OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of belimumab in the treatment of lupus nephritis (LN) in Chinese adult patients. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Wanfang data, CNKI, VIP and CBM, real-world studies on belimumab in the treatment of LN in Chinese adult patients were collected from the inception to July 7th, 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 10 real- world studies were included, involving 253 Chinese adult patients with LN. The results of the meta-analysis demonstrated that the complete renal response rate, partial renal response rate, and the incidence of adverse reaction rate in Chinese adult patients with LN treated with belimumab were 61% (95%CI was 46%-76%, P<0.000 01), 23%(95%CI was 2%-44%, P=0.03), and 30% (95%CI was 16%-43%, P<0.000 01), respectively. Belimumab could reduce the 24-hour urinary protein (MD=-1.71, 95%CI was -3.02--0.40, P=0.01), urine protein-creatinine ratio (MD=-1.76,95%CI was -2.06--1.46,P<0.000 01), the systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (MD=-8.63, 95%CI was -12.12--5.13, P<0.000 01), and glucocorticoids dosage (MD=-18.65, 95%CI was -31.82--5.48, P=0.006). In addition, it could elevate the levels of complement C3 (MD=0.19, 95%CI was 0.08-0.30, P=0.000 6) and complement C4 (MD=0.06, 95%CI was 0.02-0.09, P=0.001). However, belimumab could not improve the levels of serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Belimumab has good efficacy and safety in Chinese adult patients with LN.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the lung allocation score (LAS) and the risk of early death and complications in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) after lung transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 275 patients with IPF were retrospectively analyzed. The correlation between LAS and the risk of early death in IPF patients after lung transplantation and the correlation between LAS and complications at postoperative 1 year was assessed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Results Among 275 recipients, 62, 83, 95 and 108 cases died within postoperative 30, 90, 180 and 365 d, respectively. LAS was correlated with 30-, 90-, 180- and 365-d fatality of IPF patients (all P<0.05), whereas it was not correlated with the incidence of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) at 365 d after lung transplantation (both P>0.05). Conclusions LAS is correlated with the risk of early death of IPF patients after lung transplantation. While, it is not correlated the incidence of PGD and AKI early after lung transplantation. Special attention should be paid to the effect of comprehensive factors upon PGD and AKI.

Intelligent control systems can effectively assist in the construction and management of laboratory animal facilities, improving operational efficiency, ensuring the reliability of animal experimental results, and significantly saving human resources. The intelligent control system for laboratory animal facilities at Shenzhen Institute for Drug Control was completed in April 2021. It includes an intelligent management platform and an information management system for animal laboratories. The intelligent management platform regulates room environment parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure through building equipment management system, controlling devices such as the Venturi valve, electric air valve, electric water valve, and steam humidification valve. At the same time, various environmental parameters are monitored online through the environmental monitoring system. The laboratory’s intelligence is further enhanced by systems such as automatic lighting control, full HD video monitoring, automatic access control and door system, independent ventilation and feeding, automatic cleaning, automatic exhaust gas treatment, centralized gas supply, and real-time instrument parameter monitoring. The information management system for animal laboratories integrates inspection, instrument and equipment, personnel, documents, standard substances, reagents, inspection standards, books, records, scientific research management, relevant applications, quality management, and query statistics. For animal experimentation, a management module has been developed to achieve a comprehensive digitization of animal management. Furthermore, real-time collection and recording of data such as balance calibration, sample quality, and animal weight are facilitated through electronic experimental recording. In summary, the Animal Laboratory of Shenzhen Institute for Drug Control has extensively utilized intelligent systems to achieve real-time online control and monitoring, improve efficiency, ensure high-quality facility operation, and meet standard requirements. Smooth execution of all inspection and research activities has been achieved over the past three years. This paper provides insights into the construction, management, and operation of laboratory animal facilities at Shenzhen Institute for Drug Control, offering guidance for the implementation of intelligent control in similar facilities across China.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of illness perception in the relationship between fear of disease progression and sleep quality in patients with ovarian cancer during chemotherapy, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving sleep quality in patients with ovarian cancer during chemotherapy.Methods:From January to August 2022, 300 patients with ovarian cancer undergoing chemotherapy in Shandong First Medical University Affiliated Provincial Hospital, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, Shandong Cancer Hospital were included by convenient sampling. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey included the Chinese version of the Fear of Progression Questionnaire Short Form for cancer patients, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Bivariate factor analysis, Spearman correlation analysis, and the Bootstrap confidence interval evaluation method were used.Results:A total of 287 valid questionnaires were collected. The scores of fear disease progression, illness perception, and sleep quality were 30.00 (22.00, 36.00), 37.00 (32.00, 44.00), and 6.00 (3.00, 11.00), respectively. Sleep quality was positively correlated with fear disease progression ( r=0.250, P<0.001) and illness perception ( r=0.326, P<0.001). Illness perception played a partial mediating role in the relationship between fear of disease progression and sleep quality, accounting for 41.4% of the total effect. Conclusions:Ovarian cancer patients during chemotherapy reported poor sleep quality. In clinical practice, health care providers including nurses can take interventions aimed at reducing fear of disease and improving illness perception level to improve the sleep quality of ovarian cancer patients during chemotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the effect of high-intensity interval training on cognitive weakness in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.Methods:A randomized controlled study was used. A total of 70 elderly patients with coronary heart disease after discharge from the Cardiology Department, Ruikang Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine from June 2020 to June 2021 were selected and divided into the control group (35 cases) and the observation group (35 cases) by random digits table method. The control group received conventional treatment, and the observation group received high-intensity interval training on the basis of conventional treatment. The changes of peak oxygen intake (PeakVO 2), anaerobic threshold oxygen uptake (ATVO 2), Fried phenotype score, Montreal Cognitive Assessment score, and SF-36 quality of life assessment score before and after 12 weeks of intervention were compared between the two groups. Results:During the intervention, 2 cases fell off in the control group and 2 cases in the observation group. After 12 weeks of intervention, PeakVO 2 and ATVO 2 in the observation group were (23.91 ± 5.88), (20.79 ± 5.19) ml·min -1·kg -1, respectively, higher than those in the control group(20.56 ± 5.81), (17.29 ± 5.36) ml·min -1·kg -1, and the differences were statistically significant ( t = 2.38, 2.69, both P<0.05). The scores of SF-36 quality of life assessment and Montreal Cognitive Assessment in the observation group were (85.33 ± 6.43), (22.64 ± 3.81) points, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (78.72 ± 8.14), (20.67 ± 3.04) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t = 3.66, 2.32, both P<0.05); the Fried phenotype score in the observation group was (1.36 ± 0.99) points, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (3.03 ± 1.08) points, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 6.54, P<0.05). Conclusions:High-intensity interval training can improve cardiopulmonary function, aerobic exercise ability, cognitive weakness and quality of life in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.

Objective:
Subthreshold attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been suggested to be a “morbid condition” which also needs medical attention.
Methods:
The present study recruited 89 children with subthreshold ADHD (sADHD), 115 children with diagnosed ADHD (cADHD), and 79 healthy controls (HC) to explore the clinical manifestation, executive functions (EFs) of sADHD, and the caregiver strain. The clinical manifestation was evaluated through clinical interviews and parent-reports. Executive functions were assessed both experimentally and ecologically. Caregiver strain was measured by a parent-reported questionnaire.
Results:
For the clinical manifestation, both sADHD and cADHD indicated impairments when compared with HC. The comorbidities and the scaled symptoms indicated that the externalizing behaviors were relatively less serious in sADHD than cADHD, whereas the internalizing behaviors between two groups were comparable. For ecological EFs, sADHD scored between cADHD and HC in inhibition and working memory. For experimental EFs, sADHD was comparable to cADHD in inhibition, shifting, and was worse than cADHD in verbal working memory. For the caregiver strain, all scores of sADHD were between that in cADHD and that in HC.
Conclusion
Our present findings supported the suggestion of subthreshold ADHD as “morbid condition,” which should be treated with caution in clinical practice, especially for the internalizing behaviors and some key components of EFs.
