Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are characterized by the destruction of the barrier function of alveolar epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells and the recruitment of inflammatory cells, which leads to alveolar and interstitial edema, hyaline membrane formation and inflammatory infiltration of the lungs, etc. The mechanism is not completely defined. The current treatment plan focuses on comprehensive treatments such as ventilator support treatment, fluid management, and nutritional support, but the prognosis is still poor. Studies have shown that extracellular vesicle microRNA (miRNA) from different sources participate in regulating the function of epithelial cells, endothelial cells and phagocytes in different ways, thus aggravating or improving ALI, and have diagnostic, differential diagnosis and the therapeutic value. In this article, the mechanism, diagnostic and differerntial value of extracellular vesicle miRNA from different sources in ALI and the therapy of extracellular vesicle miRNA from stem cell in ALI are reviewed.

Autophagy is a dynamic process that degrades intracellular proteins and damaged organelles, and maintains environmental stability within the cell and provides good conditions for cell survival. Hyperoxic acute lung injury (HALI) is one of the serious complications of clinical oxygen therapy. The pathogenesis of HALI is still unclear. There are studies having shown that autophagy is involved in the pathogenesis of HALI. There are many pathway mechanisms that regulate autophagy, including phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signaling-regulated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK) signaling pathway, adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase/unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 (AMPK/ULK1) signaling pathway, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and forkhead box O1 (FoxO1) and Ras guanosine triphosphatease superfamily member Rab11a, each of which is referred to as microRNA-21-5p (miR-21-5p) target gene having a role in regulating autophagy activity in many diseases. In this paper, the above-mentioned signaling pathways of miRNA-21-5p target genes regulating autophagy were reviewed in order to find clues about the mechanism of miRNA-21-5p regulating autophagy in HALI and provide a theoretical basis for subsequent basic research.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of lenalidomide plus rituximab in treatment of the patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Methods The clinical data of the patients with relapsed/refractory B-NHL after the varieties of treatment methods in Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2015 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with R2 regimen: oral lenalidomide (25 mg/d for day 1-day 21) and rituximab (375 mg/m2 of intravenous infusion on day 1, 28-day of each cycle); the efficacy was evaluated after three cycles. After this induction phase, the patients achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) were given R2 regimen until the end of 8 cycles. The major end point was overall response rate (ORR) defined as CR + PR. Secondary end point included 1-year progression free survival (PFS), 1-year overall survival (OS) and grade 3-4 adverse events. T cell and B cell subsets of 7 patients at baseline were measured, and T cell and B cell subsets of 13 patients with good efficacy were dynamically observed. Results A total of 49 patients who received 1-4 chemotherapy regimens were included. The ORR after the R2 treatment for 3 courses was 65% (32/49). Thirty-six patients (9 cases of CR, 22 cases of PR, 5 cases of SD) were enrolled in R2 maintenance treatment. The median follow-up time was 13 months, 1-year PFS rate was 61% and 1-year OS rate was 84% . The most common adverse event was bone marrow suppression, including grade 3-4 neutropenia (27% ), grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia (6% ) and grade 4 anemia (4% ), most of which could be controlled by prolonging interval cycles or reduced lenalidomide dosage. The decreased number of CD19+B cell after treatment could be seen in 13 patients who obtained good efficacy under the dynamic observation. Conclusion Lenalidomide plus rituximab is well tolerated and highly active in the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-NHL.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and outcomes of patients with light-chain (AL) amyloidosis with an ultra-high level of serum free light-chain (FLC) .Methods:Five hundred and ninety-five patients with AL amyloidosis were retrospectively reviewed between January 2009 and January 2020 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. We analyzed the clinical features and prognosis of patients with ultra-high FLC levels [difference between involved and uninvolved light chains (dFLC) >500 mg/L; n=124] and those without ultra-high FLC levels (dFLC≤500 mg/L; n=471) . Results:Patients with ultra-high FLC presented with more frequent cardiac involvement (82.3% vs 70.1%, P=0.007) , and a higher percentage of patients with 2004 Mayo Ⅲ stage (41.8% vs 33.8%, P=0.029) , but less frequent renal involvement than patients without an ultra-high FLC (59.7% vs 71.8%, P=0.009) . Patients with an ultra-high FLC achieved a lower proportion of hematologic (72.4% vs 82.3%, P=0.048) and cardiac response (37.3% vs 54.7%, P=0.016) and had shorter overall survival (13.0 months vs not reached, P<0.001) and a higher early death rate within 3 months (28.2% vs 11.3%, P<0.001) than those without an ultra-high FLC. Ultra-high FLC independently predicted worse prognosis in patients with AL amyloidosis ( HR=2.279, 95% CI 1.685-3.083, P<0.001) . Conclusions:Patients with an initially ultra-high FLC represented a subgroup with more common cardiac involvement, more advanced cardiac stages, and extremely poor prognosis.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of rumination between self-perceived burden (SPB) and stigma in stroke patients, so as to provide theoretical basis for the development of targeted nursing interventions in clinical practice.Methods:In September 2022, cluster sampling was used to select 1 126 stroke patients admitted to Department of Neurology of five ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province as subjects. General Information Questionnaire, Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), Stroke Stigma Scale (SSS), and Chinese Version of Event Related Rumination Inventory (C-ERRI) were used to investigate stroke patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between SPB, rumination, and stigma. AMOS 28.0 software was used to establish the structural equation model, and Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect.Results:A total of 1 126 questionnaires were distributed, and 1 026 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 91.12% (1 026/1 126). SPBS score of 1 026 stroke patients was (28.68±8.32), the SSS score was (40.53±9.48) and the C-ERRI score was (25.43±12.62). Pearson correlation analysis showed that SPB in stroke patients was positively correlated with stigma and rumination ( P<0.01), and rumination was positively correlated with stigma ( P<0.01). Bootstrap mediating effect test showed that rumination partially mediated the relationship between SPB and stigma in stroke patients, accounting for 55.15% of the total effect. Conclusions:SPB of stroke patients both directly affect stigma and indirectly affect stigma through rumination. Clinical nursing workers should promptly evaluate patients' SPB, pay attention to the mediating role of rumination, develop effective psychological intervention programs, implement personalized and targeted nursing measures, relieve patients' stigma, and improve treatment and rehabilitation compliance.

Objective:To investigate whether microRNA-21-5p (miR-21-5p) alleviates hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (HALI) through activating the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/serine-threonine protein kinase (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway by regulating apoptosis of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cell (AECⅡ).Methods:Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into normozone-controlled group, HALI group, PI3K/Akt signaling pathway inhibitor LY294002+HALI group (LY+HALI group), miR-21-5p overexpression+LY294002+HALI group (miR-21-5p+LY+HALI group), miR-21-5p overexpression+HALI group (miR-21-5p+HALI group), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)+HALI group by random number table method with 12 rats in each group. Animal models of HALI were prepared using 95% concentrations of oxygen. The animals in the normozone-controlled group were fed normally under normoxia. Transfection of lung tissue by miR-21-5p adeno-associated viral vector AAV6-miR-21-5p was performed by instillation of 200 μL titer (1×10 12 TU/mL) through a tracheal catheter 3 weeks prior to modeling. DMSO and LY294002 were administered via the tail vein at 0.3 mg/kg 1 hour before modeling. After 48 hours of modeling, carotid artery blood was collected to detect oxygenation index (OI) and respiratory index (RI), and real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect miR-21-5p expression. Lung tissue was collected, and the levels of inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukins (IL-6, IL-1β) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the ratio of pulmonary wet/dry weight (W/D) was determined, and the pathological changes of lung histopathology were observed under the light microscopy after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Each group was purified AECⅡ cells from 6 rats, the apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry, and the expression levels of phosphatase and tensin homologous gene (PTEN), and proteins from the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway were detected by Western blotting. Results:Compared with the normozone-controlled group, alveolar septal thickening and massive inflammatory cell infiltration were found after hyperoxia exposure, RI, inflammatory factors, lung W/D ratio, pathological score, AECⅡ cells early apoptosis rate, PTEN protein expression and phosphorylation level of Akt were increased, while OI and miR-21-5p expression were decreased, indicating the successful preparation of the model. After pretreatment, LY294002 could aggravate the pathological injury of lung tissue in HALI rats, RI, inflammatory factors and lung W/D ratio were further increased, and OI was further reduced compared with HALI group. At the same time, it could promote the AECⅡ cell apoptosis, further up-regulate the expression of PTEN, and reduce the phosphorylation of Akt. However, miR-21-5p pretreatment could negatively regulate PTEN, activate PI3K/Akt signal pathway, inhibit AECⅡ cell apoptosis, and reduce HALI, which was shown by the decreased level of inflammatory factors in miR-21-5p+LY+HALI group compared with LY+HALI group [TNF-α (μg/L): 100.33±3.48 vs. 116.55±2.53, IL-6 (ng/L): 141.06±3.70 vs. 161.31±3.59, IL-1β (μg/L): 90.82±3.69 vs. 112.23±2.87, all P < 0.05], RI, lung injury pathology score, lung W/D ratio, and AECⅡ cell early apoptosis rate were significantly decreased [RI: 0.81±0.02 vs. 1.05±0.07, pathology score: 0.304±0.008 vs. 0.359±0.007, lung W/D ratio: 5.29±0.03 vs. 5.52±0.08, apoptosis rate: (27.20±2.34)% vs. (34.17±1.49)%, all P < 0.05], OI and expressions of miR-21-5p were significantly increased [OI (mmHg, 1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa): 266.71±2.75 vs. 230.12±4.04, miR-21-5p (2 -ΔΔCt): 2.21±0.13 vs. 0.33±0.03, both P < 0.05], and PTEN protein expression in AECⅡ cell was significantly reduced (PTEN/GAPDH: 0.50±0.06 vs. 0.93±0.06, P < 0.05), and phosphorylation level of Akt was significantly increased [phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) protein (p-Akt/GAPDH): 0.86±0.05 vs. 0.56±0.06, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:miR-21-5p attenuates HALI by inhibiting AECⅡ cell apoptosis, possibly through negative regulation of PTEN to activate PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
