OBJECTIVE:To analyze the cost-effectiveness of two regimens in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B fibrosis. METHODS:112 cases of chronic hepatitis B fibrosis were divided into Compound biejia ruangan tablet group (group A,n=56) and Anluo huaxian pill group(group B,n=56). Both groups received Entecavir dispersible tablets combined with relevant Chinese patent medicine. The liver fibrosis index and transient elastography of 2 group were detected before and after treatment,TCM symp-tom score and effective rate calculation were conducted to compare the cost-effectiveness of 2 groups. RESULTS:The cost,effec-tive rate and cost-effectiveness ratio of group A were 9 227.10 yuan,74.11% and 12 451;those of group B were 8 202.90 yuan, 69.28%and 11 840;incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was 21 205. Group B showed a better cost-effectiveness. Result of sensitiv-ity test was same to that of cost-effectiveness analysis. CONCLUSIONS:The cost-effectiveness of Anluo huaxian pill combined with Entecavir dispersible tables is better than Compound biejia ruangan tablet combined with Entecavir dispersible tables in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the expression of centromere protein F(CENPF)in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)and its relationship with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients.Methods Based on Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)from National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI),using GEO2R,Venn diagram,Cytoscape,MCODE and GEPIA software to screen out the suspected differential gene CENPF in PDAC;based on the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and the Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx),using NCBI,GEPIA,Ualcan,Oncomine,TIMER software and Kaplan-Meier on-line survival analysis tool to analyze its possible molecular mechanism from the level of messenger RNA(mRNA).In all,surgical specimens of 121 PDAC cases diagnosed at the pathology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical Univer-sity were analyzed from the histoprotein level to analyze the relationship between CENPF and clinicopathological features and prognosis of PDAC.Results CENPF gene was abnormally expressed in various human cancers,and there was a difference in expression between pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and normal pancreatic tissue(P<0.05),and it was related to the grading(P<0.05)and prognosis(P=0.038)of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.Immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of CENPF was correlated with nerve invasion(P=0.036),TNM stage(P=0.041),lymph node metastasis(P=0.023),degree of differentiation(P=0.020)and overall survival of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(Log-rank=18.608,P=0.000016),and CENPF expression(HR=2.654,95%CI=1.373-5.131,P=0.004)was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of PDAC patients.CENPF combined with other key module genes in PDAC was mainly enriched in exosomes,extracellular mechanisms,and was related to serine endopeptidase activity and metalloendopeptidase activity.The action pathway of CENPF single gene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma was mainly related to cell cycle,P53 pathway,ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis,and played a joint role with P53 and MDM2 in PDAC.Immune infiltration studies showed that CENPF expression was negatively correlated with CD4+T lymphocyte infiltration and positively correlated with dendritic cell infiltration(both P<0.05).Conclusion CEN-PF may be involved in the progression of PDAC,and high expression of CENPF indicates a poorer prognosis.Our research is expected to provide more scientific evidence for the prevention and treatment of PDAC.
