The development of new media technologies and the proposal of Healthy China program have provided new technical support and policy endorsement for health services.At the same time, knowledge adaptability, service efficiency and cooperation mode are bringing forth challenges to traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) knowledge management. This study, citing the National famous doctor inheritance studios as an example, introduced the dimension of knowledge value into the knowledge management of TCM, constructed the cycle path of knowledge management, and analyzed the process of knowledge management, knowledge output and application, for the purposes of exploring the main reasons for the dilemma of knowledge sharing in the communities of National famous doctor inheritance studios.Finally, the paper put forward targeted measures in the following aspects: the creation of inheritance and innovation value chain, the expansion of social cooperation mode, the refinement of health service path and the integration of human resources. These measures aim to provide references for guiding the reform of TCM knowledge management and improving the value creation of TCM knowledge.

Objective:To investigate the changes of macular region structure before and after operation in patients with macular epiretinal membrane,and its relationship with the visual function of patients.Methods:The clinical data of 60 patients with macular epiretinal membrane (60 eyes) in our hospital from February 2014 to August 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were examined with optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination,and observed the changes ofmacula central fovea and retinal each azimuth thickness,and the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was recorded before and after operation,and the correlations of them were analysised.Results:The visual acuity was improved in 53 patients (53 eyes) after operation,accounting for 88.33％,and the visual acuity was unchanged in 7 patients (7 eyes),accounting for 11.67％.The preoperative BCVA of patients was (0.18± 0.07),and it was (0.38± 0.12) at 3 months after operation,which was significantly higher than before operation (P＜0.05).Postoperative macular central thickness,inner side of the inner ring thickness,nasal side of the inner ring thickness,above the inner ring thickness,below the inner ring thickness,outer ringtemporal side thickness,external ring nasal side thickness,above the outer ring thickness,below the outer ring thickness in patients compared with the preoperative were significantly lower,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The Pearson correlation analysis showed that preoperative macular central thickness,preoperative inner side of the inner ring thickness,preoperative outer ring temporal side thickness,the difference of macular fovea thickness before and after operation,the difference of the medial temporal before and after operationwas,the difference of outer ring temporal side before and after operation were negatively correlated with postoperative BCVA (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Vitrectomy can significantly reduce macular retinal thickness in patients with macular epiretinal membrane,and it can improve the visual function of patients,and the shape ofmacular region before operation had some influence on postoperative visual acuity.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of phosphorylation of mammalian target protein of rapamycin (pmTOR) expression with glioma malignancy grades,and the correlation of pmTOR expression with Survivin and Ki-67,which represent tumor cell anti-apoptosis ability and reproductive activity.MethodsImmunohistochemistry EliVision method was employed to detect the expression of pmTOR,Survivin and Ki-67 in paraffin tissues from 87 patients with glioma (grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ 27 cases,grade Ⅲ24 cases and grade Ⅳ 36 cases).The association between positive expression rate,level of pmTOR and malignancy grades,and the correlation of its expression level with Survivin and Ki-67 were further evaluated.Results There was no significant difference in the positive expression rate of pmTOR among grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ(77.8％,21/27),grade Ⅲ(75.0％,18/24) and grade Ⅳ (72.2％,23/36) (P ＞ 0.05).However,the significant association between pmTOR expression level and malignancy grades was observed.The expression from 87 patients with glioma was significantly positively correlated with Survivin and Ki-67 expression level (r =0.858,P ＜ 0.01 ;r =0.708,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsThe expression level of pmTOR is associated with malignancy grades,tumor cell anti-apoptosis ability and reproductive activity.pmTOR may be served as a useful marker for predicting the biological behavior of glioma and a useful target for gene therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the in vivo possibility of osteogenesis and angiogenesis of tissue-engineered periosteum in rabbits.METHODS: The marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from New Zealand rabbits were adhered to small intestinal submucosa (SIS) to fabricate the tissue-engineered periosteum. Totally 12 New Zealand rabbits were received critical bone defect in bilateral radii to prepare models. The tissue-engineered periosteum was randomly implanted in one side of bone defect,and the other side was treated by SIS. At 4 weeks after operation, the angiogenesis of tissue engineered bone was detected by Tetracycline fluorescence microscopy and formaldehyde-ink perfusion method; simultaneously, the new bone formation was firmed by haematoxylin-eosin staining.RESULTS: Animals showed normal daily behaviors and non-infection wounds healing. The gross observation showed that bone defects in the experimental side were bridged with newly formed bone; while the defects of the control side were remained empty.Tetracycline fluorescence microscopy and hisotological examination could confirm the new bone tissue formation in the experimental side. The ink staining in new bone specimens suggested that there were abundant of neovasculization in tissue-engineered bone.CONCLUSION: Tissue-engineered periosteum can form new bone in allogenic rabbits and can be vascularized by some inherent mechanism for new bone tissue survivor.

Objective To investigate the effect of macrophage polarization on tubulointerstitial fibrosis of mouse unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO) model.Methods Twelve male C57BL/6J mice were employed,each of which with an age of 8 to 10 weeks.UUO model was established with these mice with the method of unilateral ureteral ligation.Mice were then sacrificed on the 7th and 14th day respectively after operation,and renal tissue specimens were obtained.The authors detected collagen deposition by Masson staining,and alpha smooth muscle actin (alpha SMA) as well as collagen type Ⅰ (Coll-1) mRNA by real-time quantitative PCR.The authors also detected the degree of renal interstitial macrophages infiltration and expression changes of polarization by immunofluorescence staining.Results Compared with the mice that were observed on the 7th day after operation,the degree of renal interstitial fibrosis in mice observed on the 14th day after operation was comparatively serious,the difference shown by semi-quantitative results was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,mice observed on the 14th day after operation have more M2 macrophages,the difference between two groups of mice was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).On the contrary,there was no statistically significant difference in the degree of M1 macrophages infiltration between these two groups of mice.Conclusions In the renal interstitial fibrosis model induced by UUO,the degree of macrophage infiltration increased significantly,mainly resulted from M2 macrophage infiltration,suggesting that M2 macrophages were involved in the formation of renal fibrosis.

Objective:To analyze the disease characteristics and hospitalization burden of elderly inpatients with cerebrovascular disease, so as to provide basis for disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions.Methods:The data of the first page of medical records of elderly inpatients with cerebrovascular disease from 2015 to 2020 in a comprehensive tertiary hospital in Jiangsu Province were retrospectively collected.Descriptive analysis, variance analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were carried out for the research objects using SPSS statistics and Python complex network methods.Results:A total of 14 657 elderly inpatients with cerebrovascular disease were included.From 2015 to 2020, the number of hospitalizations increased from 1 268 to 4 733, the average number of hospitalizations increased from 2.0 to 2.9, the average length of stay decreased from 11.9 days to 9.1 days, and the average number of illnesses increased from 1.9 to 4.9.The five most common comorbidities associated with cerebrovascular diseases were hypertension, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, other types of heart disease and other respiratory diseases.From 2015 to 2020, the average hospitalization costs of elderly cerebrovascular inpatients decreased from 20588.1 Chinese yuan(CYN)to 15580.9 Chinese yuan(CYN). The hospitalization cost was mainly composed of drug cost(46.6%), diagnosis cost(28.2%)and treatment cost(20.2%). There were significant differences in the average hospitalization expenses among patients with different gender, age, number of admissions, length of stay and number of diseases( P<0.05 for all). Gender, age, number of hospitalizations and length of stay had an impact on hospitalization expenses. Conclusions:The number of inpatients, comorbidities, and hospitalized times of elderly patients with cerebrovascular disease showed an increasing trend, while the number of hospitalization days and the average hospitalization cost showed a downward trend.Comorbidities associated with cerebrovascular diseases should be one of the concerns of chronic disease management in the elderly.

Objective:To analyze the hospitalization expenses of elderly patients with hypertension and its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for optimizing the medical service management of elderly patients with hypertension.Methods:Medical record home page data of all hypertension inpatients of elderly patients at two tertiary general hospitals in Jiangsu province from 2017 to 2020 were retrieved. These data were used to analyze the basic information, hospitalization expenses and their influencing factors. Descriptive analysis was used for all data, variance analysis was used for one-way analysis, and multiple linear regression was used for multivariate analysis.Results:A total of 20 596 elderly inpatients with hypertension were included in this study. The number of patients was increased from 1 476 in 2017 to 10 771 in 2020. Among them, the number of inpatients with≥2 diseases increased from 1 105(74.86%) to 10 564(98.08%); From 2017 to 2020, the average hospitalization expenses of elderly inpatients with hypertension were 11 500 yuan, 13 600 yuan, 13 800 yuan and 14 100 yuan respectively, increasing year by year; Gender, age, number of hospitalizations, hospitalization days and number of diseases were the influencing factors of hospitalization expenses( P<0.05), and the hospitalization expenses increased with the increase of hospitalization days, number of diseases and age. Conclusions:The number of elderly patients with hypertension, the incidence of comorbidity, and the average hospitalization cost in tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu province were increasing year by year. There were many factors affecting the hospitalization cost. The author suggested that the treatment of elderly patients with hypertension should be shifted to prevention, so as to reduce the economic burden of disease and improve their quality of life.

Objective:To identify the influencing factors for community elderly health services provided by general practitioners (GPs) using the social ecological theory, for reference in improving their participation and satisfaction.Methods:According to the social ecological theory, an ecological model for GPs to carry out community elderly health services was constructed from four levels: public policy ecology, community health service ecology, interpersonal relationship ecology, and individual characteristics ecology of general practitioners. A survey questionnaire was designed with six latent variables: public health policy support, public health service and basic medical service supply, doctor-patient relationship, individual participation and individual satisfaction. The questionnaire was distributed to 220 GPs from 11 primary healthcare institutions in Jiangsu province, China, who were randomly selected between October and November 2021. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses of the model were conducted using AMOS 25.0.Results:A total of 207 valid questionnaires were collected, and all the KMO values of the six latent variables were greater than 0.7, while the composite reliability values and average variance extracted values greater than 0.7 and 0.5, respectively. Both the reliability and validity of the data met the analysis requirements. Exploratory analysis revealed that public health policy support had a direct positive effect on both public health service and basic medical service supply (both effect sizes being 0.37). Public health service had a direct positive effect on doctor-patient relationship, individual participation and individual satisfaction (effect sizes being 0.52, 0.22, and 0.31, respectively). The direct effect of basic medical service supply on doctor-patient relationship was not significant (effect size being 0.03), but it had a direct positive effect on public health service (effect size being 0.46). Doctor-patient relationship had a direct positive effect on individual participation (effect size being 0.51), but its direct effect on individual satisfaction was not significant (effect size being 0.06). Individual participation had a direct positive effect on individual satisfaction (effect size being 0.52). Conclusions:By optimizing the public policy ecosystem, community health service ecosystem, and interpersonal relationship ecosystem, the participation and satisfaction of general practitioners can be systematically improved.

The prevalence of heart failure(HF) is increasing worldwide, and mitral regurgitation(MR) is a common manifestation in patients with end-stage HF. Currently, the indications for concomitant surgical intervention of significant preoperative MR during left ventricular assist device(LVAD) implantation are still controversial. Based on discussing the etiology, classification, and pathophysiology of functional MR in patients with end-stage HF, this paper reviews the relevant factors affecting the prognosis of such patients and the progress of research related to whether to perform mitral valve surgery to intervene in significant MR during LVAD implantation, to provide a further reference for clinical practice.
