		                        			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.

		                        			 To analyze the factors affecting the cost of hospitalization for patients and provide insights using the intrauterine lesion surgery group (DRG code NE19) as an example. This study was a retrospective cross-sectional study, with data from the first page of medical records of patients enrolled under NE19 at a comprehensive tertiary hospital in Beijing from March 15, 2022 to November 30, 2023. Influence factor selection and multifactorial linear regression analysis were conducted with hospitalization cost as the dependent variable, and patient's basic information, treatment information and key concern factors as independent variables. The profit and loss of medical records containing key factors and differences in indicators of hospitalization cost structure were analyzed in the context of clinical practice. A total of 2213 valid medical records (all female patients) were included, with patients predominantly young and middle-aged women under 45 years of age (72.12%), and with 931 day surgery medical records (42.07%). The diagnosis records included 334(15.09%) multiple uterine leiomyomas, and 246(11.12%) pelvic adhesions. A total of 150(6.78%) medical records involved ovary- and tubal-related surgeries or manipulations, with 160(7.23%) main operations being laparoscopic hysterectomy of diseased uterine lesions and 38(1.72%) mechanical rotational excision of abnormal uterine tissue using transhysteroscopy. Linear regression analysis showed that whether or not ovarian and tubal surgical operations were involved ( The NE19 group of hospitals in the study had a high loss rate, and factors such as the severity of the patient's condition and the use of new technologies affected hospitalization costs, suggesting that there is room for further optimization of the existing grouping scheme. Tiered payment standards can be set up for different tiers of healthcare institutions, and a sound and optimized exclusion mechanism can be used to promote the development of new technologies. The internal management of hospitals should encourage the development of daytime surgery to improve the efficiency of medical services.

		                        			To study the antiviral effect ofZedoary TurmericOil Injection on novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 viroid cell lines were preparedin vitroand treated with different concentrations of Zedoary Oil. The cell number and relative fluorescence value(RLU) were observed and measured, and the 50% effective inhibitory concentration(IC 50) was calculated. Four patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 were clinically included, including 2 in the control group and 2 in the experimental group. The control group received conventional treatment, and the experimental group receivedZedoary TurmericOil Injection in addition to conventional treatment. The nucleic acid conversion rate, conversion time, pulmonary imaging changes, fever reduction time, clinical improvement time and adverse events of the patients were observed.In vitroexperiment, the relative fluorescence value decreased with increasing concentration ofZedoary TurmericOil, which was significantly different from that of the control group(P<0.05). The IC50 was 0.26 μg/ml.In vivostudy, the novel coronavirus nucleic acid in stool of case 1 in the test group turned negative in 3 days, the cough symptom of case 2 was significantly relieved, and there was obvious absorption in pulmonary imaging. The negative conversion time of novel coronavirus nucleic acid in the control group was 5 and 7 days respectively. No adverse events occurred in the experimental group.Zedoary TurmericOil had strong inhibitory effect on SARS-COV-2 virusin vitrowhich was dose-dependent.In vivotreatment of COVID-19,Zedoary TurmericOil Injection combined with conventional treatment can improve the cough caused by SARS-COV-2 infection, promote SARS-COV-2 to turn negative, promote absorption of lung lesions, and reduce lung injury, with no obvious adverse events.

		                        			Objective:To observe the effect and underlying mechanism of down-regulation of VEGFA on the radiosensitivity of esophageal cancer ECA-109 cells.Methods:Esophageal cancer cells were divided into four groups: sh-VEGFA group, vector control group, X-ray plussh-VEGFA group and X-ray plus vector group. The expressions of VEGFA gene and protein were detected by qPCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation and survival was measured by CCK8 assay and cloning formation, respectively. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, and γ-H2AX foci were detected by immune-fluorescence assay.Results:Compared with the vector group, the expression of VEGFA gene was decreased in sh-VEGFA group ( t=11.98, P<0.05), and the expression of VEGFA protein was also reduced( t=12.38, P<0.05). After VEGFA being down-regulated, the cell proliferation( A450)was obviously inhibited( t=2.78, 7.25, 21.93, 13.21, P<0.05), and the cell clone formation of the sh-VEGFA group was significantly decreased so that D0, Dqand SF2 of sh-VEGFA group were decreased( t=5.83, 8.56, 7.68, P<0.05), and SERD0and SERDqwere increased. Compared with the vector group, the apoptosis rate in the sh-VEGFA group and the X-ray group was significantly increased and further increased in the sh-VEGFA plus X-ray group( t=17.63, 22.48, 33.87, P<0.05), and the number of γ-H2AX foci in both sh-VEGFA and vector groups were significantly increased within 2 h after X-ray irradiation. At 24 h after irradiation, the number of γ-H2AX foci returned to normal level in the vector group but remained at a higher level in the sh-VEGFA group ( t=7.00, P<0.05). Conclusions:Down-regulation of VEGFA inhibits the proliferation and colony formation, promotes apoptosis and hence increases the radiosensitivity of esophageal carcinoma cells via a pathway related to DNA damage repair.

		                        			Objective To verify the expression of long non-coding RNA(LncRNA) TCONS_00023867 in pancreatic cancer tissue and cells,and to explore its effects on cell proliferation,invasion and migration in pancreatic cancer cells.Methods The expression of lncRNA TCONS_00023867 in human pancreatic cancer tissues,adjacent non-cancer tissues,pancreatic cancer cells(Capan-2,AsPC-1,BxPC-3,MIAPaCa-2,PANC-1) and pancreatic normal duct epithelial cell (HPDE6c-7) was detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).LncRNA TCONS_00023867 over-expression plasmid and its control plasmid PEX-3 were transfected in Capan-2 and PANC-1 cells.Then,the abilities of cell proliferation,invasion and migration were determined by using clone formation assay,CCK-8 assay and Transwell assay,respectively.Furthermore,the expression of p53 protein was examined by Western blot.Results The expression of IncRNA TCONS_00023867 in pancreatic cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in the matched adjacent pancreatic cancer tissue(△Ct value 13.64±0.55vs 8.64± 0.38,P<0.001).Over-expression of TCONS_00023867,the experimental plate clone count of Capan-2 and PANC-1 cells were respectively lower than that in the empty plasmid vector PEX-3 group (181.3±4.667 vs 227.3± 9.207,P=0.011 2),(86.0±4.933 vs 167.2±2.603,P=0.000 1).The proliferation ability of Capan-2 and PANC-1 was significantly reduced compared with that of the empty plasmid vector PEX-3 group.The migration ability of Capan-2 and PANC-1 was significandy reduces compared with that of the group of empty plasmid vector PEX-3 (57.6±6.809 vs 124.6±8.548,P=0.003),(47.40±7.061 vs 105.2±10.28,P=0.001 7).The invasion ability of Capan-2 and PANC-1 was significantly reduced compared with that of the empty plasmid vector PEX-3 group (46.0± 5.033 vs 120.7±7.055,P=0.001),(64±8.327 vs 118.0±11.53,P=0.019 2).Through western blot experiment,the expression of p53 in Capan-2 and PANC-1 was higher than that in the group of empty plasmid vector PEX-3 (2.192± 0.077 3 vs 1.007±0.018 8,P=0.000 1),(1.816±0.163 vs 0.988±0.012 16,P=0.007 2).Conclusions The level of TCONS_00023867 is decreased in pancreatic cancer tissues and cells.Overexpression of TCONS_00023867 decreases cell proliferation,invasion and migration in pancreatic cancer ceils through increasing the level of p53.
