OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of the specialized centralized procurement policy for insulin on daily cost and affordability of insulin, and provide data support for the enhancement of relevant policies. METHODS In this research, the insulin purchasing data were obtained from provincial centralized procurement platforms in provinces before and after the specialized centralized procurement of insulin (October-December 2021 and October-December 2022), and the cost variations of insulin before and after the centralized procurement were analyzed by the defined daily dose cost (DDDc) of various types of insulins. The changes in the affordability of various types of insulins before and after the specialized centralized procurement were evaluated, using the percentage of annual expenditure on various types of insulins relative to annual per capita disposable income (i.e. the proportion of annual expenditure) as an indicator. RESULTS After the specialized centralized procurement, DDDc of various types of insulins decreased by 20.7%-71.8%, with an average reduction of 45.7%. Moreover, the reduction in DDDc for third-generation insulin exceeded that for second-generation insulin. The reduction in the proportion of annual expenditure on insulin ranged from 24.3% to 73.4%, with an average decrease of 48.5%. Premixed insulin analogs experienced the greatest reduction (73.4%). Following the specialized centralized procurement, DDDc of insulin decreased in all provinces. Except for Guangxi (10.2%), the average proportion of annual expenditure on insulin in the remaining provinces dropped to below 10%. CONCLUSIONS The specialized centralized procurement policy for insulin has significantly reduced insulin costs and improved affordability, thereby alleviating the economic pressure on patients with diabetes. There are notable cost disparities among provinces and among insulin categories, which require attention.

Background::To address the need for immunotherapy in patients with advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), combination with radiotherapy (RT) has emerged as a promising strategy. In preclinical studies, irradiated tumors released tumor antigens to synergistically increase the antitumor effect of immunotherapy. Hence, we investigated whether RT enhances the efficacy of anti-programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors in advanced HCC in real-world practice.Methods::Between August 2018 and June 2021, 172 patients with advanced primary HCC were enrolled in the tertiary center (Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University); 95 were treated with a combination of RT and the inhibitor of PD-1 (RT-PD1 cohort), and 77 were administered anti-PD-1 therapy (PD1 cohort). The first cycle of PD-1 inhibitors was administered within 60 days or concurrently with RT. Propensity score matching for bias reduction was used to evaluate the clinical outcomes.Results::Among 71 propensity-matched pairs, median progression-free survival was 5.7 months in the RT-PD1 cohort vs. 2.9 months in the PD1 cohort ( P <0.001). Median overall survival was 20.9 months in the RT-PD1 cohort vs. 11.2 months in the PD1 cohort ( P = 0.018). Compared with patients in the PD1 cohort, patients in the RT-PD1 cohort had significantly higher objective response rates (40.8%, 29/71 vs. 19.7%, 14/71, P = 0.006) and disease control rates (62.0%, 44/71 vs. 31.0%, 22/71, P <0.001). The incidences of toxic effects were not significantly different between the two cohorts. Conclusions::RT plus anti-PD-1 therapy is well tolerated. RT enhances the efficacy of anti-PD-1 therapy in patients with advanced primary HCC by improving survival outcomes without increased toxic effects.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the prognosis and influencing factors of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to late stent thrombosis (LST) and very late stent thrombosis (VLST).
METHODS:
Patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI caused by LST and VLST at Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 2016 to June 2021 were selected as the study subjects, and long-term follow-up was conducted. The baseline clinical features, laboratory examination indicators, echocardiography results, coronary angiography and intervention treatment characteristics, and antiplatelet treatment status of patients were collected. The study endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), including all-cause mortality, target vessel revascularization (TVR), myocardial infarction, and recurrent stent thrombosis (RST). Patients were divided into MACE group and non-MACE group based on the occurrence of MACE. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the univariate and multivariate predictive factors for MACE occurrence in STEMI patients caused by LST and VLST during long-term follow-up after PCI. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to analyze the cumulative survival rate without MACE during follow-up in subgroups of patients with different levels of fibrinogen (Fib) and initial number of stents. The incidence of MACE among patients receiving different drug-eluting stent (DES) treatments was compared.
RESULTS:
A total of 418 patients diagnosed STEMI caused by LST and VLST through coronary angiography were enrolled, of which 115 had MACE and 303 did not. Among them, 404 cases (96.65%) completed follow-up, with a median follow-up time of 27.25 (18.00, 37.00) months. Cox regression analysis showed that Fib [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.840, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.329-6.066, P = 0.007], non-culprit vascular stenosis > 50% (HR = 5.974, 95%CI was 1.634-21.848, P = 0.007), initial stent quantity (HR = 3.314, 95%CI was 1.677-6.552, P = 0.001), B2/C lesions (HR = 5.463, 95%CI was 1.396-21.373, P = 0.015), and cardiogenic shock (HR = 4.141, 95%CI was 1.101-15.568, P = 0.035) were independently associated with the occurrence of MACE. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the higher the Fib level, the lower the cumulative survival rate without MACE (82.8%, 70.1%, 40.5%, P < 0.01); the more initial stents, the lower the cumulative survival rate without MACE (75.0%, 57.7%, 36.5%), with patients with initial stents ≥ 3 having the lowest cumulative survival rate without MACE (P < 0.001). A total of 210 patients (50.2%) received secondary stent treatment, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE between patients receiving first and second generation DES treatment (27.3% vs. 24.7%, P > 0.05), but patients receiving first generation DES had a higher proportion of all-cause mortality (22.3% vs. 10.1%, P < 0.05). Compared with patients receiving smaller diameter DES treatment (< 2.75 mm), patients receiving larger diameter DES treatment (≥2.75 mm) had a significantly lower incidence of MACE (20.5% vs. 35.9%, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Long-term clinical outcomes after PCI for STEMI due to LST and VLST are unfavorable, with a high rate of MACE. The treatment of this particular type STEMI remains challenging, re-implantation of second generation DES or a larger diameter DES (≥2.75 mm) may be beneficial.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of quadruple therapy involving radiotherapy (RT), lenvatinib, anti-PD-1 antibody and GEMOX (oxaliplatin and gemcitabine) chemotherapy (quadruple therapy) in treatment cohort of patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).Methods:The patients with recurrent, metastatic, or unresectable ICC underwent quadruple therapy at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between September 2018 and May 2022 were selected. The data about efficacy and safety of quadruple therapy were collected in the hospital electronic medical record system. All patients were followed up regularly to obtain the long-term prognostic data until December 31, 2022. The efficacy, prognosis, and toxicity data were collected and analyzed.Results:A total of 41 patients were included in the analysis. After a median follow-up period of 15 months, disease progression was diagnosed in 36 patients (18 patients died), while 3 patients were lost to follow-up. The causes of death included liver failure induced by intrahepatic tumor progression ( n=6), distant metastases (lungs or brain, n=6), abdominal lymph node metastases ( n=3), cancer cachexia ( n=2), and unknown cause ( n=1). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11 months (95% CI: 9.2-12.8), and the median overall survival (OS) was 35 months (95% CI: 17.0-52.0). All patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (AEs) during the study treatment period. Of the 41 patients, 13 patients experienced at least once grade 3 or worse treatment-related AE, but all were manageable with symptomatic treatment. No treatment-related deaths were reported during the follow-up period. Conclusions:Radiotherapy (RT), lenvatinib, anti-PD-1 antibody and GEMOX in the treatment of unresectable ICC shows significant efficacy and good safety, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between depression, anxiety, stress and food addiction among primary and secondary school students in Yixing City, so as to provide reference and suggestions for maintaining healthy eating behavior and psychological health intervention and promotion among primary and secondary school students in Yixing City.
Methods:
From December 2022 to February 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 4 180 primary and secondary school students from four primary and secondary schools in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province. A questionnaire survey was conducted using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and related behavior questionnaires. The data was analyzed using χ 2 test, Wilcoxon, Kruskal Wallis H rank sum test, and binary Logistic regression.
Results:
The prevalence of food addiction among primary and secondary school students in Yixing City was 0.98% (41 students), and there was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of food addiction, depression, anxiety, and stress scores among students of different genders and age groups ( Z/H = -1.34- 5.74, P >0.05). There was a positive correlation between food addiction and binge eating behavior, depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms ( r=0.14-0.23, P <0.01). The results of binary Logistic regression showed that anxiety ( OR=5.68, 95%CI =1.74- 18.55 ) and stress ( OR=5.41, 95%CI =2.20-13.32) were positively correlated with the occurrence of food addiction in primary and secondary school students ( P <0.01).
Conclusions
The risk of food addiction among primary and secondary school students with anxiety and stress symptoms is higher than that of the general population. Guidance and intervention on student mental health should cover the entire compulsory education and high school period, in order to improve the mental health level of students and reduce the occurrence of food addiction behavior.

【Objective】 To investigate the clinical application of self-developed magnetic anchoring device for assisting thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. 【Methods】 Eleven patients underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary assisted with resection magnetic anchoring technique at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University, from March to May 2019. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The operation time, blood loss, blood transfusion volume, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications were recorded. 【Results】 There were seven male and four female patients, with the average age of (51.6±13.9) years (range from 22 to 69 years). Three single-port and eight single-utility-port thoracoscopic surgeries were performed. Magnetic instruments provided good surgical field exposure in all operations. Among 11 surgeries, one was converted to thoracotomy and one to three-hole surgery due to enlargement and adhesion of hilar lymph nodes. The operation time was (107.8±63.1) minutes (range of 27-182 minutes). The blood loss was 50 (10-50)mL (range of 5-1 000 mL). No blood transfusion was needed during the operation. The postoperative hospital stay was (5.0±1.8) days (range of 3-9 days). No postoperative complications occurred in all the patients. 【Conclusion】 Magnetic anchor technique can effectively alleviate the "chopstick effect" in thoracoscopic surgery. Magnetic anchor technique is safe and feasible in assisting thoracoscopic pulmonary resection.
