OBJECTIVE To comparatively analyze tumor staging versus clinical staging in reimbursement scope restrictions under medical insurance for antineoplastic agents in order to better implement the medicare drug payment policy. METHODS Antineoplastic agents included in the National Basic Medical Insurance， Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Maternity Insurance Drug Catalogue （2024） （hereinafter referred to as the “Medical Insurance Catalog”） were used as research subject to compile and analyze reimbursement scope restrictions regarding tumor staging. By consulting clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines and relevant literature， the tumor staging in reimbursement scope restrictions of the Medical Insurance Catalog was mapped and compared with clinical staging. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 89 antineoplastic agents’ medical insurance payments had tumor staging. Among these， there were 86 western drugs （including 17 ordinary western drugs， 68 negotiated drugs， and 1 competitive drug） and 3 Chinese patent medicines （including 1 ordinary Chinese patent medicine and 2 negotiated drugs）. Non-small cell lung cancer involved the most restricted payment drugs， with 36 drugs. The tumor staging in reimbursement scope restrictions was mostly “metastatic” and “locally advanced”， involving 67 and 48 drugs respectively. Tumor staging in most reimbursement scope restrictions could correspond to the clinical staging of the tumor. However， mid-advanced esophageal cancer， unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors， unresectable locally advanced neuroendocrine tumors， locally advanced basal cell carcinoma， and unresectable neurofibromatosis type Ⅰ did not have a corresponding clinical staging mentioned in authoritative guidelines or high-quality clinical studies and need to be determined by the clinic according to the actual situation of the patient. Therefore， it is recommended that the interpretation of tumor staging in reimbursement scope restrictions should be accurately defined and standardized， so as to improve the accuracy of the drug payment policy in the actual implementation process.

Objective To investigate the effects of imatinib mesylate and sunitinib malate on the migration and invasion of gastroin-testinal stromal tumor(GIST)cells.Methods After identifying primary-cultured GIST cells,their morphology was characterized using atomic force microscopy(AFM).Changes in the expression of genes related to the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were analyzed using quan-titative real-time PCR following drug treatments.Changes in the binding of related molecules were detected using AFM,and alterations in cell migration,invasive ability,and apoptosis were determined using scratch assay,Transwell assay,and flow cytometry,respectively.Results AFM imaging showed that pseudopods were flatly spread around the GIST cells,indicating characteristics consistent with easy metastasis.Administration of either imatinib or sunitinib significantly reduced the expression of genes related to the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,the density of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)on the surface of GIST cells,and molecular binding force with EGF.These changes were more pronounced with the combination treatment.Correspondingly,the invasive and migratory abilities of GIST cells were significantly reduced when either drug was administered alone and the inhibitory effect was more significant when the drugs were combined.Conclusion Both imatinib and sunitinib can significantly inhibit the expression of genes related to the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,reduce the density of EGFR on the surface of GIST cells,and attenuate their molecular binding to EGF,thereby reducing the migration and invasion of GIST cells.However,the combination of these two drugs has a more significant effect.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of digital technology-assisted debridement and bone and soft tissue reconstruction in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia.Methods:This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 38 patients (26 males, 12 females; mean age 45.61±18.36 years, range 16-83 years) with chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis complicated by soft tissue defects in the tibia, treated at the Department of Orthopaedics, Fourth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital between June 2021 and June 2023. There were 18 cases of traffic accidents, 6 cases of high-altitude falls, 6 cases of heavy objects and 6 cases of low-energy falls. Lesion sites: 12 cases in the upper segment of the tibia, 12 cases in the middle segment, and 14 cases in the lower segment. According to the Cierny-Mader classification, there were 24 cases of type III and 14 cases of type IV. Before the operation, the "3D point cloud technology" was used to plan the debridement range of bone and soft tissue. During the operation, the optical navigation system was used to monitor the debridement range in real time. The flap was designed by combining "Reading Tablet Treasure" with CT angiography, and the amount of bone graft was predicted by AI algorithm. The surgical method adopted is the Masquelet technique, namely thorough debridement, bone cement occupation and soft tissue repair in the first stage, and bone reconstruction in the second stage. Comparing the calculated bone defect amount and soft tissue defect area before the operation with the actual measured values after debridement. The cure rate of infection was evaluated by using the McKee bone infection treatment criteria after the operation. The visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, lower extremity functional scale (LEFS), and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) were used to evaluate the improvement of the quality of life of postoperative patients.Results:38 patients were followed up with a mean follow-up of 13.53±2.37 months. 37 patients' infections were effectively controlled, and 1 patient had a recurrence of infection, with an effectiveness rate of 97% for the treatment of McKee's infections. The preoperative calculated bone defect amount and soft tissue defect area were 51.05±26.31 cm 3 and 68.42±43.45 cm 2 respectively, and the actual measured values after debridement during the operation were 51.66±26.35 cm 3 and 68.82±43.76 cm 2 respectively. There was no statistically significant difference before and after the operation ( P>0.05). The interval between the first and second stage surgeries was 10.36±1.61 weeks, and all flaps survived after the first stage surgery. Two months after the operation, one case had recurrent osteomyelitis. After palliative treatment, sinus tracts were formed at the infection site. At the 12-month regular dressing change follow-up, there were still purulent secretions in the sinus tracts. There was no recurrence of infection after primary debridement in 37 cases, and the bone grafts healed. The bone healing time was 3.58±0.97 months. The postoperative VAS, LEFS, and SAS scores were 1.00±0.91, 66.68±7.91, and 34.30±4.29, respectively, which were significantly improved compared with the preoperative scores of 7.54±1.52, 21.22±4.29, and 52.70±6.74, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of digital technology to precisely design the debridement range of bone and soft tissue, and the real-time holographic visualization monitoring of the debridement range during the operation can achieve precise debridement of bone and soft tissue and personalized and precise repair of soft tissue defects. It is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia.

Background:To compare the efficacy and safety of monthly administrations of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists LY01005 and Zoladex ? in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer. Methods:From October 2020 to November 2021, 188 premenopausal breast cancer patients were enrolled in 34 hospitals and randomized 1:1 to receive either LY01005 or Zoladex ? every 28 days for a total of three injections. All patients concomitantly received oral tamoxifen (TAM). The primary efficacy endpoint was cumulative probability of maintaining menopausal level [oestradiol (E2) ≤30 pg/ml] from day 29 to day 85. The second efficacy endpoint included changes in E2, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) compared with the baseline. Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety were analyzed. The study also evaluated the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of LY01005. Results:A total of 188 patients were randomised and 187 patients received either LY01005 or Zoladex ?. Cumulative probabilities of maintaining menopausal level (E2≤30 pg/ml) from day 29 to day 85 were 93.1% for LY01005 and 86.3% for Zoladex ?. The between-group difference was 6.8% (95% CI: -2.3%, 15.9%) and primary efficacy in the LY01005 group was not inferior to that in the Zoladex ? group. Changes in E2, LH, and FSH levels compared with the baseline were equivalent between the two groups (E2: 89.34% to 90.23% vs. 82.11% to 85.02%; LH: 88.89% to 95.52% vs. 89.70% to 97.02%; FSH: 75.36% to 80.85% vs.73.07% to 80.24%, respectively). After three consecutive doses of LY01005, the LH and FSH levels of the subjects showed a transient increase after the first dose, reached a peak on the second day and then started to decrease. The LH and FSH reached a lower level and remained at or below that level until the 85th day. Both treatments were well-tolerated. Conclusion:LY01005 is as effective as Zoladex ? in suppressing E2 to menopausal levels in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer, with a similar safety profile.
