Objective:To investigate the status of depression and physiological, psychological and social factors among people with type 2 diabetes(T2DM), as well as the mediating effects of illness perception and diabetes distress on glycemic control and depression.Methods:A total of 511 patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited and investigated using general demographic questionnaire, self-rating depression scale(SDS), brief illness perception questionnaire(BIPQ) and diabetes distress scale(DDS). Body mass index (BMI) and hemoglobin a1c (HbA1c) were detected in laboratory.Results:The mean score of SDS was (57.48±9.94). The distribution of depression condition were 138(27.0%)without depression, 179(35%)with mild depression, 174(34.1%)with moderate depression and 20(3.9%)with severe depression.SDS score was significantly positively correlated with poor glycemic control ( r=0.157, P<0.01), illness perception( r=0.359, P<0.01) and four dimensions of diabetes distress( r=0.177-0.354, P<0.01). Partially mediating effect of illness perception( B=0.216, 95% CI=0.112-0.372) was found in glycemic control and depression, the proportion of effect was 25.9%.The chain mediating effect ( B=0.086, 95% CI=0.042-0.149) of illness perception and diabetes distress was also found between glycemic control and depression, whose indirect effect size was 10.3%. Conclusion:Glycemic control is significantly related with depression.Illness perception and diabetes distress are partly mediating the effect between glycemic control and depression.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the effects of Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with conventional chemotherapy on the immune function of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and provide evidence-based reference for clinical medication. METHODS: Retrieved from Cochrane Library, PubMed, Medline, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP and CBM, Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with conventional chemotherapy (trial group) versus conventional therapy (control group) for advanced NSCLC were collected. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation with Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0 risk evaluation tool, Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software. RESULTS: A total of 16 literatures were included, involving 1 324 cases. Results of Meta-analysis showed that there were no statistical significance in the difference of objective remission rate (ORR) [RR=1.14, 95%CI(0.91,1.43), P=0.25] and the level of CD8+ [MD=-1.26,95%CI(-4.10, 1.59),P=0.39] between 2 groups. The levels of CD3+ [MD=17.48, 95%CI(13.40, 21.56), P<0.000 01 ], CD4+[MD=12.26, 95%CI(8.39 16.13), P<0.000 01], CD4+/CD8+ [MD=0.33,95%CI(0.27, 0.39),P<0.000 01] and the percentage of NK cells [MD=9.33, 95%CI(5.72, 12.94), P<0.000 01] in trial group were significantly higher than control group. Results of subgroup analysis for medication duration of Shenqi fuzheng injection showed that after 1-14 d treatment of Shenqi fuzheng injection, the levels of CD3+ [MD=17.11, 95%CI(12.37 ,23.17),P<0.000 01], CD4+[MD=13.28,95%CI(8.33, 18.23),P<0.000 01], CD4+/CD8+[MD=0.36,95%CI(0.28,0.43),P<0.000 01] and the percentage of NK cells [MD=12.06,95%CI(7.52,16.61),P<0.000 1] in trial group were significantly higher than control group. After 21 d treatment of Shenqi fuzheng injection, the levels of CD3+[MD=14.88, 95%CI(7.51,22.26),P<0.000 01], CD4+[MD=10.56,95%CI(5.57,15.56),P<0.000 01], CD8+[MD=3.02, 95%CI(1.80, 4.23),P<0.000 01], CD4+/CD8+[MD=0.29,95%CI(0.23, 0.35),P<0.000 01] and the percentage of NK cells [MD=5.58,95%CI(2.49, 8.67),P=0.000 4] in trial group were significantly higher than control group. There was no statistical significance in the level of CD8+ between 2 groups after 7-14 d treatment of Shenqi fuzheng injection [MD=-4.26,95%CI(-12.60, 4.09),P=0.32]. The incidence of leukopenia, nausea and vomiting, and renal dysfunction in trial group were significantly lower than control group. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of hemoglobin decreased and thrombocytopenia between 2 groups. The results of publication bias showed that there was a greater possibility of publication bias in this study. CONCLUSIONS: Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with conventional chemotherapy may improve the immune function of patients with advanced NSCLC and improve the safety after chemotherapy. But more large-scale, milltiple-center and high-quality RCT are needed to validate this conclusion.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for constructing scientific and reasonable pharmaceutical service mode for hospitalized patients with chronic airway diseases. METHODS From October 2023 to March 2024, 250 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute exacerbation of asthma who were hospitalized in the respiratory department of Hebei General Hospital and received pharmaceutical care (PC) were randomly divided into control group (125 cases) and observation group (125 cases). The control group received general pharmaceutical services throughout their hospitalization, while the observation group received standardized and graded pharmaceutical services throughout their hospitalization. The differences in clinical value indicators, humanistic value indicators, and quality management indicators were compared among different PC service models. RESULTS Among clinical value evaluation indicators, the observation group had better achievement rate of disease treatment goals, correct use score of inhalation devices, the incidence of adverse drug reactions, and the number of drug-related problems solved than the control group (P<0.05). Among the humanistic evaluation indicators, compared with the control group, the observation group had better medication compliance scores, pharmacist intervention success rates, and patient satisfaction scores (P<0.05). Among quality management evaluation indicators, the proportion of drug costs, the proportion of intravenous medication, the use rate of antibiotics, the intensity of antibiotic use, and the number of pharmaceutical services in the observation group were significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Standardized and graded pharmaceutical care services have improved the efficiency of pharmacists and service effectiveness, making it a new pharmaceutical service model worth promoting.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment regimens as first-line treatment for metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) using a network meta-analysis (NMA) approach. METHODS Electronic databases including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Wanfang Data, CNKI, and VIP were searched for randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) on first-line treatment for metastatic UC from January 1, 2010 to January 31, 2024. After literature screening and data extraction, a risk of bias assessment of included studies was conducted. R software (version 4.3.2) was used to perform the NMA. RESULTS A total of 11 RCTs involving 14 treatment interventions were included. No significant differences were noted in objective response rate among groups, with the combination of pembrolizumab, gemcitabine and cisplatin having the highest probability of ranking first. Regarding progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), no significant differences were observed among groups, while enfortumab vedotin combined with pembrolizumab showed a trend towards better PFS extension compared to gemcitabine combined with cisplatin [HR=0.45, 95%CI(0.20,1.06), P=0.049], and it had the highest probability of ranking first in both PFS and OS. CONCLUSIONS The combination of enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab may have an advantage in prolonging survival in the first-line treatments for metastatic UC.
