Objective To compare and analyze the changes in the use of lung cancer therapeutic drugs before and after the national initiation of health insurance negotiations, and to study the impact of a series of policies on the use of lung cancer drugs. Methods Descriptive statistical methods were used analyze the basic situation of lung cancer patients and the changes of corresponding therapeutic drugs in Peking University People's Hospital from 2014 to 2020, as well as to the hospital procurement data of lung cancer therapeutic drugs in the database of the Chinese Medicine Economic Information. Results From 2014 to 2020, the total cost per capita of lung cancer patients showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, increasing before the national drug negotiation and gradually decreasing after the negotiation. After 2017, the use of small ATC categories such as VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors increased significantly, along with a rise in the number of monoclonal antibody varieties. The DDDs of osimertinib, anlotinib, alectinib, crizotinib and other drugs in the medical insurance list increased significantly, and the average daily cost decreased significantly. Conclusion The number of hospitalization days for lung cancer patients had continued to shorten in recent years, and the structure of drug use had changed significantly. The adjustment of the medical insurance catalog had led to more innovative lung cancer drugs showing the trend of volume up and price down.

Objective: The CT/MRI Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) demonstrates high specificity with relatively limited sensitivity for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in high-risk patients. This study aimed to explore the possibility of improving sensitivity by combining CT/MRI LI-RADS v2018 with second-line contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) LI-RADS v2017 using sulfur hexafluoride (SHF) or perfluorobutane (PFB). Materials and Methods: This retrospective analysis of prospectively collected multicenter data included high-risk patients with treatment-naive hepatic observations. The reference standard was pathological confirmation or a composite reference standard (only for benign lesions). Each participant underwent concurrent CT/MRI, SHF-enhanced US, and PFB-enhanced US examinations. The diagnostic performances for HCC of CT/MRI LI-RADS alone and three combination strategies (combining CT/ MRI LI-RADS with either LI-RADS SHF, LI-RADS PFB, or a modified algorithm incorporating the Kupffer-phase findings for PFB [modified PFB]) were evaluated. For the three combination strategies, apart from the CT/MRI LR-5 criteria, HCC was diagnosed if CT/MRI LR-3 or LR-4 observations met the LR-5 criteria using LI-RADS SHF, LI-RADS PFB, or modified PFB. Results: In total, 281 participants (237 males; mean age, 55 ± 11 years) with 306 observations (227 HCCs, 40 non-HCC malignancies, and 39 benign lesions) were included. Using LI-RADS SHF, LI-RADS PFB, and modified PFB, 20, 23, and 31 CT/MRI LR-3/4 observations, respectively, were reclassified as LR-5, and all were pathologically confirmed as HCCs. Compared to CT/MRI LI-RADS alone (74%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 68%–79%), the three combination strategies combining CT/MRI LI-RADS with either LI-RADS SHF, LI-RADS PFB, or modified PFB increased sensitivity (83% [95% CI: 77%–87%], 84% [95% CI: 79%–89%], 88% [95% CI: 83%–92%], respectively; all P < 0.001), while maintaining the specificity at 92% (95% CI: 84%–97%). Conclusion The combination of CT/MRI LI-RADS with second-line CEUS using SHF or PFB improved the sensitivity of HCC diagnosis without compromising specificity.

Objective:To evaluate the improvement effect of ergonomics in the assembly position of an automotive parts production company.Methods:From February to December 2023, the assembly positions and 8 operators of an automobile brake parts production company were selected as the research objects. The Swedish Ergonomic Hazard Identification Method and rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) were used to identify and evaluate the adverse ergonomic factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in different parts of the body before and after the improvement. Through field investigation, observation and personnel interviews, three ergonomic problems were identified that need to be solved, namely, the height of the assembly table did not match the height of the operator, the storage space for small accessories was not set reasonably, and empty boxes were difficult to be placed. Technical improvements were made by designing an adjustable height assembly table, improving the layout of the workbench, and designing a mechanical pedal automation device. Statistical analysis was performed by t-test and paired rank sum test to evaluate the effectiveness of ergonomic improvements. Results:The operation of the assembly position could be divided into 13 actions, and the time to complete 1 cycle was (83.0±2.7) s. The Swedish Ergonomic Hazard Identification Method identified 28 adverse ergonomic factors of WMSDs in different parts before improvement, and 15 adverse ergonomic factors after improvement. Before ergonomics improvement, the RULA scores were 5 to 7 points, and the risk levels of 6 workers were Ⅳ (very high risk) and 2 workers were Ⅲ (moderate risk). After ergonomics improvement, the RULA score was 4 points, and the risk level was reduced to Ⅱ (low risk). Paired rank sum test results showed that there were statistically significant differences in upper arm, A-part (upper arm, lower arm and wrist) exertion and load, A-part muscle use, neck, total score, and risk level before and after improvement ( P<0.05). Per capita productivity of assembly post was (40.1±1.4) pieces/ (person·hour) before the improvement and (44.0±1.7) pieces/ (person·hour) after the improvement, the difference was statistically significant ( t=50.35, P<0.001) . Conclusion:The ergonomic improvement measures can reduce the adverse ergonomic factors in the assembly position of an automotive parts production company, reduce the risk of WMSDs, and improve the production efficiency.

To understand the infection status of main intestinal protozoa in BALB/c mice and pro-vide a basis for further control of intestinal protozoa infection.Five hundred and forty BALB/c mice provided by four domestic suppliers of BALB/c mice were detected for intestinal protozoa,in which 140 from supplier A,130 from supplier B,135 from supplier C,and 135 from supplier D,re-spectively.Fresh faecal samples were collected from each mouse separately to extract the genome and amplified by nested PCR based on primers for the 18S rRNA gene sequences of Pent-atrichomonas hominis(P.hominis)and Cryptosporidium tyzzeri(C.tyzzeri),and the 16S-like rRNA gene sequence of Tritrichomonas muris(T.muris)and sequenced.The results showed that the total intestinal protozoan infection rate was 7.1％(10/140)in 140 mice faecal samples provided by supplier A.Among them,the positivity rate of T.muris was 7.1％(10/140),C.tyzzeri was 2.1％(3/140),and P.hominis was 7.1％(10/140),the co-infection rate of two intestinal protozoa was 7.1％(10 mice:T.muris+P.hominis),and three intestinal protozoa was 2.1％(3 mice:T.muris+P.hominis+C.tyzzeri).The total intestinal protozoan infection rate in 135 mice faecal samples provided by supplier C was 7.4％,in which,7.4％(10/135)was positive for T.muris.There are no intestinal protozoa to be detected in 130 mice faecal samples from supplier B and 135 mice faecal samples from supplier D.The homology analysis showed that the homology of ampli-fied sequence of T.muris,P.hominis and C.tyzzeri was 98.52％,98.27％and 99.87％compared with published sequence of GenBank No:AY886846.1,GenBank No:AF156964.1 and GenBank No:KJ000486.1,which was clustered as an independent branch by phylogenetic analysis respec-tively.In conclusion,there are intestinal protozoan infection in BALB/c mice in some animal sup-pliers.The co-infections of more than 3 parasites such as T.muris,P.hominis and C.tyzzeri has been found.It will provide a basis for control of intestinal protozoa infection in BALB/c mice in the future.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)and malnutrition among centenarians, as well as to explore the relationship between cognitive impairment and nutritional status.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted between November and December 2023, involving 121 elderly individuals aged ≥ 100 years in the Baoshan District of Shanghai.The survey collected general information and included the Ascertain Dementia 8-item Questionnaire(AD8), the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form(MNA-SF), and anthropometric nutritional measurements such as waist circumference(WC), hip circumference(HC), arm circumference(AC), calf circumference(CC), and grip strength.The prevalence of MCI and malnutrition among centenarians was calculated, and the correlation between MCI and MNA-SF scores, along with anthropometric nutritional measurement indicators, was analyzed.Results:The age range of centenarians was between 100 and 105 years, with an average age of 101.0±3.5 years.The majority of centenarians were female(76.9%), illiterate(58.7%), and lived with family members(73.6%).All participants had medical insurance(100%).Most had no history of long-term smoking 118(97.5%), long-term alcohol consumption 108(89.3%), long-term use of health supplements 109(90.1%), long-term tea or coffee habits 114(94.2%), chronic medical conditions 84(69.4%), or family history of dementia 102(84.3%).Additionally, 62(51.2%)reported their health status over the past year as general.According to the AD8 screening results, the negative and positive detection rates of MCI in centenarians were 79(65.3%)and 47(34.7%), respectively.Based on the MNA-SF scoring results, the detection rates of normal nutrition, malnutrition risk, and malnutrition among centenarians were 36(29.8%), 61(50.4%), and 24(19.8%), respectively.There was a statistically significant difference in AC between the non-MCI group and the MCI group among centenarians( t=0.01, P=0.03).The AD8 scores of centenarians were significantly negatively correlated with AC, CC, and MNA-SF scores( r=-0.20, r=-0.26, r=-0.29; all P<0.05). Conclusions:The cognitive function of centenarians is associated with their nutritional status, indicating that higher cognitive abilities correlate with better nutritional status.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of haploidentical high-dose in vitro non-T-cell-depleted peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HDPSCT) in treating adult patients with Ph + acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL) . Method:This retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical efficacy of 25 adult patients with Ph + ALL who underwent haplo-HDPSCT from July 2011 to June 2022 at our hospital. Results:This study included 25 patients with a median age of 27 (16-61) years, consisting of 12 males and 13 females. CR1 and ≥CR2 before transplantation were found in 23 and 2 cases, positive and negative minimal residual lesions were observed in 8 and 17 cases, and myeloablative conditioning and reduced-intensity conditioning were reported in 21 and 4 cases, respectively. Hematopoietic function was restored in all 25 patients after stem cell infusion. Of the 25 patients who underwent transplantation, 16 developed acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). The cumulative incidence rates of Ⅱ-Ⅳ and Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD were (40.4±11.3) % and (4.8±4.6) %, respectively. Four patients experienced relapse after transplantation, the cumulative relapse rates at 1 and 2 years after transplantation were (4.0±3.9) % and (14.5±7.9) %, respectively. The 2-year overall survival rate after transplantation was (81.3±8.5) % and the disease-free survival rate was (77.1±9.1) %.Conclusion:This study reveals that the unique haplo-HDPSCT protocol achieves good clinical efficacy in Ph + ALL treatment.

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 investigate the prevalence of specific IgE antibodies against Alternaria alternata and Aspergillus fumigatus in serum samples from clinical allergy patients across selected provinces in China.Methods Data on specific IgE antibodies for Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.were collected from 20 hospital laboratories in 17 cities spanning 11 provinces.The study analyzed the levels of specific IgE and their variations across different provinces and seasons.Results A total of 27 471 cases of Alternaria A.and 32 843 cases of Aspergillus F.specific IgE data were included.The national average positive rate of Alternaria A.IgE was 10.40%,with the highest rate of 22.68%in Jiangsu and the lowest rate of 2.06%in Guangxi.For Aspergillus F.specific IgE,the average positive rate was 4.24%,with Hubei province having the highest rate(7.25%)and Hunan province the lowest(1.23%).The difference in IgE levels for both Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.among provinces were statistically significant(H=9 955,16 993,all P<0.0001).Among patients,5.85%had Alternaria A.specific IgE levels at grade 3 or above,while only 0.57%had Aspergillus F.specific IgE levels at this level.When examining seasonal variations using data from Liaoning,Hunan and Anhui provinces,significant seasonal changes were observed for both Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.IgE antibodies(HAlternaria A=347.6,338.0,401.3,HAspergillus F=196.6,133.7,231.7,all P<0.0001).Conclusion The sensitization to Alternaria A.and Aspergillus F.exhibits distinct geographical characteristics and vary significantly with seasons.Given the relatively high IgE levels associated with Alternaria A.,it should be given adequate clinical attention.
