EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common type of lung cancer, with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) being the standard first-line treatment. However, most patients with NSCLC eventually develop resistance to EGFR-TKIs. Studies on the mechanism underlying EGFR-TKI resistance have driven the development of personalized and precision medicine. Current strategies to address resistance include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and novel drug treatments. Selecting the appropriate personalized treatment plan is crucial for improving the survival rate and quality of life of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Thus, this study provides a brief review of the current status and future perspectives in the treatment of EGFR-mutant NSCLC after progression on EGFR-TKI therapy.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of thyroid enlargement in school-age children in Tianjin. Methods School-age children were randomly selected in Tianjin to undergo thyroid ultrasound examination, and salt iodine, urine iodine, height, and weight tests. A questionnaire survey was conducted. Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to analyze the risk factors for thyroid enlargement. Results A total of 917 children aged 7-13 years in Tianjin were surveyed, with a thyroid enlargement rate of 4.03% and a median thyroid volume of 2.60 ml. There was a non-linear relationship between children's body mass index (BMI) and the incidence of thyroid enlargement in children (P=0.008), and a linear relationship between children's body surface area (BSA) and the incidence of thyroid enlargement in children (P<0.001). Being 9 years old (OR=3.728, 95%CI: 1.343-10.343, P=0.012), obesity (OR=3.886, 95%CI: 1.801-8.384, P=0.001), having lunch at school (OR=3.157, 95%CI: 1.497-6.658, P=0.003) and frequent consumption of preserved foods (OR=4.611, 95%CI: 1.643-12.945, P=0.004) were risk factors for goiter in children. Regular consumption of seaweed (OR=0.305, 95%CI: 0.100-0.927, P=0.036) was a protective factor for goiter in children. Conclusion The incidence of thyroid enlargement in children in Tianjin meets national standards. Obesity, eating lunch at school, frequently consuming pickled foods, and being 9 years old may be risk factors for thyroid enlargement in children. Eating seaweed or kelp regularly is a protective factor. At the same time, attention should be paid to the relationship between BMI, BSA, and thyroid enlargement rate in children..

Objective To explore the association between different levels of fluoride exposure and dyslipidemia in elderly people, and to analyze the influencing factors and their interactions. Methods A total of 1 143 elderly people over 60 years old were randomly selected from historical high water fluorosis areas and control areas in Tianjin. Logistic regression model and classification tree model were used to analyze the influencing factors of dyslipidemia, and to analyze the interaction between high fluoride exposure and relevant influencing factors on dyslipidemia. Results The prevalence of elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was 5.69% (65/1 143). There was a significant difference in the prevalence of high LDL-C in different fluoride-exposed areas (2 = 0.092,P = 0.762). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that high fluoride exposure (OR=2.306,95%CI:1.185-4.491) and abdominal obesity (OR=2.274,95%CI:1.299-3.978) were risk factors for high LDL-C, while type B personality (OR=0.529,95%CI:0.308-0.908) was a protective factor for high LDL-C. The results of classification tree model showed that abdominal obesity contributed the most to the prevalence of high LDL-C in the elderly, followed by high fluoride exposure and hyperglycemia. There was a significant multiplicative interaction between high fluoride exposure and abdominal obesity on dyslipidemia (OR=5.191,95%CI:1.609-16.745,P=0.006). Conclusion High fluoride exposure may increase the risk of high LDL-C, and there is a multiplicative interaction between high fluoride exposure and abdominal obesity on dyslipidemia.
5.Wumeiwan in Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis: A Review
Chinese Journal of Experimental Traditional Medical Formulae 2025;31(20):287-298
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic,chronic inflammatory disease of the colonic mucosa that originates in the rectum and is an important contributing factor in the development of clinical conditions such as small bowel obstruction and rectal cancer. In modern clinical treatment of UC,equal emphasis is placed on both Chinese and Western medicine,demonstrating certain advantages in inducing remission and preventing recurrence. Wumeiwan (WMW) originates from Article 338 of the Jueyin section in Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases during the Han Dynasty. The original text states that "for roundworm reversal,WMW is indicated. It is also used for chronic diarrhea". It is a well-established prescription for treating prolonged diarrhea and dysentery,with functions of regulating Qi and blood,unblocking the triple energizers,and clearing heat in the upper while warming the lower body. Studies have shown that WMW has favorable effects in the prevention and treatment of UC. This review summarizes research on the indications and pharmacological basis of WMW in treating UC,as well as its clinical applications and underlying mechanisms. Findings indicate that WMW,whether used as the original formula,modified,or in combination with chemical drugs,compound prescriptions,or acupuncture and moxibustion,can exert therapeutic effects by resisting oxidative stress,reducing inflammatory factor levels,inhibiting apoptosis,enhancing immune responses,regulating the intestinal microbiota,and suppressing signaling pathways such as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88),Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT),and Notch. These mechanisms provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of WMW in the treatment of UC.

Objective:
To analyze the unregistered treatment situation and its influencing factors among pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province from 2017 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for promoting the management of tuberculosis patients and optimizing disease prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
Data of pulmonary tuberculosis patients including demographic information, etiological results, and mortality status were collected through the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System Infectious Disease Reporting and Surveillance System and the Tuberculosis Management Information System. Pulmonary tuberculosis patients not matched in the Tuberculosis Management Information System were defined as unregistered treatment patients, and the unregistered treatment rate was analyzed. Factors affecting unregistered treatment among pulmonary tuberculosis patients were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 10 779 pulmonary tuberculosis patients were reported in Quzhou City from 2017 to 2023, including 7 700 males (71.44%) and 3 079 females (28.56%). There were 5 484 cases aged <65 years, accounting for 50.88%. Among them, 630 cases were unregistered treatment, with an unregistered treatment rate of 5.84% (95%CI: 5.42%-6.38%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed pulmonary tuberculosis patients aged ≥65 years (OR=1.829, 95%CI: 1.512-2.212) had a higher risk of being unregistered treatment than those aged <65 years; patients with non-local household registration (OR=5.710, 95%CI: 4.724-6.901) had a higher risk than local patients; and patients engaged in housework/unemployed (OR=2.001, 95%CI: 1.421-2.818) or other occupations (OR=2.396, 95%CI: 1.789-3.137) had a higher risk than farmers. The mortality of unregistered treatment pulmonary tuberculosis patients was higher than the registered treatment patients (26.67% vs. 5.02%),with a significantly elevated mortality risk (OR=7.147, 95%CI: 5.738-8.902).
Conclusions
The unregistered treatment rate among pulmonary tuberculosis patients was well controlled in Quzhou City from 2017 to 2023, but the elderly, patients with non-local household registration, and those engaged in housework/unemployed had a higher risk of unregistered treatment. It is recommended to improve medical and social security policies, strengthen health education on tuberculosis prevention, enhance treatment adherence, and reduce mortality risk.

Objective To measure the air-absorbed dose rate of gamma radiation in public areas for the situation of the local radiation environment. Methods Using a large-volume γ spectrometer system with a NaI(Tl) detector mounted on a UAV, we conducted large-scale airborne radiation monitoring in public areas in southwestern China, to measure the air-absorbed dose rate at a height of 1 m from the earth’s surface. Results The airborne radiation monitoring data were used to analyze the local radiation environment. The mean air-absorbed dose rate at a height of 1 m was 43.6 ± 12.9 nGy/h. Seven abnormal radiation points were detected, and two of them were located where construction was ongoing. At one of the abnormal radiation points, FH40G meter measurements showed that the air-absorbed dose rate at a height of 1 m was up to 22.0 μGy/h. Field soil samples were collected for HPGe γ spectrometer analysis: the 232Th radionuclide activity concentration was 96.0 kBq/kg, and the 226Ra radionuclide activity concentration was 9.9 kBq/kg. Conclusion Using the UAV-mounted large-volume γ spectrometer system with NaI(Tl) detectors for large-scale airborne monitoring is a fast and effective method for dragnet monitoring of the level of radiation in public areas.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) emergency management policy texts in China, reveal the characteristics, problems and improvement directions of Chinese medicine emergency management policies in China, and provide references and lessons for improving the level of Chinese medicine emergency management. METHODS Twenty-four TCM emergency management policy texts issued at the central level from 2016 to 2023 were coded and analyzed using Nvivo11 software to construct a three-dimensional analysis framework based on policy tools, stakeholders and policy strength. RESULTS In the policy tools dimension, the environmental type was the most (46.74%), the supply type was the second (31.80%), and the demand type was the least (21.46%); in the stakeholder dimension, there were more healthcare institutions (40.63%) and government departments (31.25%), and fewer healthcare workers (14.84%) and residents (13.28%); in the policy strength dimension, the overall policy strength was poor, and the differences in effectiveness across policy instruments and stakeholders were more significant. The cross-cutting results showed that there was a certain degree of mismatch in policy instruments, stakeholders and policy strength. CONCLUSIONS The use of supply-oriented policy tools is slightly lacking, and the use of policy tools should be optimized in a coordinated manner; the distribution of stakeholders is relatively unbalanced, and synergies among stakeholders should be enhanced; the overall strength of policies is poor, and the top-level design of relevant policies should be improved.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of deep hyperthermia combined with sintilimab and nab-PC (albumin-bound paclitaxel + carboplatin) regimen in the treatment of advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with driver gene negative and programmed death-1 receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression positive.Methods:A prospective case-control study was performed. A total of 84 advanced squamous NSCLC patients with driver gene negative and PD-L1 expression positive in Hebei Seventh People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were collected, and all patients were divided into the observation group and the control group according to the random number table method, with 42 cases in each group. The control group was given the treatment of sintilimab combined with nab-PC regimen, and the observation group was given deep hyperthermia on the basis of the control group. After 4 consecutive cycles of treatment, the short-term efficacy of the two groups was compared. The levels of serum tumor markers [carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA), cytokeratin fragment 19 (CYFR21-1)], and the positive expression rates of immunohistochemistry markers [p40, p63, and cytokeratin 5/6 (CK5/6)] before and after treatment were compared between two groups. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung cancer module (FACT-L) scores, the adverse reactions and the long-term survival of the two groups were compared.Results:There were 26 males and 16 females in the observation group, and the age was (59±11) years; there were 22 males and 15 females in the control group, and the age was (58±11) years. The objective remission rate and the disease control rate were 71.43% (30/42), 90.48% (38/42), respectively in the observation group, and 50.00% (21/42), 80.95% (34/42), respectively in the control group; the objective remission rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.04, P = 0.044); and there was no statistically significant difference in the disease control rate of both groups ( χ2 = 1.56, P = 0.212). The levels of serum CEA, SCCA and CYFRA21-1, and the positive expression rates of p40, p63, and CK5/6 in the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment (all P < 0.05); and the scores of physiological status, functional status, additional concern in FACT-L scores and the total score of the scale after treatment were higher than those before treatment (all P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions including thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, fever of the two groups (all P > 0.05). The median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 6.5 months (95% CI: 3.82-12.75), 5.1 months (95% CI: 3.14-12.26),respectively in the observation group and the control group, and the difference in the median PFS time was statistically significantly of both groups ( χ2 = 4.21, P = 0.040). The median overall survival (OS) time was 12.9 months (95% CI: 6.25-15.46), 9.7 months (95% CI: 4.74-13.02), respectively in the observation group and the control group, and the difference in the median OS time was statistically significantly of both groups ( χ2 = 4.43, P = 0.035). Conclusions:Deep hyperthermia combined with sintilimab and nab-PC regimen in the treatment of advanced squamous NSCLC with driver gene negative and PD-L1 expression positive can effectively reduce the serum tumor markers levels and positive expression rate of immunohistochemical markers, improve the quality of life of patients, and increase the short-term and long-term efficacy.
