The paper proposed a concept to build a management system for operating room hidden costs in an effort to better hospital management and alleviate patients' economic burden.The authors analyzed the root of such costs from the levels of operating room's design and construction,as well as management and operations,proposing a framework of such hidden costs.Based on diversified cost characteristics,they come up with a number of estimating methods,and control methods against different hidden costs by using management theories systematically.

[ABSTRACT]AIM:Toinvestigatetheeffectofintracerebroventricular(icv)injectionofacidulatedartificialce-rebrospinal fluid ( aCSF ) on the respiratory reactions and the functions of acid sensing ion channels ( ASICs ) in this process.METHODS:Healthy adult SD rats (n=30) were divided into aCSF with pH 7.4 control group, aCSF with pH 6.5 group, amiloride control group, amiloride plus aCSF with pH 6.5 group, psalmotoxin 1 (PcTx1) control group and PcTx1 plus aCSF with pH 6.5 group.The electromyogram (EMG) of the diaphragm was monitored to observe the respirato-ry responses induced by icv injection of acidulated aCSF .The ASICs blockers were also injected into the lateral cerebral ventricle firstly and acidulated aCSF was injected following the ASICs blockers to observe the effect of ASICs on the respira -tory regulation by the central chemoreceptor .RESULTS:After icv injection of acidulated aCSF , the respiratory responses of the rats were excited (P<0.05).The respiratory excitation responses disappeared after icv injection of ASICs blocker amiloride.The degree of respiratory excitation was weakened after icv injection of ASIC 1a blockers-PcTx1.CONCLU-SION:ASICs play a key role in the respiratory regulation by the central chemoreceptor and ASIC 1a partly operates in this process.

Objective To investigate the changes of gut barrier function under glucocorticoid, so as to understand the reasons of gut-derived infection and bacteria infection.Methods Fifty-six Wistar rats were divided into control and methylprednisolone (Mep, 100 mg/kg, i.p., once every day) groups, and there were four time points in each group (0, 3, 5, 7 day). At each time point the rats were subjected to general anaesthesia and blood, mesenteric lymph nodes, enteric content and ileal tissue were obtained for determination of serum D-lactic, DAO, intestinal microecosystem, apoptosis index of mesenteric lymph nodes and bacterial culture. Results At the latter three time points, compared with control group, serum D-lactic and DAO, and apoptosis index of mesenteric lymph nodes in MeP group were significantly increased (P 0.05) from the day 3 after administration,the positive rate of organs bacterial culture in MeP groups at the No7 day is much higher than that in control group(P

[Objective]To assess whether calcitonin exerts an chondroprotective action in unstable knees which induce experimental osteoarthritis.[Method]Twenty 6-month New Zealand rabbits were divided into two groups randomly.All rabbits underwent anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT) on the right knee.Rabbits of experimental group began to receive a daffy subcutaneous injection of salmon calcitonin at a dose of 5 IU per kg of body weight on day 7 postsurgery;in contrast,control group received normal saline(NS) at the same dose.All rabbits were killed on day 42 postsurgery.The knee joints were examined grossly and histologically and scored;the medial condyle sections were stained with Safranin O and immunohistochemistry of collagen II.We applied a computer graphic technology to assess the glycosaminoglycans(GAG) and collagen II of articular cartilage.[Result](1) In control group,compared uninjured knee joints with operative knee joints,the appearance of operative knee joints accorded with OA and histologic score of operative knee joints were higher than that of uninjured knee joints,P

Objective: To develop the norms of Chinese Words and Vocabulary Discerning Test (CWVDT). Methods: According to the principle of stratified proportional sampling,a total of 1605 adult subjects from 17 cities and their surrounding rural areas of China was measured by CWVDT. Results: ①There was significant difference in two dimensions scores and total score of CWVDT between city and countryside(P0.05). Conclusion: The nationwide norms of city and countryside with educated degrees on CWVDT have been developed and with a good representation.

Objectives To evaluate efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis with urokinase(UK) for treatment of patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI)at early stage.Methods 76 patients with ACI onseting within 6 hours were randomizd into two groups,UK regime group and control group.UK group was given included 250 000 units UK IV injection and then 1500 000 units IV dripping.Neurologic defect scoring system was used to evaluate patients' responses at admission,and 24 hours,one week,two weeks as well as 4 weeks after treatment.Results Significant improvements of neurologic defect scorings happened in both groups between 24 hours and 4 weeks after treatment.As for the improvement of neurologic defect scoring,there were significant defferences between both groups at 24 hours,1st week,2nd weeks and 4th weeks of post dosing respectively(P

Objective To study the operative methods and surgical technique of arthroscopical meniscal suture in treatment of meniscal tears under local anesthesia. Methods From February 1999 to November 2003, we cure 32 patients (22 males and 10 females) with this method. The patients' average age is 29. Results All of the patients accept the operation through arthroscopy under local anesthesia. The procedure last 50 minutes on an average. 92% of the patients gain good results, no severe complications. Conclusion This method has the advantages of less pain, time saving(save time), quick recovery and less complications.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for thrombosis by investigating the incidence of central venous catheter‐related thrombosis in elderly patients .Methods Four hundred and five elderly patients who underwent central venous catheterization were divided into femoral vein group(n=46) ,internal jugular vein group (n=40) and subclavian vein group (n=319) according to their catheter position ,or into thrombosis group (n=31) and non‐thrombosis group (n=374) according to the incidence of central venous catheter‐related thrombosis .T heir gender ,age ,basic diseases ,catheter position ,retention time of catheter ,and complications of central venous catheter‐related thrombosis were retrospectively analyzed .Results The incidence of central venous cathe‐ter‐related thrombosis was significantly lower in subclavian vein group than in internal jugular vein group and femoral vein group (5 .0% vs 15 .0% ,5 .0% vs 19 .6% ,P<0 .05 ,P<0 .01) .The percentage of past venous thrombosis history was significantly higher in thrombosis group than in non‐thrombosis group (19 .4% vs 6 .4% ,P<0 .05) .Conclusions Subclavian vein catheterization can significantly reduce the incidence of central venous catheter‐related thrombosis and past ve‐nous thrombosis history can predict the incidence of central venous catheter‐related thrombosis in elderly patients .
