OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of vonoprazan (VPZ) in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by rapid health technology assessment, and provide evidence for clinical decision-making. METHODS English and Chinese databases including PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang data as well as the official websites of domestic and international health technology assessment agencies were searched by computer from the database establishment to August 2024. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation of included studies were conducted by two researchers, the results were described and analyzed qualitatively. RESULTS A total of 21 pieces of literature were included, involving 15 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 6 pharmacoeconomic studies. In terms of efficacy, compared with the control regimen (different doses of VPZ, placebo, other positive controls or combination therapy), VPZ (mainly 20 mg/d VPZ) significantly improved the total response rate, mucosal healing rate at 2nd week, symptom remission rate, and maintenance rate at 12th and 24th week after mucosal healing (P<0.05); when the endoscopic Los Angeles classification was C/D, the effective rate of VPZ was significantly higher than that of the control regimen (P<0.05). In terms of safety, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events between VPZ and the control regimen for GERD treatment (P>0.05), but the risk of elevated serum gastrin and abnormal liver function caused by long-term use of VPZ was higher than that of the control regimen (P<0.05). In terms of cost-effectiveness, compared with rabeprazole, lansoprazole and esomeprazole, VPZ had a cost- effectiveness/cost-utility advantage. CONCLUSIONS VPZ is effective, safe and cost-effective in the treatment of GERD.

OBJECTIVE To construct and apply drug utilization evaluation (DUE) criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) based on the dual pathway inhibition (DPI) antithrombotic therapy scheme, to promote clinical rational drug use. METHODS Based on the instructions and relevant guidelines of low-dose rivaroxaban (2.5 mg, bid), the Delphi method was used to establish the DUE criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban used in ASCVD. Weighted technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method was used to determine the relative weights of each evaluation index, and the rationality of the filing medical records of discharged patients using low-dose rivaroxaban for ASCVD at Anqing Municipal Hospital from February 2024 to January 2025 was evaluated. RESULTS The established DUE criteria included 3 primary indicators (medication indications, medication process, medication results) and 11 secondary indicators (such as indications, contraindications, etc.). The higher weighted secondary indicators being contraindications (0.117 9) and indications (0.112 1). A total of 265 medical records were included for evaluation. The evaluation results showed that 192 cases (72.45%) had reasonable medical records, 69 cases (26.04%) had basic reasonable medical records, and 4 cases (1.51%) had unreasonable medical records; unreasonable types mainly included inappropriate combination therapy, inappropriate usage and dosage, inappropriate post- medication monitoring, and inappropriate drug switching, etc. CONCLUSIONS This study establishes a DUE criteria for low-dose rivaroxaban in ASCVD based on the DPI antithrombotic treatment regimen, and the evaluation results are intuitive, reliable, and quantifiable. The use of low-dose rivaroxaban in ASCVD patients in our hospital is relatively reasonable, but further management needs to be strengthened.

Objective To compare the effect of palliative mitral valve surgeries and medication therapies for secondary non-ischemic mitral regurgitation. Methods The clinical data of patients with non-ischemic functional mitral regurgitation treated in our hospital between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<40% underwent a dobutamine stress test, and a positive result was determined when the LVEF improved by more than 15% compared to the baseline value. Positive patients were divided into a surgery group and a medication group. The surgery group underwent surgical mitral valve repair or replacement, while the medication group received simple medication treatment. Follow-up on survival and cardiac function status through outpatient or telephone visits every six months after surgery, and patients underwent cardiac ultrasound examination one year after surgery. The main research endpoint was a composite endpoint of all-cause death, heart failure readmission, and heart transplantation, and the differences in cardiac function and cardiac ultrasound parameters between the two groups were compared. Results Ultimately 41 patients were collected, including 28 males and 13 females with an average age of 55.5±11.1 years. Twenty-five patients were in the surgery group and sixteen patients in the medication group. The median follow-up time was 16 months, ranging 1-96 months. The occurrence of all-cause death in the surgery group was lower than that in the medication group (HR=0.124, 95%CI 0.024-0.641, P=0.034). The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant in the composite endpoint (HR=0.499, 95%CI 0.523-1.631, P=0.229). The New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade of the surgery group was better (NYHA Ⅰ-Ⅱ accounted for 68.0% in the surgury group and 18.8% in the medication group, P<0.01) as well as the grade of mitral valve regurgitation (87.5% of the patients in the medication group had moderate or above regurgitation at follow-up, while all the patients in the surgery group had moderate below regurgitation, P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in preoperative and follow-up changes in echocardiograph parameters between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion For non-ischemic functional mitral regurgitation, if the cardiac systolic function is well reserved, mitral valve surgery can improve survival and quality of life compare to simple medication therapy.

OBJECTIVE To study the influencing factors for proteinuria in patients with malignant tumors treated with apatinib, then establish and evaluate a risk prediction model based on it. METHODS A total of 120 patients with malignant tumors treated with apatinib in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the training set, and the clinical data was collected. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to identify independent risk factors for proteinuria associated with apatinib and then construct a risk prediction model. The predictive value of the model was evaluated by using the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. A total of 34 patients with malignant tumors treated with apatinib from January to December 2023 in our hospital were selected as the validation set, and their clinical data were obtained to cross-validate the accuracy of the prediction model. RESULTS The incidence of proteinuria in the training set of 120 patients was 26.67%. The proportions of patients with smoking history, combined hypertension, apatinib daily dose of ≥500 mg, and alanine aminotransferase level were significantly higher in proteinuria group than those in non-proteinuria group. At the same time,the neutrophilic granulocyte count was significantly lower than that in non-proteinuria group (P<0.05). Patients with smoking history and combined hypertension were the independent risk factors for apatinib-induced proteinuria (odds ratios were 5.005 and 5.342, respectively; with 95% confidence intervals of 1.806- 13.872 and 1.227-9.602, respectively; P<0.05). The binary Logistic regression model equation for the probability (P) of apatinib- induced proteinuria is expressed as LogitP=1.610XMH+1.233XSH-1.483 (MH for combined hypertension, SH for the smoking history), with a model accuracy of 80.0%. ROC curve analysis demonstrated the area under the ROC curve of 0.771, the maximum Youden’s index of 0.474, and the optimal cut-off value for LogitP was 0.159 9, with a sensitivity of 90.6% and specificity of 56.8%. Cross-validation results indicated an overall prediction accuracy of 88.24% for the 34 patients. CONCLUSIONS Combined hypertension and smoking history are independent risk factors for apatinib-induced proteinuria. The constructed risk prediction model has moderate predictive value and can be used to predict the risk of proteinuria in patients with malignant tumors induced by apatinib.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of vericiguat in the treatment of heart failure (HF) by rapid health technology evaluation method, and provide reference for the selection and decision-making of clinical treatment plans. METHODS Chinese and foreign databases such as CNKI, PubMed and related health technology evaluation websites were searched by computer. Relevant researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and comprehensively analyzed the results of the included literature based on literature quality evaluation. RESULTS A total of 17 pieces of literature were included, involving 12 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 5 pharmacoeconomic studies. The effectiveness analysis showed: for HF patients, compared with placebo, vericiguat (10 mg/d) significantly improved the EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D) index and decreased the rate of hospitalization due to HF (P<0.05). For heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients, vericiguat reduced the incidence of hospitalization due to HF compared with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i)(P<0.05); compared with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, vericiguat significantly reduced the occurrence risk of composite endpoints of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to HF(P<0.05). For HFrEF patients with chronic kidney disease, vericiguat had a tendency to reduce the occurrence risk of composite endpoints of cardiovascular death or hospitalization due to HF compared with neurohormone inhibitors. Safety analysis showed: vericiguat did not increase drug-related adverse reactions compared to placebo (P>0.05). Economic analysis showed: domestic studies indicated that vericiguat had a higher incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. CONCLUSIONS Vericiguat has good safety and efficacy in the treatment of HF but does not possess an economic advantage in the Chinese population.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of thoracoscopic combined subsegmentectomy (CSS). Methods The clinical data of 76 patients who underwent thoracoscopic CSS in Anqing Municipal Hospital from May 2018 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 22 males and 54 females, aged 27.0-76.0 (54.3±10.5) years. All patients underwent preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography using dual source CT. The modified inflation-deflation technique or indocyanine green was used to identify the intersubsegmental border. Results A total of 86 pulmonary nodules were resected in 76 patients. One patient of left upper lobe S1+2c+S4a, 1 patient of right upper lobe S2b+S3a and 1 patient of right upper lobe S1b+S3b were further performed lobectomy due to insufficient margin. One patient of left upper lobe S1+2+S3a was further performed left upper division segmentectomy due to residual atelectasis. One patient of left upper lobe S1+2c+S3a was further performed left upper division segmentectomy due to B3b+c injury, and the rest completed planned surgeries successfully. The operative time was 90.0-350.0 (174.9±53.2) min. The operative hemorrhage volume was 50.0 (20.0, 50.0) mL. The postoperative hospital stay time was 6.0 (5.0, 7.0) d. Postoperative complications included pulmonary infection in 9 patients, hemoptysis in 3 patients, persistent pulmonary leakage>3 d in 4 patients, pneumothorax in 1 patient, pleural effusion in 1 patient, and myocardial infarction in 1 patient. All of the patients were cured and discharged without perioperative death. Conclusion Thoracoscopic CSS is relatively complex. Preoperative planning under three-dimensional reconstruction and intraoperative fine operation are helpful for safe completion.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effectiveness of Flow-through bridge anterolateral thigh flap transplantation in the treatment of complex calf soft tissue defects.
METHODS:
The clinical data of the patients with complicated calf soft tissue defects, who were treated with Flow-through bridge anterolateral thigh flap (study group, 23 cases) or bridge anterolateral thigh flap (control group, 23 cases) between January 2008 and January 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. All complex calf soft tissue defects in the two groups were caused by trauma or osteomyelitis, and there was only one major blood vessel in the calf or no blood vessel anastomosed with the grafted skin flap. There was no significant difference between the two groups in general data such as gender, age, etiology, size of leg soft tissue defect, and time from injury to operation ( P>0.05). The lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) was used to evaluate the sufferred lower extremity function of the both groups after operation, and the peripheral blood circulation score of the healthy side was evaluated according to the Chinese Medical Association Hand Surgery Society's functional evaluation standard for replantation of amputated limbs. Weber's quantitative method was used to detect static 2-point discrimination (S2PD) to evaluate peripheral sensation of the healthy side, and the popliteal artery flow velocity, toenail capillary filling time, foot temperature, toe blood oxygen saturation of the healthy side, and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS:
No vascular or nerve injury occurred during operation. All flaps survived, and 1 case of partial flap necrosis occurred in both groups, which healed after free skin grafting. All patients were followed up 6 months to 8 years, with a median time of 26 months. The function of the sufferred limb of the two groups recovered satisfactorily, the blood supply of the flap was good, the texture was soft, and the appearance was fair. The incision in the donor site healed well with a linear scar, and the color of the skin graft area was similar. Only a rectangular scar could be seen in the skin donor area where have a satisfactory appearance. The blood supply of the distal limb of the healthy limb was good, and there was no obvious abnormality in color and skin temperature, and the blood supply of the limb was normal during activity. The popliteal artery flow velocity in the study group was significantly faster than that in the control group at 1 month after the pedicle was cut, and the foot temperature, toe blood oxygen saturation, S2PD, toenail capillary filling time, and peripheral blood circulation score were significantly better than those in the control group ( P<0.05). There were 8 cases of cold feet and 2 cases of numbness on the healthy side in the control group, while only 3 cases of cold feet occurred in the study group. The incidence of complications in the study group (13.04%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (43.47%) ( χ 2=3.860, P=0.049). There was no significant difference in LEFS score between the two groups at 6 months after operation ( P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Flow-through bridge anterolateral thigh flap can reduce postoperative complications of healthy feet and reduce the impact of surgery on blood supply and sensation of healthy feet. It is an effective method for repairing complex calf soft tissue defects.
