Erdheim-Chester disease with asymmetric talus involvement: A case report

BACKGROUND Erdheim-Chester disease(ECD) is a rare multi-system or multi-organ histiocytic proliferative disease with diverse clinical manifestations, and the development of the disease is complex, which makes clinical diagnosis and treatment difficult.The characteristic clinical manifestations include multi-organ involvement,especially in the symmetrical diaphysis and metaphysis of the bilateral extremities. ECD with a unilateral talus lesion is extremely rare. Here, we report an unusual case of ECD invading the asymmetric talus and tibia without involving other organs. The patient had good outcome after surgery.CASE SUMMARY We report a case of a 67-year-old man who was referred to our outpatient department because of left ankle chronic pain for 5 years, which exacerbated after a foot sprain 6 mo previously. We discovered multiple sclerotic lesions of the tibia and talus on his previous X-ray films, which were initially missed in a local hospital. Therefore, enhanced computer computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. These examinations showed multiple lesions in the bone marrow cavity of the left tibia, and cortical sclerosis and osteonecrosis of the left talus. Specimens were collected via bone puncture from the two lesions, and a final diagnosis of ECD was confirmed by pathological and immunohistochemical examinations. In addition, other auxiliary examinations including head CT, pulmonary CT, spinal CT, abdominal CT,cardiac ultrasound and thyroid ultrasound showed no obvious abnormalities.The patient underwent surgery for the tibia lesion scraping and talus lesion scraping combined with cement casting. The patient started on a progressive rehabilitation at 4 wk, and felt no pain after surgery. During a 2-year follow-up period, the patient exercised normally without pain, and there were no signs of recurrence.CONCLUSION This study shows that surgery treatment may also achieve good results for ECD patients with only bone involvement.     

基于网络药理学和分子对接技术探究槐花散治疗溃疡性结肠炎的作用机制＊

目的 该研究采用网络药理学和分子对接的研究方法结合体内实验探讨槐花散治疗溃疡性结肠炎（ulcerative colitis， UC）的主要化合物和靶点，并分析其作用机制。方法 利用多个数据库筛选药物活性成分、药物靶点和UC疾病基因，并进行拓扑分析，构建“化合物-药物靶点-疾病基因”关系网络。利用DAVID在线分析工具对候选靶点进行基因本体（Gene ontology， GO）功能和生物通路（KEGG）富集分析。通过SYBYL X2.0软件进行分子对接，获取总评分、共识评分和结合位点。利用硫酸葡聚糖钠盐（dextran sodium sulfate，DSS）建立UC小鼠模型，槐花散干预后，评估疾病活动指数和结肠病理，RT-qPCR检测白介素6（IL-6）、白介素17（IL-17）mRNA表达水平，Western Blot检测IL-6、IL-17蛋白表达水平。结果 槐花散中有20个化合物对应375个靶点对121个UC疾病基因产生影响。对72个关键靶点作GO功能分析筛选得303个GO条目，其中生物过程相关的条目223条，细胞组成相关的条目25条，分子功能相关的条目55条。KEGG富集分析筛选得到88条通路。分子对接结果显示关键靶点与对应的化合物有较好的结合活性。体内实验显示，槐花散可以改善UC小鼠DAI评分，下调IL-6、IL-17的表达，减轻结肠组织病理损伤。结论 槐花散治疗UC具有多成分、多靶点、多通路的特点，为槐花散治疗UC的进一步研究提供了理论依据。     

新型冠状病毒肺炎合并急性脑梗死一例

新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)为2019新型冠状病毒所致,其起病隐匿,潜伏期较长,具有高度传染性的特点。新型冠状病毒除了可累及呼吸系统,还可累及其他系统,如心脏、肾脏、消化道,并且可合并多个系统疾病,如急性脑血管病等,如果在接诊患者时不引起高度重视、做好防护,极易造成医护人员的感染。文中总结1例起病隐匿的COVID-19患者合并脑梗死症状,在行静脉溶栓治疗后造成1名医务人员感染的临床体会,探讨其临床特点、治疗经过并对其防控环节进行分析,以帮助疫情防控中首诊医生注意识别、减少漏诊、科学排查以减少职业感染。     

运动发育评估在儿童早期发展中的应用

生长发育监测是儿童早期发展的重要工作组成。运动发育评估作为儿童生长发育监测的基本内容值得重视。儿童运动发育监测是依据小儿运动发育的里程碑,结合反射、肌张力、姿势及运动模式,采用询问、观察和检查等手段结合评估量表,综合判断儿童运动发育水平,识别是否存在落后与异常,给予早期干预和康复。本文从综合性发育量表、婴儿期识别性神经运动发育量表、儿童期专项运动发育量表及脑瘫儿童适用的运动量表等方面介绍了目前儿童运动评估状况。     

Melatonin safeguards against fatty liver by antagonizing TRAFs‐mediated ASK1 deubiquitination and stabilization in a β‐arrestin‐1 dependent manner

Melatonin has been previously shown to prevent nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we identified a previously unknown regulatory action of melatonin on apoptosis signal‐regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) signaling pathway in the pathogenesis and development of NAFLD. Although melatonin administration did not alter food intake, it significantly alleviated fatty liver phenotypes, including the body weight gain, insulin resistance, hepatic lipid accumulation, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis in a high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced NAFLD mouse model (in vivo). The protection of melatonin against NAFLD was not affected by inactivation of Kupffer cell in this model. In NAFLD mice liver, ASK1 signal cascade was substantially activated, evidence by the enhancement of total ASK1, phospho‐ASK1, phospho‐MKK3/6, phospho‐p38, phospho‐MKK4/7, and phospho‐JNK. Melatonin treatment significantly suppressed the ASK1 upregulation and the phosphorylation of ASK1, MKK3/6, MKK4/7, p38, and JNK. Mechanistically, we found that lipid stress triggered the interaction between ASK1 and TNF receptor‐associated factors (TRAFs), including TRAF1, TRAF2, and TRAF6, which resulted in ASK1 deubiquitination and thereby increased ASK1 protein stability. Melatonin did not alter ASK1 mRNA level; however, it activated a scaffold protein β‐arrestin‐1 and enabled it to bind to ASK1, which antagonized the TRAFs‐mediated ASK1 deubiquitination, and thus reduced ASK1 protein stability. Consistent with these findings, knockout of β‐arrestin‐1 in mice partly abolished the protection of melatonin against NAFLD. Taken together, our results for the first time demonstrate that melatonin safeguards against NAFLD by eliminating ASK1 activation via inhibiting TRAFs‐mediated ASK1 deubiquitination and stabilization in a β‐arrestin‐1 dependent manner.     

基于三相桥臂坐标的SVPWM过调制方法

讨论了一种新型的SVPWM过调制方法，并对其过调制性能及谐波成分进行了分析。首先，对经典SVPWM技术进行了分析，探讨了常规过调制策略的实质。其次，引入了新的三相桥臂坐标，在该坐标下将现有的SVPWM的串行合成时间关系推导为并行。最后，给出了线性调制和过调制统一的求解模型，避免了现有过调制算法中控制角和保持角的计算。新方法取消了扇区的概念并简化了计算，可实现从线性调制到六阶梯模式的连续平滑调制。文中介绍了该过调制算法的基本原理，进行了仿真和实验。结果表明，该方法在线性调制和六阶梯模式下调制效果与经典SVPWM方法相当；而过调制区，其输出PWM波形的THD明显小于常规过调制方法。
