OBJECTIVE To provide reference for strengthening the standardized management of off-label drug use in cancer hospitals. METHODS The evaluation system for off-label drug use was established to standardize the application， approval， and filing process for off-label drug use in our hospital. The changes in off-label drug application quantity， proportion， disease category and drug category in our hospital were compared before （October 1st， 2021-September 30th， 2022） and after （October 1st， 2022- September 30th， 2023） the establishment of the evaluation system； drug items supported by high-level evidence screened by pharmacy department were analyzed statistically. RESULTS The number of off-label drug use applications in our hospital had gradually increased， from 306 pieces in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 3 828 pieces in the third quarter of 2023. In the year before the construction of the evaluation system， there were a total of 4 482 applications for off-label drug use， and in the year after the construction of the evaluation system， there were 11 840 applications for off-label drug use. After the construction of the evaluation system， the proportion of unregistered off-label drug use significantly decreased， compared to the same period last year （P＜0.05）. Among them， there were no unregistered applications for off-label drug use for digestive system tumors， head and neck tumors， and radioactive drugs； lymphoma， breast tumors，urogenital system tumors， cytotoxic drugs and new anti-tumor drugs all had a decrease of over 70% in unregistered off-label drug applications. Twenty-seven off-label drug use items related to 19 drugs supported by high-level evidence were screened by the pharmacy department of our hospital， among which 25 items were drug use beyond indication. CONCLUSIONS The establishment of off-label drug use evaluation system in cancer hospital is helpful to the rational use and refined management of clinical anti-tumor drugs.

Background Blue light, as an occupational hazard, is widely present in welding and related work environments. However, China's occupational health standard system has not yet established any limit for blue light exposure in welding work environments. Objective To study and propose blue light exposure limits in welding operation environments, and provide a reference for evaluation of blue light hazard and maximum allowable exposure time in welding operations. Methods A function between retinal irradiance and welding arc radiance was introduced by studying arc light and blue light radiation generated in welding operation environments, analyzing the incoherent light radiation protection guidelines issued by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), and combined with factors such as the size of arc light in welding operations, the distance between the welder's eyes and the arc light, and the diameter of the human eye pupil, as well as the geometric optics principle of human eye imaging and the conservation of energy. Then, the radiance limit (100 W·m⁻²·Sr⁻¹) issued by ICNIRP was input into the above function to calculate the blue light irradiance exposure limit in the welding operation environments. Results The blue light irradiance exposure limit in the welding operation environments (\begin{document}$ {E}_{{\rm{B}}}^{{\rm{EL}}} $\end{document}) was 3 W·m⁻². Considering the high repeatability of welding operations, the exposure limit for blue light radiant exposure (\begin{document}$ {H}_{{\rm{B}}}^{{\rm{EL}}} $\end{document}) was 60 J·m⁻². According to the definitions of radiant exposure and irradiance, the maximum allowable exposure time within one working day was calculated according to the formula \begin{document}$ {t}_{\mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x}}={H}_{{\rm{B}}}^{{\rm{EL}}}{/E}_{{\rm{B}}} $\end{document}, in which \begin{document}$ {E}_{{\rm{B}}} $\end{document} was the measured blue light irradiance in a welding environment. Conclusion Exposure limits of radiant exposure for blue light are proposed to provide important references for evaluating the hazards and maximum allowable exposure time of blue light in welding operations, and for future development of occupational exposure limit standards for blue light in China.

Objective: To analyze the current situation, influencing factors and mechanism of knowledge-attitude-practice(KAP) regarding acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)/sexually transmitted diseases(STDs) among migrant workers in Chengdu's main urban area, so as to provide a basis for the development of effective prevention and control policies for this group. Methods: Convenience sampling and systematic sampling were used to collect demographic information and data on knowledge, attitudes, and sexual behavior characteristics of AIDS/STDs of the participants. The collected data were organized and statistically analyzed by EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 26.0 software. Additionally, a KAP path analysis model was constructed by using AMOS 24.0 software. Results: A total of 257 valid questionnaires were obtained. The AIDS awareness rate was 55.6%, with a mean scores of(5.59±1.61). The awareness rate of STDs was 37.4%, with a mean scores of(9.05±3.00). Discrimination attitudes towards AIDS and STDs were reported by 58 participants(22.6%) and 44 participants(17.1%) respectively. The prevalence of high-risk sexual behavior was 3.50%. Men(OR=0.500, 95%CI: 0.279-0.897) acted as deterrents to knowledge of AIDS. On the other hand, childlessness facilitated discrimination against AIDS(OR=2.748, 95%CI: 1.385-5.451) and STDs(OR=2.287, 95%CI: 1.084-4.825). There was lower likelihood of engaging in high-risk sexual behavior among migrant workers in Chengdu's main urban area who were older(OR=0.854, 95%CI: 0.785-0.929). The occurrence of high-risk sexual behaviors was influenced both directly and indirectly by attitudes towards AIDS and related knowledge. There was a positive correlation between knowledge about AIDS and STDs and attitudes towards them(r=0.15,0.24, bothP<0.05), as well as between attitudes towards AIDS and attitudes towards STDs(r=0.57,P<0.05). That is, the higher the scores of knowledge, the less likely one was to hold discrimination attitudes. Therefore, increasing the rate of knowledge awareness could reduce discrimination towards AIDS/STDs and the occurrence of high-risk sexual behaviors. Conclusion The level of AIDS/STDs knowledge among the migrant workers in Chengdu′s main urban area is concerning. Innovative interventions should be intensified in key areas and populations.

Objective    To explore the safety and effectiveness of different interventional approaches for the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in children. Methods    The children (≤7 years) who underwent interventional treatment for PDA from 2019 to 2020 in our hospital were retrospectively included. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the procedures: a conventional arteriovenous approach group, a simple venous approach group, and a retrograde femoral artery approach group. The clinical efficacy of the patients was compared. Results     A total of 220 patients were included. There were 78 males and 142 females, with an average age of 3.21±1.73 years, weight of 14.99±5.35 kg, and height of 96.19±15.77 cm. The average diameter of the PDA was 3.35±1.34 mm. A total of 85 patients received a conventional arteriovenous approach, 104 patients received a simple venous approach, and 31 patients received a retrograde femoral artery approach. The diameter of PDA in the retrograde femoral artery group was smaller than that in the other two groups (3.44±1.43 mm vs. 1.99±0.55 mm; 3.69±1.17 mm vs. 1.99±0.55 mm, P<0.001); the contrast medium usage [40 (30, 50) mL vs. 20 (20, 30) mL; 35 (25, 50) mL vs. 20 (20, 30) mL, P≤0.001] and operation time [32 (26, 44) min vs. 25 (23, 30) min; 29 (25, 38) min vs. 25 (23, 30) min, P<0.05] in the simple venous approach group were significantly less or shorter than those in the other two groups; the length of hospital stay of the conventional arteriovenous group was longer than that in the other two groups [3 (3, 5) d vs. 4 (3, 6) d; 4 (3, 5) d vs. 4 (3, 6) d, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in postoperative complications. Conclusion    It is safe and effective to close PDA through simple venous approach. The retrograde femoral artery approach has the advantage of simplifying the surgical procedure for PDA with small diameters.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and radiological features of patients with hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery.Methods:Four patients with hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery (including 3 patients with congenital absence of the internal carotid artery), admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to December 2021, were chosen in our study. The clinical data and imaging features of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The age of these patients ranged from 31 to 73 years, and two patients were female. Clinically,2 patients presented with dizziness, 1 patient presented with limb weakness, and 1 patient was asymptomatic. In 3 patients with congenital absence of the internal carotid artery, DSA results showed that the internal carotid artery was not developed, and CT bone window showed that the internal carotid artery canal was absent; 1 patient with hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery showed thin imaging in DSA results. One patient was combined with anterior communicating artery aneurysm and left internal carotid artery aneurysm. One patient was with vertebral arterial dolichoectasia. The collateral circulation compensation: type A was noted in 3 patients and type C was noted in 1 patient.Conclusion:The patients with hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery are usually asymptomatic, and patients with congenital absence of the internal carotid artery can have ischemic symptom; these patients can be complicated with vascular abnormalities such as aneurysm and vascular thickening.

OBJECTIVE：To systematicall y review the pharmacoeconomics of anticoagulants for the prevention and therapy of venous thromboembolism （VTE）in cancer patients. METHODS ：Retrieved from PubMed ，Embase，Cochrane library ，CNKI， Wanfang database ，VIP，SinoMed，The NHS Economic Evaluation Database ，The Healthy Technology Assessment Database and EconLit，supplemented by manual retrieval ，the economic evaluation studies on the prevention and therapy of VTE in cancer patients with different anticoagulants were collected. The retrieval time was from the inception to Nov. 12th，2020. After screening and extracting ，the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards （CHEERS）was used to evaluate the quality of the included literatures. The basic characteristics of the included literatures were summarized by descriptive methods ，and the economic results were summarized according to medication purpose and different intervention grouping. RESULTS ：A total of 15 literatures were included. Three literatures were of excellent quality ；ten were of good quality ；and the other two were of moderate quality. Included studies were widely conducted in countries of different economic levels ，including China （1 piece），the United States（7 pieces），Canada（3 pieces），France（2 pieces），the Netherlands （1 piece），Brazil（1 piece）and Austria （1 piece）. For preventing VTE in cancer patients ，the economic evaluation results of warfarin and low-molecular-weight heparin （LMWH）needed to be updated. Novel oral anticoagulants （NOACs）for the prevention of VTE were less cost-effective among cancer patients with medium- and high-risk venous thrombosis in China than in the United States ，but the economic advantage increased among the high-risk patients. Compared to enoxaparin ，aspirin was absolutely dominant to preventing VTE in patients with myeloma. For the treatment of VTE in cancer patients ，LMWH was not cost-effective ，compared to warfarin in the United States ；but it was cost-effective in Canada and some countries of Northern Europe. Compared with LMWH ，NOACs could save total cost ，but the incremental utility in the United States and Brazil were opposite. Sensitivity analysis showed that economic results were sensitive to drug prices ，the baseline rate of thrombosis risk ，and the risk of adverse events （thrombosis recurrence ，major bleeding and death ） of different interventions ，the first two of which could reverse the conclusions. CONCLUSIONS ：For the prevention of VTE in cancer patients ，compared with no intervention or placebo ，the economic advantages of NOACs were different in different countries or for patients with different thrombosis risk ；the economics of warfarin and LMWH were not yet clear. Aspirin had obvious economic advantages compared with enoxaparin. For the treatment of VTE in cancer patients ，LMWH had different economic advantages compared with warfarin in different countries ；NOACs could save costs compared with LMWH. Economic strategies are greatly affected by the risk of diseases ，medical systems ，drug price ，patient preferences and values ，economic levels ，cost-utility threshold standards in different countries. Therefore ，the final economic strategies need to be based on the contexts of different countries.

Objective:To investigate the causes of immune failure in the population with high vaccination rate of measles and rubella vaccine in Beijing by detecting the IgG antibody affinity in suspected cases of measles and rubella.Methods:Serum samples of 276 suspected cases of measles and rubella were tested for IgM and IgG antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The affinity of IgG antibody was detected, and the relative affinity index was calculated.Results:Among the 276 suspected cases, 104 were measles and 108 were rubella. Six measles cases had vaccination history and were caused by primary immunization failure ( n=3) and secondary immunization failure ( n=3). Twelve rubella cases had vaccination history and were due to primary immunization failure ( n=4) and secondary immunization failure ( n=8). Specific high-affinity antibodies were detected in nine measles cases and seven rubella cases without vaccination history, which indicated that these cases were reinfected. In the cases without measles or rubella, other pathogenic infections including mixed infections were detected, which were mainly caused by EB virus. Conclusions:Both primary and secondary immunization failure occurred in the population with immunization history. Reinfection was found in the patients who had not received vaccination against measles or rubella. Other pathogenic infections were existed among the cases without measles or rubella. Thus, misdiagnosis was responsible for the increased proportion of measles and rubella patients with immunization history in suspected cases in recent years. Full-course vaccination was conducive to produce high-affinity antibodies against measles and rubella. A supplementary vaccination campaign should be launched to consolidate the immune barrier against measles and rubella in key population or high-risk population, aiming to block the circulation of measles virus and achieve the goal of eliminating measles.

Objective: To observe the influences of different follow-up methods on rehabilitation and compliance of patients with severe scar after burns. Methods: From January 2012 to May 2016, medical records of 116 patients with severe scar after burns who were admitted to our unit, discharged after wound healing and conforming to the criteria, were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into face-to-face follow-up group [n=59, 45 males and 14 females, aged (36±9) years] and routine follow-up group [n=57, 44 males and 13 females, aged (35±9) years] based on different follow-up methods they received. On the day of discharge and in post discharge month (PDM) 1, 3, and 6, the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the hypertrophic scar in joints, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale was used to evaluate the disability of patients in the 2 groups. In PDM 1, 3, and 6, Medical Compliance Behavior Questionnaire was used to investigate the medical compliance behaviors of patients in the 2 groups. Data were processed with chi-square test, t test with Bonferroni correction, and analysis of variance for repeated measurement. Results: (1) The VSS score of patients in face-to-face follow-up group on the day of discharge was (11.1±0.7) points, which was close to (11.7±0.7) points of routine follow-up group (t=2.021, P>0.05). The VSS scores of patients in face-to-face follow-up group in PDM 1, 3, and 6 were (10.5±0.6), (8.6±0.7), and (4.7±0.5) points, which were significantly lower than (11.4±0.7), (10.9±1.0), and (9.4±0.8) points of routine follow-up group respectively (t=2.034, 2.033, 2.042, P<0.05 or P<0.01). (2) The ADL score of patients in face-to-face follow-up group on the day of discharge was close to that of routine follow-up group (t=1.781, P>0.05). The ADL scores of patients in face-to-face follow-up group in PDM 1, 3, and 6 were higher than those of routine follow-up group respectively (t=9.683, 8.584, 9.772, P<0.01). (3) The compliance rates of consisted rehabilitation, reasonable diet, and timing consultation of patients in face-to-face follow-up group were better than those of routine follow-up group respectively (χ²=19.015, 13.251, 8.652, P<0.01). Conclusions Compared with routine follow-up by phone, face-to-face follow-up can do better in evaluating the scar condition and ADL of patients with severe scar after burns, and improve the medical compliance rates of patients, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To explore the cognition ,attitude and intention of seeking doctor on hierarchical diagnosis and treat-ment among the patients suffering from chronic diseases in Chongqing City .Methods A multistage stratified sampling method was adopted to investigate 1125 patients with chronic diseases extracted from 9 public hospitals as well as basic medical and health in-stitutions in 9 districts and counties of Chongqing City .Meanwhile ,the differences of intentions of seeking doctor and cognition situ-ation of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment were analyzed .Results The patients with chronic diseases in basic medical and health institutions were more likely to choose the basic medical and health institutions for seeking doctor than the patients treated in public hospitals ,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 190 .051 ,P<0 .01);31 .2% of the patients with chronic diseases never contacted the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment .The technical capabilities of basic medical and health institutions meeting treat-ment needs ,gradual improvement of medical condition and service level and trending to seeking doctor in basic medical and health institutions had statistical difference between the patients in public hospitals and patients in basic medical and health institutions (P<0 .01) .The aspects of understanding the current referral system between medical institutions and downward referral conducing the disease to obtain continuous long tern treatment had statistical difference between the patients in public hospitals and patients in basic medical and health institutions (P< 0 .01) .Conclusion In order to better carry out hierarchical diagnosis and treatment in Chongqing City ,it is necessary to perfect the supporting polices of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment for guiding the primary diag-nosis in the patients with chronic disease ,meanwhile establish an efficient dual referral mechanism and enlarge the propaganda of hi-erarchical diagnosis and treatment policy .
