The authors summarized the current status of national regional medical centers, and analyzed challenges faced in management and operation mode, government investment and compensation mechanism, expansion of high-quality psychiatric medical resources, as well as research and innovation of mental diseases of these centers. On such basis, the authors put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions for the next stage of development.

Analysis of risk factors and prediction model establishment for early postoperative recurrence in glioma patients / 国际肿瘤学杂志

Objective:To investigate the related factors of early postoperative recurrence of glioma patients and to establish a prediction model for early recurrence.Methods:A total of 94 patients with pathologically diagnosed glioma treated at Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from August 2014 to July 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis and log-rank test was carried out. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the clinical factors influencing early postoperative recurrence of glioma patients, and the prediction model of early recurrence was established.Results:The recurrence rates were 26.6% (25/94) and 39.4% (37/94) at 12 months and 24 months after operation, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that age ( χ2=9.59, P=0.008), degree of tumor resection ( χ2=14.26, P<0.001), Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score ( χ2=19.41, P<0.001), radiochemotherapy ( χ2=5.10, P=0.024) and pathological grade ( χ2=5.83, P=0.016) were significantly associated with early postoperative recurrence in glioma patients. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis showed that pathological grade ( OR=2.64, 95% CI: 1.75-3.97, P<0.001), degree of resection ( OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.19-0.62, P<0.001) and radiochemotherapy ( OR=2.58, 95% CI: 1.34-4.99, P=0.005) were independent factors influencing early postoperative recurrence in glioma patients. The risk function model expression of early recurrence in glioma patients was h(t)=h 0exp(0.970X 1-1.081X 2+ 0.949X 3). X 1, X 2 and X 3 represented pathological grade, resection degree and radiochemotherapy respectively. Conclusion:High grade pathology and the absence of radiochemotherapy are independent predictors of early recurrence in glioma patients, and complete tumor resection can reduce the risk of early recurrence and improve the prognosis. The model of early recurrence prediction can provide some reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

A spatial-temporal hybrid feature extraction method for rapid serial visual presentation of electroencephalogram signals / 生物医学工程学杂志

Rapid serial visual presentation-brain computer interface (RSVP-BCI) is the most popular technology in the early discover task based on human brain. This algorithm can obtain the rapid perception of the environment by human brain. Decoding brain state based on single-trial of multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) recording remains a challenge due to the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and nonstationary. To solve the problem of low classification accuracy of single-trial in RSVP-BCI, this paper presents a new feature extraction algorithm which uses principal component analysis (PCA) and common spatial pattern (CSP) algorithm separately in spatial domain and time domain, creating a spatial-temporal hybrid CSP-PCA (STHCP) algorithm. By maximizing the discrimination distance between target and non-target, the feature dimensionality was reduced effectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of STHCP algorithm is higher than that of the three benchmark algorithms (SWFP, CSP and PCA) by 17.9%, 22.2% and 29.2%, respectively. STHCP algorithm provides a new method for target detection.

Empirical study of China's hospital management using methodology of World Management Survey / 中华医院管理杂志

Objective To explore methods to measure the management level of Chinese hospitals in natural conditions of Chinese hospitals, for improvement of their operation efficiency. Methods The methodology of World Management Survey( WMS) was introduced, and the questionnaire was localized using expert consultation method. Double-blind telephone interviews were conducted to investigate the management level of Chinese hospitals in the four dimensions of standardized operation, performance monitoring, target setting and talent management. Results The management level of hospitals in China varied greatly from places. Among them, the hospital management scoring was found to range from 2. 50 to 2. 75 in most cases, averaging 2. 55. These hospitals scored relatively poor at the four specific management practices of hospital layout(2.48), performance communication(2.27), talents retention, and clarity and comparability of objectives(2. 45). Management level of a hospital was correlated to such factors as its history, ownership form, human capital and hospital size. Conclusions This study uses WMS methodology to quantify Chinese hospital management. The overall management level of Chinese hospitals is expected to improve with much gaps to cover. At this stage, it is imperative to solve the unbalanced and inadequate development of hospital management levels, among regions, hospital grades and forms of ownership.

Studies on the mechanism of Syk and JNK in the heart tissue of type 1 diabetic rats / 天津医药

Objective To investigate the expressions of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), c-Jun amino terminal kinase (JNK) and nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in the heart tissue in SD rat model of diabetic cardiomyopathy, and to explore the relationship between Syk, JNK and NLRP3. Methods Clean male SD rats were randomly divided into the control (Ctrl) group and diabetic cardiomyopathy model (DCM) group. Rats of DCM group were treated with a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ), while rats of Ctrl group were injected with the same dose of citrate buffer. The random blood glucose level and body weight were monitored every week until 20 weeks after STZ or citrate buffer injection, then all the rats were killed and their hearts were obtained. Rat H 9c2 cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into normal glucose treatment (NG) group, high glucose treatment (HG) group, Syk inhibitor control (BAY) group and Syk inhibitor high glucose (HG+BAY) group. The Syk and JNK phosphorylations and NLRP3 protein expression were detected by Western blot assay in the heart tissue of SD rats and H9c2 cardiomyocytes. The NLRP3, cysteine-containing aspartate specific protease 1(caspase-1) and interleukin (IL)-1β expressions at mRNA level were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results The random blood glucose level was significantly increased (P<0.05) and the body weight was significantly decreased (P<0.05) in DCM group compared with those of Ctrl group. The expressions of cardiac p-Syk, p-JNK and NLRP3 at protein level were significantly increased in DCM group compared with those of Ctrl group (P<0.05). Furthermore, the mRNA levels of NLRP3, caspase-1 and IL-1β were significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05). BAY treatment significantly inhibited the high glucose-induced NLRP3, caspase-1 and IL-1β mRNA expressions and p-JNK, NLRP3 protein expressions in H9c2 cardiomyocytes (P < 0.05). Conclusion JNK phosphorylation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation induced by Syk play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
