Through the study of the pathology of sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, evaluation indexes, diagnosis requirements and so on, a portable sleep monitoring system was designed, which had the characteristics of convenience, wireless transmission and no disturbance. The system can be assessed by respiration monitoring and pulse oximetry, which is based on the pressure variation in miniature air-bag and spectral absorption method. It provides the value of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), which is used to evaluate OSAHS severity. The experiment of the system's stability and accuracy is done, which exhibits good performance, it can diagnose OSAHS effectively and provide convenience for home monitoring.

Objective To observe the clinical effectiveness and adverse side effects of percutaneous embedding of ~(125)I particles in combination with chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Twenty-one patients with advanced NSCLC(IIIa-IIIb phase) received percutaneous embedding of ~(125)I particles in combination with concurrent chemotherapy.The chemotherapy was conducted in accordance with TP regime(paclitaxel at 135 mg/m~2 and cisplatin at 30 mg/m~2 were administered on day 1 and on day 2 to 4,respectively with 28 days as a cycle).12～75 ~(125)I particles were embedded with CT-guided percutaneous puncture one week after chemotherapy.The radioactivity quantum was 22～33 MBq per particle.The overall radioactivity quantum of embedded particles was 264-1650 MBq with one or more puncture points.Chemotherapy was then continued for two cycles.Results All the 21 patients completed the therapy,among whom,23.80% got complete response(CR),66.67% got partial response(PR) and 9.53% had stable or progressive disease(NC+PD) with an overall response(CR+PR) of 90.48%.The complications included hemopneumothorax(33.34%),hemorrhage(4.77%),particle migration(4.77%).The incidence rates of radiation esophagitis and radiation pneumonia with grade 1～2 were 4.77%(1/21) and 4.77%(1/21) respectively.No radiation esophagitis or radiation pneumonia with grade 3～4 was found.The incidence rate of grade 3～4 acute myelosuppression comprises 52.38% leucocytopenia,9.53% thrombocytopenia,28.58% decrease of hemoglobin,grade III-IV nausea and 42.86%vomiting,38.10% grade III-IV alopecia.The 1-year survival rate was 80.96%.The 12-month local control rate was 85.72%. Conclusion The results have shown that CT-guided percutaneous embedding of ~(125)I particles in combination with chemotherapy was effective and well-tolerable with few complications and good compliance.

ObjectivesTo investigate the effect of pediatric trauma life support (PTLS) curriculum on the improvement of rescue skill for pediatric trauma patients.MethodsPTLS course was introduced to train medical staff engaging in pediatric critical trauma care. The course included theoretical and practical part with main focus on enhancement of students’ decision on scene and rescue skill.ResultsCompared with pre-training, the students’ post-training written test scores improved signiifcant-ly, and the rates of qualiifcation and excellence were improved signiifcantly (P<0.01). All students were qualiifed for the tests of skill stations and simulation scenario. The excellence rates of the tests were as follows: ifxation and transportation 42.62%, basic and advanced airway management 81.97%, shock evaluation and management 70.49%, simulation scenario 72.13%. Both pre-training and post-training written test scores in hospital group were significantly higher than those in pre-hospital group (P<0.01).ConclusionsAfter PTLS courses, the knowledge, practice and integrated life-saving skills of students are greatly im-proved and teamwork is strengthened.

Objective:To analyze the hot spots and frontiers of medical quality and safety management since the new medical reform, and to provide reference for the continuous improvement of medical quality and safety management.Methods:Chinese literatures related to medical quality and medical safety management in CNKI database from April 2009 to December 2022 were retrieved, and the included literatures were processed and analyzed by CiteSpace software and Excel software.Results:1 921 literatures related to medical quality management and 2 497 literatures related to medical safety management were included. The publication trend showed a " double peak", showing a downward trend. The research hotspots in literature related to medical quality and safety management in China since the new medical reform have focused on practice exploration and influencing factors. The trend of future research is to closely follow the background of the times in medical quality and safety management research and intelligent medical quality and safety management evaluation system research.Conclusions:In the future, research on medical quality and safety management should be more in line with the changes of medical reform policies, focus on high-quality development to deepen the research on micro issues, promote information construction to continuously improve the indicator evaluation system, so as to promote the sustainable and high-quality development of medical quality and safety management in China.

Objective:To construct future-oriented theoretical management model for medical quality and patient safety.Methods:Procedure grounded theory was applied to code data including 30 expert interview records from July 2021 to June 2022 and the qualitative analysis results of 71 core literatures in Chinese and English, and then the theoretical model was constructed.Results:After three-level coding, 555 reference points, 249 initial concepts, 41 categories, 27 main categories and 7 core categories related to medical quality and safety management were sorted out, and the theoretical model of SQ (I-SPORT) matrix for medical quality and safety management was constructed. This model extended the traditional dimension in quality and safety management.Conclusions:Regarding medical quality and safety management, on one hand, should focus on the systematic improvement of structure, process, results, reengineering, education and training in terms of management functions; on the other hand, it is necessary to improve the organization, employees, resources, technology and tools, and patient experience in terms of management elements.

Objective:To establish the normal reference value of lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) under quantitative CT (QCT) in Chinese healthy adult females and to explore the regional differences.Methods:Total of 35 431 healthy women who met the inclusion criteria of Chinese health quantitative CT big data program were selected in this study. The BMD of the central plane of L 1 and L 2 vertebrae was measured by Mindways′s QCT system, and the mean value was taken. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the BMD differences of lumbar vertebrae in women of different ages and regions. The subjects were grouped by an age interval of 10 years, and the level of BMD in different regions of the same age group were compaired. Results:The peak BMD of Chinese healthy adult women appeared in the age group of 20-29 years (Northeast China(183.01±24.58) mg/cm 3, North China (188.93±24.80) mg/cm 3, East China (187.54±27.71) mg/cm 3, South China (186.22±33.72) mg/cm 3, Central China (176.33±24.91) mg/cm 3, Southwest China(182.25±28.00) mg/cm 3), and then it decreased with age. The level of BMD in different regions decreased with the age. Before the age of 70 years, BMD in Central and Southwest China was always at a low level((176.23±24.91) to (90.38±28.12) mg/cm 3, 182.25±28.00 to (88.55±25.68) mg/cm 3), lower than those in Northeast China ((183.01±24.58) to (99.69±27.85) mg/cm 3), North China ((188.93±24.80) to (95.89±26.12) mg/cm 3), East China ((187.54±27.71) to (95.65±27.86) mg/cm 3). After 70 years of age, BMD tended to be the same in different regions ( P>0.05). The BMD values in Central China and Southwest China were similar in the age group of 40-60 years ( P>0.05). The BMD values in the health adult femles in the age group of 60 years in different regions of Chinawere all lower than those of bone mass abnormality (all P<0.05). The detection rate of osteoporosis in females over 50 years was the highest in Southwest China (25.65%) and it was the lowest in North China (17.30%). Conclusions:This study establishes reference values of BMD under QCT in healthy Chinese women, which can be used as a reference basis for identifying women with low BMD who are at risk of osteoporosis. The BMD value is the lowest in Southwest China and the highest in South China.
