OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of fluzoparib monotherapy versus combination with apatinib as second-line or later-line treatment for patients with germline BRCA1 / 2 -mutated human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer, from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system. METHODS Based on the FABULOUS trial, a partitioned survival model was developed to simulate disease progression, with a cycle length of 21 days and a time horizon of 10 years. A discount rate of 4.5% per annum was applied. Model outputs included total costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Cost-utility analysis was conducted by comparing the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) between the two regimens against a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold set at twice China’s per capita gross domestic product in 2025 (199 330 yuan/QALY). Robustness of the base-case results was tested through one-way sensitivity analysis, probabilistic sensitivity analysis, and scenario analyses. RESULTS For patients with germline BRCA1/2 -mutated HER2- metastatic breast cancer, fluzoparib combination with apatinib provided greater health benefits (1.91 QALYs vs. 1.69 QALYs) and incurred lower total costs (1 634 119.3 yuan vs. 1 855 264.2 yuan) compared with fluzoparib monotherapy, thus representing a dominant strategy. One-way sensitivity and probabilistic sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the base-case findings. Scenario analyses showed that the conclusion remained robust when the time horizon was shortened to 5 years or when the discount rate was changed to 3%; however, the results reversed when the extrapolation distribution model was altered. CONCLUSIONS Under the current WTP threshold, compared with fluzoparib monotherapy, the combination of fluzoparib and apatinib is more cost-effective as a second-line or later-line treatment for Chinese patients with germline BRCA1 / 2 -mutated HER2- metastatic breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE To explore a synergistic medication strategy integrating stage-specific modifications of Bushen huoxue decoction with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). METHODS The connotation of Academician Tong Xiaolin’s “state-target differentiation and treatment” theory and the disease stage characteristics of POI were summarized. The latent stage, subclinical stage, clinical stage and exhaustion stage of POI were classified into corresponding core pathogenesis “states” and key objective indicator “targets”. Taking Bushen huoxue decoction as the basic prescription, its staged modification scheme and its sequential combination with HRT were analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The four stages of POI correspond to four pathogenic states respectively: kidney yin deficiency, kidney deficiency and blood stasis, heart-kidney disharmony, and deficiency of both yin and yang. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC) and Kupperman score were taken as the evaluation targets of staging. Combined with the “state-target” characteristics of each stage, a medication principle based on Bushen huoxue decoction with syndrome differentiation modification and stage-adjusted administration was established: traditional Chinese medicine dominates in the latent stage, a sequential collaborative regimen is adopted in the subclinical stage, HRT is dominant supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine in the clinical stage, and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine is applied to consolidate the root cause in the exhaustion stage.

OBJECTIVE To further standardize the technical operations and management processes throughout therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), clarify the clinical value of TDM implementation, improve the scientific validity and reliability of monitoring results, and provide a solid reference basis for the formulation and optimization of clinical individualized precision dosing regimens. METHODS The Guidelines for the Management of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring were formulated in accordance with the latest definition of guidelines by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies and the standard guideline development methodology of the World Health Organization, and in compliance with the requirements of the appraisal of guidelines for research and evaluation. A modified Delphi method was adopted to establish the research question system; evidence-based medicine research methods were applied to systematically search multiple databases to screen the latest and most comprehensive evidence. Evidence was graded and evaluated based on the evidence grading system of the Chinese Evidence-Based Medicine Center, and the grading criteria for recommendation strength from the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine were used to determine the recommendation strength. The recommendation opinions were formed through multidisciplinary expert consensus. RESULTS The Guidelines for the Management of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring cover four core modules, including TDM application indications, technical procedures, result interpretation and clinical application, and quality control, involving 18 primary research questions, 34 secondary research questions, and yield 82 recommendations. CONCLUSIONS The guidelines systematically standardize the key technical links and management requirements of the whole TDM process, provide scientific and operable standardized tools, help improve the standardization level of TDM work, promote the translation of monitoring results into clinical decision-making, and provide strong support for precision personalized medicine and ensuring the safety and rationality of medication use.

Gastrointestinal polyposis syndromes are primarily characterized by multiple polyps in the gastrointestinal tract, with their pathogenic mechanisms largely related to genetic factors and involving multiple signaling pathways. Adenomatous polyposis syndromes are mainly associated with APC gene variants, while some cases may arise from MUTYH gene variants. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is primarily linked to STK11 gene variants. Juvenile polyposis syndrome is mainly associated with variants in the SMAD4 and BMPR1A genes. PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome is predominantly caused by PTEN gene variants. Hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome is primarily related to variants of the GREM1 and BMPR1A genes. This article systematically summarizes the advance in genetics research on Gastrointestinal polyposis syndromes to enhance clinicians′ understanding of these diseases and improve their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
