AVNRT, (3)There was no evidence of new arrhythmia occurring for the late electrophysiologic sequelae of RFCA lesions. Conclusion The technique of RFCA is safe, it causes significant minor myocardial injury and takes 3 months to develop from initially resembling coagulation necrosis to fibrosis. There is no evidence of new arrhythmia occurring for late electrophysiologic sequelae of RFC lesions.

Objective To compare the impacts of right ventricular outflow tract pacing and right ventricular apical pacing on short-term cardiac function, QRS duration and pacing parameters in children undergoing VVI pacemaker therapy. Methods The clinical data of 38 children undergoing VVI pacemaker treatment in our department from July 2006 to November 2013 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed to make grouping: 22 with right ventricular outflow tract pacing based on the operational records were assigned in one group and 16 with right ventricular apical pacing as the other group. The two groups were compared in terms of cardiac function indexes , QRS complex width and intra- and post- operative parameters of the implanted pacemakers. Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in pre-and post-operative cardiac function indexes , intra- and post-operative difference in pacing thresholds, pacing wire impedance and R-wave amplitude. The pre-and post-operative QRS duration [(134.95 ± 12.86)ms vs.(147.44 ± 22.35)ms, t=1.35, P=0.01] was statistically significant between the groups. Conclusion The right ventricular outflow tract pacing for children patients is safe and feasible. Although the two pacing approaches achieved lengthened duration of QRS, the right ventricular outflow tract pacing is more effective in lengthening the duration of QRS.

Objective: To analyze and summarize the diagnosis and treatment experience of common inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndrome in pediatric patients, and explore the most appropriate therapy. Methods: A retrospective review identified 30 pediatric cases (19 males, 11 females) diagnosed with long QT syndrome (LQTS), Brugada syndrome (BrS), catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), arrhythmogenc right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) from January 2008 to December 2018 in the Pediatric Cardiology Department, Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital. Data obtained included the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up outcome. Results: The most common inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndromes were LQTS (n=14) including 1 case with epilepsy, CPVT (n=5), HCM (n=7), ARVC (n=1), and BrS (n=3). Twenty-seven cases were admitted to hospital due to syncope, whereas the remaining 3 cases of BrS had not presented with syncope before admission. The average onset age of inherited arrhythmia was (10.0±3.3) years. Genetic testing was performed on 20 patients. The median follow-up time was 40 months. Among 15 patients who underwent implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and survived, 2 patients had frequent ICD discharge. One patient underwent radiofrequency ablation, and the other one received left cardiac sympathetic denervation and an increased ICD defibrillation threshold, and the number of ICD discharge was significantly reduced. Among 10 patients who received drug therapy, 4 patients including two patients who discontinued treatment without advices died. Two patients whose parents refused treatment died, 1 case diagnosed with unexplained sudden cerebral death, and the remaining 2 cases without indication for drug therapy survived without any treatment. Conclusions Mortality rate is high in pediatric patients with inherited cardiac arrhythmia and syncope. The therapeutic effect of drugs are not satisfactory, ICD implantation is the most effective treatment to prevent sudden cardiac death currently, but the postoperative frequent discharge should be brought to the forefront and handled in time.

With the deepening of the comprehensive reform process of public hospitals and the further refinement of high-quality development requirements, the reform of compensation system of public hospitals has also begun. Taking a hospital as an example, the authors deeply analyzed the four-dimensional performance appraisal scheme of medical technology departments based on resource-based relative value scale concept, with workload assessment as the foundation, multi-dimensional cost assessment as the emphasis, work efficiency as the spur and work quality as the foundation, and introduced the process of implementing the distribution scheme guided by knowledge value to the secondary distribution of departments. The performance appraisal scheme could scientifically reflect the work value of medical staff in medical and technical departments, strengthen the department′s awareness of cost control, improve the efficiency and quality of the department′s work, significantly motivate the medical and technical staff, and deepen the modern management of hospitals.

Objective To analyze the problems existing in the homogenization management of multi-branch hospitals based on the annual performance assessment data,and provide reference for promoting the high-quality development of public hospital branch districts.Methods Based on the Performance Assessment Operation Manual of National Tertiary Public Hospitals(2022 edition),10 indicators including the proportion of discharged patients undergoing surgery and the proportion of fourth-level surgery were screened,and the functional positioning,quality and safety,revenue and expenditure structure,and cost control of 4 hospitals of a certain medical institution from 2022 to 2023 were descriptively analyzed.Results The CMI value and the proportion of discharged surgery in the main hospital were significantly better than those in the branch hospitals,and there was no significant difference in the medical quality indicators of the four hospitals,and the operation efficiency of the branch hospital with outstanding specialty characteristics was better than that of other hospitals.Conclusion Public hospitals pay more attention to the"big specialty,small comprehensive"mode in the layout of branch districts,pay more attention to the quality control management at the specialty level in medical quality management,and strengthen the benefit analysis of different hospitals in the same specialty in operation management.
