OBJECTIVE To predict the possible impact of pembrolizumab(PEM) as a first-line drug after being included in the national medical insurance system in the treatment of advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer based on real-world data from the perspective of the national medical insurance payer, to provide a basis for the decision-making of the medical insurance department. METHODS A budget impact analysis model was constructed to compare the impact of pembrolizumab not included in medical insurance and included in medical insurance on medical insurance fund expenditure in the next five years( 2024- 2028) with 2023 as the baseline year. The target population was the patients with EGFR gene mutation-negative and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-negative locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer; estimated cost mainly included the cost of drugs, the cost of adverse reaction treatment, the cost of examination, the cost of admission and monitoring, etc; equipment ratio of PEM in 183 hospitals of Guangdong province from 2020 to 2022 was used as the market share. Univariate sensitivity analysis was used to test the robustness of the basic analysis results. RESULTS When PEM was not included in the medical insurance, the medical insurance reimbursement amount of the target population from 2024 to 2028 was 4 933 623.5 thousand yuan-5 151 198.3 thousand yuan, respectively. If PEM was included in the medical insurance, the above data were 11 871 972.2 thousand yuan-14 540 571.0 thousand yuan, respectively; the increase in medical insurance reimbursement under the two scenarios was 6 720 773.9 thousand yuan-9 606 947.5 thousand yuan, respectively. The proportion of medical insurance reimbursement to the medical insurance expenditure of the year after PEM was included in medical insurance was 0.298 0%, 0.262 1%, 0.228 8%, 0.208 2%, and 0.185 7%, respectively. The increase in medical insurance reimbursement accounted for 1.084 0%, 0.995 7%, 0.888 6%, 0.886 3%, and 0.861 6% of the increase in the expenditure of the medical insurance fund in the current year, all of which showed a decreasing trend year by year. CONCLUSIONS If PEM is included in medical insurance, due to its high unit price, the medical expenditure will increase accordingly, which will have a great impact on the medical insurance fund expenditure. However, when the drug is used in patients with EGFR mutation-negative and ALK-negative locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, the proportion of the medical insurance reimbursement amount in the current year’s medical insurance fund expenditure and the proportion of the increase in medical insurance reimbursement in the current year’s increase in medical insurance fund expenditure are decreasing year by year.
2.Advances in research on treatment-associated pneumonitis in lung cancer patients treated with radiation combined with immunotherapy
Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2024;44(8):711-717
Radiotherapy and immunotherapy prove significant for cancer treatment presently. Despite therapeutic effects, they carry risks of adverse reactions. The survival rates and quality of life of patients with thoracic malignancies frequently fail to fulfill expectations after they receive radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy. A major reason for this is the occurrence of treatment-associated pneumonitis. To gain a deeper understanding of the pneumonitis induced by radiotherapy combined with immunotherapy for lung cancer, this paper reviews the pathogenesis, incidence, risk factors, differential diagnosis, and treatment of such pneumonitis.

Objective:Based on Web of Science database, this study aimed to explore the current status, research hotspots and development trends of countries regarding clinical management of osteoporotic fractures using bibliometrics and visualized analysis.Methods:We collected literatures in the field of clinical management of osteoporotic fractures included in Web of Science database, and applied bibliometrics to analyze the publication dates, countries, institutions, journals, authors, highly cited literatures and research hotspots. Visualization was drawn by VOSviewer software.Results:Analysis of the 2 508 articles revealed 3 types of data. (1) The analysis of basic information of the literature showed that: ①The country with the largest number of publications was the United States, which published 672 articles, followed by the United Kingdom and Canada, and China ranked fourth; ②The top three authors in the number of publications were Kanis JA, Cooper C and McCloskey EV respectively; ③The institution with the highest number of publications was the University of Sheffield, UK, followed by the University of Southampton, UK and the University of Toronto, Canada. (2) Network visualization of highly cited literatures showed that 118 highly cited literatures were mainly divided into 5 clusters, which were related to osteoporotic fracture diagnosis, treatment, medication adherence, management consensus and strategies of preventing refracture. (3) Temporal overlay visualization of research hotspots showed that early research mainly focused on traditional therapeutic drugs, and current research hotspots were mainly molecular targeted drugs, trabecular bone score and fracture liaison services.Conclusion:This study shows that the research activity of clinical management of osteoporotic fractures is increasing worldwide, and there is still a huge gap between China and Europe or the United States. Current research hotspots and development trends mainly focus on molecular targeted drugs, osteoporotic fracture treatment concepts, emerging fracture risk assessment tools, and fracture prevention and management models.

Objective:To investigate the predictive efficacy of global inhomogeneity (GI) index based on pulmonary electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in postoperative pulmonary infection of patients with craniocerebral trauma.Methods:A total of 90 patients with emergency craniocerebral trauma underwent surgery under general anesthesia in Suzhou Science & Technology Town Hospital. According to the complication of pulmonary infection at the 3rd day after operation, they were divided into the pulmonary infection group (P3 group) and non-pulmonary infection group (NP3 group), and according to the complication of pulmonary infection at the 7th day after operation, they were divided into the P7 group and NP7 group. The average GI index within 5 min before anesthesia induction (T 0) and 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T 1) and other clinical data in the perioperative period were collected. The prevalence of pulmonary infection at the 3rd and 7th days after operation was recorded. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative GI index for pulmonary infection at the 3rd and 7th days after operation. Results:A total of 88 patients were included. Among them, 26 patients developed pulmonary infection within 3 days after operation, and the prevalence rate was 29.5%. Pulmonary infection occurred in 38 patients within 7 days after operation, and the prevalence rate was 43.2%. Within 3 days after operation, the preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale score in the P3 group was significantly lower than that in the NP3 group ( P < 0.05). Within 3 days after operation, GI index in the P3 group increased significantly at T 1 when compared with the NP3 group ( P< 0.001). Within 7 days after operation, GI index in the P7 group increased significantly at T 1 when compared with the NP7 group ( P < 0.05). GI index at T1 accurately predicted pulmonary infection within 3 days after operation (AUC = 0.857, P < 0.001), and the best intercept value was ≥0.4225 (sensitivity: 0.846, specificity: 0.823). GI index at T 1 predicted pulmonary infection within 7 days after operation (AUC = 0.667, P < 0.005), and the best intercept value was ≥0.4225 (sensitivity: 0.579, specificity: 0.780), but the prediction efficiency was poor. Conclusions:The average GI index within 5 min after endotracheal intubation can be used as an effective predictor of pulmonary infection within 3 days after operation.

Objective:To screen the risk factors for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after emergency trauma surgery in the patients.Methods:The medical records of emergency surgical trauma patients (traffic accident, fall, engineering accident, etc.) were retrospectively collected.The general condition and perioperative clinical indicators of the patients were recorded.The patients were divided into PTSD group and non-PTSD group according to whether PTSD occurred within 1 month after surgery.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors for PTSD.Results:A total of 312 patients were enrolled, and the incidence of PTSD at 1 month after surgery was 19.9%.There were significant differences in preoperative VAS score, ratio of gender, intraoperative use of propofol, intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine, and postoperative ICU transfer rate between PTSD group and non-PTSD group ( P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative use of propofol, preoperative high VAS score and postoperative admission to ICU were independent risk factors for PTSD, and intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine was a protective factor for the prevention of PTSD ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Intraoperative use of propofol, preoperative high VAS score and postoperative transfer to ICU are independent risk factors for postoperative PTSD in the patients with emergency trauma, and intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine is a protective factor for the prevention of PTSD.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on the enhancement of fear memory by propofol in rats with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Methods:Two hundred and twenty clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 300-400 g, aged 12-16 weeks, underwent conditioned fear memory training, and PTSD model was developed.One hundred and twenty rats were divided into 6 groups ( n=20 each) by a random number table method: control group (C group), PTSD group, propofol group (P1 group), and propofol + different doses of dexmedetomidine groups (P1+ DEX10 group, P1+ DEX20 group and P1+ DEX40 group). In group C, only sound was played and no electric shock was given during conditioned fear memory training.After conditioned fear memory training, sesame oil 1 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected in PTSD group, propofol 1 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected in group P1, and dexmedetomidine 10, 20 and 40 μg/kg were intraperitoneally injected in P1+ DEX10, P1+ DEX20 and P1+ DEX40 groups, respectively.After drug administration, conditioned fear memory test was performed to record the time of rigid behavior within 90 s, and the percentage of time of rigid behavior was calculated.The development of SpO 2<90% was recorded during administration.One hundred Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups ( n=20 each) by the random number table method: propofol group (P2 group), and propofol+ dexmedetomidine given at different timings groups (P2+ DEX T0 group, P2+ DEX T30 group, P2+ DEX T60 group and P2+ DEX T90 group). After the conditioned fear memory training, propofol 1 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected in 5 groups, an then dexmedetomidine 20 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 0, 30, 60 and 90 min after propofol administration in P2+ DEX T0, P2+ DEX T30, P2+ DEX T60 and P2+ DEX T90 groups, respectively.Conditioned fear memory test was performed after drug administration to record the time of rigid behavior within 90 s, and the percentage of time of rigid behavior was calculated. Results:Only 6 rats developed SpO 2<90% during the administration period in P1+ DEX40 group.Compared with C group, the percentage of time of rigid behavior was significantly increased in PTSD group ( P<0.05). Compared with PTSD group, the percentage of time of rigid behavior was significantly increased in P1 group ( P<0.05). Compared with P1 group, the percentage of time of rigid behavior was significantly decreased in P1+ DEX20 and P1+ DEX40 groups ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the percentage of time of rigid behavior in P1+ DEX10 group ( P>0.05). Compared with P2 group, the percentage of time of rigid behavior was significantly decreased in P2+ DEX T0 and P2+ DEX T30 groups ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the percentage of time of rigid behavior in P2+ DEX T60 and P2+ DEX T90 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Dexmedetomidine can attenuate propofol-induced enhancement of fear memory in a rat model of PTSD, and the best effect is achieved in early administration of moderate dose (20 μg/kg, within 30 min after propofol administration).

With the aging of society, the incidence of osteoporosis is increasing. Osteoporotic fractures are directly related to osteoporosis. In the context of the gradual increase in osteoporosis, the number of osteoporotic fractures is increasing, and the incidence of refractures is also increasing annually. Refracture after an osteoporotic fracture refers to the occurrence of a new fracture after the initial fracture due to the lack of improvement in bone density and quality and the effect of low-energy external force on the bone. The occurrence of refracture has more harm to the patient's treatment plan, fracture healing, rehabilitation training, self-care ability, psychological expectation, compliance and other clinical indicators. Therefore, the prevention and management of refracture after osteoporotic fracture has gradually become a hot topic at home and abroad. At present, in this field of prevention and treatment, both clinicians and community doctors have problems with insufficient awareness and short-sighted clinical management, such as unclear management standards for refracture prevention, unclear division of labor between doctors at all levels and various types of doctors, and inadequate measures to improve patient's compliance. Focusing on the characteristics of osteoporotic fractures, refractures, and refracture prevention and management, the core points of refracture prevention and management are proposed and elaborated, and the corresponding contents, fixed teams, proprietary databases or proprietary books of refracture prevention and management should be clarified, so as to provide reference for further improving the clinical management of refracture prevention and treatment after osteoporotic fractures.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of preoperative cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on pain catastrophizing in the patients with orthopedic trauma.Methods:A total of 120 patients with lower extremity bone trauma, aged 18-64 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰor Ⅱ, with body mass index of 18-28 kg/m 2, with Pain Catastrophic Scale (PCS) score on admission >16, scheduled for surgical treatment, were enrolled.The patients were divided into 2 groups ( n=60 each) by the stratified randomization method based on the type of fracture: CBT group and routine group (group R). Group CBT received CBT for pain through the internet on the day of admission and one day before operation.The patients in both groups underwent reduction and internal fixation of lower extremity fractures under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia.The PCS scores were recorded immediately after admission and on the morning of the operation day.The effective pressing times of the patient-controlled analgesia pump, consumption of analgesics for rescue analgesia, and occurrence of nausea and vomiting within 48 h after operation were recorded.The visual analogue scale score of the surgical site during activity and occurrence of the score >3 at 3 months after operation and use of opioids within 3 months after operation were recorded. Results:Compared with group R, the PCS score was significantly decreased on the morning of the operation day, the pressing times of the patient-controlled analgesia pump, consumption of analgesics for rescue analgesia and incidence of nausea and vomiting within 48 h after operation were decreased, the requirement for opioids within 3 months after operation was decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in VAS score during activity and occurrence of the score >3 at 3 months after operation in group CBT ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative CBT can reduce the degree of pain catastrophizing and is helpful in increasing the quality of postoperative analgesia in the patients with orthopedic trauma.
