Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment combined with cisplatin on Lewis lung cancer mice and its mechanism based on the lncRNA H19/miR-19b3p/FTH1 axis.Methods Totally 60 SPF grade male C57BL/6 mice were randomly selected as blank group,and Lewis lung cancer mouse model was replicated in the remaining 50 mice.The modeled mice were randomly divided into model group,cisplatin group,and TCM low-,medium-and high-dosage combined with cisplatin group,with 10 mice in each group.The cisplatin group was given intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin 5 mg/kg,while the TCM low-,medium-and high-dosage combined with cisplatin group were given Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment 1.75,3.5,7.0 g/kg by gavage combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin 5 mg/kg,the blank group and model group were given equal volume of normal saline by gavage for 14 consecutive days.The general condition of mice was observed,the tumor mass of mice was measured,and the tumor inhibition rate,spleen index,and thymus index were calculated,HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of tumor tissue,and the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA),reduced glutathione(GSH),hydrogen peroxide(H2O2),and ferrous ions(Fe2+)were detected in the tumor tissue,immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expression of nuclear factor E2 related factor 2(Nrf2),glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),ferritin heavy chain 1(FTH1)and solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11)protein in tumor tissue,real time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA H19 and miR-19b3p mRNA in tumor tissue.Results Compared with the blank group,the body mass,spleen index and thymus index of mice in the model group were decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the mental state and tumor histopathological morphology of mice in each administration group were improved to different degrees,the tumor mass of mice was reduced(P<0.05),the spleen index and the thymus index of mice increased(P<0.05),tumor cell lysis,rupture,and decrease in quantity,the contents of MDA,H2O2,Fe2+in tumor tissue increased(P<0.05),while GSH content decreased(P<0.05),the expression of Nrf2,GPX4,FTH1,SLC7A11 protein in tumor tissue decreased(P<0.05),the lncRNA H19 mRNA expression decreased(P<0.05),miR-19b3p mRNA expression increased(P<0.05).Compared with the cisplatin group,the tumor mass of mice in TCM high-dosage combined with cisplatin group reduced(P<0.05),the body mass,spleen index and thymus index increased(P<0.05),the contents of MDA,H2O2,Fe2+in tumor tissue of mice increased(P<0.05),the content of GSH decreased(P<0.05),the expression of Nrf2,FTH1,SLC7A11,GPX4 protein expression decreased(P<0.05),lncRNA H19 mRNA expression decreased(P<0.05),miR-19b3p mRNA expression increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment combined with cisplatin can significantly inhibit the tumor of Lewis lung cancer mice,and its mechanism may be related to regulating the expression of ferroptosis molecules related to the lncRNA H19/miR-19b3p/FTH1 axis.

Objective To observe the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment combined with cisplatin in Lewis lung cancer bearing mice based on AMPK/ULK1 signaling pathway.Methods The mice were inoculated with Lewis lung cancer cells to establish a subcutaneous tumor model in the right axillary subcutaneous area,and were randomly divided into blank group,model group,cisplatin group and Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment high-,medium-and low-dosage+cisplatin groups,with 10 mice in each group.The cisplatin group received intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/kg(once every 7 days)cisplatin,while the Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment high-,medium-and low-dosage+cisplatin groups received gavage of 7.0,3.5 and 1.75 g/kg Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment on the basis of cisplatin group,once a day,for 14 consecutive days.HE staining was used to observe the morphology of tumor tissue,immunohistochemical method was used to detect the protein expression of p-AMPK and p-ULK1 in tumor tissue,transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the number of autophagosomes,RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of p62,Beclin-1,Atg5 and LC3 mRNA in tumor tissue,Western blot was used to detect the expression of Beclin-1,p62,Atg5,LC3 and AMPK/ULK1 signaling pathway proteins in tumor tissue.Results Compared with the model group,the tumor mass of mice in all administration groups decreased significantly(P<0.05);the tumor tissue showed patchy necrotic areas and an increase in the number of autophagosomes,the mRNA expressions of Beclin-1,Atg5,and LC3 increased,the protein expressions of Beclin-1,Atg5,LC3 Ⅱ/Ⅰ,AMPK,p-AMPK,ULK1 and p-ULK1 increased,and the expression of p62 mRNA and protein decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the cisplatin group,the tumor mass of mice in Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment high-,medium-dosage+cisplatin groups decreased(P<0.05),the tumor inhibition rate increased;the expressions of ULK1 protein and Atg5 mRNA in tumor tissue of Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment high-,medium-and low-dosage+cisplatin groups significantly increased(P<0.05),the expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3 mRNA in Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment high-,medium-dosage+cisplatin groups significantly increased(P<0.05),the expressions of Atg5,LC3 Ⅱ/Ⅰ,AMPK,p-AMPK and p-ULK1 protein significantly increased(P<0.05),and the expression of p62 protein significantly decreased(P<0.05),the expression of p62 mRNA in Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment high-dosage+cisplatin group significantly decreased(P<0.05),the expression of Beclin-1 protein significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Guiqi Yiyuan Ointment combined with cisplatin may activate autophagy and inhibit subcutaneous tumor growth in Lewis lung cancer bearing mice through the AMPK/ULK1 signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and analysis of hearing status and characteristics of China civil aviation air traffic controllers(ATC). METHODS With cluster random sampling, air conduction threshold data of 1498 ATC, who had finished the class Ⅲa medical assessment this year in a certain area were studied. The subjects were tested by pure tone audiometry, the prevalence rate of speech and high frequency hearing loss between gender groups were compared; After age correction, the threshold of different frequencies were compared between age groups. RESULTS The prevalence rate of hearing loss at speech frequency was 6.68% in male and 1.97% in female. The result of high frequency was 7.87% and 1.23% respectively. Both the threshold and prevalence rate of hearing loss of every frequency were higher in male(P<0.05); The threshold of 3000 Hz
