Objective To analyze the correlation of inflammatory indicators of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio(MLR),and systemic immune-inflammation index(SII)with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types and Chinese version of Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System(C-TIRADS)classification and properties of nodules in the patients with thyroid nodules(TN),thus to provide evidence for guiding TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment,and for assessing C-TIRADS classification and properties of the nodules in patients with TN.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 140 inpatients who were diagnosed as TN and had underwent thyroidectomy during the period of January 2021 to January 2024 in the Department of General Surgery of Guangzhou Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine(Guangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional and West Medicine).The patients were allocated to various group with reference to TCM syndrome types,C-TIRADS classification,and the properties of TN.The correlation of each clinical indicator with TCM syndrome types and C-TIRADS classification and properties of TN was analyzed.The Spearman correlation coefficient was employed for evaluating the correlation of clinical indicators with the C-TIRADS classification and properties of TN,receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was used to analyze the predictive value of NLR,MLR,PLR,and SII for the properties of nodules in patients with TN,and the Youden's Index was used to determine the cutoff value for optimal prediction.Results(1)According to the criteria of TCM syndrome differentiation,72 cases were differentiated as qi stagnation and phlegm obstruction syndrome,65 cases as phlegm accumulation and blood stasis syndrome,and 3 cases as heart-liver yin deficiency syndrome.For the number of cases of heart-liver yin deficiency syndrome was too small,only the first two syndromes were included for the analysis.(2)The levels of free T3(FT3)and free T4(FT4)in the patients of qi stagnation and phlegm obstruction syndrome were higher,and the levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody(A-TPO),anti-thyroglobulin antibody(A-TG),neutrophil(NEU),NLR,and SII were lower than those in the patients of phlegm accumulation and blood stasis syndrome,the differences being all statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(3)The levels of NLR,PLR,and SII in the patients with C-TIRADS3 classification were lower than those in the patients with C-TIRADS4 classification,the differences being all statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01);no statistically significant difference of MLR was presented between the patients with C-TIRADS3 classification and those with C-TIRADS4 classification(P>0.05).(4)The levels of NLR,PLR,MLR,and SII in patients with benign nodules were lower than those in patients with malignant nodules,the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(5)The Spearman correlation analysis showed that NLR,PLR,and SII were positively correlated with the C-TIRADS classification of the nodules,and NLR,PLR,MLR,and SII were positively correlated with the properties of the nodules,the differences being all statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(6)The levels of NLR,MLR,PLR,and SII in patients with high-risk TN exerted a certain predictive value for the properties of the nodules,and their area under the curve(AUC)was 0.645,0.641,0.604,and 0.716,respectively,the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01).For the prediction of nodule properties by NLR,MLR,PLR,and SII levels in patients with high-risk TN,their cutoff values and the corresponding sensitivities and specificities were 2.261(0.551,0.791),138.108(0.735,0.527),5.132(0.714,0.495),493.114(0.776,0.615),respectively;and their Youden's Index was 0.342,0.262,0.209,0.391,respectively.Conclusion The results indicated that in patients with TN,the FT3 and FT4 levels are positively correlated with the qi stagnation and phlegm obstruction syndrome;the values of A-TPO,A-TG,NEU,NLR,and SII are positively correlated with the phlegm accumulation and blood stasis syndrome;NLR,PLR and SII values are positively correlated with C-TIRADS classification;NLR,PLR,PLR,SII values are positively correlated with malignant TN.NLR,MLR,PLR,SII values exert high efficiency for the prediction of the properties of nodules in patients with TN.

Background:Intestinal microbiota dysbiosis and impaired intestinal barrier,leading to bacterial translocation,are involved in acute pancreatitis(AP)exacerbation.Antimicrobial peptides participate in the regulation of intestinal microbiota,yet their changes and roles in the course of AP are unclear.Aims:To investigate the dynamic changes and significance of antimicrobial peptides in the ileum and pancreas among three classical AP models.Methods:Three AP mouse models were established by using cathelicidin plus lipopolysaccharide(CAE+LPS),sodium taurocholate(N-Tau)and L-arginine(L-Arg),respectively.The pathological changes of pancreatic and ileal tissues were observed and scored.Real-time PCR was applied to detect the expression levels of the proinflammatory cytokines,and antimicrobial peptides including lysozyme(LZM),secretory phospholipase A2(sPLA2),angiogenin 4(Ang4),regenerating islet-derived protein 3(REG3)family,β-defensin family,cathelicidin-related antimicrobial peptide(CRAMP),and glycoprotein 2(GP2)in ileum and/or pancreas.The association between expressions of antimicrobial peptides and the injuries of pancreas and ileum was analyzed.Results:Pancreatic and ileal injuries could be observed in all three AP models in different time points with various degrees.The pathological scores of the CAE+LPS and N-Tau models reached the highest level and then declined from 0-72 h,while those of L-Arg model progressively increased within 72 hours.Compared with the corresponding controls,the mRNA levels of LZM,sPLA2,and Ang4 in ileal tissue,and the mRNA levels of CRAMP,GP2,and β-defensins in pancreatic tissue,were generally downregulated in all three AP models(all P<0.05).CAE+LPS and N-Tau models showed a trend of initial decrease followed by partial recovery,while L-Arg model exhibited a gradual downregulation trend.The mRNA levels of REG3β and REG3γ in ileum upregulated and reached the peak at 48 h or 24 h and downregulated significantly at 72 h in all three AP models(all P<0.05);while in pancreatic tissue,both REG3β and REG3γ were generally upregulated in all three AP models(all P<0.05),but fell back in CAE+LPS and N-Tau models at 72 h.The mRNA levels of ileal β-defensins upregulated significantly in the early stage of the disease(12 h)in all three AP models(all P<0.05),and then gradually decreased.Spearman correlation coefficient analysis showed that the expressions of ileal LZM,sPLA2,and Ang4,as well as the pancreatic CRAMP,GP2,and β-defensins,were significantly negatively correlated with the pancreatic and ileal pathological scores in all three AP models(all P<0.05);but the expression of REG3β in the pancreas was significantly positively correlated with the pancreatic and ileal pathological scores(all P<0.05).Conclusions:The expressions of LZM,sPLA2,and Ang4 in the ileum,as well as the expressions of CRAMP,GP2,β-defensin family,and REG3β in the pancreas of the three classical AP models,dynamically changed with the severity of the disease.Ileal and pancreatic antimicrobial peptides may affect the injuries of pancreas and intestine during AP by regulating intestinal microbiota.

Objective:To understand the influence of unhealthy lifestyle on diabetic dyslipidemia and the key influencing factors in occupational population and provided scientific evidence for the prevention of diabetic dyslipidemia.Methods:Based on baseline data and follow-up data of Southwest Occupational Population Cohort from China Railway Chengdu Group Co., Ltd. during 2021. Diabetic dyslipidemia was defined as diabetes plus one or more forms of dyslipidemia, and unhealthy lifestyle factors included smoking, alcohol consumption, unhealthy dietary patterns, low physical activity, and abnormal BMI. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between unhealthy lifestyle scores and diabetic dyslipidemia, network analysis was used to find and explore the key lifestyles influencing glycolipid metabolism.Results:A total of 25 631 subjects were included. People with unhealthy lifestyle score 2 and 3 were 1.93 (95% CI: 1.31-2.86) times and 2.37 (95% CI: 1.60-3.50) times more likely to have diabetes with ≥1 forms of dyslipidemia than those with scores of 0; People with unhealthy lifestyle score 1, 2 and 3 were 1.98 (95% CI: 1.08-3.61) times, 2.87 (95% CI: 1.60-5.14) times and 3.95 (95% CI: 2.22-7.06) times more likely to have diabetes with ≥2 forms of dyslipidemia than those with score 0. Network analysis found that abnormal BMI and HDL-C were the "bridge nodes" that link unhealthy lifestyles with diabetic dyslipidemia. Conclusion:The higher the score of unhealthy lifestyle, the higher the risk for diabetic dyslipidemia, abnormal BMI and HDL-C are key factors influencing the association between unhealthy lifestyle and diabetic dyslipidemia.

Objective:To summarize evidence for physical activity management in cancer patients based on the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) approach for evidence synthesis in health care, providing a scientific basis for the clinical standardization of physical activity management in cancer patients.Methods:Literature was searched according to the "6S" pyramid model of evidence, using BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, JBI Evidence-Based Practice Database, Cochrane Library, global guideline websites, professional cancer association websites, and relevant Chinese and English databases for all evidence regarding physical activity in cancer patients. The search covered the period from February 13, 2018, to February 13, 2023. Guided by the JBI approach for evidence synthesis, two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature and extracted relevant evidence in accordance with clinical scenarios.Results:Thirty articles were included, comprising two guidelines, three expert consensuses, one evidence summary, 21 systematic reviews, and three randomized controlled trials. A total of 29 best evidence points were summarized in six aspects: benefits of physical activity, physically active people, pre-activity assessment, implementation of physical activity programs, safety monitoring of physical activity, and ongoing support strategies.Conclusions:This study supplements and updates 15 pieces of evidence based on existing evidence, ultimately forming a best evidence summary for the management of physical activity in cancer patients, providing evidence-based support for clinical management. Most evidence comes from international studies. It is recommended that Chinese researchers consider the activity ability and willingness of cancer patients when applying these findings in future research, and consider the specific clinical context, or conduct foundational research to further validate the evidence, to comprehensively improve the quality of life of cancer patients.

Background:Acute pancreatitis can induce intestinal barrier dysfunction in its early phase,which is closely related with the progression and prognosis of the disease. Intestinal mucus layer not only serves as a physical barrier between pathogens and epithelium,but also plays a critical role in the maintenance of intestinal barrier function. Aims:To investigate the expression and role of mucin 2 (MUC2)in injured intestinal barrier in rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Methods:Forty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups:the sham operation (SO)group and ANP group,which were induced via a retrograde injection of 3. 5% sodium taurocholate into biliopancreatic duct. Blood,pancreas and colon samples were obtained 6,12 and 24 hours after establishing the ANP model for determination of serum amylase and D-lactate (an indicator of intestinal permeability)and histopathological examination. PAS/ AB staining was used to observe the colon mucus layer and goblet cells,and the expressions of MUC2 and inflammatory cytokines in colonic tissue were detected by real-time PCR. Results:ANP models were successfully established. In ANP group,obvious colonic injury,increased intestinal permeability,thinner colon mucus layer,reduced mucin-containing goblet cells,down-regulated MUC2 mRNA and up-regulated tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β)and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)mRNAs were observed at each time point as compared with those in SO group (P < 0. 05). Spearman correlation coefficient revealed that MUC2 expression was negatively correlated with the intestinal permeability and expression of inflammatory cytokines in ANP group (P < 0. 05). Conclusions:Transcription of MUC2 is significantly down-regulated in colonic tissue of ANP rats,and might be associated with increased intestinal permeability and excessive expression of inflammatory cytokines in early phase of ANP.
