Objective To explore the effect of pain management model of the nurse-centered multidisciplinary cooperation on quick recovery in lung cancer patients with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery vats (VATS).Methods A total of 96 lung cancer patients with selective VATS in Department of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery of Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province were selected as control group from July 2014 to December 2014. A total of 91 lung cancer patients with selective VATS were chosen as experimental group between January 2016 to June 2016. Patients received postoperative acute pain management with the pain management mode of nurse-centered multidisciplinary cooperation in experimental group and traditional management model in control group. The differences were observed and compared among patients between two groups in the occurrence of moderate-severe pain,time of first ambulation,occurrence of postoperative complications,average hospital stay and so on. Results The score of NRS,incidence of moderate-severe pain in experimental group (3.25,6.59%) were lower than those (4.65,16.67%) in control group within 24 hours with significant differences (t/χ2=-2.247,4.567;P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the time of first ambulation and average hospital stay between experimental group [(19.11±7.49) h,(9.34±3.66) d] and control group [(27.40±11.91) h, (10.98±5.01) d] (t=-4.766,-2.024;P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of postoperative complications between two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions The importance of nurses in pain management of multidisciplinary cooperation becomes increasingly. The model can effectively promote quick recovery in postoperative patients and speed up the process of nursing professional development.

[Abstract] Objective: To explore the effects of triptolide on immune function and tumor cell proliferation in patients with cervical cancer. Methods: Sixty-two patients with cervical cancer admitted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North College between July 2015 and April 2018 were randomly divided into the control group (n=31) and the observation group (n=31). All patients received routine treatment after laparoscopy, while those in the observation group received additional triptolide. The treatment efficacy, serum immune cells, inflammatory factors and the levels of cyclinD1, estrogen receptor α (ERα ) were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: The total remission rate of the patients in the observation group was 87.10%, significantly higher than 61.29% in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of CD3+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes and CD4+ /CD8+ T lymphocytes in the two groups increased significantly, with more obvious increase in the observation group than that in the control group (P<0.01). The levels of CD8+ and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) T lymphocytes in the two groups decreased significantly after treatment, with a more obvious decrease in observation group than that in control group (P<0.01). After treatment, the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the two groups decreased, and those in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the positive expression rate of cyclinD1 decreased and the positive expression rate of ER α increased in both groups (all P<0.05), with no significant difference between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion: On the basis of routine surgical treatment, triptolide can effectively improve the immune function, reduce the inflammatory response, inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and regulate the expression of cancer-related factors in patients with cervical cancer, which has a certain therapeutic effect on cervical cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy and stability of Eye-Monitor, a smart wearable device, in quantifying environmental risks related to myopia.Methods:A diagnostic test study was conducted.Forty-two subjects aged 18-25 years old were recruited from Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in December 2021.Forty-two Eye-Monitors were selected from 80 devices using the simple random sampling method.Static and dynamic tests were carried out to compare environmental risks related to myopia.The static tests included measurements under different working distances, different head tilt angles when sitting, and different light intensities.The dynamic tests included measurements under different near-work time, different outdoor activity time, different time watching computers, and different phone viewing time.Eye-Monitor with the largest sum of absolute values of total relative error was selected, Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the set values and Eye-Monitor measurements, and the accuracy of the objectively measured values was evaluated by Bland-Altman consistency analysis.The stability of the objectively measured values from Eye-Monitor was evaluated by the coefficient of variation.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (No.HEC-KS-2021005KY). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:There were significant correlations between the measured values and setting values in the working distance, head tilt angle when sitting, indoor light intensity, total near-work time, average continuous near-work time, outdoor activity time, time watching computers, and time viewing phones ( rs=0.999, 0.998, 0.999, 0.998, 0.976, 0.959, 0.992, 0.997; all at P<0.001), with the 95% limits of agreement (LoA) of-1.23-2.32 cm, -1.49-4.24°, -13.90-26.90 lx, -6.46-0.11 minutes, -4.50-1.20 minutes, -4.01-1.34 minutes, -2.54-1.94 minutes and-2.15-0.45 minutes, respectively.More than 95% of dots were within the clinically acceptable LoA.The coefficients of variation of the measured values ranged from 1.23%-2.99%, 2.39%-8.25%, 0.87%-8.03%, 1.49%-12.52%, 6.63%-13.59%, 0.00%-14.15%, 1.20%-8.33 and 1.49%-12.51%, respectively, showing good stability.Eye-Monitor had good accuracy in measuring outdoor light intensity (95% LoA: -336.50-130.00 lx).

Tumor-associated macrophage(TAM)play a crucial role in the immune microenvironment of lung can-cer.Through changes in their phenotype and phagocytic functions,TAM contribute to the initiation and progression of lung cancer.By promoting the formation of an immune-suppressive microenvironment and accelerating the growth of abnormal tumor vasculature,TAM facilitate the invasion and metastasis of lung cancer.Macrophages can polarize into different subtypes with distinct functions and characteristics in response to various stimuli,categorized as anti-tumor M1 and pro-tumor M2 types.In tumor tissues,TAM typically polarize into the alternatively activated M2 phenotype,exhibiting inhibitory effects on tumor immunity.This article reviews the role of anti-angiogenic drugs in modulating TAM phenotypes,highlighting their po-tential to reprogram M2-type TAM into an anti-tumor M1 phenotype.Additionally,the functional alterations of TAM play a significant role in anti-angiogenic therapy and immunotherapy strategies.In summary,the regulation of TAM polarization and function opens up new avenues for lung cancer treatment and may serve as a novel target for modulating the immune microen-vironment of tumors.

The incidence of lung cancer is high worldwide, and lung cancer is the leading cause of death from malignant tumors in both men and women. Early diagnosis of lung cancer can significantly improve the patient's prognosis. Therefore, searching for specific markers to assist in the early diagnosis of lung cancer is urgent question. Exosomes are nano-sized microvesicles and contain various biomaterial, including nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. Exosomes are important carriers of these biomaterial, serve important roles in intracellular communications and signal transduction among tissues. Due to its unique enrichment mechanism, it has the stability and specificity as a biomarker. Exosomes are not only involved in the formation of tumor microenvironment and new blood vessels in lung cancer, but also involved in chemotherapy, targeted therapy response and prognosis assessment. Many research advances bring new hope for prolonging the survival of lung cancer patients. This article reviews the value of exosome specific protein and microRNA (miRNA) in lung cancer in the diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer.

T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif domain (TIGIT) is a newly discovered immune checkpoint molecule, mainly expressed on the surface of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. By binding to cluster of differentiation 155 (CD155) and other ligands, it inhibits T cell and NK cell-mediated immune responses and affects the tumor microenvironment. Multiple preclinical studies have demonstrated that the TIGIT/CD155 pathway plays a role in a variety of solid and hematological tumors. Clinical trials investigating TIGIT inhibitors alone or in combination with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors for lung cancer are currently underway.

Treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) can achieve good disease control, but it will inevitably produce drug resistance. About 3%-10% of the resistance mechanism is small cell transformation. Two cases of stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutation were reported and the disease was controlled after EGFR-TKIs treatment. In case 1, progression-free survival (PFS) before small cell carcinoma transformation was 16 months, and in case 2, PFS before small cell carcinoma transformation was 24 months. Subsequent biopsy after disease progression indicated a shift to small cell lung cancer. Case 1 PFS after small cell carcinoma transformation was 6 months, and case 2 PFS after small cell carcinoma transformation was 8 months, and overall survival (OS) was 36 months, which significantly prolonged the patient's survival. At the same time, the literature of such drug resistance mutations was reviewed. For patients with advanced NSCLC with sensitive mutations, it is necessary to conduct secondary histopathological tests after TKIs treatment resistance, and select subsequent treatment according to different resistance mechanisms for the whole course of disease management.
