Objective To explore the application and efficacy of autogenous septal cartilage in the correction of cleft lip nasal deformity.Methods A total of 31 patients with secondary nasal deformity of cleft lip were involved in this study.After autologous nasal cartilage was released,the dislocation of nasal cartilage was corrected,nasal septum cartilage was used as substitute to raise the alar collapse,to reshape the nasal tip cartilage structure and correct the nasal deformity.Results Postoperative incision was primarily healing.For cartilage donor area there was no serious complications,and incision scar was concealed and unobvious; after 6 months to 2 years follow-up,there was no cartilage absorption deformation,the tip of the nose was flat,crack side nosewing collapses,and nasal columella skew was totally corrected,with stable rhinoplasty effects.Conclusions For secondary nasal deformity of cleft lip,the use of nasal septum cartilage to repair nose deformity can not only solve the cartilage source,but also give septal straightening and at the same time the correction effect of external nasal deformity is good.

OBJECTIVE：To pro vide reference for reducing the error of Markov model in pharmacoeconomic evaluation. METHODS：Referring to foreign literatures ，the errors in Markov model were explained. The commonly used correction methods were introduced ：half-cycle correction ，trapezoidal rule ，Simpson’s 1/3 rule，Simpson’s 3/8 method and life table method and their implementation in Excel and TreeAge software. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：The error of Markov model was caused by the discretization process and could be corrected by the within-cycle correction methods. Half-cycle correction ，was the most commonly used correction method and could be corrected by adding half of the results of the first cycle and subtracting half of the results of the last cycle. By trapezoidal rule ，the interval was represented by the mean value of the first end point value of the interval ，and the area of right trapezoid was the cummulative result. Simpson’s 1/3 rule and Simpson ’s 3/8 rule took another point in the interval on the basis of trapezoidal correction and the continuous curve where these three points were represented the whole curve. By life table method ，the person-years of survival was the product of the group distance of the age group and the mean value of the number of survivors of the age group and the next age group ，and the total person-years of survival was the sum of person-years of survival of each age group. In Excel ，the fuction was set according to the method principle to realize the correction ；in Tree Age software，the function expression of Init Rwd ，Inor Rwd and Final Rwd were set to realize the correction. When using Markov model for pharmacoeconomic evaluation ，if the selection of periodic correction method is based on the ease of modeling and the universality of application ，the trapezoid rule method is recommended ；based on the accuracy of results ，it is suggested to use Simpson’s 1/3 method，so as to improve the accuracy of Markov model.

OBJECTIVE：To p rovide reference for th e development and application of the pediatric quality of life inventory （PedsQL）. METHODS ：Using“PedsQL”as keyword ，retrieved from foreign databases as Medline ，ScienceDirect，Cochrane Library，ISI Web of Science ，SpringerLink and Embase ，Chinese databases as CNKI ，Wanfang database ，VIP and SinoMed ， research literatures about the application of PedsQL at home and abroad were collected during Jan. 1999-Dec. 2019. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS：A total of 2 117 literatures were included ，including 1 836 foreign literatures and 281 domestic literatures （242 in Chinese，39 in English ）. The number of published literatures was increasing year by year. PedsQL had a wide range of applications and divided into 4 main areas according to purpose ，including analysis of health influencing factors （63 items），assessment of diseases burden （1 720 items），evaluation of intervention measures （285 items），theoretical study of other scales （49 items）. The application of PedsQL in clinical trials had made fast progress ，but there were still some problems in China ，such as improper selection and use of the scale ，less application in pediatric clinical practice ，and insufficient evaluation of intervention measures. It is suggested that future researcher should consider both universality and disease specificity ，self-administered and parental surrogate version of PedsQL when selecting tools ，and apply PedsQL to perform routine clinical health-related quality of life screening to optimize the utilization efficiency of pediatric health 一 resources，and construct PedsQL mapping function based on Chinese population preference to realize the economic evaluation of drug intervention measures.

Objective To establish and assess the new method of APTT assay based on the combinations of Mg2+and Ca2+for lupus anticoagulants(LA)measurements.Methods This prospective study included 309 trisodium citrate anticoagulated plasma samples from 244 random patients and 65 patients with different autoimmune diseases(AID)to establish and assess the method of LA measurement, respectively.Final concentrations of 0,2.0, 4.0, 8.0,16.0 mmol/L Mg2+were added into 25 mmol/L Ca2+solution, and Actin reagent was used to measured plasma APTT of 94 patients.The applied concentration of Mg2+-Ca2+solution was confirmed through the special and significant alteration of APTT from LA-positive and -negative plasma observed in the presence of Mg 2+(test solution).Based on Actin reagent use,the test solution and 25 mmol/L Ca2+solution were applied to measure APTT of patients and normal individuals, respectively, and the ratio of Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT to Ca2+-APTT(Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT indices)and normalized Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT indices(NAR)were calculated, respectively.Mixed plasma NAR was measured,and CV%was calculated to evaluate the repeatability and stability of Mg 2+-Ca2+-APTT method.APTT of 150 patients was measured with the test solution and Actin reagent to calculate Mg 2+-Ca2+-APTT indices, and normalized LA ratio was determined with dRVVT method.The applicability of Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT assay was assessed through comparisons of the results from the two methods.Finally, NAR and NLR of 65 patients with AID(including 26 SLE patients)were measured with Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT assay and dRVVT method, respectively, and ROC curve was also used to assess the efficacy of the two methods for LA measurements.Results In all LA-negative plasma,APTT increased from 28.1 ±4.5 s to 61.2 ±7.9 s in normal APTT group,47.2 ±8.9 s to 97.5 ±10.3 s in increased APTT group,and 27.6 ± 5.1 s to 61.2 ±7.9 s in ACA-positive group when Mg2+increased from 0 to 8 mmol/L in Mg2+-Ca2+solution(F=34.12, 38.9 and 28.35,P<0.01).Following increased Mg2+concentration, APTT shortened from 0 to 4.0 mmol/L, but simultaneously prolonged from 4.0 to 16.0 mmol/L in LA-positive plasma with prolonged or normal APTT(F=31.55 and 39.51, P<0.01), and APTT was significantly higher in 8.0 mmol/L than that in 4.0 mmol/L(P<0.001).The test concentration of Mg 2+/Ca2+solution was 4.0 mmol/L.The within, inter-day CV% of NAR was 1.39%,2.30%, and 3.44%, respectively. According to the judging criteria of <0.966 and >1.034 of Mg2+/Ca2+indices, there was 141 patients with increased indices and NLR <1.20, and 9 patients with decreased ones and NLR≥1.20 in all 150 patients.The area under ROC curve of NAR and NLR for LA detection was 0.913(95%CI:0.848-0.978) and 0.892(95%CI:0.817-0.966), respectively, and the cut-off value was 0.87 and 1.13, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of NAR(85% and 77%)was higher than that of NLR(81% and 74%), respectively.The accordant rate of positive,negative,and total results between NAR and NLR was 94.4%, 98.5%,and 98%,respectively.Conclusion The method of APTT assay based on Mg2+combining Ca2+for LA measurements is feasible,and can be used to detect plasma LA of patients.
