This paper aims to review the production, extraction, stability and food application of phycocyanin. Currently, light source modulation and organic solvent cultivation of high biomass phycocyanin is an important research direction. The development of nitrogen oxygen balanced system-assisted culture environments to raise production will become a trend, the green and sustainable characteristics of which compensate for the drawbacks of the former.

The underlying mechanisms include radiation-induced oxidative stress caused by damage to the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in apoptosis of lung and endothelial cells and recruitment of inflammatory cells and myofibroblasts expressing NADPH oxidase to the site of injury, which in turn contribute to oxidative stress and cytokine production. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) is a vital transcription factor that regulates oxidative stress and inhibits inflammation.

Currently, intensive care unit (ICU) patients have a high probability of concomitant coronary artery disease, and the mortality of this category of patients in the ICU is receiving increasing attention. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify whether the composite inflammatory indicators are significantly associated with ICU mortality in ICU patients with CHD and to develop a simple personalized prediction model.

NSCLC patients received anlotinib monotherapy or combination therapy. The primary end point was adverse reactions during anlotinib treatment and the secondary end point was progression-free survival.

ROS1 fusion genes have been identified in various types of tumours. As an oncoprotein, it promotes cell proliferation, activation and cell cycle progression by activating downstream signalling pathways, accelerating the development and progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The availability of these inhibitors has also largely changed the treatment strategy for advanced -positive NSCLC. However, patients still inevitably develop resistance to inhibitors, leading to tumor recurrence or metastasis.
