Gouty arthritis (GA) is a metabolic disease caused by disorders of purine metabolism and/or abnormal excretion of uric acid in the body. Its pathogenesis is mostly related to dietary structure as well as excessive intake of protein, sugar and fat, and the clinical manifestations are joint redness, swelling, heat and pain, which seriously affect the daily life of patients. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out research on anti-GA drugs. Western drugs for the treatment of GA, such as colchicine, can relieve pain in the short term, but with obvious side effects in long-term treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine has definite efficacy and high safety in the treatment of GA and is more acceptable to patients than western medicine. Modern medical research has concluded that inflammatory factors, oxidative stress, apoptosis and intestinal dysbacteriosis are closely related to the pathogenesis of GA. In-depth research has found that single traditional Chinese medicine and its compounds can regulate Toll-like receptors/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (TLRs/MyD88) signaling pathway, NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) and other inflammatory signaling pathways, and further intervene in the downstream cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor-α(IκB-α) and aspartate-specific cysteine protease 1 (Caspase-1) to reduce inflammatory factors and increase anti-inflammatory factors, thereby exerting the anti-GA role. Therefore, this paper summarized and elaborated the experiments of inflammatory response mediated by traditional Chinese medicines and their compounds via regulating inflammatory signaling pathways in recent years, which provides new ideas and theoretical basis for finding more related anti-inflammatory traditional Chinese medicines for the treatment of GA.

Objective:To analyze the clinical adverse events of the first carbon ion therapy system in radiotherapy for cancer patients in China.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical trial monitoring data of the carbon ion therapy system obtained by the Pharmacovigilance Center of Gansu Province. A descriptive study was conducted on the demographic characteristics, radiotherapy techniques, irradiation site and dose parameters, postoperative follow-up, and adverse event information of 46 tumor patients who received carbon ion therapy and participated in the clinical trial in Wuwei Cancer Hospital, Gansu Province from November 2018 to February 2019. Frequency and percentage were used to describe and analyze the occurrence of adverse events after carbon ion therapy for cancer patients in different groups. All subjects who received radiotherapy were grouped according to the treatment dose and fractionation method.Results:The median age of the 46 patients was 47 years old, and the male to female ratio was 30∶16. There were 15, 5, 8, 9, and 9 patients with head and neck, chest, abdomen, pelvic cavity, and limb spinal tumors, respectively. The total duration of radiotherapy was 2-4 weeks for 10-16 times. There were 246 adverse events in 45 cases, with an incidence of 98%. No severe adverse events occurred. The adverse events definitely related to carbon ion devices accounted for 19.1%, and no severe adverse events related to carbon ion devices occurred. According to the evaluation criteria of common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE), the main adverse events were CTCAE grade 2 and below, with only 1 (2%) head and neck tumor patient (nasopharyngeal malignant tumor) experienced CTCAE grade 3 adverse events after treatment. In addition, 43 patients developed acute adverse reactions, with an incidence of 93%, mainly involving the skin, mucosa, eyes, ears, pharynx and esophagus, upper gastrointestinal tract, lower gastrointestinal tract (including pelvic cavity), lung, genitourinary tract, heart, central nervous system and hematology (white blood cells, platelets and neutrophils), etc. Conclusion:The adverse reactions of patients treated with the first carbon ion therapy system are mainly CTCAE grade 2 and below, and the clinical adverse events are mild and controllable.

Objective:To explore status and influencing factors of medication deviation in elderly patients with brain infarction during the hospital-family transition, and to explore the relationship between medication deviation and adverse drug events.Methods:From November 2021 to May 2022, 218 elderly patients with brain infarction from Neurology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College were selected as the research objects by the convenience sampling method. General data questionnaire and Self-Efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use Scale were used to investigate patients. One month after discharge, patients were investigated by telephone using Medication Discrepancy Tool and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale with Eight-Item, and the incidence of adverse drug events was collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of medication deviation. Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between adverse drug events and medication deviation. A total of 218 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 207 valid questionnaires were effectively recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.0%.Results:The incidence of medication deviation in elderly patients with brain infarction was 48.8% (101/207) . Logistic regression analysis results showed that hypertension, stroke severity, medication compliance and medication quantity were the influencing factors of medication deviation ( P<0.05) . Spearman correlation analysis results showed that adverse drug events were positively correlated with medication deviation ( r=0.234, P<0.01) . Conclusions:The incidence of medication deviation in elderly patients with brain infarction during the hospital-family transition was higher. Hypertension, stroke severity, medication compliance and medication quantity were the influencing factors of medication deviation. Medical staff should formulate targeted intervention measures based on the influencing factors of medication deviation, so as to reduce the incidence of medication deviation.

Objective:To explore the application of OTD (observation, teaching and discussion) teaching combined with clinical pathway in nursing standardized training in operating room.Methods:A total of 50 nurses who were trained in the Operating Room of The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from August 2017 to June 2020 were selected and divided into control group and study group according to the rotation order, with 25 nurses in each group. Traditional teaching was used in the control group, and OTD teaching combined with clinical pathway was used in the study group. After the rotation training, the teaching effect was evaluated through the assessment of theoretical knowledge and clinical practice comprehensive ability, teaching satisfaction, and the satisfaction scores of participating surgeons and patients. SPSS 22.0 was used for t-test and chi-square test. Results:The results of theoretical assessment, clinical skill assessment and comprehensive ability assessment of operating room of the rotating nurses in the study group were higher than those in the control group, with significant difference ( P < 0.05). The study group was significantly better than the control group in 8 aspects, including learning initiative, stimulating learning interest, problem-solving ability, communication ability, clinical thinking ability, teamwork ability, critical thinking ability and teaching satisfaction ( P<0.05). The satisfaction scores of doctors [(94.06±2.67) vs. (92.17±2.75)] and patients [(94.90±3.22) vs. (91.25±3.10)] in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:OTD teaching combined with clinical pathway can help to improve the theoretical knowledge, clinical practice comprehensive skills and teaching satisfaction of nursing students in operating room, and then improve the teaching quality.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma of the extra-upper aerodigestive tract (extra-UADT NKTCL).Methods:The clinical data of 159 patients with extra-UADT NKTCL from the China Lymphoma Collaborative Group (CLCG) database between November 2001 and December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-rank test were used to evaluate the prognosis. The Cox regression model is used for multi-factor analysis.Results:Extra-UADT NKTCL commonly occurs in skin and soft tissues (106/159, 66.7%) and gastrointestinal tract (31/159, 19.5%). The incidences of elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and Ann Arbor Ⅲ~Ⅳ stage were 47.8% (76/159) and 64.2% (102/159), respectively. The 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 43.6% and 27.9%, respectively. The corresponding OS rates of primary skin/soft tissue site and gastrointestinal tract site were 41.0% and 59.4% ( P=0.281), while the PFS rates were 24.8% and 48.3%, respectively ( P=0.109). Combined modality treatment improved the 3-year OS of all the patients (58.4% vs 33.9%, P=0.001) and 3-year PFS (40.7% vs 20.7%, P=0.008) when compared with chemotherapy alone. LDH elevation, Ann Arbor synthesising and ≥2 junction external bits were intrusive as independent risk factors for total survival ( P<0.05), LDH elevation and ≥2 junction outer bits were intrusive as independent risk factors for progressionless survival( P<0.05). The distant extranodal dissemination was the primary failure patterns. Conclusions:Extra-UADT NKTCL appears to have distinct clinical characteristics and poor outcome. Compared with chemotherapy alone, combined modality treatment may improve the prognosis of patients with extra-UADT NKTCL.

Objective:To evaluate the prognosis and determine the failure patterns after radiotherapy for low-risk early-stage patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal-type (ENKTCL).Methods:A total of 557 patients from 2000—2015 with low-risk early-stage ENKTCL who received radiotherapy (RT) with or without chemotherapy (CT) from China Lymphoma Collaborative Group were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 427 patients received combined modality therapy, whereas 130 patients received RT alone. Survivals were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared with Log-rank test. Overall survival (OS) was compared with age and sex-matched general Chinese population using expected survival and standardized mortality ratio (SMR). Cox stepwise regression model was used for multivariate analysis.Results:The 5-year OS and progression-free survival (PFS) were 87.2% and 77.2%. The SMR was 3.59 ( P<0.001) at 1 year after treatment, whereas it was 1.50 at 4 years after treatment, without significant difference between ENKTCL group and country-matched general population ( P=0.146). Compared with RT alone, CMT did not result in significantly superior 5-year OS (87.0% vs 87.4%, P=0.961) or PFS (76.1% vs 80.7%, P=0.129). Local failure (11.5%, 64/557) and distant failure (10.8%, 60/557) were the main failure modes, while regional failure was rare (2.9%, 16/557). The 5-year locoregional control rate (LRC) was 87.2% for the whole group, with 89.5% for ≥50 Gy versus 73.7% for <50 Gy ( P<0.001). Radiotherapy dose was an independent factor affecting LRC( P<0.05). Conclusions:Radiotherapy achieves a favorable prognosis in patients with low-risk early-stage ENKTCL. The incidence of either locoregional or distant failure is low. Radiation dose still is an important prognostic factor for LRC.

Objective:
To understand the consciousness of the cancer early detection among urban residents and identify the influencing factors from 2015 to 2017.
Methods:
A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. Self-designed questionnaires were used to collect population, socioeconomic indicators, self-cancer risk assessment, regular participation in physical examination and other information. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the factors of people who had not regularly participated in the regular physical examination in the past five years.
Results:
The self-assessment results of 32 357 residents showed that there were 27.54% (8 882) of total study population with self-reported cancer risk, 45.48% (14 671) without cancer risk and 26.98% (8 704) with unclear judgement on their own cancer risk. Among population with cancer risk, 79.84% (7 091) considered physical examination accounted. In the past five years, there were 21 105 (65.43%) residents participated in regular physical examination and 11 148 (34.56%) participated in non-scheduled one, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with unmarried and western region residents, divorced, middle and eastern region residents had a stronger consciousness to participate in the regular physical examination (
