Health economics evidence plays an important role in linking clinical value evidence with health resource allocation decisions in the development of clinical practice guidelines. It can not only effectively balance clinical effectiveness and economic feasibility but also avoid forming "idealized" recommendations that are detached from the affordability of the healthcare system or the burden-bearing capacity of patients. To promote guideline developers to use health economics evidence more standardizedly and fully, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the current application status, existing challenges, access channels, and application processes of health economics evidence in current guidelines, and on this basis, puts forward considerations and suggestions for strengthening and standardizing the application of health economics evidence in China's clinical practice guidelines.

Objective To explore the mechanism of electroacupuncture in inhibiting peripheral sensitization of visceral pain in mice with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)based on TRPV1/Ras/p38MAPK signaling pathway.Methods Totally 28 male SPF-grade C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,electroacupuncture group and inhibitor group.The IBS visceral hypersensitivity model was induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid enema.Four weeks post-modeling,electroacupuncture group and inhibitor group were given electroacupuncture at bilateral"Zusanli"and intraperitoneal injection of the TRPV1 receptor inhibitor respectively for consecutive 7 d.Abdominal withdrawal reflex(AWR)score was used to evaluate visceral pain in mice,HE staining was used to observe the morphology of colonic tissue,Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of TRPV1,p-p38,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and interleukin(IL)-6 in colonic tissue,ELISA was used to detect the Ras-GTP content in colonic tissue,and RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of TRPV1 and p38 in colonic tissue.Results Compared with the normal group,AWR score under different pressure were significantly increased in the model group(P<0.05,P<0.01),the expression of TRPV1,p-p38,TNF-α and IL-6 protein in colonic tissue significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001),the content of Ras-GTP significantly increased(P<0.001),the expression of TRPV1 and p38 mRNA significantly increased(P<0.001).Compared with the model group,AWR score under different pressure were significantly decreased in electroacupuncture group and inhibitor group(P<0.05,P<0.01),the expression of TRPV1,p-p38,TNF-α and IL-6 protein in colonic tissue significantly decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001),the content of Ras-GTP significantly decreased(P<0.01,P<0.001),and the expressions of TRPV1 and p38 mRNA significantly decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001).There was no significant change in the morphology of colonic tissue in each group of mice.Conclusion Electroacupuncture can effectively alleviate visceral hypersensitivity in IBS mice,and its analgesic effect may be related to the inhibition of the TRPV1/Ras/p38MAPK signaling pathway in colonic tissue.

Objective To investigate biological markers associated with psychotic symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder(BD)based on electronic medical records of patients,and to develop an interpretable risk prediction model that supports the identification of high-risk individuals and that facilitates decision-making for providing clinical intervention in a timely manner.Methods A total of 2 352 patients diagnosed with BD and admitted to West China Hospital,Sichuan University were enrolled using the electronic medical records system of the hospital.The participants were divided into two subgroups,the bipolar disorder depression(BDD)group and the bipolar disorder mania(BDM)group.The logistic regression algorithm was used to train and validate the prediction model,and interpretability methods were used to analyze the contribution of each feature to individuals and the effect of the features on specific target prediction decisions.Results The logistic regression model demonstrated robust predictive performance across the BD,BDD,and BDM cohorts,with areas under the curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic curves always exceeding 81.6%.The core predictive features included platelet distribution width(PDW),fibrinogen(FIB),platelet large cell ratio(P-LCR),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),prothrombin time(PT),and triglyceride(TG).The logistic regression model exhibited strong interpretability and was combined with nomograms for intuitive risk quantification and individualized prediction.Conclusion The logistic regression model enables rapid and simple screening of BD patients with psychotic symptoms.Distinct patterns of changes observed in blood biomarkers of BDD and BDM subgroups enrich the understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and highlight the importance of considering subtypes in the intervention and management of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term efficacy of surgical treatment for severe pulmonary stenosis(PS) in infants and young children, and to clarify the impact of different surgical timings on the efficacy of PS treatment.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 24 infants and young children who underwent surgical treatment for severe PS at the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, PLA, from January 1, 2020, to October 1, 2024. Among them, 13 were males and 11 were females. The average weight of the patients was(9.2±3.6) kg, the average gestational age was(39.3±1.7) weeks, and the average age was(15.0±13.5) months. Preoperative clinical symptoms and signs(e.g., cyanosis, shortness of breath), transpulmonary valve pressure gradient(TPVPG), right ventricular systolic pressure(RVSP), and Em/Am were recorded. The patients were divided into two groups based on surgical timing: the infant group(under 1 year old, n=12) and the toddler group(1-3 years old, n=12).Results:There were no deaths among all patients. The postoperative ICU stay was significantly longer in the infant group compared to the toddler group( P<0.05). Compared to preoperative values, surgical treatment significantly improved TPVPG, reduced RVSP, and enhanced right ventricular diastolic function, which stabilized by 3 months postoperatively( P<0.05). Intergroup comparisons revealed that the infant group had significantly lower TPVPG at 6 months postoperatively compared to the toddler group. Additionally, right ventricular diastolic function improved significantly in the infant group postoperatively, while no significant improvement was observed in the toddler group. Younger age and reduced right ventricular diastolic function were identified as major risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation(>24 hours). Conclusion:Surgical treatment for PS during infancy and early childhood is safe and effective. Comprehensive preoperative evaluation is crucial, and early surgical intervention is recommended for patients with impaired right ventricular function to improve prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect and the neural mechanisms of Apelin-13 on the behavior changes of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) model mice.Methods:Totally 32 SPF grade male C57BL/6J mice aged 6 weeks were divided into 4 groups randomly ( n=8 in each group): control group, model group, normal saline group and Apelin-13 group.The mice model of PTSD was established by single-prolonged stress (SPS) method. The mice in normal saline group and Apelin-13 group were respectively given lateral ventricular microinjection of 0.9% sodium chloride solution (2 μL) and Apelin-13 (1.5 μg/μL, 2 μL)after PTSD modeling. The behaviors of mice were evaluated by open field test, elevated plus maze test and Morris water maze test.The morphological structure and numerical changes of hippocampal neurons were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining.The expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K), phosphorylated-PI3K(p-PI3K), protein kinase B(Akt), phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt), forkhead box O3a (FoxO3a), phosphorylated-FoxO3a(p-FoxO3a), autophagy-related proteins including microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) and sequestosome 1(p62) were detected by Western blot. SPSS 26.0 software was used for data analysis.The escape latency data of repeated learning training in Morris water maze was conducted by repetitive measurement ANOVA.The comparison of other data among multiple groups was conducted by one-way ANOVA and further pairwise comparisons were conducted by LSD test and Tamhane test. Result:(1) Open field test results showed statistically significant differences in the central area activity distance and residence time in central area among mice in the four groups ( F=15.37, 9.63, both P<0.05). The central area activity distance ((0.06±0.03) m) and residence time ((2.48±1.02) s) of the mice in model group were lower than those of the control group ((0.19±0.05) m, (15.00±8.91) s)(both P<0.05). And the central area activity distance((0.12±0.04)m)and the residence time((13.56±7.64)s)were higher than those of model group((0.06±0.03)m, (2.48±1.02)s)and normal saline group((0.06±0.02)m, (2.82±1.52)s)(all P<0.05). Elevated plus maze test results showed statistically significant differences in the numbers and time entering open arms among the four groups ( F=10.74, 19.12, both P<0.05). The numbers((4.50±2.51) times) and the time ((26.95±17.48) s) entering the open arm of mice in model group were both lower than those of the control group ((13.75±4.71) times, (103.75±42.43)s) and Apelin-13 group ((10.00±5.18) times, (55.98±19.49) s) (all P<0.05). Morris water maze test results showed that in the 4-day learning and training phase, the time and group interaction of escape latency was not significant among the four groups ( F=1.15, P=0.34), but time main effect and group main effect were significant ( F=131.65, 16.98, both P<0.05). On the 2nd to 4th day, mice in model group showed significantly increased escape latency than mice in control group and Apelin-13 group(both P<0.05). And the numbers crossing original platform and the time in the target quadrant of Apelin-13 group were both higher than those of model group and normal saline group (all P<0.05). (2) HE staining results showed that neurons in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 area of mice in model group and normal saline group were swollen and arranged loosely.The hippocampal neurons in control group and Apelin-13 group were arranged neatly and densely. (3) Western blot results showed statistically significant differences in the protein expression of p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-FoxO3a, p62 and the ratio of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ among the four groups ( F=21.37, 37.35, 20.71, 13.26, 37.65, all P<0.05). The protein expression of p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-FoxO3a and p62 in Apelin-13 group((0.92±0.07), (0.90±0.09), (0.89±0.13), (1.03±0.08)) were higher than those in model group((0.59±0.04), (0.50±0.07), (0.49±0.11), (0.68±0.04)) and normal saline group((0.61±0.06), (0.50±0.08), (0.53±0.11), (0.70±0.05))(all P<0.05), and the ratio of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ in Apelin-13 group(0.60±0.06) was lower than those in model group(0.92±0.10) and normal saline group(0.99±0.05) (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Apelin-13 can alleviate the anxiety-like behavior and impaired spatial learning and memory in PTSD model mice. The mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of PI3K/Akt/FoxO3a autophagy pathway.

BACKGROUND: Amygdala plays an important role in the neurobiological basis of panic disorder (PD), and the amygdala contains different subregions, which may play different roles in PD. The aim of the present study was to examine whether there are common or distinct patterns of functional connectivity of the amygdala subregions in PD using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and to explore the relationship between the abnormal spontaneous functional connectivity patterns of the regions of interest (ROIs) and the clinical symptoms of PD patients. METHODS: Fifty-three drug-naïve, non-comorbid PD patients and 70 healthy controls (HCs) were recruited. Seed-based resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) analyses were conducted using the bilateral amygdalae and its subregions as the ROI seed. Two samples t test was performed for the seed-based Fisher's z -transformed correlation maps. The relationship between the abnormal spontaneous functional connectivity patterns of the ROIs and the clinical symptoms of PD patients was investigated by Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS: PD patients showed increased rsFC of the bilateral amygdalae and almost all the amygdala subregions with the precuneus/posterior cingulate gyrus compared with the HC group (left amygdala [lAMY]: t  = 4.84, P  <0.001; right amygdala [rAMY]: t  = 4.55, P  <0.001; left centromedial amygdala [lCMA]: t  = 3.87, P  <0.001; right centromedial amygdala [rCMA]: t  = 3.82, P  = 0.002; left laterobasal amygdala [lBLA]: t  = 4.33, P  <0.001; right laterobasal amygdala [rBLA]: t  = 4.97, P  <0.001; left superficial amygdala [lSFA]: t  = 3.26, P  = 0.006). The rsFC of the lBLA with the left angular gyrus/inferior parietal lobule remarkably increased in the PD group ( t  = 3.70, P  = 0.003). And most of the altered rsFCs were located in the default mode network (DMN). A significant positive correlation was observed between the severity of anxiety and the rsFC between the lSFA and the left precuneus in PD patients ( r  = 0.285, P  = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS Our research suggested that the increased rsFC of amygdala subregions with DMN plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PD. Future studies may further explore whether the rsFC of amygdala subregions, especially with the regions in DMN, can be used as a biological marker of PD.
