancer patients with a maximum diameter of ≥2 cm, irregular edges of the tumor, and grade II-III blood flow classification was significantly higher than that of MRPL13-negative patients ( χ2 was 4.676, 11.118, 8.389; P was 0.031, 0.001, 0.004) . For SWE signs, the proportion of HCK positive breast cancer patients with hard ring sign was significantly higher than that of HCK negative patients ( χ2=11.220, P=0.001) ; the proportion of MRPL13 positive breast cancer patients with hard ring sign and black hole sign was significantly higher than that of MRPL13. Those who were negative ( χ2 was 4.482, 8.775; P was 0.034, 0.003) . Among CEUS characteristics, the proportion of HCK-positive patients with high enhancement was significantly higher than that of HCK-negative patients ( χ2=7.356, P=0.007) ; the proportion of MRPL13-positive patients with high enhancement and late regression was significantly higher than that of MRPL13-negative patients ( χ2 was 9.165, 7.631; P was 0.002, 0.006) . The results of binary logistic analysis showed that there was microcalcification ( OR=4.619, 95% CI=2.657-8.119, P=0.009) , blood flow classification II to III ( OR=4.150, 95% CI=2.547-7.954, P=0.015) and high enhancement of CEUS ( OR=4.150, 95% CI=2.547-7.954, P=0.015) are independent risk factors for positive expression of HCK; blood flow grade II to grade III ( OR=4.213, 95% CI=3.145-8.557, P=0.012) , appearance of black hole sign ( OR=5.246, 95% CI=2.864-10.378, P<0.001) and high enhancement of CEUS ( OR=3.872, 95% CI=1.887~6.438, P=0.026) were the independent risk factors for the positive expression of MRPL13. Conclusion:The multimodal ultrasonographic features of breast cancer are helpful to predict the expression levels of HCK and MRPL13, so as to provide new imaging ideas for early diagnosis of breast cancer, the designation of treatment options and the preoperative non-invasive assessment of breast cancer prognosis.
