The life view of "human life is the most important" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) originates from the people-oriented theory of Chinese traditional culture, the benevolence thought of Confucianism, the rebirth thought of Taoism and the compassion thought of Buddhism. Taking the life view of "human life is the most important" as the starting point, it has formed medical ethics thoughts such as the social responsibility of saving the world, the medical practice purpose of treating all patients equally, the meticulous working attitude, the diligent and tireless learning attitude, and the exploration spirit of widely exploring the medical roots, which still has important educational significance. Therefore, the life view of "human life is the most important" should be integrated into the medical ethics education of medical students, and the medical ethics literacy of medical students should be improved through the following ways: strengthen the vocational ideal education of saving the dying and healing the wounded, and enhance the sense of social responsibility of medical students; consolidate the theme of life first classroom education and improve the professional identity of medical students; enrich and innovate the practice forms of protecting life, pay attention to the practicality of medical ethics education.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of trastuzumab deruxtecan(T-DXd) versus trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in the second-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, and to provide a basis for the selection of clinical medication regimen and medical and health decisions. METHODS Based on the clinical trial DESTINY-Breast03, a partitioned survival model was constructed, with a cycle of 3 weeks as the simulation of patients’ lifetime. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated by using quality-adjusted life years (QALY) as output indicators, and sensitivity analysis was used to verify the robustness of the basic analysis results; the cost-effectiveness of the second-line treatment for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer was compared between T-DXd and T-DM1. RESULTS Under the premise of taking 3 times China’s per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in 2022 as the willingness-to-pay threshold (257 094 yuan/QALY), the T-DXd group also needed to pay more cost compared with T-DM1 group while obtaining incremental utility (0.69 QALYs), and the ICER value was 1 850 478.40 yuan/QALY. The results of univariate sensitivity analysis showed that progression-free survival state utility value, T-DXd price, cost discount rate were factors that had a great influence on ICER value, but these parameters could not flip the basic analysis results within a reasonable range. In the probability sensitivity analysis, when the threshold of willingness-to-pay rose to 1 500 400 yuan/QALY, the probability of economic activity was 50% in the T-DXd regimen. The results of the scenario analysis also verified the robustness of the original research results. CONCLUSIONS Under the premise of 3 times China’s per capita GDP as the WTP threshold, compared with T-DM1, T-DXd is not cost-effective in the second-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of wrist-ankle acupuncture on the pharmacodynamics of remimazolam for loss of consciousness in the patients of different genders and ages undergoing painless gastroscopy.Methods:American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠor Ⅱ patients, undergoing elective painless gastroscopy, were divided into 4 groups according to gender and age: agedmale (age≥65 yr) group (group AM), agedfemale (age≥65 yr) group (group AF), young male (18 yr≤age <65 yr) group (group YM), and young female (18 yr≤age <65 yr) group (group YF). After 10 min of wrist-ankle acupuncture on 1st and 2nd areas of the bilateralupper limbs of the patient, modified Dixon′s up-and-down sequential experiment was used for the test.The initial dose of intravenous remimazolam was 0.20 mg/kg. Each time the dose increased/decreased by 0.05 mg/kg. If the patient lost consciousness, the next patient received a lower dose of remimazolam, otherwise a higher dose was given in the next patient. Loss of consciousness was defined as MOAA/S score was 0 or 1, and the process was repeated until 7 turning points appeared.The median effective dose (ED 50)and 95% confidence interval of remimazolam were calculated by probit method. Results:The ED 50 and 95% confidence interval of remimazolam were 0.296(0.233-0.376), 0.319(0.262-0.388), 0.323(0.278-0.375) and 0.344(0.285-0.415)mg/kg in AM, AF, YM and YF groups, respectively. There was no significant difference in ED 50 among the four groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Under the action of wrist-ankle acupuncture, the pharmacodynamics of remazolam is comparable when used for the patients of different genders and ages undergoing painless gastroscopy.

OBJECTIVE To quantitatively evaluate the existing payment policies of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs)in China , so as to provide reference for the formulation and improvement of policies. METHODS Totally 58 documents related to DRGs payment issued by the national and provincial medical security bureaus from 2017 to 2022 were processed by text mining method. PMC index evaluation model of DRGs payment policy was established. Nine typical DRGs payment policies were quantitatively evaluated and analyzed by 10 primary variables and 40 secondary variables. RESULTS Among the 9 policies,5 were excellent and 4 were acceptable. The average score of PMC index was 6.882. Generally ,there was still room for improvement because of the acceptable level. By comparing the two representative policies ,it was found that the main reasons was a lack of consideration in terms of supervision and management ,incentives and constraints when facing policy changes ,reason of the lower level of urban development. CONCLUSIONS Although DRGs payment policy in China is basically perfect ,there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of extending the time limit of the policy ,summarizing and spreading the successful experience of pilot cities.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the econ omical efficiency of daratumumab combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (D-Rd) regimen versus lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) regimen alone in the treatment of transplant- ineligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (TNE-NDMM). METHODS From the perspective of China ’s health system ,a partitioned survival model with three health states of progression free survival ,disease progression and death was established by using the published MAIA test data and relevant literature data. The model cycle was 28 days and the simulation time limit was 20 years. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER)was calculated using quality-adjusted life years (QALY)as the output index. Sensitivity analysis was performed for key parameters. RESULTS The results of basic analysis showed that the ICER of D-Rd regimen versus Rd regimen was 2 719 038.08 yuan/QALY,far exceeding 3 times of GDP per capita in 2021(242 928 yuan). The results of single factor sensitivity analysis showed that cost discount rate ,progression-free survival utility value ,utility discount rate,the cost of daratumumab and lenalidomide had a greater impact on ICER. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis suggested that the probability of economic advantage of D-Rd regimen was always 0 within the WTP range of 0-1 200 000 yuan. CONCLUSIONS Compared with Rd regimen ,D-Rd regimen has no cost-effectiveness advantage for the treatment of TNE-NDMM under the WTP of 3 times GDP per capita of China .

OBJECTIVE From the perspective o f China ’s h ealth service system ,to ev aluate the cost-effectiveness of sintilimab combined with chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),so as to provide reference for the selection of clinical medication plan and medical and health decision-making. METHODS Based on the ORIENT-11 study data ,a partitioned survival model was established ,and the model period was 21 days to simulate the death of 99% of the patients. Using quality-adjusted life years (QALY)as an output indicator ,the cost-effectiveness of sintilimab combined with chemotherapy (trial group )versus chemotherapy alone (control group )in the first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent NSCLC was evaluated. Cost and utility were discounted using 5% discount rate ;sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were used to verify the robustness of the underlying analysis results. RESULTS Under the premise that 3 times of the per capita gross domestic product (GDP)of China in 2020 was used as the threshold of willingness-to-pay (WTP),the patients in the trial group obtained more utility (0.482 QALY)and also spent nearly twice as much as the control group. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER)was 334 974.41 yuan/QALY. Univariate sensitivity analysis showed that progression-free survival status utility value , pemetrexed price ,utility discount rate ,cost discount rate and sintilimab price had a greater impact on ICER. The results of probability sensitivity analysis showed that when the WTP threshold was 3 times of China ’s per capita GDP in 2020,the probability of the trial group ’s plan being cost-effective was 6.5%. The results of the scenario analysis verified the robustness of the underlying analysis results. CONCLUSIONS On the premise of taking 3 times of China ’s per capita GDP in 2020 as the WTP threshold , sintilimab combined with chemotherapy is not cost-effective for first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent NSCLC compared with chemotherapy alone.
