OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of 10 commonly used first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens for HIV-infected patients in China. METHODS PubMed, CNKI, and other databases were searched to collect meta-analyses of ART regimens published between 2015 and 2025, and short-term efficacy data were synthesized. A Markov model was constructed to simulate disease progression in HIV-infected patients and to extrapolate the long-term clinical and economic outcomes of different ART regimens. From the perspective of the healthcare system, life years, total costs, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) were estimated. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the results. RESULTS One network meta-analysis was ultimately included. Long-term extrapolation showed that integrase inhibitor (INSTI) regimens achieved the best clinical outcomes. Compared with efavirenz (EFV), dolutegravir (DTG) ,raltegravir (RAL) and elvitegravir/cobicistat (EVG/c) increased per-capita life expectancy by 4.47,2.90 and 2.15 years, respectively. The top five regimens in terms of cost-effectiveness were low-dose EFV, DTG, RAL, EVG/c, and rilpivirine (RPV) with ICERs of 4 414.45, 10 618.31, 21 577.71, 24 003.88, and 32 166.84 yuan/QALY compared to the EFV regimen, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Compared with EFV regimen, INSTI regimens (DTG, RAL and EVG/c) demonstrate superior efficacy as first-line ART regimens for HIV-infected patients in China. Low-dose EFV,RPV and these three INSTI regimens show substantial cost-effectiveness advantages.

Objective:To explore the mechanisms of " TongduAnshen " couplet medicines Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix-Ziziphi Spinosae Semen(TDAS)on chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)model rats.Methods:The rat model of depression were prepared using isolated and CUMS method.The depression-like behavior was detected by sucrose preference test(SPT),the open field test(OFT)and forced swimming test(FST).The pathological changes of hippocampal neurons were observed by HE and Nissl staining.The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),interleukin 18(IL-18)and interleukin 1 β(IL-1β)were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The protein expression of NLRP3,ASC,caspase-1 in hippocampus were determined by Western blot.Results:The depression-like behavior of rats in the TDAS-L,TDAS-M and TDAS-H groups was significantly improved(P<0.05 orP<0.01);HE and Nissl staining showed that the neurons were arranged neatly,the number of shrunken cells were reduced,the extent of the injury was reduced;the contents of 5-HT in hippocampus of rats increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),the contents of IL-18 and IL-1β in serum decreased(P<0.01);the expressions of NLRP3,ASC and caspase-1 in hippocampus were decreased(P<0.01).Conclusion:TDAS can improve depression-like behavior in chronic unpredictable mild stress rats,and its mechanism may be increase the contents of 5-HT,inhibit the expression of NLRP3 signaling pathway,and reduce the content of inflammatory factors.

Sinisan is a classical prescription developed and applied by ancient medical experts and it is first recorded in the Treatise on Cold Damage written by ZHANG Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Later physicians have modified this prescription based on this original one. The bibliometrics methods were used to analyze the key information and research trend of Sinisan. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 69 pieces of effective data were extracted, involving 67 ancient traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) books. The results showed that the name, composition, and decocting methods of Sinisan in later generations were inherited from the original record in the Treatise on Cold Damage. The original plants of medicinal materials used in Sinisan are basically clear. We recommend Bupleuri Radix as the dried root of Bupleurem scorzonerifolium, Paeoniae Radix Alba as the dried root of Paeonia lactiflora, Aurantii Fructus as the dried fruit of Citrus aurantium, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma as the dry root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Raw materials of Bupleuri Radix and Paeoniae Radix Alba, Aurantii Fructus stir-fried with bran, and stir-fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma should be used for preparation of Sinisan. According to measurement system in the Han Dynasty, a bag of Sinisan is composed of 1.25 g Bupleuri Radix, 1.25 g Paeoniae Radix Alba, 1.25 g Aurantii Fructus, and 1.25 g Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. The materials should be grounded into coarse powder and taken with a proper amount of rice soup, 3 times a day. Sinisan has the effects of regulating qi movement and harmonizing the liver and spleen. It can be used for treating reversal cold in limbs and cold damage. In modern clinical practice, Sinisan can be used to treat chronic gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and dyspepsia. The above research results provide scientific reference for the future research and development of Sinisan.

Objective It aims to construct an evaluation index system for the development level of intelligent health insurance,which can serve as a reference for health insurance management departments in assessing the develop-ment level of intelligent health insurance and the implementation of health insurance informatization.Methods Key events in intelligent health insurance were identified based on event system theory and text analysis.The evaluation index system was determined through a combination of expert interviews and Delphi expert consultations.The entro-py method was used to calculate the weights of each index,followed by the assessment of the current and ideal de-velopment levels.Results A total of 16 experts were consulted.After two rounds of Delphi expert consultation,two first-level indicators and 18 second-level indicators were finally included in the system.The current development level of intelligent health insurance in China is at the intelligent development stage(2.524 points),while the ideal de-velopment level is at the intelligent improvement stage(4.073 points).The positivity coefficient of both rounds of Del-phi expert consultation was 100%,with an authority coefficient of 0.842,and the degree of expert coordination im-proved with each round.Conclusion The constructed evaluation index system exhibits high scientificity,stability,and generalizability.It can provide an effective evaluation tool for the development of intelligent health insurance in various pooled areas.
