Objective? To investigate and analyze the domestic and oversea studies on heart failure symptom clusters through a bibliometric analysis, and provide evidence basis for future clinical nursing research. Methods? The CNKI the Wanfang Science and Technology Journal Full-text Database, the China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), the PubMed, and the Web of Science database were searched for the articles both in Chinese and English about heart failure symptom clusters published from database establishment dates to August 31st, 2018 and analyzed on their published years, distribution of journals, and research content. Results? A total of 21 articles complied with the standard were retrieved with the first published article dated back to 2009. Among them, there were 13 cross-sectional studies, 4 longitudinal studies, 3 reviews, and 1 tool development. Although different studies had differences in research design, sample characteristics, assessment tools, and analytical methods, the main findings were basically the same: somatic symptom cluster and emotional symptom cluster were common symptom clusters in patients with heart failure; somatic symptom cluster mainly included shortness of breath, dyspnea, fatigue, declined physical strength, dyscoimesis; emotional symptom cluster mainly included anxiety, depression, cognitive disorder; there was still controversy about the classification of edema. Conclusions? At present, the research on heart failure symptom clusters in China and abroad is still at the initial exploration stage, and the research results are still unstable. In the future, we can further develop long-term dynamic observation of heart failure symptom clusters and explore corresponding symptom management strategies.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in patients with Major Depressive Disorders.Methods Search the database for relevant literature published before April 15,2023.Select randomized controlled trial that meeting the enrollment criteria,evaluate the quality of the literature and classify before meta-analysis systematic evaluation.Results 15 RCTs are included in this study,with a total of 1077 patients.The results showed that acupuncture treatment,compared with antidepressants alone,The score of Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)in patients with liver-qi depression disorder[MD=-0.73,95%CI(-1.22,-0.24),P<0.05],the score of TCM Syndrome Scale[MD=-1.89,95%CI(-2.35,-1.44),P<0.001],effective rate[RR=1.09,95%CI(1.03,1.153),P=0.001]and TESS score[MD=-2.76,95%CI(-3.68,-1.85),P<0.001]were statistically significant.Compared with fluoxetine hydrochloride,the effective rate of HAMD scale score was statistically significant[RR=1.07,95%CI(1.01,1.14),P<0.05].Conclusion Compared with antidepressants alone,acupuncture therapy has the advantages for the improvement of HAMD score in patients,the improvement of Traditional Chinese medicine symptoms,and significantly less adverse effects than those in the control group.Through this study,it is considered that acupuncture can be a safe and effective treatment modality.However,due to the quantity and quality of the included literature,the above conclusions still need to be verified by more high-quality clinical trials.
