Central venous lesions are challenging in the maintenance of hemodialysis vascular access, with endovascular therapy as the preferred treatment. Coated stent grafts, with superior primary patency rates and the ability to mitigate the risk of vascular rupture and bleeding, have become one of the clinical options. However, they pose a risk of occluding important tributary veins. This report describes a case of right innominate vein occlusion treated with a small-caliber coated stent graft, resulting in postoperative symptoms of intracranial venous hypertension. This case highlights the need to pay attention to neurological symptoms caused by central venous lesions and conduct a more meticulous assessment of contralateral venous return before placing coated stent grafts, to avoid irreversible neurological symptoms.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement is one of the most significant subtypes of temporomandibular joint disorders, but its etiology and mechanism are poorly understood. In this study, we elucidated the mechanisms by which destruction of inflamed collagen fibrils induces alterations in the mechanical properties and positioning of the TMJ disc. By constructing a rat model of TMJ arthritis, we observed anteriorly dislocated TMJ discs with aggravated deformity in vivo from five weeks to six months after a local injection of Freund's complete adjuvant. By mimicking inflammatory conditions with interleukin-1 beta in vitro, we observed enhanced expression of collagen-synthesis markers in primary TMJ disc cells cultured in a conventional two-dimensional environment. In contrast, three-dimensional (3D)-cultivated disc cell sheets demonstrated the disordered assembly of inflamed collagen fibrils, inappropriate arrangement, and decreased Young's modulus. Mechanistically, inflammation-related activation of the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway occurs during the progression of TMJ arthritis. NF-κB inhibition reduced the collagen fibril destruction in the inflamed disc cell sheets in vitro, and early NF-κB blockade alleviated collagen degeneration and dislocation of the TMJ discs in vivo. Therefore, the NF-κB pathway participates in the collagen remodeling in inflamed TMJ discs, offering a potential therapeutic target for disc displacement.

Objectives It was a preliminary exploration on rare disease management of comprehensive hospital based on the"Center-Multidisciplinary Team"structure.Methods By applying interrupted time series analysis,the characteristics and related medical service of rare disease patients discharged from sample hospitals from 2021 to 2023 were measured.Results The results showed that the hospital served 19 825 rare disease patients from 2021 to 2023.The proportion of patients whose main diagnosis were rare diseases was approximately 27％.The interrupted time series technique indicated that the expected proportion of rare disease patients increased instantly by 1.89 thousand points.The capability to diagnose has significantly improved,with a growing trend on volume of bioinformatics analysis services for rare diseases patients.Conclusion The rare disease management based on the"Center-Team"structure can increase the attention of medical staff to rare diseases,strengthen the diagnostic capacity of rare diseases,and make patient management more continuous and disciplinary co-operation more efficient without significantly increasing the input burden on hospitals.
