Objective:To analyze the results of next generation sequencing (NGS) gene testing in liquid-based cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma cavity and evaluate the clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment.Methods:Liquid based cytological specimens of 222 cases of lung adenocarcinoma with cavity effusion and 201 cases of metastatic lymph node biopsy were collected. Specimens were obtained from the Cytology Laboratory of the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The collection period was from January 2018 to December 2022. The results of NGS gene detection were compared. The clinical efficacy of 91 patients treated with EGFR-TKI was evaluated, and the survival curve was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and other statistical methods.Results:The mutation rates of cancer-related genes detected by NGS were 82.0% (182/222) vs 79.1% (159/201), ( P=0.455) in liquid-based cytological specimens and histological specimens of metastatic lymph node biopsy, respectively. However, the mutation rate of EGFR T790M was significantly higher in cavity effusion than in lymph node biopsy specimens [12.2%(27/222)＞3.5%(7/201), P=0.001]. The results of gene mutation were identical in 10 of the 13 cases with cavity effusion and metastatic lymph node biopsy, and the agreement rate of EGFR was 84.6%(11/13). In 3 inconsistent cases, EGFR mutations were detected in 2 cavity effusion cases that were not detected by lymph node biopsy. Results of genetic analysis of fluid-based cytological samples of 91 patients with cavity effusion were evaluated after drug treatment with EGFR-TKI. The mean progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients was 11.4 months (95% CI: 9.9-12.9). The mean PFS of patients harboring EGFR mutation was 12.3 months (95% CI: 10.8-13.9), and the mean PFS of EGFR wild type was 4.1 months (95% CI: 2.1-6.2). Conclusions:The results of NGS gene detection in liquid-based cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma patients with cavity effusion show that the PFS time is similar to that of histological specimens after clinical treatment with EGFR-TKI, which proves the reliability of NGS gene detection results in liquid cytological specimens. NGS gene testing appears higher sensitivity in cavity liquid-based samples than in metastatic lymph node samples.

Objective To explore the effects of Peiyuan Yishen Antai Decoction on cell senescence and decidualization of aged mice with recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA)based on P53/P21 signaling pathway;To discuss its mechanism in the treatment of RSA.Methods 8-9 month old CBA/J female mice were randomly divided into aging model group(normal saline 0.3 mL/d),Chinese materia medica group(18.72 g/kg)and dydrogesterone group(2.6 mg/kg).6-8 week old CBA/J female mice were assigned to a reproductive age blank group(normal saline 0.3 mL/d),with five mice in each group.After administering the corresponding solutions by gavage for 2 weeks,the reproductive age blank group mice were housed in cages with BALB/c male mice,while the remaining groups were housed in cages with DBA/2 male mice.After confirming the presence of vaginal plug,gavage was continued until the 9th day of pregnancy for sampling.Mice embryo loss rate was observed,HE staining was used to observe the morphology of uterine decidua,immunohistochemistry was used to detect the localization and expression of aging related protein Pi6INK4a in decidua tissue,RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of P53,P21,insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1(IGFBP-1)and prolactin(PRL)in decidual tissue.Results Compared with the reproductive age blank group,the embryo loss rate of the aging model group significantly increased(P＜0.05),the irregular endometrial cells were vacuolated,the number of glands and blood vessels was reduced,the expression of P16INK4a in decidual tissue significantly increased(P＜0.05),and the expressions of P53,P21 mRNA and protein significantly increased(P＜0.05),the mRNA and protein expressions of IGFBP-1 and PRL significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the aging model group,the Chinese materia medica group and the dydrogesterone group showed an decreasing trend in embryo loss rate in mice,the arrangement of cells in the decidua tissue was relatively neat,and the number of blood vessels and glands increased,the expression of P16INK4a in decidua tissue was significantly decreased(P＜0.05),the mRNA and protein expressions of P53 and P21 were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),while the mRNA and protein expressions of IGFBP-1 and PRL significantly increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Peiyuan Yishen Antai Decoction can improve the aging status of endometrial stromal cells in aged RSA model mice by regulating the P53/P21 signaling pathway,promote decidualization process,and thus exert a protective effect on pregnancy.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)is an insulin resistance disease.Improving insulin resis-tance and controlling blood glucose are the main means of clinical treatment for T2DM.Empa-gliflozin is a highly selective sodium-dependent glu-cose transporters(SGLT)2 inhibitor,which is inde-pendent of insulin.It can effectively control blood glucose levels,reduce blood pressure and body weight,protect heart and kidney function,reduce the rehospitalization rate and the risk of death in patients with heart failure(HF),and does not in-crease the risk of hypoglycemia.Empagliflozin can be used alone or in combination with other hypo-glycemic drugs to control blood glucose.This arti-cle reviews the mechanism of action,clinical bene-fits,and combination with other drugs of empa-gliflozin,aiming to provide reference for the clinical use of empagliflozin.

Objective To investigate the research competency among undergraduate interns of rehabilitation therapy.Methods In July,2024,a total of 81 undergraduate rehabilitation therapy interns from Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were self-rated the research competency,using research com-petency and activities,level 1 of World Health Organization rehabilitation competency framework.Semi-struc-tured interviews were conducted to investigate the willingness and difficulties to participate in research.Results The self-rated competencies were the lowest in behavior of C2.3 Assists in assessing rehabilitation service user needs and priorities for research,and Activity of A2 Disseminating evidence.For interviews,72 students would participate in researches,primarily motivated by career advancement and postgraduate admission competition.The main difficulties included insufficient faculty mentorship(n=48),limitation in knowledge(n=43)and diffi-culties in formulating scientific questions(n=43).Conclusion Most rehabilitation therapy undergraduates would like to participate in researches,but are suboptimal in re-search competency due to personal and environmental constraints.

In recent years,patient-derived tumor organoid(PDTO)models have rapidly emerged as important tools in cancer research,thanks to their unique ability to preserve the characteristics of primary tumors.These models provide a reliable preclinical research platform for screening individualized chemotherapy and targeted therapies for patients.However,traditional PDTOs lack immune cells and cannot replicate the tumor immune microenvironment,which restricts their utility in evaluating immunotherapies.To address this challenge,researchers have developed composite models that incorporate both tumor cells and immune cells,known as patient-derived immunocompetent tumor organoids(PDITOs).PDITOs have shown excellent performance in the preclinical evaluation of immunotherapies,particularly with PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors,with some studies reporting up to 100％accuracy in predicting patient responses to immunotherapy.As a common malignancy of the urinary system,bladder cancer has benefited from the application of PDITOs in drug screening and personalized immunotherapy evaluation,demonstrating significant potential.This paper aims to review the rise and development of PDITOs,and compare the advantages and limitations of using different methods to construct PDITOs,so as to explore their application in the treatment of bladder cancer.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of Xuanfei Baidu Decoction (XFBD) in a mouse model of dampness-heat toxin pneumonia. By exploring how XFBD exerts its effects, we seek to deepen our understanding of its role in treating pulmonary diseases and to address the current knowledge gap regarding its mechanisms of action, thereby supporting its clinical application. Methods: Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) were employed to analyze the chemical constituents of XFBD. The protective effects of XFBD were evaluated using a dampness-heat toxin-induced mouse model, established through dampness-heat exposure and HCoV-229E infection. XFBD was administered orally, followed by assessments including lung index measurement, micro-CT imaging, viral load quantification, cytokine analysis, and histological evaluation via hematoxylin-eosin staining. Proteomics and single-cell transcriptomic analyses were conducted to explore the potential mechanisms underlying XFBD’s pharmacological effects. A cellular model of HCoV-229E infection was developed to investigate changes in the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. Molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experiments confirmed the strong binding affinity between key XFBD components and PKA. Finally, PKA activators and inhibitors were applied in vitro to validate these mechanistic findings. Results: In vivo studies demonstrated that XFBD significantly reduced the lung index, improved the structural integrity of lung and tongue tissues, and decreased levels of proinflammatory mediators, including IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α. Proteomic and single-cell transcriptomic analyses showed that the differentially expressed proteins after XFBD treatment were primarily associated with inflammatory responses and immune regulation. The cAMP/PKA signaling pathway was identified as a key mechanism underlying these therapeutic effects. Notably, Western blot, ELISA, molecular docking, and SPR analyses confirmed that XFBD elevated cAMP levels and p-PKA expression, thereby activating the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in vitro. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that XFBD significantly alleviates symptoms in mice with dampness-heat toxin pneumonia. Its therapeutic effects are mediated, at least in part, through activation of the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. These findings provide compelling evidence that XFBD is an effective herbal remedy against HCoV-229E infection.

Background: The global rise in visual impairment, driven by population aging, the increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic diseases, and environmental factors, has made it a critical public health concern, highlighting the urgent need for effective preventive strategies and eye health maintenance. Cuscutae Semen (CS), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine long regarded for its vision-enhancing properties, has been widely used to support ocular health. However, its underlying molecular mechanisms and bioactive constituents remain poorly understood, limiting its modernization and broader clinical application. Objective: This study aims to investigate the restorative effects of CS on visual impairment, elucidate its underlying mechanisms, and identify potential active components. Methods: A zebrafish model of visual impairment was established using mepanipyrim to simulate retinal structural damage and visual dysfunction. The therapeutic effects of CS were systematically evaluated through behavioral analyses and histomorphological observations. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, an integrated approach was employed, combining transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq), reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction validation, and immunofluorescence staining to identify critical genes and pathways involved. Furthermore, macroporous resin column chromatography was employed for the fractionation and screening of potential active components. Results: CS treatment significantly alleviated mepanipyrim-induced ocular abnormalities in zebrafish, restoring approximately 82% of the observed morphological defects. Behavioral assessments revealed that CS-treated zebrafish exhibited markedly increased swimming speed and distance, indicating enhanced visual light sensitivity. Histopathological analysis demonstrated that CS effectively repaired the structure of retinal cell layers. RNA-seq revealed that CS broadly reversed mepanipyrim-induced gene expression disturbances, suggesting a restorative effect on transcriptomic homeostasis. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis identified the phototransduction pathway as a key mediator of CS’s therapeutic effects. This was further supported by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction validation of critical genes and immunofluorescence staining, which confirmed the restored expression of Pde6a and Gnat2, key proteins involved in photic signal transmission. Active component screening indicated that high-polar constituents, including chlorogenic acid, may constitute one of the major bioactive fractions responsible for the observed therapeutic effects. Conclusion: This study provides evidence of the vision-protective effects of CS in a zebrafish model, demonstrating that its therapeutic mechanism involves modulation of the phototransduction pathway. Chlorogenic acid was identified as one of the key bioactive constituents contributing to this effect. These findings not only provide scientific validation for the traditional use of CS in ocular protection but also present promising therapeutic prospects for the prevention and treatment of visual impairment.

Objective This study examined the association between smoking and cognitive decline through a cohort in rural population in Xi'an.Methods Data were collected from the cognitive impairment cohort of middle-aged and elderly people in rural areas of Xi'an.The cohort selected the population aged 40 years and above in rural Xi'an.The baseline survey was completed between October 2014 and March 2015,and two follow-up visits were conducted in 2016 and 2018.This study took the baseline cognitively normal population of this cohort as the research subjects.According to the survey results in 2018,the population was divided into three groups according to smoking status:smoking,quitting and non-smoking.Cognitive function was assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE).△MMSE(2014 rating-2018 rating)≥2 was defined as cognitive decline,and △MMSE＜2 was defined as cognitive stability.Binary Logistic regression model and stratified analysis were used to analyze the relationship between smoking and cognitive decline and the influence of age on the relationship.Results A total of 1 289 subjects were included in this study.According to smoking status in 2018,they were divided into non-smokers(910,70.6％),smokers(335,26.0％),and ex-smokers(44,3.4％).In the total population,there was no significant difference in the incidence of cognitive decline among non-smokers,smokers and ex-smokers(17.3％vs.16.1％vs.15.9％,P=0.880).When stratified by age,there was no significant difference in the incidence of cognitive decline among the three groups in the subgroup of age＜65 years(16.5％vs.13.2％vs.12.1％,P=0.365).In the subgroup of age≥65 years,no significant difference was found in the incidence of cognitive decline among non-smokers,smokers and ex-smokers(20.8％vs.30.9％vs.27.3％,P=0.306).After adjusting for confounding factors,smokers had a significantly higher risk of cognitive decline than non-smokers(OR=14.139;95％CI:1.541-129.705;P=0.019).There was a trend of cognitive decline in the ex-smokers group,but with no statistical significance(OR=8.252;95％CI:0.630-108.175;P=0.108).Conclusion Smoking is positively associated with cognitive decline in the elderly,suggesting that smoking may accelerate cognitive decline in this population.
