ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To provide reference for improving the level of pediatric pharmacoeconomic research in China. METHODS： Using “Pediatric”“Pharmacoeconomics”“Cost-effectiveness”“Cost-utility”“Cost-benefit”“Minimum cost ” as keywords，pediatric pharmacoeconomic research literatures published during Jan. 2009 to Dec. 2018 were retrieved from CNKI ， Wanfang，VIP and CBMdisc. The Pediatric Quality Appraisal Questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of the literatures. The problems of these literatures were analyzed to put forward the suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：Totally 140 literatures were eventually included. The number of published literatures was increasing and the distrubtion of journals was scattered. The first auther was mainly from medical institutions. Included literatures mainly involved respiratory disease and drug treatment ，etc. Among them ，15 literatures indicated the research angle ；research time limit of 109 literatures was equal to or less than one year ；6 literatures carried out sensitivity analysis. Most of them adopted cost-effectiveness analysis and decision analysis model. The results of quality evaluation showed that the economic evaluation ，camparators，target population ，outcomes，analysis and conclusions domains had high scores （0.62 to 1.00 score），time horizon and discounting domains had middle scroes （0.49 and 0.53 score respectively），but perspective ，costs and resource use ，incremental analysis ，sensitivity analysis and conflict of intrest domains had low scores （0.10 to 0.31 score）. The main problems of pediatric pharmacoeconomic literatures in China focused on selection of research perspective ，measurement of costs and clinical outcomes ，and selection of analytical methods. The quality of pediatric pharmacoeconomic evaluations in China need to improve. It is suggested to supplement the content of pediatric pharmacoeconomics in China Guidelines for Pharmacoeconomic Evaluations . It is also suggested for pediatric pharmacoeconomic evaluations to clarify the perspective ，standardize the cost identification ，reasonably select health outcome indicators and correctly apply analysis method in order to improve the quality.
ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the methodological quality of CPGs using the Korean AGREE II scoring guide and a web-based appraisal system and was conducted by qualified appraisers. A total of 27 Korean CPGs were assessed under 6 domains and 23 items on the AGREE II instrument using the Korean scoring guide. The domain scores of the 27 guidelines were as following: the mean domain score was 82.7% (median 84.7%, ranging from 55.6% to 97.2%) for domain 1 (scope and purpose); 53.4% (median 56.9%, ranging from 11.1% to 95.8%) for domain 2 (stakeholder involvement); 63.0% (median 71.4%, ranging from 13.5% to 90.6%) for domain 3 (rigor of development); 88.9% (median 91.7%, ranging from 58.3% to 100.0%) for domain 4 (clarity of presentation); 30.1% (median 27.1%, ranging from 3.1% to 67.7%) for domain 5 (applicability); and 50.2% (median 58.3%, ranging from 0.0% to 93.8%) for domain 6 (editorial independence). Three domains including scope and purpose, rigor of development, and clarity of presentation were rated at more than 60% of the scaled domain score. Three domains including stakeholder involvement, applicability, and editorial independence were rated at less than 60% of the scaled domain score. Finally, of the 27 guidelines, 18 (66.7%) were rated at more than 60% of the scaled domain score for rigor of development and were categorized as high-quality guidelines.

Objective To appraise facial skin's quality conveniently and correctly.Methods The quality appraisal model for facial skin image was established based on improved BP nerve network algorithm,and the model was trained with the intrinsic pattern of the training sample,then the appraisal result was output after inputting indexes on the skin.Results For 23 sets of samples,the appraisal accuracy reached 95%.Conclusion The network model,with a high accuracy and a low error rate,is applicable to facial skin image quality appraisal.
