This case report presents a 16-year-old male patient with deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2(DADA2). The patient had a history of Raynaud′s phenomenon with digital ulcers since childhood. As the disease progressed, the patient developed retinal vasculitis, intracranial hemorrhage, skin necrosis, severe malnutrition, refractory hypertension, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Genetic testing revealed compound heterozygous mutations in the ADA2 gene (paternal c.1072G > A pathogenic mutation + maternal c.1065C > A variant of unknown clinical significance). ADA2 enzyme activity was significantly reduced (0.1 U/L). A multidisciplinary treatment team developed an individualized plan to address key issues, including nutritional support, blood pressure control, rehabilitation, pain management, and balancing anticoagulation/bleeding risks. After systematic intervention, the patient′s condition showed partial improvement. This case reveals clinical challenges such as anticoagulation decisions and nutritional support of DADA2. It also emphasizes the importance of early molecular diagnosis, tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitor targeted therapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration in management, underlining the core value of precision medicine in rare disease management.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the manual compression on injection point and the incidence of subcutaneous bleeding after subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin(LMWH)in elderly patients with coronary artery disease.Methods A total of 131 elderly patients with coronary artery disease,who received subcutaneous injection of LMWH after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)at the Affiliated Nanjing Hospital of Nanjing Medical University of China between January 2019 and December 2021,were enrolled in this study.According to whether the manual compression on the injection point was employed or not after the injection of LMWH,the patients were divided into the study group(n=67)and the control group(n=64).The operation process of subcutaneous injection of LMWH was carried out in accordance with the"Supervision Standard for Nursing Quality of Hypodermic Injection of Low Molecular Weight Heparin"which was included in the norms formulated by authors'hospital.For the patients of the study group,the injection point was manually pressed for 3-5 min after the injection of LMWH,the manually-used force was to press the skin down for 1cm deep.The incidence of subcutaneous bleeding was compared between the two groups.Results In the study group and the control group,the incidence of subcutaneous ecchymosis was 9.0%and 7.8%respectively,the incidence of subcutaneous hard tubercle was 4.5%and 1.6%respectively,the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant(both P＞0.05).The patient's age,gender,abdominal circumference and body mass index(BMI)carried no obvious correlation with the subcutaneous bleeding after LMWH injection(P＞0.05),while a statistically significant correlation existed between the abdominal wall fat thickness and the subcutaneous bleeding(P＜0.05),which could be used as an independent predictor for the occurrence of subcutaneous bleeding after LMWH injection.Conclusion No obvious correlation exists between the manual compression on injection point and the incidence of subcutaneous bleeding in elderly patients with coronary artery disease after subcutaneous injection of LMWH,therefore,no compression manipulation,used as a hemostatic measure,is required after subcutaneous injection of LMWH.The abdominal wall fat thickness is an independent predictor for subcutaneous bleeding after injection of LMWH.Standard operation procedures should be strictly followed so as to avoid the occurrence of subcutaneous bleeding after injection of LMWH.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:77-81)

Objective:To investigate the differences in terms of blood cerebrospinal fluid barrier immune surveillance injury by lead acetate and nano-lead sulfide exposure in order to provide basis for the study of their mechanism of nerve injury caused by exposure to lead and nano lead.Methods:In June 2015, forty-five SPF SD male rats were randomly divided into control group, lead acetate group (20 mg/kg) and nano-lead sulfide group (20 mg/kg), with 15 rats in each group. The rats were intragastric five times a week, for nine weeks. The numbers of CD4 + T lymphocytes in blood and cerebrospinal fluid were detected by flow cytometry. The levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in serum and cerebrospinal fluid were detected by ELISA. The expressions and distribution of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and CD4 + T lymphocytes in choroid plexus were detected by laser confocal fluorescence immunoassay. The mRNA expression levels of IL-4, IFN-γ and ICAM-1 in the choroid plexus were detected by real-time PCR. Results:Compared with the control group, the proportion of CD4 + T lymphocytes in blood of rats in lead acetate group was increased, the proportions of CD4 + T lymphocytes in cerebrospinal fluid of rats in lead acetate group and nano-lead sulfide group were increased, the contents of IL-4 and IFN-γ in serum of rats in lead acetate group and nano-lead sulfide group were increased, the content of IL-4 in cerebrospinal fluid of rats in lead acetate group and the contents of IL-4 and IFN-γ in cerebrospinal fluid of rats in nano-lead sulfide group were increased, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The fluorescence intensity of ICAM-1 and CD4 + T lymphocytes in choriochoroid plexus of rats in lead acetate group and nano-lead sulfide group were stronger than those in control group, and the fluorescence intensity of CD4 + T lymphocytes of rats in nano-lead sulfide group was weaker than that in lead acetate group. Compared with the control group, the mRNA expression levels of ICAM-1, IL-4 and IFN-γ in choriochoroids plexus of rats in lead acetate group and nano-lead sulfide group were increased, and the mRNA expression levels of ICAM-1 and IL-4 in nano-lead sulfide group were higher than those in lead acetate group, while the mRNA expression level of IFN-γ in nano-lead sulfide group was lower than that in lead acetate group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Exposure to lead and nano-lead sulfide can cause the increase of CD4 + T lymphocytes, IL-4, IFN-γ and ICAM-1, which may be related to the damage to the immune surveillance of the blood cerebrospinal fluid barrier. And there is a difference in the injury caused by lead and nano-lead sulfide exposure.

In recent years,the international drug control situation has become increasingly serious.According to the statistical data of the year 2021 from UNODC,in the past decade,the trafficking volume of traditional drug(such as methamphetamine,cannabis and cocaine)has continued to rise,new psychoactive substances(NPS)have emerged one after another,the drugs as well as their precursors and metabolites have become a new group of pollutants.They widely exist in environmental media such as water,air,sludge and soil,due to the manufacture and abuse of drugs,which endangers human and animal safety.Drug detection data from environmental samples can reflect the local drug use situation objectively,real-time,accurately and effectively,which is helpful to grasp the spatial distribution and time changes,monitor the development trends of drug abuse,assess the trend of drug abuse reasonably,and assist in combating related illegal and criminal activities through comprehensive data analysis.At present,sewage monitoring has become an important means of drug monitoring in countries around the world.Sewage testing can assess drug consumption in a place reasonably,and sewage network traceability technology can reduce the scope of regional investigation of drug manufacturing dens effectively,so as to combat accurately.Drug detection in the atmosphere,sludge and soil has been carried out in some foreign countries,but it has not been used as a long-term monitoring means.Long-term monitoring of drugs from the environment in a variety of ways not only helps to effectively update the drug situation in the region,but also to better understand local trends in drug use and identify new drugs of abuse.It will provide data support for more accurate monitoring and combating drug crimes in the future.This paper reviews the methods for detecting drugs and other related compounds in different environmental matrices including sewage,atmosphere and sludge in China and other countries,including the study on the sources and forms of related compounds in different environments,the preparation of different matrix samples and the quantitative analysis of drugs from environment,as well as the existing problems and shortcomings of various detection methods.Finally,the drug detection technology and comprehensive monitoring system in the environment are prospected.

Background Pesticide exposure may impact the reproductive health of women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, data on pesticide exposure levels in women undergoing ART in China are scarce, and current research on influencing factors is limited. Objective To evaluate the preconceptional pesticide exposure levels and identify potential determinants among women undergoing ART. Methods This study was designed as a cross-sectional survey and recruited 508 women undergoing ART from July 2017 to December 2018 at the fertility clinic of the International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Gas chromatography/liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine the metabolite concentrations of organophosphate pesticides (OPs), pyrethroid pesticides (PYRs), and neonicotinoid pesticides (NEOs) in urine. The sum of molar concentrations of the three pesticide classes (∑₂OPs, ∑₂PYRs, and ∑₂NEOs) were calculated. A questionnaire was used to collect demographic characteristics, dietary habits, and behavioral information. Multiple linear regression was employed to analyze the associations of demographic characteristics, dietary habits, and behavioral variables with the concentrations of pesticide metabolites in urine among the participants. Results The median creatinine-adjusted concentrations of ∑₂OPs, ∑₂PYRs, and ∑₂NEOs in this study were 419.77, 2.95, and 20.36 nmol·g⁻¹, respectively. The multiple linear regression results showed that the urinary concentration of ∑₂OPs was 42.88% higher in the participants with daily vegetable intake than in those who consumed vegetables ≤3 d per week (P<0.05), and the urinary concentration of ∑₂PYRs was 37.24% higher in the participants with daily fruit intake than in those who consumed fruits ≤3 d per week (P<0.01). Similarly, the urinary concentrations of ∑₂NEOs were 24.51% and 29.30% higher in the participants who consumed fruits daily and 4-6 d per week, respectively, than in those who consumed fruits ≤3 d per week (P<0.05). Besides, we also found that the urinary concentration of ∑₂PYRs was negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) in the participants (P<0.05). Furthermore, the urinary concentration of ∑₂NEOs was not only positively correlated with age (P<0.05), but also significantly associated with pet ownership and infertility causes among the participants. Specifically, the participants who continued to own pets after conception had a 30.11% higher urinary concentration of ∑₂NEOs than those who never owned pets (P<0.05), and the participants with infertility due to female factors had a 24.10% lower urinary concentration of ∑₂NEOs than those who received ART treatment for infertility caused by male factors (P<0.05). Conclusion The women undergoing ART in Shanghai are widely exposed to pesticides. Age, BMI, frequency of vegetable and fruit intake, pet ownership, and infertility causes may be related to the pesticide exposure levels in this population. However, more human data are needed to confirm these findings.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of aumolertinib combined with anlotinib on proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)cells.Methods CCK-8 assay,colony formation assay,and flow cytometry were used to assess the effect of different concentrations of aumolertinib or anlotinib on proliferation,survival,and apoptosis of PC-9 and HCC827 cells,and their synergistic effect was evaluated using the SynergyFinder model.In PC-9 and HCC827 cells treated with aumolertinib combined with anlotinib,the changes in cell invasion and migration abilities were assessed with Transwell assay,and the expressions of apoptosis-and invasion/migration-related proteins(Bax,Bcl-2,E-cadherin,vimentin,MMP2,and MMP9)and the key PI3K-Akt pathway proteins were detected using Western blotting.Results In PC-9 cells,the IC50 of aumolertinib and anlotinib was 1.701 μmol/L and 4.979 μmol/L,respectively,with a synergy score(ZIP)of 19.112;in HCC827 cells,their IC50 was 2.961 μmol/L and 7.934 μmol/L,respectively,with a ZIP of 12.325.Compared with aumolertinib and anlotinib used alone,their combined treatment more strongly inhibited the proliferation and survival,enhanced apoptosis and suppressed invasion and migration abilities of PC-9 and HCC827 cells.Western blotting showed that in both PC-9 and HCC827 cells,the combined treatment significantly upregulated the expressions of E-cadherin and Bax proteins,downregulated the expressions of Bcl-2,vimentin,MMP2,and MMP9 proteins,and reduced phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt.Conclusion Aumolertinib combined with anlotinib can effectively inhibit NSCLC cell proliferation by downregulating the PI3K-Akt pathway,suggesting a potentially new option for NSCLC treatment.

Objective To prepare curcumin-loaded(CUR)mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSN)modified by polydopamine(PDA),and study their pharmaceutical properties,drug release in vitro and antitumor activity in vitro.Methods Mesoporous silica nanoparticles were synthesized by template method and modified with PDA.The pharmaceutical properties of the nanoparticles were investigated.The responsive release of drug-loaded preparations at different pH was studied.The biocompatibility of the carrier and the inhibition rate of cell growth in vitro of the drug-loaded preparations were evaluated.The uptake of the drug-loaded preparations by tumor cells was examined.Results The particle size of MSN was uniform.After the PDA modification,the drug release rate of CUR@MSN-PDA was significantly dependent on pH.The results of biocompatibility experiments showed that,the cell survival rate was above 85％after co-cultured with MDA-MB-231 cells for 24 h.The results of in vitro tumor cell growth inhibition test showed that,the growth inhibition rate of CUR@MSN-PDA on tumor cells was significantly higher than that of CUR@MSN.The results of cell uptake showed that the fluorescent strength of CUR@MSN-PDA in the cell was significantly stronger than that of the CUR@MSN.Conclusion The nano-carrier constructed has significant pH response and enhanced anti-tumor activity,which can provide a theoretical basis for the drug delivery of CUR.

Malocclusion,identified by the World Health Organization(WHO)as one of three major oral diseases,profoundly impacts the dental-maxillofacial functions,facial esthetics,and long-term development of～260 million children in China.Beyond its physical manifestations,malocclusion also significantly influences the psycho-social well-being of these children.Timely intervention in malocclusion can foster an environment conducive to dental-maxillofacial development and substantially decrease the incidence of malocclusion or reduce the severity and complexity of malocclusion in the permanent dentition,by mitigating the negative impact of abnormal environmental influences on the growth.Early orthodontic treatment encompasses accurate identification and treatment of dental and maxillofacial morphological and functional abnormalities during various stages of dental-maxillofacial development,ranging from fetal stages to the early permanent dentition phase.From an economic and societal standpoint,the urgency for effective early orthodontic treatments for malocclusions in childhood cannot be overstated,underlining its profound practical and social importance.This consensus paper discusses the characteristics and the detrimental effects of malocclusion in children,emphasizing critical need for early treatment.It elaborates on corresponding core principles and fundamental approaches in early orthodontics,proposing comprehensive guidance for preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment,serving as a reference for clinicians engaged in early orthodontic treatment.
