Objective:To analyze the current status and trends of lung cancer incidence and mortality in China and selected global regions, providing evidence for lung cancer prevention strategies in China.Methods:We extracted data from the GLOBOCAN 2022 database. Age-standardized Incidence rate (ASIR) and Age-standardized Mortality rate (ASMR) were calculated using Segi's world standard population. Epidemiological patterns were analyzed by region, age, sex, and human development index (HDI). Simple linear regression and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were used to examine associations between HDI and ASIR/ASMR.Results:In 2022, global lung cancer incidence and mortality reached 2.48 million and 1.82 million cases respectively, with age-standardized rates of 23.6 per 100 000 (ASIR) and 16.8 per 100 000 (ASMR). Gender disparities were prominent, with male ASIR and ASMR being 2.0-fold and 2.5-fold higher than females. Elderly populations showed 11.6-fold higher ASIR and 14.4-fold higher ASMR compared to working-age adults. HDI demonstrated strong positive correlations with both ASIR ( r=0.79, P＜0.001) and ASMR ( r=0.74, P＜0.001). China accounted for 1.06 million new cases and 0.73 million deaths, with ASIR (40.8 per 100 000) and ASMR (26.7 per 100 000) exceeding global averages by 1.7-fold and 1.6-fold respectively. Chinese males showed 1.7-fold higher ASIR and 2.7-fold higher ASMR than females. Trend analysis revealed persistently high male incidence in China whereas rapidly increasing female rates, narrowing gender disparities. Projections estimate 1.80 million incident cases and 1.41 million deaths by 2050, representing 69.3% and 92.0% increases from 2022 levels. Conclusions:Significant heterogeneity exists in lung cancer burden across demographics and development levels, with strong HDI correlations. China bears disproportionate disease burden, necessitating intensified prevention efforts. These findings underscore the urgency of targeted interventions in high-risk populations.

Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide(PSP)is a polysaccharide with multiple pharma-cological activities that has been widely studied and used in the human body.However,there is cur-rently a lack of research investigating the potential advantages of PSP in poultry farming.This study investigated the effects of adding PSP to drinking water on the growth performance,antioxi-dant status,serum biochemical indicators,ileal tissue morphology,immune organs,and intestinal function of chicks.88 Hailan brown laying hens were randomly divided into 4 groups,with 22 hens in each group,namely the blank control group(CON),and fed with basic feed;The low-dose PSP group(250 mg/L),the medium dose PSP group(500 mg/L),and the high-dose PSP group(1 000 mg/L)were fed with corresponding doses of PSP through drinking water on the basis of basic feed,and the experimental period was 21 d.The initial and final body weight and immune or-gan relative quality of chicks,serum biochemical indicators,the activities of SOD,CAT,and GSH-Px,as well as the contents of T-AOC and MDA in the serum of chicks were measured;HE stai-ning method was used to observe the pathological changes of intestinal tissue slices in the ileum;Real time fluorescence quantitative PCR technology was used to detect the mRNA expression lev-els of cytokines ZO-1,Claudin-1,Occludin,Mucin-2,IL-1β,TNF-a,IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-8,and IL-10 in the ileum.The results showed that compared with the blank control group,the addition of medium dose PSP significantly increased the final relative quality(P＜0.01),the final body weight and ADG of PSP500 group chicks significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the F/G of PSP250 and PSP500 groups significantly decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The villus height of the jejunum in the 200,500,and 1 000 mg/L PSP groups of chicks significantly increased(P＜0.05).The SOD ac-tivity significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the CAT activity in the PSP1000 group significantly increased(P＜0.01).The PSP500 and PSP1000 groups significantly reduced the mRNA expression of cytokines IL-1β,IL-4,and IFN-γ in the ileum(P＞0.05);PSP did not show significant changes in serum total protein(TP),albumin(ALB),glucose(GLU),cholesterol(T-CHO)content,and immune organ index(P＜0.05).In summary,PSP can improve growth performance,enhance an-tioxidant capacity,improve ileal morphology and epithelial barrier function,and regulate mucosal immune status.Considering the overall economic benefits,the recommended level of PSP addition is 500 mg/L.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disease that primarily affects the elderly population, which greatly increases the risk of fractures. Here we report that Kindlin-2 expression in adipose tissue increases during aging and high-fat diet fed and is accompanied by decreased bone mass. Kindlin-2 specific deletion (K2KO) controlled by Adipoq-Cre mice or adipose tissue-targeting AAV (AAV-Rec2-CasRx-sgK2) significantly increases bone mass. Mechanistically, Kindlin-2 promotes peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) activation and downstream fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) expression through stabilizing fatty acid synthase (FAS), and increased FABP4 inhibits insulin expression and decreases bone mass. Kindlin-2 inhibition results in accelerated FAS degradation, decreased PPARγ activation and FABP4 expression, and therefore increased insulin expression and bone mass. Interestingly, we find that FABP4 is increased while insulin is decreased in serum of OP patients. Increased FABP4 expression through PPARγ activation by rosiglitazone reverses the high bone mass phenotype of K2KO mice. Inhibition of FAS by C75 phenocopies the high bone mass phenotype of K2KO mice. Collectively, our study establishes a novel Kindlin-2/FAS/PPARγ/FABP4/insulin axis in adipose tissue modulating bone mass and strongly indicates that FAS and Kindlin-2 are new potential targets and C75 or AAV-Rec2-CasRx-sgK2 treatment are potential strategies for OP treatment.

OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of surgical history on chemotherapy -induced nausea and vomiting （CINV）. METHODS A retrospective case -control study was adopted ，with 824 patients undergoing chemotherapy as the object . A total of 27 items were collected ，including demographic data ，medical history data ，pre-chemotherapy data ，and chemotherapy treatment status. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the history of surgery and the risk of CINV . The multiple models were constructed to correct potential confounding factors ，and subgroup analysis was performed on patients with surgical history . RESULTS The incidence of CINV was higher in patients with surgical history . The statistical result before adjustment was [OR＝1.72，95%CI（1.31，2.28），P＜0.001]；after adjusting potential confounding factors ，the statistical result was [OR＝1.78，95% CI（1.28，2.48），P＝0.001]. In the subgroup analysis ，the time between surgery and chemotherapy was different ， and the impact of surgical history on CINV was different ，and the results were statistically significant （P＝0.027）. The risk of CINV showed decreasing trend with the time ，and the results were statistically significant （P for trend ≤0.050）. Compared with patients who had not undergone surgery ，patients who had undergone surgery within one year had a higher risk of CINV [OR＝ 2.33，95%CI（1.52，3.59），P＜0.001]. CONCLUSIONS Patients with surgical history are more prone to CINV ，and the risk of CINV shows a downward trend in the length of time from surgery .

Objective Comparison of the levator ani muscles in three-dimensional (3D) MRI-based models in women with and without pelvic organ prolapse at rest to analyze the morphological characteristics of levator ani muscles in women with POP. Methods Twenty-five women with POP and 22 women with normal pelvic support were selected from Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University. Axial, sagittal, and coronal T2-weighted pelvic magnetic resonance scans were obtained with the women in the supine position.The 3D models were reconstructed from the source images. Morphological changes was compared within the two groups of levator ani muscles, and the 3D models were measured to determine the levator ani muscle volume (LVOL), levator plate angle (LPA), levator hiatus width (LH-W) and length (LH-L), distance between symphysis and levator sling muscle (LSG). Results There were no puborectalis avulsions in control, in POP, 3 cases of avulsions just in left, 3 cases of avulsions just in right, 7 cases in bilateral. The shape of iliococcygeus were all dome-shaped in control, 11 cases were U-shaped and 14 cases were dome-shaped in POP. The shape of levator hiatus were 7 cases of U-shape, 12 cases of V-shape, 3 cases of irregular in control; 5 cases of U-shape, 4 cases of V-shape, 16 cases of irregular in POP. POP versus control: LH-L: (68.0 ± 8.9) versus (61.6 ± 7.2) mm (P<0.05); LH-W: (41.4 ± 3.9) versus (38.0 ± 3.2) mm (P<0.05); LSG-L: (29.6 ± 7.4) versus (24.6 ± 3.7) mm (P<0.05); LSG-R: (28.4 ± 6.8) versus (23.9 ± 3.2) mm (P<0.05); LPA: (51.0 ± 11.3)° versus (40.6 ± 6.3)° (P<0.05); LVOL: (23.7 ± 5.8) versus (24.6 ± 5.0) cm3 (P>0.05). Conclusions It is possible to assess the morphologic changes of levator ani by using 3D MRI models objectively, our 3D data demonstrate larger in LVOL, LPA, LH-W, LH-L, LSG, and the changes in shape. It is helpful to diagnose and assess the specific situation of patients POP in clinic.

Primary pigmented nodular adrenal disease (PPNAD) is a kind of autosomal dominant inherited disease. Patient in the study presented with Cushing's syndrome, and clinical and pathological diagnosis of PPNAD was confirmed. It is now confirmed that there are two relevant genes and their mutations may lead to PPNAD. This study showed no mutations in the patient, surpecting if there would be an alternative mechanism or a new gene in playing the role.
