Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2010;26(9):709-712
Objective Analysis of the influence of enviromental factors on consumer satisfaction and behavior intentions. Methods The random sampling method is called into play for empirical investigation of some hospitals and medical organization in Guangzhou, in order to determine the environmental factors for hospitals by means of factor analysis and regression analysis. Results It is found that environmental factors affecting hospitals include the following: (1) internal environmental factors; (2) social factors; (3) hospital facilities and beds design factors; (4) hospital location and transportation factors; (5) aesthetic factors. Conclusion Hospitals should sophistically design and manage environment variables in view of potential customers, differentiating themselves from the rest for greater shares in the target market.

Objective To explore the way and technique to gain adequate seed cells for skin tissue engineering sufficiently. Methods Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene was introduced into rabbit keratinocytes by eukaryotic vector. The positive clones were selected and cultured in microcarrier-RCCS. The growth of immortalized keratinocytes was observed, and the metabolic rate and pan-cytokeratins (AE1/AE3) expression of immortalized keratinocytes in experimental groups were detected and compared with those in the control group. Results The immortalized keratinocytes in the experimental groups grew rapidly and had a high metabolic rate and shorter population doubling time (PD) (P

Objective To study the correlation between preoperative dye exclusion test and liver function in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma.Methods This was a cross sectional survey.A total of 192 cases of primary liver cancer patients were recruited from May 2014 to March 2015 at the Second Military Medical University Affiliated Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital.Hereinto, 160 cases were male and 32 females, the male to female ratio was 5: 1.The age of the patients ranged from 26 to 72 years old, and the average age was 50.5 years old.ICG 15 minutes retention rate of ICG clearance test was determined by PDD method in 192 cases of primary liver cancer patients.ICGR15 value was stratified into three stages: ICGR15 < 10% , ICGR1510%-20% , and ICGR15 > 20%.The ICGR15 stage of patients with different ChildPugh grades was analyzed.The biological liver function indexes of patients were simultaneous detected including TBIL, TBA, TP, ALB, PA, ALT, AST, PT-INR, HA, LN, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, APRI, PLT etc.The correlations of ICGR15 and biological indexes of liver function were analyzed using Spearman nonparametric correlation analysis.Results (1) ICGR15 was positively correlated with Child-Pugh grade (r =0.477, P < 0.01) in the 192 cases of HCC.The hierarchical analysis showed that there were significant differences between ICGR15 and different Child-Pugh grades (P < O.05).(2) Child-Pugh classification and ICGR15 comparison further showed that, ICGR15 increased with Child-Pugh grade.While ICG plasma clearance rate (ICGK) and effective hepatic blood flow (EHBF) reduced (P < 0.05).(3) The correlation analysis between ICGR15 and biological indexes of liver function showed that: ICGR15 was positively correlated with TBIL,TBA, ALT, AST, AFU, GGT, PT-INR, HA, LN, Ⅲ, Ⅳ and APRI index [(AST/ULN) × 100/ PLT (× 109/L)] (r =0.422, 0.389, 0.219, 0.301, 0.219, 0.244, 0.325, 0.652,0.403, 0.523, 0.519, 0.434, P < 0.05);and was negatively correlated with TP, ALB, PA, SOD, WBC, PLT (r =-0.290,-0.532, 0.546, 0.531, 0.256, 0.327, P< 0.05).Conclusions ICGR15 as a indicator for liver reserved and dynamic function can comprehensively reflect the liver reserve function is associated with the existing Child-Pugh grades and liver function biochemical indexes.Therefore, ICGR15 could be served as a sensitive index reflecting the preoperative liver reserve function.

Objective To explore the mechanism ofHuanshuai Oral Liquid in the process of hypoxia-microvascular waste-renal interstitial fibrosis in mice with atherosclerosis renal artery stenosis.Methods The atherosclerosis renal artery stenosis model was established on Apoe-/- mice by high fat feed and uninephrectomy. After 2 weeks of renal ablation, model mice were randomly divided into TCM group (Huanshuai Oral Liquid) and model group. C57BL/6J mice were taken as the blank group. The mice of TCM group receivedHuanshuai Oral Liquid 0.01 mL/(g?d) for gavage, while the blank group and the model group received normal saline 0.01 mL/(g?d) for gavage. Renal function, atherosclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis were assessed in the 12th week after taking medicine via immunohistochemical method to detect the expressions of the collagen typeⅣ, alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) andⅧ factor related antigen (vWF), and via RT-PCR to detect the expressions of HIF-1α and TGF-β.ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group suffered severe renal artery stenosis and renal fibrosis, and the expressions of HIF-1α, TGF-β, collagen typeⅣ andα-SMA significantly increased (P<0.05), while the expression of vWF decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expressions of HIF-1α, TGF-β, collagen typeⅣ andα-SMA group, the expressions of HIF-1α, TGF-β, collagen typeⅣ andα-SMA significantly decreased in the TCM group (P<0.05), while the expression of vWF significantly increased (P<0.05).ConclusionHuanshuai Oral Liquid could significantly improve the renal function and the renal tubular-interstitial fibrosis. The mechanism might be associated with regulating the expressions of HIF-1α and TGF-β.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of primary renal lymphomas ( PRL) , and to discuss the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the tumors. Methods Clinical data of 19 patients with PRL from January 2005 to October 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Result The 19 patients in this study, there were 11 males and 8 females and the age ranged from 37 to 85 years old (averaged 55). Patients were mainly presented with unilateral renal masses, with lumbodynia as the main symptom. 13 patients underwent nephrectomy, 6 patients underwent renal biopsy and 17 patients received CHOP or R-CHOP chemotherapy. All of them were diagnosed as non-Hodgkin’ s lymphoma, with 14 cases of diffuse large B cell lym-phoma (DLBCL) (73. 684%, 14/19), 4 cases of B cell small cell lymphoma (21. 053%, 4/19), and 1 cases of T cell lymphoma (5. 263%, 1/19). Follow-up information was available in 15 patients. 12 were still alive and survived for 1~78 months, while the other 3 were dead with 1 case who died of cerebral infarction, and survived for 3~38 months ( averaged 23 months) . Conclusion PRL is an extranodal lymphoma which is rare in kidney and is often misdiagnosed as renal carcinomas due to its nonspecific clinical manifestations. The diagnosis of PRL can be confirmed by histopathological examination, immunohistochemistry and molecular analy-sis. The majority of the lymphomas are B cell lymphomas and most of them are DLBCL. The recommended treatment is surgery com-bined with chemotherapy and the prognosis is associated with the age, clinicopathological characteristics, tumor types and treatment.
