OBJECTIVE To conduct rapid health technology assessment (HTA) of ulinastatin (UTI), and to evaluate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of UTI in the treatment of acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang database, CBM and official websites of HTA institutions, the systematic review (SR)/meta-analysis, economic evaluation and HTA reports of UTI in the treatment of AP were collected from the inception to Apr. 2024. Two researchers independently conducted screening, quality evaluation and data extraction according to the admission and exclusion criteria, and descriptive analysis was adopted to analyze and summarize the data. RESULTS A total of 19 studies were included, involving 15 SR/meta-analysis and 4 economic studies, and no HTA report was retrieved. In the treatment of AP, UTI showed clear advantages over conventional treatment alone in terms of improving the overall effective rate, shortening the recovery time of amylase, reducing the time required to relieve abdominal pain and distension, lowering the mortality rate, and decreasing the average hospital stay. Compared to other positive drugs (carbendate mesylate, octreotide, somatostatin, etc.), its efficacy is similar, with a favorable safety profile. As far as the current research was concerned, UTI had obvious economic advantages over other positive drugs. CONCLUSIONS UTI is safe and effective in the treatment of AP, and has economic advantages.

Background::Ubiquitination plays an essential role in many biological processes, including viral infection, and can be reversed by deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). Although some studies discovered that DUBs inhibit or enhance viral infection by various mechanisms, there is lack of information on the role of DUBs in virus regulation, which needs to be further investigated.Methods::Immunoblotting, real-time polymerase chain reaction, in vivo/ in vitro deubiquitination, protein immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and co-localization biological techniques were employed to examine the effect of ubiquitin-specific protease 3 (USP3) on APOBEC3G (A3G) stability and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication. To analyse the relationship between USP3 and HIV disease progression, we recruited 20 HIV-infected patients to detect the levels of USP3 and A3G in peripheral blood and analysed their correlation with CD4 + T-cell counts. Correlation was estimated by Pearson correlation coefficients (for parametric data). Results::The results demonstrated that USP3 specifically inhibits HIV-1 replication in an A3G-dependent manner. Further investigation found that USP3 stabilized 90% to 95% of A3G expression by deubiquitinating Vif-mediated polyubiquitination and blocking its degradation in an enzyme-dependent manner. It also enhances the A3G messenger RNA (mRNA) level by binding to A3G mRNA and stabilizing it in an enzyme-independent manner. Moreover, USP3 expression was positively correlated with A3G expression ( r= 0.5110) and CD4 + T-cell counts ( r= 0.5083) in HIV-1-infected patients. Conclusions::USP3 restricts HIV-1 viral infections by increasing the expression of the antiviral factor A3G. Therefore, USP3 may be an important target for drug development and serve as a novel therapeutic strategy against viral infections.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of Changsulin ? with Lantus ? in treating patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods:This was a phase Ⅲ, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, active-controlled clinical trial. A total of 578 participants with T2DM inadequately controlled on oral hypoglycemic agents were randomized 3∶1 to Changsulin ? or Lantus ? treatment for 24 weeks. The efficacy measures included changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2h postprandial plasma glucose (2hPG), 8-point self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) profiles from baseline, and proportions of subjects achieving targets of HbA1c and FPG. The safety outcomes included rates of hypoglycemia, adverse events (AEs) and anti-insulin glargine antibody. Results:After 24 weeks of treatment, mean HbAlc decreased 1.16% and 1.25%, FPG decreased 3.05 mmol/L and 2.90 mmol/L, 2hPG decreased 2.49 mmol/L and 2.38 mmol/L in Changsulin ? and in Lantus ?, respectively. No significant differences could be viewed in above parameters between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were also no significant differences between Changsulin ? and Lantus ? in 8-point SMBG profiles from baseline and proportions of subjects achieving the targets of HbA1c and FPG (all P>0.05). The rates of total hypoglycemia (38.00% and 39.01% for Changsulin ? and Lantus ?, respectively) and nocturnal hypoglycemia (17.25% and 16.31% for Changsulin ? and Lantus ?, respectively) were similar between the two groups (all P>0.05). Most of the hypoglycemia events were asymptomatic, and no severe hypoglycemia were found in both groups. No differences were observed in rates of AEs (61.77% vs.52.48%) and anti-insulin glargine antibody (after 24 weeks of treatment, 6.91% vs.3.65%) between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Changsulin ? shows similar efficacy and safety profiles compared with Lantus ? and Changsulin ? treatment was well tolerated in patients with T2DM.

Objective:To explore the impact of different family management patterns on the family resilience of children with brain tumors.Methods:A total of 210 parents of children with postoperative brain tumors in 2 tertiary Grade A pediatric hospitals were investigated by the general information questionnaire, family management measure (FaMM) and family resilience rating scale.SPSS 24.0 was used for cluster analysis.Results:(1) Among the scores of FaMM, child identity, condition management ability and parental mutuality were significantly positively correlated with family resilience ( r=0.312, r=0.470, r=0.391, all P<0.05), while view of condition impact, condition management difficulty and condition management effort were negatively correlated with family resilience ( r=-0.346, r=-0.177, r=-0.348, all P<0.05). (2) Family management patterns could be divided into four categories: burden managing (22.9%), effective managing (24.8%), poor managing (28.6%) and tacit managing (23.8%). (3) Family resilience scores of the four patterns were (197.21±20.08), (205.92±14.25), (181.47±18.13) and (198.06±17.08), and their differences were statistically significant ( F=19.498, P<0.01). Conclusion:The family resilience level of children with brain tumor is associated with different family management patterns.Therefore, effective strategies according to different family characteristics should be developed to improve family resilience level.
