Objective To establish the method for content determination of total coumarins in Fructus Cnidii.Methods The content of the total coumarins was determined by UV spectrophotometry.Results The optimal detective wavelength was 320 nm for the total coumarins.Satisfactroy linear relationship with the absorbability was achieved when the mass concentration of osthole was within the range of 2～12 ?g/mL(r=0.999 5).The average recovery rate was 99.39%(RSD=2.67%,n=6).Conclusion The method is simple,accurate and sensitive,and it can be used for the quality control of Fructus cnidii and its preparation.

Objective To study application of Chinese general practice assessment questionnaire (GPAQ)consultation version 2.0 in evaluating patients' satisfaction with community health-care service (CHS).Methods First,origihal GPAQ consultation version 2.0 in English was translated into Chinese language by three experts in general practice/family medicine field,then translated it back into English,finally a Chinese version of GPAQ was formed.Ten medical doctors who were on duty on 25 April,2008 at each out-patient clinic from CHS of Daxing,Nancaiyuan,Yongning and Hancunhe were selected randomly as targets for evaluation of service satisfaction.A sample of the first 30 patients(1200 in total)aged more than 16 years who visited the clinic on that day were selected to fill out the Chinese GPAQ consultation version 2.0 to express their satisfaction with the medical doctors they visited,and reliability and validity of the questionnaire was then evaluated.Results Cronbach's alpha ranged 0.734 to 0.813 for each domain of the Chinese version of GPAQ2.0.and cumulated contribution of three common factors with the eigen-value more than one reached 58.722%.Scores of patients' satisfaction withreceptionists,access,continuity,doctor's communication skills andpatient enablement were significantly lower,as compared to those of national bench-mark in the United Kingdom,with t-values of -6.397,-11.729,-6.328,-59.871 and -2.210,and all P＜0.05.respectively.Conclusions The Chinese version of GPAO 2.0 achieves good reliability and modcrate validity,and can be used as an instrument for evaluating patient's satisfaction with quality of CHS in China as further revision in the future studies.

Objective To evaluate the application value of situational simulation method based on SimMan 3G in anesthesiology teaching. Methods 5-years anesthesiology under-graduates of 2012 grade and 2013 grade in Wannan Medical Colloge anticipating in clinical practice of anesthesia were selected as observation group. All students were divided into two groups: control group (teachers demonstrated cases, 2012 grade, n=35) and observation group (students role-played simulation cases, 2013 grade, n=36). In control group, teachers firstly applied a multimedia courseware, and then demonstrated the cases to adopt the SimMan 3G simulated system. In observation group, SimMan 3G situational simulation method was used to teach the course , and then the students played roles and videotaped the whole course in the simulated operating room. After training, the students discussed their performance in the simulated training (by the playback of the simulated video), and the teachers commented and summarized the case. The effect of teaching was evaluated by questionnaire and examination. The date were analyzed through Chi-square and t-test test. Results There was no significant difference in essential characteristics, including age, gender, the scores of specialized theory at routine examination between two groups (P>0.05). Statistical difference was found in the theoretical assessment between observation group and control group [(79.44±5.41) vs. (73.46± 4.62), P=0.001]. Meanwhile, questionnaire survey of teaching effect showed that in observation group 31 students (86.1％) were satisfied with the teaching contents, 33 students (91.7％) had consolidated clinical thinking, and 34 students (94.4％) believed it improved their teamwork and communication ability (P=0.031, P=0.018, P=0.013). Conclusion Using SimMan3G for role-playing situational simulation teaching can significantly improve student's comprehensive theoretical scores, facilitate the exercise of clinical thinking, and improve their teamwork and communication skills.

Objective To enhance the quality of medical services in the intensive care unit(ICU)of provincial traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)hospitals.Methods In November 2023,Sichuan Provincial Critical Care Medicine Quality Control Center of TCM launched the"quality control supervision project scoring standard for critical care medicine of TCM"to conduct quality control evaluation and business guidance for all TCM hospitals with independent ICU.The survey covered structural indicators,control indicators,participation of TCM,development of new technologies,and diagnosis and treatment programs for dominant diseases.Results In terms of structural indicators:a total of 110 TCM hospitals in the province have independent ICU,an increase of 1.12 times compared with 2019.The control indicators showed that the ICU patients admission rate was higher than that of the national ICU admission rate in 2017,and the admission rate of patients with acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)score≥15 points increased.However,the mortality of ICU exceeded the national average.The implementation of core indicators had been significantly improved,but the incidence of outcome indicators such as ICU ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP),ICU intravascular catheter-related bloodstream infection(CRBSI),and ICU catheter-related urinary tract infection(CAUTI)had increased since 2019,mainly in secondary hospitals.The average number of new technologies was about(5.5±3.4),the participation rate of TCM decreased,and the dominant diseases increased compared with 2019,mainly sepsis,respiratory failure and hemorrhagic stroke.Conclusions The number of ICU units in TCM hospitals at all levels in Sichuan province has grown rapidly,and key performance indicators have also improved compared to previous periods.However,greater efforts are still needed in preventing the occurrence rates of VAP,CRBSI,and CAUTI.There is a shortage of medical resources allocation,and the imbalance in regional medical resources and professional training remains an urgent issue to be addressed.Additionally,the participation rate of TCM and the dominant diseases need further enhancement.
