Gorham-Stout disease(GSD) is a rare osteolytic disorder characterized by spontaneous and progressive osteolysis, along with abnormal angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, with no new bone formation. We present a case of a 15-year-old female admitted due to " recurrent right leg pain for 5 years, 11 months after undergoing right femoral fracture surgery". Through comprehensive integration of the patient's clinical phenotype, laboratory tests, imaging findings, pathological examinations, and molecular biological test results, GSD was considered highly likely. A multidisciplinary treatment approach was conducted, including a combination of zoledronic acid and sirolimus to inhibit osteolysis, along with rehabilitation training and orthopedic intervention, providing a personalized and comprehensive treatment strategy.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Huangkui capsules on targeted drug-related proteinuria in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of HCC patients with targeted drug-related proteinuria from June 2023 to December 2024 at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. According to the treatment plan, patients were divided into the conventional treatment group and the Huangkui combination treatment group (Huangkui capsules combined with conventional treatment), and the clinical efficacy between the two groups was compared. The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the main factors affecting treatment efficacy. Results The Huangkui combination treatment group (n＝29) showed a significantly higher overall effective rate (79.3% vs 42.3%, P＝0.005), and an earlier proteinuria improvement (median time: 3 months vs 6 months, P＝0.008) than the conventional treatment group (n＝26) . The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker (ARB) using (OR＝0.190, 95%CI 0.045-0.808, P＝0.025), targeted drug adjustment (OR＝0.132, 95%CI 0.030-0.581, P＝0.007), and Huangkui capsules using (OR＝0.168, 95%CI 0.039-0.730, P＝0.017) were protective factors for treatment efficacy of targeted drug-related proteinuria. Conclusions On the basis of conventional treatment, additive treatment with Huangkui capsules can alleviate targeted drug-related proteinuria faster and more effectively in HCC patients.

BACKGROUND:Multiple studies and observations have indicated a close relationship between inflammation,metabolites,and osteoporosis.However,it is still unclear whether there is a genetic causal effect between inflammation-related proteins and osteoporosis and whether metabolites play a mediating role in this process.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the causal relationships between inflammation-related proteins and osteoporosis using Mendelian randomization method as well as the mediating effect of plasma metabolites in this process.METHODS:Summary data from genome-wide association studies(GWAS)were used,with osteoporosis data sourced from the Fengenn database,and GWAS data on inflammation-related proteins and plasma metabolites obtained from published studies.The inverse-variance weighted method was primarily used to assess the exposure-outcome relationships.Bidirectional Mendelian randomization analyses were used to explore the causal relationships between inflammation-related proteins and osteoporosis,and two-step Mendelian randomization was used to discover potential mediating metabolites.Sensitivity analyses were then performed to further validate the robustness of the results.Cochran's Q test was used to assess heterogeneity,and horizontal pleiotropy was evaluated using the MR-Egger intercept and MR-PRESSO methods.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The initial bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis identified five inflammation-related proteins that showed a positive causal relationship with osteoporosis and no reverse causal relationship.Artemin(odds ratio[OR]=0.895,95%confidence interval[CI]:0.819-0.979,P=0.015)was negatively associated with osteoporosis,whereas chemokine(C-X-C Motif)ligand 1(OR=1.100,95%CI:1.002-1.209,P=0.046),chemokine(C-X-C Motif)ligand 11(OR=1.150,95%CI:1.043-1.268,P=0.005),interleukin 17C(OR=1.087,95%CI:1.004-1.176,P=0.040),and tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis(OR=1.108,95%CI:1.002-1.226,P=0.046)were positively associated with osteoporosis.Sensitivity analyses indicated no heterogeneity or pleiotropy in these causal effects.Subsequently,we conducted a two-step Mendelian randomization to discover potential mediating metabolites.This study showed that 1-palmitoyl-gpc(16:0)increased the negative effect of Artemin on osteoporosis.5α-androstan-3α,17β-diol monosulfate increased the risk of osteoporosis mediated by chemokine(C-X-C Motif)ligand 1 and chemokine(C-X-C Motif)ligand 11.The ratio of α-ketoglutarate to succinate led to an increased risk of osteoporosis mediated by chemokine(C-X-C Motif)ligand 11 and interleukin-17C.Spermidine and the ratio of proline to trans-4-hydroxyproline contributed to an increased risk of osteoporosis mediated by chemokine(C-X-C Motif)ligand 11.12,13-DiHOME contributed to an increased risk of osteoporosis mediated by interleukin-17C.The sulfate level of piperine metabolite C16H19NO3(3)and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate contributed to an increased risk of osteoporosis mediated by tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis.In conclusion,the above data indicate that some inflammation-related proteins can influence the risk of osteoporosis,both positively and negatively,and some of these effects are mediated by plasma metabolites.This provides new insights for future investigations into the occurrence and development mechanisms of osteoporosis.

Objective:To explore the application effect of Kaitianmen point massage on pain, faligue, anxiety and depression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled study, a total of 80 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who were admitted to Shanghai Guanghua Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from May to November 2023 were selected as the research objects. The control group was given routine treatment and nursing, and the experimental group was given Kaitianmen acupoint massage on the basis of routine treatment and nursing. The differences in pain score, fatigue score, anxiety and depression score before and after intervention were compared between the two groups.Results:In the final, there were 37 cases in the experimental group and 36 cases in the control group completed the study. Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in pain scores, fatigue scores, anxiety and depression scores between the two groups (all P>0.05). After four weeks of intervention, the pain score of the experimental group was (2.06 ± 0.35), and that of the control group was (3.72 ± 0.59), the difference was statistically significant ( t=14.57, P<0.05). After four weeks of intervention, the fatigue score of the experimental group was (20.11 ± 8.03), and that of the control group was (25.02 ± 8.32), the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.55, P<0.05). After four weeks of intervention, the anxiety score of the experimental group was (48.33 ± 6.13), which was significantly different from (53.99 ± 4.91) of the control group ( t=4.35, P<0.05), and the depression score of the experimental group was (49.99 ± 6.33), compared with the (54.86 ± 4.83) of control group, the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.69, P<0.05). Conclusions:Kaitianmen acupoint massage can relieve limb pain, fatigue, anxiety and depression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Background: Bushen Zhuanggu Formula (BZF), derived from the classic Yougui Pills, has shown favorable clinical efficacy in treating advanced nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (NONFH), particularly by promoting bone repair. However, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Objective: This study aimed to explore the mechanisms by which BZF promotes bone repair in advanced NONFH. Materials and methods: A total of 518 potential BZF targets were identified from the ETCM v2.0 database. Transcriptomic profiling of clinical cohorts revealed 485 differentially expressed genes in advanced NONFH patients compared to healthy controls. A drug target-disease gene interaction network was constructed to identify candidate BZF targets involved in NONFH pathogenesis. In vivo experiments were conducted to validate the effects of BZF in a rat model of advanced NONFH. Results: Network analysis identified key pathways associated with blood circulation obstruction, immune-inflammatory imbalance, and abnormal bone metabolism. Protein kinase C alpha (PKCA), Ras proto-oncogene (RAS), mitogen-activated protein kinase 3(ERK), ETS proto-oncogene 1 (ETS1), and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) formed a signaling axis implicated in NONFH pathogenesis. BZF treatment alleviated joint inflammation, preserved trabecular bone morphology, reduced bone loss, and promoted bone repair. Mechanistically, BZF significantly downregulated the expression of PKCA, RAS, ERK, ETS1, and RANKL, improved blood circulation, and inhibited osteoclast activation while promoting osteoblast activation. Conclusion: BZF may promote bone repair in advanced NONFH by enhancing blood circulation and modulating the PKC-RAS-ERK-ETS1-RANKL signaling axis, thereby reversing dysregulated bone metabolism.
