OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of serplulimab as a first-line treatment of small- cell lung cancer （SCLC）， and provide an evidence-based basis for drug selection in hospitals. METHODS Rapid health technology assessment was adopted； PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase， CNKI， Wanfang， VIP and official websites of domestic and international health technology assessment agencies were systematically searched from the inception to Oct. 2024. Two reviewers independently screened the literature， assessed the quality of included studies and carried out the qualitative analysis according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 13 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 9 economic studies were included， and the literature quality was generally good. In terms of effectiveness， compared with chemotherapy alone， serplulimab combined with chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival， overall survival， and objective response rate in patients with SCLC. In terms of safety， serplulimab combined with chemotherapy showed no significant difference in the incidence of ≥3 grade adverse events compared with chemotherapy alone in the treatment of SCLC， indicating a good safety profile； compared with combination therapies involving other immunosuppressive agents， the incidence rate of adverse events was also lower. In terms of cost-effectiveness， compared with chemotherapy alone， serplulimab combined with chemotherapy is not cost- effective， which may be related to the high price of serplulimab. CONCLUSIONS Serplulimab is effective and safe in the treatment of SCLC， but has no obvious advantage in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Objective:This study aims to obtain the prevalence and features associated with Violence Against Children (VAC) in China and, thus, formulate a prevention strategy.Methods:The mortality-related data of VAC was sourced from the National Disease Surveillance Points System (DSP) during 2013-2021. We analyzed the DSP data regarding children aged 0-17 years old who died from violence. The hospital cases of VAC was sourced from the National Injury Surveillance System (NISS), 2013-2021. We analyzed the data from NISS with the parameter of "intentional injury" caused by VAC in children aged between 0-17 years. Using robust linear regression, we analyze the time trend in the proportion of violence incidence. To understand the variations in the incidence of different types of violence across genders, we apply the chi-square test and adjusted Pearson residuals.Results:The overall trend of death caused by VAC has declined; it was reduced to 0.14/100 000 in 2021 from 0.33/100 000 in 2013. In 2021, male VAC mortality (0.15/100 000) was higher than females (0.13/100 000). The proportion of VAC cases to all injury cases has declined from 3.34% in 2013 to 2.29% in 2021. Among 9 344 VAC cases supervised by hospitals in 2021, the number of males (7 503 cases) was around 4 times that of females (1 841 cases), and the top three modes of violence were blunt tools (64.77%), falls (7.46%) and sharp instruments (6.18%), and 45 cases of sexual violence included 38 girls and 7 boys.Conclusions:The declining death rate due to VAC may be related to the benign development of Chinese society. Prevention strategies targeting training in parenting skills and problem-solving should be prioritized.

Induction of cancer cell ferroptosis has been proposed as a potential treatment in several cancer types. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a key role in promoting tumor malignant progression and therapy resistance. However, the roles and mechanisms of TAMs in regulating tumor ferroptosis is still unexplored and remains enigmatic. This study shows ferroptosis inducers has shown therapeutic outcomes in cervical cancer in vitro and in vivo. TAMs have been found to suppress cervical cancer cells ferroptosis. Mechanistically, macrophage-derived miRNA-660-5p packaged into exosomes are transported into cancer cells. In cancer cells, miRNA-660-5p attenuates ALOX15 expression to inhibit ferroptosis. Moreover, the upregulation of miRNA-660-5p in macrophages depends on autocrine IL4/IL13-activated STAT6 pathway. Importantly, in clinical cervical cancer cases, ALOX15 is negatively associated with macrophages infiltration, which also raises the possibility that macrophages reduce ALOX15 levels in cervical cancer. Moreover, both univariate and multivariate Cox analyses show ALOX15 expression is independent prognostic factor and positively associated with good prognosis in cervical cancer. Altogether, this study reveals the potential utility of targeting TAMs in ferroptosis-based treatment and ALOX15 as prognosis indicators for cervical cancer.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction on patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) and its impact on gastric function.Methods:From June 2021 to December 2022, at the Department of Gastroenterology, Wenzhou Central Hospital, a total of 56 patients with FD who met the diagnostic criteria of Rome Ⅳ were prospectively enrolled. The patients were treated with Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction for 4 weeks. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by the upper gastrointestinal symptom severity index score. The gastric function was assessed by standard gastric loading test of liquid nutrient meal and standard gastric emptying test of solid meal. The total scores of dyspeptic symptoms, the maximal satiety threshold of proximal stomach, the initial satiety threshold of proximal stomach and 5-hour solid gastric emptying rate were compared before and after the treatment. During the treatment and in 4-week follow-up after treatment, the adverse events (such as nausea, diarrhea, dizziness and rash) were observed. Wilcoxon rank sum test and paired sample t-test were used for statistical analysis. Results:After the treatment, 14 FD patients were cured, 22 patients showed significant improvement, 12 patients had response, and 8 patients showed no improvement. The total efficacy rate was 85.71%(48/56). The total score of dyspepsia symptoms after the treatment was lower than that before treatment (3.00(1.00, 4.00) vs. 13.00(8.00, 18.00)), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-7.96, P<0.001). After the treatment, the maximal satiety threshold of proximal stomach and 5-hour solid gastric emptying rate were both higher than those before treatment ( (897.45±98.82) mL vs. (588.46±60.26) mL, (87.59±12.74)% vs. (36.59±15.95)%), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=19.98 and 18.70, both P<0.001). The initial satiety threshold of proximal stomach before and after treatment was compared((131.84±52.91) mL vs. (130.0±47.61) mL), and the difference was not statistically significant( P>0.05). No adverse events related to this study were observed during treatment period and in the 4-week follow-up. Conclusions:The Modified Banxia Xiexin Decoction can improve proximal gastric compliance and gastric emptying function in patients with FD. Additionally, it can alleviate dyspeptic symptoms and have good clinical efficacy and high safety.

Clinical data and genetic mutation characteristics of a patient with Coffin-Siris syndrome by 6q25.3 deletion were summarized. The child was a 7-year and 6-month old girl who had feeding difficulties, repeated infection, language and motor retardation, low intelligence, laryngeal cartilage dysplasia, thick eyebrows, sparse teeth, hairy back, hyperactivity and aggressive behavior, seizures and ataxia. There was no abnormality in chromosomal karyotype analysis by proband; genomic copy number variant sequencing (CNV-seq) indicated approximately 4.27 Mb heterozygous deletion in chromosome 6q25.3 region, with 17 genes including ARID1B gene, father maternal CNV-seq showing no abnormalities. Trio-whole-exome sequencing showed the proband missed all exons 1-20 of the ARID1B gene, with wild-type parents. The proband had severe clinical symptoms and haplodose insufficiency which was the genetic etiology.

Objective: To explore the short-term effects of communicated activities regarding the China Healthy Lifestyle for All workshop held during September 2018. Method: "National action for three reductions and three health activities" and related content ( "salt reduction," "oil reduction," "sugar reduction," "oral health," "healthy bones," and "healthy weight" ) were used as keywords. Starting September 1, thematic publicity topics were launched and implemented throughout the month. The National Action Office issued promotional materials one day in advance through the WeChat Work Group known as the health promotion network in the mainland, which had been developed by members from different provinces, cities, and counties, to disseminate the materials for use both offline and online. Using search engines such as Baidu search and Sogou search, a third-party professional evaluation agency intelligently captured relevant information and texts from various organizations (including provinces, cities, and countries). The information was gathered and sorted according to different channels and forms; thereby, a database was formed for analysis. The content analysis method was used to quantitatively analyze the change trend of the release volume of related reports, and classified statistics were conducted according to different communication channels and forms. Baidu index, WeChat interactive volume, WeChat index, and Weibo hit times were used for evaluation. Researchers analyzed the difference of release volumes in different provinces (municipalities directly under the central government and autonomous regions), as well as in eastern and central regions. Results: The daily communication trend increased significantly after September, with 42 176 reports on related topics, peaking on September 3 (2 703 reports in a single day); effects of the topic establishment and publicity were shown during the entire month. The Badu index showed the same tendency. The keywords "three reductions," "three health," "all-people action," "oil reduction," "sugar reduction," "salt reduction," "oral health," "healthy bones," and "healthy weight" had become high-frequency words. From the perspective of communication channels, there were 17 576, 11 453, and 8 034 reports by WeChat, the news, and Weibo, respectively, accounting for 41.76%, 27.16%, and 19.05% of the total; these report rates were obviously higher than those of other communication channels. WeChat’s interactions reached 4 064 699, and the WeChat index rose to a peak of 858 275 on September 1, which was 194.44 times higher than on August 10 (before the promotional month); additionally, the number of micro-blogging hits reached 130 907 879. Regarding the form of presentation, in descending order, the most frequent type was graphics, followed by star propaganda, radio drama, and health super material. In addition, the gap between the top five provinces ranked by each channel was large. The number of daily releases varied significantly among provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions), with Beijing taking the top spot with 81 articles, while the western provinces of Xinjiang, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Qinghai Province, and Tibet had relatively low daily releases. Even the gap of rank among the top five in WeChat, news, and individual micro-blogs were larger: Beijing, Shandong Province, and Zhejiang Province were the country’s top three regions in WeChat publishing volume. The communication effect in the eastern, central, and western regions was considerably different, with the eastern region clearly responding better than the other two regions, and the western region had insufficient propaganda capacity as a whole. Conclusion The communication effect of the China Healthy Lifestyle for All month activities in 2018 was quite effective, but the gap in communication effect by provinces was large.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of outpatients with hand,foot and mouth disease (HFMD) caused by different serotypes of enteroviruses.Methods This was a prospective study.From February 2017 to March 2018,563 outpatients with HFMD were enrolled by systematic sampling in the Department of Infectious Diseases,Henan Children's Hospital.Throat swabs were collected to determine the serotypes via PCR.Demographic,clinical,and laboratory data were collected by standard questionnaire.All cases were followed up twice at 2 and 9 weeks after the initial outpatient visit through telephone interview.A total of 563 cases were enrolled and 555 (98.6％) cases were positive for human enteroviruses,including 338 (60.9％) males.Analyses were stratified by enterovirus serotypes,Chi square test or Fisher's exact test,Rank sum test was used for comparison among different groups.Results The age of 555 cases was 24.2 (16.4,41.3) months.Among them 44.0％ (224 cases) were identified as coxsackievirus (CV)-A6,while 189 cases,35 cases,14 cases and 73 cases were identified as CV-A16,enterovirus (EV)-A71,CV-A10 and other serotypes,respectively.Fever (≥37.5 ℃C) was present in 51.4％(285/555) of laboratory confirmed cases.The proportions of fever in cases of CV-A6 (68.9％(168/244)) and CV-A10 (12/14) were significantly higher than those in cases of CV-A16 (31.7％(60/189),x2=57.344,14.313,both P=0.000),other serotypes (43.8％(32/73),x2=15.101 and 8.242,P=0.000 and 0.004) and EV-A71 (37.1％(13/35),x2=13.506 and 9.441,P=0.000 and 0.002) respectively.There was no significant difference between CV-A6 and CV-A10 in presentation of fever (x2=1.785,P=0.182).There were 359 cases (64.7％) with eruptions in mouth,hands,feet and buttocks.Cases infected with EV-A71 had the highest proportions (74.3％(26/35)) of rash emerging simultaneously in mouth,hands,feet,and buttocks.The proportion in cases of CV-A 16,CV-A6,CVA 10 and other serotype were 73.5％ (139/189),61.9％ (151/244),7/14 and 49.3％ (36/73),respectively.The proportion of rash on other parts of body,such as face,limbs or torso in cases infected with CV-A6 (16.8％ (41/244)) was the higherest and the proportion in cases of CV-A16,EV-A71,CV-A10 or other serotypes were 8.5％(16/189),5.7％(2/35),1/14,6.8％(5/73),respectively.None of these cases developed serious complications.Desquamation occurred in 45.5％ (179/393) cases 7.5 (5.0,9.0) days after disease onset and 13.5％ (53/393) cases showed onychomadesis 31.0 (18.0,33.5) days after disease onset.The proportion of desquamation and onychomadesis associated with CV-A6 (64.2％ (95/148) and 31.8％ (47/148)) was significantly higher than CV-A16 (31.8％ (49/154) and 1.3％ (2/154),x2=33.601 and 52.482,both P=0.000) and other serotypes (38.0％(19/50) and 6.0％(3/50),x2=10.236 and 12.988,P=0.001 and 0.000).Desquamation appeared more in cases of CV-A6 than in cases of CV-A10 (2/11,x2=9.386,P=0.002),with the proportion of onychomadesis higher in CV-A6 than in EV-A71 (3.3％ (1/30),x2=11.088,P=0.001).Conclusion Clinical manifestation such as fever,rash emerging parts,desquamation and onychomadesis are different among outpatient HFMD cases infected with CV-A16,CV-A6,EV-A71,CV-A10 and other enteroviruses.

Objective To explore the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital disorder of glycosylation type 1a (CDG-Ⅰa), a rare inherited metabolic disease. Methods The clinical data and the gene detection results of one case of CDG-Ia which was discovered because the case had encephalopathy and hepatopathy were retrospectively analyzed. The related literatures were reviewed. Results Male infant suffered with face and trunk rash, motor development retardation, malnutrition, cheek fat plump, low limbs muscle tone, and bilateral crater nipple at 3 months old. Abnormal liver function and mild renal impairment were found after examination. The development quotient was low. Head MRI showed that bilateral frontal and temporal sulcus widening, and cerebellar atrophy. Urinary organic acids, amino acids, carnitine, and biotin activities were normal. Gene sequencing revealed that there were two heterozygous mutations, c.430T>C (p.F144L) and c.713G>C (p.R238P), in the PMM2 gene. The diagnosis of CDG-Ⅰa was confirmed. Both of the infant's parents were healthy, and each of them carries a pathogenic mutation. The infant had an elder brother who had mental disorder and died for liver and kidney function damage and hydronephrosis at 8 months old. Conclusion CDG-Ⅰa is an autosomal recessive disease. For infants with unexplained multiple organ damage, especially combined with intelligent and motor development retardations, strabismus, nipple retraction, and cerebellar atrophy, the possibility of CDG-Ⅰa should be considered. Gene detection of PMM2 can help the diagnosis.
