In December, the flying geese returning north are full of spring and summer scenes.

In December, all things sleeping on the earth wait quietly for the arrival of spring dawn.

We have compiled the high scoring literature on the Gene Beauty brand test kit in November and summarized it as follows.

The first article: There is a positive correlation between serum cadmium and inflammatory cytokines in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Article Title：Serum cadmium positively correlates with inflammatory cytokines in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Journal Publication：Environmental Toxicology

impact factor（IF）：4.119

Affiliation：The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University

DOI:10.1002/tox.23386

This study detected the concentrations of cadmium and inflammatory factors in the serum of 940 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and for the first time evaluated the correlation between serum cadmium, inflammatory factors, and lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The results showed that the serum cadmium concentration in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was positively correlated with inflammatory factors and negatively correlated with lung function. It is known that inflammatory factors may be important mediators of cadmium induced decline in lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The relationship between serum resistin levels, severity, and prognosis in patients with community-acquired pneumonia

Article Title：Associations of Serum Resistin With the Severity and Prognosis in Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia

Journal Publication：Frontiers in Immunology

impact factor（IF）：7.561

Affiliation：The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University

DOI:10.3389/fimmu.2021.703515

Article Topic: This study selected 212 patients with community-acquired pneumonia and 106 healthy individuals as research subjects. Serum resistin levels were measured at admission and patient prognosis was tracked to explore the relationship between serum resistin levels and the severity and prognosis of community-acquired pneumonia patients. The results showed that the serum resistin level of community-acquired pneumonia patients upon admission was positively correlated with the severity of the condition and length of hospital stay, suggesting that resistin may be involved in the physiological process of community-acquired pneumonia. Serum resistin may be a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of community-acquired pneumonia.

Article 3- Serum of Community Acquired Pneumonia PatientsS100A12Correlation with severity and prognosis：A prospective cohort study

Article Title：Associations of Serum S100A12 With Severity and Prognosis in Patients With Community-Acquired Pneumonia: A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal Publication：Frontiers in Immunology

impact factor（IF）：7.561

Affiliation：The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University

DOI:10.3389/fimmu.2021.714026

Article Topic：This study focused on 239 patients with community-acquired pneumonia and 239 healthy individuals. At admission, serum levels of calcium binding protein S100A12 were measured and clinical indicators were recorded to evaluate the relationship between serum S100A12 levels and the severity and prognosis of community-acquired pneumonia patients. The results showed that the level of S100A12 in serum was elevated upon admission and positively correlated with the severity and poor prognosis of community-acquired pneumonia patients, suggesting that S100A12 may be involved in the pathophysiological process of community-acquired pneumonia. The concentration of S100A12 in serum can serve as a biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of community-acquired pneumonia patients.
