Objective: To study the effect of nano hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (nano-HBOC) on radiosensitivity of lung cancer H385 cells. Methods: Using 95% N and 5% CO , a lung cancer cell line was constructed in a hypoxic environment, and H385 cells were treated with different concentrations of nano-HBOC and irradiated (4Gy) by an irradiator, and the IC50 concentration was calculated. The cells were detected by flow cytometry (reactive oxygen species, ROS) ROS test. Using GEO database, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was carried out to predict possible pathways. The levels of lipid peroxidation and Fe were observed by fluorescence microscope, and the proteins related to iron death pathway were detected by Western-blot. Results: Compared with the control cells, the activity and density of the cells were significantly decreased by nano-HBOC combined with radiotherapy, with a notable proportion of cells exhibiting deteriorated status. There is a positive correlation between ROS level and nano-HBOC concentration, especially after radiotherapy. Radiotherapy combined with nano-HBOC significantly increased the levels of lipid peroxidation and Fe in H385 cells, while decreasing the levels of iron death pathway proteins slc7a11 and GPX4, and increasing the level of ACSL4. Conclusion: Nano-HBOC enhances the radiosensitivity of lung cancer H385 cells.

Objective:To understand the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of residents in areas endemic for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and the factors influencing these aspects, to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of SFTS among residents in endemic areas.Methods:A multi-stage sampling method was used to select subjects for a questionnaire survey, and the collected data were analyzed and compared.Results:The awareness rate of SFTS-related knowledge among residents in the endemic areas of Qingdao was 14.38%, while the awareness rate of tick-related knowledge was 69.78%. The mean score for protective attitudes among residents in the endemic areas was 24.50±4.09, and the mean score for protective behaviors was 11.20±2.76. Among residents of different ages, occupations, and educational levels, comparisons of SFTS-related knowledge awareness rates ( χ2=293.553, P<0.001; χ2=495.216, P<0.001; χ2=677.272, P<0.001), tick-related knowledge awareness rates ( χ2=29.986, P<0.001; χ2=23.239, P=0.002; χ2=41.003, P<0.001), protective attitude scores ( H=52.094, P<0.001; H=33.446, P<0.001; H=81.715, P<0.001), and protective behavior scores ( H=52.344, P<0.001; H=28.465, P<0.001; H=67.061, P<0.001) showed statistically significant differences. Comparisons of these same factors among residents of different genders showed no statistically significant differences ( χ2=1.159, P=0.282; χ2=0.298, P=0.585; t=-0.808, P=0.419; t=-1.229, P=0.219). Comparisons of tick-related knowledge awareness rates among residents with different frequencies of outdoor work showed no statistically significant differences ( χ2=5.367, P=0.147); however, comparisons of SFTS-related knowledge awareness rates, protective attitude scores, and protective behavior scores among residents with different frequencies of outdoor work showed statistically significant differences ( χ2=117.010, P<0.001; F=4.127, P=0.006; H=56.280, P<0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that older age, lower educational level, and less frequent outdoor work were associated with lower protective behavior scores ( t=-3.479, P<0.001; t=4.861, P<0.001; t=-7.753, P<0.001). Conclusions:Residents in the epidemic areas of SFTS have a low level of knowledge, attitude and practice. Factors influencing protective behaviors include age, occupation, educational level, and frequency of outdoor work. Farmers are a group that requires particular attention.

Objective To evaluate the auxiliary diagnostic value of T cells spot test of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (T-SPOT.TB) for pulmonary and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis among the elderly. Methods A total of 173 elderly patients at ages of 60 years and older and with suspected tuberculosis that were admitted to People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region during the period from October 2022 through February 2024 were enrolled, and all patients underwent T-SPOT.TB, acid fast staining and GeneXpert MTB/RIF tests. The etiological tests of MTB served as a gold standard, and the diagnostic values of T-SPOT.TB, acid fast staining and GeneXpert MTB/RIF tests for pulmonary and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis were compared among the elderly patients. Results Of the 173 elderly patients suspected of tuberculosis, there were 44 patients definitely diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, 30 cases with extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, and 99 cases without tuberculosis. The sensitivities of T-SPOT.TB, acid fast staining and GeneXpert MTB/RIF tests were 86.5%, 27.0% and 54.1% for diagnosis of tuberculosis. The sensitivities of T-SPOT.TB were 86.4% and 86.7% for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, with an 80.8% specificity for diagnosis of tuberculosis. The sensitivities of GeneXpert MTB/RIF were 56.8% and 50.0% for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, with a 100.0% specificity each, and the sensitivities of acid fast staining were 31.8% and 20.0% for diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, with a 100.0% specificity each. In addition, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.836, 0.635 and 0.770 for diagnosis of tuberculosis with T-SPOT.TB, acid fast staining and GeneXpert MTB/RIF tests among the elderly patients, respectively. Conclusion T-SPOT.TB has a high auxiliary diagnostic value for both pulmonary and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis among elderly patients.

Objective:To preliminarily evaluate the effects and analyze the influencing factors of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in severe burn patients complicated with acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods:This study was a retrospective case series study. From January 2010 to December 2020, 79 severe burn patients complicated with AKI who received CRRT and met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University (the Third Military Medical University). The general data (the same below) of all patients were collected, including gender, age, body mass index, burn area, burn index, cause of injury, whether combined with inhalation injury, acute physiology and chronic health status evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score on admission, admission time after burn, and time of AKI after admission. The total efficacy of CRRT, including overall effective rate, complete effective rate, partial effective rate, ineffective rate, and deterioration rate, creatinine, urea, cystatin C, and fluid overload rate before and after treatment, in-hospital mortality, predictive mortality based on Baux scoring model, the most common cause of death, and length of hospital stay were recorded. According to the effect of CRRT, the patients were divided into effective group (42 patients) and ineffective group (37 patients). The general information of patients, the time to initiate CRRT after the occurrence of AKI, the duration of CRRT, etiology of AKI, AKI stage before CRRT initiation, CRRT mode, anticoagulant type, and in-hospital mortality were compared between the two groups of patients. The independent influencing factors for CRRT in severe burn patients complicated with AKI were screened. According to the etiology of AKI, the patients were divided into prerenal group (22 patients) and renal group (57 patients). The general information of patients, the time to initiate CRRT after the occurrence of AKI, the duration of CRRT, and total efficacy of CRRT (except for the most common cause of death) were compared between the two groups of patients.Results:Among the 79 patients, 73 cases were male and 6 cases were female, with age of (46±14) years, body mass index of (24.0±2.9) kg/m 2, total burn area of (69±26)% total body surface area (TBSA), full-thickness burn area of (44±25)%TBSA, and burn index of 57 (36, 76). There were 36 cases of flame burns, 19 cases of electrical burns, 16 cases of hydrothermal burns, 6 cases of explosive burns, and 2 cases of chemical burns. Thirty-nine patients were complicated with inhalation injury. The APACHE Ⅱ score was 16 (12, 18) and the SOFA score was 11 (5, 13) on admission. The patients were admitted to the hospital on 0 (0, 2) d after burn, and AKI occurred on 0 (0, 6) d after admission. The overall effective rate of CRRT was 53.16% (42/79), the complete effective rate was 30.38% (24/79), the partial effective rate was 22.78% (18/79), the ineffective rate was 31.65% (25/79), and the deterioration rate was 15.19% (12/79). The creatinine and urea of patients after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (with Z values of -3.26 and -2.54, respectively, P<0.05); there were no statistically significant differences in the cystatin C and fluid overload rate of patients before and after treatment ( P>0.05). The in-hospital mortality of patients was 17.72% (14/79), and the predictive mortality based on Baux scoring model was 75.10% (18.94%, 91.84%). The most common cause of death was multiple organ failure, and the length of hospital stay was 39.43 (11.52, 110.58) d. There were statistically significant differences in the full-thickness burn area, the duration of CRRT, and etiology of AKI of patients between effective group and ineffective group (with Z values of -1.99 and -2.90, respectively, χ2=5.58, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the other indicators ( P>0.05). The etiology of AKI and full-thickness burn area were the independent influencing factors for CRRT in severe burn patients complicated with AKI (with odds ratios of 4.21 and 1.03, respectively, 95% confidence intervals of 1.20-14.80 and 1.00-1.05, respectively, P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the cause of injury, overall effective rate of CRRT, total burn area, burn index, admission time after burn, time of AKI after admission, the time to initiate CRRT after the occurrence of AKI, and predictive mortality based on Baux score model of patients between prerenal group and renal group (with χ2 values of 12.59 and 5.58, respectively, Z values of 2.46, 2.43, -2.43, -4.03, -3.01, and -2.31, respectively, P<0.05). Before treatment, urea and cystatin C of patients in renal group were significantly higher than those in prerenal group (with Z values of -2.98 and -2.77, respectively, P<0.05), and the liquid overload rate was significantly lower than that in prerenal group ( Z=-2.99, P<0.05); after treatment, the cystatin C of patients in renal group was significantly higher than that in prerenal group ( Z=-2.08, P<0.05); there were no statistically significant differences in the other indicators ( P>0.05). Conclusions:CRRT can significantly improve renal function, avoid fluid overload, and alleviate renal injury in severe burn patients complicated with AKI. Prerenal AKI is the main independent influencing factor leading to ineffective CRRT.

[Abstract] [Objective] To establish a detection method for complement C3d-sensitized platelets. [Methods] Parallel detection of the same platelet sample under conditions of complement C3d sensitization and non-sensitization was conducted using microcolumn gel immunoagglutination inhibition assay technology. The supernatant obtained after the reaction between anti-C3d monoclonal antibodies and platelet samples was then reacted with C3d-sensitized red blood cells to observe whether agglutination occurs. Subsequently, this method was used to test samples from 22 clinical patients to determine whether their platelets were sensitized by complement C3d. [Results] The same platelet sample, after being sensitized with complement C3d, showed negative or weakened aggregation, which was determined as a positive result, whereas platelets that were not sensitized with complement C3d exhibited aggregation, which was determined as a negative result. A total of 22 clinical patient samples were tested, of which 16 were negative and 6 were positive. [Conclusion] A microcolumn gel immunoagglutination inhibition test was established to detect whether platelets are sensitized by complement C3d, which aids in the auxiliary diagnosis of complement-related immune diseases involving platelets.

Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect of anti-programmed death receptor 1(PD-1)/pro-grammed death ligand 1(PD-L1)and the characteristics of intestinal flora in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods A total of 81 NSCLC patients admitted to the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2020 to January 2022 were taken as the research object.According to the patients'immunotherapy response,the patients were divided into non-response group and response group.The differences in clinical data and intestinal flora distribution between the two groups were compared,and the correlation between PFS and intestinal flora a diversity index was analyzed by Spearman correlation.Results The proportion of smoking patients in response group was significantly lower than that in non-re-sponse group,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=4.648,P=0.031).Chao1 index,ACE index and shannon wiener index patients in non-response group were lower than those in response group,while Simpson diversity index was higher than that in response group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).Chao1 index,ACE index and shannon wiener index were positively correlated with PFS(r=0.526,0.579 and 0.539,all P＜0.05),while Simpson diversity index was negatively correlated with PFS(r=-0.867,P＜0.001).The principal coordinate analysis was used to analyze the β diversity structure of intestinal flora.The first principal component contribution rate was 70.36％,and the second principal component contribution rate was 16.63％.Conclusion The diversity and distribution of intestinal flora in NSCLC patients are related to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.The higher the diversity of intestinal flora,the more sensitive the anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of neutrophil CD64(nCD64)index as a novel biomark-er in the differential diagnosis of acute and chronic brucellosis.Methods A total of 38 patients with acute bru-cellosis and 48 patients with chronic brucellosis diagnosed in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autono-mous Region from February 2021 to July 2023 were included.Peripheral blood of the patients was collected and nCD64 index was detected by flow cytometry,and the correlation between nCD64 index and disease severi-ty was analyzed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the sensitivity and the specificity of nCD64 index in differentially diagnosing acute and chronic brucellosis.Meanwhile,Rose-Bengal Plate Test(RBPT)and Standard Tube Agglutination Test(SAT)were used as controls to evaluate the clini-cal diagnostic value of the three.Results The nCD64 index of acute brucellosis patients was higher than that of chronic brucellosis patients(U=216.00,P<0.001),and the index was positively correlated with the sever-ity of the disease(r=0.670,P<0.001).The ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve of nCD64 index in the differential diagnosis of acute and chronic brucellosis was 0.882(95%CI:0.811-0.952,P<0.001),the cut-off value was 2.81,and sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy were 83.3%,81.6%,80.4%,81.9%and 82.6%,respectively.The efficacy of nCD64 index in differential diagnosis of nCD64 index was significantly better than those of the qualitative tests of RBPT and SAT.Conclusion nCD64 index has favourable sensitivity and specificity in the differential diag-nosis of acute and chronic brucellosis,and tends to reflect the severity of the disease.It has clinical value in the differential diagnosis of acute brucellosis and chronic brucellosis,and plays an important role in the early diag-nosis and treatment effect monitoring of brucellosis.

Objective To explore the expression changes of Runt-related transcription factor 3(RUNX3)and junction adhesion molecule A(JAM-A)in cancer tissues of patients with triple-negative breast cancer and their correlation with disease prognosis.Methods Sixty patients with triple-negative breast cancer diagnosed in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2016 to March 2018 were select-ed as the study objects.Breast cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of patients were collected.Real-time fluores-cence quantitative PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to detect and compare RUNX3 and JAM-A transcription levels and protein levels in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues.The transcription and pro-tein levels of RUNX3 and JAM-A in cancer tissues of patients with triple-negative breast cancer with different clinicopathological characteristics were compared.The correlation between RUNX3 and JAM-A expression and poor prognosis in patients with triple-negative breast cancer was analyzed by Spearman correlation analy-sis.Results The transcription level of RUNX3 in cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues,and the transcription level of JAM-A was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues,with statis-tical significance(P＜0.05).The level of RUNX3 protein in cancer tissues of patients with triple-negative breast cancer was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues,and the level of JAM-A protein was signifi-cantly higher than that in adjacent tissues,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).There were statistically sig-nificant differences in RUNX3 and JAM-A transcription levels in triple-negative breast cancer patients with different tumor maximum diameter,TNM stage and lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).There were statisti-cally significant differences in RUNX3 and JAM-A protein levels among patients with triple-negative breast cancer with different tumor maximum diameter,TNM stage and lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that RUNX3 transcription and protein levels were negatively correlated with poor prognosis,while JAM-A transcription and protein levels were positively correlated with poor prognosis in pa-tients with triple-negative breast cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion RUNX3 expression is significantly down-regulated and JAM-A expression is significantly up-regulated in cancer tissues of patients with triple-negative breast cancer,and there is a certain correlation with patient prognosis.RUNX3 and JAM-A may be important regulatory factors in the occurrence and development of triple-negative breast cancer.
