Parkinson’s disease （PD） is a common chronic neurodegenerative disease with movement disorders as the main clinical manifestation. The nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） signaling pathway is closely associated with the occurrence and progression of PD. TCM flavonoid monomers （luteolin， rutin， etc.）， alkaloids （camptothecin， sinomenine， and alkaloids extracted from Uncaria rhynchophylla）， terpenes （tanshinone ⅡA， carvacrol， paeoniflorin）， phenols （ellagic acid， rosmarinic acid）， saponins （ginsenoside RK1）， and traditional Chinese medicine compounds （Wuzi yanzong pill and PD formula-2） can resist oxidative stress damage， inhibit inflammatory responses and abnormal aggregation of α-synuclein， and regulate neurotrophic factors by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway， thereby alleviating dopaminergic neuronal damage.

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world， with its morbidity and mortality ranking at the top. The early symptoms are not obvious， and the biological structure is complex， so many patients have missed the optimal treatment time. At present， the treatment of lung cancer in modern medicine is dominated by first-line chemotherapy and surgical treatment with platinum-containing regimen， which has relatively large side effects， poor prognosis， and a high risk of metastasis and recurrence. With the gradual rise of targeted therapy and immunotherapy for lung cancer， the overall recovery of patients with lung cancer is still poor and the survival rate is low， despite more abundant treatment methods. From the perspective of holistic concept and syndrome differentiation， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） plays an important role in the prognosis of tumor patients， with many targets， a wide range and light toxic and side effect. Modern studies have shown that the occurrence and development of lung cancer are closely related to the abnormality of multiple signaling pathways， and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway， as one of the most important pathways in cancer， is involved in the whole process of lung cancer development by regulating the expression of related signaling proteins and genes. In recent years， many studies have confirmed that TCM monomers and TCM compounds can inhibit the epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） process of lung cancer and the activity of lung cancer stem cells （LCSCs） by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway， induce lung cancer cell apoptosis， inhibit the proliferation， invasion and migration of lung cancer cells， and thus play an anti-lung cancer role. In recent years， research in this field has made breakthroughs， but there is a lack of systematic reviews and summaries. Thus， this paper reviewed relevant literature worldwide to analyze and interpret the mechanism of TCM intervention in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway against lung cancer. The TCM monomers targeted to regulate this signaling pathway were summarized in four categories： promoting blood circulation for removing blood stasis， clearing heat and removing dampness， clearing heat and removing toxicity， and awakening the spirit. TCM compounds included Buzhong Yiqitang， Xuefu Zhuyutang， et al. This study aims to provide new ideas for clinical research and drug development for lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the top cause of cancer deaths globally.Advances in immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)have transformed cancer treatment,but their use in lung cancer has led to more side effects.This study examined if past pulmonary tuberculosis(TB)affects ICIs'effectiveness and safety in lung cancer treatment.We reviewed lung cancer patients treated with ICIs at Beijing Chest Hospital from January 2019 to August 2022.We compared outcomes and side effects between patients with and without prior TB.Of 116 patients(40 with TB history,76 without),prior TB didn't reduce treatment effectiveness but did increase severe side effects.Notably,older patients(≥65 years)faced a higher risk of severe side effects.Detailed cases of two patients with severe side effects underscored TB as a risk factor in lung cancer patients receiving ICIs,stressing the need for careful monitoring and personalized care.

AIM: To observe the clinical efficacy of multi -glycoside of tripterygium wilfordii (GTW) on diabetic nephropathy. METHODS: Fifty-one patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) with a history of GTW dosing admitted to the outpatient clinic of Yijishan Hospital affiliated to Wannan Medical College from June 2019 to October 2022 were selected as study subjects, and were followed up regularly to observe the changes in laboratory indexes before and after GTW dosing and adverse drug reactions after 6 months of treatment. The t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test or χ

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and the level of blood lipids among Tajik people in Pamir Plateau, Xinjiang, and explore the related factors of dyslipidemia. Methods: It is a retrospective cross-sectional study. A multi-stage cluster random sampling survey was conducted among 5 635 Tajiks over 18 years old in Tashkorgan Tajik Autonomous County, Xinjiang Province from May to October 2021. Data were collected through questionnaire survey (general information, medical history, and personal history), physical examination (height, weight, waist, and blood pressure) and blood test (total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density cholesterol (HDL-C)) to analyze the dyslipidemia and its risk factors among Tajiks. Results: The age of Tajik participants was (41.9±15.0) years, including 2 726 males (48.4%). The prevalence of borderline high TC, high LDL-C and high TG levels were 17.2%, 14.7% and 8.9%, respectively. The prevalence of high TC, high LDL-C, high TG and low HDL-C were 4.1%, 4.9%, 9.4% and 32.4%, respectively, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 37.0%. There is a positive correlation between male,higher education level, higher body mass index (BMI) value,waist circumference, living in town, smoking and dyslipidemia. Conclusions: The low prevalence of high TC, high LDL-C, high TG and high prevalence of low HDL-C was a major characteristic of Tajik people in Pamir Plateau of Xinjiang. The lower rates of overweight and obesity may be one of the reasons for the lower prevalence of dyslipidemia among Tajik.

Objective:To screen highly expressed inflammatory factors in diabetic nephropathy models using protein microarray, analyze differential genes and their regulatory networks, and predict potential therapeutic small molecular compounds.Methods:The inflammatory factor microarray was used to screen the inflammatory factors with the same tendency in the cell model and animal model of diabetic nephropathy. The differential genes screened by R language were enriched and analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG). STRING builds a protein interaction network online, Cytoscape software analyzes the core subnetwork, and Connectivity Map searches for and predicts small molecule compounds.Results:Diabetic nephropathy model was established using 16-week-old db/db mice and mesangial cells stimulated with high glucose, and the expression of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1(CXCL1) was elevated in both models. Multiple GEO datasets indicated a strong association between the high expression of CXCL1 and diabetic nephropathy. Specifically, GSE30122 showed an upregulation of 30 genes and a downregulation of 23 genes. GO enrichment analysis focused on biological processes such as humoral immunity and lipopolysaccharide response; While KEGG enrichment was mainly in pertussis and coagulation cascade pathways. CytoHubba identified 10 hub genes, such as ALB, LUM, and CXCL1. In addition, 10 small molecule compounds were predicted as potential therapeutic drugs using Connectivity Map.Conclusions:CXCL1 may serve as a key gene in the occurrence and development of diabetic nephropathy. ALB, LUM, CXCL1, MMP7, TGFBI, CCL2, S100A4, SOX9, VCAN, and CLU may participate in the regulatory network centered around CXCL1. There are 10 small molecular compounds demenestrating the potential to be therapeutic agents.

Objective:To investigate the distribution and related factors of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] level in healthy Tajik and Kazak adults in China.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to October 2021 and March to June 2022, and blood samples were collected from 2, 637 healthy Tajik adults [1 010 men, average age: (40.08±14.74) years; 1 627 women, average age: (38.27±12.90) years] in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County and 1 911 healthy Kazak adults [720 men, average age: (42.10±12.26) years; 1 191 women, average age: (38.27±12.90) years] in Fuyun County of Xinjiang. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), creatinine (Cr), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and Lp(a) were measured. The distribution of Lp(a) levels in different sex and age groups was compared. The Lp(a) level of Tajik and Kazakh ethnic groups was compared by Mann-Whitney U test, and correlation factors of Lp(a) level were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. Results:The distribution of Lp(a) level in Tajik and Kazak population was skewed. Lp(a) levels of Tajik and Kazak ranged from the lowest 0.40 mg/L and 0.62 mg/L to the highest 1 229.40 mg/L and 2 108.58 mg/L, respectively, and the median Lp(a) level was 78.90 (38.60, 190.20) mg/L and 103.30 (49.57, 234.27) mg/L, respectively. Median Lp(a) level of Kazak was significantly higher than that of Tjik ( P<0.001). The median Lp(a) levels of Tajik males and females were similar: 77.45 (39.80, 187.10) mg/L and 79.90 (38.60, 192.30) mg/L ( P=0.948). The median Lp(a) levels of Kazakh males and females were also similar: 109.42 (50.49, 230.38) mg/L and 99.01 (49.11, 237.25) mg/L, respectively ( P=0.578). After pooling the data of Tajik and Kazak and adjusting for age, sex, BMI, smoking, drinking, blood pressure, blood glucose and other factors, Lp(a) level was correlated with ethnic (standard partial regression coefficient 0.066, P=0.008) and LDL-C level (standard partial regression coefficient 0.136, P<0.001). Conclusions:Lp(a) level in healthy Tajik and Kazak adults varied greatly among individuals, and Kazak residents had a higher Lp(a) level than Tajik residents. There was no significant sex difference in Lp(a) level among Tajik and Kazakh, and LDL-C and ethnicity are independent factors related to Lp(a) level.

AIM: To investigate the effect of low-dose aspirin on primary prevention of non-fatal myocardial and cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: From January 2015 to December 2016,40-90 years old patients with type 2 diabetes were treated in the Department of Endocrinology of Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College for more than 2 times (the interval of hospitalization was more than 3 months) , we use the hospital's his system to search out-patient and in-patient files, patients were divided into aspirin group and non-aspirin group according to the use of low-dose aspirin within 1 year after the first visit, the basic data of the first visit were collected: name, sex, age, course of diabetes, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, patients were recorded for laboratory markers including fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, triglyceride, total cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, creatinine, and platelets, complications such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, hyperlipidemia, diabetic nephropathy and arteriosclerosis were recorded. A Chi square test and a Cox proportional hazard model were used to compare baseline data and cerebrovascular disease after the first use of aspirin. RESULTS: Of the 4 176 patients, 2 137 were type 2 diabetes, 417 were eligible for admission, including 198 males, 219 females, 224 aspirin users and 193 non-users. There was no significant difference in the incidence of cerebral infarction between the aspirin group and the non-aspirin group (χ2=0.820, P=0.365). The incidence of non-fatal myocardial infarction was lower than that of the aspirin non-aspirin group (χ2=10.099, P=0.01) , the incidence of massive hemorrhage was significantly higher than that of aspirin-free group χ2=5.425, P=0.020) . In a subgroup analysis of aspirin use, patients younger than 60 years of age had a lower incidence of ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction) and a risk ratio of 0.428 (95%CI: 0.255-0.719, P=0.001) compared with patients older than 60 years of age, the incidence of cerebral infarction was higher in female patients with a risk ratio of 1.574 (95%CI: 1.018-2.434, P=0.041). CONCLUSION: In this study of patients with type 2 diabetes, low-dose aspirin reduced the incidence of nonfatal myocardial infarction but had no significant effect on the incidence of nonfatal ischemic stroke, and significantly increase the incidence of major bleeding events, we should reconsider the use of low-dose aspirin as a potential benefit of nonfatal cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes.
