Objective To study the five-year survival status and influencing factors of elderly patients with lung cancer complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A cohort study was conducted to follow up 450 patients with lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who were hospitalized in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2023. The endpoint of the follow-up was the end of a five-year period or death. The Life Tables method was used to calculate survival rates and plot survival curves. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the influencing factors of five-year survival. Results The results indicated that the overall five-year survival rate of patients was 4.89%, and it decreased year by year. Cox regression analysis showed that age, gender, family functioning, and psychological status significantly influenced patient survival rate (all P<0.05). Stratified analysis found that the smoking status, family functioning, and psychological status of male patients all had an impact on survival rate (all P<0.05), while the psychological status of female patients had a more significant impact on survival (P=0.008). Conclusion This study provides a scientific basis for comprehensive intervention of elderly lung cancer patients with COPD. It is recommended that clinical attention should be paid to psychological and family factors to improve patient prognosis.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound in treating pulmonary nodules, providing evidence-based medical evidence for TCM intervention in pulmonary nodules. Methods Computer search of PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed was conducted to select randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TCM compound intervention in pulmonary nodules, with the retrieval time from the inception to November 29, 2023. The Cochrane bias risk assessment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies, and Review Manager 5.4 was used for Meta-analysis. Results A total of 18 RCTs were included, covering 8 provinces across the country, with a total sample size of 1301 patients. The TCM compounds used in the included studies all incorporated the method of dissolving phlegm and dissipating nodules. There was a high risk of bias uncertainty in the included studies. Meta-analysis results suggested that TCM compound could significantly reduce the diameter of pulmonary nodules [MD=−1.41, 95%CI (−1.70, −1.13), P<0.001], decrease the number of nodules [MD=−0.37, 95%CI (−0.73, −0.01), P=0.05], alleviate clinical symptoms [MD=−4.84, 95%CI (−6.04, −3.64), P<0.001], and improve lung function [forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), MD=0.55, 95%CI (0.09, 1.01), P=0.02; FEV1/forced vital capacity, MD=6.12, 95%CI (4.47, 7.78), P<0.001]. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the probability of malignancy between the experimental group and the control group [MD=−0.01, 95%CI (−0.01, 0.00), P=0.09]. Conclusion TCM compound can significantly reduce the diameter of pulmonary nodules, decrease the number of nodules, alleviate clinical symptoms, and improve lung function, but future multicenter, large-sample, high-quality RCTs are still needed to further explore and verify this conclusion.

Purpose To compare the HRCT findings of lung damage in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies(IIMs)with positive and negative anti-Ro-52 antibody.Materials and Methods Fifty patients with IIMs admitted to Beijing Shijitan Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 2015 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into anti-Ro-52 antibody negative group(18 cases)and positive group(32 cases),the lung CT findings of the two groups were compared,the distribution of lung lesions and related signs were analyzed.Results The incidence of interstitial lung disease in the anti-Ro-52 antibody-negative group was 11.1%(1 case),which was lower than that in the positive group 75.6%(31 cases)(P=0.001).Among the interstitial lung disease-positive patients,the proportion of lesions in the anti-Ro-52 positive group was more symmetrical(28 cases,87.5%,P=0.022)and peripheral distribution(20 cases,62.5%,P=0.039)than that in the anti-Ro-52 negative group.Non-specific interstitial pneumonia-like lesions were the main lesions in the two groups,including 14 cases(43.8%)in the anti-Ro-52 positive group and 7 cases(38.9%)in the negative group.However,9 cases(28.1%)of the anti-Ro-52 positive group had acute interstitial pneumonia-like lesions and 1 case(5.6%)of the negative group had acute interstitial pneumonia-like lesions.Imaging accompanying signs:anti-Ro-52 positive combination and consolidation(14 cases,43.8%,P=0.009),nodular shadow(17 cases,53.1%,P=0.025),and reverse halo sign(12 cases,37.5%,P=0.021)were more than those in the anti-Ro-52 negative group.Conclusion IIMs patients with positive anti-Ro-52 antibody have a higher incidence of interstitial lung disease.HRCT findings are of great significance for diagnosis and treatment of IIMs.

Depressive disorder is a kind of mental disorder characterized by persistent and significant depressed mood, with complex etiology and high recurrence rate. At present, more precise and effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are still required. Increasing evidence suggests that hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and related pathways are involved in regulating the development and recovery of depression. HIF-1 enhances neuroplasticity, mitigates neuroinflammatory responses, alleviates oxidative stress, and modulates brain energy metabolism by influencing specific molecules associated with depression. This paper reviews pertinent domestic and international studies, examine the potential mechanisms of HIF-1 in the pathogenesis and progression of depression, and explore antidepressant treatment strategies targeting the HIF-1 signaling pathway. This article provides novel insights into elucidating the pathogenesis of depression and developing innovative therapeutic approaches.
