Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that regulate various signaling pathways in the body by mediating the release of proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, thus playing an important role in pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, tumor, immunity and nervous system. More and more studies have shown that exosomal non-coding RNA (ncRNA) plays a crucial role in pancreatic diseases. This article reviews the role of exosome ncRNA in the occurrence, diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic diseases such as acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, in order to provide a reference for clinical practice.

Lung cancer,a malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality rate,is characterized by multiple types,high malignancy and poor prognosis.Immunotherapy is to stimulate and enhance immune system of the host to achieve the purpose of controlling and killing tumor cells,and has been proven to have good therapeutic effects on many types of cancer.Immunogenic cell death(ICD)is a programmed cell death characterized by the release of large amounts of damage-associated molecular pat-terns(DAMPs).After treatment of certain chemotherapy drugs,physical therapy,biological therapy or combination therapy,lung cancer cells will undergo ICD,altering from non-immunogenic to immunogenic.Immune cells will then be recruited and ac-tivated,and finally activate and enhance anti-tumor immune response in the body.This article reviews the mechanism of ICD and the application of ICD inducers in the treatment of lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the levels of plasma adrenaline and norepinephrine and gene polymorphism of β1 adrenergic receptor G1165C in children with enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection in hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Methods The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the expression of gene polymorphism of β1 adrenergic receptor G1165C in vitro. The levels of plasma adrenaline and norepinephrine were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The plasma norepinephrine level of severe group was significantly higher than the mild group in children with EV71 infection in HFMD (P < 0.05); however, the levels of plasma adrenaline in two groups had no statistical differences (P > 0.05); There was no significant difference in the distribution of β1 adrenergic receptor G1165C genotype and allele between EV71 infection group and healthy control group (P > 0.05). Further analysis of EV71 infection group by dividing it into mild and severe groups showed that there was no significant difference in the distribution of genotype and allele between these two groups as well (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine in different genotypes of EV71 infection group (P > 0.05), and in the levels of plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine in the mild and severe groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions As the disease gets worse, the plasma norepinephrine level has a rising trend in children with EV71 infection in HFMD, which is an important indicator to evaluate the progress of the disease. However, the gene polymorphism of β1 adrenergic receptor G1165C have no significant correlation, not only with the susceptibility and severity of EV71 infection in hand, foot and mouth disease, but also with the levels of catecholamine.
