    Abstract Background: People are constantly exposed to phthalates, but few reliable studies have focused on the connection between phthalate exposure and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).
    Methods: Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2011-2012). The LTBI was assessed by QuantiFERON®-TB Gold-In-Tube (QFT) or tuberculin skin testing (TST). The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) per log10 unit change in the concentration of phthalate metabolites were calculated using crude and adjusted logistic regression models. The relationships between mixed phthalate concentrations and LTBI were assessed using Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models.
    Results: According to the results of the multivariable logistic regression, in a fully adjusted model, only monobenzyl phthalate (MBZP) was negatively associated with LTBI in Q3 (OR (95% CI): 0.485 (0.286,0.823),
    Conclusions: Our analysis demonstrated that LTBI in the general U.S. population is linearly linked with exposure to single or combined phthalates.

    Abstract Objectives: Innate and adaptive immunity play different roles in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, previous studies on the relationship between immune cells and COPD reported inconsistent results.
    Methods: The causal connection between 731 immune cells and COPD was established using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis through publicly accessible genetic data. The heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropism of the findings were confirmed using sensitivity analysis.
    Results: In the B-cell panel, B-cell activating factor receptor (BAFF-R) on CD20
    Conclusion: This study found a potential causal relationship between immune cells in COPD, ruling out reverse causation. This study provides new avenues for studying the mechanisms of COPD.

    Abstract Background: Observational studies showed a bidirectional association between depression and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it is unclear whether the observed association is causal. Thus we estimated the relationship using observational studies combined with bidirectional Mendelian randomization [MR].
    Materials and methods: The study included 9977 participants from the 2013-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and used weighted logistic regression analysis to assess the association between depression and COPD, followed by a bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis to verify their causality.
    Results: Adjusted-weighted logistic regression in observational studies showed a significant association between COPD and mild depression (OR (95% CI): 1.81 (1.30, 2.52),
    Conclusion: In conclusion, our study found depression may play a potential causal role in the morbidity of COPD suggesting depression might be the etiology of COPD. This finding needs to be validated in further prospective cohort studies with large sample sizes and adequate follow-up time.

    Abstract Background: To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
    Methods: Seven databases (4 English and 3 Chinese databases) were searched, the quality was evaluated by QUADAS-2 and GRADE profile. The bivariate model was employed to combine area under the curve (AUC), pooled sensitivity (pSEN) and pooled specificity (pSPE), the Fagan's nomogram was employed for evaluating clinical utility. This study was registered in PROSPERO (NO.CRD42022371488).
    Results: 18 eligible studies comprising 27 datasets (12 diagnostic and 15 prognostic datasets) were included for meta-analysis. For diagnostic analysis, Ang-2 yielded an AUC of 0.82, with a pSEN of 0.78 and a pSPE of 0.74; in clinical utility analysis, a pretest probability of 50% regulated the post probability positive (PPP) of 75% and the post probability negative (PPN) of 23%. In prognostic analysis, Ang-2 yielded an AUC of 0.83, with a pSEN of 0.69, a pSPE of 0.81, and good clinical utility (a pretest probability of 50% regulated the PPP of 79% and the PPN of 28%). Heterogeneity existed in both diagnostic and prognostic analysis.
    Conclusions: Ang-2 demonstrates promising diagnostic and prognostic capabilities as a noninvasive circulating biomarker for ARDS, especially in the Chinese population. It is advisable to dynamically monitor Ang-2 in critically ill patients both suspected and with confirmed ARDS.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the potential of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for patients with sepsis.
    Methods: Literature was obtained from seven databases. Relevant data were examined by combining sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic orders ratio (DOR), and the area under the curve (AUC) of the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) using a bivariate model.
    Results: Seventeen works of literature were included for meta-analysis. The meta-analysis determined that combined SEN was 0.76 (95% C.I.: 0.69-0.82), combined SPE was 0.84 (95% C.I.: 0.79-0.88), combined PLR was 4.81 (95% C.I.: 3.70-6.25), combined NLR was 0.28 (95% C.I.: 0.22-0.36), combined DOR was 17.02 (95% C.I.: 11.96-24.22), and AUC was 0.88 (95% C.I.: 0.84-0.90), however, for prognostic meta-analysis, combined SEN was 0.82 (95% C.I.: 0.73-0.86), combined SPE was 0.69 (95% C.I.: 0.54-0.81), combined PLR was 2.69 (95% C.I.: 1.82-3.97), combined NLR was 0.25 (95% C.I.: 0.10-0.35), combined DOR was 10.63 (95% C.I.: 7.13-15.87), and AUC was 0.84 (95% C.I.: 0.81-0.87).
    Conclusion: LncRNA possesses a significant diagnostic and prognostic ability for sepsis.

    Abstract Objective: To date, some studies revealed that HHIP gene polymorphisms may be associated with the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Therefore, this meta-analysis explored the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the human hedgehog interacting protein (HHIP) gene and susceptibility to COPD.
    Methods: Seven Chinese and English electronic databases were searched for eligible studies up to 30 May 2020. After the inclusion criteria were strictly followed, the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. The pooled odds ratio (OR) of the 95% confidence interval (CI) under four different genetic models was calculated to evaluate the association strength between the SNPs and COPD. Egger's test was used to evaluate publication bias.
    Results: This meta-analysis was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42021235708). In total, 12 studies involving 6623 COPD patients and 11,373 healthy controls were included. Regarding rs13118928 and rs1828591, an A > G mutation increased the risk of COPD in Asian and Caucasian individuals, and the rs13147758 A > G mutation and rs10519717 C > T mutation increased the risk of COPD only in Asian people. No significant publication bias was observed.
    Conclusion: This meta-analysis provides a theoretical basis suggesting that HHIP gene polymorphisms may be associated with the risk of COPD.

    Abstract Purpose: WNT/β-catenin signal pathway is a potential hope for lung tissue repair. We investigated the levels of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1), an endogenous inhibitor of WNT/β-catenin signal pathway, in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and airway inflammation.
    Patients and methods: Collected the demographic and clinical characteristics of 36 healthy controls, 25 stable COPD patients and 10 acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) patients, then performed pulmonary function and detected serum DKK1 levels. After over-expression of DKK1, detect the levels of DDK1, lipoprotein-related protein 6 (LRP6) and inflammatory factors in bronchial epithelial cells stimulated with cigarette smoke extract (CSE).
    Results: Serum DKK1 were reduced in stable COPD patients compared to healthy controls (3866.72 ± 775.33 pg/mL vs 5317.61 ± 1317.20 pg/mL, p<0.0001), but there was no significant difference between stable and acutely exacerbated patients (3866.72 ± 775.33 pg/mL vs 3482.10 ± 841.25 pg/mL, p>0.05). DKK1 was positively correlated with FEV1 (r = 0.570, p<0.0001), FEV1/FVC (rho = 0.590, p<0.0001), FEV1/Pre (r = 0.517, p<0.0001). Multiple linear regression analysis also suggested that FEV1 levels were higher with increasing DKK1. In vitro, elevated IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and decreased DKK1, LRP6 were found in Beas-2B cells after CSE treatments, and increased LRP6 and decreased inflammatory factors were found after overexpression of DKK1. Andrographolide restored the CSE-induced decrease in DKK1 and increase in IL-6 and IL-8.
    Conclusion: DKK1 levels were decreased in COPD patients and positively correlated with lung function, overexpression of DKK1 and andrographolide attenuated airway cell inflammation, both suggesting a potential role in pathophysiology and providing a disease-specific biomarker pattern.

    Abstract Background: Early diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is of great significance. Current prediction models are not simple enough to be widely used in heavy clinical work.
    Objectives: We aimed to develop a simple and efficient clinical prediction scoring system to distinguish MPE from benign pleural effusion (BPE).
    Design: This retrospective study involved patients with MPE or BPE who were admitted in West China Hospital from December 2010 to September 2016.
    Methods: Patients were divided into training, testing, and validation set. Prediction model was developed from training set and modified to a scoring system. The diagnostic efficacy and clinical benefits of the scoring system were estimated in all three sets.
    Results: Finally, 598 cases of MPE and 1094 cases of BPE were included. Serum neuron-specific enolase, serum cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1), pleural carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and ratio of pleural CEA to serum CEA were selected to establish the prediction models in training set, which were modified to the scoring system with scores of 6, 8, 10, and 9 points, respectively. Patients with scores >12 points have high MPE risk while ⩽12 points have low MPE risk. The scoring system has a high predictive value and good clinical benefits to differentiate MPE from BPE or lung-specific MPE from BPE.
    Conclusion: This study developed a simple clinical prediction scoring system and was proven to have good clinical benefits, and it may help clinicians to separate MPE from BPE.
