Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare systemic immune-mediated disorder characterized by infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells and multiorgan fibrosis. Among them, cases with multiple pancreatic cystic lesions as the prominent manifestation are relatively rare, and they are easily misdiagnosed as pancreatic tumors or pancreatitis in clinical practice. Herein, we report one patient with IgG4-RD admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The patient initially presented with multiple pancreatic cystic lesions and aneurysmal dilatation of the abdominal aorta, accompanied by markedly elevated serum IgG4 levels. Combined with pathological findings from submandibular gland biopsy, the diagnosis of IgG4-RD was ultimately established. After treatment with a regimen of glucocorticoids combined with cyclophosphamide, the patient′s condition improved. Meanwhile, we performed a literature review of cases with IgG4-RD-related pancreatic cystic lesions, aiming to improve clinicians′ understanding of this rare disease phenotype.

Objective:To construct an ultrasound-responsive nano-oxygen carrier,and to enhance cell survival within myocardial patches and promote myocardial infarction(MI)repair.Methods:Ultrasound-responsive phase-change nanobubbles(ND)were first prepared and integrated into GelMA hydrogel to construct myocardial patches. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound(LIPUS)irradiation was applied to explore whether the nanobubbles could optimize the hydrogel properties. Hemoglobin(Hb)was further encapsulated into the nanobubbles to construct an oxygen carrier(ND-Hb). In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to evaluate whether the optimized myocardial patches could improve cell survival and facilitate MI repair. In vitro,cell-loaded patches were divided into 6 groups(control,ND,Hb,LIPUS,LIPUS+ND,and LIPUS+oxygen carrier groups)to assess the cell viability and protein expression. In vivo,an acute MI model was established in SD rats,which were randomly assigned to 4 groups(control,Hb,LIPUS+ND,and LIPUS+oxygen carrier groups).Myocardial patches were implanted,and cardiac function(echocardiography),cell survival(BLI imaging),angiogenesis(CD31 and α-SMA immunofluorescence)and connexin protein expression(Cx43)were evaluated. Results:Following the incorporation of ND and LIPUS irradiation,scanning electron microscopy revealed numerous micropores(about 2 μm)within the hydrogel were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The nano-oxygen carrier was successfully constructed,with a particle size of(301.2 ± 92.4)nm,and released oxygen under LIPUS stimulation. In vitro,at days 3,7,and 14,the cell survival rates in the LIPUS+oxygen carrier group[(89.6 ± 2.1)%,(79.3 ± 1.8)%,(70.9 ± Conclusions:This study successfully employs LIPUS combined with ND-Hb to enhance hydrogel properties,facilitating nutrient exchange within myocardial patches. Additionally,ultrasound-mediated oxygen release improves seed cell survival and promotes myocardial infarction repair.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of endoscopic sclerotherapy for internal hemorrhoids and its effects on patients' bowel function.Methods:A total of 111 patients who received endoscopic sclerotherapy at Xi'an No. 3 Hospital from September 2019 to August 2020 were retrospectively included in this study. Clinical efficacy, postoperative complications, perianal discomfort, and abnormal defecation were compared among patients with grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids at 1, 4, 8, 12 weeks, and 6 months after surgery.Results:After 6 months of follow-up, the overall response rate was 77.48% (86/111), and the cure rate was 77.17% (79/111). The response rate and cure rate for rectal bleeding were 83.75% (67/80) and 80.00% (64/80), respectively. The response rate and cure rate for prolapse were 82.46% (47/57) and 75.44% (43/57), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in the response rates and cure rates for rectal bleeding and prolapse symptoms among patients with grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids at each follow-up time point (all P>0.05). Among the 111 patients, 27.93% (31/111) experienced perianal discomfort, and 40.54% (45/111) reported abnormal defecation. The incidences of perianal discomfort and abnormal defecation were not statistically significant among patients with grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids (both P>0.05). In patients with gradeⅠ and Ⅱ internal hemorrhoids, perianal discomfort symptoms began to improve 4 weeks after surgery, while symptoms of abnormal defecation started to improve 1 week after surgery. Conclusions:Endoscopic sclerotherapy has a good clinical efficacy for rectal bleeding and prolapse symptoms in patients with grade Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids. Additionally, it improves perianal discomfort and abnormal defecation by identifying the anal canal transition zone in patients with internal hemorrhoids.

Objective:To apply the Timed Up and Go Test(TUGT)to investigate the correlation between motor function, emotional state, cognitive function, and sleep quality among elderly individuals in the Chinese community.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 739 subjects aged 60 to 90 years, who were randomly recruited from December 2021 to August 2023 across Beijing, Tianjin, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Hainan Provinces in China.Basic demographic information was collected, and the TUGT was utilized to assess motor function.Based on the TUGT time(t), the subjects were divided into three groups: normal motor function group, mild motor abnormality group, and significant motor abnormality group.Cognitive function was evaluated using the Chinese Revised Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE), while the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale(PHQ-9)was employed to measure the degree of depression.Additionally, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS)was used to assess excessive daytime sleepiness.The correlation between subjects' motor function and their cognitive abilities, mood, and sleep was subsequently analyzed.Results:Systolic blood pressure, heart rate, PHQ-9, MMSE, and ESS scores were identified as significant factors influencing TUGT time.Specifically, TUGT time was positively correlated with PHQ-9 and ESS scores, while exhibiting negative correlations with systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and MMSE scores.Additionally, TUGT time was negatively correlated with the MMSE subcomponents of orientation, immediate memory, and verbal ability.All observed differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that an increase in the PHQ-9 score was associated with an odds ratio( OR)of 1.099(95% CI: 1.045-1.155, P<0.001)(mild motor abnormality group)and 1.150(95% CI: 1.066-1.242, P<0.001)(Significant motor abnormality group).Additionally, a reduction in the MMSE score was observed, with an OR of 0.939(95% CI: 0.886-0.995, P<0.001)(mild motor abnormality group)and 0.793(95% CI: 0.729-0.862, P<0.001)(Significant motor abnormality group).Furthermore, an increase in the ESS score was noted, with ORs of 1.139(95% CI: 1.094-1.186, P<0.001)(mild motor abnormality group)and 1.203(95% CI: 1.132-1.279, P<0.001)(Significant motor abnormality group).These findings suggest that these variables are independently related to decreased motor function. Conclusions:Depression, cognitive impairment, and excessive daytime sleepiness are independent risk factors for motor dysfunction among elderly individuals in community settings.The Timed Up and Go Test TUGT can be utilized for the early screening of motor function decline in this population.
