Objective To investigate the feasibility of setting mAs in liver enhanced CT scan according to plain scan noise with fixed mA CT scanner,in order to reduce the radiation dose.Methods One hundred continuous patients underwent liver enhanced CT scan (group A) prospectively.Two hundred and fifty mAs was used in plain and enhanced CT scans.Noises of plain and venous phase CT images were measured,and the image quality was evaluated.The equation between mAs of enhanced scan and noise of plain scan image was derived.Another 100 continuous patients underwent liver enhanced CT scan (group B).Enhanced scan mAs was calculated from noise on plain scan by using the equation above.Noises on venous phase images were measured and the image quality was measured.Based on body mass index (BMI),patients in groups A and B were divided into three subgroups respectively:BMI < 18.5 kg/m2,18.5 kg/m2 ≤ BMI < 25.0 kg/m2 and BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2.Image quality score was compared with nonparametric rank sum test,CT dose index (CTDI) and effective dose (ED) were measured and compared between each subgroup with 2 independent samples t or t' test.Results The equation between enhanced scan mAs (mAsX) and plain scan noise (SDp) was as follows:mAsX =mAs1 × [(0.989 × SDp + 1.06) /SDx]2,mAs1 =250 mAs,SDx =13.In patients with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2,ED of group A [(6.86 ±0.38) mSv,n =12] was significantly higher than group B [(2.66 ±0.46) mSv,n =10)] (t =18.52,P <0.01).In patients with 18.5 kg/m2 ≤ BMI < 25.0 kg/m2,ED of group A [(7.08 ± 0.91) mSy,n =66] was significantly higher than group B [(4.50 ± 1.41) mSv,n =73] (t' =10.57,P < 0.01).In patients with BMI ≥25.0 kg/m2,there was no significant difference between EDs of group A (7.54 ± 0.62 mSv,n =22) and group B [(8.19 ±3.16) mSv,n =17] (t' =0.89,P =0.39).Image quality of 5 patients in group A and none in group B did not meet the diagnostic requirement.Conclusion Setting mAs of enhanced scan according to plain scan noise could reduce the radiation dose with maintainence of image quality.

Objective To examine supine fulcrum pressurized radiograph to predict spinal flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods 1. Empirical study: put two points (A and B) on one side of the plastic stick and one point on the other side ( C), pressurize on the plastic stick when point C is in the middle of A and B, and then measure the projection shifting of point A. Repeat the pressure test when the distance between A and C doubled. Analyze the effect of increasing distance on diminishing pressure. 2.Clinical study :45 patients ( 16 males and 29 females) underwent standing anteroposterior radiograph ,fulcrum lateral flexion radiograph, supine lateral flexion radiograph. The Cobb's angles were measured and the flexibility ratio was determined on preoperative fulcrum radiograph. Results (1) If the length of A and C was 25 cm, pressurize on point C, when pressure quantitative scale number located 1 scale and 2 scale of the rule, projection shifting of point A were 5 cm and 10 cm. If the length of A and C was 50 cm, pressurize on point C, when pressure quantitative scale number located 1 scale and 2 scale of the rule, projection shifting of point A were 8 cm and 15 cm. The longer the distance, the lesser the pressure force of plastics stick. (2)The Cobb angles and curve flexibility provided by fulcrum lateral flexion radiograph had significant difference from that provided by supine lateral flexion radiograph in male group and female group. Cobb angles of male group was 28. 6°± 4. 1 °, 16. 7°± 4. 6° respectively (t= 7. 438, P < 0. 01 )and curve flexibility was 47. 6% ±8. 1% ,69. 4% ± 8. 5% respectively( t = 7. 438, P < 0. 01 ). Cobb angles of female group was 24.5°± 2. 7°,12. 6°±2. 4° respectively(t = 17. 540,P <0. 01 )and curve flexibility was 53.4% ±5.2% ,76. 0% ±4. 7% respectively(t = 17. 54, P < 0. 01 ). The flexibility of spinal main curve of female patients was obviously higher than male patients. Conclusions Supine fulcrum pressurized technique can make up for the insufficiency of supine lateral flexion technique, and provide a convenient, safe, precise and useful method for evaluation of spinal flexibility in AIS.

Objective To investigate the drug resistance characteristics and epidemic trend of Escherichia coli in Anning, Yunnan, and to provide a reference for clinical rational use of antibiotics. Methods A total of 376 strains of Escherichia coli were isolated from June 2018 to June 2019 from Kungang Hospital of Yunnan Province. The ESBLs producing strains were screened by double disk method and the sensitivity of ESBLs to antibiotics was detected by K-B method. The genotyping of ESBLs strains and the class I, II and III integrase genes in integron 3' and 5' conservative regions was conducted using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results The detection rate of ESBLs producing Escherichia coli was 53.19% (200/376). ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli had a low resistance rate to carbapenem antibacterial drugs with a relatively high sensitivity. The resistance rates to amikacin and piperacillin were 7.50% and 12.50% respectively, which had good antibacterial activity. The resistance rate to other antibiotics was high. There were 74.00% (148/ 200) of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli carrying CTX-M gene, 34.50% (69/200) carrying TEM genes, and 1.00% (2/200) of strains carrying SHV genes. In addition, there were 9.00% (18/200) of strains carrying both CTX-M and TEM genes, and 0.50% (1/200) of strains carrying both CTX-M and SHV genes. The detection rate of integrons accounted for 37.00% (74/200), all of which were class I integrons. Conclusion The prevalence of ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli was relatively high in Anning, Yunnan. ESBLs-producing Escherichia coli showed a trend of multi-drug resistance. The genotype was mainly CTX-M, and the integron was classified as class I.

Building a strong public health system has become an urgent task in the new era. Based on more than eight years of systematic research, we believe that five aspects need to be prioritized for a strong system. First, we should change the perspective on public health, using the word “gonggong jiankang” to replace “gonggong weisheng” and the word “gonggong jiankang tixi” to replace “gonggong weisheng tixi”, to lead the public health system development. Second, we should develop a suitable public health system and continuously improve the health capacity for governance. Third, we should make it clear that the goal of building a strong system is not far-fetched, and we need to consolidate the existing institutional advantages of China’s public health system: when encountering major problems, we can maintain a unified goal and mobilize the whole society to cooperate effectively to accomplish the goal. However, we need to make up for shortcomings one by one, especially to solve the key problem of lacking a strong coordination mechanism in daily work. Fourth, we should pursue excellence and consolidate the“suitable” mechanism proven in the process of coping with the COVID-19, so that efficient mechanisms to deal with major issues can be used in routine work, and efforts should be made to consolidate the advantages of prevention and control of infectious diseases and emergency response,so as to achieve the balanced development of regions categories and units.Finally, it is necessary to strengthen the coordination of government and research institutions, in the aspects of technological innovation, talent team building and accurate consulting services, and work together to pursue a suitable and strong system to realize the modernization of the health system and capacity for governance.
