To analyze influenza pathogen spectrum in Yunnan province during 2009-2014 years, and analyze HA and NA genes of influenza A H1N1. Analysis was made on the monitoring date of influenza cases in Yunnan province in recent 6 years, 23 strains of influenza virus of HA and NA gene was sequenced and analyzed by MEGA 5 software to construct phylogenetic tree. 4 times of influenza AH1N1 epidemic peak were monitored from 2009-2014 years in Yunnan Province, as the nucleic acid detection results of influenza A H1N1 accounted for 28.8% of the total. The sequencing result showed that HA and NA gene were divided into 3 groups, one was detected with H275Y mutation strains. Influenza A H1N1 is one of the important subtypes in Yunnan province and their genes have divided into three branches during the period of 2009-2014 years, the vast majority of influenza a H1N1 are still sensitive to neuraminidase inhibitors.

Objective To understand the viral etiology of acute respiratory infection in Kunming area. Methods We collected the nasopharyngeal swab of patients with acute respiratory tract infection,and used multiple reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method to detect 15 kinds of respiratory viral pathogens. Results Among the 600 samples,144 strains of viruses were detected, the positive rate was 24%,among which the highest positive rate was RSV (49/600,8.2%),followed by PIV (32/600,5.3%) HRV (27/600,4.5%) and IFV27 (27/600,4.5%) . The respiratory virus infection situation was different in every age group, groups of the highest virus positive rate was ≤1 age group (72/216, 33.3%);The respiratory virus infection situation in different seasons was different, the virus positive rate of the first quarter was the highest (85/144, 59%) . Conclusion RSV was the main virus pathogen of acute respiratory tract infections in Kunming area in 2011 years, the detection rate in sick children was the highest among all patients;the detection rate in the first quarter was higher than other quarters.

Objective:To study the current setup of diagnosis and treatment subjects in China and make reform suggestions in light of existing problems.Methods:Relevant documents on medical institutions′ diagnosis and treatment subjects setup were retrieved from such databases as CNKI, Wanfang and Weipu database, while relevant national policies, laws and regulations were reviewed. On-site visits were conducted to health committees and medical institutions in 7 provinces from June 2020 through December 2020. Seminars and special interviews were held with relevant management personnel and doctors of different positions, for the purpose of learning the current medical institutions′ diagnosis and treatment subjects and their suggestions for reform. Data gained from the above methods were summarized to arrive at reform suggestions for optimizing China′s medical institutions′ diagnosis and treatment subjects, with further improvement made based on expert consultation method.Results:Problems found focus on such areas as inconsistent setup standards for medical treatment subjects, multiple overlapping services, and unclear numbering rules. Based on the disease list and skill list of the DRG system, a novel diagnosis and treatment subject setup method guided by service items could be established. Otherwise, the numbering and categories could changed on the current basis to correct existing problems. The subjects could be divided into such five categories as clinical, oral, traditional Chinese medicine, medical technology, and comprehensive, with level-1 and level-2 subjects set up respectively.Conclusions:In terms of subject functions, the setup of diagnosis and treatment subjects should be regularly adjusted or filed, instead of complete equivalence with administratively licensed subjects. As the current setup of diagnosis and treatment subjects had been in place for years, and had become key references for the department setup and performance appraisal of medical institutions, it was proposed to make adjustment on the current basis for the purpose of correcting existing problems.

Objective:To analyze the setup basis and registration rules of the practice scope of physicians in China, and take into account the current situation of individual provinces, for suggestions on further revision of the practice scope of these physicians.Methods:Relevant documents on practice scope setup were retrieved from such databases as CNKI, Wanfang and Weipu databases, while relevant national policies, laws and regulations were reviewed. On-site visits were conducted to health committees and medical institutions in 7 provinces from June 2020 through December 2020. Seminars and special interviews were held with relevant management personnel and doctors of different positions, for the purpose of learning the current physician practice scope setup and their suggestions for reform. Data gained from the above methods were summarized to arrive at reform suggestions for optimizing China′s practice scope setup, with further improvement made based on expert consultation method.Results:Several setbacks were found in the setup of their practice scope in China, namely as unclear setup principles, generalized setup of the national standards, inconsistent setup standards among the provinces, prohibition of cross-category registration, and roadblocks against in changing scope of practice. As the setup of the practice scope should set free manpower, unleash vitality, and delegate power, the practice scope should be changed to three categories of " discipline" , " discipline+ technology" and " comprehensive" . Physicians should be entitled to register separately as " discipline" and " discipline+ technology" as their practice scope, with " comprehensive" practice scope approved by a simple procedure of a notice.Conclusions:The setup and modification of the practice scope should be in a general rather than detailed manner, and conducive to the development of related disciplines. Such measures should also fully unleash the vitality of Chinese physicians, and take into account of both peacetime and emergencies, and both medical service and prevention.
