ABSTRACT
A patient with fever, chills, and pancytopenia as major clinical manifestations was presented. To investigate the cause, the patient’s peripheral blood was collected for pathogen screening using metagenomic next - generation sequencing (mNGS). The DNA sequence of Leishmania donovani was detected, and Leishmania amastigotes were found in bone marrow smears using microscopy. The case was therefore definitively diagnosed as visceral leishmaniasis, and was cured and discharged from hospital following treatment with liposomal amphotericin B for 14 days. This is the first imported case of visceral leishmaniasis since the founding of Shenzhen City in 1979.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the efficiency changes of private hospitals in Shenzhen and explore influencing factors for the utilization efficiency of health resources. Methods DEA-Tobit two-stage model was used to analyze the operating efficiency and influencing factors of Shenzhen′s private hospitals. Results The range of technical efficiency varied between 0.690 to 0.742 in six years, and the index of total factor production was consistent with the technical change index. The input and output indicators showed non-linear growth. The internal and external factors of sample hospitals jointly influence the efficiency of operation. Conclusions The two-stage method effectively reveals the dynamic efficiency change and the influencing factors of these hospitals in Shenzhen. The technical efficiency of sample hospitals fluctuates in waves in six years,with investment redundancy and insufficient output found. Sample hospitals need to strengthen their innovative application of diagnostic and therapeutic technology,and to strengthen their internal management and improve operating efficiency.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To assess the reliability and validity of SRHMS V1.0 applied to measuring person's self-rated health in Shenzhen.Methods: 5940 individuals received SRHMS V1.0 assessment in Shen Zhen.Results: Cronbach ?琢 of SRHMS V1.0 was 0.924.Cronbach ?琢 of SRHMS V1.0's each dimension of three subscales was from 0.665 to 0.877.The correlation coefficient was 0.604 of split-half scores of SRHMS V1.0.There was a high correlation between each item of SRHMS V1.0 and its dimension,but a low correlation between items and other dimension.Dimension scores correlated significantly with its subscale,and low with other subscale.Factor analysis produced nine main factors that were basically consistent with original theoretical conception about SRHMS V1.0.The correlation of global scale score?three subscales scores and each item were also statistically significant,respective.Conclusion: The results show that SRHMS V1.0 is reliable and valid.
