Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle and $D, E, F$ are the midpoints of $BC, CA, AB$, respectively. The circle with diameter $AD$ intersects the lines $AB$ and $AC$ at points $P$ and $Q$ , respectively. The lines through $P$ and $Q$ parallel to $BC$ intersect $DE$ at point $R$ and $DF$ at point $S$, respectively. The circumcircle of $DPR$ intersects $AB$ at $X$, the circumcircle of $DQS$ intersects $AC$ in $Y$, and these two circles intersect again point $Z$. Prove that $Z$ is the midpoint of $XY$.
