Objective To investigate the mRNA and protein expression of E3 ubiquitin ligase Iduna in non-small-cell lung cancer tissue and para-neoplastic lung tissue,and the correlation of the Iduna expression with clinicopathological factors and prognosis.Methods The expression levels of the Iduna mRNA and protein in non-small-cell lung cancer tissue and para-neoplastic lung tissue were determined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),Western-Blot and immunohistochemistry respectively,and the correlation of the Iduna expression with clinicopathological factors and prognosis was analyzed.Results RT-PCR and Western-Blot showed the expression levels of the Iduna mRNA and protein in non-small-cell lung cancer tissue (0.468 ± 0.086 and 2.554 ± 0.544) were significantly higher than those in para-neoplastic lung tissue (0.203 ± 0.070 and 1.570 ± 0.316),there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).Immunohistochemistry results showed that Iduna was negative expression in the alveolar epithelium cells,negative or weak positive expression in normal bronchial and positive expression in different degrees in the non-small-cell lung cancer tissue.Iduna high expression rate was negative correlation with tumor differentiation (P =0.002),Iduna high expression rate was positive correlation with large tumor size (P =0.044),TNM staging (P=0.015) and lymph node metastasis (P=0.009).Iduna high expression of I stage non-small-cell lung cancer patients was correlated with poor post-operative survival (P =0.016).Conclusions High expression of Iduna may be related to the process of invasion and metastasis of nonsmall-cell lung cancer.It is possible that Iduna serve as potential markers for predicting prognosis in nonsmall-cell lung cancer.

Objective: To analyze the current status of allergic adverse reactions caused by non-ionic iodinated contrast media in patients with coronary angiography (CAG).
Methods: A total of 1 225 patients who received non-ionic iodinated contrast media for CAG in our hospital from 2011-02 to 2013-09 were retrospectively studied. There were 52 patients suffered from allergic adverse reactions including 47 (90.38%) male and 5 (9.62%) female. The allergic reaction to iodixanol, iohexol, iopamidol and iopromide were in 34, 3, 3 and 12 patients respectively. The clinical symptoms and outcomes of allergic reaction in 4 iodinated contrast media were analyzed.
Results: There were 40/52 (76.92%) patients with mild allergic reaction, 11(21.15%) with moderate and 1 (1.92%) with severe reaction. 13 patients had the reaction within 1 hour of contrast media injection and 39 had the reaction between 1 hour to 3 days of contrast media injection. There 34 patients were cured by symptomatic and anti-allergic treatment, 1 patient was rescued from allergic shock and no death occurred.
Conclusion: Application of non-ionic iodinated contrast media in CAG is safe, while closely observe the allergic adverse reaction with the in time and symptomatic treatment is very important in clinical practice.

Objective:
To determine the clinical application value of percutaneous lung biopsy guided by ultrasound in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions of silicosis.
Methods:
Experimental silicosis was produced in rabbits by the intratracheal administration of silica with non-exposure method. Imaging changes were observed in 36 rabbits on 60 days after intratracheal instillation of silica. To contrast with CT results, percutaneous lung biopsy of peripheral lesions was guided by ultrasound. The success rate of sufficient material, the diagnosis rate of coincidence between biopsy and pathology, and the incidence of complications were calculated. The biopsy with sufficient material, biopsy findings coincided with pathological results and no complications were defined as strictly success of the puncture. The baseline data and monitoring index were compared between successful biopsy group and unsuccessful biopsy group. Each rabbit was intravenously administrated by 10 000 U of heparin for the antiocoagulation and sacrificed by fast injection of 10% KCl through jugular vein catheterization. Specimens from lung tissue were collected and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Pathological changes of lung tissue were observed through an optical microscope.
Results:
Of 36 silicosis rabbits, peripheral lung lesions of silicosis were observed in 30 rabbits. Biopsy procedures were performed with ultrasound guidance in 30 rabbits. The total success rate of biopsy was 70% (21/30). The success rate of sufficient material was 93% (28/30), the diagnosis rate of coincidence between biopsy and pathology 86%(24/28), and the incidence of complications was 10% (3/30) respectively. Compared with failure group, peripheral lesions in successful biopsy group were bigger in size, closer to the chest wall, and lower respiratory rate, the difference was statistically significant (

Objective:To evaluate the effects of occupational aluminum exposure on workers' overall cognitive function and cognitive fields.Methods:From July to August 2019, using the method of cluster sampling, 101 and 117 workers were selected from the electrolytic aluminum workshop of an aluminum plant in a region and the maintenance workshop of a plant in the same region. The venous blood of the subjects was collected, the plasma was extracted, and the blood aluminum concentration was measured by ICP-MS. According to the blood aluminum concentration and type of work, 93 workers who were lower than the median blood aluminum concentration and in the maintenance workshop of a factory were divided into low aluminum exposure group, and 85 workers who were higher than the median blood aluminum concentration and in the electrolytic aluminum workshop of an aluminum factory were divided into high aluminum exposure group. The basic information of the respondents, was collected through the employee physical examination form. The overall cognitive function of workers was evaluated by Beijing Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) . Multiple linear regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were used for multiple statistical analysis.Results:Compared with the low aluminum exposure group (25.42±1.808) , the total score of MoCA in the high aluminum exposure group (23.84±2.919) was significantly lower, and the scores of visual space, executive function, abstract and delayed recall were significantly lower ( P<0.05) . Linear regression analysis showed that the total score of MoCA, visual space and executive function, naming and delayed recall were negatively correlated with blood aluminum concentration ( β=-0.018、-0.008、-0.003、-0.008, P<0.05) .MOCA total score, visual space and executive function, attention, language, abstraction, orientation were positively correlated with educational level ( β=0.853、0.310、0.216、0.171、0.412、0.122, P<0.05) . Logistic regression analysis showed that adjusting for age, smoking, drinking and education, blood aluminum was a risk factor for mild cognitive impairment ( OR=1.017, P<0.05) ; Education level was the protective factor of mild cognitive impairment ( OR=0.419, P<0.05) . Conclusion:Occupational aluminum exposure can affect the overall cognitive function of workers, and occupational aluminum exposure increases the risk of MCI.

Radiotherapy is an effective anti-tumor therapy for different types of solid tumors. Over 50% of cancer patients are treated with radiotherapy at different stages in the course of the disease. According to traditional radiobiology, radiation therapy mainly kills tumor cells by causing proliferative death of tumor cells through DNA damage. However, clinical data showed that many patients still experienced tumor recurrence and metastasis after receiving radiation therapy. Current studies have found that the biological behavior of tumor cells, such as invasion and migration, were changed after radiation through epithelial-mesenchymal transition, circadian rhythm disruption, senescence, and increased stemness of cancer cells, thereby leading to tumor recurrence and metastasis. In this article, the changes and mechanisms of biological behavior in tumor cells after radiation were reviewed, providing evidence for the prevention and treatment of tumor recurrence and metastasis.
