Objective To explore the effectivity and feasibility of uindirectional barbed suture for primary closure of common bile duct on Laparoscopic Exploration of Common Bile Duct Stones, Methods From January 2013 to August 2015,109 cases of primary closure of common bile duct after Laparoscopic Exploration of Common Bile Duct Stones were performed in this hospital.The characteristics of these cases were retrospectively comparatively analyzed.Results Conventional braided Sutures in 68 cases(group A),barbed Suture Devices in 41 cases (group B).There was no difference in postoperative hospital stay,intraoperative blood loss and complication rate between the two groups.Differences in bile duct incision suture time and operative time between the two groups were significantly different.Conclusion The application of uindirectional barbed suture for primary closure of common bile duct using barbed suture after Laparoscopic Exploration is a safe and effective way after treatment of choledocholithiasis.This method cuold reduce the difficulty of operation,and shorten the operation time and the learning curve.

Objective From the perspective of China's health system,evaluate the cost-effectiveness of furmonertinib compared to gefitinib in first-line monotherapy for EGFR mutation-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer.Methods Based on the FURLONG study of phase Ⅲ clinical trials,a three-state partitioned survival model was constructed and combined with parameters such as treatment cost,utility value,the incidence of adverse reactions,and discount rate;the total incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER)was simulated.Then,the ICER value was compared with the willingness to pay(WTP)value to determine the economic feasibility of furmonertinib compared to gefitinib as a first-line treatment for EGFR mutation-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer.Results The basic analysis results show that the treatment group with furmonertinib incurred an additional cost of 85 786 yuan compared to the treatment group with gefitinib,but obtained an additional 0.62 QALYs,with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of 138 306 yuan,which is less than three times China's per capita GDP.One-way sensitivity analysis shows that the best support treatment cost,PFS utility value,and PD utility value significantly impact the ICER results.The results of probability sensitivity analysis show that when the WTP is three times China's per capita GDP,the probability of economic viability of the furmonertinib group compared to the gefitinib group is 100.0%.The scenario analysis results verified the robustness of the underlying analysis results.Conclusion Under the willingness to pay threshold of three times China's per capita GDP in 2022,Choosing furmonertinib as a first-line monotherapy for EGFR mutation-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer is more cost-effective than gefitinib.
