OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of cefiderocol versus best available therapy （BAT） or standard-of- care （SOC） for the treatment of confirmed or suspected carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial （CRGNB） serious infections from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system， and to explore its reasonable pricing. METHODS A decision tree model was constructed based on data from two phase Ⅲ clinical trials （CREDIBLE-CR and GAME CHANGER） to simulate the cost- effectiveness of cefiderocol in two scenarios： salvage therapy for confirmed CRGNB infection （scenario 1） and empirical therapy for suspected CRGNB infection （scenario 2）. The primary outcome measure was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio （ICER）. The willingness-to-pay （WTP） was set at 1 to 3 times China’s per capita GDP in 2024. To verify the robustness of the results， one- way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted， and based on these， a reasonable price range for cefiderocol in the Chinese market was explored. RESULTS The results for scenario 1 showed that the clinical cure rate in the cefiderocol group was higher than that in the BAT group （47.50% vs. 34.21%）， but its ICER was 415 065.03 yuan per cured case， exceeding three times China’s GDP per capita. Scenario 2 revealed that the ICER for cefiderocol relative to SOC was as high as 1 362 446.16 yuan per cured case， far exceeding the WTP. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the treatment duration and price of cefiderocol were key factors affecting its cost-effectiveness. In the two scenarios described above， the unit price of cefiderocol must fall below 683.47 and 242.00 yuan/g， respectively， to be considered cost-effective. CONCLUSIONS Based on the current market price， cefiderocol lacks sufficient cost-effectiveness for treating confirmed or suspected CRGNB serious infections within China’s healthcare system. To improve its accessibility， price negotiations or a tiered medical insurance payment strategy are required.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of serplulimab as a first-line treatment of small- cell lung cancer （SCLC）， and provide an evidence-based basis for drug selection in hospitals. METHODS Rapid health technology assessment was adopted； PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase， CNKI， Wanfang， VIP and official websites of domestic and international health technology assessment agencies were systematically searched from the inception to Oct. 2024. Two reviewers independently screened the literature， assessed the quality of included studies and carried out the qualitative analysis according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 13 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 9 economic studies were included， and the literature quality was generally good. In terms of effectiveness， compared with chemotherapy alone， serplulimab combined with chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival， overall survival， and objective response rate in patients with SCLC. In terms of safety， serplulimab combined with chemotherapy showed no significant difference in the incidence of ≥3 grade adverse events compared with chemotherapy alone in the treatment of SCLC， indicating a good safety profile； compared with combination therapies involving other immunosuppressive agents， the incidence rate of adverse events was also lower. In terms of cost-effectiveness， compared with chemotherapy alone， serplulimab combined with chemotherapy is not cost- effective， which may be related to the high price of serplulimab. CONCLUSIONS Serplulimab is effective and safe in the treatment of SCLC， but has no obvious advantage in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Sutureless scleral fixation of posterior chamber intraocular lens(SSF-PCIOL)is a technique mainly employed for the implantation and fixation of intraocular lens(IOL)when there is insufficient support from the crystalline lens capsule.In terms of clinical effects,SSF-PCIOL offers the advantages of improved visual quality and enhanced IOL stability in the patients.The surgical technique for SSF-PCIOL has evolved from the transvitreal scleral fixation approach,to the fibrin glue assisted approach,and then to the transconjunctival approach.The types of IOL available for clinical use have also shifted from traditional three-piece designs to specialized IOL designed for scleral fixation.SSF-PCIOL can be carried out in combination with other ophthalmic procedures and advanced auxiliary equipment to increase the precision of surgical procedures and the objectivity of outcome assessments while minimizing surgical trauma in the patients and ensuring surgical outcomes.This review discusses the evolution of SSF-PCIOL techniques,the characteristics of available IOL types,the synergistic application of combined procedures and auxiliary equipment,and the comprehensive evaluation of clinical outcomes,with the aim of providing clinical evidence for further refinement of the technique and offering references for surgical options for the patients with insufficient crystalline lens capsule support.

Objective To investigate the status quo of indwelling needles use in the hospitals at all lev-els in Chongqing city,and to evaluate the normalization and safety of indwelling needles use by referring to Nursing Practice Standards for Intravenous Therapy.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was used in July 2023 to conduct a cross-sectional survey on the use of indwelling needles in the hospitals at all levels in Chongqing city.Results A total of 30 807 patients in 77 hospitals were included,among them 62.67%used indwelling needles.The closed type indwelling needles accounted for 88.87%and the safety type indwelling needles accounted for 41.74%.Non-needle infusion connectors accounted for 37.78%,and steel needle con-nected with heparin caps accounted for 51.69%.95.66%of puncture site was in the upper limb,the non-cor-rosive drug infusion accounted for 87.57%,and the complications occurrence rate was 2.46%.Among the 6 419 surveyed nurses,75.51%removed indwelling needles based on clinical indications.There were statistically significant differences in the usage rates of closed type indwelling needles and non-needle infusion connectors among hospitals at different levels(P<0.05).There were also statistically significant differences in the inci-dence rates of complication and phlebitis(P<0.05).Conclusion The overall application of indwelling needles in the hospitals at all levels in Chongqing city is generally standardized,but the use of safety type indwelling needles and needle-free infusion connectors still needs to be improved.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy,safety and economy of sugemalimab in the first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)by rapid health technology assessment.Methods PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP and official websites of health technology assessment(HTA)institutions were systematically searched to collect HTA reports,systematic reviews/Meta-analysis and pharmacoeconomic studies of sugemalimab in first-line treatment of NSCLC from inception to October 31,2024.Two reviewers independently screened the literature,extracted information and performed quality assessment of the included studies,and then performed descriptive analysis on the results.Results A total of 15 articles were selected,including 4 systematic reviews/Meta-analysis and 11 pharmacoeconomic studies.In terms of effectiveness,compared with chemotherapy alone,sugemalimab combined with chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival(PFS),overall survival(OS),and objective response rate(ORR)in patients with NSCLC.In terms of safety,compared with chemotherapy alone,sugemalimab combined chemotherapy had higher incidence of overall adverse events,but it had a better safety profile compared to other immune combination therapies.In terms of economy,most studies suggested that compared with chemotherapy alone,sugemalimab combined with chemotherapy was not cost-effective,which may be related to the high price of sugemalimab.However,a few studies indicated that sugemalimab combined with chemotherapy could be cost-effective in specific scenarios.Conclusion Sugemalimab has good efficacy in the first-line treatment of NSCLC,but its safety and economy need to be further studied.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of transoral transgastric natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery(TG-NOTES)cholecystectomy in miniature pigs.Methods A total of 11 miniature pigs were selected as the experimental subjects and underwent TG-NOTES cholecystectomy.These pigs were divided into the Group A and Group B according to the surgical procedures.Among them,7 miniature pigs in the Group A underwent endoscopic cholecystectomy without dissecting the gallbladder triangle,while 4 miniature pigs in the Group B underwent endoscopic cholecystectomy after dissecting the gallbladder triangle.The success rate of surgery,the time of each stage of surgery,the incidence of complications,the success rate of cholecystectomy and the survival rate of miniature pigs in the two groups were counted.One miniature pig in the Group A and 4 miniature pigs in the Group B were selected for survival experiments.After surviving for 1 week,they were killed and dissected to observe the healing of incision and incidence of complications.Results The surgical survival rate of experimental animals was 100%,and the success rate of cholecystectomy was 100%.There was no significant difference in the surgical time,time of cut the stomach into the abdomen,time of gallbladder exploration or time of gallbladder removal of miniature pigs between the two groups(P>0.05).The time of ligating gallbladder artery of miniature pigs in the Group B was longer than that in the Group A,and the time of isdating gallbladder was shorter than that in the Group A,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the average number of complications of miniature pigs between the two groups(P>0.05).The dissection of animals after survival experiments revealed that the incisions healed well without serious complications.Conclusion This study successfully establishes the surgical model of TG-NOTES cholecystectomy,and confirms the safety and feasibility of TG-NOTES cholecystectomy.

Objective To explore the differences in the radiological features,clinical,and laboratory indicators of frequent versus infrequent gout flares in the feet and ankles using dual-energy computed tomography(DECT).Methods A retrospective selection was made on 385 gout patients,who were divided into the frequent flare group(≥2 gout attacks per year,219 cases)and the infre-quent flare group(<2 gout attacks per year,166 cases).Clinical data,laboratory indicators,and DECT imaging findings were col-lected for statistical analysis.Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for frequent gout flares and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted.Results Statistically significant differences were found between the fre-quent flare group and the infrequent flare group in terms of disease duration,body mass index(BMI),blood pressure,triglyceride(TG),serum uric acid(SUA),monosodium urate(MSU)crystal deposition,total volume of MSU crystals,maximum diameter of individ-ual tophi,number of affected joints,bone erosion,maximum depth of bone erosion,soft tissue swelling,bone proliferation and sclero-sis,and joint space narrowing(P<0.05).SUA levels,MSU crystal deposition,total volume of MSU crystals,and maximum depth of bone erosion were identified as independent risk factors for frequent gout(P<0.05).Both the combination of four factors model and the maximum depth of bone erosion model had better diagnostic efficacy.Conclusion Gout patients with high SUA levels,MSU crystal deposition,larger total volume of MSU crystals,and greater maximum depth of bone erosion are more likely to experience frequent gout attacks.Patients with bone erosion depth>3.200 mm are more likely identified early as having frequent gout.

Objective To compare the value of ultrashort echo time(UTE)and T1W sequences for detecting bone erosions of gouty arthritis.Methods Forty-four gouty patients were prospectively enrolled,including 32 cases with affected feet and 12 cases with affected knee.MR UTE and T1W sequence scanning of the affected area were performed,and subjectively scoring of imaging quality of 2 kinds of MRI were evaluated,respectively.Then total number and total score of bone erosions of each case were calculated according to all affected bones.Taken DECT as reference standard,the efficacy of UTE and T1WI for detecting bone erosions was assessed through comparing with DECT using Kappa coefficient.Results The imaging quality score of T1WI was lower than that of DECT(all P＜0.05),while no significant difference was found between UTE and DECT(all P＞0.05).There was high agreement between UTE and DECT for detecting bone erosions(κ=0.949),while the agreement between T1WI and DECT ranged from good to high(κ=0.718 to 0.805).The total number and total score of bone erosions based on T1WI were significantly lower than those based on DECT(all P＜0.05),while no significant difference was found between UTE and DECT(all P＞0.05).Conclusion UTE was better than T1WI for detecting bone erosions of gouty arthritis.
