OBJECTIVE From the perspective of China’s health system, to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of maintenance therapy with clopidogrel or aspirin monotherapy in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients after dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). METHODS A Markov model was adopted with a research period of 25 years and a cycle period of 1 year. Cohort simulations were conducted respectively for the clopidogrel group and aspirin group to predict and compare the long-term economic and health outcomes of PCI patients receiving either clopidogrel or aspirin monotherapy maintenance regimens after DAPT, and cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted. The willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold was set at the level of 1 times China’s per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024[95 749 yuan per quality-adjusted life year (QALY)], and the incremental cost- effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated. The robustness of the basic analysis results was verified by using single-factor sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis. RESULTS After PCI, patients received DAPT, clopidogrel monotherapy maintenance treatment reduced the occurrence of death events, and aspirin monotherapy maintenance treatment had a lower probability of stroke and myocardial infarction events. The ICER of the clopidogrel group regimen compared with the aspirin group regimen was 34 644.87 yuan/QALY, which was less than the WTP threshold set in this study. The results of univariate sensitivity analysis indicated that notable uncertainties affecting the basic analysis results were the probability of event-free progression to death in the aspirin group, the event-free cost in the clopidogrel group, and the event-free cost in the aspirin group. The results of probabilistic sensitivity analysis indicated that when the WTP threshold was 95 749 yuan /QALY, the economic probabilities of the clopidogrel group and the aspirin group were 83% and 17%, respectively. The economic probability of the clopidogrel group regimens showed an upward trend with the increase of the WTP threshold. CONCLUSIONS Compared to aspirin monotherapy for maintenance therapy, under the WTP threshold of 1 times China’s per capita GDP in 2024, receiving clopidogrel monotherapy for maintenance therapy after DAPT in PCI patients is more cost-effective.

Purpose:
This study attempted to detect the changes of cervical cancer screening rate and willingness among female migrants, and the associated socio-demographic factors in Shenzhen city.
Materials and Methods:
Two citywide surveys were conducted using a multistage random cluster sampling method in 2011 and 2014, respectively. Data on demographic characteristics, screening participation, and willingness to screen were collected. Logistic regression models were applied to detect possible associated socio-demographic characteristics, and their variations with survey years.
Results:
In total, 12,017 female migrants were enrolled, with a mean age (standard deviation) of 36.73 (6.55) years. From 2011 to 2014, the screening rate increased (25.8% vs. 35.1%, p < 0.001), while the willingness to screen remained stable (82.2% vs. 82.8%, p=0.46). Overall, socio-demographic characteristics of female migrants, including age, marital status, education, monthly income, employment, and medical insurance, were found to be positively associated with screening participation. Similar impacts in relation to willingness were observed except for age. However, these associations varied with survey years, mainly in the contributions of education and monthly income to screening participation, as well as age, monthly income, and medical insurance to willingness of being screened.
Conclusion
Identifying changes of associated socio-demographic factors precisely is warranted of necessity, which provides novel clues to adjust targeted actions regularly in promoting cervical cancer screening participation among female migrants in Shenzhen.

Objective:To investigate the expression of SET-NUP214 fusion gene in hematological malignancies and to analyze its related clinical biological characteristics.Methods:The clinical data of 24 patients with SET-NUP214 fusion gene-positive hematological malignancies were retrospectively analyzed, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.Results:Among the 24 patients with SET-NUP214 fusion gene, 15 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (13 cases of T-ALL and 2 cases of B-ALL) , 7 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) , and 2 cases of T/myeloid mixed acute leukemia have been identified. The immunophenotype of 13 cases of T-ALL was mainly characterized by CD3 +CD2 -, 73.3% of ALL was characterized by myeloid marker expression, and 85.7% of AML was characterized by CD7 expression. Complete remission (CR) was achieved in 22 patients (91.7%) after induction chemotherapy. All 24 patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) . With a median follow-up of 24 months, the 3-year relapse free survival (RFS) of AML and ALL was 85.7% and 33.3%, respectively ( P=0.128) . Comparing 13 cases of SET-NUP214-positive and 62 cases of SET-NUP214-negative T-ALL, the CR rates of induction chemotherapy were 92.3% and 93.5% ( P=0.445) , and the 4-week CR rates of induction chemotherapy were 69.2% and 72.6%, respectively ( P=0.187) ; the differences were not statistically significant. After HSCT, the 3-year RFS of SET-NUP214 +T-ALL and SET-NUP214 -T-ALL was 38.5% and 66.4%, respectively ( P=0.028) , and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion:The SET-NUP214 fusion gene is mainly detected in T cell-derived hematological malignancies, and the prognosis of SET-NUP214 positive T-ALL is relatively poor.

Purpose:
A cross-sectional survey was conducted to evaluate the differences on awareness and attitude towards human papillomavirus (HPV) and its vaccine between local and migrant residents who participated in cervical cancer screening in Shenzhen, China.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 9,855 females sampled from healthcare institutions in 20 street blocks through the Cervical Cancer Prevention Network were surveyed in this study by a self-administered questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to explore the role of the hukou and resident status in the willingness to receive HPV vaccination.
Results:
Local residents had a relatively higher awareness of HPV (62.0% vs. 35.6% vs. 29.9%, p < 0.001) and its vaccine (35.3% vs. 15.4% vs. 14.8%, p < 0.001), as well as a higher willingness to receive HPV vaccination (68.5% vs. 62.5% vs. 56.2%, p < 0.001) than non-permanent residents and floating population. Except for age, education level, marital status, monthly income, having daughter(s), and heard of HPV and its vaccine, the hukou and resident status significantly associated with the willingness to receive HPV vaccination (local residents vs. floating population: odds ratio, 1.216; 95% confidence interval, 1.057 to 1.398). None significant difference on the associated factors was found between local residents and internal migrants (p for interactions > 0.05).
Conclusion
Inequalities in awareness and attitude towards HPV and its vaccine existed between local and migrant residents in Shenzhen. The hukou and resident status did impact on the willingness to receive HPV vaccination, therefore, it is critical to implement effective health education campaigns on HPV and its vaccine among internal migrants.

Objective: To observe changes in the molecular expression of the NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing Protein 3 (NLRP3) pathway in depressed rats after treatment with Xiaoyaosan, and identify the regu-latory mechanism of this compound. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups with 12 rats in each group, including the control group, model group, Fluoxetine group, Xiaoyaosan group, and MCC950 group. A depression model was generated by chronic immobilization stress (induced by 3 h of restraint immo-bilization every day), and the drugs were administered at the same time in each group for 21 days. The effects of Xiaoyaosan on behavioral changes of depressed rats were observed through macroscopic characterization, body mass, open field experiments, and a sucrose preference test. The mRNA and protein expression of the NLRP3 signaling pathway was examined by fluorescence real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot assays. Results: The Xiaoyaosan group, Fluoxetine group, and MCC950 group rats showed improved depressive behavior and an increased weight of sucrose water consumption. The protein and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, and IL-1β were also decreased in the Fluoxetine, Xiaoyaosan, and MCC950 groups. Conclusion: NLRP3, Caspase-1, and IL-1β protein and mRNA expression levels were increased in the cortex of depressed rats, while Xiaoyaosan protected cortical tissue in these rats by decreasing NLRP3, Caspase-1, and IL-1βprotein and mRNA expression.

Parkinson's disease with depression belongs to the category of "tremor syndrome" and "depression syndrome" of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Its syndrome characteristics and distribution are different from simple tremor syndrome and depression syndrome. Its neuroplastic mechanism involves dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Parkinson's disease and depression have common neuro-biological mechanisms. Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment of Parkinson's disease with depression may have a dual regulation effect.

Liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome is common in clinical practice. It has both the symptoms of uncomfortable liver depression and poor digestion of spleen deficiency. The brain-gut peptide not only regulates the gastrointestinal tract, but also participates in the regulation of mood, which is consistent with the mechanism of liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome. At present, there are more than 10 brain-gut peptides discovered. This paper reviews several of these brain-gut peptides that are most closely related to liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome to explore the relationship between brain-gut peptides and liver depression and spleen deficiency.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome in sub-health status and the demographic data of liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome in sub-health status. Methods: The clinical epidemiological survey was conducted in the routine physical examination population using the "Sub-health State TCM Syndrome Questionnaire (3 Edition)". Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the relevant data of sub-health status of liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome. Results: The incidence of sub-health state of liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome was 7.16%. The sub-health state of liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome was characterized by a higher proportion of females than males. The incidence of liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome was higher in all groups over 19 years of age. The highest proportion occurred in colleges and universities, and the highest proportion occurred in divorced persons in marital status. The occupational status was the highest among persons in charge of enterprises and institutions, administrative personnel, professional technicians, and teachers with administrative personnel.
