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.

Objective To elucidate the transmission dynamic and epidemic trend of bancroftian filariasis occurred under the condition with no control measure taken 5 years after elimination of filariasis.Methods A 10-year longitudinal observation (from 1984 to 1994) was made in Huayuan Village in Shengli Township of Tancheng County, which used to be a high bancroftian filariasis-endemic area in southern part of Shandong Province.Results The microfilarial rate decreased from 0.56% before the study to 0.12% after the study and 8 out of the 9 previous microfilaria-positive cases became negative gradually. During the study period, 6 new microfilaremia cases were detected, 5 of which became negative naturally within 3 to 4 years. Eighty-eight point eight nine per cent of the detected patients with microfilaremia converted into IgG4-negative after 10 years. The natural infective rate of vectors decreased year by year and became zero by the tenth year of the study, the annual transmission potency decreased also from 3.47 to zero by the tenth year.Conclusions It showed that under the local natural environment the biting rate representing the vector density which was obtained by capture method was from 24.1 to 52.5 person/night among the residents who did not use mosquito nets,and 13.5 to 21 person/night among the residents who used mosquito nets. The microfilarial rate of 0.56% in population with the average microfilarial density of 6.6 to 20.7 capita/60 μl ear blood of residual microfilaria-positive patients might be considered as the terminal threshold of transmission.

Objective:To study the life characteristics and related risk factors of patients with depression in Shandong Province.Methods:Based on the 2015 mental epidemiological survey database in Shandong Province,a total of 832 patients with depression,807 high-risk individuals with depression,and 819 low-risk individuals were diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ)and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-Ⅳ-TR Axis I Disorders,Research Version(SCID-I/P).In 2020,SCID-I/P was used for re diagnosis,and the General Health Questionnaire(GHQ-12),Simple Quality of Life question-naire,Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI),Childhood Trauma Questionnaire(CTQ),Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS),Global Pain Scale(GPS),Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA),Simplified Coping Style Question-naire(SCSQ)were used for evaluation.Compare changes in the quality of life of depression patients and construct a risk factor model.Results:Patients with depression had lower scores on the simple quality of life questionnaire at baseline and at retest after 5 years than those in the high-and low-risk groups,those in remission of depression had higher scores on the simple quality of life questionnaire at baseline and at retest after 5 years than those in non-re-mission,and those with new-onset disorder in the high-and low-risk groups had lower scores on the simple quality of life questionnaire at baseline and at retest after 5 years than those with no-onset disorder(Ps＜0.001).Depres-sion diagnosis and PSQI scale scores at baseline negatively predicted at retest after 5 years(β=-0.06,-0.15),while coping style tendencies at baseline positively predicted(β=0.06).The simple quality of life questionnaire at baseline negatively predicted depression diagnosis at retest after 5 years,GHQ-12 scores at retest after 5 years,and PSQI scale scores at retest after 5 years(β=-0.11,-0.17,-0.09),while the simple quality of life question-naire at baseline positively predicted coping style tendencies at retest after 5 years(β=0.13).Depression diagnosis at retest after 5 years,GHQ-12 scores at retest after 5 years,PSQI scale scores at retest after 5 years,coping style tendencies at retest after 5 years,SSRS scale scores,CTQ scale scores,GPS scale scores,and the simple quality of life questionnaire at baseline all influenced the simple quality of life questionnaire at retest after 5 years through ei-ther direct or indirect pathways.Conclusion:It suggest that the quality of life is lower in patients with depression than in the general population.Depression diagnosis,sleep,mental health,pain,social support,childhood trauma and coping are direct and indirect risk factors affecting life.
