Objective To study the effect of corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC) of infarction related artery on systolic function of infarct area of myocardium after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods One hundred and six patients with AMI having undergone successful PCI in Cangzhou Central Hospital were selected, and they were divided into two groups (each, 53 cases). The standard of fast or slow flow was in accord to the CTFC of infarction related artery (IRA) measured soon after successful PCI. The patients with greater value of CTFC were enrolled in the slow flow group, while the patients with smaller such value were assigned in the fast flow group. At 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after PCI, the venous plasma MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) level was measured. And at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after PCI, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured by cardiac ultrasound, and the levels of radial strain (RS) and longitudinal strain (LS) of the infarct area were measured via speckle tracking imaging (STI). The differences in CTFC, CK-MB, RS and LS between the two groups were analyzed, and the correlations between the strains and CTFC, CK-MB were analyzed by Pearson linear correlation method. Results After successful PCI, the CK-MB of fast flow group was higher than that of the slow flow group at 6 hours. However, the CK-MB of slow flow group was higher than that of the fast flow group after 12 hours, appearing separate phenomenon, and the statistical significance occurred beginning from 24 hours after PCI (U/L, 24 hours:98.43±11.65 vs. 86.43±18.97, 48 hours:51.09±8.94 vs. 49.80±6.92, both P<0.05). CTFC in fast flow group was significantly lower than that of slow flow group (frame: 22.69±4.83 vs. 26.14±5.67, P < 0.01). After 3 months of follow-up, LVEF in fast flow group was higher than that of the slow flow group, but the difference had no significance (P > 0.05). RS and LS in fast flow group were higher than those in slow flow group, and the statistically significant difference appeared from 1 month after PCI (1 month RS:29.74±6.66 vs. 26.86±5.61, LS:-16.37±3.91 vs. -15.27±3.22, 3 months RS: 30.03±6.31 vs. 27.63±5.67, LS: -17.74±3.96 vs. -15.75±4.17, all P < 0.05). Pearson linear correlation showed:the strains (both RS and LS) and CK-MB had no significant relation (both P>0.05). Both RS and LS at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months were of significantly positive correlation with CTFC of each group (fast flow group:r value of CTFC and RS was respectively-0.526,-0.515,-0.532, r value of CTFC and LS was respectively-0.532,-0.541,-0.572;slow flow group:r value of CTFC and RS was respectively-0.691,-0.685,-0.702, r value of CTFC and LS was respectively-0.621,-0.584,-0.605, all P<0.01). Conclusion CTFC has some relationship with the recovery of the systolic function in area of infarct myocardium after PCI, and can be regarded as an important index to predict the long-term prognosis in patients with AMI.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, and standard treatments for lung cancer, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, have shown significant clinical effects. However, current available treatment strategies are still unable to cure the disease. Since the majority of lung cancer patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, surgical options are often lost, and the primary approach is typically a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, the adverse reactions associated with these treatments limit their effectiveness and application, and the damage caused to normal tissues is often more severe than that inflicted on the tumor. Currently, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used as part of combination therapy for cancer treatment due to its unique system of syndrome differentiation, flexible compatibility, and safety and efficacy. TCM prescriptions and single drugs with multiple components and targets can simultaneously regulate multiple pathways. As reported, among numerous pathways involved in the regulation of lung cancer, the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway plays a key role in inducing cell transcription and is one of the main pathways involved in the occurrence and development of lung cancer. It can specifically regulate inflammatory responses, cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis, angiogenesis, and multidrug resistance in lung cancer. TCM prescriptions and single drugs can inhibit lung cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, induce apoptosis and autophagy in lung cancer cells, suppress angiogenesis, regulate immune function, and treat multidrug resistance by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway. Therefore, they play a role in intervening in lung cancer. However, there is currently a lack of systematic literature research that comprehensively summarizes and elucidates these aspects in China and abroad. Therefore, it is important to provide a systematic elucidation of the mechanism underlying the regulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway in lung cancer and review TCM interventions in lung cancer based on the NF-κB signaling pathway. This study is expected to provide references for the clinical application of lung cancer therapeutic drugs and the development of new drugs.
