OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of ripretinib versus sunitinib as a second-line treatment option for patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). METHODS Based on the data of INTRIGUE study, a dynamic Markov model was constructed, with a cycle of 6 weeks; this model was used to simulate patients’ direct medical costs and quality- adjusted life years (QALYs) over 15 years. Using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) as the evaluation metric, a comparison was made between the ICER and the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold (3 times the per capita gross domestic product, which amounts to 268 200 yuan/QALY). One-way sensitivity analyses and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed on the model outputs to examine the stability of the model. RESULTS The health benefits of ripretinib were lower than those of sunitinib (1.21 QALYs vs. 1.31 QALYs). Still, the costs were higher (323 401.88 yuan vs. 227 532.40 yuan), making it an inferior regimen. The results of the one-way sensitivity analysis suggested that the cost of ripretinib and sunitinib, and the health utility value in progression-free survival status had a greater impact on the ICER of the model. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis suggested that the results of the study were stable, and the probability of the cost-effectiveness advantage of ripretinib was always much lower than that of sunitinib with the increase of WTP threshold, and showed a decreasing trend. CONCLUSIONS In the current economic context of China, ripretinib does not have a cost-effectiveness advantage over sunitinib as a second-line treatment for advanced GIST.

OBJECTIVE To build a Tibetan-language medication service platform based on “internet+” and evaluate its effect on improving medication compliance and safety of Tibetan patients with chronic disease. METHODS Medication guidance contents of commonly used drugs in the outpatient department were summarized, translated and recorded in Tibetan-language or video to form a “text-audio-video” multi-dimensional “internet+ ” Tibetan-language medication service platform. A total of 387 Tibetan outpatients with chronic disease in our hospital after the implementation of “internet+” Tibetan-language medication service platform (from January 2024 to June 2024) in our hospital were selected as the intervention group, and 387 Tibetan outpatients before the implementation (from January 2023 to June 2023) were selected as the control group. Patients in the control group received conventional window-based Chinese-language medication services, while patients in the intervention group received both conventional window-based Chinese-language medication service and “internet+ ” Tibetan-language medication service. The medication compliance of patients was evaluated using the 12-item Medication Compliance Scale. A six-level causality assessment was conducted as the principles for analyzing adverse drug reactions (ADR) set by the National Center for ADR Monitoring. Additionally, statistics were compiled on the occurrence of ADR that were assessed as “definite”“probable” or “possible” in the causality assessment. RESULTS The proportion (31.0%) of patients with good medication compliance and compliance scores [39.0 (37.0,42.0)] of patients in the intervention group were significantly better than control group [7.0%, 21.0(19.0, 23.0)]( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of various types of ADR or the overall incidence between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The “internet+” Tibetan-language medication service platform is constructed successfully; the service can effectively improve the medication compliance of Tibetan-language patients, but its effect on improving the medication safety of patients is limited.

Objective To analyze the short-term survival and prognostic quality of life of patients with liver cirrhosis complicated by bacterial infection. Methods This study collected and analyzed 300 patients with liver cirrhosis complicated with infection who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University, and followed up to discuss their survival and quality of life. Results In this study, the top two causes of infection were spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (60.67% of patients) and pneumonia (50.67% of patients). The second causes were urinary tract infections (15.33%), gastrointestinal infections (12.33%), and other causes. There was no statistically significant difference between male and female patients (P>0.05). In addition, the proportion of hospital infections was 71.00%, and there was no statistically significant difference between male and female patients (P>0.05). A total of 353 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated in this study (73.37% of patients with hospital infections). The distribution analysis of pathogenic bacteria showed that the highest proportion of ECO was 35.98%, followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.98%). The distribution trend of 259 strains of pathogenic bacteria among hospital patients was consistent with that of all strains, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Gram negative bacteria accounted for 79.60% (281/353) of all detected strains, of which Escherichia coli was mostly detected in patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, Klebsiella Pneumoniae (KPN) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE) were mostly detected in patients with pneumonia, and Enterococcus (ENF) was mostly detected in patients with urinary tract infection; Among gram-negative bacteria, Staphylococcus epidermidis (SEP) and Staphylococcus aureus (SAU) are mostly found in patients with other infectious causes (blood flow infection, etc.) , and Streptococcus (STR) accounts for a high proportion in patients with Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. In this study, 9 cases of death prognosis were detected during follow-up, and there was no statistically significant difference in the detection of death prognosis between different bacterial strains in both genders, as well as the difference in detection of death prognosis between hospital infections and out of hospital infections in both genders (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the detection of death prognosis between males and females due to different causes of infection, P>0.05. The quality of life scores of 291 surviving patients were compared between baseline and follow-up, indicating an increase in follow-up scores, especially in the dimensions of physiological function and physical pain. There was no statistically significant difference between different bacterial strains, infection causes, and hospital/non hospital infections (P>0.05) . Conclusion Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and pneumonia are the main causes of infection that deserve special attention, and the main pathogens of infection are Gram negative bacteria. Targeted treatment and rehabilitation should be provided for patients with liver cirrhosis complicated by infection. At the same time, the proportion of hospital infections is relatively high, and attention should be paid to, prevention and control measures should be implemented as well.

OBJECTIVE To mine the adverse drug event (ADE) signals of selinexor, and to provide reference for its clinical safety medication. METHODS ADE data for selinexor reported from July 3rd, 2019 to March 31st, 2023 were collected from the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS). Data mining was performed by using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) and proportional reporting ratio (PRR) methods, and categorization statistics were performed by using the system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) from drug ADE terminology set in the MedDRA (version 26.0). RESULTS A total of 3 084 ADE reports were obtained for selinexor, with a total of 134 ADE-positive signals. Among the reported genders, there were 127 males and 124 females, with a predominant age of ≥65 years old (4.12%); the United States had the highest number of reports (96.53%), with consumers being the main reporters (77.27%); severe ADR was mainly characterized by hospitalization/prolonged hospitalization (26.26%), followed by death (17.15%). The top 3 ADE in the list of frequency were nausea (1 162 times), fatigue (790 times) and anorexia (610 times), all of which were mentioned in the selinexor’s instructions. The top 3 signals in the list of strength were device-associated bacteremia (ROR=115.07, PRR=114.94), blepharospasm dysfunction (ROR=106.70, PRR=106.54), and salmonella sepsis (ROR=99.90, PRR=99.81), all of which were not mentioned in the selinexor’s instructions. CONCLUSIONS In addition to the ADE of nausea mentioned in the instruction manual, attention should also paid to device-associated bacteremia, blepharospasm dysfunction, salmonella sepsis, and other ADE not mentioned in the instruction manual when using selinexor in clinical practice; weekly rechecking of the patient’s blood routine should be done to monitor the patient’s blood indexes, symptoms of infection, and so on, to ensure that the safety of 1661962346@qq.com drug use.

ObjectiveTo construct a mouse model of inflammation-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) by using azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and investigate the effect of Huangqintang on the gut microbiota structure of mice during the occurrence and development of CAC by 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. MethodA total of 225 C57BL/6J mice were randomized into 5 groups (n=45): Normal, model, positive drug (mesalazine), and high (18 g·kg-1) and low (9 g·kg-1)-dose Huangqintang. Except those in the normal group, each mouse was injected with 10 mg·kg-1 AOM on day 1 and day 5 within 1 week and then given 1.5% DSS solution for 7 days, which was then changed to sterile water for 14 days. This process referred to as one cycle, and mice were treated for a total of 3 cycles. On the first day of DSS treatment, mice were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage, and the normal group and the model group were administrated with pure water by gavage, once a day until the end of the third cycle. The progression of CAC was divided into inflammation, proliferation, and tumorigenesis stages. At the end of each cycle, the body weight and colon length were measured for mice in each group, and the number of colon tumors in mice was recorded. Meanwhile, the disease activity index (DAI) was determined. The serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and carbohydrate antigen-199 (CA199), a tumor marker in the gastrointestinal tract of mice, were measured by ELISA. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe colon lesions. At the same time, 3-5 pellets of fresh feces of mice in the normal group, model group, and high-dose Huangqintang group were collected, from which the fecal DNA of mice was extracted for 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed decreased body weight (P<0.01), increased DAI, and shortened colon length (P<0.05) at the three stages. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed elevated levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α (P<0.05) at the proliferation stage and elevated levels of CA199 at the inflammation, proliferation, and tumorigenesis (P<0.01) stages. Compared with the normal group, the model group presented obvious infiltration of inflammatory cells at the inflammation stage, thickening of the muscle layer and abnormal proliferation of mucosal layer cells at the proliferation and tumorigenesis stages, and final formation of advanced intraepithelial tumor lesions. Compared with the model group, the Huangqintang groups showed no significant improvement in the body weight, decreased DAI score, and increased colon length at the three stages, and the increase of colon length in the tumorigenesis stage was significant (P<0.01). At the tumorigenesis stage, the administration of Huangqintang inhibited tumor formation and growth, reduced the number of tumors (P<0.01), lowered the levels of IL-6 (P<0.05, P<0.01), TNF-α (P<0.05, P<0.01), and IL-1β at the three stages, and decreased CA199 at the inflammation stage as well as at the proliferation and tumorigenesis stages (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the administration of Huangqintang reduced inflammation and abnormal cell proliferation, delaying the occurrence of tumors. Compared with the normal group, the model group showcased decreased alpha and beta diversity and altered structure of gut microbiota at the inflammation, proliferation, and tumorigenesis stages. The administration of Huangqintang adjusted the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota to the normal levels. At the inflammation stage, Huangqintang positively regulated two differential phyla (Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes) and three differential genera (Muribaculaceae, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, and Flavonifractor) in mice. At the proliferation stage, Huangqintang positively regulated two differential phyla (Bacteroidetes and Patescibacteria) and five differential genera (Muribaculaceae, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, norank_f__UCG-010, and Allobaculum). At the tumorigenesis stage, Huangqintang positively regulated two differential phyla (Proteobacteria and Patescibacteria) and eight differential genera (Muribaculaceae, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, norank_f_UCG-010, Lachnospiraceae_UCG-006, Allobaculum, Bacteroides, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group, and Flavonifractor) in mice. ConclusionHuangqintang can intervene in the AOM/DSS-induced transformation of inflammation to CAC in mice by correcting inflammation and short-chain fatty acid-related microbiota disorders.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of enterovirus 71 (EV71) and the genetic characteristics of VP1 region in common hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) cases in Shenzhen from 2016 to 2022.Methods:Throat swabs from mild HFMD in Shenzhen sentinel hospitals were collected from 2016 to 2022. A total of 38 EV71-positive samples were screened from these throat swabs and were sequenced. Then, the VP1 sequence of these EV71-positive samples were analyzed for their phylogenetic evolution by bioimformatics software DNAStar and MEGA 6.Results:From 2016 to 2022, the number of EV71 infections among HFMD patients in Shenzhen sentinel hospitals decreased from 136 in 2016 to 0 in 2022. The mumber of EV71 infections in 2018 and 2019 decreased by 96.3%(257/267) compared to that in 2016 and 2017. From 2020 to 2022, the number of EV71 infections decreased to 0. During this period, the EV71 vaccination rate among HFMD patients increased from 6.4% to 39.6%; Evolutionary analysis showed that the nucleotide homology and amino acid homology between 38 EV71 sample strains in Shenzhen from 2016 to 2022 were 91.8%-99.9% and 98.3%-100.0%, all belonging to the C4a subgenotype; Among them, 26 strains wene local epidemic strains, and 11 strains were imported from other provinces, with a close genetic relationship with epidemic strains in Hainan, Yunnan, Sichuan, Tianjin, Henan, Jilin, and other places. One strain from 2017 had the closest genetic relationship with the US epidemic strain OP207969-USA-2017. Further comparing the EV71 epidemic strains in Shenzhen from 2016 to 2022 and EV71 severe strains, it was found that the EV71 strains in Shenzhen carried four amino acid mutation sites related to severe condition, named R22H, K43R, I249V and T289A.Conclusions:The EV71 epidemic strains in Shenzhen from 2016 to 2022 all belong to the C4a subgenotype, and the number of EV71 infection shows a downward trend with the increase of vaccine coverage rate. At the same time, the distribution of EV71 virus strains in Shenzhen shows a significant decrease in local strains and a predominance of imported strains. There are a total of four amino acid mutation sites associated with severe cases in the EV71 sample strains in Shenzhen from 2016 to 2022. Among them, 22R and 289T are located at the N and C ends of VP1, which are related to EV71 adsorption and targeting cells. The 43R site is associated with binding ability to Annexin2 protein, which enhances cell binding ability.
