Objective:
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Chinese patent medicines and classic traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions were systematically reviewed from both Chinese and English journals published in 2023. A preliminary summary and evaluation were conducted on the generation and translation of clinical evidence for these treatments. This analysis aims to inform future research on clinical efficacy evaluation and guide the rational application of evidence.
Methods:
RCTs of Chinese patent medicines and classic traditional Chinese prescriptions published in 2023 were comprehensively retrieved from the Artificial Intelligence Clinical Evidence Database for Chinese Patent Medicine (AICED-CPM), with supplementary searches conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (SinoMed), Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The study characteristics and methodological quality of these RCTs were systematically analyzed and evaluated.
Results:
A total of 1 443 RCTs of Chinese patent medicines were included, comprising 1 399 Chinese articles and 44 English articles. Additionally, 334 RCTs of classic traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions were found, with 331 published in Chinese and 3 in English. 196 567 participants were included, covering 585 types of Chinese patent medicines (487 oral, 61 injectable, and 37 topical) and 179 classic traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. The involved studies encompassed 22 types of diseases, with research primarily focusing on diseases of the circulatory system, the respiratory system, and the genitourinary system. The sample sizes ranged from 18 to 3 777 participants, and most studies were conducted at a single center. Methodologically, the implementation of allocation concealment and blinding remained insufficiently emphasized.
Conclusion
Overall, compared with 2022, both the number of RCT publications and their methodological quality have improved in 2023, with heightened attention to research on diseases of the genitourinary system. However, quality control and standardized management in the design and implementation processes still require enhancement to produce more high-quality clinical evidence and accelerate the translation and application of this evidence.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of critically ill neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who acquired Serratia marcescens infection for onset or colonization, and to explore the risk factors contributing to the onset of Serratia marcescens infection. Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted by collecting clinical data from NICU neonates at the Women and Children's Hospital of Ningbo University between January 2017 and December 2023. Forty-four neonates with clinical signs and/or symptoms consistent with Serratia marcescens infection, and with Serratia marcescens isolated from specimens, would be enrolled as the infection onset group, while 45 neonates who tested positive for Serratia marcescens in rectal and/or pharyngeal cultures during the same period, but had no clinical signs or infection symptoms, were enrolled as the colonization control group. The distribution of bacteria in the neonates infected with Serratia marcescens was observed, and clinical data were subjected to univariate and binary multivariate Logistic regression analyses for screening the independent risk factors for onset of acquired Serratia marcescens infection in NICU. Results:During the 7-year period, 5 972 neonates were admitted to the NICU, of which 297 developed hospital-acquired infections. Among these, 44 neonates were identified with Serratia marcescens infection, accounting for 14.8% of hospital-acquired infections. During the same period, a total of 45 neonates were diagnosed with the colonization of Serratia marcescens, but did not develop any symptoms. The primary infection sites of the neonates in both the colonization control group and infection onset group were respiratory tract, accounting for 86.7% (39/45) and 43.2% (19/44), respectively. The highest rate of infection in the infection onset group was respiratory tract (43.2%), followed by bloodstream infection [29.6% (13/44)], intracranial infection [15.9%, (7/44)], intestinal infection [6.8% (3/44)], and urinary tract infection [4.5% (2/44)]; no deaths were reported. In addition to respiratory tract infection, 13.3% (6/45) of the neonates in the colonization control group had intestinal infection, and no pathogenic bacteria was detected in their blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or urine. Univariate analysis showed that compared with the colonization control group, the neonates in the infection onset group had lower gestational ages [days: 28.5 (26.9, 30.0) vs. 32.0 (30.1, 34.6), P < 0.01], lower birth weights and proportion of probiotic usage [birth weights (kg): 1.20 (0.96, 1.44) vs. 1.75 (1.45, 2.23), probiotic usage: 29.5% (13/44) vs. 57.8% (26/45), both P < 0.01], longer length of NICU stay and duration of antibiotic usage [length of NICU stay (days): 65.11±23.00 vs. 40.31±20.04, duration of antibiotic usage (days): 23.09±9.57 vs. 11.80±7.19, both P < 0.01], and higher proportions of invasive procedures such as mechanical ventilation > 3 days and central venous catheterization > 7 days [mechanical ventilation > 3 days: 61.4% (27/44) vs. 20.0% (9/45), central venous catheterization > 7 days: 81.8% (36/44) vs. 28.9% (13/45), both P < 0.01], indicating that these factors were associated with Serratia marcescens infection onset acquired in NICU. Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that a birth weight of ≤ 1.5 kg [odds ratio ( OR) = 5.745, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.345-24.549, P = 0.018], a length of NICU stay > 45 days ( OR = 3.642, 95% CI was 1.102-12.041, P = 0.034), duration of antibiotic usage ( OR = 0.871, 95% CI was 0.799-0.949, P = 0.002), non-usage of probiotics ( OR = 3.191, 95% CI was 1.058-9.627, P = 0.039), and invasive procedures such as mechanical ventilation > 3 days ( OR = 5.302, 95% CI was 1.510-18.619, P = 0.009), and central venous catheterization > 7 days ( OR = 3.818, 95% CI was 1.103-13.212, P = 0.034) were independent risk factors for the onset of NICU-acquired Serratia marcescens infection. Conclusions:The incidence of NICU-acquired Serratia marcescens infection is high. Low birth weight, prolonged length of NICU stay, long-term antibiotic usage, and invasive treatments are independent risk factors for the onset of NICU-acquired Serratia marcescens infection. Oral probiotics may be a new method for preventing onset of NICU-acquired Serratia marcescens infection.

Background and objectiveLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and metastasis is the major cause of death in lung cancer patients. MiR-373 is closely associated with invasion and metastasis in other tumor cells. hTis study explored the expression of miR-373-3p in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its effect on the invasive and metastatic capabilities of lung adenocarcinoma cells, as well as their mechanisms of action.MethodshTe expression of miR-373-3p in NSCLC tissues and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines was detected by quantitative reverse transcrip-tion polymerase chain reaction. hTe roles of miR-373-3p in regulating lung adenocarcinoma cell invasion and metastatic prop-erties were analyzed with miR-373-3p mimic/inhibitor-transfected cells via Transwell chamber assay. Matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9 and MMP-14 protein levels were detected by Western blot in lung cancer cells atfer transfection.Results MiR-373-3p was upregulated in 51 NSCLC tissues and 5 NSCLC cell lines. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies showed that overexpression of miR-373-3p promoted H1299 cell migration and invasion, which resulted in upregulation of MMP-9 and MMP-14. By contrast, miR-373-3p knockdown inhibited these processes in A549 cells and downregulated the expression of MMP-9 and MMP-14.ConclusionOur results demonstrated that miR-373-3p participated in the invasion and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells, partly by upregulation of MMP-9 and MMP-14.
