With the widespread adoption of technologies such as diagnostic imaging, interventional medicine, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine, a growing number of people are exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation. Currently, the biological effects of low-dose radiation remain unclear, necessitating the identification of sensitive and specific biomarkers for risk assessment and health monitoring of such exposure. In this paper, we review the latest research progress in low-dose ionizing radiation biomarkers from the five perspectives of cytogenetics, DNA damage, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolomics. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the study of the biological effects of low-dose radiation.

Objective To explore the prognostic value of serum neutrophils/lymphocytes(NLR)for first-line treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer using programmed cell death receptor 1(PD-1)inhibitors.Methods A total of 168 patients with advanced gastric cancer who were treated with immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in the Fourth Hospital of Qinhuangdao from January 2018 to January 2021 were selected as study subjects,and the follow-up period was terminated at January 2023.The patients'data were collected,hematological and tumor markers before the combined treatment were analyzed,and the optimal cut-off value of NLR was calculated using X-tile software.The effect of NLR expression on the survival rate of patients with advanced gastric cancer was analysed by the Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Receiver operating curve(ROC)was used to analyze the predictive value of NLR in patients with advanced gastric cancer.The related factors affecting the disease progression of patients with advanced gastric cancer were screened combined with Cox proportional risk model.Results Among 168 patients,the optimal cut-off value of serum NLR before treatment was 2.41.Patients were divided into high NLR group(NLR＞2.41,n=93)and low NLR group(NLR＜2.41,n=75).NLR was related to tumor differentiation,distant metastasis,composite positive scores of PD-L1,carcinoembryonic antigen and cancer antigen 125(P＜0.05);the effective rate in the low NLR group was significantly higher than that in the high NLR group(P＜0.05);the median progression free survival(PFS)and the overall survival(OS)of patients in the low NLR group were both longer than those in the high NLR group(PFS:P=0.006;OS:P=0.023);ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve of NLR for the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer patients was 0.740,sensitivity was 81.50％,and specificity was 69.70％;in multivariate analysis,except initial NLR value,tumor differentiation degree and distant metastasis were also independent predictors of poor prognosis in patients with advanced gastric cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion Among patients with advanced gastric cancer who received first-line immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy,pretreatment NLR is correlated with efficacy and PFS/OS,and has high value in predicting the prognosis of immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer.

Clinical data of 124 elderly patients with severe burns who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the 12 hospitals from January 2015 to December 2020 were collected, including 4 patients from the Fourth People's Hospital of Dalian, 5 patients from Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, 22 patients from Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital of Jinan University, 5 patients from Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital, 27 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, 9 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, 10 patients from Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, 9 patients from Tongren Hospital of Wuhan University & Wuhan Third Hospital, 12 patients from the 924 th Hospital of PLA, 6 patients from Zhangjiagang First People's Hospital, 4 patients from Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, and 11 patients from Zhengzhou First People's Hospital. The patients' overall clinical characteristics, such as gender, age, body mass index, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, inhalation injury, causative factors, whether combined with underlying medical diseases, and admission time after injury were recorded. According to the survival outcome within 28 days after injury, the patients were divided into survival group (89 cases) and death group (35 cases). The following data of patients were compared between the two groups, including the basic data and injuries (the same as the overall clinical characteristics ahead); the coagulation indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time, D-dimer, fibrinogen degradation product (FDP), international normalized ratio (INR), and fibrinogen; the blood routine indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as white blood cell count, platelet count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit; the organ function indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, urea, serum creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total protein, albumin, globulin, blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, electrolyte indexes (potassium, sodium, chlorine, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in blood), uric acid, myoglobin, and brain natriuretic peptide; the infection and blood gas indexes within the first 24 hours of injury such as procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, pH value, oxygenation index, base excess, and lactate; treatment such as whether conducted with mechanical ventilation, whether conducted with continuous renal replacement therapy, whether conducted with anticoagulation therapy, whether applied with vasoactive drugs, and fluid resuscitation. The analysis was conducted to screen the independent risk factors for the mortality within 28 days after injury in elderly patients with severe burns. Results:Among 124 patients, there were 82 males and 42 females, aged 60-97 years, with body mass index of 23.44 (21.09, 25.95) kg/m 2, total burn area of 54.00% (42.00%, 75.00%) total body surface area (TBSA), and full-thickness burn area of 25.00% (10.00%, 40.00%) TBSA. The patients were mainly combined with moderate to severe inhalation injury and caused by flame burns. There were 43 cases with underlying medical diseases. The majority of patients were admitted to the hospital within 8 hours after injury. There were statistically significant differences between patients in the 2 groups in terms of age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, and inhalation injury, and PT, APTT, D-dimer, FDP, INR, white blood cell count, platelet count, urea, serum creatinine, blood glucose, blood sodium, uric acid, myoglobin, and urine volume within the first 24 hours of injury (with Z values of 2.37, 5.49, 5.26, 5.97, 2.18, 1.95, 2.68, 2.68, 2.51, 2.82, 2.14, 3.40, 5.31, 3.41, 2.35, 3.81, 2.16, and -3.82, respectively, P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences between two groups of patients in whether conducted with mechanical ventilation and whether applied with vasoactive drugs (with χ2 values of 9.44 and 28.50, respectively, P<0.05). Age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, serum creatinine within the first 24 hours of injury, and APTT within the first 24 hours of injury were the independent risk factors for the mortality within 28 days after injury in elderly patients with severe burns (with odds ratios of 1.17, 1.10, 1.10, 1.09, and 1.27, 95% confidence intervals of 1.03-1.40, 1.04-1.21, 1.05-1.19, 1.05-1.17, and 1.07-1.69, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions:The elderly patients with severe burns had the injuries mainly from flame burns, often accompanied by moderate to severe inhalation injury and enhanced inflammatory response, elevated blood glucose levels, activated fibrinolysis, and impaired organ function in the early stage, which are associated with their prognosis. Age, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, and serum creatinine and APTT within the first 24 hours of injury are the independent risk factors for death within 28 days after injury in this population.

Objective:To explore the effect of multidisciplinary management combined with 60-second high-risk diabetic foot screening in diabetic foot.Methods:From January to December 2022, 138 patients with diabetic foot were selected from Xinxiang Central Hospital by convenience sampling. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 69 cases in each group. Control group implemented routine follow-up management of diabetic foot, and observation group carried out multidisciplinary management combined with 60-second high-risk diabetic foot screening on the basis of control group, and the intervention lasted for six months. The progress of Wagner grading of diabetic foot and foot self-care were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, the number of Wagner grading progression patients in observation group and control group was four cases (5.80%) and 10 cases (14.49%), respectively. The number of progression patients in observation group was less than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=4.161, P=0.041). The total score and dimension scores of diabetic foot self-management in the two groups after the intervention were higher than those before the intervention, but only the scores of observation group before and after the intervention were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the total score and dimension scores of diabetic foot self-management in observation group were higher than those in control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Multidisciplinary management combined with 60-second high-risk diabetic foot screening can effectively delay the progress of diabetic foot and improve patients' foot self-care.

Objective To review the characteristics of animal models of sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease(SPID)to provide a reference for standardizing the modeling process and improving the modeling rate.Methods Literature relevant to animal models of SPID from the past 40 years was searched,and animal species,modeling method,modeling cycles,modeling substances,positive control drugs,and evaluation indexes were summarized and analyzed.Results A total of 243 study manuscripts were included,most of which induced the SPID model in rats via the phenol paste or microbial infection method.The modeling cycles were typically between 14 and 16 days,and the success of the models was mostly determined by pelvic tissue morphology observation and pathological HE staining.Few research reports have focused on the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)disease combination model.Conclusions No consistent criteria have been established for SPID animal model modeling,and thus it is recommended that researchers evaluate changes to animal behavior,pelvic histomorphology,and pathology.TCM syndrome modeling lacks effective method and evaluation standards,which need further research and development.Finally,the selection and use of positive-control drugs need to be further explored and perfected.

Objective To explore the predictive value of pulse pressure variation(PPV),stroke volume variation(SVV)and their changing values after tidal volume increase from 6 mL/kg to 8 mL/kg predicted body weight(PBW)on the volumetric responsiveness in the patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods A prospective study was conducted.Twenty-three ARDS patients with acute circulatory failure treated in the intensive care unit(ICU)of this hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were se-lected.The indicators such as PPV,SVV and cardiac index were recorded at the tidal volume of 6 mL/kg PBW,1 min after tidal volume challenge(tidal volume instantly increased to 8 mL/kg PBW),the tidal volume re-reduced to 6 mL/kg PBW,and after fluid bolus(FB),respectively.The cardiac index increase(ΔCI)≥15％served as the volumetric responsiveness positive when the tidal volume was re-reduced to 6 mL/kg PBW and after giving FB.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of PPV,SVV and their changing values for the volumetric responsiveness after the tidal volume increase from 6 mL/kg to 8 mL/kg PBW.Results A total of 42 measurements were performed in 23 patients.Among them,24 set of measurements were volumetric responsiveness positive(group R),and 18 set of measurements were volumetric responsiveness negative(group NR).The absolute values(ΔPPV6-8,ΔSVV6-8)and percentage(％ΔPPV6-8,％ΔSVV6-8)of PPV and SVV in tidal volume increase from 6 mL/kg to 8 mL/kg PBW had statisti-cal differences between the two groups(P＜0.05).ΔPPV6-8 and ΔSVV6-8 could predict the volumetric respon-siveness in the patients with ARDS.The area under the ROC curve(AUC)and its 95％CI were 0.92(0.84-1.00)and 0.90(0.81-0.99),and the optimal cut off values were 2.5％and 3.5％,respectively.When the tid-al volume was 6 mL/kg PBW,the PPV,SVV and central venous pressure(CVP)could not effectively predict the volumetric responsiveness in the patients with ARDS.Conclusion The efficiency of PPV or SVV changing values after tidal volume challenge for predicting the volumetric responsiveness of ARDS patients during low tidal volume ventilation is superior to PPV and SVV.
