[摘 要] 目的:探索外周免疫功能状态与肺癌转移的关联,筛选可用于肺癌转移“正虚”评估的外周血免疫标志物。方法:回顾性分析2023年3月至2025年4月期间上海中医药大学附属市中医医院收治的肺癌患者治疗前的外周血免疫标志物,根据是否存在远处转移,将患者分为无转移组与转移组,比较两组间免疫细胞和细胞因子的表达差异。将单因素分析P < 0.05的外周血免疫指标纳入多因素二元Logistic回归模型,以识别肺癌转移的独立预测因素。结果:共纳入193例肺癌患者(无转移组101例,转移组92例),两组在性别、年龄、吸烟史、饮酒史、病理类型间的差异均无统计学意义(均P > 0.05)。单因素分析显示,无转移组与转移组间有多项免疫指标存在显著差异(均P < 0.05),包括:淋巴细胞计数,CD3+、CD4+、CD8+ T、CD19+ B细胞及CD3-CD16+56+ NK细胞绝对计数,Treg细胞、CD8+CD28+ Treg细胞、G-MDSC和CD3-CD16+CD56+dim NK细胞百分率,以及细胞因子IL-1β、IL-6和IL-10水平。将差异性指标行二元Logistic回归分析,提示外周血中Treg细胞和CD8+CD28+ Treg细胞百分率是肺癌发生远处转移的独立预测因素[OR = 1.193, 95% CI(1.047, 1.36), P < 0.01; OR = 0.978, 95% CI(0.957, 0.999), P < 0.05]。结论:外周血免疫功能紊乱是肺癌转移“正虚”的生物学基础,本研究以量化指标证实外周免疫功能状态与肺癌转移的相关性,为“正虚伏毒”和“肿瘤转移态”理论提供了实证。

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the material basis of toad visceral oil(hereafter referred to as toad oil), and explore the pharmacological effect of toad oil on atopic dermatitis(AD). Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap/orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) were employed to comprehensively identify the chemical components in toad oil. The animal model of AD was prepared by the hapten stimulation method. The modeled animals were respectively administrated with positive drug(0.1% hydrocortisone butyrate cream) and low-and high-doses(1%, 10%) of toad oil by gavage. The effect of toad oil on AD was evaluated with the AD score, ear swelling rate, spleen index, and pathological section results as indicators. A total of 99 components were identified by UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS, including 14 bufadienolides, 7 fatty acids, 6 alkaloids, 10 ketones, 18 amides, and other compounds. After methylation of toad oil samples, a total of 20 compounds were identified by GC-MS. Compared with the model group, the low-and high-dose toad oil groups showed declined AD score, ear swelling rate, and spleen index, alleviated skin lesions, and reduced infiltrating mast cells. This study comprehensively analyzes the chemical composition and clarifies the material basis of toad oil. Meanwhile, this study proves that toad oil has a good therapeutic effect on AD and is a reserve resource of traditional Chinese medicine for external use in the treatment of AD.

Metastasis remains the primary cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent critical targets for metastasis prevention and treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine may prevent lung cancer metastasis through long-term intervention in CTC activity. Tiao-Shen-Zhi-Ai Formular (TSZAF) represents a Chinese medicine compound prescription utilized clinically for lung cancer treatment. This study combined three principal active ingredients from TSZAF into a novel TSZAF monomer combination (TSZAF mc) to investigate its anti-metastatic effects and mechanisms. TSZAF mc demonstrated significant inhibition of proliferation, migration, and invasion in CTC-TJH-01 and LLC cells, while inducing cellular apoptosis in vitro. Moreover, TSZAF mc substantially inhibited LLC cell growth and metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, TAZSF mc significantly suppressed the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and CXCL5 expression in lung cancer cells and tissues. Additionally, TAZSF mc notably reduced neutrophil infiltration in metastatic lesions. These findings indicate that TSZAF mc inhibits lung cancer growth and metastasis by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and reducing CXCL5 secretion, thereby decreasing neutrophil recruitment and infiltration. TSZAF mc demonstrates potential as an effective therapeutic agent for lung cancer metastasis.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of infections occurring during hospitalization in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) treated with new generation therapies (including immuno-modulatory drugs,proteasome inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies).Methods:The clinical data were collected from 155 patients with multiple myeloma who were treated in Shanxi Bethune Hospital from March,2017 to March,2022 and were retrospectively analyzed.For this study,the following therapies were considered to be new generation therapies:lenalidomide,pomadomide,bortezomib,ixazomib,daratumumab. The clinical characteristics and risk factors of infection were analyzed.Results:A total of 155 patients were included in this study.The median follow-up time was 20 months.Of 155 patients with MM,242 infection episodes were identified.Among the 242 infections,the incidence of clinically defined infection (CDI)was the highest (186,76.86%),followed by microbiologically defined infection (MDI)in 50 cases (20.66%),and fever at unknown focus (FUF)in 6 cases (2.48%).35 cases (14.46%)of bacteria,10 cases (4.13%)of viruses,and 5 cases (2. 07%)of fungi were clearly infected.The most common site of infection was the lower respiratory tract in 90 cases (37.19%),the upper respiratory tract in 83 cases (34.30%),and the digestive tract in 27 cases (11.16%).All-cause mortality was 8.39%(13/155).In univariate analysis,there was a higher correlation between ISS stage Ⅲ,the number of treatment lines ≥2,frail and infected patients with multiple myeloma.In multivariate analysis,ISS stage Ⅲ(OR=2.96,95%CI:1.19-7.40,P=0.02),the number of treatment lines ≥2 (OR=2.91,95%CI:1.13-7.51,P=0.03)and frail (OR=3.58,95%CI:1.44-8.89,P=0. 01)were risk factors for infection in patients with multiple myeloma in the era of new drugs.Conclusion:Patients with multiple myeloma treated with new agents are prone to bacterial infection during hospitalization.ISS stage Ⅲ,lines of therapy(≥2)and frail were associated with high risk for infection.

Objective:To accurately ascertain the whole genome sequencing and the composition of open reading frames (ORFs) of non-replicating Tiantan strain of vaccinia virus (NTV) using next-generation long-read sequencing technology.Methods:NTV, obtained from our laboratory stock, was amplified and purified on chicken embryo fibroblast cells(CEFs), and the full-length genomic nucleic acid of NTV was extracted. The PacBio HiFi sequencing platform was utilized for de novo assembly to obtain the complete genomic sequence of NTV. Using a homology annotation strategy, we identified its ORF composition and compared it with known non-replicating vaccinia virus strains. Results:The total length of NTV′s genome was 171 729 bp, with a GC content of 33%. Its unique inverted terminal repeat (ITR) region comprised hairpin structures, two tandem repeat regions, and three non-repeat regions. NTV contained 166 ORFs, with major differences observed in the ITR and its surrounding regions when compared to MVA-BN and NYVAC. These three strains shared a common set of 138 ORFs. NTV encoded six unique ORFs related to virus evasion of host antiviral response.Conclusions:This study accurately determines the whole genome sequencing and ORFs composition of NTV, and reveals its similarities and differences with other replication-deficient vaccinia virus strains, which pave a way for the development and application of the next generation of monkeypox vaccines and novel viral vectors.

Healthy lifestyles and good living habits are effective strategies and important approaches to prevent chronic non-communicable diseases. With the development of evidence-based medicine, the evidence translation system has made some achievements in clinical practice. There is, however, no comprehensive, professional and efficient system for translating lifestyle evidence globally. Therefore, the Health Lifestyle Evidence (HLSE) Group of Lanzhou University constructed the HLSE Evidence Translation System (

To systematically construct a guideline to provide a methodological guide for researchers to develop patient decision aids. Through a literature review of international methodological guidance for developing patient decision aids, sorting out the similarities and differences in the processes and methods for developing patient decision aids, and combining them with the topic discussion of the working group, the initial guideline was drafted. A total of 13 guidances was included, with the initial version containing 3 phases, 13 steps, and 48 points. We invited 19 multidisciplinary domain experts for forming consensus. The final version of the guideline contains 3 phases, 11 steps, and 24 points. The guideline has great potential to guide the development of patient decision aids in China and is expected to fill the methodological gap in the field. In the future, several rounds of pilot testing of the guideline based on specific decision issues will be conducted, and the guideline will be further revised and improved.
