OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of canagliflozin or semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM）poorly controlled with metformin. METHODS Based on the perspective of China’s health system， a Markov model was used to calculate the long-term costs and utilities of canagliflozin or semaglutide combined with metformin for T2DM patients in China for 30 years based on the data from SUSTAIN 8 study. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio（ICER） and incremental net monetary benefit （INMB） were calculated using one time the 2024 per capita gross domestic product（GDP） as the willingness-to-pay（WTP） threshold. One-way sensitivity analysis， probability sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were conducted to confirm the stability of the conclusions. RESULTS Compared with canagliflozin + metformin， ICER of semaglutide combined with metformin was 260 485.67 yuan/quality-adjusted life year （QALY），which was higher than the WTP threshold set in this study （95 749 yuan/QALY），and the corresponding INMB was －61 576.24 yuan，indicating that the canagliflozin + metformin regimen was more cost-effective. The cost of diabetes without complications treatment in the semaglutide + metformin group had the greatest influence on INMB，but changes in parameters within the selected range did not drive decision reversal. With the increasing of WTP threshold，the economic acceptability of semaglutide + metformin regimen increased. Under the current WTP threshold，the annual cost of semaglutide should be reduced by 42.95% to make the semaglutide + metformin regimen more cost- effective. CONCLUSIONS From the perspective of China’s health system， canagliflozin + metformin is more cost-effective than semaglutide + metformin for T2DM patients yueru. with poor glycemic control with metformin alone.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety， efficacy and economics of dapagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） combined with cardiovascular disease （CVD）， and provide an evidence-based basis for clinical treatment decisions. METHODS PubMed， the Cochrane Library， Embase， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang data， VIP， SinoMed and official websites of domestic and foreign health technology assessment （HTA） organizations were systematically searched. HTA reports， systematic evaluations/meta-analyses， and pharmacoeconomic studies of dapagliflozin in the treatment of T2DM combined with CVD were searched. After data extraction and quality assessment， the results of the included studies were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS A total of 13 papers were included， of which 10 were systematic evaluations/meta-analyses and 3 were pharmacoeconomic studies. In terms of efficacy， dapagliflozin significantly reduced patients’ glycosylated hemoglobin， body weight， body mass index and blood pressure levels compared with placebo， without increasing the risk of all-cause mortality； in terms of safety， dapagliflozin did not increase the risk of overall adverse events， major adverse cardiovascular events， cardiovascular death， hospitalization for heart failure， myocardial infarction， stroke， bone fracture and renal hypoplasia； in terms of economics， the UK and Chinese studies found an economic advantage for dapagliflozin， the Thai study did not. CONCLUSIONS Dagliflozin has better efficacy and safety in the treatment of T2DM combined with CVD， and its economic findings are still controversial in different countries， with economic advantages in the context of current Chinese healthcare policies and drug prices.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with cryoglobulinemia.Methods:It is a cross-sectional study. The patients diagnosed with cryoglobulinemia in our hospital were enrolled from July 2017 to March 2023. The baseline information of patients, included age, gender, qualitative, and quantitative results of serum cryoglobulins, initial clinical manifestations, etiology, serum complement 3 and 4, and the renal pathological manifestations. The clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with different types of cryoglobulinemia were analyzed.Results:There were 62 patients (30.7%) with type Ⅰ cryoglobulinemia, 58 patients (28.7%) with type Ⅱ cryoglobulinemia, and 82 patients (40.6%) with type Ⅲ cryoglobulinemia enrolled in this study. Among these patients, 56 of primary cryoglobulinemia, 76 of autoimmune diseases, 29 of tumor-related diseases, and 52 of infectious diseases were observed. Clinical symptoms related to skin lesions (124 cases, 61.4%) and kidney damage (87 cases, 43.1%) were the most common initial clinical manifestations and arthralgia/arthritis (50 cases, 24.8%), peripheral neuropathy (33 cases, 16.3%), fatigue (28 cases, 13.9%), fever (23 cases, 11.4%) were also observed in some patients. The clinical symptoms varied in different types of cryoglobulinemia. 29.0% patients (18/62) with type Ⅰ had fatigue, which was higher than those with type Ⅱ (10.3%, 6/58) and type Ⅲ (4.9%, 4/82) ( P<0.05); Kidney damage occurred in 56.9% (33/58) patients with type Ⅱ and 52.4% (43/82) patients with type Ⅲ, which was higher than that in type Ⅰ patients (17.7%, 11/62) ( P<0.05); Only 4 patients (4.9%, 4/82) with type Ⅲ had peripheral neuropathy, which was lower than those with type Ⅰ (17.7%, 11/62) and type Ⅱ (31.0%, 18/58) ( P<0.05). The quantity of cryoglobulins in patients with type Ⅲ cryoglobulinemia [122 (82, 177) mg/L] was significantly lower than that in patients with type Ⅰ [695(229, 3 499) mg/L] ( P<0.001) and type Ⅱ cryoglobulinemia [350 (107, 1 874) mg/L] ( P<0.001). Complement 4 decreased in 49.0% (99/202) of patients and complement 3 decreased in 42.6% (86/202) of patients. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (36.0%, 9/25) and endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (32.0%, 8/25) were the main renal pathological manifestations of cryoglobulin nephropathy. Conclusions:The most common clinical manifestations of cryoglobulinemia are skin and kidney damage. The clinical manifestations of patients with cryoglobulinemia vary in different types of cryoglobulins. Serum complement decreases in nearly half of cryoglobulinemia patients.

Patients undergoing bariatric surgery are often accompanied by moderate to severe post-operative pain,and the application of high-dose opioids after surgery is more likely to cause adverse reac-tions such as respiratory depression,nausea and vomiting.Multimodal analgesia strategy based on ultrasound-guided regional nerve block has gradually shown outstanding advantages in the pain management of bariatric surgery,which can effectively reduce the dosage of opioids,reduce the incidence of postoperative complications,and improve the quality of postoperative recovery.In recent years,the applica-tion of different regional nerve block methods in bariatric surgery has been reported.This article reviews the characteristics of pain after laparoscopic bariatric surgery,the application,effects and limitations of different nerve block techniques,so as to provide reference for clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of the bone-forming channel technique combined with double plates in the treatment of postoperative aseptic nonunion of the humeral shaft. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 39 patients with postoperative aseptic nonunion of the humeral shaft who had been treated by bone-forming channel technique combined with double plates from March 2018 to December 2022. There were 20 males and 19 females, with an age of (46.5±1.6) years. The bone nonunion was atrophic in 18 cases and hypertrophic in 21 cases. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, fracture healing time and complications were recorded. The shoulder and elbow functions were evaluated before operation and at the final follow-up using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score, Neer's shoulder function score, and Mayo's elbow performance score (MEPS). Results:All the 39 patients were followed up for an average duration of (13.8±3.5) months. The operation time was (84.3±7.3) minutes, the intraoperative bleeding (127.5±4.5) mL, the fracture healing time (24.4±1.3) weeks, and the fracture healing rate 100% (39/39). None of the patients had such postoperative complications as infection, neurovascular injury, or re-rupture of internal fixation. At the final follow-up, the patients' DASH score [(7.4±1.2) points], Neer's shoulder function score [(93.4±5.2) points], and MEPS [(94.6±3.3) points] were significantly improved compared respectively with the preoperative values [(26.6±8.4) points, (74.3±6.5) points, and (73.8±5.3) points] ( P<0.05). At the final follow-up, the patients' forward flexion and upward mobility was 168.5°±3.4°, abduction and upward mobility was 167.5°±5.2°, and horizontal forward flexion was 129.5°±11.8°. Conclusion:In the treatment of postoperative aseptic nonunion of the humeral shaft, since the bone-forming channel technique combined with double plates can achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes, it is worthy of clinical application.

By collecting 475 protocol violation reports of pediatric clinical trials accepted by the ethics committee of a grade A tertiary hospital from January 2016 to December 2022, and conducting classification statistics of the responsible body, types of violation, and natures of violation, this paper analyzed and discussed the specific reasons and response measures for protocol violation. The results showed that the most common types of protocol violation included missed medication and incorrect medication dosage for pediatric research participants, missed laboratory inspection, over-windowed follow-up, and non-compliance with inclusion/exclusion criteria. And the responsibility bodies were pediatric research participants and/or their guardians, followed by the researchers. Besides, the sponsor, clinical trial coordinator, and other factors also contributed to protocol violation. Establishing awareness of responsible body, emphasizing subject management, building sound quality control system, and strengthening ethical supervision are the main countermeasures to prevent and reduce protocol violation in pediatric clinical trials, which helps to protect the safety and rights of pediatric research participants and promote standardized research in pediatric clinical trials.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and significance of supraspinatus fragments in proximal humerus fractures.Methods:A total of 210 patients with proximal humerus fractures who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University from July 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 91 males and 119 females, aged 52.4±11.3 years (range, 18-87 years). Preoperatively, the shoulder joint X-ray, CT and 3D reconstruction, and MRI were evaluated for the presence of a small fracture mass on the lateral side of the interarticular sulcus and an "M" shaped fracture mass at the interarticular sulcus. Intraoperative observation, management, postoperative functional exercise and follow-up were performed by the same group of doctors. Postoperative outpatient review was performed at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 weeks, shoulder joint X-ray and CT were taken at 2, 6, and 24 weeks to observe the presence of subacromial displaced bone mass. Constant-Murley scale was used to assess shoulder joint function.Results:All 210 patients completed the surgery successfully, and none of them had vascular, nerve or ligament injuries during the operation. According to Neer's classification: 59 cases of two-part humeral greater tuberosity fractures, 36 cases of two-part humeral surgical neck fractures, 50 cases of three-part humeral greater tuberosity fractures, and 65 cases of four-part proximal humeral fractures. 61.0% (128/210) of the patients showed the presence of a supraspinatus fragment on preoperative imaging, including 42 two-part humeral greater tuberosity fractures, 1 two-part humeral surgical neck fracture, and 31 three-part humeral greater tuberosity fractures with a small lateral fracture mass over the intertubular groove; 54 four-part proximal humeral fractures had an "M" shaped fracture mass containing the intertubular groove. All patients were followed up for 11.8±2.4 months (range, 6-20 months). Postoperative X-ray showed that all fractures healed, and the healing time was 3.4±0.3 months (range, 3-5 months). The Constant-Murley scale of the shoulder joint was 86.3±11.5 (range, 61-100).Conclusion:Supraspinatus fragments are more common in proximal humerus fractures. Proper recognition and management of supraspinatus fragments can help understand the mechanism of proximal humeral fracture occurrence, the relationship between fracture displacement and rotator cuff injury, reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, and improve the shoulder joint function.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of "ladder reduction method" in the treatment of iliac fracture combined anterior dislocation of sacroiliac joint.Methods:The retrospective analysis was performed on 10 cases of iliac fracture combined anterior sacroiliac joint dislocation admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University from February 2010 to January 2022, among which 5 cases were males and 5 cases were females, aged ranging from 22 to 52 years, with an average age of 38.8 years. All patients were injured in car accidents including 5 cases of C1.2, 3 cases of C2, and 2 cases of C3 fractures according to Tile classification. All patients were treated with the "ladder reduction method" with plate and screw fixation. In the first step, 1-2 Schanz pins were inserted into the iliac crest to control the ilium, and the Schanz pins were appropriately pulled laterally; in the second step, the periosteal stripper was used to pry the reduction between the sacrum and ilium; in the third step, for the patients who still could not be reduced, a 2.5 mm diameter Kirschner wire was placed on the sacrum close to the iliac crest, and a periosteal stripper was inserted between the sacrum and iliac crest, with its tip against the Kirkner wire, and the iliac crest as the fulcrum for pry pulling to separate the two. In the fourth step, the pry was maintained, and then another 2.5 mm diameter Kirschner wire was placed on the sacrum close to the internal margin of the iliac bone. The periosteal stripper was continued to pry between the sacrum and the iliac bone, and the operation was repeated. At the same time, the anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint was reduced with traction of the lower limb. Postoperatively, the quality of reduction was evaluated by the Matta score, and the degree of functional recovery after pelvic fracture was evaluated by the Majeed score.Results:Four patients completed the reduction through the first and second steps, and 6 cases of refractory sacroiliac joint anterior dislocation were successfully reduced through the first to fourth steps. The fracture reduction time of 6 patients with refractory anterior sacroiliac joint dislocation was 39.67±3.09 min (range, 35-44 min), with intraoperative blood loss of 300.00±141.42 ml (range, 150-600 ml); in the other 4 cases, the fracture reduction time was 36.75±4.38 min (range, 30-42 min), and the intraoperative blood loss was 225.00±44.30 ml (range, 200-300 ml). All 10 patients were followed up for 12.9±3.7 months (range, 9-20 months). The anterior and posterior pelvic ring fractures were healed in all patients, and the fracture healing time was 12.77±1.62 weeks (range, 10.71-15.28 weeks). At the last follow-up, Matta evaluation was excellent in 5 cases, good in 1 case, and excellent in the other 4 cases. The Majeed scores of 6 cases were 86.50±6.08 points (range, 74-92 points), of which 5 cases were excellent and 1 case was good. The other 4 cases were 81.5±9.39 scores (range, 71-94), of which 2 were excellent and 2 were good.Conclusion:The "ladder reduction method" is a safe, effective and easy-to-operate method for the treatment of iliac fracture combined anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint, especially for refractory anterior dislocation of the sacroiliac joint, which can still obtain satisfactory curative effects.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) levels and neuroimaging changes and cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD).Methods:135 patients with CSVD recruited from the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from September 2021 to July 2022 were assessed by cranial multimodal magnetic resonance imaging and Montreal cognitive function assessment (MoCA), and the basic data were analyzed at the same time.The serum GDNF concentration of all patients was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). According to the median GDNF concentration, the patients were divided into low GDNF group and high GDNF group. The baseline data, MoCA score and imaging markers of the two groups were compared by Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, logistic regression, Kruskal-Wallis H test and Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test, and the correlation between serum GDNF level and imaging markers and cognitive function of patients with CSVD was analyzed. Results:The median serum GDNF concentration of all CSVD patients was 16.66 pg/mL. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low serum GDNF level was a risk factor for white matter hyperintensity and total image load in patients with CSVD. Serum GDNF level was a protective factor of cognitive impairment in patients with CSVD in multiple logistic regression analysis. The area under the curve of ROC curve analysis of cognitive impairment after CSVD predicted by serum GDNF level was 0.735, the sensitivity was 66.4%, and the specificity was 71.4%. The level of serum GDNF was positively related with visual space and executive function, attention and computational power, delayed recall and orientation( r=0.267, 0.187, 0.219, 0.215, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The serum GDNF level is related to white matter hyperintensities, total imaging load and cognitive impairment in patients with CSVD. Serum GDNF level may play a predictive role in CSVD and cognitive impairment.
