1.An optimal penalty model of anti-medical violence legislation
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2018;34(5):403-407
From the perspective of law-and-economics, this paper analyzed the characteristics between medical workplace and other workplace in terms of public safety liability, risk identifiability and preventability. Then it went on to explore the costs structure incurred by medical violence, namely personal costs of victims, public safety cost, risk prevention cost and service supply cost. A law-and-economics optimal penalty model is then developed based on the benchmark of crime of violence free of social cost, and by incorporating the social cost of medical violence. And it is found that an upward deflection of the crime cost curve sharply drives up the optimal penalty corresponding to various levels of violence, and lowers the threshold violence constituting criminal offence, thus balancing the social costs borne by the public for medical violence.
2.Anti-medical violence legislation: international experience and inspirations for China
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2018;34(5):408-412
Traditional mindset in anti-medical violence legislation tends to divert the responsibility to prevent medical violence to the party of the lowest costs, a design of obvious loopholes in reducing medical violence occurrence. By combining the legal liability and penalty adjustment to counter medical violence crimes, the US, Australia and South Korea are trying to match the private cost of victims and its social cost with the punishment of crime law. In this sense, China should highlight the nature of public safety of medical service, zero tolerance report and optimal punishment to medical violence crimes. This approach can take place of the existing incentive mechanism featuring violent conflicts, being conducive to building a safe and harmonious doctor-patient relationship.

8.Analysis on syndrome differentiation and treatment of "heat fecaloma with watery discharge" in critically ill elderly patients
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2018;25(3):225-227
Objective In critically ill elderly patients with "heat fecaloma with watery discharge", deficiency syndrome occupies its eighty to ninety percent, while "heat accumulation" occupies its ten to twenty percent; in fact, it is "dry feces accumulation stagnation and manure water side stream". Factors of Qi deficiency, blood deficiency, Yin deficiency, Yang deficiency, etc. are the main causes of dry stool accumulating in the intestine and manure water flows to side stream. The therapeutic principles of this disease should be removing stasis by purgation, in the mean time supplementing Qi and moistening intestine, or moisturizing dryness by nourishing blood, or supplementing Yin and increasing fluids, or warming yang for relaxing bowels in order to solve the root causes of the disease. The mechanism of heat fecaloma with watery discharge in critically ill elderly patients is different from that of general patients; clinically it is necessary to interrogate the disease history in detail, synthesize the four diagnostic methods, and differentiate manifestations from root cause, deficiency from sthenia, mildness from severity and amelioration from urgency. Casually using attack should be avoided, and aiming to treat its root cause is the proper therapeutic method.

Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2019;26(3):307-309
Objective To observe the clinical effect of Levosimendan for treatment of patients with refractory heart failure in order to provide a reference for doctors treating this disease. Methods One hundred and eighty patients with refractory heart failure were admitted to Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province from February 2014 to December 2017, and they were divided into two groups by random number table method: a western medicine routine treatment group (western control group) and a Levosimendan group, each group 90 cases. The patients in western control group were given conventional anti-cardiac failure drugs ; and those in Levosimendan group were treated with the therapies as above group, and additionally Levosimendan continuous intravenous infusion for 24 hours was given. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated after 3 days of treatment. After treatment, the differences of ejection fraction (EF), stroke volume (SV), end-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic volume (EDV) and the levels of N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, the EF and SV levels were significantly increased, while the ESV, EDV, NT-proBNP and cTnI levels were decreased obviously compared with those before treatment in the two groups (all P <0.05); the changes of the levels of EF, SV and NT-proBNP and cTnI of Levosimendan group were more significant than those of the western control group [EF: 0.49±0.06 vs. 0.44±0.06, SV (mL): 86.54±17.63 vs. 81.48±18.46, NT-proBNP (μg/L): 5.50±1.28 vs. 6.64±1.54, cTnI (μg/L): 0.08±0.01 vs. 0.14±0.13, all P < 0.05], while there were no significant differences of the levels of ESV and EDV between the two groups [ESV (mL): 111.56±32.53 vs. 128.76±32.13, EDV (mL): 187.95±39.28 vs. 185.06±41.23, both P > 0.05]. The total effective rate of the Levosimendan group was obviously higher than that of the western control group [97.78% (88/90) vs. 78.89% (71/90), P < 0.05]. Conclusion Levosimendan can effectively improve the hemodynamics in patients with refractory heart failure, the elevation of patients' heart function, and the short-term therapeutic effect is very remarkable.
