OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of toripalimab （Tor） combined with chemotherapy （CT） in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. METHODS PubMed， the Cochrane Library， Embase， Web of Science， CBM， CNKI， Wanfang Data， and Health Technology Assessment （HTA） related websites were searched to collect the HTA reports， systematic reviews/meta-analyses and pharmacoeconomic studies of Tor+CT in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC from database/website inception to March 31， 2025. After data extraction and quality evaluation， the results of the included studies were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS A total of eleven studies were included， involving five systematic reviews/meta-analyses， and six pharmacoeconomic studies. Among the five systematic reviews/ meta-analyses， two were of high quality， while there was one each of moderate， low， and very low quality. All six pharmacoeconomic studies were of good quality. In terms of efficacy， compared with CT， Tor+CT significantly improved patients’ progression-free survival （PFS） and overall survival （P＜0.05）. In addition， compared with ipilimumab+CT， durvalumab， durvalumab+tremelimumab and sugemalimab+CT， Tor+CT could also improve the PFS （P＜0.05）. In terms of safety， there was no significant difference in the incidence of grade≥3 adverse events between patients receiving Tor+CT and CT （P＞0.05）； while Tor+CT had a lower incidence of grade≥3 adverse E-mail： events， compared with camrelizumab+CT， pembrolizumab+ 3233255290@qq.com ipilimumab， nivolumab+CT and atezolizumab+CT （P＜0.05）.In terms of cost-effectiveness， Tor+CT treatment had certain cost-effectiveness advantages， compared with CT. CONCLUSIONS Compared with CT， other programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitors alone， or their combination with CT， Tor+CT for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC has good efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the qualitative study on the sexual health needs of patients with ostomy based on theoretical domains framework (TDF), providing reference for clinical care and practice.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted for qualitative studies on the sexual experience of ostomy patients in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP database, China Biology Medicine, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Elton B. Stephens Company (EBSCO), Elsevier Scopus (SCOPUS), and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases, with a timeframe of from the creation of the databases to April 15, 2024. The Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence Based Healthcare Center Critical Appraisal Tool was used to evaluate the quality of eligible literature, and the theoretical domain framework was used to integrate the extracted results.Results:A total of 11 articles were included and 51 results were extracted. Based on the theoretical framework, map the sexual health needs of ostomy patients to six core areas: knowledge, skills, optimism, outcome beliefs, environment and resources, and emotions.Conclusions:Medical staff should pay attention to the sexual health needs of patients with intestinal stomas. Based on the six core areas of knowledge, skills, optimism, outcome beliefs, environment and resources, and emotions, they should deeply explore the factors that affect their sexual health, provide professional guidance and comprehensive care, and improve their sexual health level and quality of life.

AIM:To investigate the effect of vaccarin(VAC)on endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),and to uncover the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:(1)C57BL/6 mice received intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin and were fed with a high-fat diet(21.8 kJ/kg,60%of the energy source was fat)to construct a T2DM mouse model.Thirty mice were randomly divided into control,T2DM and T2DM+VAC groups,with 10 mice in each group.The mice in T2DM+VAC group were given 1 mg/kg VAC via oral gavage for 6 weeks,while those in control and T2DM groups were given the same volume of PBS.The mRNA and protein expression levels of BCL2-interacting pro-tein 3(BNIP3),PTEN-induced kinase 1(PINK1)and parkin in the thoracic aorta were detected by RT-qPCR and West-ern blot.(2)Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)were stimulated by high glucose(HG;35 mmol/L glu-cose).Mitochondrial membrane potential,autophagy and mitochondrial superoxide levels were detected using JC-1,acri-dine orange(AO)and MitoSOX staining,respectively.RESULTS:Compared with control group,the mRNA and protein levels of BNIP3,PINK1 and parkin were significantly increased in the thoracic aorta of T2DM mice(P<0.05).Compared with T2DM group,the mRNA and protein levels of BNIP3,PINK1 and parkin in the thoracic aorta were significantly re-duced in T2DM+VAC group(P<0.05).The results of JC-1,AO and MitoSOX staining showed that VAC attenuated the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and the increase in autophagy and mitochondrial superoxide levels in HG-in-duced HUVECs.Treatment with VAC also inhibited HG-mediated mitochondrial damage in HUVECs after BNIP3 overex-pression.The effect of miR-570-3p mimic on mitochondrial damage was similar to VAC.RT-qPCR and Western blot showed that both miR-570-3p mimic and VAC significantly reduced the mRNA and protein levels of BNIP3,PINK1 and parkin.In contrast,inhibition of miR-570-3p exhibited the opposite effects.CONCLUSION:Treatment with VAC alle-viated endothelial dysfunction in T2DM by inhibiting HG-induced mitochondrial dysfunction through miR-570-3p/BNIP3.

Based on data mining technology, the acupoints compatibility rules of acupuncture for depression diseases were explored. The randomized controlled trial (RCT) articles regarding acupuncture for depression diseases published from establishment of database to September 2nd, 2022 were searched in CNKI database, Wangfang database, VIP database, SinoMed database, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library. The use frequency of acupoints, meridian tropism, selection of special acupoints and acupoint association rules for five common depression diseases, including primary depression, post-stroke depression, menopausal syndrome, psychoneurosis and anxiety disorder, were analyzed by Python programming language. Cytoscape software was used to analyze the acupoint association and the disease-acupoint co-occurrence network. As a result, totally 387 articles were included, and 319 acupoints prescriptions for the above five common depression diseases were extracted, involving 159 acupoints. The use frequency of acupoints was 2 574 times in total. The frequently-used acupoints were Baihui (GV 20), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Taichong (LR 3), Neiguan (PC 6), Shenmen (HT 7), Yintang (GV 24⁺), Zusanli (ST 36), Hegu (LI 4), Sishencong (EX-HN 1) and Taixi (KI 3), etc. The frequently involved meridians were the governor vessel, foot-taiyang bladder meridian, foot-taiyin spleen meridian, and foot-jueyin liver meridian. The frequency of the special acupoints from high to low was crossing points, five-shu points, yuan-primary points, back-shu points, luo-connecting points, and eight confluent points, etc, which were often used in combination with "Baihui (GV 20)-Yintang (GV 24⁺)" (the highest degree of association). At the same time, the analysis of the co-occurrence network of depression diseases and acupoints showed that the core acupoints group of acupuncture for depression diseases were Baihui (GV 20), Taichong (LR 3), Shenmen (HT 7), Zusanli (ST 36), Neiguan (PC 6) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6). In conclusion, acupuncture treatment for depression diseases has gradually formed a rule of acupoint compatibility, with special acupoint as the main body and "unblocking the governor vessel, and regulating the spirit and qi " as the main therapeutic principle.
