Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality rates globally. Current treatment methods for lung cancer primarily include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. However, the main limitations of these treatments are their side effects, the drug resistance, and the economic burden they impose. As a critical cancer pathway, the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway regulates tumor occurrence and development through multiple mechanisms by influencing various downstream targets. Consequently, the JAK/STAT signaling pathway offers a promising avenue for lung cancer treatment research. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the JAK/STAT signaling pathway plays a key role in the proliferation and growth of lung cancer cells, angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), metabolic alterations, remodeling of the immune microenvironment, and the development of treatment resistance. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has garnered increasing attention due to its minimal side effects, low economic burden, and its potential to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity when used in conjunction with Western medicine. In addition to traditional Chinese medicine compounds, a growing number of Chinese medicine monomers have come into the spotlight because of their more targeted effects. Numerous studies investigating the regulation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway by TCM in the treatment of lung cancer have demonstrated that TCM can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cells, tumor angiogenesis, and EMT, improve the inflammatory and immunosuppressive microenvironments, and enhance treatment sensitivity by intervening in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, thereby impeding the progression of lung cancer. In recent years, the research on the regulation of this pathway by TCM in the treatment of lung cancer has been updated rapidly. However, the summary of these studies has not been updated in time. This review summarizes and reflects on the recent research findings regarding the regulation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway by TCM to intervene in lung cancer from three aspects, introducing the JAK/STAT pathway, elaborating the mechanism of this pathway in lung cancer, and exploring the intervention of TCM in the treatment of lung cancer through this pathway, to provide more reference for the treatment of lung cancer in the future.

To evaluate the effects of abdominal belts in colonoscopy for patients with low body mass index (BMI) (BMI<18.5 kg/m2) or a history of abdominal surgery, a prospective, randomized, single-blind study was conducted on colonoscopy outpatients. Patients with low BMI or a history of abdominal surgery who underwent colonoscopy at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2018 to January 2022 were enrolled. The patients were divided into the abdominal belts group and non-abdominal belts group according to whether they used abdominal belts. Differences between the two groups were compared in terms of cecal intubation time, length of colonoscope intubation into the cecum, patient repositioning, abdominal pressure, and degree of abdominal distension. A total of 296 patients (98 low BMI patients and 198 patients with a history of abdominal surgery) were enrolled, 148 in each group. The results showed that cecal intubation time (4.35±1.85 min VS 7.99±3.86 min, t=35.624, P<0.001) and length of colonoscope intubation into the cecum (72.03±10.35 cm VS 86.42±17.71 cm, t=38.442, P<0.001) were lower in the abdominal belts group, compared with those of the non-abdominal belts group. The percentage of patients requiring repositioning [18.9% (28/148) VS 71.6% (106/148), χ2=82.959, P<0.001] and abdominal pressure [6.1% (9/148) VS 52.7% (78/148), χ2=77.504, P<0.001] in the abdominal belts group were significantly lower than those in the non-abdominal belts group. There were significant differences in the degree of abdominal distension during and after colonoscopy ( P<0.001). In conclusion, the use of abdominal belts significantly improves the efficiency and effects of colonoscope intubation in difficult colonoscopy patients with low BMI and a history of abdominal surgery.

Brain metastasis is a common and serious complication of breast cancer, which is commonly associated with poor survival and prognosis. In particular, the treatment of brain metastasis from triple-negative breast cancer (BM-TNBC) has to face the distinct therapeutic challenges from tumor heterogeneity, circulating tumor cells (CTCs), blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-tumor barrier (BTB), which is in unmet clinical needs. Herein, combining with the advantages of synthetic and natural targeting moieties, we develop a "Y-shaped" peptide pVAP-decorated platelet-hybrid liposome drug delivery system to address the all-stage targeted drug delivery for the whole progression of BM-TNBC. Inherited from the activated platelet, the hybrid liposomes still retain the native affinity toward CTCs. Further, the peptide-mediated targeting to breast cancer cells and transport across BBB/BTB are demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. The resultant delivery platform significantly improves the drug accumulation both in orthotopic breast tumors and brain metastatic lesions, and eventually exhibits an outperformance in the inhibition of BM-TNBC compared with the free drug. Overall, this work provides a promising prospect for the comprehensive treatment of BM-TNBC, which could be generalized to other cell types or used in imaging platforms in the future.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of rotavirus infection and susceptibility to Histo-Blood Group Antigens (HBGAs) in children with diarrhea under 5 years of age in Nanjing.Methods:Stool and corresponding saliva samples were collected from 295 children with acute diarrhea and 150 healthy children. Rotaviruses were detected in stool samples by antigen detection method, and rotavirus positive samples were genotyped by RT-PCR method. HBGA phenotype of saliva samples was determined by anti-tissue blood group monoclonal antibody ELISA method. Rotavirus infection and HBGA susceptibility were analyzed by statistical analysis.Results:In the case group, 139 (47.12%) of 295 samples were rotavirus positive, with G9[P8] genotype being the most common genotype (84.17%, 117/139). The proportion of fever ( χ2=34.81, P<0.001), vomiting ( χ2=25.01, P<0.001) and respiratory symptoms ( χ2=4.73, P=0.03) in rotavirus infected children, which were higher than those in non-rotavirus infected group, and the difference was statistically significant. In the ABO blood group system, type AB children were more likely to have diarrhea (95% CI: 1.029~2.622; P= 0.036), and type B children had a higher risk of rotavirus infection ( OR=1.783, 95% CI: 1.027~3.095, P= 0.039). In the secretory system antigens, secretory children were more prone to diarrhea and rotavirus infection, G9[P8] genotype infection was related to secretory phenotype ( OR=2.854, 95% CI: 1.641~4.962), and non-secretory children ( χ2=5.723, P=0.017) were less susceptible to rotavirus and G9[P8] genotype rotavirus infection. Conclusions:G9[P8] genotype was the main rotavirus infection in diarrhea children under 5 years of age in Nanjing, and individuals with secretory phenotype were more likely to be infected with G9[P8], which provided scientific basis for preventing and controlling rotavirus diarrhea in this area.

Objective:To analyze and integrate the illness experience of female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) .Methods:The qualitative studies on the illness experience in female SLE patients were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, China Biology Medicine disc, Wanfang Database, VIP, CNKI and other Chinese and English databases by computer. The retrieval period was from the database construction to April 30, 2021. The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Australian JBI Evidence-based Health Care Center (2017) Qualitative Research Quality Evaluation Standard, and the results were integrated and analyzed using the collection integration method.Results:A total of 9 literatures were included, which were classified into 13 categories and integrated into 4 integration results. First, the patients lacked disease knowledge, family and social support and they desired support. Second, the disease caused physical discomfort and impaired self-image to patients, and their daily life, work, and childbirth are restricted. Third, the disease brought a series of negative psychological experiences to patients. Fourth, patients learned to accept themselves and could actively adjust coping strategies.Conclusions:Over time, SLE patients can learn to accept themselves and coexist with the disease. It is recommended that medical staff give patients necessary guidance to help patients correctly understand the disease and provide individualized interventions to improve the quality of life of SLE patients.

Objective To explore the correlation between social support and pregnancy depression in Shenzhen. Methods From August 2018 and June 2020, a structured questionnaire survey was conducted among pregnant women who underwent pregnancy examination in a 3A-grade maternal & child health care hospital. A total of 1 396 questionnaires with complete information were collected. Chi-square test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to analyze the baseline characteristics. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI confidence interval between social support and pregnancy depression were estimated using logistics regression model. Subgroup analysis was also conducted. Results There were statistically significant differences in education level, medical insurance rate, household registration, family monthly income, proportion of multiparas, proportion of husbands being the only child, pregnancy stress and social support between the depression group and non-depression group. After multi-factors adjustment, the OR (95% CI) of the total social support score was 0.97(95%CI 0.95-0.99), the OR (95% CI) of the objective support dimension was 0.90(95% CI 0.87-0.94), and the P value of the interaction term multiplied by pregnancy term was less than 0.05. According to the stratified analysis of pregnancy, the total score of social support was significantly correlated with the depression status only in the third trimester, with an OR (95% CI) of 0.97 (95% CI 0.94-0.99). The objective support dimension was significantly correlated with depression status in the first and third trimesters, and the OR (95% CI) was 0.78 (95% CI 0.61-0.99) and 0.89 (95% CI 0.84-0.94), respectively. The OR of support utilization score in the third trimester was 0.91 (95% CI 0.83-0.99). Conclusion Social support was negatively correlated with depression during pregnancy and was particularly important in the third trimester. Various dimensions of social support were differentially correlated with pregnancy depression in each trimester. The objective support dimension was particularly important in the first and third trimesters.
