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 explore the clinical efficacy of low molecular weight heparin combined with insulin in the treatment of hyper-triglyceridemic-acute pancreatitis(HTG-AP).Methods A total of 106 patients diagnosed with HTG-AP who were admitted to the department of gastroenterology of Huaibei People's Hospital from May 2022 to July 2023 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table method,the low-molecular heparin group(35 cases,received a 5 000 U subcutaneous injection low-molecular heparin once every 12 hours for 6 days),the insulin group(35 cases,received intravenous insulin pumping at a rate of 2 U/h,with careful monitoring of the patient's random blood glucose levels to prevent hypoglycemia),and the combination therapy group(36 cases,received both low-molecular heparin and insulin).Before treatment and at 1,2,and 6 days after treatment,the difference of serum triacylglycerol(TG),total cholesterol(TC),blood amylase,inflammatory factors[C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6)],calcium ions,and creatinine levels among the three groups were compared.The modified computed tomography severity index(MCTSI)scores,acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ),hospital length of stay,and hospital costs before and after 6 days of treatment were observed.Results After treatment,the TC of all three groups significantly decreased compared to before treatment(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference among the three groups.The calcium ion levels of the three groups did not show a statistically significant difference before and after treatment.After 6 days of treatment,the creatinine levels of the three groups significantly decreased compared to before treatment,but there was no significant difference among the three groups.After 2 days of treatment,serum TG levels were significantly lower in the combination therapy group and insulin group compared to the low-molecular heparin group(mmol/L:4.6±1.7,4.4±1.8 vs.5.6±2.0,both P<0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference between the combination therapy group and the insulin group.After 6 days of treatment,the combination therapy group showed significantly lower levels of serum TG,blood amylase,CRP,and IL-6 compared to the insulin group and the low-molecular heparin group[TG(mmol/L):2.8±1.9 vs.4.3±1.9,5.0±2.2,blood amylase(U/L):36.0(32.0,45.0)vs.59.0(43.0,71.0),52.0(45.0,64.0),CRP(mg/L):12.9(8.8,29.7)vs.35.3(21.7,50.3),31.4(23.0,45.1),IL-6(ng/L):15.4(9.8,23.5)vs.25.6(16.4,51.5),32.9(14.7,41.4),all P<0.05].After 6 days of treatment,the APACHEⅡscores of all three groups decreased significantly(all P<0.05).The MCTSI scores of the insulin group and the combined treatment group also decreased significantly compared to before treatment.Furthermore,the MCTSI and APACHEⅡscores of the combination therapy group were significantly lower than those of the low-molecular heparin group and the insulin group(MCTSI score:2.3±0.7 vs.3.3±1.7,2.9±1.3,APACHEⅡscore:1.3±1.2 vs.2.5±2.4,2.6±2.5,all P<0.05).The combination therapy group had significantly lower length of hospital stay and treatment cost compared to the low molecular heparin and insulin groups[length of hospital stay(days):6.9±1.6 vs.8.8±3.4,8.5±2.8,and cost of treatment(yuan):6 040.5(5 239.4,7 105.9)vs.6 696.4(5 791.5,11 026.2),6 918.5(6 087.9,10 080.8),all P<0.05].Conclusions The combination of low-molecular heparin and insulin treatment can significantly reduce serum TG and inflammatory factor levels,as well as the severity and duration of the disease.This approach can also reduce the cost of treatment.Therefore,it is worth promoting and applying in clinical settings.

Objective To observe the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT semi-quantitative parameters for predicting spread through air spaces(STAS)of clinical stage Ⅰa—Ⅲa lung adenocarcinoma.Methods Data of 85 patients with clinical stage Ⅰa—Ⅲ a lung adenocarcinoma who underwent preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into positive group(n=23)or negative group(n=62)according to whether pathology showed STAS or not.Clinical and PET/CT data were compared between groups,and logistic analysis was performed to explore the efficacy of each parameter for predicting STAS.Results Significant differences of gender,carcinoma embryonic antigen,clinical stage,pathological grade,micropapillary growth and proportion were found between groups(all P＜0.05).The maximum,the mean,the peak standard uptake value(SUVmax,SUVmean,SUVpeak),as well as the maximum,the mean and the peak standard uptake value normalized by lean body mass(SULmax,SULmean,SULpeak),also the total lesion glycolysis(TLG)in positive group were all significantly higher than those in negative group(all P＜0.05).Patients'gender,proportion of micropapillary growth,SUVmax and SULmax were all independent risk factors of STAS of clinical stage Ⅰa—Ⅲa lung adenocarcinoma.The area under the curve(AUC)of the above parameters for predicting STAS was 0.666,0.912,0.839 and 0.842,respectively,and of the combination was 0.957.Conclusion 18 F-FDG PET/CT semi-quantitative parameters SUVmax and SULmax were helpful for predicting STAS of clinical stage Ⅰa—Ⅲ a lung adenocarcinoma,and further combination of gender and proportion of micropapillary growth could improve diagnostic efficacy.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of hospitalized premenopausal patients with hyperuricemia.Methods:The medical records of premenopausal women with hyperuricemia (serum uric acid ≥360 μmol/L during hospitalization) admitted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2013 to 2018 were reviewed and the clinical data were analyzed.Results:A total of 2 099 patients were enrolled. Only 14.01% (294 cases) of the patients were concerned about hyperuricemia by physicians. Autoimmune diseases (32.11%, 674 cases), nephrotic disease (19.29%, 405 cases) and endocrine system diseases (9.72%, 204 cases) are the main reasons for hospitalization, while 6.34%(133 cases) of patients were in gestation. In terms of the etiology, renal diseases (49.35%, 1 035 cases), specific drug use (49.26%, 1 034 cases) were the main causes of secondary hyperuricemia in premenopausal women, followed by metabolic diseases (10.62%, 233 cases). There was no significant difference in serum uric acid level among premenopausal women of different ages ( H=4.47, P=0.107), but the etiology of hyperuricemia among patients of different ages had significant differences. The proportion of hyperuricemia in patients with cancer and metabolic syndrome,secondary to use of diuretics and anti-tuberculosis drugs had differences among different age groups ( χ2=90.96,52.89,19.26 and 6.41, P<0.05). Conclusion:Hyperuricemia is not uncommon in premenopausal women. There are many secondary factors leading to hyperuricemia in premenopausal women, among which drugs and renal lesions are the main causes. In addition, the secondary factors in women with hyperuricemia has differences among different age groups.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the surgical technique and effectiveness of titanium elastic nail (TEN) assisted retrograde channel screw implantation of superior pubic branch. METHODS: The clinical data of 31 patients with pelvic or acetabular fractures treated with retrograde channel screw implantation in superior pubic branch between January 2021 and April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 16 cases were implanted with assistance of TEN (study group) and 15 cases were implanted under the guidance of C-arm X-ray machine (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, Tile classification of pelvic fracture, Judet-Letournal classification of acetabular fracture, and time from injury to operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, fluoroscopy times, and intraoperative blood loss of each superior pubic branch retrograde channel screw were recorded during operation. X-ray films and three-dimensional CT were reexamined after operation, the quality of fracture reduction was evaluated by Matta score standard, and the position of channel screw was evaluated by screw position classification standard. The fracture healing time was recorded during the follow-up, and the postoperative functional recovery was evaluated by Merle D'Aubigne Postel score system at last follow-up. RESULTS: Nineteen and 20 retrograde channel screws of superior pubic branch were implanted in the study group and the control group, respectively. The operation time, fluoroscopy times, and intraoperative blood loss of each screw in the study group were significantly less than those in the control group ( P<0.05). According to the postoperative X-ray films and three-dimensional CT, none of the 19 screws in the study group penetrated out of the cortical bone or into the joint, and the excellent and good rate was 100% (19/19); in the control group, there were 4 screws of cortical bone penetration, and the excellent and good rate was 80% (16/20); the difference between the two groups was significant ( P<0.05). Matta score standard was used to evaluate the quality of fracture reduction, there was no patient in the two groups with poor reduction results, and the difference was not significant between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incisions of the two groups healed by first intention, and there was no complication such as incision infection, skin margin necrosis, and deep infection. All patients were followed up 8-22 months, with an average of 14.7 months. There was no significant difference in healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the difference in functional recovery evaluated by the Merle D'Aubigne Postel scoring system between the two groups was not significant ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION TEN assisted implantation technique can significantly shorten the operation time of retrograde channel screw implantation of superior pubic branch, reduce the times of fluoroscopy, and have less intraoperative blood loss and accurate screw implantation, which provides a new safe and reliable method for minimally invasive treatment of pelvic and acetabular fractures.

Molecular knowledge of human gastric corpus epithelium remains incomplete. Here, by integrated analyses using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and single-cell assay for transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) techniques, we uncovered the spatially resolved expression landscape and gene-regulatory network of human gastric corpus epithelium. Specifically, we identified a stem/progenitor cell population in the isthmus of human gastric corpus, where EGF and WNT signaling pathways were activated. Meanwhile, LGR4, but not LGR5, was responsible for the activation of WNT signaling pathway. Importantly, FABP5 and NME1 were identified and validated as crucial for both normal gastric stem/progenitor cells and gastric cancer cells. Finally, we explored the epigenetic regulation of critical genes for gastric corpus epithelium at chromatin state level, and identified several important cell-type-specific transcription factors. In summary, our work provides novel insights to systematically understand the cellular diversity and homeostasis of human gastric corpus epithelium in vivo.
