Objective To explore the clinical value of lymphocyte sub-population and NK levels in patients with primary lung malignant tumor and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods The percentage of CD3 +,CD4 +, CD8 +, CD19 + and NK cells were measured in 60 COPD patients and 50 primary lung malignant tumor patients and 40 normal control subjects using alkaline phosphatase antialkaline phosphatase (APAAP) assay, and CD4 +/CD8 + ratio was calculated. Results The levels of CD3 +,CD4 +,CD4 +/CD8 + and CD19 + cells were significantly lower in the patients with primary lung malignant tumor or COPD than those in the normal control subjects, which CD8 level was significantly higher (P0.05). No difference in the levels of CD3 +, CD4 + and CD8 + cells was found between the primary lung malignant tumor and COPD patients, but NK and CD19 + cells levels had significant difference(P

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Guben Fangxiao Beverage (固本防哮饮) for the prevention and treatment of chronic airway inflammation during asthma remission. MethodsThirty-six female Balb/c mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose of Guben Fangxiao Beverage group and montelukast sodium group, with 6 mice in each group. Except for the normal group, ovalbumin and respiratory syncytial virus were used in other groups to establish a mouse model of bronchial asthma in remission stage. After molding, the low-, medium-, and high-dose groups of Guben Fangxiao Beverage were respectively given 12, 24, and 36 g/(kg·d), the montelukast sodium group was given montelukast sodium granule 2.6 mg/(kg·d), and the mice in the normal group and model group were given 20 ml of double-distilled water, all by gavage, once a day for 28 days. The levels of interleukin 4 (IL-4) and interleukin 5 (IL-5) in the lung tissue of mice were detected; HE staining was used to observe the pathology of the lung tissue and to score the inflammation; DHE staining was used to observe the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the lung tissue, and the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ in the lung tissue were detected; the levels of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were detected; the protein expression levels of phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), haem oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) in the lung tissues of the model group were detected by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the histopathological results of the lungs of mice in the model group showed an increase in inflammatory cells around the airways and an increase in inflammatory score; DHE staining showed an increase in the level of ROS, and an increase in the levels of IL-4 and IL-5 in the lung tissues; the levels of serum SOD, CAT, and ATP were reduced, and the level of MDA was elevated; the activities of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ of the lung tissues were reduced, and the activities of p-AMPK, Nrf2, CREB protein expression decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the lung tissue inflammatory cells and inflammation scores of mice in each Guben Fangxiao Beverage dose group and montelukast sodium group were reduced; the levels of ROS, IL-4 and IL-5 in the lung tissue were reduced; the levels of CAT and ATP in the serum increased, and the content of MDA was reduced; and the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ and Ⅱ, as well as the expression of CREB protein, were elevated in the lung tissue (P<0.05). Compared with the high-dose group, the MDA level of the medium-dose Guben Fangxiao Beverage group decreased (P<0.05). The activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex V in the medium-dose group was higher than that in the montelukast sodium group, and the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex Ⅳ in the medium- and high-dose groups was higher than that in the low-dose group (P<0.05). ConclusionGuben Fangxiao Beverage can inhibit oxidative stress and improve mitochondrial function to relieve chronic airway inflammation in bronchial asthma model mice during asthma remission, and its mechanism may be related to the activation of AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Gastric cancer is one of the common malignant tumors worldwide, characteri-zed by poor prognosis. Currently, screening, diagnosis and postoperative recurrence monitoring for gastric cancer rely heavily on methods such as endoscopy, imaging and pathological examinations. However, traditional diagnostic approaches have limitations, including invasiveness and low sensi-tivity. Liquid biopsy techniques, with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection as a representative, can identify and analyze free DNA released into the bloodstream by tumor cells. Liquid biopsy is less invasive and requires smaller sample volumes. Furthermore, ctDNA detection allows for repeated assessments over time, enabling longitudinal monitoring of tumor burden and molecular changes. It has played a crucial role in guiding treatment selection, evaluating treatment efficacy, and monitoring recurrence in various cancer types. Based on the latest literature and clinical practice, the authors elaborate on the research progress of ctDNA detection in gastric cancer.

To revise GBZ 188 Technical Specification for Occupational Health Surveillance based on national laws, regulations, standards, specifications and legal documents of occupational disease, and combination with the actual situation in China. The main modifications are as follows: the occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to toluene (xylene may implement by reference), bromopropane, methyl iodide, ethylene oxide, chloroacetic acid, indium and its compounds, coal tar, coal tarasphalt, asphalt, β-naphthylamine, dust of metal and its compounds(tin, iron, antimony, barium and its compounds), hard metal dust, erionite dust, low temperature, laser, tick-borne encephalitis virus, Borrelia burgdorferi, and human immunodeficiency virus, for scraper or grind operators, and underground workers using squatting or kneeling position, crawling position, side-lying position, or shoulder position for a long period of time are included. The emergency health screening for workers exposed to arsenic, fluorine and its inorganic compounds, and acrylamide are included. The occupational medical examination (OME) for workers exposed to amino and nitro compounds of benzene, phosgene, monomethylamine, organic fluorine and dimethyl sulfate has been adjusted and made mandatory, with corresponding assessments required upon leaving the job. The special occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to mycobacterium tuberculosis and hepatitis virus is removed. The OME conclusion of reexamination is removed, and standardize recheck/additional inspection requirements. The optional items in OME performed before, during and after leaving post are removed, but the optional items in emergency medical examination are retained. Additional OME items are added. The Guideline for OME Summary Reports is added as informative appendix, and so on. The revised GBZ 188 Technical Specification for Occupational Health Surveillance is more scientific and practical.
