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.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the antitumor activity of Periplaneta americana extract（PAE） against human-derived lung adenocarcinoma organoids（LUAD-PDOs） and to elucidate its potential mechanism based on transcriptomics. MethodsFresh tumor and adjacent normal tissues from patients with LUAD were collected to construct LUAD-PDOs and normal lung organoid（Nor-PDOs） models using 3D organoid culture technology. The effective intervention concentration of PAE was determined using the cell counting kit-8（CCK-8） assay. Experimental groups included the model group（LUAD-PDOs）， normal group， model administration group（LUAD-PDOs+PAE）， and normal administration group（Nor-PDOs+PAE）. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the pathological structures of PDOs， immunohistochemistry（IHC） was performed to detect the expressions of the proliferation marker Ki-67 and lung adenocarcinoma differentiation markers cytokeratin-7（CK-7） and Napsin A， TUNEL staining was applied to detect cell apoptosis. RNA sequencing（RNA-Seq） was conducted to identify differentially expressed genes（DEGs）， followed by Gene Ontology（GO）， Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis（GSEA）， alongside protein-protein interaction（PPI） network analysis to screen core mechanisms. Finally， key targets were validated by integrating external database analysis with immunofluorescence（IF）. ResultsNor-PDOs and LUAD-PDOs that highly recapitulated the pathological characteristics of the primary tissues were successfully established. The CCK-8 assay determined that the effective intervention concentration of PAE was 16 g·L^-1. Morphological observation showed that Nor-PDOs exhibited lumen-forming structures， whereas LUAD-PDOs displayed dense， solid structures. CCK-8 and TUNEL assays revealed that， compared with the model group， PAE intervention inhibited the proliferation of LUAD-PDOs and promoted apoptosis in LUAD cells， while showing no significant effect on the viability of Nor-PDOs. Transcriptomic analysis identified 719 DEGs that were significantly reversed after PAE intervention（347 up-regulated and 372 down-regulated）（P<0.05）. GO enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs in the model administration group were significantly enriched in biological processes related to cell cycle regulation compared to the model group. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that PAE affected pathways related to proliferation and metabolism， including pathways in cancer and the p53 signaling pathway. GSEA further confirmed that PAE significantly enhanced the activity of the p53 signaling pathway（P<0.05）. PPI network analysis indicated that breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein（BRCA1） and checkpoint kinase 1（CHEK1） were the core down-regulated targets in the p53 pathway. IF verified the high expression of BRCA1 and CHEK1 in LUAD-PDOs and their significant downregulation after PAE intervention（P<0.05）. Furthermore， survival analysis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas（TCGA） database indicated that low expression of BRCA1 and CHEK1 was significantly associated with prolonged overall survival in patients with LUAD（P<0.05）. ConclusionPAE effectively inhibits proliferation of LUAD-PDOs and promotes their apoptosis， its anti-tumor mechanism is potentially associated with the activation of the p53 signaling pathway， with BRCA1 and CHEK1 genes likely serving as key downstream targets for the effects of PAE.

BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behavior is highly prevalent during adolescence. Previous studies have mainly focused on the relationship between NSSI behavior and emotional regulation， pain perception， reward mechanisms， and impulsivity. However， the cognitive mechanisms underlying the occurrence and maintenance of NSSI behavior have not been sufficiently explored. Adolescence is a critical period for the development of cognitive control. However， it remains unclear whether adolescents with depressive disorder accompanied by NSSI behavior have abnormal cognitive control. ObjectiveTo reveal the potential deficits in cognitive control among adolescents with depressive disorder accompanied by NSSI behavior. MethodsThis study was a case-control study including 166 adolescent patients who visited the Third People's Hospital of Lanzhou from November 2024 to May 2025 and met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5）. According to whether they had NSSI behavior or not， patients were divided into the NSSI group （n=86） and the non-NSSI group （n=80）. At the same time， healthy adolescents who passed mental health screenings in five public middle schools in the northwest region were selected as the control group （n=71）. All participants completed the color-word Stroop task， and the accuracy rates and reaction time in congruent and incongruent conditions of each group were recorded， and the interference effect based on accuracy rates and reaction time was calculated. ResultsIn terms of accuracy rate， the main effect of trial type was statistically significant （F=46.900， P<0.01， ηp²=0.160）， and the interaction effect between group and trial type was also statistically significant （F=3.390， P=0.035， ηp²=0.028）. In terms of reaction time， the main effect of trial type was statistically significant （F=72.020， P<0.01， ηp²=0.240）， and the interaction effect between group and trial type was also statistically significant （F=6.400， P=0.002， ηp²=0.050）. Simple effect analysis revealed that under both congruent and incongruent conditions， the reaction time of the NSSI group was longer than those of the non-NSSI group and the control group， and the reaction time of the non-NSSI group was also longer than that of the control group （P<0.01）. There were statistically significant differences in the interference effects among three groups based on reaction time （H=10.231， P=0.006）. The interference effect in the NSSI group was higher than that in the control group （Z=3.012， P_adj=0.008） and the non-NSSI group （Z=2.453， P_adj=0.043）. There was no statistically significant difference in the interference effect among the three groups based on accuracy rate （H=5.666， P=0.059）. ConclusionAdolescents with depressive disorder accompanied by NSSI behavior exhibit cognitive control deficits beyond depressive symptoms， particularly showing impaired conflict suppression ability. ［Funded by Lanzhou Municipal Health Industry Scientific Research Project （number，A2026019）］

BACKGROUND:Eucommia ulmoides has a certain osteogenic effect,which can promote the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.However,it is unclear whether Eucommia ulmoides has effects on alveolar bone formation and Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanism by which Eucommia ulmoides promotes alveolar bone formation in ovariectomized rats based on the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway. METHODS:Sixty female Sprague-Dawley rats were selected and randomly divided into five groups:blank control group,sham-operation group,model group,low-dose group Eucommia ulmoides group,and high-dose Eucommia ulmoides group,with twelve rats in each group.Osteoporosis animal models were constructed by bilateral oophorectomy in the model group and the low-dose and high-dose Eucommia ulmoides groups.The sham-operation group underwent the same method to remove adipose tissue of equal mass around the bilateral ovaries.Three months after surgery,the low-and high-dose Eucommia ulmoides groups were given 2.1 g/kg/d and 4.2 g/kg/d Eucommia ulmoides by gavage,respectively.The sham-operation group and model group were given the same amount of physiological saline by gavage.After 12 weeks of drug intervention,the changes in alveolar bone mass of rats in each group were observed through Micro-CT;hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological structural changes of alveolar bone in rats;enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the expression levels of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin in the serum of rats;western blot was used to detect the expression levels of β-Catenin and Frizzled9 receptor proteins in the alveolar bone of rats;and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of osteocalcin,Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2),alkaline phosphatase,β-catenin,and frizzled9 mRNAs in alveolar bone tissues of rats. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the blank control group,bone volume fraction,trabecular number,trabecular thickness,and bone mineral density were reduced in the model group(P＜0.05),and trabecular separation was elevated(P＜0.05).Pathological observation showed that the arrangement of trabeculae was disordered and irregular,the trabeculae were thinned or broken,and the marrow cavity was enlarged in the model group,with a significant reduction in bone volume;the level of alkaline phosphatase in the serum was increased(P＜0.05),and the level of osteocalcin was decreased(P＜0.05);mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase,osteocalcin,Runx2,β-catenin,and frizzled9 were decreased(P＜0.05);protein expression of β-Catenin and Frizzled9 was decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the low-and high-dose Eucommia ulmoides groups showed an increase in bone volume fraction,trabecular number,trabecular thickness,and bone mineral density(P＜0.05)and a decrease in trabecular separation(P＜0.05).In the low-and high-dose Eucommia ulmoides groups,bone trabeculae were slightly aligned and thickened,with a significant increase in bone mass.Compared with the model group,the serum level of alkaline phosphatase was reduced(P＜0.05)and the serum level of osteocalcin was elevated(P＜0.05)in the low-and high-dose Eucommia ulmoides groups.Compared with the model group,the mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase,osteocalcin,Runx2,β-catenin,and frizzled9 were increased in the low-and high-dose Eucommia ulmoides groups(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the protein expression of Frizzled9 was increased in the low-dose Eucommia ulmoides group(P＜0.05),while the protein expression of β-Catenin and Frizzled9 was increased in the high-dose Eucommia ulmoides group(P＜0.05).Compared with the low-dose Eucommia ulmoides group,the high-dose Eucommia ulmoides group had a more significant improvement in the above indexes.To conclude,Eucommia ulmoides can effectively promote the alveolar bone formation,and its mechanism of action might be related to the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of combined detection of serum secreted frizzled-related protein 5(SFRP5),fibroblast growth factor-21(FGF-21)and kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1)in di-abetic nephropathy(DN).Methods Patients with DN(n=53)who were treated in Jingnan Medical District,General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from December 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the study group,and patients with simple diabetes(n=53)were selected as the control group.The levels of ser-um SFRP5,FGF-21 and KIM-1 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of DN.The receiver operating char-acteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the efficacy of serum SFRP5,FGF-21 and KIM-1 levels in the di-agnosis of occurrence of DN.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of fasting blood glucose,u-rine albumin/urine creatinine,urine microalbumin,FGF-21 and KIM-1 in the study group were significantly increased(P<0.05),while the levels of glomerular filtration rate and SFRP5 were significantly decreased(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum SFRP5,FGF-21 and KIM-1 in the diagnosis of occur-rence of DN was 0.977,which was larger than that of each index alone(Zthree combination-SFRP5=2.759,P=0.006,Zthree combination-FGF-21=2.936,P=0.003,Zthree combination-KIM-1=3.104,P=0.002).The sensitivity of combined diagno-sis was 96.23%,the specificity was 88.68%,and the Youden index was 0.849.SFRP5,FGF-21,KIM-1,fast-ing blood glucose,glomerular filtration rate,urine albumin/urine creatinine,urine microalbumin were the in-fluencing factors of occurrence of DN(P<0.05).Conclusion The serum SFRP5 level is decreased and FGF-21 and KIM-1 levels are increased in DN patients.The combination of the three has the best diagnostic effi-ciency for occurrence of DN.

Objective To explore the value of serum soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-1(sTREM-1),interleukin-17(IL-17),and soluble Fas ligand(sFasL)in evaluating severity and prognosis of neonatal infection.Methods From November 2022 to November 2024,a total of 105 neonates with infections who visited the Department of Pediatrics in the hospital were labeled as infection group,and 105 healthy neo-nates were labeled as control group.Based on the severity of neonatal infection,the affected children were as-signed into extremely critical group,critical group,and non critical group.Based on prognosis,the affected children were grouped into adverse group and good group.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measured serum sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL for prognosis.Results The serum levels of sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL in the infection group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The serum sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL decreased in serum of extremely critical group,critical group,and non critical group in sequence(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation showed that serum sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL levels were positively correlated with disease severity(r=0.601,0.592,0.523,P＜0.05).The proportion of cesarean section,serum levels of sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL in the poor group were higher than those in the good group(P＜0.05),and the Apgar score was lower than that in the good group(P＜0.05).Logistic regression revealed that cesarean section,sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL were all factors affecting the adverse prognosis of neonatal infections(P＜0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum sTREM-1,IL-17,sFasL,and their combined detection in predicting adverse prognosis of neonatal in-fections was 0.781,0.788,0.768,and 0.879,respectively.The AUC of joint prediction was greater than those of individual prediction(Zcombination-sTREM-1=2.238,P=0.025,Zcombination-IL-17=2.014,P=0.044,Zcombination-sFasL=2.248,P=0.025).Conclusion Serum sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL levels in neonates with infections are man-ifestly elevated,and they are closely related to the severity and prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To explore the potential mechanisms of astragalin （AG） in allevating ulcerative colitis （UC） in mice through modulation of the intestinal flora. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal group （CON group）， model group [dextran sodium sulfate （DSS） group]， 5-aminosalicylic acid group （5-ASA group）， AG low-dose group and high-dose group （AGL and AGH groups）， with 8 mice in each group. The mice UC model was established by drinking 3% DSS solution continuously for 7 days in all groups except the CON group. After that， 3% DSS solution was replaced by water， and the mice of each drug group were gavaged with the corresponding drug solution. Mice in the CON and DSS groups were gavaged with an equal volume of normal saline， once a day， for 7 days. After the last gavage， the body weight change index， disease activity index （DAI） score， colon length and spleen index， and levels of inflammatory factors （tumor necrosis factor-α， interleukin-1β， interleukin-6） were compared among the mice in each group； pathological changes in colonic tissues of the mice were observed in each group， and the pathological score and the percentage of goblet cells were compared； mRNA expressions of barrier-related factors [occludin and ZO-1] and inflammation-related factors [silencing information regulatory factor 1 （SIRT1）， c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK） and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （p38 MAPK）] were detected in each group of mice； the changes in the intestinal flora of mice in each group were analyzed and the contents of intestinal metabolites short-chain fatty acids （SCFAs） was determined. Using DSS and AG-treated fecal bacterial liquid as an intervention， the mechanism of anti-UC effect of AG was further verified by a fecal microbiota transplant experiment. RESULTS Compared with the CON group， the intestinal mucosal structure of mice in the DSS group was severely damaged， with obvious infiltration of inflammatory cells collapsing the wall； their body weight change index， colon length， the percentage of goblet cells， mRNA expressions of occludin， ZO-1 and SIRT1， Chao1 and Shannon indexes， and contents of acetic acid and butyric acid were significantly reduced， shortened or down-regulated （P＜0.05）； however， DAI score， spleen index， levels of inflammatory factors， pathological score， as well as mRNA expressions of p38 MAPK and JNK， were all significantly increased or up-regulated （P＜0.05）. Compared with the DSS group， colon tissue lesions of AG mice in all dose groups showed different degrees of improvement， and the above quantitative indexes were generally regressed （P＜0.05）， and the intervention effect of AG-treated fecal bacterial fluid was basically the same as that of AG. CONCLUSIONS AG can improve relevant symptoms in UC mice and reduce their inflammatory response and colonic histopathological changes. The above effects may be related to regulating the diversity of intestinal flora in mice， increasing the contents of butyric acid and propionic acid， and promoting the repair of the colonic mucosal barrier， thus regulating the expressions of genes related to the SIRT1/p38 MAPK inflammatory pathway.

Malignant tumors(commonly referred to as cancer)represent a major global public health challenge and contribute significantly to the worldwide disease burden.Early screening plays a critical role in improving detection rates,enabling timely intervention,and enhancing pa-tient survival rates.However,current cancer screening guidelines primarily focus on site-specific screening,which may not fully address the need for comprehensive early detection.A scientifical-ly rational,multi-cancer screening approach offers several advantages:it optimizes the use of bio-logical samples,reduces time costs for participants,enhances the efficiency and comprehensive-ness of screening,and minimizes overall expenses.Such an approach also facilitates the rational allocation of healthcare resources,ultimately helping to reduce the societal burden of cancer.To address this need,the Cancer Epidemiology Committee of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association has developed the Expert Consensus on Combined Screening for Common Cancers in China.This consensus integrates multidisciplinary expertise and synthesizes the latest domestic and interna-tional researches on cancer screening,early detection,and treatment for prevalent malignancies.Drawing upon China's unique demographic and healthcare context,as well as practical screening experiences,the consensus provides evidence-based recommendations on target populations,screening technologies,and procedural workflows for multi-cancer screening.These guidelines align with the principles and methodologies established by the World Health Organization(WHO),aiming to:enhance the effectiveness of combined cancer screening in China,improve early detec-tion rates,and provide a scientific foundation for national cancer prevention and control strategies.
