    Tumor vaccine therapy activates and enhances the body's natural immune response against tumor cells by utilizing specific antigens present in the tumor microenvironment. These antigens are specifically expressed by tumorspecific proteins only in tumor cells, are not affected by central immune tolerance, and have both high immunogenicity and tumor specificity, making them ideal targets for treatment and a promising direction for personalized immunotherapy. Although the research and application of immunotherapy in malignant melanoma has a long history and has achieved significant results, there are still considerable limitations. This article reviewed the types and mechanisms of tumor vaccines related to malignant melanoma and analyze the effectiveness and limitations of each type of vaccine.

    Objective To evaluate the impact of the pilot policy on the medical insurance payment standard for pilot drugs of a grade-A tertiary hospital in Xinjiang, and to provide empirical reference for the further optimization of medical insurance payment standard policies in Xinjiang. Methods Extracted the monthly data of pilot drug prices, usage amounts and usage quantities from the target hospital medicine management information system, checked the data integrity, and use the intermittent time series model to analyze the pilot drugs with high data integrity. Results A total of 5 pilot drugs were included. After the implementation of the pilot policy of medical insurance payment standard, the prices of Jinshuibao tablets, enteral nutrition emulsion and iron sucrose injection in the target hospitals showed a signiffcant downward trend (P<0.05). The usage volume and expenditrue of Jinshuibao tablets immediately increased, while silymarin capsules and magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection showed a downward trend(P<0.05). Conclusion The prices and costs of most of the pilot drugs in the target hospitals have decreased signiffcantly, and the usage amounts have also reduced, which helps to alleviate the ffnancial burden of patients and save the medical insurance fund. Changes in the use of the pilot drugs vary and require further analysis in conjunction with other information. In addition, the pilot policy of medical insurance payment standard in Xinjiang still has a large lag.
