Research on the mode of rural village-level health resource allocation under the concept of regional integration / 中华医院管理杂志

The in-depth advancement of the new era reforms such as new urbanization and rural revitalization strategies has transformed the characteristics and resource structure of rural villages. The traditional village health resources allocation models based on administrative divisions needed to evolve and achieve fair allocation and higher efficiency, and better meet the needs of rural primary health services. The authors sorted out the current status of village health resources allocation models. Based on such concepts as regional integration, and such key elements as demographics, population, health needs and information technology, the authors proposed the village-level health resources allocation model and selection strategy, under the three regional integration theories of township-village integration, village-area integration, and village leadership assistance. Their efforts aim at providing new perspectives for better protection and promotion of health of rural residents.

The significance of T-SPOT.TB and erythrocyte sedimentation rate test in the diagnosis of simple pulmonary nodules in Xinjiang / 中国胸心血管外科临床杂志

@#Objective    To investigate the diagnostic value of tuberculosis T cell spot test (T-SPOT.TB) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test in the diagnosis of simple pulmonary nodules in Xinjiang. Methods    A retrospective analysis of 72 patients with asymptomatic simple pulmonary nodules in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from October 2017 to July 2019 was performed. According to the pathological results, the patients were divided into a tuberculoma group [n=23, including 14 males and 9 females, aged 37-84 (56.91±12.73) years] and a lung cancer group [n=49, including 31 males and 18 females, aged 34-83 (61.71±10.15) years]. The predictive value of T-SPOT.TB and ESR results for the diagnosis of simple pulmonary nodules was evaluated. Results    The positive rate of T-SPOT.TB in the tuberculoma group (69.60%) was higher than that in the lung cancer group (42.90%) (χ2=5.324，P=0.021), with a sensitivity of 69.56% and specificity of 57.14%; the positive ESR was 47.80%in the tuberculoma group and 59.20% in the lung cancer group, and no statistical difference was found between the two groups (χ2=0.981, P=0.322), with a sensitivity of 47.82% and specificity of 40.81%; the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.618, the 95% confidence interval of AUC was (0.479, 0.758), and the Youden’s index was 0.267 with a sensitivity of 69.60% and specificity of 57.10%. Difference in the T-SPOT.TB and ESR test results was statistically significant (χ2=4.986, P=0.026), but the correlation between the tests was weak with a Pearson contingency coefficient of 0.199. ESR results in patients with different ages were statistically different (χ2=7.343, P=0.025), but the correlation between age and ESR results was weak with a Pearson contingency coefficient of 0.239; T-SPOT.TB results in patients with different ages were not statistically different (χ2=0.865, P=0.649), and the correlation between age and ESR results was weak with a Pearson contingency coefficient of 0.084. Conclusion    The diagnostic value of T-SPOT.TB and ESR tests is small in the diagnosis of simple pulmonary nodules.

Polyethylene ethanol hydration seaweed salt for vacuum sealing drainage in repair of orthopedic wounds / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:In recent years, vacuum sealing drainage technology has been widely used in the treatment of orthopedic wounds or to facilitate skin graft survival, both of which have achieved good results. OBJECTIVE:To observe the curative effects of vacuum sealing drainage technology in the wound healing after limb open fractures, soft tissue defects, pressure sores, and chronic osteomyelitis. METHODS:Fifty-four patients of fractures combined with soft tissue defects, postoperative exposed bone, osteomyelitis, a large area of pressure ulcers or severe infections, selected from the 273rd Hospital of PLA, were randomly divided into test and control groups according to the wishes of patients. The test group included 36 patients who were treated with vacuum sealing drainage using polyethylene ethanol hydration seaweed salt after debridement, and the control group included 18 patients who were treated with conventional dressing. Wound cleaning time, number of dressings, and wound healing time were detected and compared in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the wound cleaning time and wound healing time were shorter in the test group, and the number of dressings was also decreased in the test group (P<0.05). After removal of sponge dressings, in the test group, wound granulation was fresh and grew obviously with no exudates after the necrotic residue was removed and vacuum sealing drainage was changed. For the bone exposure patients, the wound area was reduced, or even there was no exposed bone any more. After skin grafting, vacuum suction and pressure due to vacuum sealing drainage technology made al skin grafts survive. In the patients with chronic osteomyelitis, the exudates were gradual y reduced until disappeared after vacuum sealing drainage was exchanged three or four times, and pathogens were not found in bacterial culture. After combined treatment of debridement and vacuum sealing drainage, there were many fresh granulations in the patients with large areas of pressure sores;after replacement of vacuum sealing drainage several times, the granulation grew to the same height with the surrounding skin.
