Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and the underlying mechanism. Methods Forty-five healthy adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control, model, and BMSCs groups. The model and BMSCs groups received a single irradiation dose of 20 Gy to the chest, while the control group did not receive X-ray irradiation. For the BMSCs group, an injection of 1 × 10⁶ BMSCs cells was administered via the tail vein within 6 h after irradiation. In the 5th week, the lung tissue was taken to observe pathological changes with HE staining; examine the expression of the inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) with immunohistochemical staining; observe the polarization of macrophages with immunofluorescence staining; and measure the expression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin proteins by Western blot. Results After radiation, the model group developed pulmonary vasodilation and congestion with septal thickening and inflammatory cell infiltration, and these changes were markedly reduced in the BMSCs group. The model group showed significantly down-regulated expression of IL-6 and TNF-α compared with significantly increased levels in the model group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Treatment with BMSCs significantly increased the polarization of lung macrophages towards the M2 type, while significantly decreasing the abnormally increased N-cadherin and vimentin levels in RILI mice (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Conclusion BMSCs have therapeutic effects for RILI mice, which may be through promoting macrophage polarization from M1 to M2.

Objective To investigate the role of hydrogen therapy in reducing radiation-induced lung injury and the specific mechanism. Methods Forty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, model group, hydrogen therapy group I, and hydrogen therapy group II. A mouse model of radiation-induced lung injury was established. The pathological changes in the lung tissue of the mice were examined with HE staining. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of surface markers of M1 and M2 macrophages to observe macrophage polarization. The expression of interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-10 in the lung tissue was measured by immunohistochemistry. The expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 and phosphorylated NF-κB (P-NF-κB) p65 was measured by Western blot. Results HE staining showed that compared with the control group, the model group exhibited alveolar septal swelling and thickening, vascular dilatation and congestion, and inflammatory cell infiltration in the lung tissue; the hydrogen groups had significantly reduced pathological damage and inflammatory response than the model group, with more improvements in hydrogen group II than in hydrogen group I. Immunohistochemical results showed that compared with those in the control group, the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased in the model group; the hydrogen groups showed significantly decreased IL-6 and TNF-α levels and a significantly increased level of the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 than the model group, which were more marked in hydrogen group II than in hydrogen group I. Immunofluorescence results showed that compared with the control group, the expression of the surface marker of M1 macrophages in the model group was significantly upregulated; the hydrogen groups showed significantly downregulated M1 marker and significantly upregulated M2 marker, and hydrogen group II showed significantly increased M2 marker compared with hydrogen group I. Western blot results showed that compared with that in the control group, the ratio of P-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 in the model group was significantly increased; the P-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 ratio was significantly reduced in the hydrogen groups than in the model group, and was significantly lower in hydrogen group II than in hydrogen group I. Conclusion Hydrogen inhalation therapy may reduce the inflammatory response of radiation-induced lung injury by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway to promote the polarization of the macrophage M1 subtype to the M2 subtype.

Objective To explore the application value of adjusting contrast medium dosage according to total body weight(TBW),lean body weight(LBW)and body surface area(BSA)in coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)of overweight patients.Methods A total of 150 patients with body mass index(BMI)≥24 kg/m2 undergoing CCTA examination were prospectively selected and randomly divided into TBW group,LBW group,and BSA group,with 50 patients in each group.All three groups used contrast medium iodixanol(320 mg I/mL)and the fixed injection time was 12 s.The dosage of contrast medium was 0.8 mL/kg(TBW);1.04 mL/kg(LBW)for male and 1.11 mL/kg(LBW)for female;BSA 30 mL/m2.The dosage and flow rate of contrast medium were compared among the three groups,the image quality was evaluated by subjective and objective ways,and the correlation between arterial enhancement and TBW,LBW and BSA were analyzed.Results According to a 5-point scale,the image quality of three groups met the clinical diagnostic requirements(both≥3 points).Compared with TBW group,the dosage of contrast medium in LBW group and BSA group decreased by 13.38％and 10.62％respectively,and the flow rate decreased by 13.41％and 10.61％respectively,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The coronary CT values,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)in LBW and BSA groups were lower than those in TBW group(P＜0.05),and the variation range of CT values in LBW group were the smallest.There were no statistical differences in subjective scores of image quality among the three groups(P＞0.05).The coronary CT values were slightly correlated with TBW(r=0.342,P=0.015),and were not correlated with LBW or BSA(r=-0.207,P=0.150;r=-0.204,P=0.156).Conclusion LBW is the best body index to calculate the dosage of contrast medium for coronary artery enhancement in overweight patients.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of iodinated contrast agent extravasation in tumor patients with intravenous high pressure injection, and to develop a nomogram model of contrast agent extravasation, so as to provide reference for the detection of extravasation risk factors before examination.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was used in this study. Two hundred and two tumor patients with iodinatedcontrast agent extravasation who underwent enhanced CT examination in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Shanxi People′s Hospital and Shanxi tumor Hospital from September 2021 to September 2023 were selected by random sampling method as the case group, and 202 tumor patients without iodinated contrast agent extravasation who underwent enhanced CT examination in the above 3 hospitals during the same period were randomly selected as the control group. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of iodinated contrast agent extravasation and a nomogram prediction model was established by R4.3.1 statistical software. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test were used to evaluate the predictive efficiency of the model.Results:A total of 404 tumor patients were included in this study. There were 97 males and 105 females in the case group, aged 30-88 (62.97 ± 0.91) years old; and 123 males and 79 females in the control group, aged 31-85 (61.38 ± 0.73) years old. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, sex, injection rate, contrast agent concentration, contrast osmotic concentration, long-term chemotherapy and nurses′ working years were independent risk factors for iodinated contrast agent extravasation ( OR values were 0.306-6.365, all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve predicted by the nomogram model was 0.814 (95% CI 0.714-0.875), the specificity was 78.1%, the sensitivity was 70.2%, the slope of calibration curve was close to 1, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test χ2 = 11.47, P>0.05. Conclusions:The nomogram model established in this study can accurately predict the risk of iodinated contrast agent extravasation in tumor patients, and provide a reference for the detection of high-risk factors of extravasation before examination.

MethodHPLC was used to establish the fingerprint of Yanghetang benchmark sample with ZORBAX SB-C₁₈ column（4.6 mm×250 mm， 5 μm）， the mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile（A） -0.05% phosphoric acid aqueous solution （containing 0.05% triethylamine solution）（B） for gradient elution（0-5 min， 2%-3%A； 5-15 min， 3%-5%A； 15-65 min， 5%-30%A； 65-90 min， 30%-70%A）， the flow rate was 1.0 mL·min^-1， the column temperature was 35 ℃， and the detection wavelength was 210， 260 nm. Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM） Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System （2012 edition） combined with cluster analysis， principal component analysis（PCA） and partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA） were used to evaluate the quality differences between different batches of Yanghetang benchmark samples， and to find the main chemical components responsible for the quality differences. ResultHPLC fingerprint of Yanghetang benchmark sample was established， 13 common peaks were identified and attributed to each common peak， including peaks 2 and 8 from Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， peaks 10 and 11 from Cinnamomi Cortex， peaks 1， 3-6 from fried Sinapis Semen， peak 13 from Ephedrae Herba， and peaks 7， 9， 12 from Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Eight of them were identified by comparing with control substance， which were 5-hydroxymethylfurfural（peak 2）， sinapine thiocyanate（peak 4）， glycyrrhizin（peak 7）， verbascoside（peak 8）， cinnamic acid（peak 10）， cinnamaldehyde（peak 11）， glycyrrhizic acid（peak 12） and ephedrine hydrochloride（peak 13）. The similarities of the HPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of Yanghetang benchmark samples with the control fingerprint were all greater than 0.80. The three chemometric methods could classify the samples into two categories. Eight differential components were screened out， among which 5-hydroxymethylfurfural， sinapine thiocyanate， verbascoside and ephedrine hydrochloride were identified. ConclusionThe established fingerprint analysis method is accurate， stable and reproducible， which basically reflects the overall chemical composition of Yanghetang benchmark sample， and can provide a basis for establishment of quality standards for compound preparations of this famous classical formula.
