Practice of refined cost management of medical service charging items based on hospital intelligent agent / 中华医院管理杂志

In recent years, public hospitals have been facing pressure from the reform of medical insurance payment methods. It is urgent to strengthen the operation and management of public hospitals. In June 2022, a tertiary public hospital utilized hospital intelligent agents to carry out refined cost management practices for medical service charging projects, sorted out medical service charging projects, designed management paths, and calculated project costs. The hospital conducted refined management on the cost of medical service charging items from three control dimensions of project unit cost with manpower, equipment and consumables, and two comparative directions with horizontal and vertical. The refined cost management practice not only pointted out the direction for global refinement cost control within the hospital, but also reduced the proportion of hospital consumption, which provided reference for improving the level of refined operation and management of public hospital hospitals.

Research on early identification indicators for anterior cruciate ligament injury based on knee gait analysis / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective:To characterize the knee gait maps of ordinary people, athletes and patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury when walking on a level ground in order to identify potential kinematic indicators for early identification of ACL injury.Methods:From December 2021 to March 2022, 39 ordinary college students (normal group) and 39 college athletes (athlete group) were recruited in Southern Medical University, and 26 patients with ACL injury (patient group) were recruited at the Department of Orthopedics, Guangdong Provincial People＇s Hospital. The normal group consisted of 20 males and 19 females with a median age of 19 (18, 21) years; the athlete group consisted of 22 males and 17 females with a median age of 19 (18, 20) years; the patient group consisted of 23 males and 3 females with a median age of 20 (19, 20) years. A portable knee joint motion capture system was used to collect the knee gait maps of the subjects walking at a speed of 3 km/h on a treadmill. The knee varus and valgus angles, internal and external rotation angles, flexion and extension angles during the movement, and anteroposterior, medial-lateral superior-inferior displacements of the tibia relative to the femur were compared between the 3 groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the general data among the 3 groups except for gender, showing they were comparable ( P>0.05). There were significant differences in the varus and valgus angles during the whole gait cycle (1% to 100%), internal and external rotation angles during the weight-bearing response period (9% to 10%), flexion and extension angles during the stance phase and swing phase (1% to 27%, 29% to 100%), anteroposterior displacements during the weight-bearing reaction phase (1% to 3%) and at the end of the swing phase (96% to 98%), superior-inferior displacements at the middle support phase (15% to 19%), the end of the support phase (29% to 33%, 36% to 43%) and the swing phase (68% to 94%), and medial-lateral displacements at the middle stance phase and the middle swing phase (12% to 82%) among the 3 groups ( P<0.05). The maximum varus and valgus angles (-10.89°±4.55°, -12.20°±4.38°) of the subjects in the normal group and the athlete group were significantly greater than those in the patient group (-5.44°±3.72°) ( P<0.05). The medial-lateral displacement at the middle support phase [3.69 (0.13, 7.25) mm] of the subjects in the normal group was significantly larger than those in the athlete group and the patient group [-0.59 (-6.65, 5.24) mm, 0.96 (-1.54, 3.89) mm] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The gait of college athletes is significantly different from that of ordinary college students and that of patients with ACL injury. Indexes like the varus and valgus angles and the medial-lateral displacement may be used as potential indictors for early identification of ACL injury.

Systematic analysis of drug dispensing errors and preventive measures in outpatient pharmacies / 药学实践杂志

Objective To understand the current situation of dispensing errors and effective prevention and control measures in outpatient pharmacies in domestic hospitals, in order to further improve the quality of drug dispensing. Methods The Chinese journal database was retrieved from 2015 to 2020 for the literature on the dispensing errors of outpatient pharmacies and the continuous improvement of the quality after the measures were taken in secondary and tertiary hospitals. Results Of the 146 literatures retrieved, 13 were included in the analysis (11 in tertiary hospitals and 2 in secondary hospitals). Before the improvement, the median of the drug dispensing error rate was 5.1‰, and after the improvement it was 1.1‰. Before and after the improvement, the types of drug dispensing errors were mainly quantity errors (52.5% vs. 51.3%), variety errors (28.3% vs. 28.7%), specifications and dosage forms errors (6.2% vs. 6.7%), and labeling errors (2.1% vs. 2.9%). The improvement measures taken for the reasons of dispensing errors have a high overlap rate, and they are concentrated in two aspects: personnel factors and drug factors. Conclusion The use of continuous quality improvement tools in hospital outpatient pharmacy to control and prevent dispensing errors is still a hotspot of current research. The composition of the types of errors after improvement has basically not changed. The implemen-tation of standardized operating procedures and other continuous improvement comprehensive measures can effectively reduce the incidence of dispensing errors, and contribute to the implementation of the “Expert Consensus on Medication Error Management in China”.

Synergistic effects of autophagy/mitophagy inhibitors and magnolol promote apoptosis and antitumor efficacy

Mitochondria as a signaling platform play crucial roles in deciding cell fate. Many classic anticancer agents are known to trigger cell death through induction of mitochondrial damage. Mitophagy, one selective autophagy, is the key mitochondrial quality control that effectively removes damaged mitochondria. However, the precise roles of mitophagy in tumorigenesis and anticancer agent treatment remain largely unclear. Here, we examined the functional implication of mitophagy in the anticancer properties of magnolol, a natural product isolated from herbal

Establishing a model of femoral head necrosis by alcohol burning in Cyan-Shank Partridge Chicken: A feasibility analysis / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: To date, the pathological mechanism of femoral head necrosis is still unclear, and the existing experimental animal models of femoral head necrosis all have shortcomings. OBJECTIVE: To establish a simple, reliable and stable animal model of femoral head necrosis in a Cyan-Shank Partridge Chicken, with similar biomechanical characteristics to human beings. METHODS: Twenty-four adult young Cyan-Shank Partridge Chickens were randomly divided into experimental group and control group (n=12 per group). One side of the femoral head was randomly selected for operation, and the other side was untreated (untreated group). In the experimental group, alcohol was used to burn the bone tissue in the drilled hole followed by implantation of the original bone. In the control group, the original bone was directly re-implanted after drilling. X-ray and CT scan examinations were performed 1 month after operation. The femoral head was then dissected for general observation, microCT observation and pathological staining. The study protocol was approved by the Animal Ethic Committee of Xuzhou Medical University in China (approval No. AEC2018-020). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All the Cyan-Shank Partridge Chickens were alive without wrongful death. They could walk upright with no obvious claudication at 1-3 days after operation. X-ray and CT results revealed collapse of the femoral head with unclear trabecular bone in the experimental group. General observation indicated that the femoral head was collapsed with no smooth surface in the experimental group. MicroCT results showed significantly reduced number of bone trabeculae and significantly increased trabecular thickness, trabecular spacing and bone volume fraction in the experimental group as compared with the control and untreated groups (P < 0.05). Pathological staining showed that there was no obvious necrosis but similar shape of the femoral head in the control and untreated groups, but the number of subchondral vessels was less in the control group than the untreated group. However, the cells arranged disorderly and obvious necrosis such as empty lacuna was observed in the experimental group. To conclude, the use of alcohol to burn the bone tissue of the femoral head of the Cyan-Shank Partridge Chicken can be used to establish a typical animal model of femoral head necrosis, which has similar pathological characteristics of human femoral head necrosis.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To provide a basis for early diagnosis and treatment of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) in children by comparing the clinical characteristics of RMPP and general Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Children with MPP hospitalized between October 2015 and December 2016 were selected as study subjects. According to the diagnostic criteria, children were divided into RMPP group (n=152) and MPP group (n=551). The differences between the two groups in the basic situation, clinical manifestations, infection parameters and myocardial enzymes were compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were no significant differences in gender and age between the RMPP and MPP groups (P>0.05). The peak temperature in the RMPP group was significantly higher than that in the MPP group on the first day of admission (P<0.01). The percentage of children with augmentation in the RMPP group was lower than that in the MPP group (P=0.009). The percentage of neutrophils [Ne(%)] and serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels in the RMPP group were both higher than those in the MPP group (P<0.05), while the percentage of lymphocytes was significantly lower in the RMPP group (P<0.05). The serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the RMPP group were also higher than those in the MPP group (P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the peak temperature and LDH were closely related to RMPP in children (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the peak temperature and LDH for the diagnosis of RMPP was 0.647 and 0.637 respectively. In children ≤2 years old, when the threshold value of LDH was 400 U/L, the diagnostic sensitivity was 52.63% and the specificity was 54.84%. In children above 2 years old, when the threshold value of LDH was 335 U/L, the diagnostic sensitivity was 69.92% and the specificity was 51.55%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The children with RMPP have a high fever in the early stage. Meanwhile there are abnormal laboratory test results in these children. Elevated serum LDH levels have a high clinical value of early diagnosis of RMPP, especially in children above 2 years.</p>

Problems and Countermeasures of Comprehensive Budget Management in Community Health Center / 中国卫生经济

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the distribution of pathogenic microorganisms in different genders, age groups and seasons in children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and the relationship between the distribution of pathogenic microorganisms and clinical features.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 1,155 children with CAP were enrolled, among whom there were 670 boys and 485 girls, with a mean age of 3.1±2.8 years (range: one month to 14 years). Indirect immunofluorescence assay, particle agglutination test, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, colloidal gold method. and bacterial culture were applied to determine common respiratory pathogenic microorganisms in sputum, throat swabs, blood samples, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and urine.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 758 specimens (65.63%) were tested positive by pathogen detection. The top three dominant pathogens were Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP, 43.64%), bacteria (15.12%), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV, 9.26%), and the rate of mixed infection was 16.02%. The rates of MP infection between boys and girls with CAP were different (40.8% vs 47.6%; P<0.05). The MP detection rate was the highest in the age group of 6-14 years (77.4%) and the lowest in children younger than 1 year (11.2%), while the detection rates of bacteria and RSV were the highest in children younger than 1 year (21.2% and 17.2%, respectively). The MP detection rate was significantly higher in summer and autumn than in winter and spring, while the detection rates of bacteria and RSV in summer and autumn were significantly lower than those in winter and spring. Among children who were MP positive, fever, chills, cough, crackles were more likely to appear; children with RSV infection were more likely to have wheezes; children with bacterial infection were less likely to have cough. Serum levels of C-reactive protein and procalcitonin were associated with bacterial infection (OR=1.747 and 1.418, respectively; both P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>MP plays a more and more important role in the pathogenic microorganisms of CAP in children. Prevalence and outbreaks of MP infection among children should be alerted in summer and autumn. There are differences in the detection rate of various pathogenic microorganisms in CAP children with various age groups. The clinical features of children with CAP caused by different pathogenic microorganisms are different.</p>

Opportune time and method of reconstruction of penile defects caused by devastating electrical burn / 中华烧伤杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the timing and suitable method of reconstructing penile defects caused by devastating electrical burn.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirteen patients with penile defects after devastating electrical burn, hospitalized from September 1998 to August 2013, were included in this study. After the necrotic tissues in the wounds were removed by dressing changes, a local or a hinge-like flap constructed from scrotum or abdominal wall, a prelaminated hinge-like flap from forearm, or a free forearm flap was selected, according to the injury degree of the penis, for the repair of the defect or reconstruction of penis respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The flaps survived and the wounds healed well in 2 patients repaired with local flaps from scrotum or abdominal wall. Urethritis occurred in 2 patients 6 to 9 months after the transplantation of hinge-like flaps from scrotum, and they were cured by appropriate drugs. Functions of urination and erection of penis were recovered in these 4 patients. All flaps survived in the 5 patients repaired with hinge-like flaps from abdominal wall or prelaminated flaps from forearm. The wounds in 2 patients healed; wound dehiscence occurred in the other 3 patients in different degrees, and they healed after suturing for 2 or 3 times. The function of erection of penis recovered in these 5 patients, but with discontinuity of urinary stream during urination. Among them, 3 married patients enjoyed satisfactory sexual life. All free forearm flaps survived and the wounds healed well in 4 patients. Urinary fistula occurred in 1 patient, and it was repaired by a secondary operation. These 4 patients experienced normal urination function, but only 2 patients in whom corpus spongiosum partially remained retained the function of erection of penis to certain degree. All these 4 patients could not perform normal sexual intercourse. All patients were followed up for 6 to 13 months after surgery. Under ordinary state, the length of penis was 5.9-9.3 cm, and the circumference of penis was 8.4-10.0 cm. Wound scar was not obvious in all cases. Nine patients reported a restricted erection.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Penile defect caused by devastating electrical burn should be repaired with a suitable flap after necrotic tissues are removed with dressing change. To repair affected penis with necrosis of a small part of cavernous body and/or corpus spongiosum, or combined with urethra defects, local flaps from scrotum or abdominal wall or hinge-like flap from scrotum should be employed. To repair those with necrosis of a large part or the whole of corpus spongiosum combined with urethra defects, hinge-like skin flaps from abdominal wall or prelaminated flaps from forearm should be employed. In patients with necrosis of a large part of cavernous body and corpus spongiosum combined with urethra defect, or total loss of penis, free forearm flaps should be employed to reconstruct penis.</p>

Application of novel silicon bioinert perforated chambers in tissue-engineering of cartilage in vivo / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To explore the potential applications of a chamber for in vivo tissue engineering,and to establish a novel model for in vivo tissue-engineered cartilage.Methods Auricular chondrocytes were isolated,cultured and identified from the ears cartilages of New Zealand white rab bits; rabbit auricular chondrocytes(RACs) were seeded into the scaffolds:(1) RACs were seeded into collagen gel scaffold; (2) RACs were seeded into PLGA/collagen gel scaffold in vitro,and the compos ites were placed into the chambers and implanted in the donor rabbit.As control groups,the composites were implanted directly subcutaneously in the donor rabbit without using chambers,and the contents were harvested at 8 weeks after implantation.Gross examination,histologic and immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR test were performed to evaluate the harvested contents.Results Under the same conditions inside the chambers,the contents formed into new cartilage-like tissue by histo logical and immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR.In contrast,in the control groups without chambers displayed vascular invasion and inflammatory reaction in the subcutaneous layer of skin,which eventually led to fibrous tissue or absorption.Conclusions Cartilage is successfully constructed in an immunocompetent animal model using a bioinert perforated chamber.This method is effective in creating a relatively favorable environment for cartilage regeneration,which may provide a valuable reference for the clinical application of tissue regeneration.
