Objective The aims of this study were to analyze the clinical characteristics and laboratory test results of stageⅣ lung cancer patients with Pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE),and to find out the risk factors for pulmonary thromboembolism. Methods A total of 70 patients with stage IV lung cancer were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nan Chang University from January 2011 to October 2017. Blood routine,blood biochemistry,coagulation function,tumor markers(CEA,CA199,CA125, NSE,Cyfra211)and multi-slice spiral CT pulmonary angiography(CTPA)were collected in these patients. Univariate analysis was applied to compare the clinical features and laboratory tests between PTE and non-PTE groups. Multivariate logistic regression analy-sis was applied to explore significant risk factors of PTE. Results Univariate analysis showed that serum albumin,blood leukocyte, neutrophil percentage,increased Cyfra211 and abnormal tumor markers were risk factors for PTE in patients with stage IV lung canc-er. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the number of abnormal tumor markers ≥4(OR=7. 016,95% CI:1. 916 ~25. 686)was an independent risk factor for PTE in stage IV lung cancer. Conclusion The number of abnormal tumor markers is an independent risk factor for pulmonary thromboembolism in stageⅣlung cancer. When the number of abnormal tumor markers is≥4, it is necessary to highly alert the possibility of stage IV lung cancer with pulmonary thromboembolism.

Objective:To analyze the effect of permissive hypercapnia(PHC) in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome(RDS).Methods:Seventy preterm infants diagnosed with RDS from July 2019 to September 2020 were enrolled.The preterm infants were divided into PHC group[noninvasive high-frequency ventilation(NHFV)+ PHC, n=34] and non PHC group(NHFV, n=36)after injection of pulmonary surfactant by LISA method.Ventilator parameters, time of ventilation, oxygen therapy, enteral feedingand hospitalization days were compared between the two groups.The incidences of patent ductus arteriosus, intracranial hemorrhage, pneumothorax and ventilator-induced lung injury were recorded. Results:The time of mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy, age of enteral feeding and hospitalization time in PHC group were less than those in non PHC group( P<0.05). PaO 2 and PaCO 2 of the two groups had no difference before mechanical ventilation treatment( P>0.05), and PaO 2 of the two groups had no difference after 24 hours of treatment( P>0.05). After treatment, PaCO 2 in non PHC group was significantly lower, and there was no significant difference in PHC group( P<0.05). There was no significant difference regarding ventilator parameters MAP and FiO 2 after 24 hours of treatment between the two groups( P>0.05), and the ΔP of PHC group was significantly lower than that of non-PHC group ( P<0.05). The incidence of ventilator-induced lung injury in PHC group was lower than that in non-PHC group( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with conventional ventilation therapy, PHC has similar therapeutic effect, but it can shorten the mechanical ventilation time, oxygen therapy time, age of enteral feeding and hospitalization days, and reduce the incidence of ventilator-induced lung injury.

Human Gasdermin B (GSDMB) gene, as a member of the Gasdermin (GSDM) gene family, may be associated with the development of asthma, tumor and immune system diseases. Recent studies have found that cell pyroptosis can be mediated by GSDMB protein. The N-terminus of GSDMB cleaved by Granzyme A (GZMA), which is secreted by cytotoxic lymphocytes, can directly promote cell pyroptosis. Moreover, GSDMB protein promotes the cleavage of Gasdermin D (GSDMD) by binding to cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-4 (caspase-4), thus indirectly promoting cell pyroptosis. This article summarized the progress in the mechanism of GSDMB gene-mediated cell pyroptosis and the related diseases.
