ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the application of narrative education in undergraduate nursing teaching， to understand the current application status of narrative education， and to provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent establishment of a sound narrative education system. MethodsA systematic search was conducted for studies published in Chinese and English databases on applying narrative education to undergraduate nursing teaching， with the search period ranging from database inception to February 23， 2025. Literature was screened， and relevant information was extracted. A rigorous quality evaluation was conducted on the included studies， and a descriptive analysis was performed on their content. ResultsA total of 20 papers were included， involving 3，180 research subjects， all of whom were undergraduate nursing students. The results of descriptive analysis showed that the teaching model of narrative education primarily encompassed reading narrative works， watching films and videos， performing narrative scenarios， and writing reflective journals. The course setting and content covered pre-teaching preparation and in-teaching implementation. The evaluation of teaching effectiveness included the evaluation of teachers’ teaching methods （student evaluation/self-evaluation） and the evaluation of students’ learning effectiveness （course grade evaluation/humanistic care scale/empathy scale assessment， and others）. ConclusionNarrative education combines abstract concepts with concrete clinical situations， which not only enriches students’ learning experiences but also enhances their humanistic literacy. Meanwhile， it provides teachers with opportunities to develop their narrative teaching skills， which requires them to possess profound professional knowledge and employ narrative techniques to guide students in reflection and critical thinking， thereby improving teaching quality and learning outcomes. Future efforts should consistently deepen the connotation research of narrative education and build a systematic nursing education system.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the correlation between baseline ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) parameters in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and compare the value of the two methods in the prognosis assessment of DLBCL. METHODS: A total of 50 DLBCL patients confirmed by pathology, including 26 males and 24 females, with a median age of 55.5(43.5, 64.0) years from August 2018 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. PET/CT parameters, including maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), ctDNA parameters, including mutation number, mutation gene number, mean variant allele frequency (meanVAF), and clinical data of patients were collected. The relationship between PET/CT, ctDNA parameters and patient clinical features was analyzed, as well as the correlation between PET/CT and ctDNA parameters. The diagnostic efficacy of PET/CT and ctDNA parameters was compared. Patients were followed up for 36-69 months. Progression-free survival (PFS) was calculated, and survival analysis was performed. RESULTS: PET/CT parameters all had good correlation with ctDNA parameters, among which MTV was moderately correlated with mutation number, mutation gene number, and meanVAF (r_s=0.72, 0.64, 0.71), TLG was strongly correlated with mutation number (r_s=0.83) and moderately correlated with mutation gene number and mean VAF (r_s=0.72, 0.79), while SUVmax was weakly correlated with mutation number, mutation gene number and meanVAF (r_s=0.47, 0.46, 0.47). PET/CT parameters and ctDNA parameters showed no statistically significant differences in predicting the prognosis of DLBCL and area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) (P >0.05). However, the specificity of MTV and TLG in predicting prognosis of 1-, 2- and 3-year PFS was better than that of meanVAF (all P < 0.05), while the sensitivity of meanVAF in predicting prognosis of 1-, 2- and 3-year PFS was better than that of MTV (all P < 0.05). The optimal cut-off values of SUVmax, MTV, TLG, mutation number, mutation gene number and meanVAF in predicting tumor progression were obtained using ROC curve analysis. Patients were divided into high and low expression groups according to the cut-off values and survival analysis was performed. The results of survival analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in PFS between the high and low expression groups (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Baseline ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT and ctDNA parameters can both predict the prognosis of DLBCL, and are equally valuable in the evaluation of DLBCL prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pill (STDP) in treating stable angina patients with phlegm-heat and blood-stasis syndrome by exercise duration and metabolic equivalents. METHODS: This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial enrolled stable angina patients with phlegm-heat and blood-stasis syndrome from 22 hospitals. They were randomized 1:1 to STDP (35 mg/pill, 6 pills per day) or placebo for 56 days. The primary outcome was the exercise duration and metabolic equivalents (METs) assessed by the standard Bruce exercise treadmill test after 56 days of treatment. The secondary outcomes included the total angina symptom score, Chinese medicine (CM) symptom scores, Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores, changes in ST-T on electrocardiogram and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS: This trial enrolled 309 patients, including 155 and 154 in the STDP and placebo groups, respectively. STDP significantly prolonged exercise duration with an increase of 51.0 s, compared to a decrease of 12.0 s with placebo (change rate: -11.1% vs. 3.2%, P<0.01). The increase in METs was significantly greater in the STDP group than in the placebo group (change: -0.4 vs. 0.0, change rate: -5.0% vs. 0.0%, P<0.01). The improvement of total angina symptom scores (25.0% vs. 0.0%), CM symptom scores (38.7% vs. 11.8%), reduction of nitroglycerin consumption (100.0% vs. 11.3%), and all domains of SAQ, were significantly greater with STDP than placebo (all P<0.01). The changes in Q-T intervals at 28 and 56 days from baseline were similar between the two groups (both P>0.05). Twenty-five participants (16.3%) with STDP and 16 (10.5%) with placebo experienced AEs (P=0.131), with no serious AEs observed. CONCLUSION STDP could improve exercise tolerance in patients with stable angina and phlegm-heat and blood stasis syndrome, with a favorable safety profile. (Registration No. ChiCTR-IPR-15006020).
