Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease is a common chronic liver disease worldwide, and its incidence rate continues to rise. The traditional “two-hit” theory has gradually been replaced by the “multiple-hit” hypothesis, which emphasizes the synergistic effect of multiple pathogenic factors. Necroptosis is an inflammatory form of death with both the morphological characteristics of necrosis and the signaling mechanism of apoptosis, and the core of necroptosis lies in the receptor-interacting protein kinase 1-receptor-interacting protein kinase 3-mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase signaling axis. This pathway directly leads to the death of hepatocytes, and it triggers an inflammatory response and promotes the fibrosis process by releasing damage-associated molecular patterns; the pathway is also closely associated with the metabolic reprogramming of the liver. This review summarizes the activation mechanism of necroptosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, analyzes its effect on liver inflammation, fibrosis, and metabolism, and explores its therapeutic strategies and application prospects.
2.Methods and Challenges of Quality-adjusted Price Index for Health Services
Chinese Health Economics 2025;44(8):67-70
Health-care expenditure adjusted by the health-care service price index is of great significance in accurately reflecting changes in indicators related to health expenditure,and in setting and adjusting the prices of health services.At present,there is no suitable quality-adjusted price index for medical services to deflate indicators related to health-care expenditure in China.It mainly introduces the Hedonic Price Model,the production cost method,and the expert method for the quality-adjusted health service price index,and provides references and suggestions for the quality-adjusted health service prices index in China.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor tablets produced by Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (the generic drug) and ticagrelor tablets produced by AstraZeneca Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (the original drug) in antiplatelet therapy.Methods:The study design was a retrospective cohort study. The subjects were patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and postoperative antiplatelet therapy with ticagrelor tablets at First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University during January 2020 to July 2021. Through the hospital electronic medical record system, relevant clinical data of patients (age, gender, comorbidities, blood lipid level on admission, PCI indications, antiplatelet treatment regimen, efficacy and safety assessment endpoint events within 12 months of treatment, etc.) were collected. The patients were divided into the generic drug group and the original drug group. To exclude confounders, propensity score matching (PSM) method was used. The efficacy evaluation index was the incidence of the primary endpoint events (cardiogenic death, stroke, target revascularization, recurrent infarction) and secondary endpoint events (all-cause mortality, peripheral artery occlusion, stent thrombosis, angina attacks) within 12 months of treatment. The safety evaluation index was the incidence of bleeding event within 12 months of treatment.Results:A total of 1 486 patients were included in this study, including 734 in the generic drug group and 752 in the original drug group. The proportion of women and unstable angina, and the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were higher than those in the original drug group (all P<0.05). The proportion of patients with hyperlipidemia and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were lower than those in the original drug group (both P<0.05). After PSM, 690 patients were enrolled in the generic drug group and 690 patients in the original drug group (all P>0.05). No differences in the comparison of clinical features between the 2 groups was significant (all P>0.05). No differences in the incidences of primary endpoints, secondary endpoints, and bleeding events between the 2 groups was significant before and after PSM [before PSM: 12.1%(89/734) vs. 10.9%(82/752), 10.8%(79/734) vs. 8.4%(63/752), 0.3%(2/734) vs. 0.5%(4/752); after PSM: 12.6%(87/690) vs. 12.3%(85/690), 11.0%(76/690) vs. 8.3%(57/690), 0.3%(2/690) vs. 0.4%(3/690); all P>0.05]. No death occurred in patients of both groups. Bleeding is predominantly characterized by epistaxis and subcutaneous petechiae, which did not lead to interruption of antiplatelet therapy. Conclusion:The efficacy and safety of ticagrelor tablets produced by Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. for antiplatelet therapy in ACS patients after PCI surgery were basically the same as those of the original drug.
