Objective:To identify the core symptoms of prostate cancer patients with endocrine therapy by constructed the symptom network, and provide a basis for precise intervention of symptoms management.Methods:In a cross-sectional study, we conveniently sampled patients receiving endocrine therapy for prostate cancer at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center between March and August 2018. The Expanded Prostate cancer Index Composite 26-item version (EPIC-26) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used to assess symptoms.Symptom networks were constructed, and network indexes and the accuracy and stability of core symptoms were computed based on various packages of R4.3.1. Subgroup network comparison tests were conducted by Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, stratifying patients into PSA>0.2 ng/ml and PSA≤0.2 ng/ml groups.Results:A total of 270 questionnaires were distributed, and 261 valid questionnaires were returned, yielding a valid response rate of 96.7%. The included patients were aged 43 - 87(67.81 ± 8.14) years. Symptom network analysis revealed that the core symptom in patients undergoing endocrine therapy for prostate cancer was endocrine disorder ( rs = 1.86, rc = 0.048). However, in the population with PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/ml, depression ( rs = 1.80, rc = 0.028) occupied a more central position. There was no statistically significant difference in the network structure among patients with different PSA levels ( M = 0.294, P = 0.100). But the difference in network strength was statistically significant ( S = 1.15, P<0.05). The strongest associations were observed between depression and anxiety, as well as between endocrine disorder anddepression.The network demonstrated good stability and accuracy,indicating a reliable network model. Conclusions:Endocrine disorder is the core symptom in patients undergoing endocrine therapy for prostate cancer, serving as a critical target for intervention. Special attention should be given to the interconnected effects between endocrine disorder and depression. For the population with PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/ml, negative emotions such as depression still require ongoing focus. In the future, comprehensive interventions centered on psychological support and endocrine symptom management should be implemented for prostate cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy.

Objective:To retrieve and evaluate the best evidence on the nutrition management of patients with cancer-related sarcopenia at domestic and abroad, and summarize it, so as to provide a basis for medical staff to carry out relevant practices.Methods:Systematically search Chinese and English databases, guidelines, and academic websites such as China national knowledge infrastructure, Wanfang Database, PubMed, Web of Science, with evidence retrieval up to April 30, 2024. The evidence was summarized by 2 researchers.Results:A total of 13 articles were included: 3 guides, 5 expert consensus, 3 systematic evaluations, 2 evidence summaries. 21 pieces of evidence were summarized in 7 categories: establish diagnosis of sarcopenia, multidisciplinary team, nutrition support methods, nutrient selection, dynamic monitoring, related symptom management and outpatient nutrition management.Conclusions:The best evidence for nutritional management of patients with cancer related sarcopenia is rigorous and scientific. Medical staff can carefully select the best evidence based on specific clinical scenarios to formulate relevant management strategies, improve the nutritional status of patients.

Objective:To construct a self-management scheme for osteoporosis related to endocrine therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer, so as to provide a reference for clinical nursing intervention.Methods:In the chronic disease self-management domain theory as the instruction, using literature research, the semi-structured interview to build the first draft of the plan, through the expert meeting law to plan to revise the first draft, and form a self-management scheme for osteoporosis related to endocrine therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer.Results:A total of 10 experts were included, aged 37-47 (42.70 ± 3.43) years. The recovery rate of the expert questionnaire was 10/10, the expert authority coefficient was 0.93, and the coefficient of variation of each item ranged from 0.06 to 0.19. The final formed self-management scheme for osteoporosis related to endocrine therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer includes three intervention modules: self-prevention, self-monitoring, and self-coping. It encompasses six intervention themes: enhancing knowledge reserves, non-pharmacological prevention, pharmacological prevention, risk assessment and self-reporting of symptoms, non-pharmacological intervention, and pharmacological intervention.Conclusions:The construction of the self-management scheme for osteoporosis related to endocrine therapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer is of great significance. The content of the scheme is scientific, reliable and targeted, which can provide guidance for the self-management of osteoporosis in patients with early breast cancer during endocrine therapy.

Objective The development of the expert consensus on self-management of skin adverse reactions in patients undergoing targeted cancer therapy(hereinafter referred to as"the consensus")aims to enhance the effectiveness of self-management for skin-related adverse reactions in cancer patients receiving targeted therapy.It seeks to reduce the incidence of these reactions and alleviate their severity.Methods Utilizing evidence-based approaches,a systematic search was conducted across both domestic and international databases and relevant websites.This process included the evaluation and summarization of pertinent evidence to create a preliminary draft of the consensus.Through 2 rounds of Delphi expert inquiries and a round of expert panel discussion,the content was refined,leading to the final draft of the consensus.Results The consensus comprises 11 sections:gathering information before medication,identifying risk factors prior to medication,self-assessment and proactive reporting,skin cleansing,skin moisturizing,sun protection,makeup application,appropriate clothing,engaging in household activities,prophylactic medication,and common management techniques.Conclusion This consensus provides a valuable reference for clinical nurses to guide cancer patients in the self-management of skin adverse reactions associated with targeted drug therapy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of pacing in different parts of the ventricle on left ven-tricular mechanical asynchrony using myocardial metabolic imaging.Methods A total of 56 elderly patients undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation in our hospital from January to November 2023 were recruited and randomly divided into left bundle branch pacing(LBBAP)group and right ventricular pacing(RVP)group,with 28 patients in each group.Another 28 elderly patients who did not undergo pacemaker implantation surgery were selected as the control group.Within 1 week after pacemaker implantation,18F fluorodeoxyglucose(18F-FDG)positron emission tomo-graphy(PET)/CT myocardial metabolism imaging was performed to analyze PET myocardial metabolism images and evaluate left ventricular mechanical synchrony.Results The LVEF was significantly higher in the control group than the LBBAP group and RVP group[(67.68±9.61)%vs(62.71±11.33)%vs(57.36±16.07)%,P=0.012],but no such difference was seen between the LBBAP group and the RVAP group(P>0.05).The LBBAP group had obviously lower pat-tern standard deviation(PSD),phase histogram bandwidth(PHBW),entropy,summed motion score(SMS),summed thickening score(STS),extent of abnormal motion(Mot Ext)and thicken-ing extent(Thk Ext)when compared with the RVP group(P<0.01).There were no statistical significant differences in the terms of PSD,PHBW,Entropy,SMS,STS,Mot Ext,and Thk Ext between the LBBAP group and the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT myo-cardial metabolic imaging can be used to evaluate left ventricular mechanical synchrony in pacing different parts of the ventricle,and LBBAP can obtain better left ventricular synchrony parame-ters than RVP,similar to the control group.
