To investigate the effect of Xuebijing injection (XBJ) on cGAS/STING pathway in alleviating sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI), the mouse sepsis-induced ALI model was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and the cell inflammation model was constructed by LPS stimulating RAW264.7 cells. The effects of XBJ on lung tissue injury and cGAS/STING pathway-related protein expression in septic mice were investigated by HE staining, ELISA, and Western blot. The results showed that XBJ intervention could alleviate lung tissue injury, reduce serum IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-β, IL-1-β levels, and the expression of cGAS, STING, p-TBK1, and p-IRF3 proteins in lung tissue in vivo, and reduce the mRNA level of related inflammatory factors in RAW264.7 cells and the expression of cGAS/STING pathway proteins in vitro. The results showed that XBJ could play a role in the prevention and treatment of sepsis-induced ALI by inhibiting the inflammatory response via inhibition of the activation of cGAS/STING pathway. This study provides a new molecular mechanism for the clinical prevention and treatment of sepsis-induced acute lung injury with XBJ.

OBJECTIVE To construct the drug utilization evaluation criteria for Dezocine injection， so as to provide reference for the rational drug use in medical institutions. METHODS On the basis of evidence methodology， relevant guidelines/expert consensus， systematic reviews/meta-analysis were consulted； the evaluation criteria framework for Dezocine injection was established after screening evidence. Delphi method was employed， whereby 28 clinicians and clinical pharmacists from secondary and above-level medical institutions across eight provinces， including Tianjin， Beijing and Shandong， were selected to participate in two rounds of questionnaire surveys. The final indicators were determined based on the experts’ enthusiasm coefficient， authority coefficient， and degree of coordination. RESULTS The effective recovery rate of questionnaire was 100% in the first round and 92.86% in the second round； expert authority coefficient was 0.82 in the first round and 0.81 in the second round； the coordination degree of experts in the first round was 0.29， and in the second round was 0.31 （P＜0.001）. Drug utilization evaluation standard system for Dezocine injection was formed finally， including three dimensions of medication indications， medication process and medication results， with a total of 11 first-level indicators （such as indications， usage and dosage） and 33 second-level indicators （such as labor analgesia and the management of severe pain following major or moderate surgeries combined with other analgesic drugs）. The average importance scores for each indicator ranged from 4.08 to 5.00 points， with an overall average score of 4.61 points and coefficient of variation ranging from 0 to 0.19. CONCLUSIONS The drug utilization evaluation criteria for Dezocine injection established based on evidence-based methodology and Delphi method is authoritative and scientific， which provides a reference for subsequent evaluation of the rationality of clinical medication.

BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association recently released a new cardiovascular health (CVH) metric, Life's Essential 8 (LE8), for health promotion. However, the association between LE8 scores and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains uncertain. We aimed to explore the association of LE8 scores with new-onset CKD and examine whether socioeconomic deprivation and genetic risk modify this association. METHODS: A total of 286,908 participants from UK Biobank and without prior CKD were included between 2006 and 2010. CVH was categorized using LE8 scores: low (LE8 scores <50), moderate (LE8 scores ≥50 but <80), and high (LE8 scores ≥80). The study outcome was new-onset CKD, ascertained by data linkage with primary care, hospital inpatient, and death data. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to investigate the association between CVH categories and new-onset CKD. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 12.5 years, 8857 (3.1%) participants developed new-onset CKD. Compared to the low CVH group, the moderate (adjusted hazards ratio [HR], 0.50; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.47-0.53) and high CVH (adjusted HR, 0.31; 95% CI: 0.27-0.34) groups had a significantly lower risk of developing new-onset CKD. The population-attributable risk associated with high vs. intermediate or low CVH scores was 40.3%. Participants who were least deprived ( vs.  most deprived; adjusted HR, 0.75; 95% CI: 0.71-0.79) and with low genetic risk of CKD ( vs.  high genetic risk; adjusted HR, 0.89; 95% CI: 0.85-0.94) had a significantly lower risk of developing new-onset CKD. However, socioeconomic deprivation and genetic risks of CKD did not significantly modify the relationship between LE8 scores and new-onset CKD (both P -interaction >0.05). CONCLUSION Achieving a higher LE8 score was associated with a lower risk of developing new-onset CKD, regardless of socioeconomic deprivation and genetic risks of CKD.

OBJECTIVES: Stigma is common among community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia and has a profound negative impact on both psychiatric symptoms and quality of life. This study aims to explore the association between stigma and quality of life in this population and to examine the multiple mediating roles of anxiety and depression symptoms. METHODS: The multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select the community-dwelling patients with schizophrenics in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. The questionnaire included general demographic characteristics, stigma question, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). The SF-12 was used to measure quality of life, including physical health and mental health dimensions. A multiple mediation model was used to analyse the mediating effects of anxiety and depression symptoms together between stigma and quality of life. RESULTS: A total of 1 087 community patients with schizophrenia were included with a mean age of 50.68±12.73 years; 525 (48.30%) were male. Stigma was reported by 543 patients (49.95%). Anxiety symptoms were present in 292 patients (26.86%), and depression symptoms in 407 patients (37.44%). The physical health quality of life score was 72.01 ± 20.99, and the mental health quality of life score was 71.68 ± 19.38. Multiple mediation analysis showed that stigma directly affected quality of life, and also indirectly affected quality of life through anxiety and depression symptoms. Anxiety and depression jointly mediated 42.26% of the total effect of stigma on physical health quality of life and 47.51% on mental health quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Reducing stigma and preventing anxiety and depression symptoms in community-dwelling patients with schizophrenia can effectively improve their quality of life and support reintegration into society.

Objective:To summarize evidence for physical activity management in cancer patients based on the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) approach for evidence synthesis in health care, providing a scientific basis for the clinical standardization of physical activity management in cancer patients.Methods:Literature was searched according to the "6S" pyramid model of evidence, using BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, JBI Evidence-Based Practice Database, Cochrane Library, global guideline websites, professional cancer association websites, and relevant Chinese and English databases for all evidence regarding physical activity in cancer patients. The search covered the period from February 13, 2018, to February 13, 2023. Guided by the JBI approach for evidence synthesis, two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature and extracted relevant evidence in accordance with clinical scenarios.Results:Thirty articles were included, comprising two guidelines, three expert consensuses, one evidence summary, 21 systematic reviews, and three randomized controlled trials. A total of 29 best evidence points were summarized in six aspects: benefits of physical activity, physically active people, pre-activity assessment, implementation of physical activity programs, safety monitoring of physical activity, and ongoing support strategies.Conclusions:This study supplements and updates 15 pieces of evidence based on existing evidence, ultimately forming a best evidence summary for the management of physical activity in cancer patients, providing evidence-based support for clinical management. Most evidence comes from international studies. It is recommended that Chinese researchers consider the activity ability and willingness of cancer patients when applying these findings in future research, and consider the specific clinical context, or conduct foundational research to further validate the evidence, to comprehensively improve the quality of life of cancer patients.

Objective:To develop the Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Scale for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Guided by the theory of knowledge, attitude, and practice, a preliminary draft of the scale was formed through literature review, Delphi expert consultation, and pre-survey. From May to August 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 200 IBD patients who visited the Gastroenterology Clinic of three ClassⅢ Grade A comprehensive hospitals in Jiangsu Province as the research subject for a questionnaire survey. The critical ratio method, correlation analysis method, internal consistency method, commonality and factor loadings were used for item analysis of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis, content validity index, and internal consistency reliability were applied to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed, and 181 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 90.50% (181/200). The Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Scale for Patients with IBD included three dimensions of knowledge, attitude and practice, with a total of 21 items. The content validity index at the scale level was 0.917, and the content validity index at the item level ranged from 0.833 to 1.000. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.197%. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.951, and the coefficients of each dimension were 0.914 to 0.942. The test-retest reliability coefficient of the total scale was 0.918, and the test-retest reliability coefficients of each dimension ranged from 0.737 to 0.833.Conclusions:The Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Scale for Patients with IBD has good reliability and validity, which can help medical and nursing staff evaluate patients' understanding and acceptance of microbial transplantation, so as to provide a basis for personalized communication in shared decision making between doctors and patients.
