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.     

从湿热体质论治脂溢性脱发

中医对于脂溢性脱发，传统多按"血热风燥""血虚风燥""湿热""肝肾不足"等分型论治，虽能取得一定的临床疗效，暂时缓解病情，但难以根治，给患者带来困扰。倪诚教授根据国医大师王琦教授所提出的"肤-体相关论""体质可调论"，认为湿热体质是脂溢性脱发发病的主要土壤，指出瘀浊蛀发是脂溢性脱发的病机要点，治疗上以清利湿热调体治本、凉血活血为主、佐以滋养肝肾，方用茵陈蒿汤合升降散加减配合外洗经验方，从标本兼顾、分期论治、内服外洗等方面治疗脂溢性脱发，在临床上取得良好的疗效。     

乙肝孕妇血清标志物模式与HBV-DNA载量及肝功能关系研究

目的探讨乙肝孕妇血清标志物模式、HBV-DNA载量及肝功能三者之间的关系,为孕期乙肝病毒感染情况的监控和乙肝病毒母婴传播的预防提供参考。方法选取2019年1月-11月在我院产检的767例乙肝表面抗原阳性孕妇的乙肝血清标志物模式、肝功能指标的丙氨酸氨基转移酶(alamine aminotransferase,ALT)及HBVDNA载量进行研究,探讨三者间的关系。结果HBsAg、HBeAg、HBcAb阳性组孕妇HBV-DNA阳性率及病毒载量均高于其余两组(P<0.05);ALT升高程度与HBV-DNA载量具有一定相关性(r=0.255,χ^2=80.150,P=0.000);HBeAg阳性组和HBeAg阴性组间HBV-DNA阳性率、ALT异常率差异均有统计学意义。结论HBV-M、HBV-DNA与肝功能之间有一定的相关性,大三阳孕妇中高病毒载量比例高,应加强乙肝孕妇孕期各项指标的监测,必要时进行干预治疗。

吉西他滨联合西妥昔单抗对三阴乳腺癌细胞转移相关基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)活性的影响

目的：探讨吉西他滨联合西妥昔单抗对三阴乳腺癌细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭的影响，并对可能的机制进行初步的探究。方法：将实验分为西妥昔单抗组（150 μg · mL^-1）、吉西他滨联合用药组（西妥昔单抗150 μg · mL^-1，吉西他滨2.8 μg·mL^-1）。通过MTT、Transwell实验检测联合用药对MDA-MB-231细胞增殖、迁移、侵袭能力的影响，Western blotting实验检测合用药对MDA-MB-231细胞MMP-9、TIMP-1、p-IkB、NF-kB-p65表达水平的影响。结果：吉西他滨联合西妥昔单抗作用MDA-MB-231细胞后，其生长被不同程度的抑制，抑制率随吉西他滨浓度的增加而增高（P<0.05）；联合用药组MDA-MB-231细胞迁移、侵袭数目明显减少（P<0.05），同时MMP-9、p-IkB、NF-kB-p65的表达含量降低，TIMP-1表达含量增加。结论：吉西他滨联合西妥昔单抗对三阴乳腺癌细胞增殖、侵袭、迁移具有抑制作用，并明显抑制MMP-9的表达，其机制可能是通过抑制NF-kB通路实现。     

海水浸泡爆炸伤延期植皮最佳时机的研究

目的确定海水浸泡爆炸伤延期植皮的最佳时机。方法建立海水浸泡爆炸伤动物模型后，分别于0、3、7、14d切取创面组织作病理切片，镜下观察创面受床的病理改变；同期对创区实施植皮术，通过计算机全自动图像分析系统准确计算出各组的皮片成活率。结果分别于伤后0、3、7、14d，对皮肤缺损区施行植皮术，发现不同时机植皮成活率不同，伤后7d对海水浸泡爆炸伤皮肤缺损区植皮，皮片成活率最高。结论海水浸泡爆炸伤延期7d后植皮是对创面实施植皮术的最佳时机。
