Efficiency, one of the key principles of economic assessment in the health service sector, has three implications: technical efficiency, cost efficiency and allocation efficiency. The paper gives an account of the various interpretations of some relevant concepts and different assessment methods. The following methods are frequently used to measure technical efficiency: ratio analysis, CPD, comprehensive index, DEA, etc. Economic efficiency is measured by production function while CEA, CUA and CBA are used to assess cost result. The major indexes for assessing allocation efficiency include the proportion between medical and preventive services, the proportion between basic and non basic medical services and the flow direction of total health expenses.

Of these patients, 40 had normal hepatic arteries (60.61%), 26 had variations (39.39%), and 5 had infrequent aberrant hepatic arteries that was not included in Michels' classification (7.58%). Conclusion Three-dimensional model of hepatic arteries can volumetricly display the anatomical variations of hepatic arteries.

Objective:To explore the feasibility, safety and clinical efficacy of ileum augmentation cystoplasty assisted by Da Vinci robot for the treatment of neurogenic bladder.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 12 patients with neurogenic bladder admitted to Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital from March 2017 to November 2018, including 11 males and 1 female, with the mean age of 38(12-67). Preoperative symptoms were urinary incontinence, dysuria, decreased bladder capacity, or increased bladder pressure leading to ureteral reflux. All the 12 patients underwent preoperative intermittent catheterization, including 8 patients with spinal cord injury and 4 patients with spinal cord dysplasia. Preoperative serum creatinine(129.58±44.60)μmol/L and total glomerular filtration rate(61.63±18.04)ml/(min·m 2) were observed in 12 patients. Preoperative urodynamic examination showed the safe bladder volume of (95.67±39.10)ml, bladder internal pressure of(63.30±6.02)cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa)at the end of filling period, bladder compliance of(10.24±1.14)ml/cmH 2O, residual urine volume of(152.58±80.89)ml, and urine flow rate of(3.88±3.63)ml/s. Bladder contracture was evident on preoperative cystography. Ultrasound examination showed different degree of hydronephrosis and ureter expansion, in all cases, with ureteral reflux grading Ⅰin 2 cases, grade Ⅱ in 4 cases, grade Ⅲ in 4 cases, grade Ⅳ in 2 cases. All the 12 patients underwent robot-assisted ileum augmentation cystoplasty with 5-point puncture. Transverse incision of the bladder wall before full thickness, according to the amount of bladder and quality to decide 30 cm(normal), longitudinal cut back loops and one point after suture fixation in the bladder wall midpoint, fixed point as starting point, in turn, will be blind to the bladder stitching on both sides, the bilateral ureteral placing a single J tube respectively, evaluation of surgical success rate (including intraoperative bleeding, interception of bowel loops are no damage adjacent viscera, ureter openings with and without damage, impermeability, match insufflate whether unobstructed), postoperative complications, anastomotic fistula, intestinal obstruction, abdominal bleeding), urine dynamics test parameters, and patients’ quality of life. Patients were regularly given anticholinergic drugs(2 mg/d) for 6 months after surgery. Results:All the 12 cases in this group were successfully completed without any transfer to open surgery. The operation time was(120.8±12.0)min. Intraoperative blood loss(84.0±23.2)ml. Postoperative intestinal function recovery time(3.3±1.3) d. Postoperative hospital stay(12.1±3.1)d. Postoperative pelvic drainage tube indwelling time (3.8±1.2) d. Catheter and single J tube were removed 2 weeks after operation. Postoperative follow-up averaged 19.4(3-24) months. At 3, 12, 24 months after surgery, the bladder safety volume was rechecked(435.83±33.56), (450.90±31.09), (462.00±33.72)ml, the bladder internal pressure at the end of filling was(18.60±0.92), (15.70±1.42), (12.96±1.34)cmH 2O, the blood creatinine level was(81.43±21.10), (74.34±15.70), (72.90±15.90)μmol/L, and the bladder compliance was(37.94±4.22), (40.40±3.98), (43.42±4.20)ml/cmH 2O and the total glomerular filtration rate(91.52±9.49), (102.18±5.65), (112.41±6.50)ml/(min·m 2) were significantly improved compared with those before surgery( P<0.001). After 24 months of bladder urination training, 1 patient could basically urinate by herself. Three patients were treated with intermittent urinary catheterization supplemented by automatic urination. The remaining 8 patients were completely dependent on urinary catheter for intermittent catheterization. Postoperative complications such as anastomotic fistula, ileus and abdominal bleeding were not found in 12 patients. Conclusions:Ileum bladder enlargement assisted by robot can effectively expand bladder volume, reduce bladder internal pressure, improve bladder compliance, prevent ureteral reflux and protect renal function.

Objective To investigate the morphological characteristics of elbow dislocation associated with elbow fracture in children,to propose its injury mechanism,and to present its treatment and outcomes.Methods From January 2010 to September 2016 in Department of Pediatric Orthopedics,the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College,the clinical data of elbow dislocation associated with elbow fracture were retrospectively analyzed in 12 children,in which there were 9 boys and 3 girls with a mean age of 7.6 (3.6-12.O) years,and the injury time was 6 h-32 days,with an average of 3.5 days.According to the direction of dislocation,posterior dislocation in 6 cases,posterolateral dislocation in 4 cases,and anterior dislocation in 2 cases.Twelve cases were caused by high energy injury,accompanied with violent rotary injury of forearm,including traffic accident injury in 5 cases,high fall injury in 4 cases,motor belt injury in 2 cases,and washing machine injury in 1 case.All these cases were treated with surgery,the dislocated elbow joint were reset,the fracture fragments were fixed with Kirschner wire or wire tension band,and the lateral collateral ligament were repaired.Results All cases were followed up for 6-23 months,with an average 13.5 months.The stability of elbow joint and the fracture healing were very good,and no elbow redislocation at the last follow-up.The function of elbow joint recovered satisfactorily,the extension-flexion motion ranged from 90°-145°,with an average of 125°,and the pronation-supination motion ranged from 85°-155°,with an average of 130°.According to the Mayo functional index,the results were excellent in 7 cases and good in 4 cases,and the excellent and good ratio was 91.7％ (11/12 cases).Conclusions The elbow dislocation of children is caused by high energy injuries and the violent rotational injury of the forearm,easily combined with different types of elbow fractures and severe injury of collateral ligament.Surgical treatment should be actively performed to restore the normal anatomy,reconstruct the stability and restore the function of the elbow joint.

Objective To investigate the drug resistance and its changes of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) in children with bone and joint infection caused by hematogenous dissemination in Zunyi area.Methods A retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of 95 cases with bone and joint infections caused by SA from January 2008 to December 2016 in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College,in which there were 53 boys and 42 girls with a mean age of 5.6 years (ranging from 10 days to 14 years),including 39 cases of acute osteomyelitis,31 cases of acute suppurative arthritis,19 cases of chronic osteomyelitis,and 6 cases of acute osteomyelitis and arthritis.According to the results of drug sensitivity,the drug resistance of SA was analyzed,and the detection rates of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were compared in different genders and timeframes,and the drug resistance of SA to other antibiotics were also analyzed.Results The detection rate of MRSA was 50.53％ (48 cases) in 95 cases,the resistance rate to Penicillin was 92.63％ (88 cases),and to Lincomycin,Erythromycin,Tetracycline and Cefoxitin were 64.21％ (61 cases),57.90％ (55 cases),55.79％ (53 cases) and 53.68％ (51 cases) respectively,but to Sulfamethoxazole Co.,Gentamicin and Rifampicin it was relatively low[25.26％ (24 cases),11.58％ (11 cases),6.32％ (6 cases) respectively],while the resistance to Moxifloxacin,Linezolid,Tigecycline,Vancomycin and Nitrofurantoin was not found.The detection rate of MRSA in boys (52.83 ％,28/53 cases) was slightly higher than that of girls (47.62％,20/42 cases),but the difference was not statistically significant (x2 =0.255,P ＞0.05).The detection rates of MRSA in 2008-2010,2011-2013 and 2014-2016 were 27.78％ (5/18 cases),51.61％ (16/31 cases) and 58.70％ (27/46 cases) respectively,and it was obviously higher in 2014-2016 than in 2008-2010,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.95,P ＜ 0.05).The drug resistance rate of SA to Lincomycin,Erythromycin and Cefoxitinis was obviously higher in 2014-2016 than in 2008-2010,and the differences were all statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The drug resistance of SA is high with the bone and joint infection caused by hematogenous dissemination in children,and the detection rate of MRSA and the drug resistance of SA to a variety of antimicrobial agents are gradually increasing.

Objective To investigate the impact on image quality of bone imaging and patients safety when whole body bone imaging was performed on the sme day of renal dynamic imaging.Methods Fifty-three adult patients underwent renal dynamic imaging and whole body bone imaging were selected as observation group.Firstly,99 Tcm-DTPA renal dynamic imaging was performed,and 2 h later,99Tcm-MDP was injected,then whole body bone imaging was performed according to technological process.The other 53 patients received bone imaging only were selected as control group.After injection of 99Tcm-MDP immediately and 30 min,1 h,2 h,4 h,6 h,and 24 h later,physiological response of all patients was observed,and image quality of bone imaging between the two groups was compared.Then the ratio of subjective excellent images of the two groups was calculated.Radioactivity counting of T12,L4,iliac crest,middle humerus,middle femur and soft tissue above 2 cm of ilium on posterior image was measured,and target/non target (T/NT) was calculated.Statistical analysis was performed on the two groups.Results Adverse reaction was not found in all patients in two groups.Subjective excellent rate was 90.57％ (48/53) in observation group,and 92.45％ (49/53) in control group (x2 =0.12,P＞0.05).T/NT of T12,L4,middle humerus and middle femur had no significant differences between two groups (all P＞0.05).The difference of T/NT of iliac crest was statistically significant between two groups (t=3.45,P＜0.05).Conclusion Radionuclide renal dynamic imaging on the same day has no significant impact on the image quality of whole body bone imaging.

Objective To compare and study the effect of two practice models on clinical practice teaching in pediatric orthopedic surgery.Methods A total of 60 5-year undergraduate interns were selected and assigned randomly separately into control group (n=30) and experimental group (disease-based internship group,n=30).The control group took bed-based internship model,that is,interns managed patients with fixed beds.The experimental group took disease-based internship model,that is,interns managed the same disease patients and rotated regularly.Both groups used the same teaching method,namely the PBL+ LBL teaching.At the end of the internship,SPSS 18.0 was used to analyze the data,the independent sample t test and Chi-square test were used to compare the results of the two groups.Results In the dimensions of theoretical knowledge,medical records written and consolidated results,the score of the experimental group were higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).The score of practical skill in two groups had no statistically significant difference (P＞0.05).The satisfaction survey showed that the experimental group had higher satisfaction than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion The disease-based internship model is better than the bedbased internship model in clinical practice teaching in pediatric orthopedic surgery,and can improve the quality of clinical teaching practice.

Objective: To determine the hemoglobin level and blood pressure and the factors that influence their recovery in relocated workers who were unfit for duties at high altitude. Methods: The physical examination data of 693 relocated workers who previously worked at high altitude were dynamically monitored from January 2006 to June 2015 in order to examine the recovery of hemoglobin level and blood pressure. Results: The rate of hemoglobin recovery was 81.37% among the 161 relocated workers with abnormal hemoglobin levels, and the rate of blood pressure recovery was 69.51% among the 164 relocated workers with abnormal blood pressure. The rates of hemoglobin and blood pressure recovery were decreased in individuals aged 40 years and older. The peak recovery time of hemoglobin was 11-15 months following relocation, and that of blood pressure was 5-7 months and 11-13 months following relocation. The half-year blood pressure recovery rate and 2-year hemoglobin recovery rate following relocation were significantly higher in workers who worked at 2500-3000 m altitude than in those at ≥3000 m (P<0.05) . Total cholesterol and educational level were factors that influence the half-year blood pressure recovery in relocated workers (P<0.05) . Conclusion The rate of hemoglobin and blood pressure recovery are high among relocated workers who previously worked at high altitude. Factors that influence blood pressure, such as total cholesterol, should be closely monitored so that high-altitude workers with abnormal blood pressure and hemoglobin level can be relocated as early as possible.
