Objective:To investigate the effect of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)cytology examination combined with lymphocyte immunoassay on clinical outcome of critically ill patients with stroke-associated pneumonia(SAP).Methods:One hundred and fifty-six critically ill patients with SAP admitted to Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the Second People's Hospital of Weifang from September 2021 to June 2022 were selected,and randomly divided into a study group and a control group,with 78 cases in each group.Control group was treated with conventional pulmonary infection,and study group added bronchoscopic alveolar lavage treatment based on the treatment of control group,and the anti-infection treatment regimen was adjusted according to the results of BALF lymphocyte immunoassay.Clinical improvement rates,clinical symptom scores,serum inflammatory factors[procal-citonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP),TNF-α],peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets(CD3+T,CD4+T,CD8+T)levels,treatment condition,in-hospital mortality and incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)between the two groups were compared.Results:Clinical improvement rates were higher in study group(44.87%,58.97%,91.03%,97.44%)than that in control group(26.92%,42.31%,78.21%,88.46%)at 3 d,5 d,7 d and 10 d of treatment(P<0.05);serum PCT,CRP and TNF-α levels were lower in study group than that in control group after 10 d of treatment(P<0.05);peripheral blood CD3+T,CD4+T,CD8+T levels were higher in study group than that in control group after 10 d of treatment(P<0.05).CPIS and CURB-65 scores were lower in study group than that in control group after 10 d of treatment(P<0.05);duration of antimicrobial drug use,duration of mechanical ventilation,and length of hospital stay were shorter in study group than that in control group(P<0.05);in-hospital mortality rate(7.69%)and inci-dence of ARDS(5.13%)were lower in study group than that in control group(19.23%,15.38%)(P<0.05).Conclusion:Optimized anti-infection treatment plan based on BALF cytology examination combined with lymphocyte immunoassay can significantly improve clinical efficacy of critically ill patients with SAP,and help to promote recovery and improve the prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of canagliflozin or semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM）poorly controlled with metformin. METHODS Based on the perspective of China’s health system， a Markov model was used to calculate the long-term costs and utilities of canagliflozin or semaglutide combined with metformin for T2DM patients in China for 30 years based on the data from SUSTAIN 8 study. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio（ICER） and incremental net monetary benefit （INMB） were calculated using one time the 2024 per capita gross domestic product（GDP） as the willingness-to-pay（WTP） threshold. One-way sensitivity analysis， probability sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were conducted to confirm the stability of the conclusions. RESULTS Compared with canagliflozin + metformin， ICER of semaglutide combined with metformin was 260 485.67 yuan/quality-adjusted life year （QALY），which was higher than the WTP threshold set in this study （95 749 yuan/QALY），and the corresponding INMB was －61 576.24 yuan，indicating that the canagliflozin + metformin regimen was more cost-effective. The cost of diabetes without complications treatment in the semaglutide + metformin group had the greatest influence on INMB，but changes in parameters within the selected range did not drive decision reversal. With the increasing of WTP threshold，the economic acceptability of semaglutide + metformin regimen increased. Under the current WTP threshold，the annual cost of semaglutide should be reduced by 42.95% to make the semaglutide + metformin regimen more cost- effective. CONCLUSIONS From the perspective of China’s health system， canagliflozin + metformin is more cost-effective than semaglutide + metformin for T2DM patients yueru. with poor glycemic control with metformin alone.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety， efficacy， and cost-effectiveness of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 （SGLT-2） inhibitors for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM）. METHODS Retrieved databases such as PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase， CNKI， as well as relevant health technology assessment （HTA） official websites， HTA reports， systematic review/meta- analysis and pharmacoeconomic studies about SGLT-2 inhibitors （including 12 types such as canagliflozin， dapagliflozin， and empagliflozin） in the treatment of T2DM were collected from the inception to January 28， 2025. After literature screening data extraction and quality assessment， a descriptive analysis was conducted on the results of the included studies. RESULTS A total of 38 articles were included， comprising 30 systematic reviews/meta-analyses， 4 pharmacoeconomic studies， and 4 HTA reports. In terms of effectiveness， most research results showed that canagliflozin was effective in controlling blood glucose， reducing body weight， and lowering blood pressure compared to other SGLT-2 inhibitors， while empagliflozin could effectively reduce all-cause mortality. In terms of safety， compared with other SGLT-2 inhibitors， empagliflozin has a lower overall adverse event rate and cardiovascular death risk， canagliflozin presented a higher risk of hypoglycemia， and dapagliflozin had a higher risk of urinary tract infections. In terms of economics， empagliflozin possessed greater economic advantages over both dapagliflozin and canagliflozin， while canagliflozin offered more benefits than dapagliflozin. CONCLUSIONS The selection of SGLT-2 inhibitors for the treatment of T2DM should be individualized. Canagliflozin is recommended for patients with high cardiovascular risk. Empagliflozin boasts the best overall safety profile. Dapagliflozin should be used with caution in patients at high risk of urinary tract infections. Based on foreign economic evidence， empagliflozin has economic advantages. In the future， drug economic studies under the Chinese health system need to be conducted.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib neoadjuvant therapy for newly diagnosed locally advanced thyroid cancer (LATC).Methods:Twenty-four newly diagnosed LATC patients (10 males and 14 females, age (47.1±3.3) years) admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine were prospectively included from January 2023 to April 2024. Patients were given anlotinib neoadjuvant therapy (12mg/d, 2 weeks of medication, 1 week of discontinuation), and the efficacy of the treatment was evaluated by CT and multi-disciplinary treatment at the end of each treatment cycle. Patients assessed as suitable for surgery would be scheduled for surgery, while those who were not suitable for surgery would continue to receive neoadjuvant therapy and periodic evaluations. The primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR), and the R0/1 resection rate and adverse events (AE) after neoadjuvant therapy were observed. Paired- t test was used to analyze the differences between groups, and the Clopper-Person accurate method was used to calculate the bilateral 95% CI of ORR and other indicators. Results:Twenty-four patients received 2(2, 3) cycles of neoadjuvant therapy with anlotinib, of which 23 underwent surgery after anlotinib therapy. After neoadjuvant therapy, the mean maximum diameter of target lesions decreased by 23.5%(95% CI: 2.8%-44.3%) compared with baseline ( t=9.22, P<0.001). The ORR and DCR were 37.5%(95% CI: 18.8%-59.4%) and 100%(95% CI: 85.8%-100%), respectively. About 91.7%(95% CI: 73.0%-99.0%) of patients eventually underwent R0/1 resection. Hand and foot skin reactions, hypertension, oral mucositis, and leukopenia were common AE; grade 4 and 5 AE were not observed. Conclusion:Anlotinib can be safely used as neoadjuvant therapy for newly diagnosed LATC patients with good antitumor effects, providing better surgical opportunities for R0/1 resection.

Objective:To explore the current implementation status and challenges of family doctor contract services (FDCS) from the perspective of contracted residents.Methods:This qualitative study used purposive sampling to select contracted residents from 11 primary healthcare institutions across five cities in China. Semi-structured interviews were conducted from March to December 2024, covering topics such as awareness of contracting, service experience, health needs, service continuity, and policy recommendations. Thematic framework analysis was applied to organize, code, and summarize the data.Results:A total of 25 contracted residents were interviewed (6 men, 19 women; 11 from central urban areas, 14 from suburban or rural towns; 8 with chronic diseases). Three main themes and ten sub-themes emerged: Theme Ⅰ: Pathways to improved service accessibility (optimized chronic disease management, more efficient referrals, and improved health education). Theme Ⅱ: Structural misalignment between supply and demand (limited specialty services despite patient needs, insufficient coverage and public awareness of home-based medical care, imbalanced human resources, and service disruption due to clinician turnover). Theme Ⅲ: Challenges in service awareness and communication mechanisms (information asymmetry and public misperception regarding FDCS, perverse incentives in administrative performance evaluation, and communication barriers in building patient-doctor trust).Conclusions:While FDCS has shown progress in chronic disease management, referral coordination, and health education, structural supply-demand gaps and communication challenges continue to hinder service quality. Improvements in resource allocation and service models are needed to support high-quality development.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety， efficacy and economics of dapagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） combined with cardiovascular disease （CVD）， and provide an evidence-based basis for clinical treatment decisions. METHODS PubMed， the Cochrane Library， Embase， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang data， VIP， SinoMed and official websites of domestic and foreign health technology assessment （HTA） organizations were systematically searched. HTA reports， systematic evaluations/meta-analyses， and pharmacoeconomic studies of dapagliflozin in the treatment of T2DM combined with CVD were searched. After data extraction and quality assessment， the results of the included studies were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS A total of 13 papers were included， of which 10 were systematic evaluations/meta-analyses and 3 were pharmacoeconomic studies. In terms of efficacy， dapagliflozin significantly reduced patients’ glycosylated hemoglobin， body weight， body mass index and blood pressure levels compared with placebo， without increasing the risk of all-cause mortality； in terms of safety， dapagliflozin did not increase the risk of overall adverse events， major adverse cardiovascular events， cardiovascular death， hospitalization for heart failure， myocardial infarction， stroke， bone fracture and renal hypoplasia； in terms of economics， the UK and Chinese studies found an economic advantage for dapagliflozin， the Thai study did not. CONCLUSIONS Dagliflozin has better efficacy and safety in the treatment of T2DM combined with CVD， and its economic findings are still controversial in different countries， with economic advantages in the context of current Chinese healthcare policies and drug prices.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of belimumab in the treatment of lupus nephritis （LN） in Chinese adult patients. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed， Embase， Web of Science， Cochrane Library， Wanfang data， CNKI， VIP and CBM， real-world studies on belimumab in the treatment of LN in Chinese adult patients were collected from the inception to July 7th， 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the literature， extracted data， and assessed the quality of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 10 real- world studies were included， involving 253 Chinese adult patients with LN. The results of the meta-analysis demonstrated that the complete renal response rate， partial renal response rate， and the incidence of adverse reaction rate in Chinese adult patients with LN treated with belimumab were 61% （95%CI was 46%-76%， P＜0.000 01）， 23%（95%CI was 2%-44%， P＝0.03）， and 30% （95%CI was 16%-43%， P＜0.000 01）， respectively. Belimumab could reduce the 24-hour urinary protein （MD＝－1.71， 95%CI was －3.02-－0.40， P＝0.01）， urine protein-creatinine ratio （MD＝－1.76，95%CI was －2.06-－1.46，P＜0.000 01）， the systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index （MD＝－8.63， 95%CI was －12.12-－5.13， P＜0.000 01）， and glucocorticoids dosage （MD＝－18.65， 95%CI was －31.82-－5.48， P＝0.006）. In addition， it could elevate the levels of complement C3 （MD＝0.19， 95%CI was 0.08-0.30， P＝0.000 6） and complement C4 （MD＝0.06， 95%CI was 0.02-0.09， P＝0.001）. However， belimumab could not improve the levels of serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Belimumab has good efficacy and safety in Chinese adult patients with LN.
