Background:The prevalence of COPD is increasing annually, accompanied by a growing number of complications and organ function abnormalities. Thyroid dysfunction is prevalent among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Updated evidence is needed to complement previous systematic reviews on this topic to provide best practice. Methods:The EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane and PubMed databases were searched for articles containing the keywords "COPD" and "thyroid dysfunction" (PROSPERO CRD42024592606). Eligibility screening, data extraction and quality assessment of retrieved articles were performed independently by two reviewers. Meta-analyses were performed to determine the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with COPD. Regression analyses were used to explore sources of heterogeneity. The clinical features of COPD combined with thyroid dysfunction were clarified by comparing the age, sex (percentage of males), BMI, smoking index, Forced Vital Capacity (FVC%), Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1%), partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and albumin in patients with and without thyroid dysfunction. The differences in the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction between stable and acute exacerbations in COPD were also compared. Results:Twelve studies were included, with an overall prevalence of 42.1% (95% CI, 31.8-52.9). The most common type of thyroid dysfunction in COPD was non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) in 45.3% (95% CI, 22.3-68.3). There was no difference in the prevalence of dysfunctions between stable and acute exacerbations of COPD. Patients in the thyroid dysfunction group in COPD had lower PCO2 and albumin and higher FEV1%. Conclusion:Thyroid dysfunction has a high prevalence among patients with COPD, with NTIS being the most common. Thyroid dysfunction in COPD may affect lung function and lead to decreased albumin. Patients with COPD should be screened for thyroid function, and attention should be paid to the clinical features of this group of patients with thyroid dysfunction to facilitate better identification and management.

Individual free fatty acids (FAs) play important roles in metabolic homeostasis, many through engagement with more than 40G protein-coupled receptors. Searching for receptors to sense beneficial omega-3 FAs of fish oil enabled the identification of GPR120, which is involved in a spectrum of metabolic diseases. Here, we report six cryo-electron microscopy structures of GPR120 in complex with FA hormones or TUG891 and Gi or Giq trimers. Aromatic residues inside the GPR120 ligand pocket were responsible for recognizing different double-bond positions of these FAs and connect ligand recognition to distinct effector coupling. We also investigated synthetic ligand selectivity and the structural basis of missense single-nucleotide polymorphisms. We reveal how GPR120 differentiates rigid double bonds and flexible single bonds. The knowledge gleaned here may facilitate rational drug design targeting to GPR120.
目的 了解妇科恶性肿瘤患者经济毒性的现况,探究妇科恶性肿瘤患者经济毒性的影响因素.方法 以便利抽样方法,选取2020年6月~12月在广西壮族自治区某三级甲等肿瘤专科医院行住院治疗的199例妇科恶性肿瘤患者为研究对象,采用一般资料调查问卷、患者报告结局的经济毒性综合评分量表(COST-PROM)进行横断面调查,采用Kruskal-Wallis H秩和检验与Mann-Whitney U秩和检验,多元线性回归分析与妇科恶性肿瘤患者经济毒性相关的影响因素.结果 妇科恶性肿瘤患者经济毒性得分为12.00(6.00,20.00).婚姻状况、家庭月总收入、医疗付费方式、肿瘤分期、手术、放疗以及化疗的妇科恶性肿瘤患者经济毒性总分差异均具有统计学意义(均P<0.05).多元线性回归分析结果显示,肿瘤分期、医疗付费方式、手术情况以及家庭月总收入是妇科恶性肿瘤患者经济毒性的独立影响因素(P<0.05),共解释总变异的33.1%.结论 本横断面调查显示妇科恶性肿瘤患者经济毒性严重,提示临床医务工作者应根据妇科恶性肿瘤患者经济毒性的特点,通过与患者进行成本讨论、进行个性化的心理护理以及围手术期综合管理等方式进行干预,提高妇科恶性肿瘤患者的应对能力,确保抗癌治疗的有序进行.
为探究细胞膜中不同脂质成分对γ-Fe2 O3纳米颗粒物(nanoparticles,NPs)与膜相互作用的影响,参考真实细胞膜的脂质类型合成13种脂质成分不同的模型细胞膜,并测定γ-Fe2 O3 NPs诱导的模型细胞膜完整性及膜流动性变化.结果表明,γ-Fe2 O3 NPs能够吸附在膜上(甚至造成膜破碎)并诱导膜流动的增加.NPs与不同的模型细胞膜相互作用的强度不同,特别是鞘磷脂和胆固醇在膜中的共存(模拟脂筏的存在)会减弱NPs与膜的相互作用,而膜中正电位点的存在增强了NPs与膜的相互作用.脂质成分的不同会造成模型细胞膜表面电荷、活性基团和脂质分子堆积强度等膜性质的差异,进而影响NPs与膜相互作用的强度.本研究为探索γ-Fe2 O3 NPs与细胞膜的相互作用提供了新的思路.
恶性肿瘤伤口(maligant fungating wounds,MFWS )是由原发性或转移性恶性肿瘤浸润皮肤所形成的开放性的恶性皮肤伤口,多表现为皮肤表面溃疡性伤口、皮肤结节或从皮肤表面扩散生长出的蕈状结节,常常累及周围组织、血管及淋巴管[1 ].研究报道[2],恶性肿瘤伤口的发生率为 5%~14.5%,其中66%好发于乳腺癌病人.鉴于肿瘤疾病本身的特点,病人伤口往往迁延不愈且常伴随着大量渗液、恶臭、瘙痒、出血、疼痛等不良症状,严重影响了病人的生活质量.因此,恶性肿瘤伤口的症状管理是临床伤口护理的重点[3 ].利用循证的观念和方法有助于护理人员用科学的方法寻求信息、分析信息、利用信息、从而解决临床实践中的实际问题[4-5].目前,恶性肿瘤伤口尚未形成系统规范的护理标准.2020年6月对本院收治的1例乳腺癌伴有恶性肿瘤伤口病人,通过循证护理方法使其伤口逐渐愈合,现报道如下.

The various applications of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) in clinical care and wastewater treatment are rapidly developing, thus their biological safety is worth attention. The electrostatic interaction between cell membranes and NPs is the key mechanism behind membrane damage and membrane penetration. Cell membranes are generally negatively charged with a few positively charged domains. The role of the positively charged sites in the NP-membrane interaction needs further investigation. In this study, the ratio of the positively charged sites was adjusted in two model cell membranes: giant and small unilamellar vesicles (GUVs and SUVs). After exposure to negatively charged γ-Fe2O3 NPs, the adhesion of NPs on the membranes and the induced membrane disruption were studied by microscopic observation and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) monitoring. γ-Fe2O3 NPs adhered to and disrupted the membranes containing even few positively charged sites, although the whole membrane exhibited a negative zeta potential and hence electrostatically repels the NPs. The number of adhered γ-Fe2O3 NPs increased remarkably on membranes with overall positive zeta potential, but more serious disruption happened to membranes with higher ratios of positively charged sites. Therefore, the membrane rupture was more correlated to the number of positively charged sites than to the zeta potential of the whole membrane. In addition, exposure to γ-Fe2O3 NPs decreased the order of the lipid molecules and hence increased the fluidity of the membrane phase, and the most significant phase change occurred in the negatively charged membrane with the highest ratio of positively charged sites. Infrared spectra indicated that γ-Fe2O3 NPs probably interact with the membranes via the phosphodiester and trimethylamine groups in the lipid head groups. Our research furthers our knowledge of the electrostatic interaction between NPs and cell membranes, which should help to predict the biological effects of γ-Fe2O3 NPs.
Aims: To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of administration of a low dosage of cardio-selective β- receptor blocker in treating Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD) complicated with right cardiac failure. Methods: In total, 100 AECOPD patients were randomly assigned into the experimental (n=50) and control groups (n=50). Patients in the control group received standard treatment according to the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD, 2013 edition). Based upon conventional therapy, those in the experimental group received oral administration of metoprolol tartrate tablets. All patients were followed up for 1 year. Results: The Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) did not significantly differ between two groups (both P>0.05). Prior to the treatment, no statistical significance was observed in heart rate between two groups (P>0.05), whereas heart rate in the experimental group was significantly improved (P 0.05). In the experimental group, 3 patients (6.3%) suffered from adverse events, and 4 (8.4%) in the control group (P>0.05). In the experimental group, the frequency of acute exacerbation, mortality rate and NT-proBNP level were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P 0.05). Conclusion: Use of a low-dose cardio-selective β-receptor blocker can effectively alleviate AECOPD complicated with right heart failure, improve heart function and decrease the frequency of acute exacerbation. No severe adverse events are noted after administration of cardio-selective β-receptor blocker.
