Objective To investigate the effects of pantoprazole treatment in the prevention of gastric tumor bleeding in patients with unresectable gastric cancer. Methods This study was a prospective double-blind,randomized,placebo-controlled trial. From January 2014 to July 2015,patients with gastric tumor bleeding in Xuzhou Cancer Hospital were included in this study. 131 cases of unresectable gastric cancer were randomly divided into two groups. In the experimental group,66 cases were taken pantoprazole 40 mg,1 time / d,and 65 cases in the control group were given placebo 40 mg and 1 time/ d. The course of treatment was 8 weeks. The differences in tumor bleeding,blood transfusion requirements and overall survival time between the two groups were observed during the follow-up period. Results The median follow-up time was 6. 5 ( 3. 3, 13. 2 ) months. Seven cases ( 10. 61%) in pantoprazole group had tumor bleeding, and 13 ( 20%) in the placebo group. There was no significant difference in cumulative risk of tumor bleeding between the two groups (Gray's test: P = 0. 426) . However,in the first 5 months of follow-up,the cumulative incidence of tumor bleeding in pantoprazole group was 0,lower than that in placebo group (9. 23%) (6/ 65) (Gray's test: P = 0. 039). There was no significant difference in blood transfusion requirement and overall survival between the two groups. No drug-related adverse reactions and bleeding related deaths occurred during the follow-up period. Conclusion Pantoprazole can not significantly reduce tumor bleeding in patients with unresectable gastric cancer.

Objective:To analyze the implementation effect of single disease payment policy for day surgery (hereinafter referred to as the policy), for references for the reform of medical insurance payment.Methods:By collecting the information of inpatients from 2017 to 2019 in a tertiary hospital, the research group took patients with colorectal benign tumor and nodular goitre as the policy implementation group and the control group respectively. 2017-2018 was the pre implementation stage of the policy, and 2019 was the post implementation stage of the policy. The difference-in-differences (DID) model was used to analyze the changes in indicators such as length of stay and hospitalization expenses after policy implementation, under whether the policy is implemented or not, as well as before or after policy implementation.Results:A total of 2 419 patients were included, including 927 patients with nodular goiter in the control group and 1 492 patients with colorectal benign tumors in the policy implementation group (688 patients before the policy implementation and 804 patients after the policy implementation). The results of DID showed that the hospital days for patients with colorectal benign tumor decreased by 56.53%, the hospitalization expenses decreased by 26.51%, the out-of-pocket expenses decreased by 26.66%, the treatment expenses increased by 11.96%, the drug expenses decreased by 50.29% and the consumables expenses decreased by 20.23% after the implementation of the policy.Conclusions:The implementation of the policy could reduce length of stay, hospitalization expenses and out-of-pocket expenses, optimize the structure of hospitalization expenses, improve the efficiency of hospital diagnosis and treatment, and help the hospital realize its transformation from a size expansion to a quality and benefit expansion.
