Mitigation effects of foliar supply of different sulfur forms on uptake, translocation and grain accumulation of Cd and As by paddy rice on basis of liming.

Co-contamination of Cd and As in strongly acidic paddy soil has posed great challenges for remediation practice due to their distinct properties. Liming is a necessary but inadequate measure for normal growth of paddy rice and for Cd and As remediation in strongly acidic paddy soils rich in iron minerals. A greenhouse rice pot cultivation experiment was conducted to explore the efficiency and mechanisms of how foliar supply of different sulfur forms (KS, KSO) could further mediate the uptake, translocation and grain accumulation of Cd and As by paddy rice on basis of liming.

Cost-effectiveness of ensartinib for patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive non-small-cell lung cancer in China.

Crizotinib and ensartinib improved survival in patients with arrangement non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, the economic outcomes of using ensartinib versus crizotinib are still unclear. The objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of ensartinib versus crizotinib for -positive NSCLC patients from the perspective of China's healthcare system. A partitioned survival model with three health states (stable, progressive and death) was developed.

The efficacy of Endostar combined with platinum pleural infusion for malignant pleural effusion in tumor patients is significantly better than that of monotherapy, but the economy is lower: a systematic review, network meta-analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis.

Background: Endostar and platinum were widely used in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion (MPE), but there was no unified conclusion on which scheme is the best. The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of Endostar, cisplatin, lobaplatin, Endostar combined with cisplatin, and Endostar combined with lobaplatin in the treatment of MPE so as to provide a reference for clinical treatment.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed of sources on PubMed, Web of Science, and other databases published up to and including November 23, 2021, and screened out randomized controlled trial (RCT) concerning the efficacy of 5 interventions of pleural perfusion for MPE.
