Objective:To establish a calculation model for the operational efficiency and resource allocation of clinical departments in hospitals, for references for hospitals to optimize resource allocation.Methods:The informations including hospitalization time, nursing grade, etc. of inpatients admitted by 32 clinical departments in a tertiary public hospital from January to December in 2021 were extracted. A data envelopment analysis method was conducted on the operation efficiency and input edundancy of the departments. The K-means algorithm was used to divide inpatients into 3 categories according to the level of medical workload. Taking the numbers of doctors, nurses and beds as the input indicators, and the numbers of patients in the 3 categories as the output indicators, a BCC model 1 was established to evaluate the efficiency of resources invested by clinical departments into professional human value. At the same time, a BCC model 2 was established with the total number of patients admitted and medical income as the output indicators to evaluate the efficiency of resources invested by clinical departments into economic benefits.Results:A total of 38 147 inpatients were enrolled. There were 14 departments with overall technical efficiency (OTE) =1.000 in the BCC model 1, 10 departments with OTE=1.000 in the BCC model 2, and 8 departments with OTE=1.000 in the 2 models. As for the input redundancy, 6 departments had high input redundancy in the BCC model 1, 11 departments had high input redundancy in the BCC model 2, and 4 departments had high input redundancy in both models.Conclusions:The model established by this study could effectively evaluate the operational efficiency and input redundancy of clinical departments, identify departments with high workload and low economic benefits, and provide reference for the rational allocation of medical resources in hospitals.

Objective:To investigate the genetic safety of allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation in traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods:(1) In vivo experiment: BMSCs from male SD rats were isolated and cultured. Moderate TBI models were prepared by implanting and fixing micro-drug injection cannula into the left ventricle of 12 female SD rats, and 3 d after that, striking the right cerebral cortex of the rats with pneumatic precision percussion device was performed. Four h, and 3, 6, 9, and 12 d after modeling, TBI rats were given a single/multiple BMSCs infusion (2.5×10 5/time, total volume 10 μL) by cannula; 48 and 72 h, and 10 and 14 d after modeling, brain tissues of TBI rats (3 at each time point) were prepared into paraffin specimens. Immunofluorescent staining was used to detect the microglia activation, and RNAscope ? technology was used to detect the co-localization of astrocytes, neurons, microglia and transplanted BMSCs to observe whether the allogeneic BMSCs were integrated with the host brain cells after transplantation into TBI host. (2) In vitro experiment: the frozen and revived microglial cell line BV2 was transfected with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-positive lentiviral particles, and then, BMSCs prelabeled with pHrodo RED probe and BV2 cells pretreated with lipopolysaccharide were co-cultured in a certain ratio (BV2:BMSCs=1:1, 1:2, 2:1); after 36 and 72 h of co-culture, the phagocytosis between the 2 kinds of cells was observed under confocal fluorescence inverted microscope to observe the specific action forms of microglia on BMSCs. Results:(1) In vivo experiment: 48 and 72 h, and 10 and 14 d after modeling, no colocalization of transplanted BMSCs with astrocytes or neurons was found in paraffin sections of brain tissue in TBI rats; however, 10 and 14 d after modeling, microglia in TBI rats were obviously activated and migrated to the left lateral ventricle and choroid plexus, and co-localization of microglia with transplanted BMSCs was observed. (2) In vitro experiment: phagocytosis occurred after co-culture of BV2 cells at different proportions with BMSCs for 36 and 72 h. Conclusion:After transplantation, allogeneic BMSCs do not integrate with astrocytes or neurons of the TBI host, but they could be phagocytosed by microglia, indicating that allogeneic BMSCs transplantation for TBI is genetically safe.

Objective:
To understand the serotypes, genotypes and transmission source of dengue viruses(DENV) isolated in Yunnan from 2013 to 2015.
Methods:
Viral RNA was extracted from serum samples of dengue fever(DF) cases at the acute stage in Yunnan, then the gene fragments of envelope protein(E) region were amplified by RT-PCR. The homology and phylogenetic analysis was made on the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences by bioinformatics softwares including Clustal X, DNAStar and MEGA5.
Results:
Viral nucleic acid detection and sequencing indicated that 40 E genes of DENV were obtained. The serotypes and genotypes of DENV were revealed by homology and phylogenetic analysis based on E genes of DENV. Fifteen virus strains belonged to DENV serotype 1(DENV-1), of these, 14(11 from Ruili, 1 from Lincang and 2 from Kunming) were genotype I(G-I), 1 from Kunming was G-V. Twenty-two virus strains belonged to DENV serotype 2(DENV-2), of these, 10 from Ruili were G-I and 12 from Xishuangbanna were G-IV. Two virus strains belonged to DENV serotype 3(DENV-3) and G-II. One virus strain belonged to DENV serotype 4(DENV-4) and G-I. All detected DENV genotypes were mainly predominant in Southeast Asia. All the 40 Yunnan DENV strains shared high homology with the DENV strains in Southeast Asia countries.
Conclusions
Four serotypes and multiple genotypes of DENV had been co-circulating in Yunnan from 2013 to 2015. The DENV transmitted from Southeast Asia countries was the main cause of DF in Yunnan. It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance and management on the imported cases of DF in Yunnan.
