Acute lung injury(ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)is one of the most common clinical critical illnesses in ICU.The basic pathological features of this disease are uncontrolled inflammation, destruction of the alveolar-capillary barrier and diffuse alveolar and interstitial edema.In severe cases, patients may develop significant pulmonary fibrosis.Based on the pathological changes, repairing damaged alveolar-capillary membrane and reducing fibrosis seem to be the key to the treatments of ALI/ARDS.Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) is known to be the main regulator of endothelial cell proliferation and differentiation.Previous studies have suggested that VEGF plays an important role in the inflammatory reactions and pathological manifestations of ALI/ARDS, but the results are complex.This review mainly focused on the expression changes of VEGF in ALI/ ARDS and the effects and mechanisms of regulating VEGF signaling.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To explore the expression pattern of microRNA-205 ( miR-205) in glioma tissues and its role in the invasion of glioma cells.METHODS:The expression of miR-205 and TBX18 was detected by real-time PCR and immunohistochemical observation, respectively.Transwell assay was used to examine the invasion change of U251 glioma cells after miR-205 overexpression via miR-205 mimics or decrease in miR-205 expression by miR-205 inhibitor.The target of miR-205 was searched by bioinformatics analysis combined with experimental analysis.The protein level of TBX18 was determined by Western blotting after siRNA transfection and Transwell assay was conducted.RESULTS:miR-205 expres-sion was downregulated in 82.6%of detected glioma tissues and TBX18 was significantly overexpressed in glioma tissues compared with normal tissues.miR-205 overexpression remarkably inhibited the invasion potential of U251 glioma cells with a decrease in the invasive cells (P<0.01), while inhibition of miR-205 significantly enhanced the invasion ability of U251 cells.Mechanically, miR-205 directly targeted TBX18 and downregulation of TBX18 also significantly inhibited the invasion potential of U251 cells with a decrease in the invasive cells ( P<0.01 ) .CONCLUSION: miR-205 expression is de-creased in glioma, and miR-205 inhibits glioma cell invasion via targeting TBX18.Our research contributes to the mecha-nisms responsible for glioma invasion and provides theoretical base for developing new therapeutic strategy to treat glioma.

Objective To study the value of copeptin and APACHE Ⅱ used for assessing acute paraquat poisoning (APP). Methods One hundred and twenty six APP patients were divided into survival group (n = 58) and death group (n = 68), with clinical death as the endpoint of observation. 3 mL blood was obtained from each subject at 2 h , 24 h and 7 d after admission for detecting the levels of copeptin , and APACHE Ⅱ scores were recorded at the same time. Results There was significant difference in dosages of paraquat taken in the death group and the survival group , but the differences were significant in the rescue time , the first time for hemoperfusion and the times for hemoperfusion. 2 h after admission , the death group and survival group had significant difference in elevated copeptin but no significant difference in scores by APACHE Ⅱ. 24 h after admission copeptin decreased to normal level in the survival group but maintained at a higher level in the death group, while the scores by APACHE Ⅱ had insignificant difference between two groups. 7 d after admission, copeptin kept at a higher level and the scores by APACHE Ⅱwere significantly increased in the death group , with significant differences compared to the survival group. The oral doses of pesticides the patients took were positively correlated with copeptin level and scores by APACHE Ⅱ. Conclusion Repeated detection of copeptin and APACHE Ⅱ score are of clinical importance for the assessment of prognosis of APP patients and reasonable distribution of medical resources.

A large proportion of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are diagnosed with metastatic and incurable advanced lung cancer at the time of discovery, so these patients are given no surgical opportunity and have a low 5-year survival rate. In the era of immunotherapy, many kinds of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been approved as the first/second-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC with negative driving genes and have been combined with radiotherapy as an important treatment strategy for patients with advanced NSCLC. The innovative strategy of combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy has shown feasibility as supported by practical evidence in clinical research. A preclinical experiment of observing the immune mechanism at the molecular and cellular levels preliminarily revealed the interaction among tumor, radiation, and immune system. This paper briefly reviews the progress of combined radiotherapy and immunotherapy in the treatment of advanced NSCLC with negative drvier genes.

Objective: To explore the correlation between pull-up ability and upper body composition of male college students in a college in Guangxi, and to provide scientific guidance for college students’ exercise. Methods: A total of 685 male college students were randomly selected from a college in Guangxi.Pull up tests were implemented according to the national physical health test standards. Measurements of muscle mass, fat mass, fat percentage, etc. of the upper limbs were conducted by using the Ogilvy Body Composition Meter (TANITA MC-180). Data entry and analysis were performed by using SPSS 23.0. Results: The pass rate of male college students in the region was 21.7%; There was a statistically significant difference in the fat mass and percentage of body fat between males with different pull-up ability (F=11.30，14.18，12.91，15.22，P<0.01).After controlling age, height, weight and BMI, partial correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between the pull-up ability of male college students and the fat mass and limb fat rate of both upper limbs(r=-0.22, -0.33, -0.31, -0.38, P<0.01). Conclusion The ability of male students in Guangxi to pull up is needed to be improved. Pull-up exercises can reduce fat mass and fat percentage in the upper limbs and improve body composition.

Objective:To analyze the terminal survey data of hospice care services in a district of Beijing in 2020, and discuss its current situation and existing problems of hospice care services in this district for countermeasures, hence providing reference for the development of hospice care services.Methods:Data were collected from the " Terminal Survey Forms of the Second Batch of Hospice Care Pilot Areas in China in 2020" , which were reported by 4 tertiary hospitals and 5 community health service centers in a district of Beijing. The reporting timeframe ranged from January to December 2020. Text analysis method was used to analyze the hospice care mode, relevant security policies, hospice care team, case diagnosis categories, average hospitalization days and patient cost burden. All the data were subject to descriptive analysis.Results:In 2020, only 4 tertiary hospitals carried out outpatient, consultation and inpatient services of hospice care among the 9 medical institutions in a certain district of Beijing, and none of them carried out home hospice care services. The number of doctors and nurses engaged in hospice care in the four hospitals was 35 and 40 respectively; There were 267 inpatient cases of hospice care, including 121 cases of malignant tumors, accounting for 45.32%; The average hospitalization days of hospice patients (40.0 days) was more than that of the hospital (7.8 days); The average daily hospitalization cost of hospice patients (3 428.7 yuan) was lower than that of the hospital (3 605.6 yuan); Hospice care services had not been included in the scope of medical insurance payment, and the relevant security policies were not perfect.Conclusions:The work of hospice care service in a district of Beijing remains at an initial stage, and the professional team building and supporting policies for hospice care fail to catch up with the demand in this district. The authors suggest to speed up the development of hospice care in primary medical institutions, build a network of " hospital -community-family" levels, enhance training of professionals and technical personnel of hospice care, as well as establish and improve the medical security system, so as to promote the rapid development of hospice care services in this district.

Peritoneal dialysis is the most common form of renal replacement therapy in neonates.Due to its technical simplicity and compliance with neonatal physiological characteristics, peritoneal dialysis, especially acute peritoneal dialysis(APD), has been paid increasing attention in clinical practice in recent years.APD in neonates can be effective in treating critical diseases such as renal failure and metabolic disturbances.Despite the increasingly extensive application of APD, existing clinical practice shows a relatively high rate of complications and mortality in APD neonates.In this article, the application, prognosis and related factors of APD in neonates were reviewed.
