Nuclear radiation exposure events and tumor radiotherapy are highly susceptible to a range of psychological, physiological and other health problems, which can seriously affect patients' quality of life. It has been shown that 87.5 % of tumor patients are exposed to varying degrees of radiation injury during radiotherapy. The treatment of radiation injury (RI) in modern medicine is limited to drug therapy, cell therapy, etc. Among them, the most chemical drugs cause many adverse reactions including fatigue, nausea, vomiting, etc., and there are very few drugs dedicated to the treatment of RI. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a rich natural medicinal resource, which has a wide range of pharmacological activities, multiple targets of action and minimal toxic side effects. Many studies have demonstrated that TCM and its compound preparations have enormous potential in the treatment of radiation induced comprehensive diseases. However, TCM is limited in clinical application due to its slow onset of action, complex active ingredients, and low bioavailability. Therefore, the article reviews the application, molecular mechanisms, and new dosage forms of TCM in the prevention and treatment of RI. On this basis, we will focus on discussing the development advantages and application prospects of the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to achieve highly efficient treatment of RI. This review aims to provide scientific and effective drug delivery strategies and basic theoretical support for the clinical effective treatment of RI with TCM, and further promote the innovative development of TCM.

Occupational pneumoconiosis (referred to as “pneumoconiosis”) caused by exposure to occupational dust is the most serious occupational disease in China. Biological monitoring on occupational populations exposed to dust is important for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of pneumoconiosis. Biological monitoring is a systematic engineering process that includes a series of processes such as biological samples selection, selection of biological monitoring indicators, and selection of detection methods. The biological samples for biological monitoring mainly include urine, blood, exhaled breath gas, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, saliva, sputum, and more. The indicators of biological monitoring involve multiple pathways such as oxidative stress, inflammatory response, collagen synthesis/degradation, phagocytic cell apoptosis, and pathways related to the formation of pneumoconiosis. Suitable detection methods need to be determined upon different biological monitoring indicators, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, high-performance liquid chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, etc. Currently, there is a lack of true clinically valuable biological monitoring indicators that can indicate the correlation between dust exposure and the hazards of occupational populations, and there are no systematic and complete biological monitoring methods reported. It is necessary to further standardize the biological monitoring process and search for specific biological monitoring indicators.

Silicosis is a common occupational disease, and its main characteristic pathological features are the formation of silicon nodules and diffuse pulmonary fibrosis. In the process of silicosis fibrosis, macrophages can be polarized into M1 macrophages and M2 macrophages. M1 macrophages play a pro-inflammatory role in the early stage of silicosis and release a variety of inflammatory factors, which is the core of inflammatory response. M2 macrophages promote inflammation resolution and tissue repair in silicosis fibrosis stage by secreting anti-inflammatory cytokines and pro-fibrotic mediators. M1/M2 polarization balance plays an important role in the occurrence and development of silicosis, and the regulation of macrophage polarization direction may play a positive role in the prevention and treatment of silicosis fibrosis. In this review, the role of macrophage polarization in silicosis fibrosis, the related signaling pathways regulating macrophage polarization in silicosis fibrosis, and the potential therapeutic targets based on macrophage polarization in silicosis fibrosis are reviewed, with a view to further strengthening the understanding of the mechanism of macrophage polarization in the pathogenesis and treatment of silicosis fibrosis.

Objective:To explore the effect of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibitor PD98059 on calpain-related proteins in the brain, and to understand the pathophysiological changes of calpain in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI).Methods:Forty-two rats were divided into sham operation (Sham) group ( n = 6), model group ( n = 12), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) control group ( n = 12), and PD98059 group ( n = 12) by random number table. The rat model of CIRI induced by cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA-CPR) was reproduced by transesophageal electrical stimulation to induce ventricular fibrillation. In the Sham group, only the basic operations such as anesthesia, tracheal intubation, and arteriovenous catheterization were performed without CA-CPR. The rats in the DMSO control group and PD98059 group were injected with DMSO or PD98059 0.30 mg/kg via femoral vein, respectively, 30 minutes after the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and rats in the Sham group and model group were given the same amount of normal saline. The duration of CPR, 24-hour survival rate and neurological deficit score (NDS) after ROSC were recorded. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining were used to observe the pathological changes of the cerebral cortex. The expressions of phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK), ERK, calpastatin, calpain-1, and calpain-2 were detected by Western blotting. The co-expression of p-ERK and calpain-2 was detected by double immunofluorescence. Results:There were no significant differences in the duration of CPR and 24-hour survival rate among all groups. In the model group, the nuclei of the cerebral cortex were obviously deformed and pyknotic, cells vacuoles and tissues were arranged disorderly, Nissl corpuscles were significantly reduced, NDS scores were also significantly reduced, level of ERK phosphorylation was increased, and calpain-2 protein was significantly up-regulated compared with the Sham group. There was no significant difference in the above parameters between the DMSO control group and the model group. After intervention with PD98059, the pathological injury of brain tissue was significantly improved, Nissl corpuscles were significantly increased, the NDS score was significantly higher than that in the model group [75.0 (72.0, 78.0) vs. 70.0 (65.0, 72.0), P < 0.05], the level of ERK phosphorylation and calpain-2 protein expression were significantly lower than those in the model group [p-ERK (p-ERK/ERK): 0.65±0.12 vs. 0.92±0.05, calpain-2 protein (calpain-2/GAPDH): 0.73±0.10 vs. 1.07±0.14, both P < 0.05], while there was no significant difference in the expressions of calpastatin and calpain-1 in the cerebral cortex among all the groups. Double immunofluorescence staining showed that p-ERK and calpain-2 were co-expressed in cytosol and nucleus, and the co-expression rate of p-ERK and calpain-2 in the model group was significantly higher than that in the Sham group [(38.6±4.3)% vs. (9.2±3.5)%, P < 0.05], while it was significantly lowered in the PD98059 group compared with the model group [(18.2±7.0)% vs. (38.6±4.3)%, P < 0.05]. Conclusions:ERK together with calpain-2 participated in CIRI induced by CA-CPR. PD98059 inhibited the expression of calpain-2 and ERK phosphorylation. Therefore, ERK/calpain-2 may be a novel therapeutic target for CIRI.

Objective To establish simple screening models for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the adult Blang population. Methods Based on the survey data of metabolic diseases in the Blang people aged 18 years or above in 2017, 2993 respondents were stratified by sex and age (at an interval of 5 years) and then randomly divided into modeling group with 1497 respondents and validation group with 1496 respondents. Related information was collected, including demographic data, smoking, drinking, family history of diseases and personal medical history, body height, body weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure, and related markers were measured, including fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose or blood glucose at 2 hours after glucose loading, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to establish the screening model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were used to evaluate the screening performance of established models versus existing models in the study population, and the DeLong method was used for comparison of AUC. Results Three screening models for NAFLD were established based on physical and biochemical measurements, i.e., simple noninvasive model 1 (age, body mass index, and waist circumference), noninvasive model 2 with the addition of blood pressure, and model 3 with the combination of hematological parameters (diabetes and ALT/AST). In the modeling group, the three models had an AUC of 0.881 (95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 0.864-0.897), 0.892 (95% CI : 0.875-0.907), and 0.894 (95% CI : 0.877-0.909), respectively, and there was a significant difference between model 1 and models 2/3 ( P =0.004 0 and P < 0.001); in the validation group, the three models had an AUC of 0.891 (95% CI : 0.874-0.906), 0.892 (95% CI : 0.875-0.907), and 0.893 (95% CI : 0.876-0.908), respectively, and there was no significant difference between the three groups ( P > 0.05). Based on the overall consideration of screening performance, invasiveness, and cost, the simple noninvasive model 1 was considered the optimal screening model for NAFLD in this population. Model 1 had the highest Youden index at the cut-off value of 5 points, and when the score of ≥5 points was selected as the criteria for NAFLD, the model had a sensitivity of 86.5%, a specificity of 79.7%, a positive predictive value of 50.3%, and a negative predictive value of 96.1% in the modeling group and a sensitivity of 85.6%, a specificity of 80.6%, a positive predictive value of 51.7%, and a negative predictive value of 95.8% in the validation group. Conclusion The NAFLD screening models established for the adult Blang population based on age and obesity indicators have relatively higher sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value, and this tool is of important practical significance for the intervention of NAFLD and its closely related metabolic diseases in this population.
