A 71-year-old male presented with esophageal cancer and severe aortic valve regurgitation. Treatment strategies for such patients are controversial. Considering the risks of cardiopulmonary bypass and potential esophageal cancer metastasis, we successfully performed transcatheter aortic valve implantation and minimally invasive three-incision thoracolaparoscopy combined with radical resection of esophageal cancer (McKeown) simultaneously in the elderly patient who did not require neoadjuvant treatment. This dual minimally invasive procedure took 6 hours and the patient recovered smoothly without any surgical complications.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Yangxue Qingnao Pills (YXQNP) combined with amlodipine in treating patients with grade 1 hypertension. METHODS: This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled study. Adult patients with grade 1 hypertension of blood deficiency and Gan (Liver)-yang hyperactivity syndrome were randomly divided into the treatment or the control groups at a 1:1 ratio. The treatment group received YXQNP and amlodipine besylate, while the control group received YXQNP's placebo and amlodipine besylate. The treatment duration lasted for 180 days. Outcomes assessed included changes in blood pressure, Chinese medicine (CM) syndrome scores, symptoms and target organ functions before and after treatment in both groups. Additionally, adverse events, such as nausea, vomiting, rash, itching, and diarrhea, were recorded in both groups. RESULTS: A total of 662 subjects were enrolled, of whom 608 (91.8%) completed the trial (306 in the treatment and 302 in the control groups). After 180 days of treatment, the standard deviations and coefficients of variation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels were lower in the treatment group compared with the control group. The improvement rates of dizziness, headache, insomnia, and waist soreness were significantly higher in the treatment group compared with the control group (P<0.05). After 30 days of treatment, the overall therapeutic effects on CM clinical syndromes were significantly increased in the treatment group as compared with the control group (P<0.05). After 180 days of treatment, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, ankle brachial index and albumin-to-creatinine ratio were improved in both groups, with no statistically significant differences (P>0.05). No serious treatment-related adverse events occurred during the study period. CONCLUSIONS Combination therapy of YXQNP with amlodipine significantly improved symptoms such as dizziness and headache, reduced blood pressure variability, and showed a trend toward lowering urinary microalbumin in hypertensive patients. These findings suggest that this regimen has good clinical efficacy and safety. (Registration No. ChiCTR1900022470).

The Golgi apparatus(GA),an essential membrane organelle in eukaryotes positioned between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane,is responsible for transporting and modifying proteins and lipids generated by the endoplasmic reticulum.The homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum and GA plays a crucial role in regulating cellular life.When GA is unable to bear the load of protein or lipid processing and transportation,it enters a state of stress.Cells sense this and activate Golgi-related quality control mechanisms.By regulating the structure and function of GA,it provides important protection for the cell or induces programmed cell death,known as the GA stress response.Understanding the mechanisms and outcomes of cellular GA stress is of great significance for exploring Golgi dynamics and its impact on human diseases.This review summarizes the structure and function of GA under physiological conditions,the phenomenon of GA stress under pathological conditions,and the role of GA in infectious diseases,aiming to provide a basis for the clinical study of new strategies for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.

Risks of food safety induced by small molecule drug residues in animal food and environment have become an increasing public concern,so it is necessary to develop highly sensitive and easy-to-operate techniques to detect small molecules.Herein,a metasurface plasma resonance(MetaSPR)sensor chip coupled with gold nanoparticles(AuNPs)was developed for detection of enrofloxacin(ENR)based on competitive immunoassay.The detection range of the sensor for ENR was 0.025-3.2 ng/mL,and the detection limit(3σ)was 20 pg/mL.The biosensor showed excellent performance including high selectivity,good stability,ease to operate and high throughput,etc.The developed method was applied to detection of ENR residues in real samples,with recoveies of 96.0% -105.0%.The proposed sensing strategy provided new technique reference for detection of other small molecules in the field of residue analysis in food safety and environment monitoring.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with IgD multiple myeloma (MM). METHODS: The clinical data of 8 patients with IgD MM admitted to Gansu Provincial Hospital from September 2013 to February 2023 were collected, and their clinical characteristics and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed and summarized. RESULTS: Among the 8 enrolled patients, there were 4 males and 4 females, with a median age of 60 (44-74) years. All patients had symptoms of renal insufficiency and anemia. There were 3 cases of bone invasion, 3 cases of splenomegaly, 7 cases of IgD-λ type, and 1 case of IgD-κ type. FISH examination was performed in 7 cases, and 6 of them were positive for 1q21 . There were 6 cases in DS stage III and 2 cases in DS stage II; According to ISS staging, there were 6 cases in stage III, 1 case in stage II, and 1 case in stage I; According to R-ISS staging, there were 5 cases in stage III and 3 cases in stage II. All patients received bortezomib-based combination chemotherapy, with 1 case undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and 2 cases receiving daratumumab in combination. The median treatment period was 6 (1-15) cycles. The short-term efficacy was evaluated after 4-6 courses of treatment. Among the 6 patients with assessable efficacy, 1 case experienced disease progression (PD), and 5 cases achieved complete remission (CR). The median follow-up time was 26 (11-33) months, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) of the patients were 11.25 (3-26) months and 18.5 (4-33) months, respectively. Among the 8 patients, 4 cases died. Among the deceased patients, 3 cases were in R-ISS stage III and 3 cases were 1q21 positive. 2 of the 5 patients with early CR died due to disease progression. CONCLUSION The incidence of IgD MM is low, the symptoms of early renal damage, blood system damage and bone erosion in IgD MM patients are obvious, and the median survival time is short. ASCT and / or daratumumab may bring lasting relief for IgD MM patients, but large-scale clinical studies are still needed.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL). METHODS: The clinical data of 7 patients with T-LGLL in Gansu Provincial Hospital from March 2016 to June 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Among the 7 patients, 5 were male and 2 were female, with a median age of 51(28-83) years old. At the onset of illness, 6 cases showed symptoms of fatigue and anemia, 4 cases had enlarged lymph nodes, and 5 cases had splenomegaly. Examination showed that 4 cases were antinuclear antibody(ANA) positive, 5 cases were anemia. The median hemoglobin (Hb) level was 83(61-151) g/L, the median white blood cell count (WBC) was 5.6(2.0-8.7)×10⁹ /L, and the median percentage of lymphocytes in peripheral blood was 66.2(13.9-89.1)%. There were 3 cases with extremely active bone marrow hyperplasia, 2 cases with active hyperplasia, and 2 cases with decreased hyperplasia. There were 5 cases with mild myelofibrosis (MF-1), and 1 case with moderate myelofibrosis (MF-2). The median percentage of T cells was 64.3 (31.5-80.6)%. 5 cases showed the classic immunophenotype (CD3 ⁺ CD4^- CD8 ⁺), 6 cases were CD57 ⁺, 3 cases were TCRα/β ⁺, and 3 cases were TCRγ/δ ⁺. TCRG rearrangement was detected in 5 cases.The median follow-up time was 55(4-87) months, one patient died of heart disease, and the other 6 patients are surviving. CONCLUSION The incidence of T-LGLL is low. The initial symptoms of T-LGLL include anemia, fatigue, lymph node enlargement, splenomegaly, and higher percentage of lymphocytes in peripheral blood, the percentage of abnormal T cells in bone marrow was significantly increased. Analysis of flow cytometric immunophenotyping, TCR gene rearrangement, and hot spot genes such as STAT3 and STAT5b, can improve the diagnostic accuracy.
