Unlabelled: The aim and objectives of the study were to investigate the state of adsorption-rheological properties of blood (ARPB) in patients with different clinical course of lung cancer (LC), the detection of violations of surface-active, viscoelastic and relaxation properties of blood serum, their association with tumor markers, the evaluation of the prognostic value of initial indexes in the development of complications from radiochemotherapy.
Patients And Methods: The study included 115 patients with LC at the age from 24 to 80 years (average age 58 years), among whom there were 78% men and 22% women. The parameters of surface (interfacial) viscosity, elasticity, viscoelasticity module, tension and relaxation of blood serum were studied by the oscillating drop method using a computer tensiometer "PAT2-Sinterface", and its volumetric viscosity was investigated using a Low-Shear-30 rotational viscometer. ARPB parameters were also studied in a control group composed from 50 healthy donors.
Results: Increased levels of volumetrical viscosity, surface tension, surface elasticity and the relaxation time of the blood are typical for patients with LC and depended on the localization of the tumor, its histological variant, differentiation grade, severity of the course of the disease, the number of metastases in the lymph nodes, distant organs and skeleton, involvement of the pleura and ribs, the development of compression pulmonary syndrome, metastasis into the spine, adrenals, brain, and pancreas. The surface-active, viscoelastic and relaxation properties of the blood correlated with the levels of tumor markers (TGFβ1, VEGF, C-reactive protein, α-macroglobulin).
Conclusions: Integral changes of ARPB observed in every fifth patient with LC are involved in the pathogenesis of the disease, have predictive value in relation to the clinical course of disease (volumetric viscosity) and the development of complications from radiochemotherapy (surface viscosity).

This study aimed to investigate the potential protective properties of a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal product, Siraitia grosvenorii granules (SGG) against PM2.5-induced lung injury, as well as their active constituents and underlying mechanisms. The chemical composition of SGG, such as wogonin (MOL000173), luteolin (MOL000006), nobiletin (MOL005828), naringenin (MOL004328), acacetin (MOL001689), were identified via ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-Q Exactive (UHPLC-QE) Orbitrap/MS.

In recent years, despite significant advances in preconcentration and preparation techniques that have led to efficient recovery and accurate measurement of target compounds. There is still a need to develop adsorbents with unique and efficient features such as high pore volume and surface area, reactivity, easy synthesis, low toxicity, and compatibility with the environment, which increase the adsorption capacity and increase extraction efficiency. Semiconductor nanocrystals called quantum dots (QDs) with a size of less than 10 nm are three-dimensional nanoparticles with a spherical, rod, or disc structure that have significant potential in extraction as adsorbents due to their excellent properties such as low toxicity, reactivity, environmental friendliness, and hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions.

Uncontrollable haemorrhage and associated microbial contamination in the battlefield and civilian injuries pose a tremendous threat to healthcare professionals. Such traumatic wounds often necessitate an effective point-of-care solution to prevent the consequent morbidity owing to blood loss or haemorrhage. However, developing superior hemostatic materials with anti-infective properties remains a challenge.
