OBJECTIVE To predict the possible impact of pembrolizumab(PEM) as a first-line drug after being included in the national medical insurance system in the treatment of advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer based on real-world data from the perspective of the national medical insurance payer, to provide a basis for the decision-making of the medical insurance department. METHODS A budget impact analysis model was constructed to compare the impact of pembrolizumab not included in medical insurance and included in medical insurance on medical insurance fund expenditure in the next five years( 2024- 2028) with 2023 as the baseline year. The target population was the patients with EGFR gene mutation-negative and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer; estimated cost mainly included the cost of drugs, the cost of adverse reaction treatment, the cost of examination, the cost of admission and monitoring, etc; equipment ratio of PEM in 183 hospitals of Guangdong province from 2020 to 2022 was used as the market share. Univariate sensitivity analysis was used to test the robustness of the basic analysis results. RESULTS When PEM was not included in the medical insurance, the medical insurance reimbursement amount of the target population from 2024 to 2028 was 4 933 623.5 thousand yuan-5 151 198.3 thousand yuan, respectively. If PEM was included in the medical insurance, the above data were 11 871 972.2 thousand yuan-14 540 571.0 thousand yuan, respectively; the increase in medical insurance reimbursement under the two scenarios was 6 720 773.9 thousand yuan-9 606 947.5 thousand yuan, respectively. The proportion of medical insurance reimbursement to the medical insurance expenditure of the year after PEM was included in medical insurance was 0.298 0%, 0.262 1%, 0.228 8%, 0.208 2%, and 0.185 7%, respectively. The increase in medical insurance reimbursement accounted for 1.084 0%, 0.995 7%, 0.888 6%, 0.886 3%, and 0.861 6% of the increase in the expenditure of the medical insurance fund in the current year, all of which showed a decreasing trend year by year. CONCLUSIONS If PEM is included in medical insurance, due to its high unit price, the medical expenditure will increase accordingly, which will have a great impact on the medical insurance fund expenditure. However, when the drug is used in patients with EGFR mutation-negative and ALK-negative locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, the proportion of the medical insurance reimbursement amount in the current year’s medical insurance fund expenditure and the proportion of the increase in medical insurance reimbursement in the current year’s increase in medical insurance fund expenditure are decreasing year by year.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects and potential mechanism of anaphylactoid reaction induced by nonapeptide IVQKIKHCF activating mast cells. METHODS Using human mast cell line LAD2 as subject, and substance P as positive control, the activation effects of 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L IVQKIKHCF on mast cells were investigated by determining the release rate of β-aminohexosidase, histamine release, and the contents of inflammatory factors; using MrgprX2-knockdown LAD2 cells and Mas- related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2) high-expression human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293 (MRGPRX2/ HEK293 cells) as subject, the correlation between the activation effect of IVQKIKHCF and MRGPRX2 was investigated by determining the release rate of β-aminohexosidase, and intracellular calcium ion concentration. RESULTS IVQKIKHCF with 25, 50, 100 μmol/L could significantly increase the release rate of β-aminohexosidase and histamine release in LAD2 cells (P<0.05), and promote the release of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-8, macrophage inflammatory protein-1β and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 to varying degrees (P<0.05). After knocking down MrgprX2, the effects of 25, 50, 100 μmol/L IVQKIKHCF promoting the release of β-aminohexosidase in LAD2 cells were reversed significantly (P<0.05), resulting in an increase of calcium ion concentration in MRGPRX2/HEK293 cells. CONCLUSIONS Nonapeptide IVQKIKHCF can promote mast cells to release granular matter and inflammatory mediators by activating MRGPRX2 thus inducing anaphylactoid reaction.

Objective:Iron accumulation is related to the occurrence of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Meanwhile, autophagy abnormality of bone marrow hematopoietic cells is observed in hip osteoporotic fracture. This study is performed to investigate correlation between iron accumulation induced bone loss and hematopoietic autophagy dysfunction to explore the new risk factor of osteoporosis.Methods:Male iron accumulation mice model was established by intraperitoneally injecting ferric ammonium citrate. Serum ferritin and osteogenic indicator P1NP were tested by ELISA. Bone mineral density was measured by micro-CT. Femur and tibia bone marrows were collected for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells proportion and cell apoptosis analysis. Autolysosome formation was measured by image flow cytometry. We used conditional mouse model Atg7 flox/flox; Vav-Cre(Atg7 -/-) in which Atg7 had been genetically deleted in the hematopoietic system. Bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells were collected for RNA sequence. micro-CT scan was conducted for Atg7 -/- femur. Results:Ferritin level of iron accumulation mice was significantly higher than control group( P<0.05). Iron accumulation inhibited P1NP and induced decreased bone mineral density( P<0.05). Iron accumulation bone marrow displayed enhanced hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells proportion( P<0.05), with more cell apoptosis( P<0.05). Hematopoietic autophagy was deteriorated in iron accumulation bone marrow. Transcriptomic profiling showed up-regulation of iron activity in Atg7 -/- mice, with increased iron homeostasis and iron membrane transporter genes, including Lcn2, Tfr2, Slc40a1(Fpn1), Steap3, and Cpox. micro-CT revealed severe bone loss and decreased bone mineral density in Atg7 -/- mice( P<0.05). Conclusion:Iron accumulation induced bone loss is related to inhibition of hematopoietic cells. Hematopoietic autophagy dysfunction is associated with bone loss.
