OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of narrative pharmacy management on medication compliance, negative emotions, and quality of life in patients with cardiovascular disease complicated with negative emotions. METHODS A total of 49 patients with drug use problems and negative emotions attending the cardiovascular pharmacy clinic of Wuhan First Hospital from February to August 2023 were selected as the study objects, narrative pharmacy model was applied for patient management during their visits; pharmaceutical care and emotional management were performed after 2 weeks of treatment and a follow-up visit was conducted to evaluate and record the management effect one month later. RESULTS Adopting a narrative pharmacy management model, 49 patients were involved in 114 drug related consultation questions. Compared with the visit, after one month of management, the number of medication types taken by patients significantly decreased [4.00 (2.00, 6.00) vs. 3.00 (1.50, 5.00), P<0.05], the incidence of adverse reactions significantly decreased (32.65% vs. 2.04%, P<0.001), the rate of blood pressure and lipid compliance significantly increased (30.61% vs. 95.92%, P<0.001), and the score of the patient’s medication compliance significantly improved ([ 3.94±2.44) vs. (6.78±2.07), P<0.01]. The depression score significantly decreased [3.00 (2.00, 4.50) vs. 2.00 (0.00, 3.00), P<0.001], the anxiety score significantly reduced [3.00 (2.00, 4.50) vs. 1.00 (0.00, 2.00), P<0.001], quality of life score was significantly improved [22.00 (19.00, 22.00) vs. 23.00 (23.00, 24.50), P<0.01]. In the satisfaction survey, there was a slight increase in the overall satisfaction proportion (91.84% vs. 97.96%, P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The application of narrative pharmacy in cardiovascular pharmacy clinic can improve patient compliance, reduce adverse drug reactions, enhance the effectiveness of drug treatment, avoid drug interactions, effectively improve the anxiety and depression, and ultimately improve the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the expression of lncRNA SNHG8 in placenta accrete(PA)and its effect on trophoblast invasion and migration.Methods qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of lncRNA SNHG8 in placenta tissue of 30 cases in PA group and 30 cases in control group,and the correlation between lncRNA SNHG8 expression and prenatal ultrasound score of 30 cases in PA group was analyzed.Transwell and scratch assay were used to detect the effect of lncRNA SNHG8 interference on the invasion and migration of human chorionic trophoblast cells(HTR8/SVneo cells),and western blot was used to detect the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9.The downstream targets of lncRNA SNHG8 were predicted by StarBase software,and the expression of lncRNA SNHG8 was detected in placental tissues of the two groups.Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between lncRNA SNHG8 and miR-542-3p.Results Compared with that of the control group,the expression of lncRNA SNHG8 was up-regulated in the placenta tissue of the PA group(P<0.05),and it was positively correlated with prenatal ultrasound score.Interference with lncRNA SNHG8 inhibited the invasion and migration of trophoblast cells(P<0.05);the protein expression of MMP-9 and MMP-2 also decreased signifi-cantly(P<0.05).Biological prediction indicates that miR-542-3p had a binding site with lncRNA SNHG8,and miR-542-3p expression was down-regulated in PA placental tissue(P<0.05).Dual luciferase reporter assay confirmed that lncRNA SNHG8 could target miR-542-3p.Compared with si-SNHG8+inhibitor-NC,co-transfection of si-SNHG8 and miR-542-3p inhibitor enhanced the invasion and migration ability of trophoblast cells(P<0.05).Conclusion lncRNA SNHG8 is highly expressed in PA and is related to the severity of PA.LncRNA SNHG8 promotes the invasion and migration of trophoblast by regulating the level of miR-542-3p.The study suggests that lncRNA SNHG8 plays an important role in the invasion and migration of PA trophoblast cells,which is expected to be a clinical diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

Objective:To explore whether transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) can improve the prognosis of esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) combined with sarcopenia in cirrhotic patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed. A total of 464 cases with cirrhotic EGVB who received standard or TIPS treatment between January 2017 and December 2019 were selected. Regular follow-up was performed for the long-term after treatment. The primary outcome was transplantation-free survival. The secondary endpoints were rebleeding and overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE). The obtained data were statistically analyzed. The t-test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to compare continuous variables between groups. The χ2 test, or Fisher's exact probability test, was used to compare categorical variables between groups. Results:The age of the included patients was 55.27±13.86 years, and 286 cases were male. There were 203 cases of combined sarcopenia and 261 cases of non-combined sarcopenia. The median follow-up period was 43 months. The two groups had no statistically significant difference in follow-up time. There was no statistically significant difference in transplant-free survival between the TIPS group and the standard treatment group in the overall cohort ( HR=1.31, 95% CI: 0.97-1.78, P=0.08). The TIPS patient group with cirrhosis combined with sarcopenia had longer transplant-free survival (median survival: 47.76 vs. 52.45, χ2=4.09; HR=1.55, 95 CI: 1.01~2.38, P=0.04). There was no statistically significant difference in transplant-free survival between the two kinds of treatments for patients without sarcopenia ( HR=1.22, 95% CI: 0.78~1.88, P=0.39). Rebleeding time was prolonged in TIPS patients with or without sarcopenia combination (patients without combined sarcopenia: median rebleeding time: 39.48 vs. 53.61, χ2=18.68; R=2.47, 95 CI: 1.67~3.65, P<0.01; patients with sarcopenia: median rebleeding time: 39.91 vs. 50.68, χ2=12.36; HR=2.20, 95 CI: 1.42~3.40, P<0.01). TIPS patients had an increased 1-year OHE incidence rate compared to the standard treatment group (sarcopenia patients: 6.93% vs. 16.67%, χ2=3.87, P=0.049; patients without sarcopenia combination: 2.19% vs. 9.68%, χ2=8.85, P=0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the long-term OHE incidence rate between the two kinds of treatment groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:TIPS can significantly prolong transplant-free survival compared to standard treatment as a secondary prevention of EGVB concomitant with sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis. However, its advantage is not prominent for patients with cirrhosis in EGVB without sarcopenia.

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of different treatment modalities for moderate to severe Henoch- Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN). METHODS Literature searches were conducted in the CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, SinoMed, PubMed, OVID, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies on the treatment of moderate to severe HSPN with 12 intervention measures: monotherapy with glucocorticoid (GC), as well as cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), Tripterygium wilfordii multiglucoside (TWM), leflunomide, mizoribine, tacrolimus, cyclosporin A, hemoperfusion, tonsillectomy combined with GC, and double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) combined with GC and cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil. The search period was from the inception of the databases to March 2024. After literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment, a network meta- analysis was performed using Stata 16.0 software. RESULTS A total of 28 articles were included, with 14 RCTs and 14 cohort studies, involving 1 746 patients. The network meta-analysis results showed the combination of tacrolimus and GC had the highest probability of being the best in overall remission rate, followed by the combination of TWM and GC, and DFPP combined with GC and MMF. The combination of leflunomide and GC had the highest probability of being the best in complete remission rate, followed by the combination of mizoribine and GC, and DFPP combined with GC and cyclophosphamide. The combination of mizoribine and GC had the highest probability of being the best in terms of reducing 24-hour urinary protein quantification, followed by DFPP combined with GC and MMF, and the combination of leflunomide and GC. Moreover, the combination of tacrolimus and GC had the highest probability of being the best in safety, followed by the combination of cyclosporin A and GC, and the combination of leflunomide and GC. CONCLUSIONS Compared to other treatment methods, the combination therapy of tacrolimus and GC shows better efficacy and safety in the treatment of moderate to severe HSPN.
