Objective :
To explore the factors influencing the efficacy of first-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors(EGFR-TKIs) in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced lung adenocarcinoma and to construct and validate a corresponding nomogram prediction model.
Methods :
A total of 220 patients with EGFR-mutated advanced lung adenocarcinoma treated with icotinib were enrolled and randomly divided into a training group(154 cases) and a validation group(66 cases) in a 7 ∶3 ratio. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify factors affecting the efficacy of first-generation EGFR-TKIs in the training group. A prediction model was constructed, and calibration curves and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves were plotted to validate the model′s performance.
Results:
In the training group, the objective response rate was 35.71%, the disease control rate was 77.27%, the median progression-free survival(PFS) was 12.5 months, the median overall survival was 18 months, the 2-year OS rate was 66.23%, and the PFS rate was 42.21%. Univariate analysis showed that brain metastasis, bone metastasis, TNM stage, differentiation degree, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), post-treatment p53 levels, p53 difference(Δp53), post-treatment cancer antigen gene(CAGE) levels, and CAGE difference(ΔCAGE) were associated with PFS(P2=4.429, P=0.351). ROC curve analysis in the training group showed that the nomogram model had a sensitivity of 80.00%, specificity of 77.53%, and AUC of 0.864 for predicting therapeutic efficacy, while the validation group showed a sensitivity of 74.08%, specificity of 71.43%, and AUC of 0.835.
Conclusion
Changes in lung cancer autoantibodies(Δp53 and ΔCAGE), TNM stage, and NLR are key factors influencing the efficacy of first-generation EGFR-TKIs in EGFR-mutated advanced lung adenocarcinoma. The nomogram prediction model based on p53 and CAGE demonstrates good predictive performance.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether there are differences in the efficacy of Gegen Qinliantang with different contents of Puerariae Lobatae Radix on the acute enteritis (AE) model mice and provide a scientific basis for the interpretation of Gegen Qinliantang in the treatment of "Xie Re Li". MethodsA total of 112 male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a blank group,model group,single Puerariae Lobatae Radix group,non-Puerariae Lobatae Radix group,regular dose Gegen Qinliantang group (regular dose group),half-dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group,and doubled-dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group, with 16 mice in each group. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the colon tissue. Western blot was employed to detect the expression of ZO-1 (a protein in the tight junction) and Occludin in the colon tissue, as well as the changes of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). ResultsCompared with the blank group,the DAI scores of the mice in the model group were significantly higher (P<0.05),and the histopathological sections of their colon tissues showed mucosal damage,glandular atrophy,disordered arrangement,and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltration,and the expression of ZO-1 and Occludin proteins in their colon tissues was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05,P<0.01). The expression of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β was significantly up-regulated (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the model group,the DAI scores of mice in all dosing groups decreased significantly (P<0.05),with the most significant effect in the regular dose group. After 7 d of drug administration,the regular dose group had the best impact on the repair of colonic mucosa in the AE mouse model. The regular dose group significantly down-regulated the expression of TNF-α (P<0.05) and significantly up-regulated the expression of ZO-1 protein (P<0.05). The doubled-dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group significantly down-regulated the expression of IL-1β protein (P<0.01),and there was no significant difference between all dosing groups and the model group in terms of the expression of Occludin protein. After 14 d of drug administration,the best effect on the repair of colonic mucosa in the AE mouse model was observed in the doubled dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group. All groups except the non-Puerariae Lobatae Radix group significantly down-regulated the expression of TNF-α (P<0.01). Meanwhile,the regular dose group and doubled-dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group significantly elevated the expression level of Occludin protein (P<0.01). The doubled-dose Puerariae Lobatae Radix group also significantly inhibited the expression of IL-1β protein (P<0.05) and up-regulated ZO-1 protein expression (P<0.05). ConclusionGegen Qinliantang can reduce the pathological damage of colon tissue, protect the barrier function and structure of intestinal epithelial cells, and reduce the expression of inflammatory factors, so as to achieve the therapeutic effect of AE model mice. When comparing the therapeutic efficacy of Gegen Qinliantang containing different Gegen contents, Gegen Qinliantang with the proportion of the original formula of Zhongjing was the most effective in AE model mice.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous condition with diverse phenotypes and endotypes. The emphysema phenotype, characterized by destruction of the terminal bronchioles and alveolar walls, is associated with more severe lung function impairment, heightened airway inflammation, and greater systemic dysfunction compared to other subtypes. Early diagnosis via biomarkers, signaling pathway analysis, and imaging, combined with targeted therapies, may improve patient outcomes. However, further research is needed to fully elucidate this phenotype. This review summarizes recent advances in the pathology, biomarkers, signaling pathways, and clinical management of the emphysema phenotype of COPD, aiming to enhance its recognition and inform future research.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy between social support and fear of dementia among middle-aged and elderly people in rural areas.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 271 middle-aged and elderly people from 5 rural villages in Hunan Province were selected as research objects by the convenient sampling method from January to March 2023. A questionnaire survey was conducted using General Information Questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale (GSES), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and Fear of Dementia Scale (FODS). Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between self-efficacy, social support, and dementia fear of dementia among middle-aged and elderly people in rural areas. The mediation effect was tested using the SPSS macro program Process 4.1.Results:A total of 280 questionnaires were sent out, and 271 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96.79% (271/280). The scores of GSES, SSRS, and FODS of 271 middle-aged and elderly people in rural areas were (22.86±6.94), (38.88±8.66) and (55.79±13.88), respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that social support was positively correlated with self-efficacy ( r=0.571, P<0.01), while fear of dementia was negatively correlated with social support and self-efficacy ( r=-0.368, -0.338; both P<0.01). Self-efficacy partially mediated between social support and fear of dementia, and the mediating effect was -0.111, accounting for 32.17% of the total effect. Conclusions:Self-efficacy partially mediates between social support and fear of dementia. Medical staff should pay attention to the improvement of self-efficacy of rural middle-aged and elderly people, provide continuous social support, and reduce the level of fear of dementia.
