Objective:Drawing upon behavioral economics theory,it aims to elucidate the irrational decision-making mechanisms and systematic governance strategies driving low-value care in oncology,optimize healthcare resource allocation and enhance service quality.Methods:Centered on the dual-system theory framework,the behavioral economics principles of loss aversion,anchoring effects,and intertemporal choice are integrated to develop a physician-patient shared decision-making model spanning the entire cancer care continuum(screening,diagnosis,treatment,rehabilitation).Results:Low-value oncology care are jointly driven by physicians' defensive psychology,patients'loss aversion preferences,and socio-cultural pressures.Conclusion:Multidimensional interventions,such as predefining high-value care pathways,establishing negative lists to constrain low-value supply,reforming payment mechanisms,and implementing targeted health education,can effectively disrupt the"cognitivebias-behavioral inertia"loop and improve the efficiency of resource allocation in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

The microstructures of pharmaceutical preparations play a pivotal role in determining their critical quality attributes(CQAs),such as drug release,content uniformity,and stability,which greatly impact the safety and efficacy of drugs.Unlike the inherent molecular structures of active pharmaceutical in-gredients(APIs)and excipients,the microstructures of pharmaceutical preparations are developed during the formulation process,presenting unique analytical challenges.In this review,we primarily focus on presenting the research methods used to elucidate the microstructures of pharmaceutical preparations,including X-ray imaging(XRI),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),atomic force microscopy(AFM),Raman spectroscopy,infrared(IR)spectroscopy,and rheometer technology.Subse-quently,we highlight the applications,advantages,and limitations of these methods.Finally,we discuss the current challenges and future perspectives in this field.This review aims to provide a comprehensive reference for understanding the microstructures of pharmaceutical preparations,offering new insights and potential advancements in their development.

Objective:To compare suture-button, absorbable screws (AS), and metal screws (MS) in the fixation of ankle fracture complicated with distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 71 patients with ankle fracture and distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury who had been treated at Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Guangzhou Orthopedics Hospital from February 2020 to February 2023. There were 27 males and 44 females with an age of (49.6±10.3) years. The patients were assigned into 3 groups according to different treatment methods: a suture-button group in which 32 cases were treated with suture-button, an AS group in which 24 cases were treated with AS, and a MS group in which 15 cases were treated with MS to be removed at 8 to 12 weeks after operation. The 3 groups were compared in terms of intraoperative blood loss, operation time, and ankle range of motion, tibiofibular clear space (TFCS), and tibio-fibular overlap (TFOL) at the last follow-up, as well as American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scores and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores at 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 3 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, operation time, ankle range of motion, TFCS or TFOL between the 3 groups ( P>0.05). TFCS and TFOL at the last follow-up in all patients were significantly improved compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scores and VAS pain scores in the suture-button group and the AS group at 3 months after operation were significantly better than those in the MS group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score or VAS pain score between the 3 groups at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). In all patients, the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score and VAS pain score at the last follow-up were significantly better than those at 3 months after operation which were significantly better than those before operation ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In the fixation of ankle fracture complicated with distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury, suture-button, AS and MS can all achieve definite clinical efficacy. As fixation with MS requires secondary surgical removal, its early functional score and pain score may be relatively poorer.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of defensive medicine among physicians in public hospitals in China and the impact of physicians'adverse medical events experiences.Methods Data were collected from 15 secondary or tertiary public hospitals in the eight cities in 2019 using convenience sampling method.Descriptive and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to investigate physicians'characteristics and explore the associa-tions between characteristics,adverse medical events experiences and the frequencies of defensive medicine.Re-sults Physicians who are male(β2=-0.59),low income(β2=-1.47)and work in acute care units(β1=3.84,β2=1.84),pediatrics(β1=3.01,β2=2.16)and surgery(β1=2.64,β2=1.67)were more likely to engage in defensive medical behavior(P<0.05).Physicians who experienced adverse medical events practiced more frequent defensive medicine.Conclusion Adverse medical events experiences significantly increase physicians'defensive medicine prac-tice.Joint efforts should be made to improve physician-patint relationship and focus on prevention at source and im-proving dispute resolution mechanisms.

Objective To explore the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and psychological stress before parachuting training among parachuting trainees and the mediating role of resilience between them.Methods Anxiety sensitivity index scale(version 3),resilience scale,psychological stress self-evaluation test and self-compiled general information questionnaire were employed for 258 parachuting trainees before training.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations among anxiety sensitivity,resilience and psychological stress.A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted with anxiety sensitivity and resilience as independent variables and psychological stress as dependent variable to explore the relationships among these 3 factors.The mediating effect of resilience on the relationship between anxiety sensitivity and psychological stress was examined using the Hayes Process macro program and bias corrected non-parametric percentile Bootstrap method.Results Before parachuting training,the prevalence of psychological stress among parachuting trainees was 5.0%(13/258).The correlations between anxiety sensitivity,resilience and psychological stress were significant(all P<0.01).Anxiety sensitivity was positively associated with psychological stress among parachuting trainees(b=0.412,t=7.062,P<0.01),while resilience was negatively associated with psychological stress(b=-0.187,t=-3.722,P<0.01).Anxiety sensitivity and resilience were found to explain 31.4%of the total variance.Resilience partially mediated the effect of anxiety sensitivity on psychological stress,accounting for 20.48%of the total effect.Conclusion Parachuting trainees are at a relatively low stress level,with good psychological adaptation.Resilience plays a partial mediating role in the association between anxiety sensitivity and psychological stress.More attention should be paid to parachuting trainees with high anxiety sensitivity,enhancing their resilience,and reducing psychological stress before parachuting training.
