    Objective To investigate the preventive effect of a composite nutrient supplement on acute lung oxidative stress and inflammatory injury induced by PM2.5 exposure in rats. Methods Forty SD rats were randomized into 4 groups: control group, PM2.5 model group, low-dose supplement (150 mg/kg) + PM2.5 group, and high-dose supplement (750 mg/kg) + PM2.5 group. Rats in nutrient supplement groups were administrated continuous by supplement solution gavage for 14 days, while rats in control and model groups were given with saline gavage. On the 15th day, rats in all groups except control group were exposed to PM2.5 (9.0 mg/kg) suspension by tracheal drip, once every 24 hours, for 3 times in total. Rats in control group was treated with saline as the same procedure. Twenty-four hours after the last exposure, blood samples, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, lung tissue homogenate and pathological sections of rats were collected. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) in serum,the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and acid phosphatase (ACP) in alveolar lavage fluid and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β) in lung homogenates were measured. Results Compared with the control group, the levels of MDA, ACP, LDH, TNF-α, IL-1β in PM2.5 model group were significantly higher and SOD activity was lower (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the PM2.5 model group, the levels of MDA, TNF-α and IL-1β in nutrient supplement + PM2.5 groups were significantly lower, and SOD activity was higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the PM2.5 model group, the levels of ACP and LDH in high-dose supplement + PM2.5 group were significantly lower (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the pathological injury of lung tissues were significantly less severe. Conclusion The composite nutrient supplement exerts protective effect on acute lung oxidative stress and inflammatory injury induced by PM2.5 exposure in rats.

    Objective To investigate the mutation of EGFR gene in patients with lung adenocarcinoma and its correlation with clinical, imaging, and pathological features. Methods A total of 370 patients with lung adenocarcinoma who were diagnosed and treated in a cancer hospital in Hainan Province from August 2017 to July 2021 were selected as the research subjects. According to the results of EGFR gene detection, they were divided into wild-type group and mutation group. The data of sex, age, stage, type of adenocarcinoma, IASLC grade, histological subtype, and CT inmaging characteristics of the two groups were analyzed by univariate and multivariate regression analysis. Results After EGFR gene detection, there were 172 patients with EGRF gene mutation and 198 patients with EGFR wild type, the gene mutation rate was 46.49%; 75 patients had EGFR gene exon 19 mutation, accounting for 43.60% of the mutation group; 97 patients had EGFR gene exon 21 mutation, accounting for 59.40% of the mutation group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female, smoking history, burr sign, air bronchus sign, and papillary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma were risk factors for EGFR mutation (all P<0.05); Minimally invasive adenocarcinoma was a protective factor for EGFR mutation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in clinical data, imaging, and pathological features between patients with EGFR gene exon 19 and exon 21 mutations (all P>0.05). Conclusion EGFR gene mutation in patients with lung adenocarcinoma has related imaging and pathological features, which has reference value for formulating personalized treatment plan for patients.

    Objective To understand the current situation and correlation between health literacy and current smoking behavior among residents in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, and provide a reference for health promotion interventions and tobacco control. Methods Using the multi-stage stratified random sampling method, the health literacy of permanent residents aged 15-69 years in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, was monitored from July to September 2020, and the socio-demographic characteristics, health literacy, and smoking behavior of residents were investigated. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis methods were used to analyze the correlation between health literacy and current smoking behavior. Results Among the 2 553 subjects, the total health literacy level was 31.57%, and the current smoking rate was 20.52%. There were significant differences in current smoking rates among respondents in terms of gender, age group, marital status, educational level, occupation, annual family income, and chronic diseases (all P<0.01). The current smoking rate among those with total health literacy, three aspects, and six types of health literacy problems was lower than those without (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that women (all OR<1,95%CI<1), college/bachelor's degree or above (all OR<1,95%CI<1), students (all OR<1,95%CI<1), those with total health literacy (OR=0.713,95% CI:0.542~0.937), and health concept basic knowledge and literacy (OR=0.715,95% CI:0.530~0.964) were less likely to current smoke, and those with other occupation (OR=2.384,95% CI:1.006~5.654) were more likely to current smoke. Conclusion Smoking behavior is associated with the level of health literacy among residents. To reduce the smoking rate, we need to carry out in-depth health education on the harm of smoking and improve the level of health literacy.

    Objective To carry out colorectal cancer screening for permanent residents aged ≥ 45 years in Dongying District, and to explore the compliance of colonoscopy and its influencing factors for those with positive screening results, to provide a scientific basis for improving the colorectal cancer screening of residents. Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select community health service centers in 2 towns and 3 sub-districts within the jurisdiction as volunteer recruitment sites for colorectal cancer screening. Residents aged ≥ 45 years were recruited to conduct colorectal cancer screening and questionnaire surveys. Those who screened positive were further examined by colonoscopy. The results of colorectal screening and colonoscopy compliance of residents were analyzed by descriptive analysis method, and the influencing factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis methods. Results A total of 1 201 people were included in this study for analysis, including 662 males and 539 females, 372 people aged 45-59 years, 495 people aged 60-69 years, and 334 people aged 70-79 years. A total of 371 cases were positive in the primary screening, including 154 cases of risk factors positive, 298 cases of FOBT positive, and 81 cases of both risk factors and FOBT positive, with a positive rate of 30.89%. Male (OR=3.177), history of mucus and bloody stool (OR=7.683), and history of intestinal polyps (OR=5.008) were risk factors for positive screening of colorectal cancer. Among the 371 cases with positive screening results, 121 cases completed colonoscopy, and the compliance rate of colonoscopy was 32.61%. Gender (OR=2.776), age (OR=0.511, 0.433), marital status (OR=4.267), educational level (OR=2.782, 3.916), and medical insurance (OR=2.743) were influencing factors of colonoscopy compliance in colorectal cancer screening positive patients. Conclusion The positive rate of primary screening for colorectal cancer in the Dongying District of Dongying City is high, so it is necessary to strengthen the screening of colorectal cancer for male individuals with a history of mucus and bloody stool and intestinal polyps. But the compliance to colonoscopy examination of residents is low, especially for female individuals aged 60 and above, who are not married, have a low education level, and have no medical insurance, which should specifically strengthen the health education of this group and improve their colonoscopy compliance.

    Objective To explore the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among smokers aged ≥40 years in Qingdao City, and analyze the related factors of COPD. Methods From August to December 2021, the multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select smokers aged ≥ 40 years in households with smoking habits as the survey subjects to carry out the questionnaire, physical examination, and pulmonary function test. The prevalence of COPD among smokers was analyzed, and the influencing factors of COPD were studied. Results A total of 1 516 smokers were enrolled, 81.06% of whom were male, 70.25% of whom had ≥ 21 pack-years of cigarette smoking, and 71.17% of whom had smoked for more than 30 years. COPD occurred in 297 cases (19.59%). Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that males (OR=3.706), aged 50-59 years (OR=1.567), aged 60-69 years (OR=2.585), aged ≥70 years (OR=4.926), urban residents (OR=1.568), body mass index (BMI) <18.5 kg/m2OR=3.848), passive smoking (OR=2.516), 11-20 pack-years of cigarette smoking (OR=1.903), 21-30 pack-years of cigarette smoking (OR=2.472), ≥31 pack-years of cigarette smoking (OR=3.792), smoked for 31-40 years (OR=2.400), and smoked for ≥ 40 years (OR=4.227) were risk factors for COPD in smokers. Tendency χ2 analysis showed that the incidence of COPD in smokers increased with the increase of pack-years of cigarette smoking and smoking years (both P<0.01). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the severity of COPD was significantly and positively correlated with pack-years of cigarette smoking and smoking years. The severity of COPD would continue to deepen with the increase of pack-years of cigarette smoking and smoking years (both P<0.01). Conclusion The smokers aged ≥40 years in Qingdao are mainly male, and the incidence of COPD is high. Male, old age, urban residents, low BMI, and passive smoking were risk factors for COPD. The higher the number of pack-years of cigarette smoking and smoking years, the higher the risk of COPD.
