Purpose:
Lung cancer is frequently observed as a second primary malignancy following gastric cancer, yet the genetic causality between them remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the causal relationship between gastric and lung cancers using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Materials and Methods:
Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with gastric and lung cancers were selected from genome-wide association study in East Asian and European populations as instrumental variables. The causal effects between gastric and lung cancers were evaluated using univariable and multivariable MR analysis, with the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method serving as the primary criterion. Heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses were performed to ensure the robustness of the findings.
Results:
Univariable MR analysis demonstrated that genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer in the European population was significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (IVW: odds ratio [OR], 1.285; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.072 to 1.541; p=6.83E-03), which was consistently validated in the East Asian population (IVW: OR, 1.356; 95% CI, 1.114 to 1.651; p=2.40E-03). Multivariable MR analysis further indicated that the significant positive causal relationship between gastric cancer and lung cancer persisted in both populations after adjusting for confounding factors (all p < 0.05). Conversely, no significant causal relationship was observed for the risk of developing gastric cancer following the diagnosis of lung cancer in either population (p > 0.05).
Conclusion
This study confirms that genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer increases the risk of lung cancer. This finding provides a theoretical basis for exploring the underlying biological mechanisms and suggests that enhancing lung cancer screening in patients with gastric cancer may be necessary to improve patient prognosis.

Objective:To estimate the scale,expenditure and financing structure of potentially preventable hospitalization(PPH)for diabetes in Shenzhen,and provide data support for improving the utilization efficiency of medical and health resources.Methods:The System of Health Account 2011 was used to calculate the status of PPH for diabetes in Shenzhen and its cost scale and structure.Results:In 2019-2022,there will be a total of 441 426 avoidable hospital admissions for diabetes,hypertension,angina,influenza and pneumonia and dehydration and gastroenteritis,which cumulatively account for approximately 70.00%of admissions.The cost of hospitalization could be avoided by 525 028.06 million yuan,accounting for 6.18%of the total costs.The out-of-pocket costs were 1 762.724 4 million yuan,accounting for 33.57%of the total avoidable hospitalization costs.The out-of-pocket payment of angina pectoris,gangrene and rheumatic heart disease were higher and the proportion of out-of-pocket costs was larger.Conclusion:The large scale of hospital can be avoided in Shenzhen,and the waste of medical resources caused by unreasonable hospitalization is serious.The level of primary health care should be improved,the behavior of doctors should be regulated,the role of intervention in diseases of key populations should be increased,and the system of reimbursement of health insurance should be optimized.

Sepsis is one of the common severe diseases caused by the dysregulated host response to infection, which seriously threatens the life and health of human beings all over the world. The incidence and mortality of the disease are extremely high, and it has always been an urgent problem to be solved in the field of acute and critical diseases. At present, anti-infection, fluid resuscitation, mechanical ventilation and other programs are most used in clinic to treat sepsis, but their poor prognosis and high cost and other issues remain to be resolved. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a new, efficient, safe and inexpensive drug and treatment model at this stage. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on syndrome differentiation and holistic concept. It can effectively regulate the progression of sepsis, maintain the homeostasis of the body, and has fewer adverse reactions. It has achieved good clinical results. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that TCM can reduce the inflammatory response by regulating the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) signaling pathway, thereby reducing the severity and mortality of sepsis patients. However, there is still a lack of systematic exposition of TCM regulating TLR4 signaling pathway in the treatment of sepsis. Therefore, this article summarizes the relationship between TLR4 signaling pathway and sepsis and the mechanism of TCM in the disease by searching and consulting relevant literature in recent years. It is found that some Chinese medicine monomers and active ingredients, Chinese medicine compounds and Chinese medicine preparations can effectively reduce systemic inflammatory response, repair organ damage and improve the prognosis of sepsis by inhibiting the activation of TLR4 signaling pathway. However, due to various limitations, some studies have directly focused on the differential expression and function of TLR4, ignoring the downstream molecular expression and phenotypic effects of TLR4. The alternative mechanism, relationship and specific molecular mechanism of the pathway are still unclear. There are problems such as unclear pharmacokinetics and unclear mechanism in the pro- and anti-inflammatory balance, which need to be further studied and explored in order to provide new ideas for the potential treatment and drug development for sepsis.
