Objective:To investigate disease characteristics of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) based on the PsA cohort in West China Hospital, so as to provide a reference for clinicians in its diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation strategy formulation.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out, and a descriptive analysis was conducted on clinical data from PsA patients who were treated at the Department of Dermatology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between April 2, 2020, and January 21, 2025. Demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging findings, and treatment modalities were analyzed.Results:A total of 530 PsA patients were included, of whom 332 (62.6%) were males and 198 (37.4%) were females, with ages of 44.1 ± 12.4 years. Skin lesions preceded joint symptoms in 452 patients (85.3%), with time intervals ( M [ Q1, Q3]) of 8.0 (3.0, 15.0) years. Overweight or obesity was observed in 319 patients (60.2%), and 188 (35.5%) had comorbid fatty liver. Peripheral joint involvement was common (485 cases, 91.5%), with the proximal interphalangeal joints being most frequently affected by tenderness (172 cases, 35.5%) and swelling (119 cases, 24.5%) ; the number of enthesitis cases identified by ultrasonography (116 cases, 23.9%) was significantly higher than that by clinical examination (82 cases, 15.5%) ; axial joint involvement was observed in 258 patients (48.7%), with the sacroiliac joints most commonly affected (201 cases, 77.9%). Regarding treatment, conventional systemic drugs were predominant in the treatment of psoriasis prior to the diagnosis of PsA; after the diagnosis of PsA, the number of patients receiving targeted therapies increased to 334 (63.0%), with interleukin-17 inhibitors being the most common (140 cases, 26.4%), followed by tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors (106 cases, 20.0%) and Janus kinase inhibitors (39 cases, 7.4%) . Conclusions:PsA predominantly affects males over 40 years old and is characterized by preceding skin lesions, delayed diagnosis, and multiple comorbidities. High-frequency ultrasound has advantages in the early detection of peripheral enthesitis. Further attention is needed for managing comorbidities such as fatty liver and obesity-related metabolic conditions.

Lipophosphatidic acid(LTA)was used to stimulate Mac-T cells,and the expression lev-els and phosphorylation levels of key proteins of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)and mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signaling pathway and the expression levels of upstream key action factors TLR4 and MyD88 proteins were detected by Western blot,and EDU assay was used to detect cell proliferation levels and flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis.The results showed that acti-vation of GPR120 significantly decreased the phosphorylation levels of LTA-induced NF-κB(P65 and IκBα)(P＜0.01)and MAPK(JNK,ERK,p38)(P＜0.01)in Mac-T cells;inhibition of GPR120 was able to upregulate LTA-induced NF-κB(p65 and IκBα)in Mac-T cells(P＜0.01)and MAPK(JNK,ERK,p38)phosphorylation levels(P＜0.01);and activation of GPR120 significantly allevia-ted LTA-induced upregulation of TLR4 and MyD88(P＜0.01);inhibition of GPR120 significantly exacerbated LTA-induced upregulation of TLR4 and MyD88(P＜0.05);LTA stimulation led to a trend of diminished Mac-T cell proliferation and significantly increased apoptosis,whereas activa-tion of the GPR120 gene significantly increased cell activity(P＜0.01),promoted cell proliferation and significantly reduced apoptosis(P＜0.05)thereby alleviating the damage to Mac-T cells by LTA;LTA stimulation led to a highly significant increase in apoptosis(P＜0.01).In contrast,acti-vation of the GPR120 gene significantly reversed the increase in the apoptosis rate of Mac-T cells induced by LTA(P＜0.01),while inhibition of the GPR120 gene enhanced the apoptosis-promo-ting effect of LTA(P＜0.05),indicating that activation of the GPR120 gene attenuated the in-crease of apoptosis rate caused by LTA-induced inflammatory Mac-T cells.The results suggest that GPR120 can regulate inflammation by mediating TLR4 and MyD88 expression to inhibit NF-κB/MAPK inflammatory pathway activation and can promote cell proliferation.

Objective:To explore the diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection complicated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.Methods:The diagnosis and treatment of a patient with HIV infection and ALL who was admitted to Tianjin People's Hospital on February 13, 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the experience was summarized and the literature was reviewed.Results:The patient had a history of HIV infection for more than 3 years, and was diagnosed as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and was treated with VCP (Vindesine 2 mg on days 1, 8, 15, 22, cyclophosphamide 600 mg on days 1-2, 15-16, dexamethasone 9 mg on days 1-14, 5 mg. 15-28 days) and died on the 8th day of chemotherapy. The cause of death was infection.Conclusion:Combined chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on the basis of highly active antiretroviral therapy can improve the prognosis and survival rate of HIV-infected patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Ferroptosis, a new form of programmed cell death marked by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation, is regulated by complex cellular metabolic pathways, including iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, and oxidation-reduction system, is associated with many organ injuries and degeneration, and has great potential in the treatment of ischemic diseases and lipid peroxide-related degenerative diseases. Myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) is the most common cause of death in patients with acute myocardial infarction after revascularization therapy. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis is intimately related to the pathological process of MIRI. Ferroptosis is associated with MIRI through oxidative stress, iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, endoplasmic reticulum stress and inflammatory response. Intervention of ferroptosis during reperfusion can effectively improve cardiac function and reduce myocardial infarct size. In this paper, the research progress was explored between ferroptosis and MIRI, and the specific role of ferroptosis in MIRI was discussed.
