OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the quality of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports in clinical departments or ward (hereinafter referred to as “department”) based on game theory combinatorial weighting-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS)-rank-sum ratio (RSR) method, providing a reference for the further standardization of ADR reporting. METHODS Based on relevant documents and scoring criteria, the ADR report quality evaluation standards previously developed by our team were modified. Using game theory principles, the fusion of subjective and objective weights for each indicator was determined. A game theory combinatorial weighting-TOPSIS-RSR model was developed to evaluate and categorize the quality of raw ADR reports submitted by departments to the pharmacy department at Bozhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University. RESULTS A total of 222 ADR reports from 23 departments were included. The game theory combinatorial weighting method identifies weak points in management, such as ADR symptoms and signs, the description of underlying diseases, timing of ADR, by optimizing the weightings of the indicators. The TOPSIS-RSR method calculates that the mean relative closeness of the departments was 0.401 7, indicating that the overall report quality ranged from moderate to substandard. 20095) Three departments, including neurosurgery, demonstrated medium reporting quality [estinate closeness (Ĉ)i ≥0.506], while two departments, such as the respiratory department,were rated as unqualified (Ĉi<0.278). The remaining departments were all deemed qualified (0.278≤ Ĉi<0.506). CONCLUSIONS The developed game theory combinatorial weighting-TOPSIS-RSR method provides an effective approach for the quality evaluation of ADR reports, which not only balances subjective and objective weights but also facilitates comparisons among different departments. There is still room for improvement in the ADR report quality at the hospital.

BackgroundThe prevalence of depression is elevated in elderly patients with diabetes, underscoring the critical importance of implementing early psychological intervention to improve their clinical outcomes.However, the cognitive function level of patients may limit the implementation of these intervention methods. While prior research has predominantly focused on interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy to mitigate the depressive symptoms in this demographic, the exploration of group reminiscence therapy as a therapeutic approach remains underrepresented in the existing literature. ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of group reminiscence therapy on depressive symptoms, cognitive function, and quality of life in elderly patients with diabetes and mild to moderate depression, so as to provide valuable insights for psychological intervention of elderly diabetic patients. MethodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted to recruit 80 elderly diabetic patients with mild to moderate depression attending the endocrine clinic of Northeast International Hospital from June 2022 to December 2023. Subjects were randomly allocated to either the study group or the control group using the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. Both groups received standard diabetes care and mental health education. Additionally, the study group participated in an 8-week group reminiscence therapy intervention, convening once weekly for 1.5 hours per session. Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Verbal Fluency Test (VFT), Stroop Color Word Test (SCWT) and Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) were administered before and after intervention. ResultsAfter intervention, the study group exhibited a significantly lower HAMD-24 score compared with the control group (F=13.908, P<0.01). The study group also demonstrated better performance in cognitive assessments, as evidenced by increased percentages of correct responses and conceptual-level responses on the WCST, a greater number of correct words on the VFT, and a higher number of accurate responses on the SCWT, all in contrast to the control group (F=14.672, 17.000, 13.309, 21.672, P<0.01). The study group reported superior quality of life outcomes, with higher total GQOLI-74 scores and significant improvements in the domains of physical function, social function, psychological function, and material life status compared with the control group (F=33.098, 41.224, 16.320, 19.432, P<0.01). ConclusionGroup reminiscence therapy has the potential to alleviate depressive symptoms, enhance cognitive function and improve quality of life in elderly diabetic patients with mild to moderate depression.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating role of self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden between family function and decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 219 gastric cancer inpatients in Xinxiang Central Hospital of Henan Province from June 2023 to December 2024 as study subjects. Family Assessment Device, Chinese version of the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, Self-Perceived Burden Scale, and Decision Fatigue Scale were used to conduct the survey. The chain mediating effect were tested using Model 6 in the SPSS PROCESS program.Results:Family function, self-management efficacy, self-perceived burden and decision fatigue scores of gastric cancer patients were (73.08±8.47), (90.15±14.33), (31.64±6.55), and (19.23±3.05), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that age, education level, per capita monthly family income, tumor stage and treatment method were the influencing factors of decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that family function was negatively correlated with self-management efficacy ( P<0.05) and positively correlated with self-perceived burden and decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and self-management efficacy was negatively correlated with self-perceived burden and decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and self-perceived burden was positively correlated with decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and the differences of the above were statistically significant. Mediating effect analysis showed that family function positively predicted decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, with a direct effect of 0.117, accounting for 62.57% of the total effect. Self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden realized the mediating effect between family function and decision fatigue through three mediating pathways. Mediating pathway 1 was family function → self-management efficacy → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.032, which accounted for 17.11% of the total effect. Mediating pathway 2 was family function→ self-perceived burden → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.026, which accounted for 13.90% of the total effect. Mediating path 3 was family function → self-management efficacy → self-perceived burden → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.012, accounting for 6.42% of the total effect. The total mediating effect was 0.070, accounting for 37.43% of the total effect. Conclusions:Family function can not only directly influence decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, but also indirectly influence decision fatigue through the mediating role of self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden. Decision fatigue of gastric cancer patients could be reduced in the future by improving family function, increasing patients' self-management efficacy, and reducing their self-perceived burden.

Objective:
To investigate the potential mechanisms of Xanthatin in inhibiting the proliferation of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC) cells by integrating network pharmacology and in vitro experiments.
Methods:
The targets of Xanthatin were identified using databases such as PharmMapper, while disease-related targets for LSCC were obtained from databases such as DisGeNET. The overlapping targets between Xanthatin and LSCC were determined by intersecting these datasets. A protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was constructed based on the overlapping targets, and key targets were identified. Gene ontology(GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) enrichment analyses of the overlapping targets were performed using R software. A "Xanthatin-target-pathway" network was visualized using Cytoscape 3.8.0 software. The preliminary validation of the aforementioned results was performed using molecular docking and transcriptomics. The effects of Xanthatin on the proliferation of TU177 cells were assessed using CCK-8 and colony formation assays. Additionally, Western blot analysis was employed to measure the expression levels of PI3K, p-PI3K, Akt, and p-Akt proteins.
Results:
A total of 159 overlapping targets between Xanthatin and LSCC were identified, and seven key targets, including AKT1, were screened. GO enrichment analysis yielded 2 455 entries, and KEGG enrichment analysis identified 172 pathways, such as the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Xanthatin exhibited favorable binding activity with the core target proteins of LSCC in molecular docking experiments. The transcriptomics results showed high consistency with the predictions from network pharmacology. CCK-8 and colony formation assays demonstrated that Xanthatin at concentrations of 1, 2, and 4 μmol/L significantly inhibited the proliferation of TU177 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The expression levels of p-PI3K and p-Akt proteins decreased with increasing concentrations of Xanthatin.
Conclusion
Xanthatin may exert an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of LSCC cells by modulating the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.
