[摘 要] 目的:探讨间充质基质细胞来源细胞外囊泡(MSC-EV)对小鼠免疫检查点抑制剂相关肺炎(CIP)模型的改善作用及分子机制。方法:选取Foxp3DTR小鼠,皮下接种MC38小鼠结肠癌细胞,待肿瘤生长至可触及后,随机分为3组(每组n = 6):①对照组;②CIP模型组[接种MC38细胞后腹腔注射白喉毒素(DT)及anti-PD-1抗体,构建Treg细胞耗竭联合anti-PD-1抗体诱导的小鼠CIP模型];③MSC-EV干预组(CIP模型基础上,经鼻滴注MSC-EV干预,剂量109个/只,每3天1次,共2次)。体内实验采用H-E染色观察肺组织病理损伤,测定肺干湿比评估肺水肿程度,ELISA检测支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)中IL-1β、IL-6及TNF-α水平,流式细胞术检测BALF中Ly6G⁺粒细胞浸润比例,监测肿瘤体积评价抗肿瘤疗效。体外实验采用DiO荧光标记观察细胞外囊泡(EV)被骨髓来源巨噬细胞摄取的情况,WB法检测NOD样受体家族含Pyrin域蛋白3(NLRP3)炎症小体关键蛋白(剪切型GSDMD、成熟型IL-1β)的表达水平。结合GEO数据库miRNA测序数据(GSE69909)、Dicer敲低及miR-21/miR-125抑制剂干预揭示潜在机制。结果:MSC-EV经鼻滴注可减轻CIP模型小鼠肺部炎症损伤,降低BALF中IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α水平及Ly6G⁺粒细胞浸润比例(P < 0.05),且不削弱anti-PD-1抗体的抗肿瘤疗效。体外DiO标记示踪显示MSC-EV可被巨噬细胞摄取,WB法检测结果显示,MSC-EV可降低NLRP3炎症小体关键活化蛋白(剪切型GSDMD、成熟型IL-1β)水平(P < 0.05)。体外实验中,Dicer敲低后制备的MSC-EV 对巨噬细胞IL-1β的下调作用减弱(P < 0.05)。miRNA测序显示miR-21、miR-125在MSC-EV中高表达,抑制miR-21或miR-125后,相应MSC-EV对巨噬细胞IL-1β剪切的抑制作用降低(P < 0.05)。结论:MSC-EV通过其携带的miR-21和miR-125等miRNA发挥抗炎效应,其机制可能与抑制巨噬细胞NLRP3炎症小体活化有关,可有效改善CIP且不影响免疫检查点抑制剂的抗肿瘤疗效。

This paper systematically summarizes the practical experience of the 2025 Dingri earthquake emergency medical rescue in Tibet. It analyzes the requirements for earthquake medical rescue under conditions of high-altitude hypoxia, low temperature, and low air pressure. The paper provides a detailed discussion on the strategic layout of earthquake medical rescue at the national level, local government level, and through social participation. It covers the construction of rescue organizational systems, technical systems, material support systems, and information systems. The importance of building rescue teams is emphasized. In high-altitude and cold conditions, rapid response, scientific decision-making, and multi-party collaboration are identified as key elements to enhance rescue efficiency. By optimizing rescue organizational structures, strengthening the development of new equipment, and promoting telemedicine technologies, the precision and effectiveness of medical rescue can be significantly improved, providing important references for future similar disaster rescues.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between the composition of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and depression/anxiety/sleep disturbances (D/A/S) in patients with chronic pain.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at 13 tertiary hospitals across China, enrolling patients who experienced chronic pain between November 2023 and May 2024. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and TCM constitution categories were used to assess the patients. The association between the TCM constitution and the D/A/S ratio was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression.ResultsA total of 1107 patients (63.2% women) were analyzed. Compared with those with a balanced constitution, patients who had qi-deficiency and yin-deficiency were at a higher risk of depression. Qi-deficiency and yin-deficiency were associated with anxiety. Sleep disturbances were common in patients with qi-deficiency constitution (odds ratio [OR]: 2.32, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.42–3.81), yang-deficiency constitution (OR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.26–2.98), yin-deficiency constitution (OR: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.24–3.32), blood stasis constitution (OR: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.01–4.22), and qi-stagnation constitution (OR: 2.66, 95% CI: 1.35–5.25).ConclusionIn patients with chronic pain, specific TCM constitutions may be associated with D/A/S. Further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the potential causal relationships between TCM constitution types and these conditions.

Objective To explore the CT imaging features and independent risk factors for cystic pulmonary nodules and establish a malignant probability prediction model. Methods The patients with cystic pulmonary nodules admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First People39;s Hospital of Neijiang from January 2017 to February 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. They were divided into a malignant group and a benign group according to the pathological results. The clinical data and preoperative chest CT imaging features of the two groups were collected, and the independent risk factors for malignant cystic pulmonary nodules were screened out by logistic regression analysis, so as to establish a prediction model for benign and malignant cystic pulmonary nodules. Results A total of 107 patients were enrolled. There were 76 patients in the malignant group, including 36 males and 40 females, with an average age of 59.65±11.74 years. There were 31 patients in the benign group, including 16 males and 15 females, with an average age of 58.96±13.91 years. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the special CT imaging features such as cystic wall nodules [OR=3.538, 95%CI (1.231, 10.164), P=0.019], short burrs [OR=4.106, 95%CI (1.454, 11.598), P=0.008], cystic wall morphology [OR=6.978, 95%CI (2.374, 20.505), P<0.001], and the number of cysts [OR=4.179, 95%CI (1.438, 12.146), P=0.009] were independent risk factors for cystic lung cancer. A prediction model was established: P=ex/(1+ex), X=–2.453+1.264×cystic wall nodules+1.412×short burrs+1.943×cystic wall morphology+1.430×the number of cysts. The area under the receiver operating charateristic curve was 0.830, the sensitivity was 82.9%, and the specificity was 74.2%. Conclusion Cystic wall nodules, short burrs, cystic wall morphology, and the number of cysts are the independent risk factors for cystic lung cancer, and the established prediction model can be used as a screening method for cystic pulmonary nodules.

Objective To investigate the safety of thoracic surgery for high-altitude patients in local medical center. Methods We retrospectively collected 258 high-altitude patients who received thoracic surgery in West China Hospital, Sichuan University (plain medical center, 54 patients) and People39;s Hospital of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (high-altitude medical center, 204 patients) from January 2013 to July 2019. There were 175 males and 83 females with an average age of 43.0±16.8 years. Perioperative indicators, postoperative complications and related risk factors of patients were analyzed. Results The rate of minimally invasive surgery in the high-altitude medical center was statistically lower than that in the plain medical center (11.8% vs. 55.6%, P<0.001). The surgical proportions of tuberculous empyema (41.2% vs. 1.9%, P<0.001) and pulmonary hydatid (15.2% vs. 0.0%, P=0.002) in the high-altitude medical center were statistically higher than those in the plain medical center. There was no statistical difference in perioperative mortality (0.5% vs. 1.9%, P=0.379) or complication rate within 30 days after operation (7.4% vs. 11.1%, P=0.402) between the high-altitude center and the plain medical center. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that body mass index≥ 25 kg/m2 (OR=8.647, P<0.001) and esophageal rupture/perforation were independent risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative complications (OR=15.720, P<0.001). Conclusion Thoracic surgery in the high-altitude medical center is safe and feasible.
