Breast cancer has overtaken lung cancer as the most common malignancy in women. Although the early diagnostic rate has continuously improved, recurrence and metastasis remain a problem to be solved. Therefore, scientists should search for effective prognostic markers for breast cancer patients and adopt individualized programs for different patients. Studies have shown that cancer prognosis, to a certain extent, is related to the nutrition inflammation index. Preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlled nutritional status (CONUT) are indicators that comprehensively reflect the nutritional level and inflammatory state of patients, respectively. Different from other cancers, the incidence of breast cancer is related to nutritional status, and an extremely high or low score is not conducive to the prognosis of breast cancer patients. This paper reviews the research progress of PNI and CONUT in breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the expression level and clinical value of miR-28-5p in patients with aspiration pneumonia.Methods:This was a retrospective controlled study. A total of 60 patients with severe pneumonia in the Intensive Care Unit of Jinshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were selected as the study group. According to the pathogenic factors, the patients were divided into the aspiration pneumonia group and other infectious pneumonia group. At the same time, 20 healthy physical examination patients in our hospital were selected as the healthy control group. Venous blood was collected from patients in the study group on days 1, 4, and 7. The expression level of miR-28-5p in serum was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the serum levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay. The clinical detection results of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the study group were collected. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS 26.0. Then the diagnostic value of serum miR-28-5p for aspiration pneumonia was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the correlation between serum miR-28-5p and IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, CRP and PCT was analyzed by Pearson method. According to the clinical effect of 10 days of treatment, the patients were divided into the good prognosis and poor prognosis groups, and the relationship between miR-28-5p and the expression levels of various inflammatory factors and prognosis was analyzed.Results:Compared with the healthy control group, the level of serum miR-28-5p in the study group was significantly increased, and the level of serum miR-28-5p in the aspiration pneumonia group was much lower than that in the other infectious pneumonia group ( P<0.05). Compared with day 0, the expression level of serum miR-28-5p in the aspiration pneumonia group was highly increased, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). ROC curve of serum miR-28-5p expression in aspiration pneumonia showed that AUC was 0.871. When the critical value was 1.211, the sensitivity was 76.67% and the specificity was 95%. Pearson correlation analysis showed that miR-28-5p was positively correlated with IL-6 ( P<0.05), and negatively correlated with IL-4 and IL-10 ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of age, miR-28-5p, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, CRP, and PCT were 0.695, 0.813, 0.655, 0.668, 0.724, 0.651, and 0.661, respectively. Conclusions:Serum miR-28-5p has important reference significance for the diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia, and has certain value for distinguishing different types of aspiration pneumonia. The expression of miR-28-5p in serum is expected to be a new biomarker to judge the prognosis of patients with severe pneumonia. Age, TNF-α, IL-8, IL-10, CRP and PCT are correlated to the prognosis of severe pneumonia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of protective effect of ethanol extracts of Hemsleya chinensis (HC-EE) on hydrochloric acid/ethanol (HCl/EtOH)-induced acute gastric ulcer in rats. MethodLipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells were used to evaluate inhibitory effect of HC-EE on the production of inflammatory mediators in vitro. A rat acute gastric ulcer model induced by HCl/EtOH (60% ethanol in 150 mmol·L-1 HCl) was used to evaluate protective effect of HC-EE on acute gastric ulcer. Rats were divided into five groups, including normal group, model group, HC-EE low dose (HC-EE 30, 30 mg·kg-1) group, HC-EE high dose (HC-EE 60, 60 mg·kg-1) group and ranitidine (35 mg·kg-1) group. For model and drug-treated groups, vehicle solvent or drugs were orally administered twice daily for 7 consecutive days before the rats were subjected to HCl/EtOH to induce acute gastric ulcer. After being anesthetized, ulcer surface of each rat was obtained and recorded using electronic imaging technology, and the ulcer inhibition rate was calculated by ImageJ 1.8.0. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining were used to observe the pathological histological changes in rats. Content of nitric oxide (NO) in cell culture medium was measured by the Griess method. The levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in rat serum (or cell culture medium) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein expressions of phosphorylation (p)-p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK)/p38 MAPK and p-nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) p65/NF-κB p65 in rat gastric tissue were detected by Western blot. ResultIn vitro assay showed HC-EE could significantly down-regulate the expressions of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and VCAM-1 in LPS-induced cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). In vivo experimental results showed that, compared with the normal group, gastric tissue of the model group was severely damaged, and the area of gastric ulcer was significantly enlarged, levels of TNF-α, IL-6 were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the level of PGE2 was significantly decreased (P<0.01), the phosphorylation levels of of p38 MAPK, NF-κB p65 in gastric tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, HC-EE dose-dependently improved HCl/EtOH-induced gastric tissue injury and inflammatory cell infiltration, and it could increase ulcer inhibition rate, significantly decreased the release of TNF-α and IL-6 (P<0.01), HC-EE 60 group could increase the content of PGE2 (P<0.05), and significantly inhibit the phosphorylation levels of p38 MAPK and NF-κB p65 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionHC-EE can exert protective effect on HCl/EtOH-induced acute gastric ulcer in rats, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of expression of inflammatory mediators mediated by p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.
