Objective　To identify the clinical characteristics of a case of abdominal multiple cystic echinococcosis in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, and to characterize the molecular biology of pathogen, in order to provide a basis for control and prevention of echinococcosis. Methods　Clinical and epidemiological data of 1 case of echinococcosis in Shenzhen City in January 2024 were collected. The pathological sections of the cyst tissue removed by surgery were examined by microscopy after staining. Nucleic acids were extracted from cyst tissue samples, and the ND1 and Cox1 gene sequences were amplified and sequenced by PCR. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic tree analysis were performed using Mega X, BLAST and other software. Results　The patient, male, 29 years old, a resident of Nyerong County, Nagqu City, Xizang Autonomous Region, had a history of exposure to domestic dogs and hepatic echinococcosis. Imaging showed abdominal multiple placeholder, consider echinococcosis recurrence; 12 pieces of cystic lesions from different parts of the abdominal cavity were surgically removed, and the pathological sections of cystic tissues showed cuticle layer, germinal layer, protoscolex of echinococcosis. PCR amplification of the specific genes ND1 and Cox1 were positive, and the amplified fragments were about 510 bp and 285 bp, respectively. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic tree analysis results showed that the homology between the sequences in this study and the ND1 gene of Echinococcus granulosus type G1 (JX217890.1, Qinghai), and Cox1 gene (MH050610.1, Xizang) in the GenBank database was 99%. It is closely related to the epidemic strains of Echinococcus granulosus in Xizang, Qinghai and Xinjiang in the phylogenetic tree, and is in the same evolutionary branch (type G1). Conclusion　The patient was an imported case of abdominal multiple cystic echinococcosis, and the genotype was G1, with a high probability that the infection originated in Xizang. It is recommended to enhance the surveillance and management of echinococcosis in non-endemic areas, and to strengthen the inspection and quarantine of livestock and agricultural by-products imported from endemic areas to prevent the spread of echinococcosis.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a salivary gland malignant tumor which mainly occurs in the head, neck and the mammary gland, and is characterized with easy invasion of peripheral nerves, local easy recurrence after resection and painless distant metastasis. The treatment of ACC is usually based on surgical resection combined with postoperative radiotherapy. Patients with advanced disease usually cannot be cured, so far there is no ideal treatment regimen. Some studies have suggested that some targeted drugs show advantages in ACC patients who are insensitive or resistant to conventional therapy. This paper summarizes the research progress of molecular targeted therapy for ACC of salivary gland in order to provide new treatment options for ACC patients especially for those at advanced stage.

Minimally degenerative nephropathy is one of the common types of primary nephrotic syndrome, and it is currently believed that B lymphocytes are closely related to its pathogenesis. Patients with refractory small degenerative kidney disease require treatment with glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressant. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that consumes B cells. Its use in the treatment of patients with refractory microdegenerative kidney disease can reduce recurrence rate, prolong remission period, and reduce hormone exposure. However, there is no consensus on the treatment plan and adverse reaction response measures, and multicenter, prospective, and large-scale research answers are still needed. This article summarizes the latest progress of rituximab in the treatment of refractory minimal degenerative kidney disease, hoping to provide assistance for the development of clinical treatment strategies.

Guided bone regeneration technology applied in alveolar bone defect regeneration is based on the barrier function and space maintenance of the barrier membrane. Therefore, traditional development strategies for barrier membranes focus on their physical barrier function, degradation characteristics and biocompatibility to avoid immunogenicity. However, not only does the barrier membrane passively block connective tissue, it is recognized as a “foreign body”that triggers a persistent host immune response, known as a foreign body reaction. The theories of osteoimmunology reveal a close relationship between the immune system and bone system and emphasize the role of immune cells in bone tissue-related pathophysiological processes. Based on these findings, we propose a novel development strategy for barrier membranes based on immune microenvironment regulation: by manipulating mechanical properties, surface properties and physiochemical properties, barrier membranes are endowed with an improved immunomodulation ability, which helps to regulate immune cell reactions to induce a favorable local immune microenvironment, thus coordinating osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis as well as barrier membrane degradation to increase the efficiency of barrier membranes in GBR applications. In this paper, we review the development of barrier membranes and their close relationship to the immune microenvironment concerning bone regeneration and membrane degradation. Additionally, the outcomes of research on barrier membranes based on the regulation of the immune microenvironment have been summarized to improve the osteogenesis efficiency of barrier membranes and solve the problem of the regeneration and repair of bone defects, especially alveolar bone defects.
