OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of Kanglaite injection combined with radiothreapy in the treatment of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),and provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METH-ODS:Retrieved from PubMed,Cochrane Library,EMBase,VIP,CJFD,Wanfang database and CBM,randomized controlled tri-als(RCT)about the efficacy and safety of Kanglaite injection combined with radiothreapy in the treatment of NSCLC were collect-ed. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software after data extraction and quality evaluation with modified Jadad scale. RESULTS:Totally 9 RCTs were included,involving 561 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed,Kanglaite injection com-bined with radiothreapy can significantly improve the effective rate [OR=2.99,95%CI(2.07,4.31),P<0.001] and improvement rate of life quality [OR=3.74,95%CI(2.36,5.92),P<0.001],and reduce the incidence of radiation pneumonitis [OR=0.23,95%CI (0.12,0.47),P<0.001] and radiation esophagitis [OR=0.10,95%CI(0.05,0.21),P<0.001] of NSCLC patients,the differences were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS:Both the efficacy and safety of Kanglaite injection combined with radiothreapy in the treatment of NSCLC are superior to radiothreapy alone.

Objective:To assess the effects of heart valve replacement under extracorporeal circulation(ECC)on left ventricular function and regulatory T cells in elderly patients with rheumatic heart disease(RHD).Methods:113 elderly patients with rheumatic heart disease receiving ECC heart valve replacement at our hospital from September 2018 to September 2020 were selected retrospectively as subjects.Another 113 healthy people from the same period were selected as the control group.Patients in the observation group received ECC heart valve replacement.Left heart function and regulatory T cells were compared between the two groups.Results:Before surgery, the left atrial transverse diameter(LA)of RHD patients was significantly increased compared with the control group[(56.2±9.3)mm vs.(29.4±3.5)mm, t=28.670, P<0.001], and the left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVDD)[(32.4±7.7)mm vs.(38.4±8.5)mm, t=5.561, P<0.001], left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)[(58.4±11.5)% vs.(65.6±10.5)%, t=4.915, P<0.001]and cardiac output(CO)[(3.7±2.6)L/min vs.(4.7±1.6)L/min, t=3.482, P<0.001]were significantly decreased compared with the control group.There were no significant changes in left heart function parameter values 10 min and 1 day after surgery(all P>0.05).One month after surgery, the inner diameter of pulmonary artery(PA)[(25.2±3.8)mm vs.(31.2±5.6)mm, t=9.659, P<0.001]and LA[(46.2±7.8)mm vs.(56.2±9.3)mm, t=8.758, P<0.001]were decreased compared with those before surgery, while changes in right ventricular end diastolic inner diameter(RVDD)and left ventricular end diastolic inner diameter(LVDD)were not significant, and there were no significant differences in LVEF, CO and LVFS(all P>0.05).The proportion of CD25 + CD4 + T cells in lymphocytes and the proportion of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg cells in CD4 + T cells in RHD patients before surgery were significantly lower than those in the control group( P<0.01).The proportions decreased 10 min and 1 day after surgery, but increased 3 days after surgery and returned to preoperative levels 7 days after surgery, but were still significantly lower than those in the control group( P<0.05). Conclusions:After ECC heart valve replacement in elderly RHD patients, the left atrium will shrink for a short time and tricuspid regurgitation can recover, with reduced damage of cellular immune function, but its contractile function remains unchanged.

Objective:To observe the changes of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and lung function of patients defined by different TCM syndromes with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Methods:A total of 181 patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in our hospital from January 2016 to Novenber 2018 were included and divided into 5 groups accoding to different TCM syndromes, which were wind-cold invading lung syndrome (26), external cold and internal fluid syndrome (40), phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome (48), phlegm-dampness blocked syndrome (48), an heart spirit confused by phlegm syndrome (19). Then tested the blood for each group, and calculated NLR; tested c-reactive protein, and lung function, and measured with COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and Modified British Medical Research Council (mMRC); conducted 6MWT, then the BODE index and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores were calculated.Results:The NLR, CRP level in patients with external cold and internal fluid syndrome and an heart spirit confused by phlegm syndromeby phlegm were significantly higher than those of other syndrome ( P<0.05 or P<0.01), and FEV1% Pred was significantly lower than that of phlegm-dampness blocked syndrome ( P=0.024); the 6-minute walking distance of patients with external cold and internal fluid syndrome was significantly shorter than that of phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome and phlegm-dampness blocked syndrome ( P=0.006, P=0.024). The comparison of mMRC grades among the syndromes was statistically significant ( F=26.367, P=0.049). The BODE index of patients external cold and internal fluid syndrome was higher than that of patients phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome ( P=0.015), and the CCI score of patients an heart spirit confused by phlegm syndrome was higher than that of patients phlegm-dampness blocked syndrome ( P=0.012). The BODE index of patients with external cold internal fluid syndrome was significantly higher than that of phlegm-heat obstructing lung syndrome ( P=0.015). The CCI score of patients with mental disorder caused by phlegm was significantly higher than that of phlegm-dampness blocked lung syndrome ( P=0.012). Conclusions:There were significantly differences in neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, CRP and 6-minute walking distance among different TCM syndromes in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The inflammation in patients with external cold and internal fluid syndrome and mental disorder caused by phlegmare much severe, but there might be no difference in dyspnea and prognosis among TCM syndromes.

Background/Aims:
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become an increasingly important health challenge, with a substantial rise linked to changing lifestyles and global obesity. Ursolic acid, a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid, has been explored for its potential therapeutic effects. Given its multifunctional bioactive properties, this research further revealed the pharmacological mechanisms of ursolic acid on MASLD.
Methods:
Drug target chips and bioinformatics analysis were combined in this study to explore the potential therapeutic effects of ursolic acid on MASLD. Molecular docking simulations, surface plasmon resonance analyses, pull-down experiments, and co-immunoprecipitation assays were used to verify the direct interactions. Gene knockdown mice were generated, and high-fat diets were used to validate drug efficacy. Furthermore, initial CD4+ T cells were isolated and stimulated to demonstrate our findings.
Results:
In this study, the multifunctional extracellular matrix phosphorylated glycoprotein secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) was investigated, highlighting its capability to induce Th17 cell differentiation, amplifying inflammatory cascades, and subsequently promoting the evolution of MASLD. In addition, this study revealed that in addition to the canonical TGF-β/IL-6 cytokine pathway, SPP1 can directly interact with ITGB1 and CD44, orchestrating Th17 cell differentiation via their joint downstream ERK signaling pathway. Remarkably, ursolic acid intervention notably suppressed the protein activity of SPP1, suggesting a promising avenue for ameliorating the immunoinflammatory trajectory in MASLD progression.
Conclusions
Ursolic acid could improve immune inflammation in MASLD by modulating SPP1-mediated Th17 cell differentiation via the ERK signaling pathway, which is orchestrated jointly by ITGB1 and CD44, emerging as a linchpin in this molecular cascade.
