Psoriasis arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal disease intricately linked to psoriasis (PsO), with a multifaceted etiology encompassing genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. Characterized by complex clinical manifestations, PsA often follows a protracted course with a propensity for relapses, potentially culminating in joint deformity and disability. The condition is further complicated by associated comorbidities such as inflammatory bowel disease, uveitis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome, which significantly diminish patients′ quality of life. Early detection and screening of PsA are crucial for its management and prevention of adverse outcomes. However, in China, there is a notable deficiency in the recognition and early diagnosis of PsA, with missed or incorrect diagnoses being relatively common. The consensus comprises four overarching statements and sixteen detailed recommendations, with the overarching goal of enhancing the early diagnosis and treatment of PsA by clinical physicians, thereby improving patient outcomes.

BACKGROUND: The use of inserted sham acupuncture as a placebo in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is controversial, because it may produce specific effects that cause an underestimation of the effect of acupuncture treatment. OBJECTIVE: This systematic survey investigates the magnitude of insert-specific effects of sham acupuncture and whether they affect the estimation of acupuncture treatment effects. SEARCH STRATEGY: PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched to identify acupuncture RCTs from their inception until December 2022. INCLUSION CRITERIA: RCTs that evaluated the effects of acupuncture compared to sham acupuncture and no treatment. DATA EXTRACTION AND ANALYSIS: The total effect measured for an acupuncture treatment group in RCTs were divided into three components, including the natural history and/or regression to the mean effect (controlled for no-treatment group), the placebo effect, and the specific effect of acupuncture. The first two constituted the contextual effect of acupuncture, which is mimicked by a sham acupuncture treatment group. The proportion of acupuncture total effect size was considered to be 1. The proportion of natural history and/or regression to the mean effect (PNE) and proportional contextual effect (PCE) of included RCTs were pooled using meta-analyses with a random-effect model. The proportion of acupuncture placebo effect was the difference between PCE and PNE in RCTs with non-inserted sham acupuncture. The proportion of insert-specific effect of sham acupuncture (PIES) was obtained by subtracting the proportion of acupuncture placebo effect and PNE from PCE in RCTs with inserted sham acupuncture. The impact of PIES on the estimation of acupuncture's treatment effect was evaluated by quantifying the percentage of RCTs that the effect of outcome changed from no statistical difference to statistical difference after removing PIES in the included studies, and the impact of PIES was externally validated in other acupuncture RCTs with an inserted sham acupuncture group that were not used to calculate PIES. RESULTS: This analysis included 32 studies with 5492 patients. The overall PNE was 0.335 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.255-0.415) and the PCE of acupuncture was 0.639 (95% CI, 0.567-0.710) of acupuncture's total effect. The proportional contribution of the placebo effect to acupuncture's total effect was 0.191, and the PIES was 0.189. When we modeled the exclusion of the insert-specific effect of sham acupuncture, the acupuncture treatment effect changed from no difference to a significant difference in 45.45% of the included RCTs, and in 40.91% of the external validated RCTs. CONCLUSION The insert-specific effect of sham acupuncture in RCTs represents 18.90% of acupuncture's total effect and significantly affects the evaluation of the acupuncture treatment effect. More than 40% of RCTs that used inserted sham acupuncture would draw different conclusions if the PIES had been controlled for. Considering the impact of the insert-specific effect of sham acupuncture, caution should be taken when using inserted sham acupuncture placebos in RCTs.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection in the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in a real-world setting.Methods:This was a real-world ambispective cohort study (MOMENT study) (Chinese clinical trial registry number: ChiCTR2200062067). Clinical data were collected from 198 patients who received mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy or combination therapy at 37 hospitals from January 2022 to January 2023, including 166 patients in the retrospective cohort and 32 patients in the prospective cohort; 10 patients in the treatment-na?ve group and 188 patients in the relapsed/refractory group. Clinical characteristics, efficacy and adverse events were summarized, and the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed.Results:All 198 patients were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection for a median of 3 cycles (range 1-7 cycles); 28 cases were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy, and 170 cases were treated with the combination regimen. Among 188 relapsed/refractory patients, 45 cases (23.9%) were in complete remission (CR), 82 cases (43.6%) were in partial remission (PR), and 28 cases (14.9%) were in disease stabilization (SD), and 33 cases (17.6%) were in disease progression (PD), with an objective remission rate (ORR) of 67.6% (127/188). Among 10 treatment-na?ve patients, 4 cases (40.0%) were in CR, 5 cases (50.0%) were in PR, and 1 case (10.0%) was in PD, with an ORR of 90.0% (9/10). The median follow-up time was 2.9 months (95% CI 2.4-3.7 months), and the median PFS and OS of patients in relapsed/refractory and treatment-na?ve groups were not reached. In relapsed/refractory patients, the difference in ORR between patients with different number of treatment lines of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection [ORR of the second-line, the third-line and ≥the forth-line treatment was 74.4% (67/90), 73.9% (34/46) and 50.0% (26/52)] was statistically significant ( P = 0.008). Of the 198 PTCL patients, 182 cases (91.9%) experienced at least 1 time of treatment-related adverse events, and the incidence rate of ≥grade 3 adverse events was 66.7% (132/198), which was mainly characterized by hematologic adverse events. The ≥ grade 3 hematologic adverse events mainly included decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, decreased white blood cell count, and anemia; non-hematologic adverse events were mostly grade 1-2, mainly including pigmentation disorders and upper respiratory tract infection. Conclusions:The use of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection-containing regimen in the treatment of PTCL has definite efficacy and is well tolerated, and it is a new therapeutic option for PTCL patients.

Objective To explore the effect and significance of electronic account books on the management of anesthesia and psychotropic drugs. Methods The data of electronic account books from January 2020 to June 2020 in the inpatient pharmacy of the hospital (observation group), and manual account books from July 2019 to December 2019 (control group) were collected respectively. The data of daily accounting time, monthly settlement accounting time and accounting accuracy between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results The daily average time for pharmacists to manually accounting was (162.8±22.5) min, and the daily average time for pharmacists to make accounts electronically was (33.2±7.0) min. It took (245.5±7.2) min for manual accounting of monthly settlement and (46.8±2.5) min for electronic accounting of monthly settlement. The accuracy rate of daily counting records, special account books, special register and empty ampoule waste paste recovery records included in electronic accounting is up to 100%. Conclusion The implementation of electronic account books not only significantly improved the work efficiency of pharmacists, but also strengthened drug supervision, formed a comprehensive traceability system, which could ensure the safety of clinical medication, and make the management of narcotic psychotropic drugs more efficient and standardized.

Objective:To explore the value of case analysis combined with role revelation in cultivating thinking ability of surgical nursing training.Methods:A total of 87 newly recruited nurses who needed to rotate in the surgical system of Fenyang Hospital, Shanxi Medical University from January 2019 to October 2020 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into control group ( n=43) and study group ( n=44). The control group used traditional teaching, and the study group used case analysis combined with role revelation. The clinical thinking ability of nurses was evaluated by written examination of clinical thinking ability and clinical thinking ability score table. SPSS 22.0 was used for t-test. Results:The scores of written examination of clinical thinking ability (history collection, preliminary clinical diagnosis, preliminary nursing measures, auxiliary examination interpretation, comprehensive analysis of diagnosis and treatment process, nursing and discharge diagnosis, and health education) of nurses in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The scores of clinical thinking ability (critical thinking ability, system thinking ability and evidence-based thinking ability) of nurses in the study group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Case analysis combined with role revelation in the surgical nursing training of new nurses is helpful to improve the trainees' clinical thinking ability.

Objective:To analyze the disease spectrum among children who were using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and evaluate the drug′s safety and compliance.Methods:From January 2008 to December 2019, children from Children′s Hospital of Fudan University who used HCQ were selected as subjects, the disease spectrum of HCQ was analyzed, and the drug safety and compliance were evaluated for the patients who were followed up for more than 6 months. Demographic information, diagnosis, initial dose, time of continuous use, cumulative dosage and related adverse reactions report, project and the results of eye test were collected.Results:A total of 528 cases used HCQ during the 12 years, with 156 male cases and 372 female cases, and age at initial medication was (10.5±3.2) years. Among them, 514 cases (97.3%) had rheumatic disease, 5 had pulmonary interstitial lesions and 9 had other system diseases. The top three of the rheumatic diseases were systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in 316 cases (316/514,61.5%), juvenile idiopathic arthritis in 69 cases (69/514,13.4%), and juvenile dermatomyositis in 56 cases (56/514,10.9%). During the same period, 397 cases were diagnosed with SLE, and the utilization rate was 79.6% (316/397), which was the highest compared with other diseases and increased year by year. Pulmonary interstitial lesions included 4 cases with SFTPC gene defect related interstitial lung disease. Of the 528 ceses who were treated with HCQ, 397 cases were included for evaluating HCQ′s safety and compliance, the initial dose was (4.2±1.0) mg/kg, duration was 29.6 (14.9, 48.8) months, the longest usage time was 127 months, the largest cumulative dosage was 566.8 g. The continuous usage duration ( Z=-3.191, P=0.001) of SLE was significantly higher than those of other diseases, as well as cumulative dosage ( Z=-5.355, P=0.001). All cases received comprehensive eye exams before medication, 354 cases (354/397, 89.2%) were followed up in the ophthalmological department, and 65.5% (232/354) of them could be reviewed regularly at least 1 time per year. One case suffered from severe skin adverse reactions when the drug was used for 32.7 months, and no other serious adverse reactions were reported. HCQ related retinopathy was not seen during the follow-up period. There were 5 cases stopped HCQ on their own. Conclusions:HCQ was widely used in rheumatic disease in children, especially in those with SLE. It was safe for long-time usage in children, and the medication compliance and the ophthalmic follow-up was good.

Objective:To investigate the willingness and influencing factors of mothers of very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to donate breast milk or accept donated breast milk.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 124 mothers of VLBWIs who were admitted to NICU of Children's Hospital of Fudan University from March to July 2019 were selected as investigation objects. The self-designed questionnaire was used to assess the willingness to donate breast milk, the willingness to accept breast milk donation and knowledge of breast milk donation. The survey was conducted by downloading the questionnaires through mobile terminals to analyze attitudes of mothers of VLBWIs towards breast milk donation and its influencing factors.Results:Among 124 mothers of VLBWIs, 51.6% (64/124) were reluctant to donate breast milk, mainly because they feared that the amount of breast milk after donation would affect the feeding of their children. 43.5% (54/124) did not want their children to receive donated breast milk, mainly because of doubts about the safety of donated breast milk. Adequate lactation was the main factor affecting the willingness to donate breast milk ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:It is necessary to strengthen the publicity and education on the safety of breastfeeding and breastmilk donation and improve the cognition of breastmilk donation.
