OBJECTIVE From the perspective of China’s health system, to evaluate the economic efficiency of Irinotecan liposome+fluorouracil+calcium folinate+oxaliplatin(NALIRIFOX regimen) versus paclitaxel (albumin-bound) combined with gemcitabine (AG regimen) in the first-line treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer. METHODS A dynamic Markov model was constructed based on the data from the NAPOLI 3 clinical trial, with a cycle period of 28 days and a simulation time limit of 5 years. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and quality-adjusted life year (QALY) were used as the model output indicators. The willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold was set at three times China’s 2024 per capita gross domestic product (GDP), and a discount rate of 5% was adopted. A cost-utility analysis was conducted to analyze the economic efficiency of the NALIRIFOX regimen compared to the AG regimen. Univariate sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were used to evaluate the robustness of the model results, and scenario analysis was conducted by reducing the cost of irinotecan liposome by 60% and 70%. RESULTS The base-case analysis showed that the ICER of the NALIRIFOX regimen was 854 669.96 yuan/QALY compared to the AG regimen, which was greater than the WTP threshold (287 247 yuan/QALY), indicating that the NALIRIFOX regimen was not economically efficient. The univariate sensitivity analysis results indicated that the discount rate, the cost of irinotecan liposome, the utility value of the progression-free survival state, and the utility value of the disease progression state had a significant impact on the ICER. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis results showed that under the WTP threshold of this study, the NALIRIFOX regimen was not economically efficient compared with the AG regimen. The scenario analysis results indicated that when the price was reduced by 70%, the probability of the NALIRIFOX regimen being economically efficient compared with the AG regimen was 9.60%. CONCLUSIONS From the perspective of China’s health system, when the WTP threshold is set at three times China’s 2024 per capita GDP, the NALIRIFOX regimen is not economically efficient in the first-line treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer, compared with the AG regimen.

Objective:To identify the influencing factors of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in the patients undergoing egg retrieval with general anesthesia for in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET).Methods:This was a case-control study. Medical records from IVF-ET patients undergoing egg retrieval with general anesthesia in the Center for Reproductive Medicine in our hospital from November to December 2020 were retrospectively collected, 52 patients with PONV were identified (group PONV), and 252 patients without PONV were selected as control group (group C). Univariate analysis was performed on the suspicious influencing factors, and the factors with statistically significant differences were included in the logistic regression analysis model to identify the influencing factors of PONV.Results:Compared with group C, statistically significant differences were found in the number of eggs, anesthesia time, and the proportion of PONV history and/or motion sickness history in group PONV ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a large number of eggs, long anesthesia time, and a high proportion of PONV history and/or motion sickness history were independent risk factors for PONV. Conclusions:A large number of eggs, long anesthesia time, and a high proportion of PONV history and/or motion sickness history are independent risk factors for PONV in IVF-ET patients undergoing egg retrieval with general anesthesia.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

【Objective】 To investigate the resource allocation status of blood testing laboratories in 14 blood stations in Gansu Province, explore the impact of differences in basic conditions on the comprehensive testing ability of laboratories, so as to promote the homogenization and standardization of blood screening capacity in blood stations in Gansu and improve blood safety and effectivenes. 【Methods】 An evaluation index system of laboratory resource allocation was constructed and a question-naire was designed. The data of human resources, infrastructure and key equipment of 14 blood stations were collected. The entropy weight -TOPSIS method was used to evaluate and rank the resource allocation of 14 blood stations. 【Results】 In the comprehensive evaluation of blood testing laboratory resource allocation in 14 blood stations in Gansu, the top three were laboratories A, B and I, and the last three were laboratories G, M and J. On the whole, the main issue was unreasonable structure of human resources: most laboratories had unreasonable age structure; except for Laboratory A, there was no personnel with bachelor's degree or above in laboratories; most laboratories had not established a team with intermediate professional titles. In terms of infrastructure, the size of seven laboratories could not meet the needs of modern laboratory testing, and all eight blood stations had no spare nucleic acid laboratories nor a mutual spare laboratory with other blood stations As for the key equipment, 5 laboratories had no automatic blood grouping diagnostic instrument, 5 laboratories only had one set of enzyme immunoassay detection system, 3 laboratories had no spare equipment for the key equipment, which means if the equipment failure could not be repaired in time, the release of results would be affected. 【Conclusion】 There were significant differences in human resources, infrastructure and key equipment of blood testing laboratories in 14 blood stations in Gansu, which had a great impact on laboratory testing capacity and subsequent development. It is suggested that governments at all levels and health administrative departments optimize the input of laboratory resource allocation according to the blood collection volume of blood stations to gradually narrow the differences in resource distribution between different regions, improve the degree of laboratory automation and optimize the personnel structure, so as to build high-quality and efficient blood testing laboratories and ensure the safety of clinical blood use.

Objective:To summarize the construction and practice of the compulsory postgraduate course "reproductive genetics in gynecology and obstetrics" in Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Peking University, and to evaluate the teaching effect of this course.Methods:A total of 139 postgraduates who studied in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University, from 2019 to 2021 were enrolled as subjects, and a syllabus was constructed through a top-level design based on the "biological-psychological-social medicine pattern", with the teaching objectives of reproductive genetics theory, clinical translation, genetic counseling methods, and research advances. The teaching effect was evaluated by analyzing teaching assessment results, teaching evaluation feedback, and teaching achievements. SPSS 26.0 software was used to perform the t-test and the chi-square test. Results:The written test score, usual performance score, and total score of the postgraduate students in 2021 were higher than those in 2019 and 2020 [(73.50±8.19) vs. (70.94±14.90); (68.60±2.82) vs. (68.22±4.58); (90.58±4.18) vs. (89.49±7.60)], with significant differences in written test score and total score ( P<0.05). There was a high degree of satisfaction with the feedback of teaching, and 85.61% (119/139) of the students selected "great satisfaction"; in particular, there were increases in the degree of satisfaction with expanding research ideas and reflecting the advances in this discipline, but with no significant difference. There was a significant increase in the number of published articles. Conclusion:For the active implementation of the course of "Reproductive Genetics in Obstetrics and Gynecology", improving the teaching process in a planned and step-by-step way through a top-level design in advance can help to expand research ideas for future research work among postgraduates in obstetrics and gynecology and promote the sustainable development and improvement of the teaching of the emerging interdisciplinary discipline of reproductive genetics in obstetrics and gynecology.

Objective:To demonstrate the clinical significance of group A streptococcal infection (GAS) in patients with enthesitis related arthritis (ERA).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on ERA (136) and PolyRF-/Oligo juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) (272) patients in Beijing Children's Hospital from 2016 to 2018. Anti-streptococcal hemolysin "O" (ASO) was tested and documented in all patients. The infection rate of GAS was compared between patients with ERA and PolyRF-/Oligo JIA. Patients with ERA were divided to two groups according to the result of ASO (ASO positive and ASO negative). All the clinical data were documented and compared within the two groups. The statistical methods used mainly include t test, rank sum test, chi-square test, and Spearman correlation analysis.Results:The GAS infection rate of patients with ERA was higher than patients with PolyRF-/Oligo JIA (17.6% vs 9.5%, χ2=5.52, P=0.019). In ERA patients, clinical data were analyzed, and a statistical significant difference was observed in the presence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 between ASO positive and ASO negative group [75.0%(18/24) vs 49.1%(55/112), χ2=5.329, P=0.021]. Statistical differences were found in Patrick's sign positive rate between the two groups [100%(24/24) vs 67.0%(75/112), χ2=10.61, P=0.001]. There was statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding the radiogr-aphic grading at the sacroiliac joint. More patients with positive ASO had grade Ⅲ damage at the sacroiliac joint compare to patients with negative ASO [68.2%(15/22) vs 28.4%(29/102), χ2=12.49, P<0.001]. The logarithmic of the ASO was slightly correlated with the radiographic grade of sacroiliac joint ( r=0.26, P=0.005). Conclusion:Patients with ERA are prone to be infected by GAS. It's probably related to HLA-B27 postivity for antigen presentation. Patients who were infected by GAS fre-quently have sacroiliac joint involvement, and tend to be more sever. This indicates that GAS may play an important role in the pathogenesis of sacroiliac joint destruction.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristic and prognosis of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) by retrospectively study of the clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, treatment and follow-up results. The aim of this study was to improve the diagnosis and treatment of JDM and reduce the complications and mortality.Methods:Medical charts of 612 JDM cases hospitalized to Beijing children's hospital from July 2002 to July 2018. We retrospectively analyze the onset, clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, treatment and the follow-up, and then summarize the clinical characteristics and assess the therapeutic effect and prognosis.Results:There were 278 male and 334 female. The maleto female ratio was 1∶1.2. Themedian age at symptoms onset was 5.4(2.9-8.4) years old (range 6 months to 14 years). Rash was the most common initial presentation. The main clinical manifestations were rash (100%, 612 cases) and muscles weakness (96.1%, 588 cases). The most commonly involved organs by JDM were lung (57.5%, 352 cases), digestive tract (38.5%, 236 cases) and heart (32.5%, 199 cases). Muscle enzymes elevated in 95.5% (584 cases) of the patients and 89.5%(534 cases) of the patients had typical changes on electromyography. Muscle biopsy was performed in 134 patients and pathologicresults were compatible with JDM. For the treatment, all of the patients were treated by steroids plus therapy combined with immunosuppressive agents. Mostof the patients got good effect and outcome. Twenty-four patients died, and acute respiratory failurewas the most common cause of death. 17.9%(105 cases) of patients had complications. The complications included calcinosis in 70 patients and amyotrophy in 35 patients.Conclusion:JDM is a rare disease of children, andis characterized by muscle weaknessand rash. Severe organ involvement may cause death. Treatments include corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents, andthe outcome is generally good.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and follow-up of thrombosis of pediatric patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods:In this retrospective study, inpatients who were diagnosed in Beijing Children's Hospital with SLE complicated with arterial or venous thrombosis from January 2006 to December 2019 were collected, the clinical characteristics and outcomes were analyzed. Statistical product and Service solutions (SPSS) 25.0 was used for statistical analysis. T test or χ2 test (counting data) was used to compare the differences between groups, and Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the time of thrombus endpoint events in lupus children. Results:A total of 1 395 newly diagnosed SLE patients were admitted. Twenty-seven cases were diagnosed with thrombosis, accounting for 1.9% of all the lupus patients. The median course from diagnosis to thrombosis was 20 days (49 days before diagnosis to 1 year after dia-gnosis). Among the 27 patients, 22(81%) cases had renal involvement. The mean SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) score was (14±6) and (11±4) at the diagnosis of lupus and at onset of thrombosis, respectively ( t=2.547, P=0.017). 30% (8/27) of the patients had no apparent clinical manifestations of thrombosis. The patients received standard anticoagulant therapy after the diagnosis of thrombosis. During follow-up, 6 patients stopped taking medications due to the severity of the primary disease. Twenty-one patients were followed up regularly for 1-3 years. Thrombosis disappeared in 12 cases (44%), thrombolysis time ranged from 16 days to 1 year. Thrombosis were getting smaller in 9 cases (33%). And the disease was stable during follow up. Conclusion:Thrombosis is not rare in pediatric patients with systemic lupus erythematosus patients. Some patients do not have apparent clinical manifestations related to thrombus. Pediatricians should be alert to patients with renal involvement need to be more vigilant for thrombosis. Early detection and active treatment are the keys to improve the prognosis of thrombosis in pediatric SLE patients.

Objective:
To analyze the clinical data of children with rheumatic diseases complicated with osteonecrosis and summarize the clinical characteristics, so as to guide clinical work.
Methods:
The clinical data of 59 children with rheumatic diseases complicated with osteonecrosis from January 2010 to July 2018 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
Among 59 children with rheumatic diseases complicated with bone infarction, 25 cases were systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 4 cases were mixed connective tissue disease, 6 cases were juvenile dermatomyositis, 1 case was Takayasu arteritis, 1 case was leukocy to clystic vasculitis, 13 cases were systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA), 1 case was polyarthritis, and 8 cases were juvenile ankylosing spondylitis. The median time from the onset of rheumatic diseases to osteonecrosis onset was 18 (7.00, 38.75) months. A total of 115 joints were involved in 59 children, the most common of which were bilateral hips and knees. Twenty-five were single joint involvement and 34 were multiple joints involvement. There were 37 cases (63%) with vasculitis, 9 cases (15%) with oralulcer, 5 cases (8%) with Raynaud's phenomenon, 31 cases (53%) with Cushing's face, 18 cases (31%) with kidney involvement, 25 cases (42%) with hypertension, and 12 cases (24%) with spinal compression frac- tures. According to statistics, 10 children with osteonecrosis occurred without glucocorticoid intake. The longest duration of glucocorticoid therapy was 13 years, and the average duration was about (27±35) months whensymptomatic osteonecrosis occurred. The median cumulative dose of prednisone was 381.9(209.77, 561.19) mg/kg.
Conclusion
SLE, SJIA and juvenile ankylosing spondylitis are the three most common rheumatic diseases in children with osteonecrosis. The locations of osteonecrosis are mostly the bilateral hips and knees. It is necessary to strengthen joint examination, physical examination and imaging screening for children with rheumatic diseases after 18 months of onset, so early detection, early treatment are the strategy to improve the prognosis of the diseases.
