Objective To explore the change of monocyte chemotactic factor-1 protein(MCP-1)and matrix metalloproteinase-9( MMP-9)of patients with coronary artery disease( CAD)following percutaneous coronary interventional( PCI). Methods Fifty patients underwent PCI procedures for CAD compromising a single coronary artery were selected as PCI group and 30 healthy individuals with normal findings by coronary angiography were selected as the control group. Plasma MCP-1 and MMP-9 were measured in all the subjects. Results The plasma MCP-1 level of patients with CAD after PCI was(19. 87 ± 5. 31)ng/ L,higher than that before operation((15. 71 ± 5. 23)ng/ L,t = 3. 95,P < 0. 01). Whereas in the control group,the MCP-1 level after coronary angiography was(13. 78 ± 5. 58)ng/ L,which was as same as that before operation (12. 42 ± 5. 39 ng/ L,P = 0. 34). Plasma MMP-9 level in the CAD patients after PCI procedures was(22. 69 ± 5. 97)mg/ L,higher than that before operation((19. 52 ± 5. 72)mg/ L,t = 2. 71,P < 0. 01). There was no significant difference in term of plasma MMP-9 level in control group befor and after operation((17. 53 ± 5. 51) mg/ L vs.(16. 69 ± 5. 42)mg/ L,P = 0. 55). Conclusion Plasma MCP-1 and MMP-9 increase in CAD patients following PCI procedures. But their roles in the vascular restenosis following the procedures need further investigation.

Objective To comprehensively analyze the effectiveness of exercise training-based respiratory rehabilitation therapy on patients with occupational pneumoconiosis (hereinafter referred to as "pneumoconiosis"). MethodsLiterature on randomized controlled trials of exercise training-based respiratory rehabilitation therapy for pneumoconiosis patients published from the establishment of the database to July 2023 was retrieved from academic systems such as the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Database, and China Biology Medicine using bibliometrics method. The RevMan 5.4 software was used for meta-analysis of the selected literatures. Subgroup analysis was conducted to explore the source of study heterogeneity. The funnel plot method was used to test publication bias. Results A total of 55 articles were included, involving 2 436 pneumoconiosis patients in the experimental group and 2 405 pneumoconiosis patients in the control group. The result of random or fixed effect model showed that the six minutes walking distance, the total score of Short from Health Survey-36, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV₁), FEV₁/FVC, arterial partial pressure of oxygen of pneumoconiosis patients increased after respiratory rehabilitation therapy (all P<0.05), while the total score of the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide decreased compared with the conventional treatment (all P<0.05). The result of subgroup analysis showed that the total score of the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire, FEV₁, and the index of arterial partial pressure of oxygen of pneumoconiosis patients was better in the rehabilitation treatment for ≥six months compared with those

In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have greatly improved the survival rate of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients without driver mutation. Compared with wild-type tumors, tumors with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations have greater heterogeneity in immune microenvironment characteristics such as programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and tumor mutational burden (TMB). Whether ICIs is suitable for NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation has been controversial. Clinical studies have shown that immunomonotherapy has no significant effect on patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC. ICIs combined with chemotherapy and antiangiogenic drugs show good survival benefits. This paper overviews the clinical research and related mechanism of ICIs single drug or combination therapy inadvanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation.

The management of surplus drugs is an important part of drug administration. At present, China′s medical institutions are in the initial exploration stage in managing surplus drugs.This study analyzed the causes, safety hazards, management policies, and management problems of surplus drugs in medical institutions, and proposed targeted countermeasures and suggestions, including establishing unified and standardized management methods, consensus or guidelines, optimizing internal management of medical institutions, improving the management awareness of medical staff, and clarifying the benefits of surplus drugs, so as to provide references for medical institutions to manage surplus drugs reasonably.

To standardize the management of surplus drugs, improve the efficiency of medical resource utilization, promote the rational use of medical insurance funds, and reduce the financial burden on patients, a large tertiary hospital implemented a practice for managing surplus drugs starting in May 2023. This practice encompassed multiple aspects, including the establishment of organizational structure, clarification of responsibilities, formulation of billing for fractional doses and a reasonable surplus drugs list, establishment of standardized management processes, and allocation of special funds for surplus drugs. These efforts had initially achieved effective management of surplus drugs. As of November 2023, the management of surplus drugs had benefited 136 908 patients, with an average savings of 873.61 yuan per patient and a cumulative savings of approximately 34.7 million yuan in medical insurance funds. This practice had effectively reduced the wastage of medical resources, and could provide references for promoting standardized management of surplus drugs in medical institutions of China. In the future, the hospital should further expand the coverage of surplus drugs, ensure patients′ rights to informed consent, and establish a comprehensive performance incentive mechanism to promote the sustainable development of surplus drug management.

"Liquid biopsy" have been intensively studied in recent decades. The exosomes carry their maternal partial functional proteins and genes. As a form of intercellular vesicular transport, exosome-mediated intercellular communication participates in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. The information transmission mediated by exosomes is associated with pathophysiological status and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cancer. Their detection may be beneficial for the diagnosis and treatment of tumor. This article reviews advances in knowledge on the exosome properties, the effect of exosomes on malignant tumorigenesis, and their clinical application. The data will provide a reference for clinical practitioners.

In the past 20 years, with the development of molecular biology, the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been developing. Targeted therapy has improved the survival period of patients with positive mutation of tumor driver gene. More and more targets have been found gradually. Drugs targeting different driving genes have brought the treatment of NSCLC into a promising target era. Among the many driving genes of NSCLC, the fusion of transfection proto oncogene (RET) is the addition of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), analytic lymphama kinase (ALK) and c-ros oncogene 1-receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1) are emerging targets. Targeted drugs for RET gene fusion have been constantly updated. Recently, new high selective RET inhibitors blu-667 and loxo-292 have made important breakthroughs. This paper will review the review of the fusion mutation of RET gene in NSCLC, the detection methods, clinicopathological characteristics, targeted treatment and the research progress after drug resistance.
