Objective To explore the correlation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome elements with language function and activities of daily living(ADL)in patients suffering post-stroke aphasia(PSA).Methods Ninety-eight PSA patients hospitalized at the College of Rehabilitation Medicine,Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 2023 to April 2024 were selected.The language function,TCM syndrome elements,and their correlations were analyzed.Results(1)Among PSA patients,males outnumbered females.PSA patients exhibited different performances on various aphasia-related scales,with language impairments mainly concentrated in naming and spontaneous speech.(2)The distribution of TCM syndrome elements varied in PSA patients with different age groups.In the age group＜50 years old,qi obstruction(100.00%),phlegm syndrome(100.00%),and dampness syndrome(100.00%)were predominant.In the age group of 50-59 years old,phlegm syndrome(100.00%)and yang hyperactivity syndrome(96.30%)were predominant.In the age group of 60-69 years old,phlegm syndrome(100.00%)and yang hyperactivity syndrome(96.15%)were also predominant.In the age group of 70-79 years old,qi deficiency syndrome(100.00%)was predominant.In the age group of 80-89 years old,syndromes such as qi insecurity,qi obstruction,qi deficiency,phlegm,yang hyperactivity,blood stasis,wind stirring,and blood cold were concentrated(all 100.00%).However,there were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of TCM syndrome elements among various age groups(P＞0.05).(3)The distribution of deficiency and excess syndrome elements varied in PSA patients with different genders.Among deficiency syndrome elements,yang hyperactivity,qi deficiency,and yin deficiency were predominant in males,while yang hyperactivity,qi deficiency,and blood deficiency were predominant in females.Among excess syndrome elements,phlegm syndrome,qi obstruction,and dampness syndrome were predominant in males,while phlegm syndrome,qi obstruction,and qi stagnation syndrome were predominant in females.However,there were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of deficiency and excess syndrome elements between genders(P＞0.05).(4)After controlling the factors of age group and gender,partial correlation analysis of syndrome elements and language function showed that among the disease-location syndrome elements,spontaneous naming(r=-0.588,P=0.027)and sematic cued naming(r=-0.558,P=0.038)in the Boston Naming Test(BNT)were negatively correlated with the large intestine;among the disease-nature syndrome elements,BNT sematic cued naming(r=0.821,P＜0.001)was positively correlated with qi sinking,while BNT spontaneous naming was negatively correlated with blood heat(r=-0.544,P=0.044)and was positively correlated with fluid depletion(r=0.860,P=0.028);BNT recognitive naming was positively correlated with external wind(r=0.966,P=0.034);errors in BNT sematic cued naming were negatively correlated with qi sinking(r=-0.540,P=0.005);the Modified Barthel Index(MBI)was positively correlated with essence deficiency(r=0.572,P=0.021).Conclusion The TCM syndrome elements of phlegm,qi block,yang hyperactivity,and qi deficiency are commonly seen in PSA patients.There is a certain correlation of language function and ADL with TCM syndrome elements in PSA patients.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of cognitive impairment in non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD).Methods A total of 60 hospitalized non-dialysis patients with CKD in the Department of Nephrology of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from September 2022 to September 2023 were enrolled as research objects.According to the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),they were divided into stage 1 to 2 of CKD group[eGFR ≥60 mL/(min·1.73 m2)]with 23 cases,the stage 3 of CKD group[eGFR 30～＜60 mL/(min·1.73 m2)]with 20 cases,and stage 4 to 5 of CKD group[eGFR＜30 mL/(min·1.73 m2)]with 17 cases.The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA)was used to evaluate the cognitive function of the patients.Basic data and common clinical laboratory in-dicators on hospital admission were collected to analyze the differences in cognitive function levels under different renal function statuses and to explore the influencing factors of cognitive impairment.Results The incidence rates of cognitive impairment in the stage 1 to 2 of CKD group,stage 3 of CKD group,and stage 4 to 5 of CKD group were 47.8％,85.0％,and 94.1％respectively,the median MoCA scored 26,24 and 20 respectively,with statistically significant between-group differ-ences(P＜0.05).Cognitive function was significantly negatively correlated with age(r=-0.634,P＜0.001),blood urea nitrogen(BUN)(r=-0.574,P＜0.001),serum creatinine(Cr)(r=-0.417,P＜0.001),cystatin C(Cys-C)(r=-0.327,P=0.011),serum β2-microglobulin(β2-MG)(r=-0.259,P=0.046),and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)(r=-0.474,P＜0.001),and was significantly positively correlated with hemoglobin(HB)(r=0.401,P=0.001)and eGFR(r=0.485,P＜0.001).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age(P=0.006)and NT-proBNP(P=0.041)were influencing factors of cognitive im-pairment in non-dialysis patients with CKD.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC),sensitivity,and specificity of age for prediction were 0.860,0.864 and 0.812 respectively,the AUC,sensitivity,and specificity of NT-proBNP for pre-diction were 0.808,0.795 and 0.875 respectively,and the combined prediction of age and NT-proBNP had an AUC,sensitivity,and specificity of 0.893,0.955,and 0.750,respectively.Conclusion As renal function deteriorates,the incidence rate and severity of cognitive impairment in non-dialysis patients with CKD tend to increase.Advanced age,renal function deterioration,high NT-proBNP level,and anemia are associated with the occurrence of cognitive impairment in non-di-alysis patients with CKD,among which age and NT-proBNP are influencing factors for cognitive im-pairment.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of different anthropometric indices in as-sessing body fat content in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD).Methods Bioelectrical im-pedance analysis was used to measure body fat percentage and visceral fat area in 279 non-dialysis CKD patients.Height and body mass were measured to calculate body mass index(BMI).Waist and hip circumferences were measured to calculate waist-to-hip ratio.Skinfold thickness(triceps skinfold thickness and subscapular skinfold thickness)was also measured.Pearson correlation analysis was employed to explore the correlations between anthropometric indices and body fat percentage as well as visceral fat area.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted,and the DeLong test was conducted to compare the differences in the area under the curve(AUC)of the ROC curves.Results Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant correlations between body fat percentage and BMI(r=0.419,P＜0.001),hip circumference(r=0.450,P＜0.001),triceps skinfold thickness(r=0.229,P＜0.001),and subscapular skinfold thickness(r=0.324,P＜0.001).Significant correlations were also observed between visceral fat area and BMI(r=0.658,P＜0.001),hip circumference(r=0.648,P＜0.001),triceps skinfold thickness(r=0.194,P=0.001),and subscapular skinfold thickness(r=0.333,P＜0.001).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the triceps skinfold thickness had the largest AUC value(0.732)for diagnosing obesity in CKD patients,with a sensitivity of 62.1％and specificity of 78.8％,indicating a moderate diagnostic performance.BMI and hip circumference had AUC values of 0.806 and 0.804,respectively,for as-sessing visceral obesity in CKD patients,showing good diagnostic performance.In contrast,the waist-to-hip ratio exhibited poor diagnostic value for both overall obesity and visceral obesity.Conclusion Measuring BMI and hip circumference is valuable for diagnosing visceral fat accumula-tion in CKD patients.However,when assessing overall obesity in CKD patients,multiple anthropo-metric indices should be combined for comprehensive evaluation.Additionally,our results indicate that different anthropometric indices have varying diagnostic values for different types of obesity,ne-cessitating appropriate selection based on actual circumstances.

Objective To explore the features of sleep quality and its relationship with perceived stress and occupational stress in military personnel serving in high-altitude regions.Methods Cross-sectional study design was adopted in this study.In February 2023,self-designed demographic data questionnaire,Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI),perceived stress scale(PSS-10)and job content questionnaire(JCQ)were applied to survey 3 784 soldiers from a unit stationing in plateau subjected by cluster sampling.Results The total score of PSQI was 5.37±2.78 in the participants,and the total score and the scores of each dimension of PSQI were significantly higher than the national norms for Chinese(P＜0.001).There were significant differences in PSQI scores among different age,length of military service,nationality,length of stationing in plateau,education level and family structure(P＜0.001).The low perceived stress group had significantly lower PSQI scores than the high perceived stress group(t=-12.108,P＜0.001).Regulatory effect analysis showed that the length of stationing in plateau,work autonomy,work psychological requirements,and social support in the work environment could modulate the relationship between perceived stress and sleep quality(t=8.326,-3.788,-2.145,-6.656,P＜0.05),and explained 14.6％,7.6％,7.0％and 7.9％of the variance of sleep quality,respectively.Conclusion The military personnel serving in high-altitude regions have a poor sleep quality.Age,time of military service,time of stationing in plateau,nationality,family structure,education level,perceived stress,and occupational stress are important factors affecting their sleep quality.The length of stationing in plateau time and occupational stress,can modulate the relationship between perceived stress and sleep quality.

Objective:To re-evaluate the effectiveness of exercise interventions in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by conducting a systematic review and provide insights for the implementation and continuous improvement of exercise intervention strategies.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted across databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, Campbell Collaboration, and the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center Database. The search covered literature from the inception of the databases until December 19, 2023. Two researchers trained in evidence-based nursing independently screened the literature. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the AMSTAR 2 tool, and the quality of evidence was graded using the GRADE system.Results:Eight systematic reviews were included. The AMSTAR 2 evaluation revealed one review of moderate quality, six of low quality, and one of very low quality. GRADE assessment of 33 outcome indicators showed that one piece of evidence was of moderate quality, 24 were of low quality, and eight were of very low quality.Conclusions:Exercise interventions may improve overall functional outcomes in ALS patients without exacerbating fatigue. However, due to the limitations in the quantity and quality of the included studies, further large-scale, high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to verify the effects of exercise interventions in ALS patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of dulaglutide combined with insulin glargine on glucose and lipid metabolism, pancreatic islet function, oxidative stress and bone metabolism indicators in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods A total of 98 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly divided into insulin glargine group and combined group, with 49 cases in each group. The insulin glargine group was treated with insulin glargine and metformin, while the combined group was treated with dulaglutide, insulin glargine and metformin. The levels of blood glucose, blood lipids and pancreatic islet function were compared between the two groups before and after treatment; enzyme immunoassay analyzer was used to detect the levels of oxidative stress indicators; immunoturbidimetry was used to detect bone metabolism indicators; the urinary microalbumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) was calculated in both groups, and the therapeutic effect was compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, the levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial glucose (2 hPG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the combined group were significantly lower than those in the insulin glargine group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the combined group were significantly lower than those in the insulin glargine group, while the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was significantly higher than that in the insulin glargine group (P<0.05). After treatment, the homeostatic model assessment of insulin secretion (HOMA-IS) in the combined group was significantly higher than that in the insulin glargine group, while the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was significantly lower than that in the insulin glargine group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of catalase (CAT) and osteocalcin (OC) in the combined group were significantly higher than those in the insulin glargine group, while the levels of lipid peroxide (LPO) and β-collagen degradation products (β-CTX) were significantly lower than those in the insulin glargine group (P<0.05). After treatment, the UACR in the combined group was (33.26±3.37) mg/g, which was significantly higher than (25.49±2.83) mg/g in the insulin glargine group (P<0.05). The total effective rate in the combined group was 93.88%, which was significantly higher than 79.59% in the insulin glargine group (P<0.05). Conclusion Dulaglutide combined with insulin glargine can effectively regulate the blood glucose and lipid levels of patients with type 2 diabetes, improve the function of pancreatic islets, alleviate the oxidative stress reaction, improve bone metabolism, and regulate the UACR level.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the econ omical efficiency of daratumumab combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone （D-Rd） regimen versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone （Rd） regimen alone in the treatment of transplant- ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma （TNE-NDMM）. METHODS From the perspective of China ’s health system ，a partitioned survival model with three health states of progression free survival ，disease progression and death was established by using the published MAIA test data and relevant literature data. The model cycle was 28 days and the simulation time limit was 20 years. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio （ICER）was calculated using quality-adjusted life years （QALY）as the output index. Sensitivity analysis was performed for key parameters. RESULTS The results of basic analysis showed that the ICER of D-Rd regimen versus Rd regimen was 2 719 038.08 yuan/QALY，far exceeding 3 times of GDP per capita in 2021（242 928 yuan）. The results of single factor sensitivity analysis showed that cost discount rate ，progression-free survival utility value ，utility discount rate，the cost of daratumumab and lenalidomide had a greater impact on ICER. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis suggested that the probability of economic advantage of D-Rd regimen was always 0 within the WTP range of 0-1 200 000 yuan. CONCLUSIONS Compared with Rd regimen ，D-Rd regimen has no cost-effectiveness advantage for the treatment of TNE-NDMM under the WTP of 3 times GDP per capita of China .

OBJECTIVE From the perspective o f China ’s h ealth service system ，to ev aluate the cost-effectiveness of sintilimab combined with chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC），so as to provide reference for the selection of clinical medication plan and medical and health decision-making. METHODS Based on the ORIENT-11 study data ，a partitioned survival model was established ，and the model period was 21 days to simulate the death of 99％ of the patients. Using quality-adjusted life years （QALY）as an output indicator ，the cost-effectiveness of sintilimab combined with chemotherapy （trial group ）versus chemotherapy alone （control group ）in the first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent NSCLC was evaluated. Cost and utility were discounted using 5％ discount rate ；sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were used to verify the robustness of the underlying analysis results. RESULTS Under the premise that 3 times of the per capita gross domestic product （GDP）of China in 2020 was used as the threshold of willingness-to-pay （WTP），the patients in the trial group obtained more utility （0.482 QALY）and also spent nearly twice as much as the control group. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio（ICER）was 334 974.41 yuan/QALY. Univariate sensitivity analysis showed that progression-free survival status utility value ， pemetrexed price ，utility discount rate ，cost discount rate and sintilimab price had a greater impact on ICER. The results of probability sensitivity analysis showed that when the WTP threshold was 3 times of China ’s per capita GDP in 2020，the probability of the trial group ’s plan being cost-effective was 6.5％. The results of the scenario analysis verified the robustness of the underlying analysis results. CONCLUSIONS On the premise of taking 3 times of China ’s per capita GDP in 2020 as the WTP threshold ， sintilimab combined with chemotherapy is not cost-effective for first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent NSCLC compared with chemotherapy alone.

Objective:To preliminarily establish the multidisciplinary cooperative vaccination management model for pediatric patients with hematological and oncological diseases, and to explore its feasibility.Methods:In this prospective study a total of 150 children with hematological and oncological diseases visited immunization clinic of Shanghai Children′s Medical Center from March 2017 to August 2018 were enrolled in this study. After establishing the multidisciplinary team, designing vaccination plan, staff training, implementation and quality control, a multidisciplinary immunization clinic was set up and the vaccination plan were implemented. The implementation rate of vaccination immunization, the HBsAb level and serum hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) level before and after treatment, the HBsAb level and serum immunoglobulin G antibody (IgG) levels of measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) before and 6 months after immunization, the vaccine-related adverse reactions were assessed prospectively. Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was used to compare the differences of antibody level.Results:A total of 124 cases had been vaccinated as planned, with a coverage rate of 82.7%. Among these cases, the difference of HBsAb positive rate before and after treatment was significant (62.9% (78/124) vs.13.7% (17/124), χ2= 63.489, P<0.01). In 64 cases that completed three doses of hepatitis B immunization, there was a significant difference in HBsAb positive rate before and 6 months after immunization (6.3% (4/64) vs. 98.4% (63/64), P<0.01). In 40 cases that completed MMR immunization, the IgG antibody positive rate for measles (22.5% (9/40) vs. 82.5% (33/40), χ2 =31.746, P<0.01), mumps (22.5% (9/40) vs.82.5% (33/40), χ2 =28.872, P<0.01), rubella (25.0% (10/40) vs.62.5% (25/40), χ2 =11.429, P<0.01) before and 6 months after immunization were significantly different. Of the 421 doses of immunization, 25 (5.9%) doses reported controlled systemic or local adverse event. Conclusions:The immunization of pediatric patients with hematological and oncological diseases is of great importance. The newly-developed multidisciplinary cooperation immunization model for Chinese children with hematological and oncological diseases is feasible, and the immunization protocol is safe and has a certain effect.
