In recent years, public hospitals have been facing pressure from the reform of medical insurance payment methods. It is urgent to strengthen the operation and management of public hospitals. In June 2022, a tertiary public hospital utilized hospital intelligent agents to carry out refined cost management practices for medical service charging projects, sorted out medical service charging projects, designed management paths, and calculated project costs. The hospital conducted refined management on the cost of medical service charging items from three control dimensions of project unit cost with manpower, equipment and consumables, and two comparative directions with horizontal and vertical. The refined cost management practice not only pointted out the direction for global refinement cost control within the hospital, but also reduced the proportion of hospital consumption, which provided reference for improving the level of refined operation and management of public hospital hospitals.

Objective:To analyze the cost of diagnosis-intervention packet(DIP) in a certain hospital in 2021 based on hospital intelligent agents, so as to provide feasible ideas for refined management of DIP costs.Methods:On the basis of the construction of the hospital intelligent agent platform and the results of project cost accounting in the early stage, a total of 60 187 cases and 4 860 DIP diseases in the hospital in 2021 were selected as the research objects. The project superposition method was applied to calculate the unit cost of all DIP diseases in the hospital. Based on the results of DIP cost accounting, the ideas and methods of fine management of DIP costs were explored from the perspectives of DIP disease classification, management of all hospital diseases and medical insurance diseases, vertical and horizontal comparative analysis of DIP costs, and management of medical insurance cases and non medical insurance cases under the same DIP disease category.Results:Twenty-two advantageous DIP disease types, 67 key disease types, 1 590 potential disease types, and 3 181 disadvantageous disease types were identified. Introducing medical income as an intermediate indicator facilitated the classification of DIP disease types under medical insurance, 1 072 advantageous disease types, 917 key disease types, 458 potential disease types, and 815 disadvantageous disease types in medical insurance were identified. Through refined accounting, it was found that the average cost of non medical insurance cases under the same DIP disease category was generally higher than that of medical insurance cases, and there were differences in DIP costs at different levels during different time periods.Conclusions:By determining and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of disease types in the entire hospital, common problems of disease types under the same category can be identified, and targeted control measures can be proposed. By analyzing the two dimensions of medical insurance surplus and medical surplus, the advantages and disadvantages of medical insurance diseases can be quickly determined, providing a lever for the control of medical insurance diseases. The horizontal and vertical comparative analysis of DIP costs, as well as the analysis of medical insurance cases and non medical insurance cases under the same DIP disease category, can provide feasible methods for hospitals to manage DIP costs at multiple levels and dimensions.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of regional leptomeningeal collateral (rLMC) score on CT angiography (CTA) for the outcome after endovascular therapy in patients with late window anterior circulation stroke.Methods:Patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke received endovascular treatment 6 to 24 h after onset in the Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2018 to July 2021 were enrolled retrospectively. At 3 months after onset, the outcome was evaluated according to the modified Rankin Scale. A score of ≤ 2 was defined as good outcome, and a score of >2 was defined as poor outcome. The clinical data, non-enhanced CT and CTA parameters of the patients were collected. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of poor outcomes after endovascular treatment. Results:A total of 74 patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke treated with endovascular treatment in the late window were enrolled. Their age was 64.41±12.98 years, 43 were males (58.1%). The baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 13.18±5.22, and the median time from onset to puncture was 527.5 min. Fifty-three patients (71.6%) chose direct thrombectomy and 21 (28.4%) chose intravenous thrombolysis and bridging thrombectomy. Thirty-six patients (48.6%) had a good outcome and 38 (51.4%) had a poor outcome, including 4 (5.4%) died. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, atrial fibrillation, fasting blood glucose, NIHSS score, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS), rLMC score and clot burden score between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher ASPECTS (odds ratio 0.352, 95% confidence interval 0.157-0.791; P=0.012) and rLMC score (odds ratio 0.550, 95% confidence interval 0.329-0.919; P=0.022) were the independent predictors of good outcomes after endovascular therapy. Conclusion:ASPECTS and rLMC scores were the independent predictors of clinical outcomes after endovascular therapy in patients with late window anterior circulation large vessel occlusive stroke. It had certain guiding value for the decision-making of endovascular treatment in such patients.

Objective:To investigate the expression of costimulatory molecule OX40 in peripheral CD4 +CD25 +CD127 low regulatory T (Treg) cells and its clinical significance in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods:Seventy-five patients with first-onset ACI, admitted to our hospital from April 2019 to December 2019, and 36 age- and gender-matched volunteers (control group) were selected in this study. OX40 expression on CD4 +CD25 +CD127 low Treg cells in peripheral blood samples in the two groups were analyzed by immunofluorescent labeling and flow cytometry. Correlations of OX40 +Treg cell percentage with National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) scores, ischemic penumbra volume, core infarct volume, and infarct volume in the patient group were analyzed. The changes of OX40 +Treg cell percentage in the patient group before and after endovascular treatment or intravenous thrombolysis were compared. Results:As compared with that in the control group, the Treg cell percentage in peripheral blood samples of the patient group was significantly decreased, while OX40 +Treg cell percentage was significantly increased ( P<0.05). OX40 +Treg cell percentage was positively correlated with NIHSS scores in ACI patients ( r s=0.271, P=0.018). Meanwhile, OX40 +Treg percentage was significantly correlated with ischemic penumbra volume, core infarct volume, and infarct volume in the patient group ( r s=0.435, P=0.000; r s=0.343, P=0.003; r s=0.245, P=0.034). OX40 +Treg cell percentage in ACI patients 7 d after endovascular treatment was significantly decreased as compared with that before treatment ( P<0.05); OX40 +Treg percentage in ACI patients 3 and 7 d after intravenous thrombolysis was significantly decreased as compared with that before treatment ( P<0.05). Conclusion:OX40 is abnormally expressed on peripheral Treg cells in ACI patients, and is closely correlated with neurological deficits, imaging features and reperfusion therapy.

Objective :
The CRISPR / Cas9 technology was applied to construct PDE4D homozygous knockout mice to provide a basis for in-depth investigation of PDE4D gene function and mechanism of action.
Methods:
A vector was constructed for PDE4D gene exon 4,5 microinjected into fertilized eggs of C57BL /6J mice,and PDE4D -/ - mice were obtained after maternal breeding and offspring mating,and the mice genotypes were determined by PCR product sequencing and genotype identification techniques.Changes in morphology and function of the major organs of the mice were detected using an ultrasound imaging system and H&E staining,and the expression of PDE4D protein in the mice was verified by Western blot assay.
Results :
The PDE4D -/ - mouse genotype was stably inherited, the mice were small,and there were no obvious morphological and histological changes in the major organs in vivo. The PDE4D expression was reduced or largely absent in the major tissues of PDE4D heterozygous or pure knockout mice,and the knockout effect was better.
Conclusion
PDE4D -/ - mice were successfully established using CRISPR / Cas9 technology,and no significant physiological abnormalities were found,which could be used for disease pathogenesis and drug research using PDE4D as the target.
