Objective To understand the driver gene mutation status in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Xi'an City, and to analyze the association with environmental exposure factors. Methods A total of 305 NSCLC patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University from January 2019 to December 2023 were included. The driver gene mutation status was observed, and the relationship with environmental exposure factors was analyzed. Results The driver gene mutation rate of 305 patients was 46.89%, with EGFR gene mutation accounting for the highest proportion, and 4 cases of gene co-mutations were detected. There was a difference in gender among patients with different single drive gene mutations (P<0.05), and the proportion of EGFR in women was significantly higher (P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in family history, smoking history, long-term cooking history, and fried smoked food intake between patients with driver gene mutation and patients without driver gene mutation (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis suggested that long-term cooking history (OR=2.392), and fried smoked food intake (OR=2.849) were the environmental exposure factors affecting EGFR gene mutation (P<0.05), and smoking history (OR=1.377) was an environmental exposure factor of KRAS gene mutation (P<0.05). Conclusion EGFR gene mutation accounts for the highest proportion of NSCLC patients in Xi'an City, and is mainly female. Long-term cooking history, and fried smoked food intake are related to EGFR gene mutation. There is a certain association between smoking history and KRAS gene mutation.

The innate immune system can be boosted in response to subsequent triggers by pre-exposure to microbes or microbial products, known as “trained immunity”. Compared to classical immune memory, innate trained immunity has several different features. Firstly, the molecules involved in trained immunity differ from those involved in classical immune memory. Innate trained immunity mainly involves innate immune cells (e.g., myeloid immune cells, natural killer cells, innate lymphoid cells) and their effector molecules (e.g., pattern recognition receptor (PRR), various cytokines), as well as some kinds of non-immune cells (e.g., microglial cells). Secondly, the increased responsiveness to secondary stimuli during innate trained immunity is not specific to a particular pathogen, but influences epigenetic reprogramming in the cell through signaling pathways, leading to the sustained changes in genes transcriptional process, which ultimately affects cellular physiology without permanent genetic changes (e.g., mutations or recombination). Finally, innate trained immunity relies on an altered functional state of innate immune cells that could persist for weeks to months after initial stimulus removal. An appropriate inducer could induce trained immunity in innate lymphocytes, such as exogenous stimulants (including vaccines) and endogenous stimulants, which was firstly discovered in bone marrow derived immune cells. However, mature bone marrow derived immune cells are short-lived cells, that may not be able to transmit memory phenotypes to their offspring and provide long-term protection. Therefore, trained immunity is more likely to be relied on long-lived cells, such as epithelial stem cells, mesenchymal stromal cells and non-immune cells such as fibroblasts. Epigenetic reprogramming is one of the key molecular mechanisms that induces trained immunity, including DNA modifications, non-coding RNAs, histone modifications and chromatin remodeling. In addition to epigenetic reprogramming, different cellular metabolic pathways are involved in the regulation of innate trained immunity, including aerobic glycolysis, glutamine catabolism, cholesterol metabolism and fatty acid synthesis, through a series of intracellular cascade responses triggered by the recognition of PRR specific ligands. In the view of evolutionary, trained immunity is beneficial in enhancing protection against secondary infections with an induction in the evolutionary protective process against infections. Therefore, innate trained immunity plays an important role in therapy against diseases such as tumors and infections, which has signature therapeutic effects in these diseases. In organ transplantation, trained immunity has been associated with acute rejection, which prolongs the survival of allografts. However, trained immunity is not always protective but pathological in some cases, and dysregulated trained immunity contributes to the development of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Trained immunity provides a novel form of immune memory, but when inappropriately activated, may lead to an attack on tissues, causing autoinflammation. In autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis, trained immunity may lead to enhance inflammation and tissue lesion in diseased regions. In Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, trained immunity may lead to over-activation of microglial cells, triggering neuroinflammation even nerve injury. This paper summarizes the basis and mechanisms of innate trained immunity, including the different cell types involved, the impacts on diseases and the effects as a therapeutic strategy to provide novel ideas for different diseases.

Objective To analyze the pollution characteristics of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in atmospheric PM2.5 in Yanta District and Lianhu District of Xi'an City, and assess their health risks to exposed populations through inhalation pathways. Methods From 2020 to 2022, monitoring sites were set up in Yanta District and Lianhu District of Xi'an City, and PM2.5 samples were collected regularly every month. The mass concentrations of PAHs were determined. The analysis and evaluation were carried out according to different years, regions, and seasons. The sources of PAHs in the atmosphere were identified by calculating characteristic ratios. Health risk assessments through inhalation routes were conducted for certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their total carcinogenic equivalent concentrations. Results The average mass concentrations of PAHs in Yanta District and Lianhu District were 6.38 ng/m3 and 6.06 ng/m3, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Except for fluoranthene, there was no statistically significant difference in other PAHs between regions (P>0.05). Except for acenaphthylene and anthracene, the concentrations of other PAHs showed a decreasing trend year by year (P<0.05). The total mass concentration of PAHs in both urban areas showed a trend of winter>spring>autumn>summer (P<0.05), and all categories of PAHs showed the highest levels in winter and the lowest levels in summer (P<0.05). The proportion of 5-ring PAHs was the highest in summer, while the proportion of 4-ring PAHs was the highest in winter. The main sources of atmospheric PAHs in the two districts were a mixture of coal combustion, motor vehicle emissions, and biomass burning. The HQ values of benzo[a]pyrene and TEQs in both districts were less than 1. The carcinogenic risk through inhalation pathways for TEQs was 1.15×10-6, exceeding the acceptable level (1×10-6). Conclusion The pollution of PAHs in Yanta District and Lianhu District of Xi'an City continues to decrease, with seasonal differences. The main sources are mixed sources of coal combustion, motor vehicle emissions, and biomass burning, and overall PAHs pose a potential carcinogenic risk to residents.

ObjectiveTo explore the main mechanism of self-precipitation formed during the decoction of Sinitang(SNT), and to provide a research basis for exploring the differences in the toxic and effective components of this compound. MethodsThe average precipitation yields of SNT, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma(GRR)-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata(ALRP) decoction(GF), ALRP-Zingiberis Rhizoma(ZR) decoction(FJ), GRR-ZR decoction(GJD), ALRP decoction(FZ), ZR decoction(GJ) and GRR decoction(GC) were determined. The four main self-precipitation samples of SNT, GF, FZ and GC were physically characterized by particle size, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), pH, total dissolved solids(TDS), conductivity, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) analysis. The chemical compositions of SNT decoction and its different phases was identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS) for SNT, SNT self-precipitation and SNT supernatant, and the contents of its main toxic and effective components were determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). ResultsPrecipitation yield results of the 7 samples of SNT decoction and single decoction showed that SNT had the highest self-precipitation yield. The formation of SNT self-precipitation was mainly related to the reaction between ALRP and GRR components to form complexes, and FT-IR showed that GRR had the greatest influence on the formation of self-precipitation. A total of 110 components were identified in the SNT decoction, including 100 components in the SNT self-precipitation and 106 components in the SNT supernatant. And quantitative results of the main toxic and effective components revealed that the reaction between ALRP and GRR components formed complexes, resulting in the following content hierarchy for free components:SNT decoctionsupernatantself-precipitation, these components included free liquiritin, benzoylmesaconine, benzoylaconitine, benzoylhypacoitine, liquiritigenin, aconitine, hypoaconitine, isoliquiritigenin and ammonium glycyrrhizinate. ConclusionSNT exhibits spontaneous precipitation during compound decoction, with GRR exerting the greatest influence on its formation. This suggests GRR plays a significant role in the detoxification of SNT. The differences in the self-precipitated toxic-effective components of SNT compound decoction primarily manifest as changes in component content, reflecting the characteristics of SNT "deposition in vitro and sustained release in vivo" and the importance of "administered at draught" in the clinical application of SNT.

Objective:To assess the correlation and consistency between the cancer risk-oriented endoscopic Kimura-Takemoto classification and the operative link for gastritis assessment (OLGA) in risk stratification of gastric cancer in patients with chronic gastritis after Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) eradication. Methods:From January 1, 2018 to October 31, 2021, 97 patients with chronic gastritis who successfully underwent H. pylori eradication at Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected. During the follow-up period, all patients underwent standardized magnifying endoscopy to assess gastric mucosal atrophy with the Kimura-Takemoto classification, which was classified as no or mild atrophy, moderate atrophy, and severe atrophy. Additionally, according to the new Sydney staging system, endoscopic biopsies were conducted at 5 sites of the patients to classify into OLGA stages 0, Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, or Ⅳ. Spearman rank correlation analysis and Kappa consistency test were performed to evaluate the correlation and consistency between the 2 evaluation systems, respectively. Area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to calculate the predictive ability of the grading of gastric mucosal atrophy under endoscopy in high-risk histological staging. Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors influencing the consistency of the 2 evaluation systems. Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Longitudinal follow-up was completed in 97 cases, with a follow-up time of (37.38±13.18) months after H. pylori eradication. The proportion of OLGA stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ in patients with no or mild atrophy (21.7%, 10/46) was lower than that in patients with moderate and severe atrophy (63.0%, 29/46 and 5/5, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant( χ2=16.07 and 13.30, both P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in distribution of OLGA staging between patients with moderate atrophy and patients with severe atrophy (all P>0.05). The consistency rate of high-risk assessment for gastric cancer between the 2 evaluation systems was 73.2% (71/97). The correlation between the Kimura-Takemoto classification and OLGA staging was moderate ( r=0.47, 95% confidence interval(95% CI) 0.30 to 0.61, P<0.001). The result of consistency test indicated that the consistency of the 2 evaluation systems was moderate, and the Kappa value was 0.46 (95% CI 0.29 to 0.64, P<0.001). For patients with chronic gastritis after H. pylori eradication, the sensitivity of Kimura-Takemoto classification of moderate to severe atrophy under endoscopy in identifying high-risk of OLGA stages was 77.21% (95% CI 62.16% to 88.53%), the specificity was 69.81% (95% CI 55.66% to 81.66%), and the AUC was 0.735 (95% CI 0.636 to 0.820, P<0.01). As the time after H. pylori eradication increased (post- H. pylori eradication less than 18, 18 to 36, and more than 36 months), the consistency of atrophy assessment between the Kimura-Takemoto classification and OLGA staging reduced (7/8, 84.4% (27/32), 64.9% (37/57), respectively), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.36, P=0.037). The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the time after H. pylori eradication more than 36 months ( OR=3.443, 95% CI 1.117 to 10.614, P=0.031) and gastric ulcer ( OR=3.928, 95% CI 1.177 to 13.110, P=0.026) were independent factors influencing the consistency between the Kimura-Takemoto classification and OLGA staging. Conclusions:The endoscopic and histological changes of chronic gastritis after eradication of H. pylori are consistent. Within short period after H. pylori eradication (no more than 36 months), the sensitivity of high-risk classification under endoscopy is high and the specificity is moderate, which can predict high-risk histological staging to a certain degree.
