ObjectTo explore the risk factors related to the intensity of post-stroke depression in patients with cerebral infarction during hospitalization in the rehabilitation department. MethodsThe hospital consultation records of cerebral infarction patients in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital from December, 2019 to February, 2023 were reviewed from the hospital information system, and those who were diagnosed as depression visited the department of psychology were selected. It was collected including general information of sexes, ages, education levels, matrimony; medical features of course, location, affected side, sensory disorders, aphasia, agrypnia, dysphagia, hand-shoulder syndrome, constipation; functioning of muscle strength and Brunnstrom stages; and scores of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Balance (FMA-B), modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Patients with HAMD scores ≤ 20 were as the low group, and those > 20 were as the high group. ResultA total of 2 403 hospitalized stroke patients were included, out of which 269 patients with cerebral infarction were diagnosed as depression and visited the department of psychology; while 103 cases were in the low group and 166 cases were in the high group. The incidence of constipation was less, and the incidence of dysphagia and shoulder-hand syndrome was higher in the high group (χ2 > 5.379, P < 0.05), with weaker strength of iliopsoas muscle and quadriceps muscle, earlier of Brunnstrom stage of lower extremities and hands, and worse scores of NIHSS, MMSE, FMA, FMA-B and MBI (|Z| > 2.020, t > 2.171, P < 0.05). Logistic regression showed that constipation (OR = 0.435), quadriceps muscle strength (OR = 0.782) and dysphagia (OR = 2.602) related to the intensity of post-stroke depression in convalescent patients (P < 0.05). ConclusionPost-stroke dysphagia and poor quadriceps muscle strength may exacerbate post-stroke depression; however, constipation may not.

Objective To study the effect of formononetin on the cell damage of glucose/oxygen deprivation/reoxy-genation glyconeurons via the PARP1 signaling pathway,and to offer theoretical support for the use of Caragana isoflavones in the treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods In mouse neurons(HT22),a model of Oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)was created.Western blot was used to detect the expres-sion of PARP1 and PARG in HT22 neurons at various time points of glucose-oxygen deprivation/reoxygenation,and the optimal time point of pathway modification was chosen.After OGD/R,HT22 cells were treated with form-ononetin,PARP1 inhibitor(PJ34),and PARG inhibitor,and six groups were developed:control group,control group+formononetin group,OGD/R group,OGD/R+formononetin group,OGD/R+PJ34 group,OGD/R+PARG inhibitor group.HT22 cells were grown normally without OGD/R therapy in the control group.The expres-sion levels of apoptotic factors and associated proteins in each group were determined using immunofluorescence and Western blot.Results PARP1 pathway was activated most obviously in HT22 cells after 3 hours of glucose and ox-ygen deprivation/reoxygenation.Under the condition of OGD/R 3 h,treatment with formononetin,PJ34 or PARG inhibitor could increase E3 ubiquitin ligase(Iduna),inhibit the expression of PARP1 and PARG pathway proteins,reduce the expression of AIF and P53,and increase the phosphorylation level of AKT protein.Conclusion Form-ononetin can block the PARP1/AIF/Akt signaling pathway by raising the expression of Iduna protein in the pres-ence of OGD/R,hence decreasing the damage to HT22 mouse neurons.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the development and current status of medication education in domestic medical institutions, aiming to provide reference and suggestions for better development of medication education. METHODS The online questionnaire survey was conducted in March 2023 to investigate the implementation of medication education in medical institutions at all levels nationwide; descriptive analysis and influencing factors analysis were conducted. RESULTS A total of 1 368 questionnaires were recycled, 1 304 of which were effective questionnaires, with the effective rate of 95.32%. The average rate of providing medication education was 73.62% in medical institutions nationwide, 76.05%, 67.68% and 73.76% respectively in Eastern, Central and Western regions, 87.11%, 60.57% and 46.32% respectively in tertiary, secondary and primary medical institutions. The commonest place and way of carrying out medication education were dispensing window and oral instructions, and both were more diverse in tertiary medical institutions, compared with second and primary medical institutions. The median annual service volume of medication education in medical institutions PUMCH-A- at all levels was 500 people; the higher the level of medical institutions, the larger the annual service volume of medication education (P=0.023). More than half of medical institutions didn’t have any form of compensation for medication education, which was mostly reflected in the workload of medical institutions with compensation. Grade of medical institutions, degree of information and automation were the major influencing factors of carrying out medication education. CONCLUSIONS The ratio of carrying out medication education is improved in the central region in China in recent years, compared with 2019; while that of primary institutions in all regions is at a low level and should be improved. The place of carrying out medication education should be set according to the characteristics of medical institutions, and medication education forms should be enriched as much as possible. The quantity and quality of medication education talents still need to be improved. Compensation for pharmaceutical care should be continually explored and implemented to prompt high-quality and sustainable development of medication education.

Objective:To consolidate the current evidences regarding the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in age-related sarcopenia.Methods:In this systemic review, a comprehensive literature search of scientific research including journal articles and academic dissertations was performed in prominent databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Database platforms, spanning from January 31, 2014 to January 31, 2024. Two search protocols integrating keywords and citation tracking were adopted to ensure comprehensiveness of the literature. Using “vitamin D” “ergocalciferols” “cholecalciferol” “sarcopenia” “muscle mass” “muscle strength” “myopenia” “muscle loss” “muscle reduction” “gait speed” “grip strength” “handgrip” as the main key words, focusing on the systematic reviews, meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCT), and individual RCT, the scientific evidence of individual vitamin D intervention on age-related sarcopenia was evaluated and summarized. Research concerning particular disease conditions, children and adolescents, menopausal women, athletes and other specific populations were excluded.Results:A initial search yielded 2 448 articles in Chinese or English. A total of 8 systemic reviews/meta-analysis and 22 individual RCT literatures were included in the final analysis. Although some earlier lower-quality studies reported subtle improvements in skeletal muscle strength with vitamin D supplementation, high-quality systematic reviews/meta-analysis over the past three years had not shown significant positive effects of vitamin D intervention on sarcopenia and its breakdown parameters, such as skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle function. Furthermore, the efficiency was influenced to some extent by the participants′ baseline status, such as muscle health and vitamin D nutritional status.Conclusions:Present evidence does not robustly support the efficacy of sole vitamin D supplement on age-related sarcopenia. High-quality clinical trials are imperative to accumulate more robust evidence in the future.

Objective:
QL1604 is a highly selective, humanized monoclonal antibody against programmed death protein 1. We assessed the efficacy and safety of QL1604 plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with advanced cervical cancer.
Methods:
This was a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II study. Patients with advanced cervical cancer and not previously treated with systemic chemotherapy were enrolled to receive QL1604 plus paclitaxel and cisplatin/carboplatin on day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to 6 cycles, followed by QL1604 maintenance treatment.
Results:
Forty-six patients were enrolled and the median follow-up duration was 16.5 months. An 84.8% of patients had recurrent disease and 13.0% had stage IVB disease. The objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Advanced Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 was 58.7% (27/46). The immune ORR per immune RECIST was 60.9% (28/46).The median duration of response was 9.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI]=5.5–not estimable). The median progression-free survival was 8.1 months (95% CI=5.7–14.0). Fortyfive (97.8%) patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). The most common grade≥3 TRAEs (>30%) were neutrophil count decrease (50.0%), anemia (32.6%), and white blood cell count decrease (30.4%).
Conclusion
QL1604 plus paclitaxel-cisplatin/carboplatin showed promising antitumor activity and manageable safety profile as first-line treatment in patients with advanced cervical cancer. Programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy may be a potential treatment option for the patient population who have contraindications or can’t tolerate bevacizumab, which needs to be further verified in phase III confirmatory study.
