A decision tree model was developed to conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis from the perspective of the healthcare system. The effect parameter was the clinical effectiveness rate obtained from a meta-analysis of clinical literature. The cost parameter was represented by the drug treatment cost. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was subsequently calculated, and the robustness of the primary analysis results was assessed through one-way sensitivity analysis.[Results] The results of the meta-analysis indicated that, over an 8-week treatment period, the clinical efficacy of Yangxin Dingji capsule in conjunction with conventional Western medicine for the treatment of tachyarrhythmia was superior to that of conventional Western medicine therapy alone, and the difference was found to be statistically significant [ OR =3.32, 95% CI (2.22-4.96), P <0.000 01]. The clinical efficacy of Yangxin Dingji capsule in conjunction with conventional Western medicine for the treatment of tachyarrhythmia was found to be superior when the treatment duration was 4 weeks, and the difference was found to be statistically significant [ OR =2.39, 95% CI (1.45-3.96), P =0.000 7]. The cost-effectiveness analysis indicated that with an 8-week treatment regimen, each 1% increase in the clinical effectiveness rate of Yangxin Dingji capsule in conjunction with conventional Western medical therapy for the treatment of arrhythmia, as compared to conventional Western medical therapy alone, resulted in an increase in cost of 91.78 yuan. Conversely, when the treatment duration was 4 weeks, each 1% increase in the clinical effectiveness rate of the Yangxin Dingji capsule combined with conventional Western medical therapy led to a cost increase of 70.84 yuan.[Conclusions] In the management of tachyarrhythmia, the clinical efficacy of Yangxin Dingji capsule in conjunction with conventional Western medicine therapy is superior to that of conventional Western medicine therapy alone. When the willingness-to-pay value exceeds the corresponding ICER, the combination of Yangxin Dingji capsule with conventional Western medicine therapy is deemed more cost-effective than the use of conventional Western medicine therapy alone.展开更多

文摘针对Oligo(d T)亲和层析介质的吸附性能,以poly(A)为模型分子,考察了4种Oligo(d T)亲和层析介质的静态吸附平衡、吸附动力学和动态结合载量(DBC),探讨了载量影响相关机制。结果表明,4种介质的合适吸附条件均为0.6 mol·L-1Na Cl、p H=6~7;Monomix d T20静态吸附容量最大,且poly(A)能扩散至介质微球深层孔内,而Poros Oligo(d T)25、Praesto Jetted (d T)25和Nano Gel d T20等3种介质中poly(A)均主要为表层吸附、静态吸附容量稍低;对于DBC,Nano Gel d T20和Monomix d T20的10%穿透的DBC较高,而Poros Oligo (d T)25和Praesto Jetted (d T)25相对略低。经分析,影响载量的主要因素包含基质种类、微球孔径、配基密度、间隔臂和配基长度等。对于基质种类,聚苯乙烯基质可能孔道结构较为特别。对于微球孔径,应针对不同大小的m RNA分子定制不同孔径的微球,以平衡传质阻力与可及吸附表面积之间的矛盾,从而增大DBC。
