This study was aimed to evaluate impacts on immune regulation with spleen-strengthening and kidney-tonifying method among advanced malignant tumor patients. The enrolled advanced malignant tumor patients were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group. The control group was treated with conventional treatment plan. The treatment group was treated with spleen-strengthening and kidney-tonifying Chinese herbs on the basis of conventional treatment plan for three months. Clinical effect, integral of clinical symptom (ICS), T-lym-phocyte subsets, and drug safety index were observed and detected before and after treatment. The results showed that the effective rate and response rate in the control group were 31.1% and 71.1%, respectively. And the effective rate and response rate in the treatment group were 54.2% and 85.4%, respectively. The treatment group was better than the control group (P< 0.05). Compared to the control group, the treatment group had obvious regulation on T-lymphocyte subsets. The improvement on ICS in the treatment group was better than the control group (P < 0.05). There was no obvious adverse reaction with the application of Chinese herbs. It was concluded that the spleen-strengthening and kidney-tonifying method can improve clinical effect, life of quality, and reduce adverse reaction a-mong advanced malignant tumor patients. Its mechanism may be through the regulation of immune function.

Objective This study aimed to analyze the knowledge, attitude, behavior, and practice of pneumococcal vaccination in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Methods From January to March 2018, 3000 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly selected from patients with type 2 diabetes registered and managed in community health service centers to participate in a questionnaire survey, using multi-stage cluster random sampling. The questionnaire included basic information, pneumococcal vaccine awareness, and pneumococcal vaccination status and inoculation intention, 2896 valid questionnaires were collected. The chi-squared test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the knowledge, attitude, behavior, and practice and influencing factors of pneumococcal vaccination. Results Of all the patients, 1267 (43.75%) patients with type 2 diabetes were willing to receive pneumococcal vaccination, and 23 (0.79%) patients with type 2 diabetes were vaccinated against pneumococcal, 1295(44.72%) patients with type 2 diabetes believed that patients with chronic diseases were susceptible to pneumococcal. Eight hundred seventy-seven (30.38%) patients believed that pneumococcal vaccination for chronic disease patients could reduce the risk of outpatient, hospitalization and death. Seven hundred ninety-nine (27.59%) patients believed that diabetic patients were the primary recipients of the pneumococcal vaccine. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that retired patients; those who thought that patients with chronic diseases were susceptible to pneumonia; those who thought that pneumococcal vaccination could reduce the risk of needing outpatient care, hospitalization, and death;and those who thought that diabetes was the priority of pneumococcal vaccination were more willing to receive pneumococcal vaccination (OR=1.442, 0.764, 1.494, 1.713, P all<0.05). Conclusion Patients with type 2 diabetes in Shenzhen have lower pneumococcal vaccine awareness, inoculation intention, and vaccination rates. Health education on the prevention of diabetes complications and pneumococcal vaccination should be promoted.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effects of mechanical chest compression (CC) combined with manual CC and single-manual CC on the outcome indexes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). Methods The relevant publicly published literatures about the effects of mechanical CC combined with manual CC and single-manual CC on the outcome of CPR were searched by using the following Chinese keywords for retrieval: "cardiac arrest, asystole, sudden death, artificial recovery, artificial press, artificial CC, unarmed CPR, unarmed resuscitation, unarmed compressions, unarmed chest compressions, unarmed, artificial, resuscitation instrument, resuscitation machine, resuscitator, CPR, LUCAS, Autopulse, Thumper, MSCPR-1A"in databases such as China Biomedical Literature (CBM), VIP, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI) from their dates of foundation to March 11, 2019, and using the following key words in English "heart arrest, cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary arrest, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Resuscitation, Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation, CPR, compression, mechanical, automatic, automated, load distributing band, LBD, Autopulse, LUCAS" to retrieve all the published articles especially concerning the topics on the application effects of mechanical combined with manual CC for IHCA patients' CPR in the America National Library database (PubMed), Excerpta Medica (EMbase), Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from the establishment of the databases to March 11, 2019. The indexes of outcomes included return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rate, survival rate after hospital discharge and incidence of complications. The literatures were extracted independently by two reviewers, the qualities of the included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were evaluated according to the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool, and the qualities of the included observational studies were evaluated according to the literature quality assessment form (NOS). Meta analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software, and publication bias was assessed by using funnel plot. Results Twenty-one studies were enrolled, including 11 RCT articles and 10 observational studies; there were 2 005 participants. The results of this Meta-analysis showed that compared with manual CC, the ROSC rate and after discharge survival rate of IHCA patients were obviously higher in combined CC group [ROSC: odds ratio (OR) = 2.50, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 2.03-3.09, P < 0.000 01; discharge survival rate: OR = 2.71, 95%CI = 1.91-3.85, P < 0.000 01]; the incidence of complications of combined CC was lower than that in single manual CC (OR = 0.30, 95%CI = 0.13-0.68, P = 0.004). The funnel plots indicated that there was no apparent bias in the ROSC; because the enrolled studies were relatively few, it was difficult to evaluate the symmetrical characteristics of the funnel plots for discharge survival rate and the complication rate. Conclusions For IHCA patients, combined CC can improve ROSC, discharge survival rate, and reduce the occurrence of complications. It is suggested that during the actual rescue of IHCA patients, it is better to use combined CC, that is to say, manual CC should be adopted immediately in the early stage and then replace the mechanical CC device as soon as possible.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of cinepazide maleate injection in the treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase Ⅳ clinical trial, led by Peking Union Medical College Hospital, was conducted in 65 Hospitals in China. The efficacy of cinepazide maleate injection in patients with acute anterior circulation cerebral infarction with onset time of ≤48 hours, 7≤National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score ≤25 was assessed from August 2016 to February 2019, using the proportion of modified Rankin scale (mRS) score≤1 and Barthel index (BI) score≤95 on day 14 as efficacy endpoint. The patients were divided into treatment group who were treated with cinepazide maleate injection and control group who were treated with placebo.Results:A total 937 patients were involved in the final efficacy analysis (466 in treatment group and 471 in control group). The proportion of subjects with mRS score≤1 on day 14 after treatment were higher in the treatment group than that in the control group (102/466(21.89%) vs76/471(16.14%)). Logistic regression analysis showed that patients treated with cinepazide maleate were significantly more likely to have a favorable outcome (mRS score≤1) than patients treated with placebo on day 14 ( OR=0.677, 95% CI 0.484-0.948 , P=0.023), and patients treated with cinepazide maleate were more likely to reach independence in activities of daily living (Barthel Index ≥95) than those treated with placebo on day 14 (125/466(26.82%) vs 91/471(19.32%); OR=0.632, 95% CI0.459-0.869, P=0.005). The rate of adverse events was similar between the treatment and control groups. Conclusion:The 14-day treatment with cinepazide maleate injection could reduce the degree of disability whereas did not increase the risk of adverse events.

Objective:To investigate the blood pressure change in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and hypertension treated with cinepazide maleate injection.Methods:This was a subgroup analysis of post-marketing clinical confirmation study of cinepazide maleate injection for acute ischemic stroke: a randomized, double-blinded, multicenter, placebo-parallel controlled trial, which conducted in China from August 2016 to February 2019. Eligible patients fulfilled the inclusive criteria of acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores of 7-25. The primary endpoints were mean blood pressure of AIS patients treated with cinepazide maleate or control, which were assessed during the treatment period (14 days), and the proportion of the patients with normal blood pressure was analyzed after the treatment period. Furthermore, a subgroup analysis was performed to investigate a possible effect of the history of hypertension on outcomes.Results:This analysis included 809 patients with hypertension. There was no significant difference in patients blood pressure and the proportion of patients with normal blood pressure (60.5% vs. 59.0%, P>0.05) between cinepazide maleate group and control group. Conclusion:Administration of cinepazide maleate injection does not affect the management of clinical blood pressure in patients with AIS.

Objective:
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of intervention and management of the patients with dyslipidemia in some districts in Shenzhen and provide health economic basis for prevention and control of dyslipidemia.
Methods:
We conducted a comprehensive community intervention among patients for dyslipidemia management, enrolling 204 cases of dyslipidemia in the intervention group and 200 cases in the control group through multi-stage cluster random sampling. We collected baseline and intervention data, such as the cost of institutional intervention (labor costs, office expenses, material expenses, loss of low-value consumables, service costs, and depreciation of fixed assets), patient costs (direct and indirect medical costs), effect indicators (lipid control rate, lipid improvement rate, and lipid exacerbation rate) to analyze cost-effectiveness.
Results:
After 12 months of the comprehensive community intervention, the total cost for the intervention group was 1 321.62 yuan per capita; the cost per patient was 973.33 yuan; and per capita institutional cost was 348.29 yuan. Total cholesterol, triglyceide, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol of intervention group decreased by 0.43 mmol/L, 0.16 mmol/L, and 0.42 mmol/L, respectively, after the intervention, and there was a significant difference before and after the intervention (

Objective:To confirm the efficacy and safety of cinepazide maleate injection in acute ischemic stroke patients with obvious motor function deficit.Methods:This study is a subgroup analysis of multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase Ⅳ clinical trial. A total 812 patients of acute ischemic stroke with obvious limb motor deficit [motor function of limbs score in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) ≥4] were enrolled in this subgroup analysis. Patients received either cinepazide maleate injection or placebo. The treatment period was 14 days and follow-up was 90 days. The efficacy endpoints included the proportions of patients with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤2, mRS score ≤1 and Barthel Index <95 on day 90. Safety was evaluated by recording all adverse events, monitoring vital signs, laboratory parameters and electrocardiogram.Results:A total of 732 patients were involved in the final efficacy analysis (361 in cinepazide maleate group and 371 in control group). The baseline limb motor function score of NIHSS was 5.23±1.43 in the cinepazide maleate group whereas 5.20±1.36 in the control group. Logistic regression analysis showed that following treatment for 90 days, the proportion of patients with a mRS score ≤2 was significantly higher in the cinepazide maleate group than in the control group [56.0% (202/361) vs 44.2% (164/371), OR=0.60, 95% CI 0.44-0.82, P=0.002]. The proportion of patients with a mRS score ≤1 was higher in the cinepazide maleate group than in the control group [43.3% (139/361) vs 35.2% (118/371), OR=0.69, 95% CI 0.50-0.97, P=0.031]. The proportion of patients with a Barthel Index <95 on day 90 was significantly lower in the cinepazide maleate group than in the control group [45.2% (145/361) vs 55.2% (185/371), OR=0.64, 95% CI 0.46-0.88, P=0.007]. During the treatment and follow-up period, the incidence of the most common adverse events in the cinepazide maleate group was 50.4% (199/395). Constipation and abnormal liver function were more common, but there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion:Cinepazide maleate injection is superior to placebo in improving neurological function and activities of daily living, reducing disability, and promoting functional recovery and safe in patients with acute ischemic stroke with obvious limb motor deficit.
