Objective: To investigate the trends in incidence and mortality of lung cancer in Huangpu District, Shanghai Municipality from 2002 to 2019, so as to provide the evidence for formulating lung cancer prevention and control measures. Methods: Data of lung cancer incidence and mortality among residents in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019 were collected through the Shanghai Cancer Registration and Reporting Management System. The crude incidence and mortality of lung cancer was calculated, and standardized by the data from the Chinese Fifth National Population Census in 2000 (Chinese-standardized rate) and the Segi's world standard population in 1960 (world-standardized rate). The trends in incidence and mortality of lung cancer among residents by age and gender were evaluated using annual percent change (APC). Results: A total of 12 965 cases of lung cancer were reported in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019, and the crude incidence rate was 80.66/105, the Chinese-standardized incidence rate was 34.54/105, and the world-standardized incidence rate was 31.30/105, all showing upward trends (APC=4.588%, 2.933% and 3.247%, all P<0.05). A total of 10 102 deaths of lung cancer were reported, and the crude mortality rate was 62.30/105, showing an upward trend (APC=0.959%, P<0.05); the Chinese-standardized mortality was 25.93/105, and the world-standardized mortality was 22.05/105, both showing downward trends (APC=-1.282% and -1.263%, both P<0.05). The crude incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer in males were higher than those in females (101.39/105 vs. 60.52/105, 85.45/105 vs. 39.87/105, both P<0.05). The crude incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer showed upward trends with age (both P<0.05), reaching their peaks in the age groups of 80-<85 years (341.37/105) and 85 years or above (355.97/105), respectively. Conclusions The incidence of lung cancer showed an upward trend, while the mortality showed a downward trend in Huangpu District from 2002 to 2019. Elderly men were the high-risk group for lung cancer incidence and mortality.

Epilepsy is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent,sudden,and excessive synchronous discharge of neurons in the brain,leading to transient brain dysfunction,and inflammatory responses in specific regions within the central nervous system are common features of epilepsy.In recent years,there has been increasing evidence that endoplasmic reticulum stress is involved in the pathology of epilepsy,which activates the unfolded protein response,then regulate and control nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB),efficiently induces glial cell activation through the release of pro-inflammatory signals,in turn affects epileptogenesis and seizures by triggering neuroinflammation.This review focuses on the close link between endoplasmic reticulum stress and glial cell activation-mediated neuroinflammation in epilepsy pathology,aiming to provide insights for a deeper understanding of epilepsy.

Purpose::Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common functional injuries observed in trauma patients. However, certain trauma medications may exacerbate renal injury. Therefore, the early detection of trauma-related AKI holds paramount importance in improving trauma prognosis.Methods::Qualified datasets were selected from public databases, and common differentially expressed genes related to trauma-induced AKI and hub genes were identified through enrichment analysis and the establishment of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Additionally, the specificity of these hub genes was investigated using the sepsis dataset and conducted a comprehensive literature review to assess their plausibility. The raw data from both datasets were downloaded using R software (version 4.2.1) and processed with the "affy" package19 for correction and normalization.Results::Our analysis revealed 585 upregulated and 629 downregulated differentially expressed genes in the AKI dataset, along with 586 upregulated and 948 downregulated differentially expressed genes in the trauma dataset. Concurrently, the establishment of the PPI network and subsequent topological analysis highlighted key hub genes, including CD44, CD163, TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1, cytochrome b-245 beta chain, versican, membrane spanning 4-domains A4A, mitogen-activated protein kinase 14, and early growth response 1. Notably, their receiver operating characteristic curves displayed areas exceeding 75%, indicating good diagnostic performance. Moreover, our findings postulated a unique molecular mechanism underlying trauma-related AKI. Conclusion::This study presents an alternative strategy for the early diagnosis and treatment of trauma-related AKI, based on the identification of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Additionally, this study provides theoretical references for elucidating the mechanisms of trauma-related AKI.

Objective:To evaluate the robustness of fully automated adaptive planning for Ethos online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) based on the intelligent optimization engine (IOE).Methods:Clinical data of 11 stage ⅠB cervical cancer patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital between June 2021 and June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Original planning images and iterative cone-beam computed tomography (iCBCT) images of each radiotherapy treatment were acquired, and all patient data were imported into the Ethos simulator. IOE-based 9-field automatic plan generation was performed for 11 patients using Ethos, and the generated plans were sent to online adaptive radiotherapy simulation to obtain each online adaptive radiotherapy plan (273 fractions in total) and complete the simulated treatment. For comparison, manual plan design was performed based on the images and contoured structures used for online adaptive radiotherapy planning, and the manually plans created with evenly divided 9 fields. Dosimetric parameters, plan complexity parameters, and Mobius quality assurance (QA) pass rates were collected to compare and evaluate the robustness of the online adaptive radiotherapy plan in terms of organs at risk (OAR), target volume dosimetric parameters, and plan complexity by using paired t-test or rank sum test. Results:The online adaptive plan of cervical cancer had comparable planning target volume (PTV) coverage compared to the manual plan. For the clinical target volume (CTV) D 99%, online adaptive plan was significantly higher than the manual plan [(45.93±0.36) vs. (45.32±0.31) Gy, P<0.001]. For hot dose area, the maximum point dose (PTV D max) of adaptive plan was significantly higher than the manual plan [(49.89±1.25) vs. (48.48±0.77) Gy, P<0.001], but the PTV D 1% of adaptive plan was significantly lower than the manual plan [(47.22±0.29) vs. (47.59±0.48) Gy, P<0.001]. There was no statistical difference in the conformal index ( P=0.967). And there was significant difference in the homogeneity index, with same medians and less dispersion in adaptive plan ( P<0.001). For OAR dose, bladder D mean, rectal V 40 Gy, small intestine D mean of adaptive plan was slightly higher than that of the manual plan; the rectal D mean, small intestine D 2 cm3 of the adaptive plan was slightly lower than that of manual plan; dosimetric parameters of right and left femoral heads, spinal cord and bone marrow of the adaptive plan were better than those of manual plan. The adaptive plan had more monitor units (MU) than the manual plan, but the complexity of the adaptive plan was significantly lower than that of the manual plan (0.135±0.012 vs. 0.151±0.015, P<0.001). For Mobius γ pass rate (5%/3 mm), both adaptive and manual plans met clinical requirements. Conclusion:Ethos cervical cancer online adaptive plan, which is based on the IOE engine, demonstrates good robustness and ensures the quality of online adaptive plans generated for each treatment fraction.

Objective:To evaluate the automatic optimization performance and clinical feasibility of the intelligent optimization engine (IOE) in the Ethos online adaptive radiotherapy platform.Methods:Clinical data of 11 patients with postoperative cervical cancer treated with Halcyon accelerator were retrospectively analyzed. Manual planning was performed for all patients using the 4 full arc volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) (Manual-4Arc) in Eclipse, with a prescription dose of 45 Gy/25F. Patient images and structures were imported into the Ethos simulator, and appropriate clinical goals were added based on clinical requirements. The target coverage was normalized to 95%. Automatic plan generation was conducted using IOE, resulting in 7, 9, and 12 field intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans (IMRT-7F、IMRT-9F、IMRT-12F), as well as 2 and 3 arc VMAT plans (VMAT-2Arc、VMAT-3Arc). Dosimetric index comparisons were made between the Manual-4Arc plans and the 5 groups of IOE-generated plans through one-way analysis of variance. Based on the analysis results, Turky post hoc multiple comparisons were performed to evaluate the automatic optimization performance of IOE.Results:In terms of the high dose area, the IMRT-12F plans showed the lowest D 1% for the planning target volume (PTV), and there were significant differences compared to the Manual-4Arc plans ( P=0.004). Regarding target coverage, all groups produced clinical target volume (CTV) plans that met the clinical requirements. Although the Ethos online adaptive plans were normalized during planning, the PTV coverage was slightly insufficient. For organs at risk (OAR) close to the target, such as the bladder, there were significant differences in V 30 Gy, V 40 Gy, and D mean among the 6 groups of plans. The dose ranking for the bladder was generally as follows: IMRT-12F

This study aimed to investigate halofuginone's inhibitory effect and mechanism on the activity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. HepG2 cells were used to detect the effects of halofuginone. After treatment, cell activity, cell migration, cell cycle, and cell apoptosis were detected by CCK-8, transwell, and flow cytometry, respectively. The expression levels of growth and metabolism-related factors such as citrate synthase (CS), ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH), and isocitrate deoxygenase (IDH) were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot. Compared with the control group, the activity of HepG2 cells was significantly inhibited by halofuginone (P < 0.01), the migration rate of HepG2 cells was decreased (P < 0.01), the apoptosis of HepG2 cells was induced (P < 0.01), and the cell cycle was arrested in S phase (P < 0.01). The expression levels of tricarboxylic acid key enzymes CS, IDH3, and OGDH were up-regulated, the expression level of isocitrate dehydrogenase isoenzymes IDH1 and IDH2 were down-regulation. In conclusion, halofuginone can inhibit the proliferation and migration of HepG2 cells and promote apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, which may be due to the promotion of the aerobic metabolism of cells.

OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with pemetrexed and nedaplatin in the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR） and anaplastic lymphoma kinase （ALK） wild-type advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. METHODS The data of 92 patients with EGFR/ALK wild-type advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from August 2021 to May 2023 were collected and divided into nedaplatin group （46 cases） and carboplatin group （46 cases） based on different treatment regimens. Nedaplatin group was given camrelizumab for injection+nedaplatin for injection+pemetrexed disodium for injection； carboplatin group was given camrelizumab for injection+carboplatin injection+pemetrexed disodium for injection. Both groups received treatment with 21 days as one cycle， and all patients would be treated at least two cycles. The recent efficacy and the incidence of adverse drug reactions were observed in two groups， and the factors affecting progression-free survival （PFS） of patients were analyzed. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in the objective response rate， disease control rate， median PFS， and the incidence of grade 3-5 treatment-related adverse event （TRAE） between the two groups （P＞0.05）. While the incidence of grade 1-2 renal and urinary system TREA， palpitations and pericardial effusion in nedaplatin group were significantly lower than carboplatin group， the incidence of nausea， vomiting and decreased appetite were significantly higher than carboplatin group （P＜0.05）. The patient’s gender， age， smoking history， Eastern United States Cancer Collaboration score， and TNM staging were not significant factors affecting patient’s PFS （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Camrelizumab combined with pemetrexed and nedaplatin has significant efficacy in the treatment of EGFR/ALK wild-type advanced non-squamous NSCLC， with good safety.

Objective To explore the evidence,urinary biomarkers,and partial mechanisms of hypercoagulability in the pathogenesis of IgA vasculitis(IgAV).Methods Differential expression of proteins in the urine of 10 healthy children and 10 children with IgAV was screened using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry,followed by Reactome pathway analysis.Protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis was conducted using STRING and Cytoscape software.In the validation cohort,15 healthy children and 25 children with IgAV were included,and the expression levels of differential urinary proteins were verified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results A total of 772 differential proteins were identified between the IgAV group and the control group,with 768 upregulated and 4 downregulated.Reactome pathway enrichment results showed that neutrophil degranulation,platelet activation,and hemostasis pathways were involved in the pathogenesis of IgAV.Among the differential proteins,macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF)played a significant role in neutrophil degranulation and hemostasis,while thrombin was a key protein in platelet activation and hemostasis pathways.PPI analysis indicated that thrombin directly interacted with several proteins involved in inflammatory responses,and these interactions involved MIF.Validation results showed that compared to healthy children,children with IgAV had significantly higher urine thrombin/creatinine and urine MIF/creatinine levels(P<0.05).Conclusions Thrombin contributes to the pathogenesis of IgAV through interactions with inflammatory factors.Urinary thrombin and MIF can serve as biomarkers reflecting the hypercoagulable and inflammatory states in children with IgAV.
