OBJECTIVE To assess the long-term cost-effectiveness of five glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists （GLP- 1RAs） in the treatment of poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） treated with metformin. METHODS Baseline data from patients in previously published meta-analysis and included randomized controlled trials （RCTs） were extracted to predict survival， long-term efficacy， and costs for each group using the United Kingdom prospective diabetes study outcome model 2.1. The cost-effectiveness of 5 GLP-1RAs （liraglutide， lixisenatide， exenatide， dulaglutide， and semaglutide） was analyzed by cost- utility analysis. Sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were also performed to verify the uncertainty of basic analysis results. RESULTS A total of 21 RCTs with 6 796 patients were included. Survival analysis curves showed the superiority of semaglutide in reducing the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and dulaglutide in reducing the risk of all-cause mortality over other GLP- 1RAs. The cost-utility analysis showed that the five drugs were economically superior to inferior in the order of lixisenatide， semaglutide， exenatide， dulaglutide， and liraglutide； one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses indicated that the results were robust. The scenario analysis results indicated that the price of semaglutide should decrease by at least 54.64% to 369.21 yuan， which is cost-effectiveness compared to lixisenatide. CONCLUSIONS For T2DM patients in China with poor glycemic control after treatment with metformin， lixisenatide and semaglutide may be considered as the preferred regimen.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. METHODS The data of RATIONALE-305 study and related literature were used to establish a partitioned survival model from the perspective of China’s health system. The cycle was 3 weeks， the simulation time was set as 10 years， and the discount rate was 5%. The quality-adjusted life years （QALYs） were used as the health outcome indicator to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy versus placebo combined with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma， and one-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were also conducted. RESULTS The base analysis showed that the patients received more 0.268 QALYs with tislelizumab plus chemotherapy， compared with placebo plus chemotherapy， but the cost increased by 70 404.81 yuan with an incremental cost- effectiveness ratio （ICER） of 262 431.62 yuan/QALY， which was less than three times China’s gross domestic product （GDP） per capita in 2023 as the willingness-to-pay （WTP） threshold （268 074 yuan/QALY）. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that the efficacy value of progress free survive and the price of tislelizumab had a greater impact on the ICER value. The results of probability sensitivity analysis showed that when the WTP threshold was 3 times China’s GDP per capita in 2023， the probability of tislelizumab being cost-effective was 53.3%. CONCLUSIONS When the WTP threshold is 3 times China’s GDP per capita in 2023， tislelizumab plus chemotherapy is cost-effective for first-line treatment of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma， compared with placebo plus chemotherapy.

Objective To explore the value of blood inflammatory load in predicting overall survival of elderly patients with epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC).Methods Elderly patients with EOC were selected,and their clinical data and peripheral blood parameters were collected.We constructed an inflammation-related blood scoring system using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis.We used Cox proportional hazards analysis to identify the independent prognostic factors.A nomogram model was constructed based on independent prognostic factors,and the receiver operating characteristic curve,C-index,and calibration curve were used to evaluate the model.Results Patients with high blood inflammatory load had worse prognosis(P=0.002).Compared with the low inflammatory load group,patients with high inflammatory load had later clinical stages and larger ascites volume(P<0.05).Cox regression analysis showed that ACCI,CA125,residual lesions,and blood score were independent factors affecting overall survival(P<0.05).Conclusion The blood inflammatory load is the biomarker for the prognosis of elderly patients with EOC.Scoring the inflammatory load in the blood can assist in efficacy monitoring and treatment intervention of ovarian cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of omalizumab in the treatment of severe allergic asthma from the perspective of healthcare providers in China. METHODS Based on the data from an international multicenter study of omalizumab in the treatment of severe allergic asthma， the Markov model was constructed according to the progression of severe allergic asthma， with a cycle of 4 weeks. Long-term health outcomes and costs of omalizumab combined with standard of care（SoC） regimen versus SoC regimen in the treatment of severe allergic asthma were simulated by using quality-adjusted life years （QALYs） and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio（ICER） as output indexes. One-way sensitivity analysis， probabilistic sensitivity analysis， and scenario analysis were performed to test the robustness of the results. RESULTS Compared with the SoC regimen， ICER for the omalizumab combined with SoC regimen was 107 723.05 yuan/QALY， which was less than the willingness-to-pay（WTP） threshold （268 074 yuan/QALY） calculated by three times per capita gross domestic product（GDP） in China in 2023. The one-way sensitivity analysis showed that the baseline serum level of immunoglobulin E had the greatest impact on the robustness of the model. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the omalizumab+SoC regimen had a 93.00% probability of being cost- effective. The scenario analysis showed that in the real world， the billing method of omalizumab based on specifications rather than actual usage may increase ICER. CONCLUSIONS Compared with the SoC regimen， the combination of omalizumab and SoC regimen for treating severe allergic asthma is cost-effective， with a WTP threshold of three times China’s per capita GDP

Purpose To analyze the precursor lesions,clinicopathological features and prognosis of mucinous carcinoma(MC).Methods A total of 303 MC cases diagnosed by surgi-cal specimens were included,including 193 pure mucinous car-cinomas(PMC)and 110 mixed mucinous carcinomas(MMC).PMC included 163 cases of type A(hypocellular type)and 30 cases of type B(hypercellular type).The histomorphological characteristics,surrounding breast tissue morphology,and im-mune markers were evaluated to analyze the clinicopathological features related to MC precursor lesions and prognosis.Results The median age at diagnosis of MC was 50 years,and the me-dian tumor size was 2.5 cm.Compared to PMC,MMC had more lymph node(LN)involvement,more grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ and Ki67＞20％tumors(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in tumor size,LN involvement and clinical stage between type A and type B PMC.55 cases of MC(49 PMC and 6 MMC)with precursor lesions of mucocoele-like lesions(MLL)were all grade 1 to 2,most of them(54/55,98.2％)were T1-T2,and the proportions of MC component in all 6 MMCs were all ≥ 50％.There were 119 cases of MC whose precursor lesions were ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS),of which 28.6％of cases(34/119)had LN involvement,and 16.8％(20/119)of cases showed high proliferative activity(Ki67＞20％).The precursor lesions of MC in 16 cases were solid papillary carcinoma(SPC)in situ,inclu-ding 7 cases of type BPMC and 9 cases of MMC.The median age of these patients was 67 years and no recurrence or metastasis was observed during follow-up.The disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS)of the 303 cases of MC was 93.5％and 98.6％,respectively.PMC had a better prognosis than MMC(DFS:95.2％vs.90.6％;OS:99.5％vs.97.2％),but there was no significant difference between type A and type B PMC.The prognosis of patients with LN involvement and clinical stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ was worse(P＜0.05).Conclusion MC of the breast is a kind of heterogeneous malignant tumors.Our findings support that MC with specific precursor lesions have different ev-olutionary pathways,that MC with precursor lesions of MLL and SPC have a good prognosis,and MC associated with high-grade DCIS are more aggressive.LN involvement,higher clinical grade,and younger age are associated with poor prognosis.Focu-sing on precursor lesions and high risk clinicopathological fea-tures can contribute to providing more effective treatments for these patients.

Objective: To understand the incidence and mortality of drowning and secular trend among children aged 0-14 from 1990 to 2019 in China, so as to provide reference for drowning intervention among children in China. Methods: Based on data of drowning incidence and death in 0-14 years old children in China in 1990-2019 years Global Burden of Disease (GBD 2019) database, the standardized rate was calculated by the world standard population, and the trend of incidence rate and mortality rate was fitted by Joinpoint regression model respectively. Results: From 1990 to 2019, the overall incidence of drowning among children aged 0-14 years in China decreased from 37.17/100 000 to 12.54/100 000, a relative decrease of 66.26%; the standardized incidence rate decreased from 21.78/100 000 to 14.98/100 000, a relative decrease of 31.22%. The incidence rate and standardized incidence rate of drowning in children showed an increasing after decreasing trend, with decreasing mortality and standardized mortality rate. Joinpoint regression showed that the incidence rate of standardized AAPC for child drowning was -1.3, -2.5 for males and 0 for females. The overall standardized mortality rate of drowning was -3.9, male was -3.6, female was about -4.5 , the trend changes were statistically significant ( P <0.05). The incidence rate and mortality rate of male were higher than that of female, and there was significant difference between male and female groups ( P <0.05). Conclusion Significant progress has been made in child drowning prevention and control, with substantial decreasing in the incidence rate of child drowning. However, considering recent slight increase in drowning incidence, effective measures should be developmed including risk factors, vulnerable population to further control the incidence and mortality of child drowning.

Many people affected by fragile X syndrome (FXS) and autism spectrum disorders have sensory processing deficits, such as hypersensitivity to auditory, tactile, and visual stimuli. Like FXS in humans, loss of Fmr1 in rodents also cause sensory, behavioral, and cognitive deficits. However, the neural mechanisms underlying sensory impairment, especially vision impairment, remain unclear. It remains elusive whether the visual processing deficits originate from corrupted inputs, impaired perception in the primary sensory cortex, or altered integration in the higher cortex, and there is no effective treatment. In this study, we used a genetic knockout mouse model (Fmr1^KO), in vivo imaging, and behavioral measurements to show that the loss of Fmr1 impaired signal processing in the primary visual cortex (V1). Specifically, Fmr1^KO mice showed enhanced responses to low-intensity stimuli but normal responses to high-intensity stimuli. This abnormality was accompanied by enhancements in local network connectivity in V1 microcircuits and increased dendritic complexity of V1 neurons. These effects were ameliorated by the acute application of GABA_A receptor activators, which enhanced the activity of inhibitory neurons, or by reintroducing Fmr1 gene expression in knockout V1 neurons in both juvenile and young-adult mice. Overall, V1 plays an important role in the visual abnormalities of Fmr1^KO mice and it could be possible to rescue the sensory disturbances in developed FXS and autism patients.
