Objective:To observe the clinical effect of initiating continuous blood purification (CBP) treatment at different times for patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and to explore the optimal timing for starting CBP treatment for SAP, so as to provide evidence for clinicians to start CBP treatment.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was used to select patients with SAP who received CBP treatment in People's Hospital of Hunan Province from January 2020 to December 2023. According to the timing of CBP initiation, the patients were divided into early initiation group (diagnosis of SAP to the first CBP treatment time < 24 hours) and late initiation group (diagnosis of SAP to the first CBP treatment time of 24-48 hours). The general data, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ), bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) score and laboratory indicators, local complications and systemic complications, intensive care unit (ICU) treatment time, hospital stay, treatment cost, and clinical outcome of the two groups were collected and compared.Results:A total of 130 patients with SAP who received CBP treatment were enrolled, including 90 patients in the early initiation group and 40 patients in the late initiation group. Before treatment, there were no significant differences in gender, age, APACHEⅡscore, BISAP score, etiology and laboratory examination indexes between the early initiation group and late initiation group. At 48, 72, 96 hours after treatment, the blood calcium level of the two groups was significantly higher than that before treatment, and the levels of white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), lactic acid, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), APACHEⅡscore and BISAP score were significantly lower than those before treatment. The WBC level, APACHEⅡscore and BISAP score of the late initiation group were significantly lower than those of the early initiation group at 72 hours and 96 hours after treatment [WBC (×10 9/L): 10.96 (8.68, 13.04) vs. 12.45 (8.93, 16.30) at 72 hours after treatment, and 10.18 (8.68, 12.42) vs. 11.96 (8.81, 16.87) at 96 hours after treatment; APACHEⅡscore: 9.50 (5.75, 12.00) vs. 11.00 (6.25, 14.00) at 72 hours after treatment, and 10.00 (4.00, 12.00) vs. 12.00 (7.00, 14.75) at 96 hours after treatment; BISAP score: 2.35±1.03 vs. 2.76±1.10 at 72 hours after treatment, and 2.08±1.21 vs. 2.70±1.11 at 96 hours after treatment], the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). In terms of complications, the incidence of pancreatic abscess in the late initiation group was significantly lower than that in the early initiation group [5.00% (2/40) vs. 20.00% (18/90)], but the incidence of abdominal compartment syndrome was significantly higher than that in the early initiation group [42.50% (17/40) vs. 13.33% (12/90)], the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). In addition, the ICU treatment time in the early initiation group was significantly shorter than that in the late initiation group [days: 11.00 (6.00, 20.00) vs. 15.00 (9.75, 25.00), P < 0.05], and there were no statistically significant differences in hospitalization costs, length of stay and mortality between the two groups. Conclusions:CBP can effectively increase the level of blood calcium and decrease the level of lactic acid and inflammatory factors. Starting CBP within 24-48 hours after diagnosis of SAP can reduce WBC level and disease severity score faster, and reduce the occurrence of pancreatic abscess. Initiation of CBP within 24 hours after diagnosis of SAP can reduce the incidence of abdominal compartment syndrome and shorten the duration of ICU treatment.

Objective To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of enzalutamide in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer from the perspective of healthcare in China.Methods Based on the published phase Ⅲ randomized controlled trial(ENZAMET),the disease process of metastatic prostate cancer was classified into three states:progression-free survival,progression survival and death,and the model period was defined as 28 days,and the study period was lifelong,and a Markov model was established to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the treatment of enzalutamide versus standard antiandrogen drugs in metastatic prostate cancer.Setting the willingness-to-pay(WTP)threshold at 3 times our 2022 gross domestic product(GDP)per capita and the robustness of the model analysis was verified by sensitivity analysis.Results Compared to the control group standard antiandrogen therapy,the incremental effect of enzalutamide was 0.92 quality-adjusted life years(QALYs),the incremental cost was 311 863.30 yuan,and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER)was 338 981.85 yuan/QALY,which was higher than WTP threshold(257 094 yuan/QALY).The results of univariate sensitivity analyses showed that the total cost of the enzalutamide group,the PFS utility value,the cost of the PD status of enzalutamide group,and the unit price of enzalutamide had a greater impact on the model results.The results of the probabilistic sensitivity analysis suggested that the enzalutamide treatment regimen was not economical within the willingness-to-pay threshold of 3 times our 2022 GDP per capita.Conclusion Compared with the standard anti-androgen drugs,enzalutamide does not offer a cost-effectiveness advantage in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer.

Since the implementation of the Measures for the Management of Radiation Workers’ Occupational Health in November 2007, it has played an extremely important role in protecting the occupational health of radiation workers. There are more than 700 000 radiation workers in about 100 000 workplaces with potential radiation exposure, as well as a large number of miners exposed to high levels of radon. As the radiation health monitoring project suggests, measures of occupational health management such as personal dose monitoring and occupational health examination of radiation workers have been widely implemented and achieved good results in the protection of radiation workers. However, the risks of chromosomal aberration and specific turbidity of the eye lens of radiation workers have increased in high-risk positions such as interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, and industrial flaw detection. The control of high radon exposure in miners needs to be strengthened. It is necessary to adapt to the new situation in view of new challenges and actively promote the revision of the Measures for the Management of Radiation Workers’ Occupational Health, so as to further improve the occupational health management of radiation workers in China.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for safe use of risperidone in clinic. METHODS Data mining and analysis of risperidone-related adverse drug event (ADE) reports from the first quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2021 in the United States FAERS database were carried out using reported odds ratio and composite criteria methods from Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. RESULTS There were 101 181 ADE reports with risperidone as the primary suspect drug,involving a total of 33 179 patients. Among those reports,the male-to-female ratio was about 6.21 to 1; most of them were <18 years old (15.01%); ADE was mainly reported by consumers (69.74%) and mainly reported by the United States (79.72%); oral dosage form was the most used,accounting for 83.71%. A total of 409 ADE signals were obtained,including male breast development, pseudogynecomastia,abnormal increase in body mass,hyperprolactinemia and Wellens syndrome,etc. Twenty-six systems and organs were involved,mainly including reproductive system and breast diseases,various injuries,poisoning and operational complications, mental diseases,metabolic and nutritional diseases,and various nervous system diseases,etc. CONCLUSIONS The common ADE signals of risperidone and the system involved are consistent with the instructions,but we should also be alert to the ADE not recorded in the instruction,such as Wellens syndrome,fibroproliferative endocarditis,cavernous degeneration of portal vein,rabbit syndrome,etc.

Objective:To investigate the application of diagnostic criteria for common occupational radiation-induced diseases to radiation workers, in order to provide a basis for the revision, publicity and standardization of the standards.Methods:Radiation workers were selected from 1 city, 7 provinces and 1 corporation by using cluster random sampling method from January 2021 to May 2021. Awareness of the criteria and the effects of ionizing radiation, and the suggestions for diagnostic works were investigated and analyzed.Results:A total of 2 839 radiation workers were investigated. There were differences in the awareness of different diagnostic criteria, the inclusions in complex diagnostic criteria, the materials required for applying for diagnosis, and the ways of knowing the diagnostic criteria( χ2=416.06, 2 924.14, 83.45, 895.67, 815.94, P<0.001). The correct understanding rates of deterministic effects and stochastic effects were 80.63% and 43.64%, respectively. The acceptance rates in applicable materials were 96.79% for occupational exposure history, 94.72% for occupational health monitoring records and 93.55% for individual monitoring of occupational exposure, respectively. Pre-employment training rate was 80.20%, on-job training rate was 81.19%, and untrained rate was 3.77%. The suggestions to the diagnosis of occupational radiation-induced diseases are to strengthen training, pay attention to individual monitoring, occupational health examination, and strengthen health supervision and law enforcement. Conclusions:Radiation workers have a low awareness rate of certain diagnostic standards and a high awareness rate of diagnostic procedures. Publicity and training of health effects of ionizing radiation and diagnostic criteria of occupational radiation-induced diseases should be strengthened. Diagnostic procedure should be optimized.

Objective:The effect of serum thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb) on permanent hypothyroidism (HT) after 131I treatment in Graves disease patients and its predictive value Methods:479 Graves' disease patients who underwent 131I treatment at the Nuclear Medicine Department of North China University of Technology Affiliated Hospital from October 2013 to October 2021 were selected. Among them, 350 cases (permanent HT group) had permanent HT during follow-up, while 129 cases (non permanent HT group) did not. Collect general clinical data such as gender, age, degree of thyroid enlargement, as well as indicators such as iodine intake rate, thyroid function, and treatment dose 24 hours before treatment, from two groups of patients. Compare the general clinical data and pre treatment levels of various detection indicators between two groups of patients, analyze the risk factors for permanent HT in Graves disease patients after 131I treatment, and evaluate the predictive value of pre treatment serum TRAb levels, and evaluate the consistency between the predicted results and clinical diagnosis. The econometric data with a normal distribution is represented by xˉ± s, and two independent sample t-tests are used for comparison between the two groups; The econometric data that do not conform to the normal distribution are represented by M( Q1, Q3), and the Wilcoxon rank sum test is used for comparison between the two groups; The counting data is represented as an example (%), and the comparison between the two groups is conducted using the four grid χ 2 test, while the comparison of grade data is conducted using the Willcoxon rank sum test; The logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Draw a subject work characteristic curve to evaluate the predictive efficacy of TRAb, and screen the predictive threshold based on the Chayoden index; Calculate sensitivity and specificity, and evaluate the consistency between the predicted results and clinical diagnosis by calculating Kappa values. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, degree of thyroid enlargement, 24-hour iodine uptake rate, serum thyroid stimulating hormone, free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine levels, and 131I treatment dose between the permanent HT group and the non permanent HT group (all P>0.05); The pre treatment TRAb levels in the permanent HT group were higher than those in the non permanent HT group [14.51(4.95,33.58) U/L vs 3.40(1.67,16.5) U/L], with a statistically significant difference ( Z=5.87, P<0.001). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pre treatment TRAb levels were a risk factor for permanent HT in Graves' disease patients after 131I treatment (odds ratio=1.042,95% confidence interval: 1.025-1.059, P<0.001). The area under the working characteristic curve for predicting permanent HT in Graves' disease patients after 131I treatment with pre-treatment TRAb levels is 0.674 (95% confidence interval: 0.616~0.732), and the optimal critical value is 7.025 U/L. Using TRAb>7.025 U/L before treatment as the standard for predicting postoperative permanent HT in patients, the sensitivity and specificity were 73.7% and 75.2%, respectively. The predicted results showed moderate consistency with clinical diagnosis ( Kappa=0.426). Conclusions:The pre treatment TRAb level is a risk factor for permanent HT in Graves disease patients after 131I treatment ( P<0.001), and the diagnostic efficacy of permanent HT is best when TRAb>7.025 U/L.
