OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of cefiderocol versus best available therapy （BAT） or standard-of- care （SOC） for the treatment of confirmed or suspected carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial （CRGNB） serious infections from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system， and to explore its reasonable pricing. METHODS A decision tree model was constructed based on data from two phase Ⅲ clinical trials （CREDIBLE-CR and GAME CHANGER） to simulate the cost- effectiveness of cefiderocol in two scenarios： salvage therapy for confirmed CRGNB infection （scenario 1） and empirical therapy for suspected CRGNB infection （scenario 2）. The primary outcome measure was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio （ICER）. The willingness-to-pay （WTP） was set at 1 to 3 times China’s per capita GDP in 2024. To verify the robustness of the results， one- way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted， and based on these， a reasonable price range for cefiderocol in the Chinese market was explored. RESULTS The results for scenario 1 showed that the clinical cure rate in the cefiderocol group was higher than that in the BAT group （47.50% vs. 34.21%）， but its ICER was 415 065.03 yuan per cured case， exceeding three times China’s GDP per capita. Scenario 2 revealed that the ICER for cefiderocol relative to SOC was as high as 1 362 446.16 yuan per cured case， far exceeding the WTP. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the treatment duration and price of cefiderocol were key factors affecting its cost-effectiveness. In the two scenarios described above， the unit price of cefiderocol must fall below 683.47 and 242.00 yuan/g， respectively， to be considered cost-effective. CONCLUSIONS Based on the current market price， cefiderocol lacks sufficient cost-effectiveness for treating confirmed or suspected CRGNB serious infections within China’s healthcare system. To improve its accessibility， price negotiations or a tiered medical insurance payment strategy are required.

Functional dyspepsia (FD), characterized by persistent or recurrent dyspeptic symptoms without identifiable organic, systemic or metabolic causes, is an increasingly recognized global health issue. The objective of this guideline is to equip clinicians and nursing professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management and treatment of adult patients with FD using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Guideline Development Group consulted existing TCM consensus documents on FD and convened a panel of 35 clinicians to generate initial clinical queries. To address these queries, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, China Biology Medicine (SinoMed) Database, Wanfang Database, Traditional Medicine Research Data Expanded (TMRDE), and the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (TCMLARS). The evidence from the literature was critically appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The strength of the recommendations was ascertained through a consensus-building process involving TCM and allopathic medicine experts, methodologists, pharmacologists, nursing specialists, and health economists, leveraging their collective expertise and empirical knowledge. The guideline comprises a total of 43 evidence-informed recommendations that span a range of clinical aspects, including the pathogenesis according to TCM, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, efficacy assessments, and prognostic considerations.

ObjectiveTo understand the distribution of enrofloxacin (ENR) residues in freshwater fish, to evaluate the dietary exposure risk to ENR for consumers through the consumption of different freshwater fish in Shanghai, and to provide a reference for controlling antibiotic residues in freshwater fish. MethodsGrass carp, Wuchang bream, pond loach, and Asian swamp eels were purchased from the markets in Shanghai. After being fed with ENR, the fish were divided into 42 batches according to their species and weight, and thereafter ENR residues in the muscles and skin of the fish were measured. In addition, a total of 44 batches of Wuchang bream, pond loach, Asian swamp eels were purchased from the markets, and the ENR residues in the muscles with or without the fish skin were measured, and the exposure risk was evaluated. ResultsThe average residues of ENR in skin of the freshwater fish after being fed with drugs in the 42 groups were higher than those in muscles (M=659.38 μg·kg^-1, M=460.83 μg·kg^-1; z=-2.212, P=0.027). The over-standard rates of ENR residues in the muscles with or without skin 44 batches of freshwater fish of sold in Shanghai were 36.36% and 29.55%, respectively. The median exposure, P₉₅ exposure, and maximum exposure to ENR through the consumption of the muscles with the skin for adults and children in Shanghai were higher than those through the consumption of muscles without the skin. For children, the margin of safety (MOS) for the max exposure to ENR by consuming the muscles with the skin was more than 1, while the MOS was less than 1 in all other cases for both children and adults. ConclusionThe ENR residues in the skin of freshwater fish are generally higher than those in the muscles. The risk of ENR residues in freshwater fish sold in Shanghai is within a controllable range. However, there might be a certain risk of acute exposure to ENR for children by consuming muscles with the skin of freshwater fish.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics and trends of postoperative pneumonia(POP)in tertiary general hospitals in Jiangsu Province,and provide theoretical basis for carrying out targeted pre-vention and control measures.Methods Surgery patients from 22 tertiary general hospitals in 12 cities in north,central,and south of Jiangsu Province from January 1,2022 to December 31,2023 were chosen as studied subjects,occurrence of POP was analyzed and compared.Results A total of 848 274 surgical procedures were performed in 22 hospitals,and 3 606 cases of POP occurred,with an incidence of 0.43％.The incidence in 2023 was 0.37％,which was lower than that in 2022(0.49％),with statistically significant difference(P＜0.001).The top three de-partments with high incidence of POP were neurosurgery(6.71％),cardiothoracic surgery(2.91％),and general surgery(0.77％).Among hospitals of different grades,the incidence of POP in tertiary first-class hospitals was 0.44％,which was higher than that in other tertiary hospitals(0.37％).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of POP between municipal and district/county hospitals(P＞0.05).The incidence of POP in hospitals with a bed:infection control full-time staff ratio＜200∶1 was lower than that in hospitals with the ratio ≥200∶1(0.39％vs 0.47％,P＜0.001),while the incidence of POP in hospitals with a proportion ≥30％of full-time staff being doctors was higher than that in hospitals with a proportion＜30％(0.45％vs 0.36％,P＜0.001).The incidence of POP in male patients was higher than that in female patients(0.62％vs 0.26％,P＜0.001).The incidence of POP in elderly patients aged≥65 was higher than that in patients aged＜65(0.73％vs 0.26％,P＜0.001).A total of 2 667 strains of infectious pathogens were detected,with the top three being Acine-tobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumoniae,and Pseudomonas aeruginosa,accounting for 28.95％,22.72％,and 15.45％,respectively.The detection rates of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB),carba-penem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP),and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA)were 60.75％,21.45％,and 32.28％,respectively.The detection rate of CRKP decreased in 2023 compared with 2022,with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion The overall incidence of POP in tertiary general hos-pitals in Jiangsu Province is relatively low,but there are significant differences among different hospitals.There-fore,perioperative prevention and control measures should be carried out based on the epidemiological characteristics of patients.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacy of a self-locking zero-notch interbody fusion device for long-segment cervical spondylosis in elderly patients with traditional titanium plate combined with interbody fusion device.Methods From Jan 2019 to Jan 2021,elderly patients(>60 years)with 3-4 segments(C3-C7)radiculopathy,myelopathy,or mixed-type cervical spondylosis underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion(ACDF)using a zero-notch interbody fusion device(Group A,n=24)and ACDF using a titanium plate combined with an interbody fusion device(Group B,n=18).We recorded the surgery duration,blood loss,incision length and hospital stay,measure preoperative and postoperative intervertebral height,functional segment height and cervical lordosis,and also observe treatment outcomes and postoperative complications between the two groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender,age,Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)score,visual analogue scale(VAS)of upper limb,Neck Disability Index(NDI),preoperative intervertebral height,functional segment height and cervical lordosis.Blood loss,surgery time and hospital stay were similar in both groups,but Group A had shorter incision length(P<0.01)compared with Group B.There were no significant differences between the two groups in JOA scores,upper limb VAS and postoperative NDI,and even in postoperative intervertebral height,functional segment height and cervical lordosis recovery.Conclusion The zero-notch interbody fusion device is effective for treating long-segment cervical spondylosis.Compared with the traditional titanium plate combined with an interbody fusion device,it can avoid postoperative dysphagia with smaller incision and shorter surgery time,which makes it more suitable for elderly patients.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating role of self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden between family function and decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 219 gastric cancer inpatients in Xinxiang Central Hospital of Henan Province from June 2023 to December 2024 as study subjects. Family Assessment Device, Chinese version of the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, Self-Perceived Burden Scale, and Decision Fatigue Scale were used to conduct the survey. The chain mediating effect were tested using Model 6 in the SPSS PROCESS program.Results:Family function, self-management efficacy, self-perceived burden and decision fatigue scores of gastric cancer patients were (73.08±8.47), (90.15±14.33), (31.64±6.55), and (19.23±3.05), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that age, education level, per capita monthly family income, tumor stage and treatment method were the influencing factors of decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that family function was negatively correlated with self-management efficacy ( P<0.05) and positively correlated with self-perceived burden and decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and self-management efficacy was negatively correlated with self-perceived burden and decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and self-perceived burden was positively correlated with decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and the differences of the above were statistically significant. Mediating effect analysis showed that family function positively predicted decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, with a direct effect of 0.117, accounting for 62.57% of the total effect. Self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden realized the mediating effect between family function and decision fatigue through three mediating pathways. Mediating pathway 1 was family function → self-management efficacy → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.032, which accounted for 17.11% of the total effect. Mediating pathway 2 was family function→ self-perceived burden → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.026, which accounted for 13.90% of the total effect. Mediating path 3 was family function → self-management efficacy → self-perceived burden → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.012, accounting for 6.42% of the total effect. The total mediating effect was 0.070, accounting for 37.43% of the total effect. Conclusions:Family function can not only directly influence decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, but also indirectly influence decision fatigue through the mediating role of self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden. Decision fatigue of gastric cancer patients could be reduced in the future by improving family function, increasing patients' self-management efficacy, and reducing their self-perceived burden.

Objective:To explore the trajectory and influencing factors of dietary adherence at different periods in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide a reference for dietary management at different periods in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 180 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM who attended Diabetes Clinics in three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province from May 2021 to May 2023 for the study. Patients were surveyed on the day of diagnosis (T1) and at 3 months (T2), 6 months (T3), and 12 months (T4) after diagnosis using General Information Questionnaire, Decisional Balance Scale for Diabetes Diet, Diabetes Distress Scale, Family APGAR Index, and Influence Factors of Dietary Behavior Compliance Scale for Patients with T2DM (T2DM-CFIDBS), respectively. Pearson correlation was used to test the correlation between dietary adherence, diabetes diet decisional balance, diabetes distress, and family care in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing dietary adherence at each time point in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. A total of 180 questionnaires were distributed, and 162 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 90.00% (162/180) .Results:CFIDBS scores of patients with newly diagnosed T2DM at the four time points were (69.14±9.97), (61.98±8.82), (60.09±8.97), and (63.29±9.98), respectively. Body mass index and diabetes distress had an impact on patients' dietary adherence at T1, T2, T3, and T4 ( P<0.05). Perceptual deficits had an impact on dietary adherence at T1, T2, and T3 ( P<0.05). Family care had an impact on dietary adherence at T1 and T2 ( P<0.05). Perceived benefit had an impact on dietary adherence only at the T3 ( P<0.05). Education level and work status only had an impact on dietary adherence at the T4 ( P<0.05). All of these differences were statistically significant. Conclusions:Dietary adherence in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM shows a trend of decreasing and then increasing over time, and there are differences in the influencing factors at different times. Healthcare professionals should pay attention to the trajectory and influencing factors of dietary adherence in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM, and develop targeted interventions to improve patients' dietary adherence and diabetes prognosis.
