ABSTRACT
Objective To develop a medical assets management system involving in early warning information platform,barcoding technology and whole-life management.Methods The system was developed based on requirement analysis as well as the technologies of Web,mobile communication,mobile application and etc.Real-time monitoring of the flows of assets and funds were realized by information flow so as to master dynamic information on medical assets.Results Real-time and dynamic management of hospital fixed and circulatory assets were executed with a department,a system and a set of reports,and the problems were solved resulting from over-centralized authority for purchase,warehousing,reporting and etc.Conclusion The system gains advantages in cost control,assets utilization efficiency and etc.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the value of the liquid-based cytology (LBC) of brushing specimens obtained via fiberoptic bronchoscopy for clinical diagnosis of lung cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We retrospectively analyzed the LBC cases in our hospital from January 2011 to May 2012, and evaluate its role in the diagnosis of lung cancer.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The clinical data of a total of 4 380 cases were reviewed and 3 763 of them had histopathological or clinical follow-up results (including 3 306 lung cancer cases and 457 benign lesion cases). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of LBC diagnosis for lung cancer were 72.4% (2 392/3 306), 99.3% (454/457) and 75.6% (2 846/3 763), respectively. Of the 1 992 lung cancer cases diagnosed by brushing LBC, 528 cases (26.5%) were failed to take forceps biopsy and 113 cases (5.7%) showed negative forceps biopsy results. The accurate rate of subtyping of LBC for non-small cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma was 99.0% (1 487/1 502) (P < 0.001). Take the resection histopathology as gold standard, the accurate rates of subtyping squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma by LBC were 95.6% (351/367), 95.6% (351/367) and 100% (367/367), respectively, (P < 0.001). The accurate rates of subtyping of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma by forceps biopsy were 97.0% (293/302), 97.4% (294/302) and 99.7% (301/302), respectively, (Kappa = 0.895, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in subtyping respectively between forceps biopsy and brushing LBC (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Fiberoptic bronchoscopic brushing liquid-based cytology can significantly improve the detection rate of lung cancer, and have a high specificity and accurate rate of subtyping. It is an effective tool for the diagnosis and subtyping of lung cancer.</p>
