Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of regulating conception vessel and unblocking governor vessel electroacupuncture in the treatment of cancer-related fatigue(CRF)of middle-to-advanced stage cervical cancer,and to explore its effect on inflammatory factors.Methods A total of 122 patients with a definitive diagnosis of CRF of middle-to-advanced stage cervical cancer admitted to the wards and outpatient clinics of Cangzhou Central Hospital from August 2021 to August 2023 were selected for the study.The patients were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method,with 61 cases in each group.The patients in both groups were given conventional symptomatic treatments such as gastric protection and anti-vomiting since the day of action of chemotherapy.The control group was treated with Dexamethasone Tablets,and the observation group was treated with regulating conception vessel and unblocking governor vessel electroacupuncture on the basis of the control group,the course of treatment covered 21 days.After three weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.The changes in the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,Piper's Fatigue Scale(PFS)scores,Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS)scores,and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General(FACT-G)scores of the patients in the two groups before and after treatment were observed.The changes in interleukin 6(IL-6),hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),and T-lymphocyte subsets indicators[CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+]were compared between the patients in the two groups before and after treatment.Results(1)The total effective rate was 95.08%(58/61)in the observation group and 77.05%(47/61)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,the PFS scores of patients in the two groups were improved significantly(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,the serum IL-6,hs-CRP,and TNF-α levels of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(5)After treatment,the CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(6)After treatment,the KPS scores and FACT-G scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Regulating conception vessel and unblocking governor vessel electroacupuncture in the treatment of CRF of middle-to-advanced stage cervical cancer can effectively alleviate the fatigue of patients,inhibit the release of inflammatory factors,regulate the immune function,and improve the physical condition of patients,so as to improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy,safety,and economy of 4 intravenous iron formulations in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia(IDA)by rapid health technology assessment,and to provide evidence for clinical decision-making.Methods PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane Library,CNKI,WanFang,SinoMed,and official websites of international health technology assessment agencies were electronically searched to collect health technology assessment reports,systematic reviews/Meta-analysis,and pharmacoeconomic studies concerning the treatment of IDA with iron sucrose(IS),iron dextran(ID),ferric carboxymaltose(FCM),and iron isomaltoside(IIM)from the inception to August 15,2024.Two researchers independently screened the studies,extracted data and assessed the quality of included studies.The results were then qualitatively described and analyzed.Results A total of 32 studies were included,including one health technology assessment report,16 systematic reviews/Meta-analysis,and 15 pharmacoeconomic evaluations.In terms of effectiveness,FCM had a higher response rate than that of IS(P＜0.05),FCM and IIM had no statistical difference(P＞0.05).Regarding hemoglobin level change,patients treated with FCM had higher hemoglobin levels than those treated with IS(P＜0.05);the improvement in hemoglobin levels between IIM and FCM was inconclusive.In terms of ferritin level change,FCM might be superior to the other three intravenous iron formulations.In terms of safety,the adverse event rates for FCM,IS,ID and IIM were 12.0％,15.3％,12.0％and 17.0％,respectively;IIM was significantly associated with a lower rate of cardiovascular adverse events compared to FCM and IS(P＜0.05);FCM had the highest rate of hypophosphatemia among the four formulations(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference among IIM,IS and ID(P＞0.05);IIM had a lower risk of severe or serious hypersensitivity reactions compared to FCM and IS.In terms of economy,FCM and IIM had an economic advantage compared to IS.The economic efficiency ranking among IS,ID,and FCM was in the order of FCM,ID,and IS,the economic comparison between FCM and IIM remains inconclusive and needs to be further demonstrated.Conclusion FCM and IIM have good efficacy,safety and economy in the treatment of IDA,but most of the included economy studies based on foreign populations,and domestic economic studies need to be further demonstrated.

Objective: To construct and identify an overexpression recombinant adenovirus vector carrying the mouse PTG gene(NM＿016854), and to lay a foundation for in-depth study of the function of PTG. Methods: The coding sequence of the mouse PTG gene was chemically synthesized, amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR), digested with restriction enzymes, and inserted into the GV314 vector(CMV-MCS-3 FLAG-SV40-EGFP) to obtain the recombinant shuttle plasmid pGV314-PTG. BamHⅠ/AgeⅠ double enzyme digestion was further carried out, and the product was transferred into linearized expression vector pDC315 to construct recombinant adenovirus Ad-PTG, which was transfected into HEK293 T cells and packaged into recombinant virus particles. After repeated amplification of several generations of HEK293 T cells, the recombinant adenovirus was purified and titer detected. Finally, PCR, Western blot and sequencing were used to verify the recombinant adenovirus. Results: After PCR, Western blot and sequencing, the results showed that the pGV314-CMV-MCS-3 FLAG-SV40-EGFP-PTG overexpression adenovirus vector(Ad-PTG) was successfully constructed, and the virus titer measured by end-point dilution method was 4×1010PFU/ml, Western blot and RT-qPCR showed that the protein and mRNA expression levels of PTG increased significantly. Conclusion The recombinant adenovirus vector carrying mouse PTG gene is successfully constructed, and the expression of PTG gene in hepatocytes is effectively up regulated.
