Immune disorders play a vital role in the tumors,infections and allergic diseases.As a co-inhibitory molecule that has attracted much attention in recent years,programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1)can participate in immunomodulation in various immune diseases by inhibiting the proliferation and activation of type 2 innate lymphoid cells(ILC2s).ILC2s is a newly discovered subgroup of immune cell families,which is involved in tumor immunity,anti-parasitic infection and tissue damage repair by secreting type 2 cytokines.PD-1 is a major immunosuppressive molecule that can regulate the different immunomodulatory effects of ILC2s in different immune diseases.This article reviews the role and mechanism of PD-1 in regulating ILC2s in different diseases.

Objective To investigate the effects of perampanel on the C-C chemokine receptor 5(CCR5)/cAMP-dependent protein kinase A(PKA)/cyclic-AMP response binding protein(CREB)pathway and hippocampal neuronal damage in epileptic rats.Methods Seventy-two male SPF-grade SD rats were randomly divided into epilepsy group,perampanel group,CCR5 inhibitor(maraviroc)group,recombinant CCL5 protein(rCCL5,CCR5 activator)group,perampanel+rCCL5 group,and a control group,with 12 rats in each group.The duration and frequency of epi-leptic seizures were detected in above groups.HE staining was used to observe the morphology of the hippocampal CA1 region.ELISA was employed to measure the contents of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2),TNF-α,and IL-18 in the hippocampal CA1 region.Western blotting was conducted to measure the expression levels of CCR5,PKA,and p-CREB in the hippocampal CA1 region.Results Compared with the control group,the epilepsy group demonstrated badly-arranged and swollen neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region,longer duration of epilepsy,higher seizure frequency,increased COX-2,TNF-α and IL-18 contents in the CA1 region,elevated apoptotic rate and CCR5 protein level,and prolonged escape latency,while less number of crossing platforms and reduced protein levels of PKA and p-CREB(P＜0.05).While,both perampanel and maraviroc treatment could reverse above indicators when compared with the levels of the epilepsy group(P＜0.05).In the rCCL5 group,the neural injury was significantly aggravated,the duration of epilepsy and the frequency of epileptic seizures were increased,the contents of COX-2,TNF-α and IL-18 in the hip-pocampal CA1 region were enhanced,the rate of neuronal apoptosis and the expression of CCR5 protein were significantly enhanced,the escape latency was prolonged,and the number of crossed platforms,PKA,and the expression of p-CREb protein were declined(P＜0.05).When compared with the perampanel group,addition of rCCL5 resulted prolonged duration of epilepsy and escape latency,increased frequency of epileptic seizures and protein levels of COX-2,TNF-α,IL-18 and CCR5,more severe neuronal injury in the CA1 region,less platforms crossed,and decreased pro-tein expression of PKA and p-Creb(P＜0.05).The neural apoptotic rate in the hippocampal CA1 region was significantly higher in the perampanel+rCCL5 group than the perampanel group[(10.58±0.43)％vs(6.36±0.31)％,P＜0.05].Conclusion Perampanel may inhibit neuroin-flammation and neuronal apoptosis in epileptic rats by down-regulating CCR5 and then activating the PKA/CREB pathway,and thus attenuate hippocampal neuronal damage.

Objective:To explore the application of low opioid dose afentanil induced laryngeal mask intubation in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery and its effects on postoperative cognition and mood.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 80 patients with radical mastectomy admitted to our hospital from Jan. 2020 to Jun. 2024. Clinical data of the patients were statistically analyzed, and they were divided into control group (47 cases with sufentanil as intravenous sedative drug) and observation group (33 cases with afentanil as intravenous sedative drug) according to different anesthesia methods. The scores of MMSE and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) before anesthesia and 24 and 48h after anesthesia were compared between the two groups, and the observation group was divided into different subgroups with different doses of afentanil, and the changes of MMSE and HAD scores were observed.Results:There was no significant difference in age, cancer type, clinical symptoms and BMI between 2 groups ( t=0.12, 0.25, P=0.902, 0.801, χ 2=0.05, 2.08, 0.30, 1.69, 0.32, 0.05, 0.08, P=0.978, 0.149, 0.586, 0.193, 0.571, 0.820, 0.960) . At 24h and 48h after surgery, the MMSE score of the 2 groups was significantly decreased, but the score at 48h after surgery was higher than that at 24h after surgery. Meanwhile, the score at 24h after surgery of the observation group) and the score at 48h after surgery, was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.15, 4.48, P<0.001) . At 24h and 48h after surgery, the HAD score of the two groups was significantly increased, and the HAD score of the control group at 48h after surgery was significantly higher than that of the control group at 24h after surgery, but the observation group was significantly lower than the control group at 48h, with statistical significance ( t=6.22, P<0.001) . At the induction stage of anesthesia, MMSE scores were significantly higher in the 50-75 μg/kg group than in the 25-50μg/kg group, and HAD scores were significantly lower 48 hours after surgery. At the same time, the MMSE score of 0.5-1.0 μg·kg -1·min -1 group was significantly higher than that of 1.0-2.0 μg·kg -1·min -1 group 48h after anesthesia maintenance, and the HAD score was significantly lower than that of 1.0-2.0 μg·kg -1·min -1 group 48h after anesthesia, with statistical significance ( t=8.80, P<0.001) . Conclusion:Afentanil induced laryngeal mask intubation has high application value in breast cancer surgery patients, which can effectively restore patients' cognitive ability and relieve patients' anxiety, and the effect of low-dose intervention is more obvious, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

This study aims to describe the population and regional distribution characteristics of smoking behavior among adult twins in the China Twin Registry (CNTR), as well as the concordance rates for smoking behavior in monozygotic and dizygotic twins, and estimate the heritability. The study population included adult twins in CNTR who had smoking questionnaire data. A random-effects regression model was used to describe the distribution of smoking behavior among different subgroups based on various characteristics. The concordance of smoking behavior between different zygosity groups was calculated, and heritability was estimated. A total of 28 444 twin pairs were included in this study, with an average age of (36.6±12.0) years. Among male twins, 41.2% were current smokers, while only 1.2% of females smoked. Higher smoking rates were observed among male smokers in the 50-59 age group ( z=23.0, P<0.001), northern regions ( z=2.9, P<0.01), rural areas ( z=-5.2, P<0.001), those who were divorced/widowed ( z=3.8, P<0.001), and first-born twins ( z=-4.3, P<0.001), while lower smoking rates were found in those with higher education ( z=-16.1, P<0.001) and unmarried individuals ( z=-16.0, P<0.001). The smoking concordance rate for male monozygotic twins was 69.6%, significantly higher than the 57.3% concordance rate for dizygotic twins ( χ 2=105.0, P<0.05). The heritability of smoking behavior in male twins was estimated at 28.9% (95% CI: 24.3%-33.4%). Stratified analyses showed differences in heritability across regions and age groups: the heritability in northern regions was 32.6% (95% CI: 27.3%-38.0%), higher than the 21.0% (95% CI: 12.4%-29.5%) observed in southern regions; the highest heritability of 35.1% (95% CI: 26.3%-43.9%) was found in the 18-29 age group, with heritability decreasing with age. In conclusion, the smoking rate and influencing factors in the twin population are similar to those in the general population, with unique characteristics, such as higher smoking rates in first-born twins. Genetic factors have a significant impact on smoking behavior.

Objective:To explore the association between spicy food intake and the risk for cardio/cerebrovascular diseases.Methods:Data were collected from the China Kadoorie Biobank project conducted in Pengzhou, Sichuan Province. Using the Cox proportional hazards regression model, we analyzed the associations of the frequency of spicy food intake, spicy level, types of spicy food, and the age when regular intake of spicy food began (intake in 1 day/week), with the risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease. Furthermore, the associations with the risks for ischemic heart disease (IHD) and cerebrovascular diseases, as well as the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) and hemorrhagic stroke (HS) were analyzed.Results:A total of 54 859 study participants were included in the study, in whom 49 320 had spicy food intake (89.90%). In these participants, 37 680 (68.69%) had spicy food intake in 6-7 days/week, 5 036 (9.18%) had spicy food intake in 1-5 days/week, and 6 604 (12.03%) had spicy food intake once a week; 5 539 (10.10%) had never/almost never had spicy food intake. After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, compared with those who never/almost never had spicy food intake, intake of spicy food was associated with reduced risks for IHD (intake in 6-7 days/week: HR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.78-0.95), cerebrovascular diseases (intake in 6-7 days/week: HR=0.88, 95% CI: 0.81-0.96), and IS (intak in 6-7 days/week: HR=0.85, 95% CI: 0.76-0.95). With the increase of spicy food intake frequency, the risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease decreased (intake in 1-5 days/week: HR=0.91, 95% CI: 0.85-0.98; intake in 6-7 days/week: HR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.84-0.94) (trend test P<0.001). However, no statistical association was found between spicy food intake and the risk for HS. In terms of spicy level, after adjusting for multiple confounding factors, compared with those who never/almost never had spicy food intake, intake of spicy food was associated with reduced risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease (moderate: HR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.82-0.90) and cerebrovascular disease (moderate: HR=0.90, 95% CI: 0.84-0.97). With the increase of spicy level, the risk for IHD decreased (moderate: HR=0.86, 95% CI: 0.79-0.93; strong: HR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.74-0.95) (trend test P<0.001). After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, compared with those who never/almost never had spicy food intake, intake of any type of spicy food was associated with reduced risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease, IHD, and cerebrovascular disease. Regulat intake of spicy food from age 0-10 years was associated with reduced risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease, IHD, and cerebrovascular disease. Regular intake of spicy food from age 11-20 years reduced the risk for cardio/cerebrovascular disease and IHD. There was no significant association between the regular intake of spicy food from age 21-79 years and the risks for cardio/cerebrovascular disease, IHD and cerebrovascular disease. Conclusion:The intake of spicy food could reduced the risk for cardio/cerebrovascular diseases, IHD, cerebrovascular diseases and IS in residents aged 30-79 years in Sichuan.

Objective:To investigate the effect of physical activity on mortality risk in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Sichuan Province.Methods:Based on baseline data from 2004 to 2008 from the China Kadoorie Biobank project site in Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province, a total of 8 501 COPD patients aged 30-79 years were enrolled and followed up for a long period to determine mortality outcomes. Quartiles were used to group physical activity levels. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the effect of physical activity level on mortality outcomes.Results:As of December 31, 2017, the cumulative follow-up of the participants totaled 85 600.58 person-years (mean follow-up duration: 10.07 years). During this period, a total of 2 000 deaths were recorded, yielding a cumulative mortality rate of 23.53%. Among these deaths, 665 were attributed to COPD, corresponding to a cumulative mortality rate of 7.82%; and 1 116 were attributed to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease (CVD), corresponding to a cumulative mortality rate of 13.13%. The Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis revealed that, after adjusting for confounding factors, total physical activity was associated with a reduced risk of mortality from COPD, CVD, and all causes in patients with COPD. Compared with the low-level group of total physical activity, the medium-high-level group had the lowest risk of COPD mortality, with an HR of 0.39 (95% CI: 0.30-0.49). The high-level group had the lowest risk of CVD death and all-cause death, with HRs of 0.46 (95% CI: 0.37-0.56) and 0.55 (95% CI: 0.48-0.64), respectively. The lowest risk of COPD death and CVD death was found in the medium-high level of work-based physical activity group, with HRs of 0.36 (95% CI: 0.28-0.46) and 0.43 (95% CI: 0.36-0.51), respectively; the risk of all-cause mortality was lowest in the medium-high and high-level groups, with HRs values of 0.53 (95% CI: 0.46-0.61) and 0.53 (95% CI: 0.45-0.61). The risk of COPD death was lowest in the high-level transportation physical activity group, with an HR of 0.66 (95% CI: 0.53-0.83), and the risk of CVD and all-cause death was lowest in the medium-high level group, with HRs of 0.63 (95% CI: 0.53-0.76) and 0.73 (95% CI: 0.64-0.84), respectively. The risk of COPD death and CVD death was the lowest in the high-level domestic physical activity group, with HRs of 0.66 (95% CI: 0.49-0.89) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.61-0.95), respectively, and the risk of all-cause death was the lowest in the medium-high level group, with an HR of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.72-0.94). There is no statistical association between leisure physical activity and the risk of death from three types of diseases. Conclusions:Total physical activity, including work-based, transportation-based, and domestic physical activity, reduced the risk of COPD, CVD, and all-cause mortality in patients with COPD in Sichuan Province. The magnitude of mortality risk was influenced by the type and level of physical activity.

Background and Aims:Obstructive jaundice(OJ)caused by common bile duct stones(CBDS)is a major risk factor for acute cholangitis(AC).Early identification of high-risk patients is essential for improving prognosis.Soluble CD163(sCD163)and milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8(MFG-E8)are associated with inflammatory diseases,but their predictive value for AC in CBDS-related OJ remains unclear.This study aimed to evaluate the predictive significance of serum sCD163 and MFG-E8 levels for AC in patients with CBDS-OJ.Methods:A total of 142 patients with CBDS-OJ admitted from January 2022 to June 2024 were included as the observation group,and 145 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination served as controls.Serum sCD163 and MFG-E8 levels were measured using ELISA.Based on the occurrence of AC within 24 hours after admission,patients with CBDS-OJ were divided into an AC group(n=48)and a non-AC group(n=94).Clinical variables and serological indicators were compared between groups.Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent factors associated with AC.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were generated to assess the predictive performance of sCD163,MFG-E8,and their combination.Results:Compared with the control group,patients with CBDS-OJ showed significantly elevated serum sCD163 levels and decreased MFG-E8 levels(both P<0.05).Within the observation group,the AC group had higher AST,ALT and sCD163 levels and lower MFG-E8 levels than the non-AC group(all P<0.05).Logistic regression identified elevated sCD163 as an independent risk factor(OR=3.478,P<0.001)and reduced MFG-E8 as a protective factor(OR=0.526,P=0.020)for AC.ROC analysis showed AUC values of 0.759 for sCD163,0.787 for MFG-E8,and 0.920 for their combined detection,with the combined model outperforming either marker alone(P<0.001).Conclusion:Serum sCD163 elevation and MFG-E8 reduction are closely associated with the development of AC in patients with CBDS-OJ.Combined detection of sCD163 and MFG-E8 provides superior predictive value and may serve as a useful tool for early risk stratification in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the safety of empirical or experimental medication (EEM) for adult-onset Still disease (AOSD) before diagnosis.Methods:The AOSD inpatients admitted to the Second Hospital of Jilin University from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023 were collected through hospital information system, and those who were misdiagnosed on admission were screened out. The main clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, misdiagnosis situation, the use of EEM and their adverse drug reactions (ADR), and the potential drug-drug interactions in the misdiagnosed patients were analyzed by descriptive statistics.Results:During the set time period, a total of 49 patients with AOSD were admitted to the hospital, of which 16 (32.7%) were misdiagnosed with other diseases on admission. Among the 16 patients, 10 were male and 6 were female, with a median age of 53 years. The main clinical manifestations were fever (in 15 patients), arthralgia/arthritis (in 10 patients), lymphadenopathy (in 10 patients), rash (in 9 patients), pleural or pericardial effusion (in 6 patients), pneumonia (in 5 patients), splenomegaly (in 4 patients) and sore throat (in 4 patients). Abnormalities in laboratory tests included white blood cell count elevation (in 13 patients), platelets count elevation (in 8 patients), serum ferritin elevation (>500 μg/L, in 12 patients), and abnormal liver function (in 9 patients). The median time of treatment before admission was 5.5 months (11 days to 27.0 months), and the median time from admission to diagnosis of AOSD was 12 days. Before the diagnosis of AOSD, all patients received a long time of EEM, including antibiotics, traditional Chinese medicine preparations, liver-protection drugs, anti-allergic drugs and antiviral drugs in 15, 12, 11, 3 and 2 patients, respectively. Four patients experienced ADRs related to EEM, all of which were caused by antibiotics. There were potential interactions in the therapeutic drugs in 4 patients.Conclusion:The misdiagnosis rate of AOSD was high. Patients might had accepted multiple EEMs before the definite diagnosis, which posed risks of ADRs and drug interactions.
