Objective To investigate the diagnostic value comparatively of CT and radiography in pneumoconiosis.Methods Chest radiographic and CT images were analyzed retrospectively in 52 cases with pneumoconiosis.Results The pulmonary disseminated small shadowes (diameter 10 mm),13 cases and 9 cases were detected by CT and radiography respectively.20 cases (5 pneumonia,3 pulmonary tuberculosis,1 lung cancer,6 pneumothorax,4 pulmonary emphysema) and 10 cases (1 pneumonia,1 pulmonary tuberculosis,6 pneumothorax,2 pulmonary emphysema) with complications were showed by CT and radiography respectively.Conclusion CT is not superior to radiography in diagnosis of simple pneumoconiosis,but CT is superior to radiography detecting the big shadow of lung and complications,and it can help radiologists to avoid mistakes.

A simple, rapid, and sensitive gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of two fatty acids, methyl hexadecanoate (MH) and methyl stearate (MS), to allow the evaluation of packaging-drug compatibility. The two migrants were quantified in selective ion-monitoring (SIM) mode, with limits of detection (LOD) of 0.0030 μg/mL and 0.0121 μg/mL. Linear calibration curves for MH and MS were obtained in the concentration ranges of 0.1011–5.0570 μg/mL and 0.2015–10.0740 μg/mL, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied to estimate the safety of the injection of recombinant antitumor-antivirus protein (RAAP). The results showed that the possible maximum daily intake was 3.0 ng and 12.1 ng for MH and MS, re-spectively. As these values were both below the permitted daily exposure, the migrants can be con-sidered as having low safety risk and do not affect the quality of the injection.

Objective:To explore the protective mechanism of Xuebijing injection (referred to as Xuebijing) on sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:① Animal experiments: 100 mice were randomly(random number) divided into 4 groups, including sham operation (Sham) group, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group, CLP+low-dose Xuebijing (L-XBJ) group, and CLP+high-dose Xuebijing (H-XBJ) group. The survival rate, lung histological changes, lung wet/dry (W/D) ratio, cell count and protein concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF), inflammatory factors levels in serum, oxidative stress indicators, cell apoptosis, and key proteins of HIF-1α/p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway were measured. ② Cell experiments: Mouse alveolar macrophages (MH-S) were cultured in vitro and divided into 6 groups, including control (Con) group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, LPS+L-XBJ group, and LPS+H-XBJ group, LPS+H-XBJ+ dimethyloxallyl glycine (DMOG, HIF-1α activator) group, LPS+H-XBJ+ 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2, HIF-1α inhibitor) group. The effects of Xuebijing on inflammatory factors, oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis and their relationship with HIF-1α/p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway were detected.Results:Xuebijing increased the survival rate of mice with sepsis-associated ARDS, relieved lung tissue damage [lung injury score: CLP group (8.778±0.588), CLP+L-XBJ group (5.833±0.310), and CLP+H-XBJ group (4.750±0.246)], alleviated lung W/D ratio, and decreased pneumonia cell infiltration and protein exudation (all P<0.05). Additionally, Xuebijing treatment also diminished the expression of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, superoxide dismutase (SOD) depletion, and cell apoptosis in LPS-induced MH-S cells and CLP-induced sepsis-associated ARDS mice (all P<0.05). Furthermore, mechanistic investigation further clarified the effects of Xuebijing on inflammation, oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis through the HIF-1α/p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway. Conclusions:Xuebijing can exert anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-apoptotic effects by suppressing the HIF-1α/p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby conferring protection against sepsis-associated ARDS.

Objective:To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of miR-15a-5p regulation Wnt signaling pathway in PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis.Methods:The PQ-induced 16HBE cell model was constructed, high-throughput miRNA chip and RT-qPCR were used to screen for miR-15a-5p with significant differences. The experimental groups were as follows: NC group (normal control);no special treatment; PQ group: 50 μmol/L PQ treated cells for 72 h; miR-15a-5p group: 16HBE stable cell lines transfected with miR-15a-5p overexpressing lentivirus; miR-15a-5p+PQ group: Stable cell lines were treated with 50 μmol/L PQ for 72 h. The expression of Wnt pathway-related genes Wnt3α and β-catenin, fibroblast marker genes Collagen I, Vimentin and α SMA, epithelial marker genes Occludin and CK18 were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The mice model of PQ-induced pulmonary fibrosis was constructed, and the protein expression and lung tissue injury were detected by Western blot, HE staining and immunohistochemistry. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and independent sample t-test was used to analyze the data between the two groups. Results:The expressions of Wnt3α, β-catenin, fibroblast marker genes Collagen I, Vimentin and α SMA significantly up-regulated in cell injury models ( P<0.05), the epithelial cell marker genes Occludin and CK18 significantly down-regulated ( P<0.05), overexpression of miR-15a-5p could inhibit the expression of Wnt3α and alleviated the EMT induced by PQ. In animal models, Wnt3α, β-catenin, fibroblast marker genes Collagen I, Vimentin and α SMA significantly increased ( P<0.01), the structure of lung tissue was disordered and fibrosis occurred, overexpression of miR-15a-5p inhibited the expression of Wnt3α protein ( P<0.05) and ameliorated lung tissue injury. Conclusions:miR-15a-5p ameliorates PQ-induced lung injury by modulating the Wnt3α/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the development of pulmonary fibrosis.
