ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the correlation between serum vitamin D level and glucose and lipid metabolism among primary and middle school students in Inner Mongolia, so as to providing a scientific basis for guiding rational vitamin D supplementation among primary and middle school students in Inner Mongolia Region.@*Methods@#A total of 2 206 students of primary and middle school students from 8 counties (districts) in Inner Mongolia were enrolled for a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory test by a multi stage stratified random sampling approach.The levels of fasting blood glucose, blood lipid and other related indexes with different vitamin D levels were analyzed, and their correlation was further discussed.@*Results@#The deficiency and insufficiency rates of vitamin D among primary and middle school students were 33.2% and 42.8%, respectively, and the suitable rate was 24.0%. The body mass index (BMI) and waist height ratio (WHtR) of the vitamin D deficiency group [(22.87±7.41) kg/m 2 , 0.46±0.08)]were higher than the insufficiency [(20.59±8.00)kg/m 2, 0.44±0.09)] and suitable group [(18.01±7.38)kg/m 2, 0.43 ±0.08)] ( P <0.05). Compared with the vitamin D suitable group [(3.87±0.85) mmol/L], the total cholesterol (TC) level in the deficiency group [(3.73±0.67)mmol/L] decreased, with a statistically significant difference ( P <0.05). The levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL) in the vitamin D insufficiency[(1.40±0.33)mmol/L] and deficiency groups [(1.34±0.31)mmol/L] were lower than the suitable group [(1.48±0.34)mmol/L], with a statistically significant difference ( P <0.05). The detection rate of hyperuricemia (HUA) in the vitamin D deficiency group (22.95%) was higher than the suitable group (17.20%), with a statistically significant difference ( P <0.016 7). Pearson correlation analysis showed that vitamin D was negatively correlated with BMI and WHtR ( r =-0.23, -0.11), and positively correlated with TC and HDL level ( r =0.06, 0.16) ( P <0.05).@*Conclusions@#The deficiency and insufficiency rates of serum vitamin D among primary and middle school students in Inner Mongolia are high which are associated with several indicators of blood lipids. Therefore, it is recommended to supplement vitamin D preparations in moderation in daily life.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the prevalence and association of hyperuricemia (HUA) and hypertriglyceridemic Waist (HTW) phenotype in children and adolescents aged 6-17 years in Inner Mongolia, providing a basis for the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia in adolescents in Inner Mongolia.@*Methods@#A total of 2 175 students of primary, junior high, and senior high school students from eight counties (districts) in Inner Mongolia were chosen and received a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory test by used a multi stage stratified random sampling approach. The association between the HTW phenotype and HUA was analyzed using binary Logistic regression.@*Results@#The prevalence of the HTW phenotype was 2.1%, with boys(2.5%) higher than that of girls(1.6%) ( χ 2=14.50, P<0.05). The average SUA level of the participants was 308.00 (259.00, 371.00) mmol/L, with a statistically significant sex difference(Z=-9.87, P<0.05). The prevalence of HUA was 21.1%. The frequency of HUA in the HTW phenotype(44.4%) was higher than in other phenotypes, followed by enlarged waist (EW) phenotype. After controlling for associated variables, the EW phenotypes (OR=1.76，95%CI=1.26-2.47) and HTW phenotypes (OR=2.25, 95%CI=1.12-4.52) were associated with higher risk for HUA(P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#In Inner Mongolia, the prevalence of HUA in children and adolescents aged 6-17 years is high, and there shows a positive association between the HTW phenotype and hyperuricemia. For the prevention of hyperuricemia, more attention should be paid to children and adolescents with HTW phenotype.

ABSTRACT
By using the diagnosis related groups(DRGs) method, we analyze and compare the rationality and feasibility of outcomes and human resources distribution of clinical specialties and health care professionals.It may increase the hospital management levels and feasibility.The introduction of DRGs for the majority of hospital management may enhance the performance evaluation and human resource levels in the hospitals.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the applicability of case mix index (CMI) in medical performance evaluation of different type of hospitals and its calculation method.Methods Standardized adjustment to the CMI value of hospitals according to the CMI of the main disease categories (MDC) of short-term inpatient cases of the city, to align the CMI values of various hospitals with their levels of medical and technical services.Results The said adjustment ensures the CMI value to better represent the levels of such hospitals.Conclusion The adjusted CMI calculation method can provide accurate data support for various hospitals' performance evaluation.
ABSTRACT
Objective Taking the respiratory department of internal medicine as an example, to compare the coverage of clinical treatment of the MDC covered by DRGs of Beijing version with the professional services offered as secondary clinical treatment subjects in China.Methods Using the data from medical record home page from hospitals in Beijing above secondary level from 2012 to 2014 and both the DRGs defined in Pareto diagram statistical method and the DRGs proved by experts, for analysis and definition of the DRGs coverage involved by respiratory discipline of internal medicine.Results Respiratory discipline of internal medicine involved DRGs of 42 groups as found by the two methods.Conclusion The DRGs scope of secondary clinical departments in hospitals should be made based on both expert consultation and clinical data statistics method.
ABSTRACT
2013 witnessed the full coverage of the medical insurance lump-sum prepayment management at all hospitals above secondary level in Beijing.As a result,medical insurance management of the hospital turned its focus from“ expense settlement” to“ expense management”,with a multidimensional,multi-method,multi-sectoral and multi-index lump-sum prepayment of medical insurance management system set up.Methods and concepts introduced included diagnosis related groups (DRGs) management tools in hospitalization service management; equivalent hospital departments comparison in outpatient service for post management; the concept of total budget management concept,and the “market-operations-finance-performance” linkage mechanism for priority control of drug expenses; and focused management on key patient groups and drug/consumable suppliers.
ABSTRACT
The hospital designed a new business process according to the business process reengineering theory and requirement of Diagnosis Related Groups-prospective payment.This new process has scored good outcomes following adjustment of department functions,staffing and equipment installation,as well as process optimization,and policy explanations.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical therapeutic outcomes and the radiographs changes of lumbar degeneration disease treated by dynamic stabilization device (Wallis). Methods Eighty-four cases of lumbar degeneration disease were treated by threaded fusion cage, from May 1997 to May 2002. The JOA scores, the rate of fusion,cage sink and adjacent segment degeneration were observed. Results The average hospitalizotion was 23.59 days. The mean operation time was 3.00 hours. The mean JOA scores were 13.93 before the operation,while 26.69 on the end of the following time respectively; there was statistical significant. The mean motion of operative segment was 5.22 before operation, while 2.44 on the end of the following time respectively. The mean extension of operative segment was 3.32 before operation ,while 1.39 on the end of the following time respectively. The mean motion of adjacent segment was 3.68 before operation, while 6.54 on the end of the following time respectively. The mean extension of adjacent segment was 1.95 before operation,while 3.95 on the end of the following time respectively. There were all statistical significant on those changes of Cobbs angel. Conclusions The long-term therapeuptic effect of WALLIS treatment for lumbar degeneration disease is reliable. The motion of operative segment was significant decreased, especially on extension. The motion of adjacent segment was significant increased, the degree extension of adjacent segment was also significant increased.
