Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is a common complication after lung transplantation, which severely impairs the long-term survival of patients. At present, effective therapeutic approaches remain lacking. Dysregulation of the lung microbiome acts as a pathogenic factor for a variety of pulmonary diseases. Accumulating studies have demonstrated that the compositional characteristics of the lung microbiome after lung transplantation are closely associated with CLAD. Therefore, this article reviews the definition of CLAD, characteristics of the lung microbiome, the influence of the lung microbiome on the occurrence and progression of CLAD, the potential mechanisms underlying the lung microbiome in the pathogenesis of CLAD, and microbiome-based intervention strategies for CLAD. It aims to provide novel insights for the prevention and treatment of CLAD following lung transplantation and further improve the prognosis of lung transplant recipients.

Objective:To explore the targets and mechanisms of aerobic exercise on Alzheimer's disease(AD).Method:Thirty-two male clean-grade Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of four groups:control,mod-el,positive drug and aerobic exercise.After intervention,the Morris water maze was employed to assess the learning and memory capabilities of the rats,and hematoxylin and eosin staining was utilized to observe patho-logical changes in hippocampal tissue.Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were conducted to identify dif-ferential metabolites and key genes associated with disease progression,with a focus on the expression of key genes through integrated analysis.Result:The water maze experiment showed that the aerobic exercise group significantly improved the learning and cognitive abilities of D-galactose-induced Alzheimer's disease model rats.Pathological staining showed a de-crease in the number of cells in the hippocampal CA1 region of the model group rats,characterized by deep staining of the nucleus and cytoplasm,cell shrinkage,loose and disordered arrangement,blurred boundaries be-tween the nucleus and cytoplasm,and increased gaps.The cell structure of hippocampal neurons in the aero-bic exercise group of rats was relatively clear and tends to be complete,with a decreasing trend in intercellu-lar gaps.No large-scale neuronal shrinkage was observed in the field of view,and the cell volume appeared normal.Transcriptomics screened out key genes mainly including four genes:indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1(IDO1),tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase 2(TDO2),plexin B1(PLXNB1),and tripartite motif protein 11(TRIM 11).Metabolomics screening identified ten differential metabolites,including N-formylcarnitine,trypto-phan,Kynurenine,5-hydroxytryptamine,5-hydroxytryptophan,creatine,N-acetylaspartate glutamate,histidine,Hydroxyprolyl-Isoleucine,and pyridoxine.This study showed that aerobic exercise significantly improved the learning and memory abilities of D-galactose-induced AD model rats,alleviated the damage and reduction of hippocampal CA1 neurons.Integrated analysis found that the content of tryptophan,kynurenine,5-hydroxytryp-tamine,and 5-hydroxytryptophan was directly regulated by IDO1 and TDO2.Conclusion:IDO1 and TDO2 are important targets for aerobic exercise in the treatment of AD.The neuropro-tective effects and reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation are the key therapeutic mechanisms of aero-bic exercise in AD.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between folate and thyroid antibody in early pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcome in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy.Methods:The data of 97 pregnant women with hypothyroidism from Jul. 2020 to Mar. 2023 in the Obstetrics Department of Liaocheng Second People’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The levels of folate, thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) were detected in the first trimester. According to whether adverse pregnancy outcome occurred in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, they were divided into occurrence group and non-occurrence group. The clinical data of the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of folic acid, TGAb, TPOAb and their combination on adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy.Results:Among 97 pregnant women, the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcome was 14.43% (14/97) .The folate level in the occurrence group was lower than non-occurrence group ( P<0.05) , and the TGAb and TPOAb levels in the occurrence group were higher than non-occurrence group ( P<0.05) . The occurrence group with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , glutamine transpeptidase (GGT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were all higher than non-occurrence group ( P<0.05) .The folate, TGAb, and TPOAb levels were factors influencing adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism ( P<0.05) . The area under the curve (AUC) values of folate, TGAb, TPOAb and their combined prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy were 0.804, 0.843, 0.799, 0.909 ( P<0.05) , while the combined three with AUC values were higher ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The folate, TGAb and TPOAb levels in early pregnancy can be used to evaluate adverse pregnancy outcomes in hypothyroidism pregnant women, and the combination of the three has a higher evaluation value.
