Objective To explore the expression of miR-221/222 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its correlation with clinical pathological parameters. Methods The clinical pathological data and formalin fixed-paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues of 55 NSCLC patients and 10 benign lesion patients who underwent surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanhua University from February 2012 to May 2014 were collected and followed. The relationship between miR-221/222 expression detected by real-time PCR and clinical pathological parameters and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed. The differential survival between the high expression group and the low expression group of miR-221/222 were compared. A Cox proportional hazard regression model was utilized to examine the prognostic factors of NSCLC. Results The expression level of miR-221/222 was significantly higher in tumor tissues than that in corresponding benign lesion tissues (Fold change=3.52, P=0.000;Fold change=2.01, P=0.000). There was a negative correlation between miR-221/222 expression and pathological grades (r=-0.732, P=0.000;r=-0.451, P=0.001). The relative expression of miR-221 showed a positive correlation with miR-222 (r=0.376, P=0.000). Patients with higher levels of miR-221/222 were closely associated with a shorter PFS (miR-221: 55.43 weeks vs. 81.29 weeks, P=0.028; miR-222: 45.00 weeks vs. 87.04 weeks, P=0.008). Finally, multivariate analysis demonstrated that miR-222 expression was independently associated with poor PFS (RR=2.808, P=0.033). Conclusions miR-221/222 is highly expressed in NSCLC tumor tissues with a positive correlation. A negative correlation is observed between the expression of miR-221/222 and tumor differentiation. The potential high expression of miR-221/222 is considered as tumor biomarkers for the prognosis of NSCLC patients.

Objective:To investigate the association between pulse pressure(PP) and new-onset diabetes in overweight and obese people.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted in overweight or obese participants selected from Kailuan Study who underwent 2006-2007 annual checkup and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. PP was calculated by blood pressure and participants were divided into 4 groups according to PP quartile. The cumulative incidence of new-onset diabetes of different PP groups was calculated by Kaplan- Meier method and compare by Log- Rank test. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the association between different PP groups and new-onset diabetes. Results:During an average follow-up of 8.45 years, 8 922 diabetes was identified. The cumulative incidence rate of the Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups were 22.12%, 24.48%, 27.97%, and 33.44% respectively, which were statistically different( χ2=368.16, P<0.01). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that after adjusting for multiple confounding factors, compared with Q1 group, the hazard ratio for diabetes in Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups were 1.07(1.00-1.14), 1.13(1.05-1.21), and 1.17(1.09-1.27) respectively. And the HR of diabetes event in pulse pressure(per 1 SD increase) was 1.04(1.02-1.07). Similar results were found in participants who were over-weight, obese, with normal blood pressure or hypertensive without drugs use. Conclusion:PP is positively correlated with the new-onset diabetes. High PP is one of the risk factors for developing diabetes in overweight and obese people.

Objective To analyze the effect of roxadustat and human erythropoietin injection on hemodialysis patients.Methods Data of the patients who received hemodialysis treatment in Emergency General Hospital from December 2021 to December 2023 were selected and the patients were divided into the test group(treated with oral roxadustat)and the control group(treated with human erythropoietin subcutaneous injection)according to the treatment schemes.The levels of hemoglobin(HB),hematocrit(HCT),erythropoietin(EPO),transferrin saturation(TSAT),unsaturated iron binding capacity(UIBC),ferritin(SF),fibroblast growth factor-23(FGF-23),NADPH oxidase 2(NOX2),advanced protein oxidation product(AOPP),P-selectin(CD62P),C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),claudin-1(CLDN-1)and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results A total of 80 patients were included,with 40 patients in each group.After treatment,the levels of Hb,HCT,SF,TSAT and CLDN-1 in the test group were higher than those in the control group,while the levels of EPO,UIBC,FGF-23,AOPP,NOX2,CD62P,CRP,IL-1 β and IL-6 in the test group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in the test group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with human erythropoietin injection,roxadustat can significantly correct the anemia state of hemodialysis patients,regulate the iron metabolism,improve the inflammation and the oxidative stress response,and has high effectiveness and safety.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect and safety of enucleation of insulinoma under the Da Vinci robotic surgical system combination with intraoperative ultrasonography(IOUS) for the localization.

METHODSThe clinical materials of 50 insulinoma cases which underwent IOUS and assisted by the robotic surgical system from September 2012 to September 2014 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were reviewed retrospectively. The patients were followed up by outpatient review and telephone until October 2014. The diagnostic accuracy rate, operation time, blood loss, complications and cure rate were analyzed by t-test.

RESULTSThe locations of tumors were 13 in the head, 21 in the body and 13 in the tail of pancreas, 2 were multiple insulinoma, 1 was ectopic to mesenterium.The average operation time was 142 minutes; the average blood loss was 165 ml.Three(6.0%) patients were transformed to open.One patient experienced postoperative bleeding about 300 ml on the 7(th) day after operation and no infection and perioperative death.Thirty-five cases were of class A and 14 of class B according to the clinical grading of postoperative pancreatic fistula.The blood glucose 60 minutes after tumor dissection was significantly elevated than that before operation ((6.2±1.8)mmol/L vs.(3.7±1.2)mmol/L)(t=-6.89, P<0.01). The cure rate was 100% as all the patients' symptoms were disappeared during follow-up time.

CONCLUSIONSCombination IOUS is a highly sensitive method for the localization of insulinoma, which is helpful in localizing tumors precisely in insulinoma cases assisted by robotic surgical system and shortening operation time.It is safe and effective for insulinoma enucleation.

Objective To explore the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) on expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in different brain regions of aging rats. Methods Forty male SD rats were randomized equally into negative control group, D-galactose group, EPO treatment group, and positive control group. Rat models of subacute aging were established by continuous subcutaneous injection of 5%D-galactose. Immunohistochemical staining was used to analyze the variation of BDNF expressions in different brain regions of the aging rats with different treatments. Results Significant brain region-specific differences in BDNF expression were found among the rats in different groups. Compared with those in the negative control group, the numbers of BDNF-positive cells in the hippocampal CA1 region, CA3 region, dentate gyrus (DG) and frontal cortex were all decreased obviously in D-galactose group (P<0.05) but increased in both EPO group and the positive control group (P<0.05) without significant differences between the latter two groups. In the rats in the same group, the number of BDNF-positive cells varied markedly in different brain regions (P<0.05), and the expression level of BDNF was the highest in the frontal cortex followed by the hippocampal CA3 region and the dentate gyrus, and was the lowest in the hippocampal CA1 region. Conclusion Treatment with rhEPO enhances the expression of BDNF in rat neural cells, suggesting that rhEPO may protect the nervous system from aging by regulating the BDNF pathway.

Ovarian cancer （OC） is a common gynecological malignant tumor in clinical practice. In the early stage，it is often asymptomatic，while in the late stage，it mainly presents with non-specific symptoms such as abdominal distension，poor appetite，and dull abdominal pain. Some patients may also have cachexia such as weight loss and anemia. Early diagnosis is difficult，and the mortality rate ranks first among gynecological malignant tumors，making OC a major challenge in clinical treatment. The classic Chinese medicine formula Guizhi Fulingwan comes from the Jingui Yaolue and has the effects of promoting blood circulation，removing blood stasis，and reducing abdominal lumps. In recent years，it has been widely used to treat OC with good results. This article summarized the clinical application of Guizhi Fulingwan in the treatment of OC from two aspects：The analysis of its basic prescriptions and clinical research. In terms of basic prescriptions，the formula has the ability to promote blood circulation，remove blood stasis，and reduce abdominal lumps. It can exert therapeutic effects considering both water and blood aspects and reduce abdominal lumps， with characteristics of simultaneous Yang warming and heat clearing and parallel supplementation and elimination. Through the methods of "circulation" and "supplementation"， it strengthens the body，dispels evil，and eliminates underlying symptoms. In clinical studies，Guizhi Fulingwan can be applied to various stages of patients with OC，which not only promotes the recovery of the body after OC surgery but also can be combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy to synergistically treat advanced OC and enhance treatment efficacy. In addition，the formula can also alleviate various adverse reactions caused by chemotherapy，with high safety，improve patients' quality of life，prolong survival，and optimize tumor control effects. Based on the above analysis，this article elaborated on the current clinical research status of Guizhi Fulingwan combined with Western medicine in the treatment of OC and proposed suggestions and improvements to address the shortcomings in current clinical research，so as to provide reference for the clinical application of this formula in the treatment of OC and the construction of a combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment model.
