OBJECTIVE To analyze the selection and rationales of comparators for pharmaceutical enterprises in their medical insurance access application， so as to provide a reference for promoting communication and consensus between enterprises and medical insurance authorities in this process. METHODS The application materials for drugs outside the catalogue that passed formal review published by the National Healthcare Security Administration from 2021 to 2025 were extracted， and then content analysis was used to systematically sort out relevant information of the declared drugs and comparators； the specific situations and rationales of pharmaceutical enterprises’ selection of comparators were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 1 341 declared drug documents were collected. Data analysis showed that 1 035 （77.18%） were submitted with positive comparators and 306 （22.82%） used blank comparators； 58 drugs （4.33%） took combination therapy as the reference， and 5 drugs （0.37%） referred to non-pharmacological （or non-single pharmacological） treatment regimens. Among competitive drugs declared by multiple enterprises， 50.00% of the enterprises submitted different comparators. A total of 4 basic conditions and 39 additional conditions were extracted as the rationales for selecting positive comparators. For blank comparators， 12 drug-related factors， 2 administrative factors， and 1 other factor were identified. More than 10% of the drugs did not state the rationale for comparator selection， and over 44% of drugs using blank comparators provided only one justification. CONCLUSIONS Pharmaceutical enterprises mainly select comparators based on their own interests in the medical insurance access application， and there are deficiencies in the adequacy and standardization of their selection basis and reasoning. It is recommended that enterprises follow the principled requirements of medical insurance authorities， and fully and normatively explain the reasons for selecting comparators in combination with the characteristics of their own products. Meanwhile， it is advisable to change the current open-ended statement form of selection reasons into a closed-ended answering mode， so as to highlight the priority of selection， standardize the declaration behavior of enterprises， and reduce communication divergences between the two parties.

Objective:To establish a classification system for the repair band in the subchondral bone origination point in MRI for traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and preliminarily explore the correlation between this classification and the progression of femoral head collapse.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 73 cases of traumatic ON-FH treated at the Quanzhou Orthopedic-traumatological hospital from January 2000 to December 2019. Among them, there were 46 males and 27 females with an average age of 34.9±8.3 years (range 19-55 years). Clinical and radiological data such as age, gender, side, fracture classification, reduction quality, JIC classification, and bone repair band (BRB) classification were recorded. The progression of traumatic ONFH was assessed using the ARCO staging system, with stages IIIA and IIIB defined as mild collapse and progressive collapse, respectively. The BRB classification was established based on MRI findings, and the inter- and intra-observer consistency of the BRB classification was analyzed using Kappa test. The correlation between the BRB classification and progressive femoral head collapse was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and binary variable Cox regression analysis.Results:According to the BRB classification, 73 cases were divided into type 1 with superficial lesion in 38.4%, type 2 with uncertain lesion in 21.9%, and type 3 with extensive lesion in 39.7%. The inter-observer consistency Kappa value for the BRB classification was 0.798, and the intra-observer consistency Kappa value was 0.896, indicating a high level of consistency. A follow-up of 73 cases (54.8±34.9 months, range 24-165 months) showed a significant correlation between the BRB classification and ARCO staging at the last follow-up (χ 2=37.556, P<0.001), with progression to stages IIIA and IIIB as follows: type 1 had 3 and 1 cases, type 2 had 4 and 1 cases, and type 3 had 14 and 12 cases, respectively. Using the occurrence of progressive collapse (stage IIIB) as the endpoint, the risk of progression to stage IIIB for type 2 was not statistically different from type 1 [ HR=1.766, 95% CI (0.465, 6.702), P=0.403]; the risk of progression to stage IIIB for type 3 was significantly higher than for type 1 [ HR=15.126, 95% CI (4.708, 48.592), P<0.001]. Conclusion:The BRB classification is closely related to the progression of traumatic ONFH and is an independent risk factor for predicting the occurrence of progressive collapse; this classification is helpful for early diagnosis and predicting the progression of collapse and treatment plan decision-making.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with perianal necrotizing fasciitis.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. Twenty patients with perianal necrotizing fasciitis who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University (hereinafter referred to as our department) from August 2013 to September 2023, including 19 males and 1 female, aged 24-74 (56±11) years. Based on the spreading route of perianal infection to the lower abdomen, the patients were divided into perianal-inguinal-lower abdominal wall group (12 cases) and perianal-pelvic cavity-retroperitoneal group (8 cases). The following clinical data were compared between the two groups of patients: general data, including gender, age, combined underlying diseases, blood glucose level and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score when admitted to our department, and laboratory risk indicator for necrotizing fasciitis (LRINEC) score when admitted to our department and at 14 d after admitted to our department; infection indicators when admitted to our department, including C-reactive protein level, white blood cell count, lymphocyte count, procalcitonin level, and lactic acid level; clinical outcome-related indicators, including time from onset to definite infection range, number of surgery, treatment in intensive care unit (ICU), length of hospital stay, treatment outcome, and recurrence of necrotizing fasciitis during follow-up; detection of pathogen and bacterial drug resistance in wound necrotic tissue specimen when admitted to our department.Results:Compared with those in perianal-inguinal-lower abdominal wall group, the APACHE Ⅱ score and lactic acid level when admitted to our department and LRINEC score at 14 d after admitted to our department (with t values of -5.98, -5.01, and -2.86, respectively, P<0.05) and ICU treatment ratio ( P<0.05) were significantly increased, the time from onset to definite infection range was significantly prolonged ( Z=-3.75, P<0.05), and the number of surgery was significantly increased ( Z=2.80, P<0.05) in patients in perianal-pelvic cavity-retroperitoneal group. There were no statistically significant differences in other data between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). Eighteen patients were cured, and no recurrence of perianal necrotizing fasciitis was observed during follow-up of 6 months in 18 cured patients. The main bacteria were Escherichia coliand Klebsiella pneumoniae, and the fungui were Aspergillus and Candida albicans detected in wound necrotic tissue specimens in two groups of patients when admitted to our department. The ratio of multiple drug resistance of bacteria in wound necrotic tissue specimens in perianal-pelvic cavity-retroperitoneal group of patients was significantly higher than that in perianal-inguinal-lower abdominal wall group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Perianal necrotizing fasciitis can spread to the lower abdomen through two routes: the perianal-inguinal-lower abdominal wall route and the perianal-pelvic cavity-retroperitoneal route. The latter is more insidious in disease progression and more challenging in treatment. Establishing a mechanism of multi-disciplinary team diagnosis and treatment can achieve the goal of early diagnosis and precise treatment of perianal necrotizing fasciitis.

Objective:To predict the risk of cryptogenic stroke (CS) patients with right-to-left shunt (RLS) by machine learning, and provide potential solutions for accurate and efficient prediction of CS.Methods:A retrospective analysis of clinical data on 289 subjects with positive RLS detected by contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler tests (c-TCD) treated in the Department of Neurology at Laoshan Campus, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, from January 2018 to September 2023, including demographic information, medical history, laboratory test indicators, diagnosis, and treatment.The dataset was randomly divided into a training set and a testing set by the machine learning function train_test_split(), with a ratio of 8∶2.Risk prediction models for CS in RLS subjects were constructed by algorithms such as Logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, extreme gradient boosting, artificial neural networks, gradient boosting, extra trees, and adaptive Boosting.The model performance was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC), area under curve (AUC), confusion matrix, precision, recall, accuracy, F1 score, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis.The optimal model was subjected to interpretability analysis by feature importance and SHAP values.The t-test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used for data analysis by SPSS 25.0 software.Delong test was used to compare the differences in AUC between the two models. Results:In 289 RLS subjects, there were 166 cases of CS (57.5%) and 123 cases of non-CS (42.5%).The statistical analysis results showed that blood biochemical indicators such as D-dimer, mean platelet volume, and fibrinogen in CS patients were higher than those in non-CS patients (all P<0.01).There were no statistically significant differences in variables between the training and testing sets(all P>0.05).Random forest model achieved the highest AUC (0.885), precision (0.806), recall (0.879), accuracy (0.810), and F1 score (0.841) for CS risk prediction in the testing set.The calibration curve showed that the random forest model was closest to the reference line, and the decision curve analysis indicated that it had a greater net benefit.The interpretability analysis revealed that high-risk factors included mean platelet volume, D-dimer, international normalized ratio, body mass index, and age. Conclusion:The random forest-based prediction tool exhibits excellent performance, demonstrating high accuracy in predicting CS risk in RLS population.

Objectives:To investigate the application value of laparoscopic double stapler firings and double stapling technique combined with rectal eversion and total extra-abdominal resection (LDER) in the anal preservation treatment of low rectal cancer.Methods:Inclusion criteria: (1) age was 18-70; (2) the distance of the lower tumor edge from the anal verge was 4-5 cm; (3) primary tumor with a diameter ≤3 cm; (4) preoperative staging of T1~2N1~2M0; (5) "difficult pelvis", defined as ischial tuberosity diameter<10 cm or body mass index>25 kg/m 2; (6) patients with strong intention for sphincter preservation; (7) no preoperative treatment (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, or immunotherapy); (8) no lateral lymph node enlargement; (9) no previous anorectal surgery; (10) patients with good basic condition who could tolerate surgery. Exclusion criteria: (1) previously suffered from malignant tumors of the digestive tract or currently suffering from malignant tumors out of the digestive tract; (2) patients with preoperative anal dysfunction (Wexner score ≥ 10), or fecal incontinence. The specific surgical steps are as follows: the distal end of the rectum was dissected to the level of the interspace between internal and external sphincters of anal canal. Five centimeters proximal to the tumor, the mesorectum was ligated, and a liner stapler was used to transect the rectum. The distal rectum with the tumor were then everted and extracted through the anus. The rectum was transected 0.5-1.0 cm distal to the tumor with a linear stapler. Full thickness suture was used to reinforce the stump of the rectum, which was then brought back into the pelvic cavity. Finally, an end-to-end anastomosis between the colon and the rectum was performed. A retrospective descriptive study was performed of the clinical and pathological data of 12 patients with T1-T2 stage low rectal cancer treated with LDER at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. Results:All 12 patients successfully completed LDER with sphincter preservation, without conversion to open surgery or changes in surgical approach. The median surgical time was 272 (155-320) minutes, with a median bleeding volume of 100 (50-200) mL. No protective stoma was performed, and all patients received R0 resection. The average hospital stay was 9 (7-15) days. There were no postoperative anastomotic leakage or perioperative deaths. All 12 patients received postoperative follow-up, with a median follow-up of 12 months (6-36 months) and a Wexner score of 8 (5-14) at 6 months postoperatively. There was no tumor recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up period.Conclusions:LDER is safe and effective for the treatment of low rectal cancer.

Objective: To understand the relationship between residential neighborhood green space and mental health of middle school students, so as to provide a theoretical basis for mental health promotion among of middle school students at the level of residential environment. Methods: From October to December 2023, 1 258 students from three junior high schools and two general high schools in Panlong, Wuhua, Chenggong, and Guandu districts of Kunming City were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method. Conducting onsite questionnaire survey using the Mental Health Inventroy of Middle School students, residential neighborhood green space were evaluated using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between as green space in residential neighborhoods and the mental health of middle school students. Results: The average mental health score of middle school students in Kunming was (2.02± 0.69 ), of which 447 (37.92%) had mild mental health problems, 107 (8.51%) had moderate mental health problems, and 12 ( 0.95% ) had more severe mental health problems. Mental health scores of middle school students varied significantly by gender, grade, and family income ( t/F =6.99, 7.15, 3.70, P <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that NDVI_250 m, NDVI_500 m, and NDVI_1 000 m were all negatively correlated with the total mental health scores of middle school students ( r =-0.07,-0.09, -0.10 , P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, grade, NDVI_250 m, NDVI_500 m, and NDVI_1 000 m were infuencing factors on the mental health of middle school students( B =0.25，0.05，-0.47，-0.67，-0.78, P <0.05). Conclusions Mental health of middle school students in Kunming is related to green space in different buffer zones around residences. The mental health education of middle school students should be strengthened, especially for girls and senior students, optimizing resources to reduce pressure, and improving the quality of green space in residential communities to improve the mental health of adolescents.

BACKGROUND:Compound Shengmai Chenggu capsule has good therapeutic effects on early steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head,but the exact mechanism of treatment is not fully understood. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of compound Shengmai Chenggu capsule on fucosyltransferase 8,osteogenic gene and Wnt/β-catenin in bone tissue of rats with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head. METHODS:Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into blank group,model group,low-,middle-,and high-dose drug groups(n=12 per group).In the latter four groups,animal models of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head were established by subcutaneous injection of imiquimod(once every 2 weeks,2 times in total)and gluteal muscle injection of methylprednisolone(once a week,4 times in total).The low-,middle-and high-dose drug groups were given 1.89,3.78 and 7.56 g/kg per day compound Shengmai Chenggu capsule solution by gavage respectively on the second day after the last modeling.The same amount of saline was given by gavage to the model group.Administration lasted 8 weeks.After the administration,micro-CT scan,histological staining,compression test,RT-qPCR and western blot were performed on the femoral head. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Micro-CT scan results showed that compared with the blank group,trabecular volume fraction,trabecular number and trabecular thickness were significantly decreased(P<0.05),while trabecular separation was increased in the model group(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the compound Shengmai Chenggu capsule could increase trabecular volume fraction,trabecular number and trabecular thickness(P<0.05),and decrease trabecular separation(P<0.05)in a dose-dependent manner.Hematoxylin-eosin staining results showed that compared with the model group,the rate of empty bone lacunae was reduced in a dose-dependent group in the low-,middle-,and high-dose compound Shengmai Chenggu capsule groups(P<0.05).Immunohistochemical staining results showed that compared with the blank group,the protein expression of fucosyltransferase 8,Runx2 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 was reduced in the model group(P<0.05);compared with the model group,the compound Shengmai Chenggu capsule increased the protein expression of fucosyltransferase 8,Runx2 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05).Results from the compression test showed that there was a dose-dependent increase in the maximum load and elastic modulus of the femoral head in the low-,middle-,and high-dose compound Shengmai Chenggu capsule groups compared with the model group(P<0.05).RT-qPCR and western blot results showed that the mRNA and protein expressions of fucosyltransferase 8,Runx2,alkaline phosphatase,osteocalcin,osteoblast-specific transcription factor and bone morphogenetic protein 2 were decreased in the model group compared with the blank group(P<0.05);compared with the model group,there was a dose-dependent increase in the mRNA and protein expressions of the above indicators in the low-,middle-,and high-dose compound Shengmai Chenggu capsule groups compared with the model group(P<0.05).Compared with the blank group,the mRNA and protein expression of Wnt2,low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 and β-catenin were decreased(P<0.05)and the mRNA and protein expressions of glycogen synthase kinase 3β were increased(P<0.05)in the model group;compared with the model group,there was a dose-dependent increase in the mRNA and protein expressions of Wnt2,low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 and β-catenin(P<0.05)but a dose-dependent decrease in the mRNA and protein expressions of lycogen synthase kinase 3β(P<0.05)in the low-,middle-,and high-dose compound Shengmai Chenggu capsule groups.To conclude,the mechanism by which the compound Shengmai Chenggu capsule treats steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head may activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway through the up-regulation of fucosyltransferase 8,thereby promoting bone formation.

BACKGROUND:With the increase of patients with cubital tunnel syndrome,ulnar groove plasty does not affect the normal anatomical structure and distribution of the ulnar nerve,which is one of the main surgical procedures for the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome.3D printing combined with ulnar groove plasty can more accurately position the expansion depth and width of the ulnar groove to avoid some surgical complications. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of 3D printing technology combined with ulnar groove plasty on nerve electrophysiology and prognosis in patients with cubital tunnel syndrome. METHODS:A total of 70 patients with moderate and severe cubital tunnel syndrome who were treated in Cangzhou Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital from March 2020 to March 2022 were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into two groups,with 35 cases in each group.The control group underwent traditional ulnar groove plasty.The observation group underwent 3D printing technology combined with ulnar groove plasty.The patients were followed up for 3 months.The clinical efficacy,latency,amplitude of compound muscle action potential of abductor pollicis brevis of the affected limb and ulnar nerve motor conduction velocity,grip strength on the affected side,pinch strength of the middle and thumb fingers,S-W monofilament of the little finger,two-point discrimination of the little finger,and Disabilities of the Arm,Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire score were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the control group(74%),the excellent and good rate was significantly higher in the observation group(91%)(P<0.05).(2)Compared with pre-treatment,the latency of compound muscle action potential of abductor pollicis brevis of affected limb was significantly shorter and the wave amplitude and ulnar nerve motor conduction velocity were significantly higher in the two groups after treatment.The latency was significantly shorter and the wave amplitude and ulnar nerve motor conduction velocity were significantly higher in the observation group than those in the control group(P<0.05).(3)Compared with pre-treatment,the grip strength,middle finger and thumb pinch strength of the affected side,S-W monofilament of the little finger and two-point discrimination of the little finger were significantly decreased in the two groups after treatment.The grip strength,middle finger and thumb pinch strength on the affected side were greater,S-W monofilament of the little finger and two-point discrimination of the little finger were significantly smaller in the observation group than those in the control group(P<0.05).(4)Compared with pre-treatment,the Disabilities of the Arm,Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire scores of the two groups were significantly reduced after treatment,and the Disabilities of the Arm,Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).(5)It is concluded that 3D printing technology combined with ulnar groove plasty in the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome can effectively improve its clinical efficacy,promote the neurophysiological recovery of patients,and enhance the function of fingers and upper limbs,which has high clinical application value.
