Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the highest incidence rate and mortality in the world today. Although significant progress has been made in the treatment of lung cancer, its 5-year survival rate is still very low. Ferroptosis is a cell death mode characterized by an increase in intracellular free iron, lipid peroxidation, and accumulation of reactive oxygen species. More and more evidence suggests that ferroptosis plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of lung cancer, and exploring the mechanism of ferroptosis in lung cancer is of great significance for finding new diagnostic and treatment methods for lung cancer. This article reviews the regulatory mechanism of cell ferroptosis and its role in the occurrence and development of lung cancer, with the aim of providing new directions and ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.
Pain caused by surgery is an important clinical issue that seriously affects postoperative rehabilitation and health-related quality of life. Failure to effectively manage postoperative pain not only leads to a decrease in patient quality of life, increases medical expenses, but also has a negative impact on patient recovery. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to address the challenges of acute postoperative pain management, find effective management strategies, and improve the quality of pain management. This article summarizes the current status of acute postoperative pain management in recent years, including the mechanism of pain occurrence, pain assessment methods, drug and non drug management strategies, and predictive factors for chronic postoperative pain. It also looks forward to future research directions and application prospects.
Objective:To analyze the characteristics and clinical significance of ascites, peripheral blood lymph nodes, and cell subpopulations in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis caused by alcoholic liver disease.Methods:Sixty decompensated liver cirrhosis patients with alcoholic liver disease admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical Unversity from July 2020 to July 2022 were selected as the observation group, and 40 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations in our hospital were randomly selected as the control group. The observation group was divided into A, B, and C grades based on the severity of the condition, according to the Child-Pugh grading of liver function. The differences in clinical data, peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulation indicators, and ascites lymphocyte subpopulation indicators (CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD20 + ) under different disease grades were analyzed, and the differences in peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulation indicators between the two groups of people were compared. Resultsl:The levels of CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD4 + /CD8 + , and CD20 + in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Compared with Child-Pugh A grade patients, the expression of CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD4 + /CD8 + , and CD20 + in peripheral blood of Child-Pugh B and C grade patients decreased significantly (all P<0.05); Compared with Child-Pugh B grade patients, the expression of CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD4 + /CD8 + , and CD20 + in peripheral blood of Child-Pugh C grade patients decreased significantly (all P<0.05). Compared with Child-Pugh A grade patients, the expression of CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD4 + /CD8 + , and CD20 + in ascites of Child-Pugh B and C grade patients decreased significantly (all P<0.05); Compared with Child-Pugh B grade patients, the expression of CD3 + , CD4 + , CD8 + , CD4 + /CD8 + , and CD20 + in ascites of Child-Pugh C grade patients decreased significantly (all P<0.05). The peripheral blood and ascites lymphocyte subsets were negatively correlated with the Child-Pugh grading of decompensated liver cirrhosis in alcoholic liver disease (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis caused by alcoholic liver disease are accompanied by varying degrees of immune dysfunction. Detection of lymphocyte subsets in the patient′s peripheral blood and ascites has significant clinical significance for the diagnosis and prognosis of this disease.
Glioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor. Imaging examination has important clinical significance for the diagnosis of glioma, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET). Imageomics is a new technology combining artificial intelligence and medical imaging big data. It efficiently mines and integrates a large number of advanced imaging features from massive data, and establishes predictive models. For the clinical application of imageomics, this article expounds the application of imageomics in glioma diagnosis from four aspects: glioma grading, prediction of gene expression, differential diagnosis, and prognostic evaluation.
Objective:To explore the effect of diclofenac sodium suppository combined with tramadol sustained-release tablets on postoperative pain relief and recovery in patients with mixed hemorrhoids.Methods:Sixty patients with mixed hemorrhoids who underwent external dissection and internal ligation at the Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Proctology Hospital from September to October 2023 were selected and randomly divided into A group and AS group using a random number table method, with 30 patients in each group. The group A patients received oral tramadol sustained-release tablets 4 hours after surgery, while the group AS received diclofenac sodium suppositories for anal canal therapy in addition to the group A. Two groups were compared for postoperative pain [Visual Analog Scale (VAS)] and patient comfort [Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)], cumulative tramadol consumption, supplementary rescue pethidine needs, and adverse reactions at 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours.Resultsl:The VAS of the AS group were lower than those of the A group at 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours after surgery. The NRS scores of the group A patients at 4, 8, and 24 hours were significantly better than those of the group AS. The cumulative consumption of tramadol in the AS group at 4, 8, 24, and 48 hours after surgery was significantly lower than that in the A group; The demand rate for postoperative rescue of pethidine in the group A was significantly higher than that in the group AS. The incidence of nausea in the group A was significantly higher than that in the group AS.Conclusions:The combination of postoperative diclofenac sodium suppositories and oral tramadol sustained-release tablets for mixed hemorrhoid surgery has a significant improvement effect on pain. It can reduce the dosage of tramadol, reduce the need for rescue and supplementary analgesia, and have fewer adverse reactions.
