What enlightenment has the development of lung cancer bone metastasis brought in the last 22 years

BACKGROUND

Lung cancer bone metastasis (LCBM) is a disease with a poor prognosis, high risk and large patient population. Although considerable scientific output has accumulated on LCBM, problems have emerged, such as confusing research structures.

AIM

To organize the research frontiers and body of knowledge of the studies on LCBM from the last 22 years according to their basic research and translation, clinical treatment, and clinical diagnosis to provide a reference for the development of new LCBM clinical and basic research.

METHODS

We used tools, including R, VOSviewer and CiteSpace software, to measure and visualize the keywords and other metrics of 1903 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection. We also performed enrichment and protein-protein interaction analyses of gene expression datasets from LCBM cases worldwide.

RESULTS

Research on LCBM has received extensive attention from scholars worldwide over the last 20 years. Targeted therapies and immunotherapies have evolved into the mainstream basic and clinical research directions. The basic aspects of drug resistance mechanisms and parathyroid hormone-related protein may provide new ideas for mechanistic study and improvements in LCBM prognosis. The produced molecular map showed that ribosomes and focal adhesion are possible pathways that promote LCBM occurrence.

CONCLUSION

Novel therapies for LCBM face animal testing and drug resistance issues. Future focus should centre on advancing clinical therapies and researching drug resistance mechanisms and ribosome-related pathways.

Effectiveness of mobile health applications on clinical outcomes and health behaviors in patients with coronary heart disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Objective

Mobile health applications (apps) have gained significant popularity and widespread utilization among patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of mHealth apps on clinical outcomes and health behaviors in patients with CHD.

Methods

Databases were searched from inception until December 2023, including Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese BioMedical Literature Service System (SinoMed), Wanfang Data, China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding the effectiveness of mHealth apps in patients with CHD. Two researchers conducted a comprehensive review of the literature, extracting relevant data and evaluating each study's methodological quality separately. The meta-analysis was performed utilizing Review Manager v5.4 software.

Results

A total of 34 RCTs were included, with 5,319 participants. The findings demonstrated that using mHealth apps could decrease the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (RR = 0.68, P = 0.03), readmission rate (RR = 0.56, P < 0.001), total cholesterol (WMD = -0.19, P = 0.03), total triglycerides (WMD = -0.24, P < 0.001), waist circumference (WMD = -1.92, P = 0.01), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale score (WMD = -6.70, P < 0.001), and Self-Rating Depression Scale score (WMD = -7.87, P < 0.001). They can also increase the LVEF (WMD = 6.50, P < 0.001), VO2 max (WMD = 1.89, P < 0.001), 6-min walk distance (6MWD) (WMD = 19.43, P = 0.004), Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 score (WMD = 0.96, P = 0.004), and medication adherence rate (RR = 1.24, P = 0.03). Nevertheless, there is no proof that mHealth apps can lower low-density lipoprote in cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, or other indicator (P > 0.05).

Conclusion

Mobile health apps have the potential to lower the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), readmission rates, and blood lipids in patients with CHD. They can also help enhance cardiac function, promote medication adherence, and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. To further corroborate these results, larger-scale, multi-center RCTs with longer follow-up periods are needed.

Visual analysis of bone malignancies immunotherapy: A bibliometric analysis from 2010 to 2023

BACKGROUND

Bone malignancies (BM), including osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and chordoma, are characterized by high rates of recurrence and mortality, despite the availability of diverse treatment approaches. Immunotherapy has gained increasing importance in cancer treatment. However, there is a lack of comprehensive studies that utilize bibliometric analysis to explore immunotherapy for BM.

METHODS

A literature search of English studies on BM and immunotherapy from 2010 to 2023 was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection database. Bibliometric analysis tools such as VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R Studio were utilized to examine global trends and research hotspots in this field.

RESULTS

A total of 719 eligible articles, including 528 original research articles and 191 reviews, were analyzed. The number of publications has shown an increasing trend over the past 14 years, particularly in the last 5 years. The majority of the published articles on this topic originated from China (284 articles), followed by the United States and Japan. The institution with the highest number of publications and citations was the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (30 articles; 1638 citations). Dean A. Lee (12 articles) and Richard Gorlick (576 citations) were the authors with the highest contribution in terms of article count and citation count, respectively. Among these journals, Frontiers in Oncology had the highest number of articles (39 articles), while the Journal of Clinical Oncology had the highest number of citations (1878 citations). Additionally, there has been a shift in the keywords from "antitumor activity" and "NK cells" to popular topics such as "PD-L1," "open label," and "single arm."

CONCLUSION

A better understanding of the current status and prospects of immunotherapy for BM is crucial for the rationale selection of appropriate BM patients for immunotherapy. This study is expected to help clinical physicians and researchers gain comprehensive insights into the developmental trends of BM immunotherapy, providing practical guidance for the application of immunotherapy in BM patients.

Sestrin2 levels in patients with anxiety and depression myocardial infarction was up-regulated and suppressed inflammation and ferroptosis by LKB1-mediated AMPK activation

Although great progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in recent years, its morbidity and mortality are still relatively high. In this study, we explain that the function of Sestrin2 gene in Anxiety and Depression Myocardial infarction and its possible mechanism. 26 patients with Anxiety and Depression Myocardial infarction (ADMI) and 26 normal volunteers were collected from our hospital. All mice anaesthetized using 50 mg/kg of pentobarbital sodium and the left anterior descending arteries (LAD) were ligated to induce myocardial infarction. H9c2 cells were stimulated with 5% oxygen (O2) and 5% carbon dioxide (CO2) and 90% N2 for 24 h. The serum expression of Sestrin2 in patients with ADMI was up-regulated. Sestrin2 gene up-regulation reduced collagen I/II and KEAP1 mRNA expressions, and increased GPX4 and Nrf2 mRNA expressions in vitro model of AMI. Down-regulation of Sestrin2 increased collagen I/II and KEAP1 mRNA expressions, and decreased GPX4 and Nrf2 mRNA expressions in vitro model of AMI. These data confirmed that Sestrin2 reduced inflammation and ferroptosis in model of ADMI by LKB1-mediated AMPK activation. This infers that Sestrin2 is potential target to be used in the treatment of premature AMI.

What should be the future direction of development in the field of prostate cancer with lung metastasis?

BACKGROUND

Since the start of the 21st century, prostate cancer with lung metastasis (PCLM) has accumulated significant scientific research output. However, a systematic knowledge framework for PCLM is still lacking.

AIM

To reconstruct the global knowledge system in the field of PCLM, sort out hot research directions, and provide reference for the clinical and mechanism research of PCLM.

METHODS

We retrieved 280 high-quality papers from the Web of Science Core Collection and conducted a bibliometric analysis of keywords, publication volume, and citation frequency. Additionally, we selected differentially expressed genes from global high-throughput datasets and performed enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction analysis to further summarize and explore the mechanisms of PCLM.

RESULTS

PCLM has received extensive attention over the past 22 years, but there is an uneven spatial distribution in PCLM research. In the clinical aspect, the treatment of PCLM is mainly based on chemotherapy and immunotherapy, while diagnosis relies on methods such as prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography. In the basic research aspect, the focus is on cell adhesion molecules and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, among others. Traditional treatments, such as chemotherapy, remain the mainstay of PCLM treatment, while novel approaches such as immunotherapy have limited effectiveness in PCLM. This study reveals for the first time that pathways related to coronavirus disease 2019, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and ribosome are closely associated with PCLM.

CONCLUSION

Future research should focus on exploring and enhancing mechanisms such as cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and ribosome and improve existing mechanisms like cadherin binding and cell adhesion molecules.

Sleep disturbances are associated with anxiety, depression, and decreased quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease

BACKGROUND

Studies have shown that sleep disorders are closely related to anxiety and depression, and the quality of life (QoL) of patients with sleep disorders is generally poor.

AIM

To examine the occurrence of sleep disorders in people with coronary heart disease (CHD) and their relationships with QoL, depression, and anxiety.

METHODS

As per the sleep condition, 240 CHD individuals were separated into two groups: non-sleep disorder group (n = 128) and sleep disorder group (n = 112). The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and World Health Organization criteria for the Quality of Life Brief scale (WHOQOL-BREF) scores of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression method was used to analyze the independent risk factors of CHD patients with sleep disorders. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to develop the risk prediction model. The association among the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, SAS, and SDS was examined using Spearman's correlation analysis.

RESULTS

The incidence of sleep disorder was 46.67% in 240 patients. The scores of SAS and SDS in the sleep disorder group were higher than those in the non-sleep disorder group, and the WHOQOL-BREF scores were lower than those in the non-sleep disorder group (P < 0.05). The risk prediction model of sleep disturbances in CHD patients was constructed using the outcomes of multivariate logistic regression analysis, P = 1/[1 + e (-2.160 + 0.989 × (female) + 0.001 × (new rural cooperative medical insurance) + 2.219 × (anxiety) + 2.157 × depression)]. The results of a Spearman's correlation study revealed that sleep quality was strongly adversely connected with the physiological field, psychological field, and social relation scores in QoL, and was considerably positively correlated with SAS and SDS (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

A multivariate logistic regression model can better predict the occurrence of sleep disorders in CHD patients. Sleep disorders in CHD patients are significantly correlated with QoL, depression, and anxiety.

Effects of empowerment education on patients after percutaneous coronary intervention: A meta-analysis and systematic review

BACKGROUND

Empowerment education is a new nursing education model with great significance in the process of chronic disease rehabilitation, and a number of studies have found that it has good benefits for patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). But there is no meta-analysis on how empowerment education influence the life of patients after PCI.

AIMS

Our study intends to evaluate the impact of empowerment education on the quality of life, cognitive level, anxiety and depression level of patients after PCI.

DESIGN

Systematic review and meta-analysis, following PRISMA guidelines.

METHODS

RevMan5.4 software and R software were used for statistical analysis. Mean difference or standard mean difference was used as effect analysis statistic for continuous variables with 95% confidence intervals.

RESULTS

Six studies met the inclusion criteria, including 641 patients. The Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, with statistically significant difference. Empowerment education could increase the knowledge of coronary heart disease in patients after PCI, but the difference was not statistically significant.

CONCLUSION

Significant effects of empowerment have been found in improving patients' quality of life and self-care ability. Empowerment education could be a safe exercise option in PCI rehabilitation. However, the effect of empowerment on cognitive level for coronary heart disease and the depression needs to carry out more large-sample, multi-center clinical trials.

The Prevalence of Depression and Anxiety in Heart Failure Patients in Saudi Arabia: An Original Study

Background Depression is a severe comorbidity that is often detected in patients with chronic diseases. Poor prognosis may eventuate high mortality risk. Up to 30% of heart failure patients have been documented with depression and the majority upholds depression-related symptoms that may have serious clinical implications, such as hospital readmissions and fatalities. To mitigate depression-induced harms among heart failure patients, studies are being conducted to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and interventions. Objectives The current investigation is envisioned to examine the prevalence of depression and anxiety among the Saudi heart failure population. Also, it will help to explore the risk factors that will subsequently facilitate the analysis of preventive measures. Methodology The cross-sectional epidemiologic research was conducted at King Khalid University, Hospital with the recruitment of 205 participants. Each participant underwent a 30-question screening for depression, anxiety, and related risk factors. The "Hospital, Anxiety, and Depression Scale" (HADS score) was used to score subjects for the assessment of both comorbidities. The data points were subsequently analyzed by descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Results Among 205 participants, 137 (66.82%) were male and 68 (33.17%) were female with a mean age of 59.71 years. Our sample reflects a prevalence of 52.7% depression and 56.9% anxiety in Saudi heart failure patients. High depression scores were positively related to age, female gender, hospital readmissions, and pre-existing comorbidities in heart failure patients. Conclusion The study manifested high depression scores among the Saudi heart failure cohort compared to the previous survey. In addition, a substantial interrelationship of depression and categorical variables has been identified that accentuates predominating risks that can potentially promote depression and anxiety in heart failure patients.

Dynamic Trajectory of a Patient-Reported Outcome and Its Associated Factors for Patients with Chronic Heart Failure: A Growth Mixture Model Approach

PURPOSE

This study aimed to identify subgroups of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients with distinct trajectories of quality of life (QOL) and to identify baseline characteristics associated with the trajectories.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

Two-year, prospective, cohort study including 315 patients with CHF was conducted from July 2017. Information on QOL assessed by CHF-patient-reported outcomes measure (CHF-PROM) was collected at baseline, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Demographic and clinical variables were recorded at baseline. Growth mixture model was used to identify distinct trajectories of CHF-PROM and its physical, psychological, social, and therapeutic domains. Single factor analysis was employed to assess the factors associated with development of CHF-PROM over time.

RESULTS

Two classes of overall score of CHF-PROM were identified: poorer (14.0%) and better (86.0%). Poorer class tended to be aged, have low diastolic blood pressure, have concomitant atrial fibrillation, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancers, and central nervous system diseases, and used nitrates. Three classes of physical scores were identified: unstable-poorer (5.2%), stable-poorer (29.4%) and better (65.4%). Age, NYHA grade, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, combined with cancers and central nervous system diseases were related to the grouping. Poorer (8.6%) and better (91.4%) classes of psychological scores were identified. Poorer class tended to be female and had concomitant atrial fibrillation. Degenerate class (34.6%) and meliorate class (65.4%) of therapeutic scores were identified. Degenerate class tended to have concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and use less angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.

CONCLUSION

We identified different classes with distinct trajectories of QOL that may help proper evaluate QOL and further improve its status for patients CHF.

Neighborhood deprivation and coronary heart disease in patients with bipolar disorder

The aim was to study the potential effect of neighborhood deprivation on incident and fatal coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with bipolar disorder. This was a nationwide cohort study which included all adults aged 30 years or older with bipolar disorder (n = 61,114) in Sweden (1997–2017). The association between neighborhood deprivation and the outcomes was explored using Cox regression analysis, with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Patients with bipolar disorder living in neighborhoods with high or moderate levels of deprivation were compared with those living in neighborhoods with low deprivation scores. There was an association between level of neighborhood deprivation and incident and fatal CHD among patients with bipolar disorder. The HRs were 1.24 (95% CI 1.07–1.44) for men and 1.31 (1.13–1.51) for women for incident CHD among patients with bipolar disorder living in high deprivation neighborhoods compared to those from low deprivation neighborhoods, after adjustments for potential confounders. The corresponding HR for fatal CHD were 1.35 (1.22–1.49) in men and 1.30 (1.19–1.41) in women living in high deprivation neighborhoods. Increased incident and fatal CHD among patients with bipolar disorder living in deprived neighborhoods raises important clinical and public health concerns.

Family functioning and health-related quality of life of inpatients with coronary heart disease: a cross-sectional study in Lanzhou city, China

Background

A key outcome in coronary heart disease (CHD) is Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), and family functioning is important in the management of CHD. But few studies have examined both together, and little is known about them among inpatients with CHD in less developed areas of China. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the HRQoL and family functioning status of inpatients with CHD in Lanzhou from Northwest China, and identify the factors that affect their HRQoL.

Methods

A cross‑sectional study was conducted in 224 CHD inpatients at one major hospital. Sociodemographic data and disease information of CHD inpatients were collected by face-to-face using a structured questionnaire and data were also obtained from patient medical records. HRQoL was measured using the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP). Family functioning was measured using the family APGAR index. Multiple binary logistic regression analysis (MBLRA) was used to explore potential risk factors associated with HRQoL, and Pearson’s correlations were used to assess the relationship between family functioning and HRQoL.

Results

The overall, physical and psychosocial SIP scores were 25.03 ± 8.52, 18.61 ± 9.90 and 28.08 ± 9.64, respectively. The total family APGAR score was 6.11 ± 2.45. MBLRA found older age, poorer cardiac function and more severe disease were associated with poorer HRQoL, while better family functioning, higher monthly income, and urban living were associated with better HRQoL. Family functioning was weakly to moderately correlated with total and psychosocial HRQoL.

Conclusions

Older and less affluent inpatients with lower educational level, less family support and more severe CHD have poorest quality of life, and health care providers should consider interventions to support them.

The odds ratio of education, exercise, kinds of insomnia, habit of 1 h before bed, diagnosed depression, coronary heart disease (P = 0.01) showed significant difference. Their odds ratios were 0.71 (0.55, 0.93), 2.09 (1.32, 3.31), 0.76 (0.63, 0.91), 0.89 (0.81, 0.98), 0.32 (0.17, 0.60), 0.43 (0.23, 0.79).

CONCLUSION

We demonstrated that education, exercise, kinds of insomnia, habit of 1 h before bed, diagnosed depression and coronary heart disease affect the depression.

Visual Analysis of Uterine Adhesion Research Based on CiteSpace: Bibliometric Analysis From 2006 to 2021

Background

Intrauterine adhesionis caused by a variety of reasons, such as damage of the endometrial basal layer, adhesion or occlusion of the uterine cavity or cervix in different degrees. Seriously endangering women's physical and mental health.

Objective

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the research development of intrauterine adhesions in recent 15 years, explore the future development direction, and promote the development of this field.

Methods

With intrauterine adhesions and Ashman's syndrome as the theme, the related literatures from January 2006 to July 2021 in the Web of Science were searched, and the visual atlas was analyzed by CiteSpace software.

Results

A total of 644 literatures were included. The key words related to intrauterine adhesion mainly include adhesion, pregnancy, expression, intrauterine adhesions, women, adhesion molecule, diagnosis, activation, hysteroscopy and fertility, etc. Six clusters were obtained by keywords analysis, involving hysteroscopy, placenta, office hysteroscopy, uterus and laparoscopy. Co-occurrence of keywords shows that the research focus in recent years is on endometrial repair and regeneration.

Conclusions

Through the bibliometric analysis of WOS research on intrauterine adhesions in recent 15 years, the comprehensive analysis of countries, institutions, authors and keywords is obtained, which has a clear guiding significance for guiding the future development of intrauterine adhesions.

Psycho-Cardiological Disease: A Bibliometric Review From 2001 to 2021

The aim of this study was to gain insight into the progress and dynamics of psycho-cardiological disease research and track its hot spots. We have analyzed psycho-cardiological disease-related literature extracted from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection from 2001 to 2021 with the help of Cite Space. As a result, we have included 5,032 records. Then, we have analyzed connected networks for the country, author, subject category, keywords, and cited reference. We have summarized the findings in four aspects. First, the annual quantitative distribution of publications is on the rise, although there is a slight drop. Second, in terms of country analysis, the United States, England, Australia, Germany, and Italy are the main research forces in psycho-cardiological diseases. At the same time, several academic entities represented by Andrew Steptoe and Roland von Känel, MD, have been formed based on the early consciousness of physical and mental health in these countries. Besides, China is also more concerned about it due to the rapid population aging process and the largest population. Third, the psycho-cardiological disease is multidisciplinary, including psychology, psychiatry, clinical medicine, such as cardiovascular system and neurology, public environmental and occupational health, and pharmacology. Finally, the results of keyword analysis and co-cited references indicate the hot spots and frontiers in psycho-cardiological disease. The hot spots in psycho-cardiological disease include three aspects. The first aspect includes psychosocial factors, such as depression, lack of social support, and low economic and social status; the second aspect includes priority populations, such as Alzheimer's disease dementia caregivers, elderly, and patients with cancer, and the third aspect includes interventions, such as exercise therapy and diet. In addition, there are three future research frontiers. The first is a psycho-cardiological disease in patients with COVID-19; the second is cardiac rehabilitation, especially exercise therapy and health behavior evaluation; and the final is evidence-based medical evaluation, such as systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

An ARIMA-based study of bibliometric index prediction

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to predict bibliometric indicators based on ARIMA models and to study the short-term trends of bibliometric indicators.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper establishes a non-stationary time series ARIMA (p, d, q) model for forecasting based on the bibliometric index data of 13 journals in the library intelligence category selected from the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI) as the data source database for the period 1998–2018, and uses ACF and PACF methods for parameter estimation to predict the development trend of the bibliometric index in the next 5 years. The predicted model was also subjected to error analysis.

Findings

ARIMA models are feasible for predicting bibliometric indicators. The model predicted the trend of the four bibliometric indicators in the next 5 years, in which the number of publications showed a decreasing trend and the H-value, average citations and citations showed an increasing trend. Error analysis of the model data showed that the average absolute percentage error of the four bibliometric indicators was within 5%, indicating that the model predicted well.

Research limitations/implications

This study has some limitations. 13 Chinese journals were selected in the field of Library and Information Science as the research objects. However, the scope of research based on bibliometric indicators of Chinese journals is relatively small and cannot represent the evolution trend of the entire discipline. Therefore, in the future, the authors will select different fields and different sources for further research.

Originality/value

This study predicts the trend changes of bibliometric indicators in the next 5 years to understand the trend of bibliometric indicators, which is beneficial for further in-depth research. At the same time, it provides a new and effective method for predicting bibliometric indicators.
