OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-utility of ciclesonide (CIC) versus budesonide (BUD) for the maintenance treatment of mild to moderate bronchial asthma. METHODS From the perspective of Chinese health service system, a Markov model was established based on the data from a clinical trial in China and some literature. The cycle length was 1 week, the time horizon was 60 years. A discount rate of 5% per year was applied. Cost-utility analysis was performed on therapeutic scheme of CIC and BUD using three times of China’s per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023 as the threshold of willing-to-pay (WTP). One-way sensitivity analysis, probabilistic sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were applied to test the uncertainty of basic analysis. RESULTS Compared with BUD scheme, the incremental cost of the CIC scheme was 9 401.67 yuan, and the incremental quality-adjusted life years(QALYs) were 0.001 3; incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was 6 928 868.26 yuan/QALY, far beyond the threshold of WTP 268 074 yuan/QALY. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that the usage, dosage and unit price of CIC and BUD were parameters that had a significant impact on ICER; probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the basic analysis results were relatively robust; scenario analysis showed that, when the price of CIC reduced to 159.95 yuan/branch, the probability of CIC scheme having economics was similar to that of BUD scheme. CONCLUSIONS At the current price, CIC is not economical compared with BUD for the maintenance treatment of mild to moderate asthma, using three times of China’s GDP in 2023 as the threshold of WTP.

Objective:To study the position of computed tomography(CT)slice of marker points of radiotherapy,which was determined by control scan(CS)method,on the application effect of patients with head and neck tumors who received radiotherapy.Methods:Based on Control Scan(CS)method,a calculator program of mark-point slice position was made,which was an enterprise WeChat program that could be used in calculating position and CT position scan of patients with head and neck tumor(slice thickness was 3mm).A total of 60 patients with head and neck tumor were selected,and the patients who underwent CT positioning scan by using CS method were divided into observation group,and patients who underwent CT position scan by using conventional method were divided into control group,with 30 cases in each group.The number of cases with three metal marker points displayed at the same slice,and the number of slices containing the CT images of marker point between the located CT scan were compared.Results:The number of patients in the observation group and the control group who showed three markers at the same level at the same time were respectively 26 cases and 13 cases,and observation group increased by 13 cases(43.4%)than control group,and the difference was significant(x2=12.382,P<0.05).The number of CT images with only 1 slice of observation group and control group were respectively 4 cases and 0 cases,which increased by 4 cases(13.3%)than the control group,and the difference was significant(x2=2.411,P<0.05).Conclusions:The CT localization scan of radiotherapy,which uses CS to assist patients with head and neck tumor,can precisely calculate and obtain the primary position of target of CT localization scan.It can take the images of 3 mental marker points of patient who receives radiotherapy to occur at the same CT slice as soon as possible,which has better application effect.It can effectively improve the convenience and work effectiveness of radiotherapy.

To explore the pathogenesis and treatment of recurrent granulomatous mastitis based on "deficiency, toxin and blood stasis". It is believed that the main pathogenesis of recurrent granulomatous mastitis is spleen and stomach deficiency due to chronic illness, and at the same time, the persistent or intermittent presence of various causes makes the residual toxin unclear, which leads to the stagnation of local meridians and collaterals in the breast, accumulation of lumps, and then suppuration. Deficiency of qi and blood in zang-fu organs is the main cause of this disease, and residual toxin is the key factor of this disease. The treatment should focus on promoting therapy, promoting with dispersing, expelling with supplementing, supplementing with warming and dredging, dissolving toxins and releasing stasis, and the prescription is based on modified Tuoli Xiaodu Powder (托里消毒散) or self-prescribed Jiangru No.2 Formula (浆乳2号方). Overall, the treatment should combine deficiency, toxin and blood stasis with different syndrome differentiation and treatment, reinforce healthy qi and express toxin, and activate blood circulation and dredge collaterals with flexibly modification, to promote disease healing.

Objective:To introduce the health insurance fund supervision model in Japan,compare the current situation of health insurance fund supervision in China,learn from experiences,and propose suggestions for improvement.Methods:By combining cases and regulatory effects,it introduces Japan's"guidance-inspection"based health insurance fund supervision model.Results:Japan's"guidance-inspection"based health insurance fund supervision model is relatively effective.Compared with China,it has a higher level of organizational hierarchy,focuses on education in its supervisory approach,clarifies the direction of patients'self-paid expences,and has a well-developed dual-way communication mechanism.Conclusion:China should establish a comprehensive health insurance fund supervision pathway,clearly define the resolution pathway for self-paid expenses caused by violations,and improve the mechanisms for negotiation and dispute resolution during the process.
