OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of drug-contained sera (DCS) of Naoluo Xintong (NLXT) and Zuogui Pill (ZGP) on the proliferation and differentiation of in vitro cultured embryonic neural stem cells (NSCs) in rats.

METHODSRat's embryonic NSCs were cultured in medium supplemented with 10% DCS with NLXT and ZGP separately, the effects of DCS in enhancing proliferation and inducing differentiation were observed and compared by phase contrast microscopy and immunofluorescence staining.

RESULTSMajority of NSCs were induced to neurons, astrocytes or oligodendrocytes in medium supplemented with either DCS-NLXT or DCS-ZGP, with the growth of them promoted to some extent. However, DCS-NLXT induced the differentiation rather slowly but with the differentiated neurons more resemble to the mature neuron in morphology, while DCS-ZGP promoted the stem cell growth more effectively.

CONCLUSIONBoth NLXT and ZGP could promote the differentiation and growth of in vitro cultured NSCs, but with exiguous difference. It is feasible to induce the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs by way of using Chinese medicine drug-therapy for supplementing qi and activating blood circulation as well as that for tonifying Shen to generate marrow.

Objective To develop a medical equipment purchase and audit supervision system to promote medical equipment purchase.Methods The system was developed with C/S architecture,Windows XP system and above as the development platform,SQL Server 2005 as the database management system and PowerBuilder 9 as the development tool.There were 5 modules composing the system,including the ones for plan application and management,expert database management,veudor database management,purchase approval as well as audit and supervision.Results The system realized whole-course management of medical equipment purchase and carried out audit supervision based on data analysis,which simplified working flow,increased working efficiency and decreased purchase risks.Conclusion The system promotes the communication between the departments,and contributes to enhancing medical equipment purchase,audit supervision and risk prevention.

Objective:To study the changes of patient-related costs and the use of stents and other consumables before and after the centralized procurement of coronary stents.Methods:The inpatient medical insurance settlement case data of 1,973 patients with coronary stent implantation admitted to Daping Hospital of Army Medical University from December 2019 to October 2021 were selected.Among them,the data of 1,317 cases of percutaneous cardiovascular surgery and coronary stent implantation with serious or complications and accompanying disease group were slected according to disease diagnosis related groups(DRG),which were divided into the pre-centralized procurement group(667 cases)and the post-centralized procurement group(650 cases)according to the centralized procurement of coronary stents before and after.The costs of patients'medical consumables with the consumption of patients'medical consumables and the impact of the use of consumables such as coronary stents on the costs of medical consumables were compared.Results:There was no significant statistical difference in the hospitalization days and the average number of stents used in patients undergoing percutaneous cardiovascular procedures and coronary stent implantation with centralized procurement of coronary stents.There was a statistically significant difference in the total diagnosis and treatment cost,medical consumables cost,medicines and consumables cost and medicines cost between the pre-centralized procurement group and the post-centralized procurement group(Z=-22.316,-23.546,-22.917,-5.724,P<0.05).The cost of stents[16 260(13 300,32 272)yuan],the number of catheter guidewire balloon sheaths consumables[5(4,8)sets(pieces)],and the cost of catheter guidewire balloon sheaths consumables[8 719(5 805,15 372)yuan]in the pre-collection group were collected.There were statistically significant differences in the stent cost[1 059(590,1 770)yuan],the number of catheter guidewire balloon sheaths consumables[8(7,12)sets(pieces)],and the cost of catheter guidewire balloon sheaths consumables[5 708(3 392,12 871)yuan]between the two groups(Z=-30.452,16.582,-7.670,P<0.05).There was a statistical correlation between the cost of coronary stents and the cost of catheter guidewire balloon sheaths before and after centralized volume procurement on the cost of medical consumables for patients(r=0.903,0.473,0.785,0.953,P<0.05).The correlation coefficient between the cost of coronary stents and the cost of medical consumables for patients in the post-centralized procurement group decreased compared to the pre-centralized procurement group,the correlation coefficient between the cost of catheter guidewire balloon sheath and the cost of medical consumables for patients increased.Conclusion:The centralized procurement of coronary stents has a significant cost control effect on patients in the disease groups,and affects the cost structure of medical consumables.Combined with DRG reform,it can continuously improve the standardization and scientificity of clinical use of medical consumables.

Objective:To study the technological roadmap of integrated development of digestive tract endoscopy and artificial intelligence precision medicine,and to provide research directions and feasible technological paths for the"overtaking on a curve"of domestic gastrointestinal endoscopy.Methods:The Delphi method was used to investigate the needs and research directions for the refinement of gastrointestinal endoscopy from the perspective of medical professionals.An analysis of development directions of artificial intelligence precision medical technology based on technical documents on artificial intelligence precision medical technology was conducted.The application scenarios and technology roadmap of early gastric cancer and inflammatory bowel disease patients were designed from four main service directions of precise diagnosis,precise treatment,precise medication,and precise health management of artificial intelligence precision medicine.Results:Two refined application scenarios were designed for precise diagnosis of early gastric cancer and precise health management of inflammatory bowel disease patients,the layout direction and feasible path were planned for the development of the new gastrointestinal endoscopy industry,and a technology roadmap for the development of intelligent gastrointestinal endoscopy industrywas formed.Conclusion:The technology roadmap for the integrated development of gastrointestinal endoscopy with artificial intelligence precision medicine provides a sustainable development path for addressing the patent blockade of foreign gastrointestinal endoscopy companies on domestic products,uneven distribution of medical resources in the field of gastroenterology,and early diagnosis and treatment of digestive system diseases.

Objective:To investigate the consistency of swept-source optical coherence tomography(SS-OCT)and time-domain optical coherence tomography(TD-OCT)in measuring the parameters of anterior chamber angle.Methods:A total of 46 myopic patients(92 eyes)were retrospectively selected from Department of Ophthalmology of Army Specialty Medical Center from January 2023 to May 2023.Both SS-OCT and TD-OCT were used to measure respectively the parameters of anterior chamber angle of patients.And then,the differences of central anterior chamber depth(ACD),angle opening distance(AOD500,AOD750),scleral spur angle(SSA),trabecular iris area(TISA500,TISA750)between SS-OCT and TD-OCT were compared and analyzed.The Pearson correlation analysis and Bland-Altman test were adopted to analyze and measure the correlation and consistency of the measures.Results:There was significant difference in ACD between the two kinds of scan methods(t=-6.83,P<0.001).Additionally,the differences of the AOD500,AOD750,SSA500,TISA500 and TISA750 of measured data beside of nose were significant(t=-5.16,5.51,-6.51,-4.75,-5.69,P<0.001),respectively.Similarly,the differences of them beside of temple were significant(t=-5.04,-4.8,-6.06,-3.84,-4.02,P<0.001),respectively.There was positive correlation between the two kinds of scan methods(r=0.71-0.92).The Bland-Altman analysis showed that 2.1% to 8.9% of the measured values were outside the consistency limit by 95%.Conclusion:There are differences between SS-OCT and TD-OCT in the measures of the parameters of anterior chamber angle of myopic patients,and the measured results of them appear positive correlation.
