Objective To analyze and summarize the research hotspots and trends in inflammation-related research in colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods Studies on CRC and inflammation from 2000 to 2023 were retrieved from the Web of Science core collection. VOSviewer, CiteSpace, the Bibliometrix R package, and Scimago Graphica were used for bibliometric and visual analysis. Results The annual publication volume in this field has increased year by year, with significant contributions from countries such as the United States, China, and the United Kingdom. Harvard University, the National Cancer Institute, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University are the top three institutions in terms of publication volume in this field. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is the journal that has published the most research literature in this field. Hébert JR is the author who published the most papers. Several longstanding research teams have been formed, but relatively lacking cooperation between teams. The effect of inflammation on the occurrence, development, treatment, and prognosis of colorectal cancer and its molecular mechanisms are the main focus of research in this field. Conclusion “Fusobacterium nucleatum” “immunotherapy” “drug delivery” “gut microbiota” “tumor microenvironment” “metabolites” and “network pharmacology” are the hotspots and frontiers of research in this field. Further exploration of the correlation between inflammation and CRC and the mechanisms of their mutual influence, optimization of prevention strategies for CRC, and exploration of new therapeutic targets and treatments are future research trends.

Objective:To explore the damage of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) to the subbasal nerve plexus (SNP) and its related mechanisms by comparing SNP changes in wide-field mosaic between before and after PRP treatment in diabetic patients.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted.Fifty-seven patients (114 eyes) with type 2 diabetes mellitus and binocular diabetic retinopathy (DR) stage IV to receive PRP treatment in Shanxi Eye Hospital from April to November 2019 were enrolled.The subjects were randomly divided into horizontal-vertical laser group and vertical-horizontal laser group according to a random number table.Twenty-nine eyes from 29 patients were assigned to the horizontal-vertical laser group with the photocoagulation sequence of temporal-nasal-inferior-superior.Twenty-eight eyes from 28 patients were assigned to the vertical-horizontal laser group with the photocoagulation sequence of inferior-superior-temporal-nasal.The severer eyes of each subject were chosen as the treatment eye and the contralateral eyes were chosen as the control eye.Corneal confocal laser scanning microscopy (CCM) was performed before PRP treatment, 1 week after each photocoagulation, and 1 month after the completion of PRP treatment to collect images of the SNP over an area of 2-3 mm around the whorl-like pattern.Captured images at each time were merged into one image by using the Photoshop CC 2017 image processing software, and then the nerve fiber length (NFL) of whorl-like pattern was measured by Neuron J image analysis software.McGill pain questionnaire was used to investigate the pain of patients after each photocoagulation.The NFL changes of SNP at different time points were compared between different eyes and different photocoagulation sequence groups.The study protocol adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by an Ethics Committee of Shanxi Eye Hospital (No.201804b). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to entering the study cohort.Results:After PRP treatment, there were different degrees of neural structure loss of SNP nerve fibers in 11 treatment eyes, but there was no significant change in SNP nerve fibers in the control eyes.There were significant differences in NFL between the treatment eyes and the control eyes at various time points ( Feyes=2.020, P=0.039; Ftime=4.062, P=0.001). In the horizontal-vertical laser group, different degrees of neural structure loss on the photocoagulation side were found in SNP nerve fibers after the first and second photocoagulation.In the vertical-horizontal laser group, different degrees of neural structure loss on the photocoagulation side were found in SNP nerve fibers after the third and fourth photocoagulation.There was no significant difference in NFL of treatment eyes between the two groups ( Fgroup=0.099, P=0.754), but there was a significant difference in NFL at various time points before and after treatment ( Ftime=5.231, P<0.001). There were 9 (9/57) patients who complained of pain after PRP, which occurred at the first time of photocoagulation in 7 of them. Conclusions:SNP damage may occur after PRP in patients with DR, and SNP is prone to be damaged on the photocoagulation side when performing horizontal photocoagulation.

Objective:To investigate the distribution and clinical significance of subtypes of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA)-M2, M4, M9 in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).Methods:A total of 1 367 patients were detected with AMA-M2, M4, M9 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) from Jan 2014 to Dec 2019 and the clinical parameters were collected. The distribution patterns of AMA subtypes in different groups were analyzed and the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of AMA subtypes in PBC were calculated. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:In 1 367 patients, 236 of whom were positive for AMA subtypes. The positivity of AMA subtypes in female was significantly higher than in male (20.34% vs 9.41%, χ2=23.792, P<0.01). In addition, the positivity of AMA subtypes was significantly higher in 30-65 years old patients than in patients younger than 30 years old or older than 65 years old [(20.00%(193/965) vs 10.97%(17/155) vs 10.53%(26/247), χ2=17.209, P<0.01]. 110 patients with positive AMA subtypes were diagnosed with PBC. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of AMA-M2 were both desirable [94.64%(106/112) and 92.35%(1 159/1 255)]. Although the specificity of AMA-M4 was as high as 99.12%(1 244/1 255), its sensitivity was very low [15.18%(17/122)]. Combined detection of different AMA subtypes could not improve the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity significantly. Diseases other than PBC can be positive for AMA subtypes, predominantly for AMA-M2. Conclusion:Female and 30-65 years old patients were more frequently positive for AMA subtypes. AMA-M2 was the most valuable AMA subtype for diagnosing PBC.

Objective:To systematically review the therapeutic effect of continuous high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ventilation in patients with non-acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (non-ALI/ARDS) under general anesthesia mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:PubMed, JBI Evidence-based Nursing Center Library, Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, Wanfang Date, CNKI and VIP Database were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) and clinical controlled trials (CCT) using different levels of PEEP for the treatment of patients (uncombined ALI/ARDS) in ICU. The search period was from January 1st, 1990 to November 30th, 2018. Compared with the control group, the experimental group was treated with relatively high levels of PEEP ventilation. Outcome indicators were hospital mortality or 28-day mortality, partial oxygen pressure, and incidence of ARDS, atelectasis, and lung infections, etc. The RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results:Twelve articles were included, all of which were RCT studies; with 2 Chinese articles and 10 English articles. Meta-analysis showd that there was no statistically significant difference in the effect of different levels of PEEP on the mortality of patients [hospital mortality: odds ratio ( OR) = 1.06, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.57 to 1.96, P = 0.85; 28-day mortality: OR = 0.34, 95% CI was 0.09 to 1.32, P = 0.12]. Compared with low PEEP, persistently high PEEP could increase the patient's partial oxygen pressure [weighted mean difference ( WMD) = 48.27, 95% CI was 22.56 to 73.97, P = 0.000 2], prevent the occurrence of ARDS ( OR = 0.32, 95% CI was 0.13 to 0.82, P = 0.02), and decrease the incidence of lung infection ( OR = 0.52, 95% CI was 0.30 to 0.89, P = 0.02), but there was no significant difference in the incidence of atelectasis between the two groups ( OR = 0.69, 95% CI was 0.23 to 2.06, P = 0.51). Conclusion:In the treatment of patients in ICU with non-ALI/ARDS under general anesthesia mechanical ventilation, using relatively high levels of PEEP (10-16 cmH 2O, 1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa) instead of low levels of PEEP (≤8 cmH 2O) can significantly increase the partial oxygen pressure and significantly reduce the incidences of ARDS and lung infection.

Major air pollutants include particulate matter, ozone, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, etc. Recent posts have confirmed that air pollution has a variety of adverse health effects on people's health.For professional people, because of occupational hazards of these major atmospheric pollutants also exist in the workplace, is likely to suffer from the double hazards of occupational hazards and air pollutants in the workplace, if similar pollutants are present in the home, the daily exposure concentration of the occupational population may be significantly higher than that of the general population. Exposure limits and testing methods for major atmospheric pollutants (particulate matter or dust, ozone, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide) are set by relevant standards in workplace air, ambient air and indoor air. However, due to different places and different management departments, there are differences in the detection methods of the same indicators, which brings difficulties to estimate the total daily exposure level. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the "consistency" of the detection method of relevant pollutants in the air, in order to provide scientific basis for estimating the daily exposure level of pollutants in different populations.

Objective:To establish a solvent desorption gas chromatography method for determination of cyclohexene in workplace air.Methods:Cyclohexene in the air of workplace was collected with carbon tube and desorbed by carbon disulfide. The target toxicant was separated with the GC column and analyzed with FID detector, identified by retention time, and quantified by peak area.Results:The linear range of cyclohexene in the air of workplace was 0.77~4 050.00 μg/ml, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9999. The limit of detection was 0.23 μg/ml. The lower limit of quantification was 0.77 μg/ml. The minimum detectable concentration was 0.15 mg/m 3 under1.5 L sampling volume and 1.0 ml extraction solution volume. The within-run precision of different cyclohexene concentrations was 0.62%~1.9% and the between-run precisions was 1.5%~3.5%; The average extraction efficiency was 96.4%; Penetration capacity (100 mg of carbon tube) was 29.4 mg; The average collection efficiency was 100%; The samples could be stored for 7 days at room temperature. When placed in 4 ℃ refrigerator, the samples could be stored for 14 days. The potential coexistence of cyclohexane, hexane, benzene, toluene and ethylbenzene with cyclohexene in the air did not interfere with the results of determination. Conclusion:This method has high sensitivity, precision, accuracy and lower limit of detection and it is applicable for determination of cyclohexene in workplace air.
