    Abstract Although the emergence of immunotherapy has broken the deadlock of extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), the study of markers for predicting efficacy is the key to the breakthrough of immunotherapy, and exploring more innovative, efficient and safe treatment models is also an important research direction of ES-SCLC. As an important part of inherent immunity, natural killer (NK) cells have become a hot spot because activated NK cells can directly kill tumor cells and may also influence tumor microenvironment immunomodulation. To date, emerging experimental research on NK cells in tumor therapy and immunoregulation has been published, but specific reviews of its role in ES-SCLC are limited. Hence, in this review, we briefly summarize the current status of immunotherapy and the exploration of biomarker in ES-SCLCs, with focus on the potential value of efficacy prediction and treatment of NK cells, and finally discuss the limitations and development prospects of NK cells in ES-SCLC immunotherapy research.

    Abstract Introduction: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The transcription factor PU.1 is essential for the maintenance of stem/progenitor cell homeostasis. However, the role of PU.1 in COPD and its effects on EPC function and lung-homing, remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the protective activity of PU.1 and the underlying mechanisms in a cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced emphysema mouse model.
    Methods: C57BL/6 mice were treated with CSE to establish a murine emphysema model and injected with overexpressed PU.1 or negative control adeno-associated virus. Morphometry of lung slides, lung function, and apoptosis of lung tissues were evaluated. Immunofluorescence co-localization was used to analyze EPCs homing into the lung. Flow cytometry was performed to detect EPC count in lung tissues and bone marrow (BM). The angiogenic ability of BM-derived EPCs cultured
    Results: CSE exposure significantly reduced the expression of PU.1 in mouse lung tissues, BM, and BM-derived EPCs. PU.1 overexpression attenuated CSE-induced emphysematous changes, lung function decline, and apoptosis. In emphysematous mice, PU.1 overexpression markedly reversed the decreased proportion of EPCs in BM and promoted the lung-homing of EPCs. The impaired angiogenic ability of BM-derived EPCs induced by CSE could be restored by the overexpression of PU.1. In addition, PU.1 upregulation evidently reversed the decreased expression of β-catenin, CXCL12, CXCR4, Scal-1, and stemness genes in mouse lung tissues, BM, and BM-derived EPCs after CSE exposure.
    Conclusions: PU.1 alleviates the inhibitory effects of CSE on EPC function and lung-homing via activating the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway and CXCL12/CXCR4 axis. While further research is needed, our research may indicate a potential therapeutic target for COPD patients.

    Abstract Bilirubin, a key active ingredient of bezoars with extensive clinical applications in China, is produced through a chemical process. However, this method suffers from inefficiency and adverse environmental impacts. To address this challenge, we present a novel and efficient approach for bilirubin production via whole-cell transformation. In this study, we employed Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 to express a β-glucuronidase (StGUS), an enzyme from Staphylococcus sp. RLH1 that effectively hydrolyzes conjugated bilirubin to bilirubin. Following the optimization of the biotransformation conditions, a remarkable conversion rate of 79.7% in the generation of bilirubin was obtained at temperate 40 °C, pH 7.0, 1 mM Mg

    Abstract Purpose: Although immunotherapy improves outcomes in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), the search for biomarkers predicting treatment success is crucial. Natural killer (NK) cells are potential indicators in various cancers, however, their precise role in ES-SCLC prognosis remains unclear.
    Methods: In this retrospective study, 33 patients with ES-SCLC treated with first-line immuno-chemotherapy were enrolled. The peripheral NK cell percentage and its longitudinal dynamics were analyzed using flow cytometry. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated as hazard ratio (HR) and compared statistically.
    Results: The median PFS was better in the group with normal baseline NK cell levels than the low group (7.0 vs. 4.6 months; HR = 0.17; 95% CI 0.07-0.41; P < 0.0001), but there was no association with OS (14.9 vs. 10.3 months; HR = 0.55; 95% CI 0.23-1.31; P = 0.171). Furthermore, the NK cell% for 95.0% of patients increased after immunochemotherapy in the clinical response group (P = 0.0047), which led to a better median PFS (6.3 vs. 2.1 months; HR = 0.23; 95% CI 0.05-0.98; P < 0.0001) and OS (14.9 vs. 5.9 months; HR = 0.20; 95% CI 0.04-1.02; P < 0.0001). Similar trends were observed with NK cell% changes up to disease progression, improving PFS (6.5 vs. 4.3; HR = 0.41; 95% CI 0.12-0.92; P = 0.0049) and OS (17.4 vs. 9.7; HR = 0.42; 95% CI 0.17-1.02; P < 0.0001).
    Conclusion: In patients with ES-SCLC, the percentage and changes in peripheral NK cells can predict the response to combined immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

    Abstract Background: The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2017 proposed a new classification that reclassified many chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients from group D to B. However, there is a paucity of data related to the comparison between reclassified and non-reclassified COPD patients in terms of long-term prognosis. This study aimed to investigate long-term outcomes of them and determine whether the GOLD 2017 revision improved the assessment of COPD patients.
    Methods: This observational, multicenter, prospective study recruited outpatients at 12 tertiary hospitals in China from November 2016 to February 2018 and followed them up until February 2022. All enrolled patients were classified into groups A to D based on GOLD 2017, and the subjects in group B included patients reclassified from group D to B (group DB) and those remaining in group B (group BB). Incidence rates and hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated for the exacerbation of COPD and hospitalization in each group.
    Results: We included and followed up 845 patients. During the first year of follow-up, the GOLD 2017 classification had a better discrimination ability for different risks of COPD exacerbation and hospitalization than GOLD 2013. Group DB was associated with a higher risk of moderate-to-severe exacerbation (HR = 1.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.37-2.59, P  <0.001) and hospitalization for COPD exacerbation (HR = 2.23, 95% CI = 1.29-3.85, P  = 0.004) than group BB. However, during the last year of follow-up, the differences in the risks of frequent exacerbations and hospitalizations between group DB and BB were not statistically significant (frequent exacerbations: HR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.51-2.03, P  = 0.955; frequent hospitalizations: HR = 1.66, 95% CI = 0.58-4.78, P  = 0.348). The mortality rates of the two groups were both approximately 9.0% during the entire follow-up period.
    Conclusions: The long-term prognosis of patients reclassified into group B and of those remaining in group B was similar, although patients reclassified from group D to group B had worse short-term outcomes. The GOLD 2017 revision could improve the assessment of Chinese COPD patients in terms of long-term prognosis.

    Abstract Background: Regulatory T cells (Tregs), are a key class of cell types in the immune system. In the tumor microenvironment (TME), the presence of Tregs has important implications for immune response and tumor development. Relatively little is known about the role of Tregs in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
    Methods: Tregs were identified using but single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis and interactions between Tregs and other cells in the TME were investigated. Next, we used multiple bulk RNA-seq datasets to construct risk models based on marker genes of Tregs and explored differences in prognosis, mutational landscape, immune cell infiltration and immunotherapy between high- and low-risk groups, and finally, qRT-PCR and cell function experiments were performed to validate the model genes.
    Results: The cellchat analysis showed that MIF-(CD74+CXCR4) pairs play a key role in the interaction of Tregs with other cell subpopulations, and the Tregs-associated signatures (TRAS) could well classify multiple LUAD cohorts into high- and low-risk groups. Immunotherapy may offer greater potential benefits to the low-risk group, as indicated by their superior survival, increased infiltration of immune cells, and heightened expression of immune checkpoints. Finally, the experiment verified that the model genes LTB and PTTG1 were relatively highly expressed in cancer tissues, while PTPRC was relatively highly expressed in paracancerous tissues. Colony Formation assay confirmed that knockdown of PTTG1 reduced the proliferation ability of LUAD cells.
    Conclusion: TRAS were constructed using scRNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq to distinguish patient risk subgroups, which may provide assistance in the clinical management of LUAD patients.

    Abstract Background: Noise exposure could lead to hearing loss and disorders of various organs. Recent studies have reported the close relations of environmental noise exposure to the metabolomics dysregulations and gut microbiota disturbance in the exposers. However, the associations between gut microbial homeostasis and the body metabolism during noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) were unclear. To get a full understanding of their synergy in noise-associated diseases, it is essential to uncover their impacts and associations under exposure conditions.
    Methods: With ten male rats with background noise exposure (≤ 40 dB) as controls (Ctr group), 20 age- and weight-matched male rats were exposed to 95 dB Sound pressure level (SPL) (LN group,
    Results: NIHL rat models were constructed. Many biochemical parameters were altered by noise exposure. The gut microbiota constitution and serum metabolic profiles of the noise-exposed rats were also dysregulated. Through metabolomics analysis, 34 and 36 differential metabolites as well as their associated pathways were identified in LN and HN groups, respectively. Comparing with the control rats, six and 14 florae were shown to be significantly dysregulated in the LN group and HN group, respectively. Further association analysis showed significant correlations between differential metabolites and differential microbiota.
    Conclusion: There were cochlea injuries and abnormalities of biochemical parameters in the rats with NIHL. Noise exposure could also disrupt the metabolic profiles and the homeostatic balance of gut microbes of the host as well as their correlations. The dysregulated metabolites and microbiota might provide new clues for prevention of noise-related disorders.
