Application of valve removal technique in improved endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM: To investigate the efficacy of valve removal technology in improved endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.METHODS: Prospective randomized controlled study. A total of 92 patients(98 eyes)with nasolacrimal duct obstruction who underwent endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy in our hospital from November 2020 to September 2022 were selected as the study subjects and they were randomly divided into group A(traditional group)and group B(improved group). The nasal mucosal flap was preserved after incision of the nasal mucosa in group A, the lacrimal sac flap and nasal mucosal flap were trimmed to an appropriate shape after the incision of the lacrimal sac, and the lacrimal sac flap the nasal mucosal flap were matched up. Group B made a “□” shaped incision on the nasal mucosa to remove the complete square nasal mucosa tissue. After the lacrimal sac was incised, the lacrimal sac mucosa was preserved as much as possible, and then the residual nasal mucosa was trimmed to make the lacrimal sac flap close to but not in contact with the residual nasal mucosa. Furthermore, the intraoperative bleeding volume and surgical duration of two groups of patients were recorded, and follow up until 3 mo postoperative. Nasal endoscopy and lacrimal duct flushing examinations were performed at 1 and 3 mo postoperative, respectively. The proliferation of granulation tissue within 5 mm of the ostial postoperative and the therapeutic effect were observed.RESULTS: At 3 mo postoperatively, 6 patients(7 eyes)who were lost to follow-up were excluded. A total of 44 eyes were included in group A, and 47 eyes were included in group B. The bleeding volume [27.00(22.00, 41.00)mL] and the surgical duration [35.00(33.00, 42.00)min] in group B were significantly lower than those in the group A(P<0.001). At 1 mo postoperatively, granulation tissue hyperplasia was observed within 5 mm of the ostial in 12 eyes of group A. In group B, granulation tissue hyperplasia was observed within 5 mm of the ostial in 1 eye. At 3 mo postoperatively, there were 9 eyes in group A with ostial adhesions but incomplete closure, and 2 eyes with complete closure; group B had 1 eye with mild adhesions at the ostial site and no ostial closure. The postoperative complications in the group B were significantly less than those in the group A(P<0.05), and the therapeutic effect was better than that in the group A(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The application of valve removal technology in improving endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy not only significantly reduces intraoperative bleeding and surgical duration, but also effectively reduces postoperative complications and improves surgical efficacy.

Research progress on dental materials for preventing root caries / 口腔疾病防治

@#The high incidence and untreated rate of root caries, a common and frequently occurring oral disease with challenging treatment in elderly individuals, is the main cause of tooth loss among elderly people, as rapid development results in pulpitis and periapical periodontitis or residual crown and root, which has been regarded as one of the common chronic oral diseases seriously affecting the quality of life of elderly people. Thus, early intervention and prevention are important. Traditional dental materials for preventing root caries have been widely used in clinical practice; however, they have the disadvantages of tooth coloring, remineralization and low sterilization efficiency. A series of new dental materials for preventing root caries have gradually become a research hotspot recently, which have the advantages of promoting the mineralization of deep dental tissue, prolonging the action time and enhancing adhesion. Future caries prevention materials should be designed according to the characteristics of root surface caries and the application population and should be developed toward simplicity, high efficiency and low toxicity. This review describes current research regarding anti-caries prevention material application, serving as a theoretical underpinning for the research of root caries prevention materials, which is important for both promotion in the effective prevention of root caries and improvement in the status of oral health and the quality of life among old people.

Introduction: Data quality makes it easier to ensure that observational studies are reliable. Objective: To describe assurance and quality control to maintain data reliability and validity in a cohort study. Methodology: We present the data management strategies implemented in a study that followed patients of chronic kidney disease who were in a renal protection program and compared them with those undergoing conventional treatment to observe its association with clinical outcomes. We assessed the changes in error frequency after implementing the plan along with the reproducibility of the strategies for entering records into the databases. Results: We documented a progressive decrease of data collection errors. The Kappa values among data collectors for the most important variables were: 0.960 for creatinine clearance 150 mg/dl; 0.730 for urinary sediment alteration and 0.956 for stage allocation upon admission. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the identification of systolic blood pressure was 0.996; for diastolic blood pressure, the coefficient was 0.993 and for serum creatinine levels at diagnosis, the value was 0.995. Discussion: Data quality begins with the recognition of the challenges and difficulties involved in responsible data collection, hence the contribution of standardized processes and personnel to carry them out in a suitable manner. Studies show that many improvement processes arise in the development of research without pre-established protocols. Conclusion: The reduction in error ratio and type during the data collection process are the result of the early identification of erroneously entered or missing data, the correction of the guidelines for completing forms as well as of the instruments for detecting errors and continuous training of the staff. The analysis showed good inter-rater reliability.

Priorities and root cause analysis of quality and safety problems in chilean hospitals / Prioridades y análisis de las causas de los problemas de calidad y seguridad en hospitales chilenos

BACKGROUND: Quality improvement is an important component of hospital operations. AIM: To prioritise clinical quality and safety problems in Chilean hospitals according to their severity, frequency, and detectability. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was conducted between December 2018 and June 2019. To identify quality and safety problems, an exploratory study was conducted using an online survey aimed to those responsible for clinical quality and safety in Chilean hospitals. The survey was sent to 94 hospitals and completed by quality management personnel at 34 hospitals, yielding a total of 25 valid surveys for analysis. Based on the information gathered, a risk priority score was computed to rank the problems surveyed. Focus groups were held to find the root causes of the quality and safety problem with the highest risk priority score. RESULTS: The three highest risk priorities were:1 ineffective interprofessional communication,2 lack of leadership for addressing frequently recurring safety issues, and3 antimicrobial resistance due to inappropriate use of antibiotics. For the communication problem, the focus group found two main root causes: those due to personnel and those relating to the hospitals themselves. CONCLUSIONS: Hospitals can systematically use the proposed approach to categorize their main clinical quality and safety problems, analyze their causes, and then design solutions.

ANTECEDENTES: La mejora continua de la calidad es un componente importante en las actividades hospitalarias. OBJETIVO: Priorizar los problemas de calidad y seguridad en hospitales chilenos de acuerdo a su severidad, frecuencia y detectabilidad. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se efectuó un estudio exploratorio con una encuesta en línea para detectar problemas de calidad y seguridad, dirigida a quienes están a cargo de los problemas de calidad y seguridad en los hospitales. La encuesta fue enviada a 94 hospitales y respondida por los encargados de calidad y seguridad en 34 de ellos, lográndose 25 encuestas válidas para análisis. El estudio se llevó a cabo entre diciembre de 2018 y junio de 2019. Se diseñó una escala de prioridades de riesgo para determinar la importancia relativa de los problemas detectados. Se llevaron a cabo grupos focales para determinar las causas del problema más importante. RESULTADOS: En Chile, los problemas de calidad y seguridad más importantes son la falta de comunicación interprofesional, falta de liderazgo para abordar los problemas de seguridad y calidad, y resistencia a antibióticos debido a su uso inapropiado. Problemas relacionados al personal y relacionados al hospital fueron las causas primarias de la falta de comunicación. CONCLUSIONES: Los hospitales podrían utilizar este enfoque de forma sistemática para categorizar sus principales problemas de calidad y seguridad, analizar las causas y diseñar soluciones.

O preparo intestinal em dose dividida é superior à dose direta em pacientes hospitalizados submetidos à colonoscopia hospitalar / Split-dose bowel preparation is superior to straight-dose in hospitalized patients undergoing inpatient colonoscopy

ABSTRACT Background: There is a two-fold higher rate of failed colonoscopy secondary to inadequate bowel preparation among hospitalized versus ambulatory patients. Split-dose bowel preparation is widely used in the outpatient setting but has not been generally adapted for use among the inpatient population. Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of split versus single dose polyethylene glycol bowel (PEG) preparation for inpatient colonoscopies and determine additional procedural and patient characteristics that drive inpatient colonoscopy quality. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on 189 patients who underwent inpatient colonoscopy and received 4 liters PEG as either split- or straight-dose during a 6-month period in 2017 at an academic medical center. Bowel preparation quality was assessed using Boston Bowel Preparation Score (BBPS), Aronchick Score, and reported adequacy of preparation. Results: Bowel preparation was reported as adequate in 89% of the split-dose group versus 66% in the straight-dose group (P=0.0003). Inadequate bowel preparations were documented in 34.2% of the single-dose group and 10.7% of the split-dose group (P<0.001). Only 40% of patients received split-dose PEG. Mean BBPS was significantly lower in the straight-dose group (Total: 6.32 vs 7.73, P<0.001). Conclusion: Split-dose bowel preparation is superior to straight-dose preparation across reportable quality metrics for non-screening colonoscopies and was readily performed in the inpatient setting. Interventions should be targeted at shifting the culture of gastroenterologist prescribing practices towards use of split-dose bowel preparation for inpatient colonoscopy.

RESUMO Contexto: Há uma taxa duas vezes maior de colonoscopia com falha secundária ao preparo intestinal inadequado entre pacientes hospitalizados versus ambulatoriais. O preparo intestinal em dose dividida é amplamente utilizado em ambulatório, mas geralmente não foi adaptado para uso entre a população hospitalar. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a eficácia da preparação do intestino de polietilenoglicol (PEG) em dose única versus doses separadas para colonoscopias hospitalares e determinar características adicionais do procedimento e do paciente que promovam a qualidade da colonoscopia do paciente internado. Métodos Um estudo de coorte retrospectivo foi realizado em 189 pacientes que foram submetidos a colonoscopia hospitalar e receberam 4 litros de PEG como dose dividida ou direta durante um período de 6 meses em 2017 em um centro médico acadêmico. A qualidade do preparo intestinal foi avaliada usando-se o Boston Bowel Preparation Score (BBPS), o Aronchick Score, e relatório sobre a adequação do preparo. Resultados O preparo intestinal foi relatado como adequado em 89% do grupo de dose dividida versus 66% no grupo de dose direta (P=0,0003). Preparações intestinais inadequadas foram documentadas em 34,2% do grupo de dose única e 10,7% do grupo de dose dividida (P<0,001). Apenas 40% dos pacientes receberam PEG em dose fracionada. O BBPS médio foi significativamente menor no grupo de dose direta (total: 6,32 vs 7,73, P<0,001). Conclusão O preparo intestinal em dose dividida é superior ao preparo de dose única em todas as métricas de qualidade relacionadas para colonoscopias sem triagem e foi adequadamente realizado no ambiente de internação. As intervenções devem ser direcionadas para mudar a cultura das práticas de prescrição de gastroenterologistas para o uso de preparação intestinal em dose dividida para colonoscopia hospitalar.

RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS China has issued two batches of encouraged generic drug catalogues， and there were 49 varieties of generic drugs included in the catalogues. In the implementation of the priority review system for generic drugs of encouraged generic drug catalogues， there were some problems in legislation， incentive system for the first generic drug， post-marketing re-evaluation system， and cross-departmental coordination and linkage mechanism. It is suggested to strengthen legislation， improve the “first generic market exclusivity period” system， perfect the post-marketing re-evaluation system and form a normalized cross-departmental coordination mechanism so as to ensure the safety， effectiveness and accessibility of generic drugs in China.

Application of PDCA cycle in quality improvement of neonatal resuscitation / 中国新生儿科杂志

Objective:To study the effects of plan-do-check-action (PDCA) cycle in quality improvement of neonatal resuscitation.Methods:From 2016 to 2020, the clinical data of neonates born in our hospital were analyzed. Neonates born during 2016 to 2017 were pre-PDCA group and neonates born during 2018 to 2020 were post-PDCA group. PDCA quality improvement included step-by-step, high-frequency and low-dose training, strengthening teamwork and adding equipment.Results:A total of 7 728 live-birth neonates were delivered before PDCA with 319 cases (4.1%) of asphyxia. 10 174 live-birth neonates were delivered after PDCA with 422 cases (4.1%) of asphyxia. The asphyxia rates showed no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidences of severe asphyxia before and after PDCA were both 0.8% without significant difference ( P>0.05). The success rates of resuscitation for severe asphyxia before and after PDCA was 27.9% and 44.9%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The mortality rates within 7 d before and after PDCA were 0.5‰ and 0.1‰ respectively, without significant differences ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of PDCA cycle and step-by-step, high-frequency, low-dose neonatal resuscitation training can effectively improve the success rate of resuscitation in newborns with severe asphyxia.

The effect of the quality improvement project of admission hypothermia on short-term outcomes of preterm infants less than 34 weeks gestational age / 中国小儿急救医学

Objective:To study the high risk factors of hypothermia in premature infants with gestational age ≤34 weeks, and to analyze the incidence of hypothermia before and after the implementation of the quality improvement program of hypothermia in hospital and its influence on various systemic complications, aiming to improve the early identification of hypothermia and to reveal the important clinical significance of temperature management in time.Methods:Clinical data of preterm infants born in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province from May 2017 to December 2018, with gestational age ≤34 weeks, and admitted within 1 hour after birth were collected.According to the admission temperature, the infants were divided into normal temperature group (36.5-37.5 ℃), mild hypothermia group (36.0-36.4 ℃), moderate hypothermia gsroup (32.0-35.9 ℃), and severe hypothermia group (<32.0 ℃). The high risk factors of hypothermia in premature infants were analyzed.The incidence and degree of hypothermia and the effects on the systemic complications before and after the implementation of the hypothermia quality improvement program were compared.Results:A total of 306 premature infants were enrolled in the study, including 63(20.6%)cases in the normal temperature group, 115(37.6%) cases in the mild hypothermia group, and 128(41.8%) cases in the moderate hypothermia group, without severe hypothermia.Infants with birth asphyxia were at higher risk for hypothermia( OR=0.195, 95% CI 0.046-0.833, P=0.027); the lower the Apgar score at 1 min( r=0.123, P=0.032)and 5 min after birth( r=0.136, P=0.017), the higher the risk of admission hypothermia.After the quality improvement project, the incidence of admission hypothermia decreased from 82.3% to 73.8%( χ2=32.67, P<0.001), and the use of pulmonary surfactant in infants with respiratory distress syndrome was significantly reduced(70.0% vs. 32.0%, χ2=40.11, P<0.001), and the incidence of hypotension within 72 hours after birth decreased(11.8% vs. 4.9%, χ2=3.87, P<0.049). Conclusion:Birth asphyxia is a risk factor for admission hypothermia in premature infants, and Apgar score is associated with admission hypothermia in premature infants.Temperature management of preterm infants can significantly reduce the incidence of hypothermia and hypotension, and reduce the use of pulmonary surfactant in respiratory distress syndrome infants.

Objective:To explore the effect of quality improvement based on action research study to reduce unplanned interruption during continuous renal replacement therapy.Methods:From June 2020 to December 2021, 175 patients who were treated CRRT in SICU of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected as research objects. The objects were divided into control group, observation group 1 and observation group 2 according to the time of admission. Routine nursing was used in the control group (55 cases), the first cycle of plan-action-observation-reflection according to the problems of unplanned interruption was used in the observation group 1(62 cases), the quality improvement was carried out on the basis of the first cycle, and then formulated the second cycle used in the observation group 2(58 cases). The incidence of unplanned interruption of CRRT, the duration of hemofiltration line and the ability of nurses to prevent unplanned interruption of CRRT were compared before and after implementation.Results:The baseline data of CRRT patients in the three groups were comparable ( P>0.05). After cycle quality improvement, the alarm frequencies of unplanned interruption in the observation group 1 and 2 was (8.87 ± 2.66) times and (8.07 ± 2.80) times respectively, which was significant lower than the (12.04 ± 4.23) times in the control group ( t = 3.17 and 3.97, both P<0.01). The cases of coagulation filter≥Ⅱ in the observation group 1 and 2 were 25 cases and 20 cases, which were significant lower than the 32 cases in the control group ( χ2 = 3.72, 6.38, both P<0.05). The duration of blood purification line use was (15.04 ± 7.51) h and (18.16 ± 7.67) h in the observation group 1 and 2, which were significant better than the (11.75 ± 6.84) h in the control group ( t = 3.29 and 6.41, both P<0.01). The ability of nurse to prevent unplanned interruption of CRRT in the control group, the observation group 1 and 2 were (72.62 ± 6.03), (84.77 ± 5.59) and (89.64 ± 4.54), the difference was sigaificant ( F = 146.97, P<0.001). Conclusions:The application of action research study in CRRT quality improvement could reduce the occurrence of unplanned interruption of CRRT and related complications, prolong the use time of hemofiltration line, improve the therapeutic effect of CRRT, improve the quality of nursing, and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Door-to-needle time for intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

Intravenous thrombolysis is an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke, but its benefits are time-dependent. The time from onset to intravenous thrombolysis is divided into onset-to-door time (ODT) and door-to-needle time (DNT). The former reflects pre-hospital delay, while the latter reflects in-hospital delay and can be controlled by stroke improvement plan. This article reviews the influence of DNT on clinical outcomes, the influencing factors of DNT and the stroke improvement plan to shorten DNT.

Lean strategy for data mining and continuous improvement of Chinese pharmaceutical process: a case study of sporoderm-removal Ganoderma lucidum spore powder / 中国中药杂志

In the digital transformation of Chinese pharmaceutical industry, how to efficiently govern and analyze industrial data and excavate the valuable information contained therein to guide the production of drug products has always been a research hotspot and application difficulty. Generally, the Chinese pharmaceutical technique is relatively extensive, and the consistency of drug quality needs to be improved. To address this problem, we proposed an optimization method combining advanced calculation tools(e.g., Bayesian network, convolutional neural network, and Pareto multi-objective optimization algorithm) with lean six sigma tools(e.g., Shewhart control chart and process performance index) to dig deeply into historical industrial data and guide the continuous improvement of pharmaceutical processes. Further, we employed this strategy to optimize the manufacturing process of sporoderm-removal Ganoderma lucidum spore powder. After optimization, we preliminarily obtained the possible interval combination of critical parameters to ensure the P_(pk) values of the critical quality properties including moisture, fineness, crude polysaccharide, and total triterpenes of the sporoderm-removal G. lucidum spore powder to be no less than 1.33. The results indicate that the proposed strategy has an industrial application value.
