Patient navigation across the cancer care continuum: An overview of systematic reviews and emerging literature

Patient navigation is a strategy for overcoming barriers to reduce disparities and to improve access and outcomes. The aim of this umbrella review was to identify, critically appraise, synthesize, and present the best available evidence to inform policy and planning regarding patient navigation across the cancer continuum. Systematic reviews examining navigation in cancer care were identified in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), Epistemonikos, and Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) databases and in the gray literature from January 1, 2012, to April 19, 2022. Data were screened, extracted, and appraised independently by two authors. The JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Systematic Review and Research Syntheses was used for quality appraisal. Emerging literature up to May 25, 2022, was also explored to capture primary research published beyond the coverage of included systematic reviews. Of the 2062 unique records identified, 61 systematic reviews were included. Fifty-four reviews were quantitative or mixed-methods reviews, reporting on the effectiveness of cancer patient navigation, including 12 reviews reporting costs or cost-effectiveness outcomes. Seven qualitative reviews explored navigation needs, barriers, and experiences. In addition, 53 primary studies published since 2021 were included. Patient navigation is effective in improving participation in cancer screening and reducing the time from screening to diagnosis and from diagnosis to treatment initiation. Emerging evidence suggests that patient navigation improves quality of life and patient satisfaction with care in the survivorship phase and reduces hospital readmission in the active treatment and survivorship care phases. Palliative care data were extremely limited. Economic evaluations from the United States suggest the potential cost-effectiveness of navigation in screening programs.

沙盘游戏疗法在肿瘤放疗患者中的应用

目的探讨沙盘游戏疗法对肿瘤放疗患者心理痛苦及生活质量的作用。方法采用便利抽样法,选取2019年1—12月于上海市质子重离子医院住院进行放疗的49例肿瘤患者为研究对象,采用分层随机分组方法,将患者随机分为对照组28例和试验组21例。对照组给予常规心理护理,试验组在此基础上给予沙盘游戏疗法。采用心理痛苦温度计和欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织生命质量核心量表中的5个功能维度比较两组患者干预前后的心理痛苦程度和生活质量水平。结果干预后,两组患者心理痛苦温度计得分均低于干预前,且试验组得分低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。干预前后试验组患者的躯体功能、角色功能、认知功能、情绪功能、社会功能维度得分下降程度均小于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。结论沙盘游戏疗法对肿瘤放疗患者的心理痛苦和生活质量有一定改善作用。     

A comparison of efficacy and safety of complementary and alternative therapies for severe mycoplasma pneumonia in children: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

Background:In recent years, the incidence rate of children with severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (SMPP) is increasing, which poses a great threat to children''s life and safety. There are some limitations in the existing drugs for the treatment of SMPP, and the supplementary and alternative therapy of SMPP plays an irreplaceable role in the treatment of this disease. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of various complementary and alternative therapies for SMPP by means of mesh meta-analysis. In order to provide the basis for clinical rational use.Methods:Two researchers will independently and comprehensively searched the Cochrane Central controlled trials registry, Cochrane Library, PubMed, web of science, EMBASE, CNKI, and Wanfang database to collect randomized controlled trials (RCT) studies on complementary and alternative therapies for SMPP. And the relevant references included in the systematic review/meta-analysis are screened. The retrieval time limit is from the establishment of the database to November 2020. We will use Revman 5.3 software for meta-analysis and use grade to grade the quality of evidence in the net meta-analysis (NMA).Results:The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of different complementary and alternative therapies in the treatment of SMPP, with a view to evaluating and ranking different interventions.Conclusion:The supplement and replacement therapy of SMPP can improve the clinical efficacy, relieve the clinical symptoms, improve the quality of life of children, and reduce adverse reactions, which can provide strong support for the rational use of clinicians.INPLASY registration number:INPLASY2020110079.     

钙离子通道蛋白TRPV6及其相关疾病的研究进展

瞬时受体电位亚家族V成员6 (Transient Receptor Potential Channel Subfamily V Member 6, TRPV6) 是一种钙离子高度选择性离子通道，在多种组织中均有表达，控制细胞顶端钙离子的进入，在维持钙稳态中发挥重要作用。TRPV6功能异常会影响体内钙稳态，进而引发新生儿骨骼发育异常、甲状旁腺功能亢进、骨与软骨代谢异常、肾结石和高尿钙症、 以及炎症性肠病和慢性胰腺炎等多种疾病。近年来研究也表明，TRPV6的上调与多种肿瘤的侵袭性增加有关，具有作为肿瘤检测的标志物以及治疗靶点的潜力。本综述将聚焦于TRPV6与其在相关疾病中发挥的作用，旨在为TRPV6作为药物靶点实现临床转化提供理论依据。
