Objective:To evaluate the effect of different psychosocial interventions on fertility concerns in cancer patients using network Meta-analysis.Methods:Randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental studies on the effects of different psychosocial interventions on fertility concerns in cancer patients were electronically searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science and PsycINFO. The search period was from database establishment to October 31, 2024. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and data extraction. Conventional Meta-analysis of the included literature was performed using RevMan 5.4, and network Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 18.0.Results:A total of 10 studies involving 835 cancer patients and seven psychosocial interventions were included. Network Meta-analysis showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the intervention effect of fertility counseling ( MD=18.24, 95% CI: 2.85-33.62, P<0.05) and mental awareness training ( MD=17.97, 95% CI: 3.09-32.85, P<0.05) on fertility concerns in cancer patients as compared to routine nursing. The ranked probability plot showed that fertility counseling and mental awareness training had superior results. Conclusions:Fertility counseling has a superior effect on fertility concerns in cancer patients. Mental awareness training may be effective in improving fertility concerns in cancer patients, and further research is needed to validate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy, dyadic coping interventions, and educational interventions in improving fertility concerns in cancer patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rongjin Tongbi decoction on sciatica caused by lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with liver and kidney deficiency type based on a randomized controlled study. MethodFrom January 2019 to July 2022， 90 patients in the department of Traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital who met the inclusion criteria were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table， with 45 patients in each group. During the study， 19 cases dropped out， with 41 cases included in the final observation group and 30 cases in the control group. The observation group was given Rongjin Tongbi decoction orally， and the control group was given Loxoprofen Sodium Tablets orally for 28 days. The differences in the visual analog scale （VAS） scores， the Japanese Orthopaedic Association （JOA） scores， activities of daily living （ADL） assessments， TCM clinical symptoms， subjective symptoms， and clinical signs scores between two groups before and after treatment were observed. Liver and kidney functions and gastrointestinal adverse reactions were detected for safety evaluation. ResultBefore treatment， there was no statistically significant difference in scores between the observation group and the control group. After treatment， the absolute values of the differences in VAS and ADL scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group （P<0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the absolute value of the difference in JOA scores between two groups. The absolute value of the difference in TCM clinical symptom scores in the observation group was higher than that in the control group （P<0.01）. There was no statistically significant difference in the absolute values of the differences in subjective symptom and clinical sign scores between two groups. The levels of liver and kidney function indicators in both groups before and after the experiment were normal， and there was no significant difference in gastrointestinal reactions. ConclusionRongjin Tongbi decoction can significantly improve the symptoms of sciatica patients caused by lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with liver and kidney deficiency type. After treatment， the patients exhibited significant improvements in pain， activity and other aspects， and it is proven to be safe and reliable， which is conducive to the recovery of physical function.
