Objective:To compare minimally invasive surgery with traditional open surgery, analyze the current application status of health economic evaluations in the treatment of digestive tract cancers, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer by minimally invasive surgery and provide evidence for the rational selection of clinical treatment, alleviation of disease-related economic burdens, and rational allocation of healthcare resources.Methods:By using five databases, i.e. China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, and Embase, a database was established to retrieve all the papers about health economic studies of minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer published until December 31, 2023. Literature was analyzed by using software NoteExpress 3.8, and data were processed using Excel 2021. The quality of included papers was evaluated using the CHEERS 2022 checklist, and Meta-analysis was conducted by using software Stata 17.0.Results:A total of 10 919 relevant papers were retrieved, and 59 studies were included. Only 14 studies (23.7%) used standard health economic evaluation methods. Meta-analysis results revealed no significant differences in direct medical expenditure and total expenditure between minimally invasive surgery and open surgery. However, the expenditure for minimally invasive surgery exhibited a significant increase [mean difference ( MD)=5 973.12 yuan, P<0.001], while hospital stay and indirect expenditure significantly decreased ( MD: -4.85 days and -733.79 yuan, P<0.001). In China, for gastric cancer, the direct medical expenditure of endoscopic surgery was lower than that of open surgery ( MD=-33 000.00 yuan) with no significant difference ( P<0.001). In colorectal cancer cases, the direct medical and surgical expenditures for laparoscopic surgery were higher than those for open surgery ( MD: 4 277.94 yuan and 4 267.80 yuan, P<0.001), while the indirect and total medical expenditures decreased ( MD: -768.34 yuan and -159.10 yuan). Hospital stays in patients who had minimally invasive surgery for all three types of cancer were shorter than those who had open surgery ( P<0.001). Conclusions:In the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, compared with open surgery, minimally invasive surgery shows higher expenditure, but has advantages, such as shorter hospital stay and lower indirect expenditure, and there were no significant differences in direct medical and total expenditures between the two approaches. When conducting health economic evaluation, factors such as postoperative complications, hospital stay, and patient's economic status should be considered for their impact on total medical expenditure. It is necessary to pay attention to the application of health economic evaluations in healthcare decision-making.

BACKGROUND: P16 inactivation is frequently accompanied by telomerase reverse transcriptase ( TERT ) amplification in human cancer genomes. P16 inactivation by DNA methylation often occurs automatically during immortalization of normal cells by TERT . However, direct evidence remains to be obtained to support the causal effect of epigenetic changes, such as P16 methylation, on cancer development. This study aimed to provide experimental evidence that P16 methylation directly drives cancer development. METHODS: A zinc finger protein-based P16 -specific DNA methyltransferase (P16-Dnmt) vector containing a "Tet-On" switch was used to induce extensive methylation of P16 CpG islands in normal human fibroblast CCD-18Co cells. Battery assays were used to evaluate cell immortalization and transformation throughout their lifespan. Cell subcloning and DNA barcoding were used to track the diversity of cell evolution. RESULTS: Leaking P16-Dnmt expression (without doxycycline-induction) could specifically inactivate P16 expression by DNA methylation. P16 methylation only promoted proliferation and prolonged lifespan but did not induce immortalization of CCD-18Co cells. Notably, cell immortalization, loss of contact inhibition, and anchorage-independent growth were always prevalent in P16-Dnmt&TERT cells, indicating cell transformation. In contrast, almost all TERT cells died in the replicative crisis. Only a few TERT cells recovered from the crisis, in which spontaneous P16 inactivation by DNA methylation occurred. Furthermore, the subclone formation capacity of P16-Dnmt&TERT cells was two-fold that of TERT cells. DNA barcoding analysis showed that the diversity of the P16-Dnmt&TERT cell population was much greater than that of the TERT cell population. CONCLUSION P16 methylation drives TERT -mediated immortalization and transformation of normal human cells that may contribute to cancer development.

Objective:To explore the application effect of pelvic floor outpatient intervention during pregnancy on vaginal delivery of full-term primiparous women.Methods:Single birth primipara who were willing to establish a card and have a desire to give birth naturally in the First People's Hospital of Longquanyi District from January 2021 to December 2021 were divided into odd and even number groups according to the order of filing:the odd group received routine obstetric outpatient management and pelvic floor outpatient intervention(Kegel exercise joint perineum massage)in 200 cases(research group),and even number group received routine obstetric outpatient management in 200 cases(control group).The incidence of vaginitis,cesarean section rate,vaginal delivery rate,obstetric laceration,vaginal midwifery rate,perineal incision,delivery outcome and the length of perineal body and reproductive hiatus before and 42 days after delivery,vaginal width andother vaginal delivery complications(urina-ry retention and puerperal hemorrhoids)were compared between the two groups.Results:87 cases were includ-ed in the final study group,while 104 cases were included in the control group.The perineal incision rate,perineal integrity rate,vaginal midwifery rate,l degree and Ⅱ degree perineal laceration rate,postpartum hemorrhage in the study group were better than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The length of reproductive hiatus 42 days after delivery in the study group was shorter compared with that in the control group(P＜0.05).There were no signifi-cant differences in the incidence of vaginitis,cesarean section rate,time of the second stage of labor,vaginal wall laceration rate,Apgar score of newborns neonatal birth trauma rate,urinary retention,puerperal hemorrhoids,post-partum vaginal width and perineal body length between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusions:Pelvic floor outpa-tient intervention during pregnancy can reduce the harm caused by vaginal delivery in full-term primiparas to a cer-tain extent,and does not increase the incidence of neonatal delivery complications,it is worthy of clinical promotion.
