ObjectiveTo establish the self-reported core outcome set (COS) for patients with an example of a community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion for primary hypertension (PH), to provide a reference for the selection of effectiveness evaluation indicators in community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion. MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted to collect outcomes used in randomized controlled trials and systematic review of heat-sensitive moxibustion for PH (Jan 2021), and additional outcomes were added through patient and expert questionnaires (Feb 2021) to create a pool of outcome entries. A multidisciplinary expert Delphi survey was conducted to screen outcomes applicable to patient self-reporting (Apr 2021), and the importance of outcome indicators was rated on a 5-Point Likert Scale. Finally, patient self-reported COS was determined through a consensus conference (June 2021). ResultsA pool of patient self-reported indicators in the community study of heat-sensitive moxibustion treatment for PH was generated by standardizing and combining the outcome indicators based on the results of the literature search and the questionnaire survey, which consisted of totally 100 measurement tools or contents, excluding 51 indicators or measurement tools required measurement by specialized physicians or hospital equipment, and 49 items were retained to enter the initial list of indicator entries. For the first round of Delphi survey, the mean score for expert familiarity was 0.819, the mean score for basis of judgment was 0.710, and the expert authority coefficient was 0.765, with a total of 21 indicator measurement tools or contents deleted (significance score ≤ 75 or coefficient of variation > 0.25), 28 retained, and 3 new expert-added indicator entries added. In the second round of Delphi survey, the average score for expert familiarity was 0.859, the average score for basis for judgment was 0.763, and the expert authority coefficient was 0.811, with a total of 11 indicator measurement tools or contents deleted and 20 retained involving 5 domains. Following an expert consensus meeting, 8 outcome indicators were finalized for inclusion in the patient self-reported COS, including 6 indicators of effectiveness evaluation such as quality-of-life scores, blood pressure, traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores, cost-benefit, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, and adverse reactions/events, and 2 indicators of factors influencing effectiveness such as sensation of heat-sensitive moxibustion, and adherence. ConclusionIn this study, we initially established a criteria for evaluating the effectiveness in the community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion by constructing patient self-reported COS in the community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion for PH, which can provide a scientific research paradigm for the subsequent development of the community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion.

[Objective] :
To systematically evaluate the overall efficacy of external application of traditional Chinese medicine (EA-TCM) in combination with oral three-step analgesic ladder therapy for patients suffering from cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP).
[Methods] :
We conducted a literature search of randomized controlled trials on the combination of EA-TCM and three-step analgesic ladder therapy for CIBP across ten databases and two registration systems. It included four Chinese databases [Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (SinoMed), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, and China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP) ], six English databases (Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and OpenGrey), and two registration systems (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry and ClinicalTrials.gov). The timeframe for the literature search extended from the inception of each database to December 31, 2023. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan (v5.4.1), and the outcome indicators (pain relief rate, analgesic duration, quality of life, pain intensity, breakthrough pain frequency, and adverse reactions) were graded using GRADE profiler (v3.6).
[Results] :
According to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 43 studies was deemed eligible, involving 3 142 participants with CIBP. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with oral three-step analgesic ladder therapy alone, the combined therapy of EA-TCM and three-step analgesic ladder has a significant improvement in pain relief rate [risk ratio (RR) = 1.32, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24 to 1.41, P < 0.000 01], analgesic duration [mean difference (MD) = 1.33, 95% CI: 0.97 to 1.69, P < 0.000 01], and quality of life (MD = 5.66, 95% CI: 4.88 to 6.44, P < 0.000 01). Furthermore, the combined therapy significantly reduced pain intensity (MD = – 1.00, 95% CI: – 1.19 to – 0.80, P < 0.000 01), breakthrough pain frequency (MD = – 0.43, 95% CI: – 0.51 to – 0.36, P < 0.000 01), and adverse reactions (RR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.53 to 0.68, P < 0.000 01) in CIBP patients. Based on the GRADE assessment, the level of evidence varied from low to moderate.
[Conclusion]
EA-TCM combined with the three-step analgesic ladder therapy can effectively alleviate pain symptoms in patients with CIBP and improve their quality of life. Additionally, the EA-TCM can effectively reduce the incidence of adverse reactions associated with three-step analgesic therapy.

ObjectiveTo detect the flexibility differences of Plasmodium berghei K173 (PbK173)-infected red blood cells with varying degrees of sensitivity to artemisinin-based drugs and to preliminarily explore the underlying mechanisms of the differences. MethodA total of 102 specific-pathogen-free (SPF) male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups, with 30 mice each in the control group and PbK173-resistant (PbK173-R) group, and 42 mice in the PbK173-sensitive (PbK173-S) group. Except for the control group, the rest groups were vaccinated with 1×107 PbK173-S/PbK173-R infected red blood cells to establish a mouse malaria model. During the administration and recovery periods (control group, PbK173-R/PbK173-S), dihydroartemisinin (DHA, 40 mg·kg-1) and malaridine (MD, 6 mg·kg-1) were administered continuously for four days. Peripheral blood was taken from the PbK173-S/PbK173-R groups with an infection rate equal to or greater than 20%. Peripheral blood and each organ were taken on the first day at the end of administration (dosing period) and on the fifth day at the end of administration (recovery period), and blood parameters and organ indices of each group were examined. The osmotic fragility of peripheral blood red blood cells in each group was detected using the red blood cell osmotic fragility test. Western blot was applied to determine the levels of Piezo1 and Band3 proteins in the red blood cell membrane. ResultDuring the administration and recovery periods, there were no significant differences between the PbK173-S MD group and the DHA group. During the administration period, there were no significant differences in hematological parameters between PbK173-S and PbK173-R in the MD group. However, during the recovery period, the red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit of the PbK173-R group were significantly higher than those of the PbK173-S group (P<0.05) in the MD group. Compared with that of the control group, the osmotic fragility of the PbK173-S/PbK173-R groups was significantly enhanced (P<0.01), and the osmotic fragility of the PbK173-S group was significantly stronger than that of the PbK173-R group (P<0.01). The osmotic fragility of red blood cells in the PbK173-S group during the administration period was significantly stronger than that in the control group and PbK173-R group during the administration period (P<0.01). The osmotic fragility of red blood cells in the PbK173-R group during the recovery period was significantly higher than that in the control group during the administration period and the PbK173-S group during the recovery period (P<0.05). Compared with those in the control group, the Piezo1 protein and Band3 protein in the red blood cell membrane of the PbK173-S group were significantly reduced (P<0.01). Compared with those in the PbK173-R group, the Piezo1 protein and Band 3 protein in the red blood cell membrane of the PbK173-S group were significantly reduced. ConclusionThe flexibility of PbK173-infected red blood cells with different sensitivities to artemisinins differed. Plasmodium-infected red blood cells significantly reduced the levels of Piezo1 and Band3 proteins in the red blood cell membrane, and the erythrocyte flexibility exhibited a decreasing trend in the following order: normal group, PbK173-R group, and PbK173-S group.

The life view of "human life is the most important" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) originates from the people-oriented theory of Chinese traditional culture, the benevolence thought of Confucianism, the rebirth thought of Taoism and the compassion thought of Buddhism. Taking the life view of "human life is the most important" as the starting point, it has formed medical ethics thoughts such as the social responsibility of saving the world, the medical practice purpose of treating all patients equally, the meticulous working attitude, the diligent and tireless learning attitude, and the exploration spirit of widely exploring the medical roots, which still has important educational significance. Therefore, the life view of "human life is the most important" should be integrated into the medical ethics education of medical students, and the medical ethics literacy of medical students should be improved through the following ways: strengthen the vocational ideal education of saving the dying and healing the wounded, and enhance the sense of social responsibility of medical students; consolidate the theme of life first classroom education and improve the professional identity of medical students; enrich and innovate the practice forms of protecting life, pay attention to the practicality of medical ethics education.

β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) agonists are widely used as first-line drugs in the treatment of bronchial asthma (hereinafter referred to as “asthma”), but long-term use can lead to β2-AR desensitization and reduce its clinical efficacy, resulting in poor symptom control of some asthma patients. The mechanism of β2-AR desensitization induced by β2-AR agonists mainly includes slow hyposensitization (related to the decrease of β2-AR density in airway mucosa) and rapid hyposensitization (related to the mechanism of stimulatory G protein decoupling). Cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)-protein kinase A and cAMP- exchange protein activated by cAMP signaling pathways are closely related to β2-AR desensitization. Glucocorticoids, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma agonists, ASM-024, Chinese medicine monotherapies and formulations, when combined with β2-AR agonists, can improve the sensitivity of β2-AR, so as to better control asthma symptoms.
