Objective To compare and analyze the changes in the use of lung cancer therapeutic drugs before and after the national initiation of health insurance negotiations, and to study the impact of a series of policies on the use of lung cancer drugs. Methods Descriptive statistical methods were used analyze the basic situation of lung cancer patients and the changes of corresponding therapeutic drugs in Peking University People's Hospital from 2014 to 2020, as well as to the hospital procurement data of lung cancer therapeutic drugs in the database of the Chinese Medicine Economic Information. Results From 2014 to 2020, the total cost per capita of lung cancer patients showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, increasing before the national drug negotiation and gradually decreasing after the negotiation. After 2017, the use of small ATC categories such as VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors increased significantly, along with a rise in the number of monoclonal antibody varieties. The DDDs of osimertinib, anlotinib, alectinib, crizotinib and other drugs in the medical insurance list increased significantly, and the average daily cost decreased significantly. Conclusion The number of hospitalization days for lung cancer patients had continued to shorten in recent years, and the structure of drug use had changed significantly. The adjustment of the medical insurance catalog had led to more innovative lung cancer drugs showing the trend of volume up and price down.
2.Analysis of Current Practices and Exploration of Alternative Technologies in Use of Laboratory Animals for Minimally Invasive Surgery Education and Training
Laboratory Animal and Comparative Medicine 2026;46(2):279-287
Currently, the rapid development of minimally invasive surgical techniques poses significant challenges to the traditional surgical education and training system. The teaching model relying on laboratory animals is facing the need for transformation due to ethical controversies, high costs, and limitations of the model. Through a combined approach of systematic literature analysis and summarization of practical experience at the Da Vinci Surgical Robot Training Center at the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, this study systematically evaluated the multidimensional efficacy of laboratory animals in training for the Da Vinci robot operating system and laparoscopic techniques. The results indicate that, under current technological conditions, laboratory animals—leveraging their advantages of authentic tissue tactile feedback, dynamic physiological responses, and the ability to be trained under complex surgical field exposure—remain the core modality for cultivating advanced surgical skills (such as vascular dissection and mobilization, organ suturing, etc.). Their irreplaceability lies primarily in key training aspects such as simulating intraoperative dynamic physiological responses and handling intraoperative emergencies. Based on interdisciplinary technical assessment and practical observation, the authors propose and construct an "Ethics-Technology Synergy" development framework. They further explore the innovative value of the virtual-real interaction mechanism in extended reality technology, the construction of pathological simulation platforms using organoid models, and the resource coordination mechanism of digital sharing platforms. Using application cases from the training center, the study verifies the potential of these technologies to form a "stepwise replacement" pathway for laboratory animals. It also highlights their key breakthroughs in standardized scenario replication, improved tactile simulation accuracy, and reduced laboratory animal usage. This study emphasizes that the transformation of the minimally invasive surgical education and training system is not only a technological innovation but also an advancement of ethical concepts. The "Ethics-Technology Synergy" pathway requires focusing on three key implementation areas: constructing a multi-modal hybrid training system from the perspective of technological integration; establishing a collaborative biological specimen sharing network from the perspective of resource management; and refining standards for assessing the necessity of animal use from the perspective of ethical practice. This provides an actionable pathway for building a new training paradigm that balances technical efficacy with ethical compliance, thereby promoting the transformation of surgical education towards precision and minimal harm.

To explore the correlation between MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism and hypertension, hyperhomocysteinemia(Hcy), and hyperlipidemia in the Tibetan population of Tibet. Using a cluster sampling method, participants from high-altitude regions including Ngari Prefecture, Lhasa City, and Nyingchi City in Tibet were enrolled. Differences in MTHFR C677T genotype distribution among individuals with hypertension, HHcy, and hyperlipidemia were analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression was performed to assess the association between these conditions and the TT genotype. A total of 574 eligible subjects were included, with a mean age of 40.64±12.67 years. Males accounted for 46.7%(268/574) and females 53.3%(306/574). Regional distribution was 34.8%(200/574) from Nyingchi City, 33.1%(190/574) from Lhasa City, and 32.1%(184/574) from Ngari Prefecture. Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 117.89±18.98 mm Hg and 79.74±14.88 mm Hg, respectively. The frequency of the TT genotype was significantly higher in the hypertension group than in the non-hypertension group(12.32% The MTHFR C677T TT genotype is significantly associated with hypertension and hyperhomocysteinemia in the Tibetan population, suggesting that this polymorphism may be a genetic risk factor for these diseases in high-altitude regions.

BackgroundFamily functioning is one of the factors influencing non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorders. Previous studies have treated family functioning as a unitary construct, which may obscure the differential impacts of specific dimensions on NSSI behaviors. ObjectiveTo explore the relationships between various dimensions of family functioning and NSSI behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorders, aiming to provide precise targets for family-based interventions for adolescents with depressive disorders who exhibit NSSI behaviors. MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 217 adolescent patients who were treated at the outpatient or inpatient department of The First Psychiatric Hospital of Harbin from January to July 2025 and met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorders as stipulated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) were included as the research subjects. Assessments included a self-designed questionnaire, the Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17), and the Family Assessment Device (FAD). Univariate Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the association between each dimension of family functioning and the NSSI behaviors, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to test the independent effect of each dimension of family functioning on the NSSI behaviors. ResultsA total of 204 cases (94.01%) of adolescent patients with depressive disorders completed the valid questionnaire survey. Among them, 134 cases (65.69%) exhibited NSSI behaviors (NSSI group), and 70 cases (34.31%) did not exhibit NSSI behaviors (non-NSSI group). Compared with the non-NSSI group, the NSSI group had a higher HAMD-17 score [(20.97±7.50) vs. (17.79±6.95), t=8.705, P=0.004], a higher FAD total score [(155.68±21.84) vs. (148.87±22.72), t=4.348, P=0.038], and a higher problem-solving dimension score [(2.54±0.49) vs. (2.34±0.51), t=7.399, P=0.007]. All the differences were statistically significant. The results of the Logistic regression analysis showed that the FAD total score (OR=1.014, 95% CI: 1.001–1.028, P=0.041) and the problem-solving dimension score (OR=2.241, 95% CI: 1.228–4.090, P=0.009) were both risk factors for NSSI behaviors. After adjusting for gender, age, residence, educational level, monthly family income, and whether being an only child, the correlation between the FAD total score and NSSI behaviors was not statistically significant (OR=1.010, 95% CI: 0.995–1.025, P=0.185), while the correlation between the FAD problem-solving dimension score and NSSI behaviors remained statistically significant (OR=2.000, 95% CI: 1.028–3.889, P=0.041). ConclusionImpaired problem-solving capacity within family functioning may constitute a risk factor for NSSI behaviors in adolescents with depressive disorders.

BACKGROUND:Lumbar degenerative disease is a disease of the musculoskeletal system that primarily affects the intervertebral structures,and the disease is treated with lumbar fusion and disc replacement.OBJECTIVE:To conduct comparative analysis of the differences between lumbar fusion,mechanical lumbar disc prosthesis replacement,and viscoelastic lumbar disc prosthesis replacement.METHODS:The computerized tomography images of a healthy adult were used to construct a finite element model of the L2-L5 normal lumbar spine with Mimic,Geomagic,and Ansys software.The equipment required for lumbar fusion and lumbar spine replacement was constructed using modeling software,and the L3-L4 segment of the lumbar spine was processed according to the surgical requirements for lumbar fusion and intervertebral disc replacement,creating the corresponding finite element model.Specific boundary conditions were applied to extract the mobility of each lumbar spine segment,the stresses on the neighboring intervertebral discs,and the stresses on the prosthesis lining.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the preoperative period,the maximum stress in the upper neighboring discs increased by 64.09%and 39.79%in the forward flexion and lateral bending states if the original mobility was maintained after lumbar fusion surgery.The maximum stress in the lower neighboring discs increased by 24.39%and 20.98%in forward flexion and lateral bending.This suggested that the upper adjacent discs would suffer greater stress changes than the lower adjacent discs during heavy physical labor.(2)Disc replacement did not show significant changes in adjacent disc stress,with mechanical prosthesis replacement slightly reducing adjacent disc stress,while viscoelastic prosthesis replacement was more in line with the biological properties of the disc,with maximum adjacent disc stress similar to that of the preoperative period.(3)In terms of stability,the mechanical prosthesis replacement segment showed a 51.67%increase in range of motion in the lateral bending state and a 53.27%increase in range of motion in the posterior extension state,whereas the viscoelastic prosthesis was better able to maintain mobility in the replacement segment.(4)In addition,the stresses in the liner of the mechanical prosthesis were mainly concentrated in the edge region,and this stress distribution may lead to edge wear and thus affect the service life of the prosthesis.
