Lead is one of the most important occupational hazards in China, and occupational exposure is the leading cause of lead poisoning. Lead can be absorbed by the body through air, food, drinking water and skin, and accumulate in multiple organs in the body, posing health risks to humans, especially to lead workers. Many previous studies have shown that lead can affect the function of glial cells such as microglia, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, resulting in irreversible neurological damage. This article provides an overview of the neurotoxic mechanism induced by lead through glial cells, elucidates that lead can induce neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer′s disease, Parkinson′s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and reviews the relationship between lead and glial cells, in order to provide reference for further research on the neurotoxic mechanism of lead on glial cells.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of anthropometric indicators in predicting cardiovascular risk in the population with metabolic syndrome(MS).Methods:A cross-sectional study was used to analyze the correlation between anthropometric measures and cardiovascular risk in subjects with MS. Cardiometabolic risk was assessed with cardiometabolic risk index(CMRI). Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis was used to assess the predictive power of anthropometric measures for cardiometabolic risk.Results:(1) The anthropometric measures [body mass index(BMI), waist-hip ratio(WHR), waist-to-height ratio(WtHR), body fat percentage(BFP), visceral fat index(VFI), conicity index(CI), a body shape index(ABSI), body roundness index(BRI), abdominal volume index(AVI)] in the MS group were significantly higher than those in the non-MS group( P<0.05). Moreover, there were significant differences in CMRI score and vascular risk between the two groups( P<0.05). (2) Logistic regression analysis showed that the cardiovascular risk was increased with the increases of BMI, VFI, WHR, WtHR, CI, BRI, and AVI after adjusting for confounding factors in the overall population, the non-MS population, and the MS population( P<0.05). (3) In the ROC analysis, the AUC values of BMI, VFI, and AVI were 0.767, 0.734, and 0.770 in the overall population; 0.844, 0.816, and 0.795 in the non-MS population; 0.701, 0.666, and 0.702 in the MS population, respectively. For the overall population and non-MS population, the optimal cut points of BMI to diagnose high cardiovascular risk were 26.04 kg/m 2 and 24.36 kg/m 2; the optimal cut points of VFI were 10.25 and 9.75; the optimal cut points of AVI were 17.3 cm 2 and 15.53 cm 2, respectively. In the MS population, the optimal cut point as a predictor of high cardiovascular risk in young and middle-aged men with MS was 27.63 kg/m 2, and the optimal cut point of AVI in women was 18.08 cm 2. Conclusion:BMI, VFI, and AVI can be used as predictors of cardiovascular risk in the general population. BMI can be used as a predicator of high cardiovascular risk in young and middle-age men with MS. AVI can be used as a predicator of high cardiovascular risk in women with MS.

OBJECTIVE To construct a comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs， and to provide a basis for drug selection and rational clinical use. METHODS Based on the Guidelines for the Management of Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation of Drugs （2021 edition for trial use）， a preliminary evaluation index system framework and an index preselection pool were initially formulated through literature analysis. The evaluation indices were then selected and modified by using the Delphi method. The weights of each index were determined through expert scoring and relevant calculations， thereby establishing a comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs. Referred to Quick Guideline for Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institutions， scoring detailed rules for clinical comprehensive evaluation indexes of anti-lung cancer drugs were formulated. The constructed comprehensive evaluation index system and scoring detailed rules were applied to conduct empirical evaluation of the anti-lung cancer drug pembrolizumab. RESULTS The constructed comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs included 6 primary indicators and 15 secondary indicators. The weights of the primary indicators were as follows： safety （18）， efficacy （38）， economy （15）， innovation （9）， suitability （10）， and accessibility （10）. The scoring detailed rules for the comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs had been preliminarily established. The results of empirical evaluation showed that the comprehensive evaluation score （61 points） of pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy regimen was higher than that of the monotherapy chemotherapy regimen （56 points）. The former demonstrated superior efficacy， innovation and suitability compared to the latter， while the latter exhibited better safety and economy. CONCLUSIONS The constructed comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs has the potential for generalizability and practical application， providing a reference basis for rational clinical drug use.
