In light of the medical safety control standards for general hospital appraisal in Zhejiang and the principles followed in designing the standards, the authors put forward some suggestions for medical institutions to improve their medical safety control. ①Medical safety occupies a key position in hospital appraisal standards. Some points are presented for discussion with regard to the criteria for malpractice-caused deduction of marks. ②The focal point of medical safety control lies in prevention. Medical institutions and their staff ought to have a correct understanding of malpractice and try to remove hidden dangers. The directive function of plans for preventing and handling malpractice ought to be brought into full play. In addition, nationally uniform and comprehensive criteria and routines for diagnostic, treatment and nursing procedures ought to be set up speedily. ③ It is imperative to make use of advanced means so as to ensure the smooth, timely and efficient reporting and feedback of medical safety information. ④The idea of service ought to be reinforced and a risk assessment mechanism ought to be set up.

Objective To study the different types of medication guidance for community doctors in the context of essential medicine system,and analyze its influencing factors.Methods SPSS 1 9.0 was called into play for statistical analysis of data gathered,and the medication guidance behavior of the doctors were graded on the two dimensions of personal willingness and practical action.With important quadrant method,the medication guidance behavior of such doctors was classified,while the multiple linear regression was used to study the influencing factors.Results Most of the community doctors of the fourteen counties fall into the area of “high willingness and less action”,with only a few falling into the area of the “high willingness and more action”. Major influencing factors of their willingness on medication guide were found to include impacts on job autonomy,attention to essential medicine system, and the forms to improve income.Major factors of the doctors'actions on medication guide include awareness of essential medicines,awareness of essential medicines catalog,and training outcomes. Conclusion The community doctors have high personal willingness for medication guidance related to essential medicines,but only a number of them carried it in their work.Therefore,it is necessary to take actions to strengthen awareness of the doctors for medication guidance and encourage them to carry it out.

Objective:To explore the relationship between new biomarkers in donor blood and delayed graft function after kidney transplantation and evaluate the clinical value of new biomarkers in the diagnosis of DGF (delayed graft function).Methods:For recipients of donor kidney transplantation from August 2016 to December 2017, blood samples were collected from operations of donor organ resection within 12 hours of the day. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed for detecting neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), L-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and interleukin-18(IL-18). They were divided into DGF and EGF (early graft function) groups according to the diagnosis of DGF. The inter-group differences of four new biomarkers were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was plotted for finding the best positive cutoff value and the sensitivity and specificity of new donor blood marker for diagnosing delayed graft function were calculated.Results:Among them, 8 had postoperative DGF and 62 had none. The overall incidence of DGF was 11.43%. The serum concentration of NGAL was 521.01±132.84 ng/ml in DGF group versus (299.99±100.03) ng/ml in EGF group ( P<0.001). The ROC curve was plotted. With a NGAL concentration >425.15 ng/ml, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing DGF were 87.5% and 90.3% respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.891. The serum concentration of IL-18 was (14.10±12.36) ng/ml in DGF group and (4.61±1.83) ng/ml in EGF group ( P=0.047). With a IL-18 concentration of >5.345 ng/ml, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing DGF were 100% and 64.5% respectively. The AUC was 0.914. No significant inter-group difference existed in serum L-FABP/KIM-1. The sensitivity of donor creatinine in the diagnosis of DGF was 62.5%, specificity 75.8% and AUC 0.692. Conclusions:With an excellent level of sensitivity and specificity, an elevated concentration of NGAL/IL-18 in donor blood is superior to traditional creatinine in the diagnosis of DGF after renal transplantation.

A 11-year old female patient with severe thalassemia, receipt a lentivirus-based cell and gene therapy (CGT) therapy in Shenzhen Children′s Hosptial on July 27th, 2021. At the two follow-up visits after discharge, patient were continuously tested positive for HIV screening through HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay (chemiluminescence Immunoassay), and the viral load results of HIV-1 nucleic acid testing (NAT) were both>5 000 copies/ml. The patient can be diagnosed with HIV infection according to the National Guideline for Detection of HIV/AIDS(2020 Revised Edition). The thorough investigation findings and supplementary experiment results indicated that the false-positive HIV-1 NAT results was caused by cross-reactivity between the target sites detected by conventional HIV-1 NAT reagents and the lentiviral vectors fragments integrated into the genome of patient′s hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. In conclusion, it is important for laboratories to select appropriate HIV-1 NAT testing platforms which won′t cause cross-reactivity for the testing of samples from patients who have been treated with HIV-derived vectors. It is also recommended to design and develop NAT testing platforms with multiple target regions labeled by different fluorescents for HIV NAT supplementation experiment to reduce the risk of false-positive diagnoses of HIV infection.
