Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase 4 (NOX4) and epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) in non-small cell lung cancer. Methods Collected from 2015 to 2018 in ningxia medical university general hospital by pathological diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer patients with surgical specimens and paraffin embedding or fiber bronchoscope based tissue samples as lung cancer group (29 cases), select the same lobectomy or lung resection and admission or fiber bronchoscope lung benign lesions of organization as the control group (20 cases), immunohistochemical method is used respectively to detect lung cancer groups and control group in the lung tissue specimens NOX4, E-cadherin (E-Ca) and Vimentin expression.To analyze the relationship between NOX4 expression, tumor staging, distant metastasis and other tumor biological behaviors. Results The EMT-related marker protein Vimentin was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm, and the average optical density of the lung tissue in the lung cancer group and the control group was (26.42±8.40) and (11.66±8.30), respectively.The expression of Vimentin was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=6.078, P<0.001). E-Ca expression was mainly expressed in the cell membrane, and the average optical density of E-Ca expression in the lung cancer group and the control group was (5.15±6.67) and (14.97±7.68), respectively.E-Ca expression was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-4.819, P<0.001). The main expression sites of NOX4 were cytoplasm and nucleus of cells.The average optical density of NOX4 expression in lung tissues of lung cancer group and control group was (29.36±11.60) and (11.27±7.36), respectively.The expression of NOX4 in lung cancer group was significantly higher than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=6.160, P<0.001). NOX4 protein expression in lung cancer group was negatively correlated with E-Ca expression (r=-0.612, P=0.001), and NOX4 expression was positively correlated with Vimentin expression (r=0.593, P=0.001). In the control group, NOX4 protein expression was not correlated with E-Ca expression (r=0.101, P=0.671), and NOX4 protein expression was not correlated with Vimentin expression (r=0.109, P=0.649). Conclusions High expression of NOX4 and EMT-related markers Vimentin and low expression of E-Ca were found in tumor tissues of NSCLC.NOX4 expression was negatively correlated with E-Ca expression, and positively with Vimentin expression.There is obvious EMT in lung cancer tissues, and NOX4 may participate in the EMT process through the oxidation-antioxidant signaling pathway.

Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) can lead to a sharp deterioration of respiratory function, and the most chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-associated death occurs in AECOPD.The prevalence of pulmonary embolism is high in COPD patients, especially in AECOPD patients.Pulmonary embolism and AECOPD have similar clinical symptoms.And it is difficult to distinguish them by symptoms, signs and simple laboratory tests, which leads to the excessive use of computer tomography pulmonary angiography.In recent years, many researchers have found that monocyte, platelet, especially large platelet, are evidently related to intravascular and extravascular inflammatory reaction and thrombogenesis.

Objective To study the effects of salvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine injection, low molecular weight heparin and their combination on pulmonary embolism rats by observing the changes of P-selectin (CD62P) and tissue factor (TF) in the blood of rats of pulmonary embolism. Methods 80 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 7 h and 7 d groups.Each group was divided into control group, embolism group, salviae miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine group, low molecular weight heparin group, and combined drug group, each group with eight rats.The rats were separated from the right jugular vein, the control group was injected with saline, and the remaining groups were injected with homemade emboli (n=25±3, d=0.5 mm). Each group collected blood at the 7th hour and the 7th day, TF and CD62P concentrations were detected, and lung tissue was observed. Results After embolization, rats had panting, cyanosis, accelerated heart rate, etc.The surface of lung tissue was rugged, uneven expansion, scattered in gray-white infarction areas.Compared with the control group, the concentrations of TF and CD62P in plasma of the embolism group increased significantly (all P<0.05). Compared with the embolism group, the concentrations of TF and CD62P of the therapy groups decreased to different degrees, and the combined group after therapy for one week was most significant. Conclusions The ideal model of pulmonary embolism can be prepared by jugular vein injection allothrombosis.The levels of TF and CD62P in pulmonary embolism rats could be significantly reduced by the combination of salvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine and low molecular weight heparin.

Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are important immune cells in the lung.Different sources and polarization states make AMs play diverse functions in varying environment.Under physiological conditions, AMs are responsible for keeping lower levels of inflammation and maintaining homeostasis in the lung, promoting optimal gas exchange.They also mediate an immune response to invade microbes during infection and adjust their immune state in the later stage to reduce tissue damage and restore homeostasis, but may drive pathogen persistence.This review discusses the origin, polarization and functions of AMs in pulmonary homeostasis and infection, so as to provide new ideas for therapeutic strategy targeting at AMs. Key words: Macrophages, alveolar; Origin; Polarization; Pulmonary homeostasis; Pulmonary infection
