Objective: To explore the longitudinal associations between dietary macronutrients and lung function in schoolaged children, so as to provide the nutritional research evidence for promoting children s lung health. Methods: In November 2021, two primary schools located in Chengdu, Sichuan Province were selected from the Southwest China Childhood Nutrition and Growth (SCCNG) cohort by a stratified cluster random sampling method, enrolling a total of 1 112 school aged children aged 8 to 13 years. At baseline, the dietary and sociodemographic characteristics of the children were assessed. One year later, the forced vital capacity (FVC) of the children was measured and converted into Z scores (FVC- Z ), while the vital capacity index (VCI) was also calculated. Generalized linear regression analysis was employed to examine the associations between dietary macronutrients and lung function, considering interactions with gender and age, followed by stratified analysis. Results: After adjusting for confounding factors, the analysis results of the generalized linear regression model showed that the carbohydrate energy ratio was negatively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =-0.02) and VCI ( β =-0.16), while the fat energy ratio showed a positive correlation with FVC- Z ( β =0.03) and VCI ( β =0.23) ( P <0.05). The protein energy ratio was positively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =0.09) and VCI ( β =0.60) specifically in girls ( P <0.05). Additionally, there was an interaction effect of age on the associations between macronutrients and lung function ( P <0.01); in children aged 8-9 and 10-11, the carbohydrate energy supply ratio was negatively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =-0.04, -0.03) and VCI ( β =-0.29, -0.21), and fat energy supply ratio was positively correlated with FVC- Z ( β =0.07, 0.05) and VCI ( β =0.46, 0.32) ( P <0.05). Conclusions There are age and sex differences in the association of dietary macronutrients with lung function, with a low carbohydrate, high fat diet promoting lung function in children. Additionally, protein intake appears to have a positive influence on the lung function of girls. The early school age period may represent a critical window for dietary interventions aimed at promoting lung health.

The angiogenic microenvironment is a new blood vessel with different molecular and functional characteristics that sprouts on the original blood vessels through different mechanisms,which directly affects the process of tumor cell growth,proliferation,and migration and has an important impact on the occurrence and development of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer.Correa mode has shown that precancerous lesions of gastric cancer is the key pathological stage before the occurrence of gastric cancer,and it is of great significance to advance the prevention and treatment strategy to this stage.TCM believes that qi deficiency and blood stasis is the key pathogenesis of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer,and its basic treatment is to replenish qi and remove blood stasis,and based on the syndrome differentiation,drugs with the efficacy of nourishing yin and tonifying stomach,soothing the liver and regulating qi,resolving phlegm and dispersing lumps,and clearing heat and dampness for treatment.This article discussed the correlation between precancerous lesions of gastric cancer and angiogenic microenvironment and its regulatory pathways,and summarized the methods and mechanisms of TCM in the treatment of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer from the perspective of regulating angiogenic microenvironment-related pathways,in order to provide a reference for the treatment of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer with TCM.

Objective To investigate the associations between thyroid hormone sensitivity indices in euthyroid patients with hypertension and the risk of ischemic stroke,as well as gender difference in this association.Methods We selected 760 hypertensive patients admitted to the Geriatric Neurology Department and outpatient clinic in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between April 2021 and May 2022.We collected their basic characteristics,blood biochemical parameters,thyroid indices,and brain magnetic resonance imaging information.All the patients were divided into two groups based on the clinical manifestations and brain magnetic resonance imaging:hypertension combined with ischemic stroke(n=526)and control(n=234)groups.Independent sample t-tests or non-parametric tests were used to compare the differences in thyroid hormone sensitivity indicators between the two groups.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum thyroid indices and ischemic stroke.Multivariate conditional Logistic regression analysis was made to estimate odds ratios(ORs)and 95％confidence intervals(CIs)for thyroid indices and ischemic stroke.Results There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age,gender,TC,LDL-c,HDL-c,systolic blood pressure,FT3/FT4,TFQI,and PTFQI(all P＜0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in weight,smoking,drinking,history of diabetes,TG,FBG,diastolic blood pressure,TSHI,or TT4RI(all P＞0.05).The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between FT3/FT4 and ischemic stroke(P＜0.05),but a positive correlation of TFQI and PTFQI with ischemic stroke(P＜0.05)in euthyroid patients with hypertension.Logistic regression analysis showed that FT3/FT4 was significantly associated with ischemic stroke in euthyroid patients with hypertension(P=0.001),with OR(95％CI)of 0.001(0.000,0.058).After stratifying by gender,Logistic regression analysis found that FT3/FT4,TFQI,and PTFQI were associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in female patients,with OR(95％CI)of 0.000(0.000,0.001),3.132(1.415,6.930),and 3.010(1.406,6.445),respectively.Conclusion Lower serum FT3/FT4 ratio is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in euthyroid patients with hypertension,and the significant association of TFQI and PTFQI with the risk of ischemic stroke is found in females.

Lenvatinib, a second-generation multi-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved by the FDA for first-line treatment of advanced liver cancer, facing limitations due to drug resistance. Here, we applied a multidimensional, high-throughput screening platform comprising patient-derived resistant liver tumor cells (PDCs), organoids (PDOs), and xenografts (PDXs) to identify drug susceptibilities for conquering lenvatinib resistance in clinically relevant settings. Expansion and passaging of PDCs and PDOs from resistant patient liver tumors retained functional fidelity to lenvatinib treatment, expediting drug repurposing screens. Pharmacological screening identified romidepsin, YM155, apitolisib, NVP-TAE684 and dasatinib as potential antitumor agents in lenvatinib-resistant PDC and PDO models. Notably, romidepsin treatment enhanced antitumor response in syngeneic mouse models by triggering immunogenic tumor cell death and blocking the EGFR signaling pathway. A combination of romidepsin and immunotherapy achieved robust and synergistic antitumor effects against lenvatinib resistance in humanized immunocompetent PDX models. Collectively, our findings suggest that patient-derived liver cancer models effectively recapitulate lenvatinib resistance observed in clinical settings and expedite drug discovery for advanced liver cancer, providing a feasible multidimensional platform for personalized medicine.

Objective To explore the correlation between thyroid antibody levels and early renal injury in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)combined with Hashimoto's thyroiditis(HT).Methods A total of 375 T2DM patients hospitalized in The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2018 to December 2022 were selectedas the study subjects,and 197 healthy people were selected as the control subjects.The patients with T2DM were divided into simple T2DM group(n=191)and T2DM combined with HT group(HT,n=184).According to the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(UACR)level,T2DM patients with HT were divided into microalbuminuria subgroup(MUAlb,30≤UACR≤300 mg/g,n=70)and normal albuminuria subgroup(NUAlb,UACR<30 mg/g,n=114).According to whether the thyroid antibody was positive,they were divided into thyroid peroxides antibody[TPOAb(+)]subgroup(n=56),thyroglobulin antibody[TGAb(+)]subgroup(n=40)and TGAb and TPOAb double antibody positive subgroup(n=88).Results Compared with the NC group,the smoking,drinking,urinary creatinine,alpha 1-microglobulin,UACR,FPG,HbA1c,LDL-C,TC,and TG in the HT and T2DM groups increased(P<0.05),while HDL-C decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the NUAlb subgroup,the MUAlb subgroup showed age,DM duration,FPG,HbA1c,TGAb,TPOAb,thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)increased(P<0.05),while FT3 and eGFR decreased(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that UACR was positively correlated with age,HbA1c,TPOAb,TGAb,TSH(P<0.01),and negatively correlated with FT3(P<0.01).The UACR of the TGAb(+)+TPOAb(+)subgroup was higher than that of the TGAb(+)and TPOAb(+)subgroups(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that TSH,TGAb,TPOAb,and HbA1c were risk factors for MUAlb,while FT3 was a protective factor for MUAlb.Conclusions In T2DM with HT patients with normal thyroid function,TPOAb and TGAb are closely related to the occurrence of early renal injury.

Objective To study the effect of cobalt-60 gamma-ray (⁶⁰Co-γ) radiation on the structure of Nialamide, compare the anti-inflammatory activity of irradiation products, and explore the mechanism of action. Methods After ⁶⁰Co-γ irradiation of nialamide at a dose of 50 kGy, five known compounds were obtained (2-6). The viability of RAW 264.7 (mouse mononuclear macrophage leukemia) cells treated with these compounds was determined by CCK-8 assay. The secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE₂) and the content of nitric oxide (NO) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Griess method. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected using DCFH-DA fluorescent probe. The expression levels of cell-induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX-2), nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB), and IκB were detected using Western blot. Results The products of nialamide after irradiation did not significantly affect RAW264.7 cell viability (P > 0.05) but showed a strong anti-inflammatory effect (P < 0.01). Compared with nialamide, compounds 2, 3, 4, 6 significantly reduced NO content in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells (P < 0.01), and compound 4 had the most significant effect. Moreover, compound 4 significantly reduced the content of IL-6, TNF-α, PGE₂, and ROS (P < 0.05) as well as the expression of iNOS, COX-2, NF-κB, and IκB (P < 0.05) in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Conclusion The chemical structure of nialamide is changed after irradiation with ⁶⁰Co-γ, and its product compound 4 shows strong anti-inflammatory activity, which may be related to inhibiting the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing the release of inflammatory factors. Radiation technology can provide new insights into the changes of molecular structures and physiological properties of natural products.
