The paper described the necessity of social capital utilization for public hospitals, and analyzed the model and characteristics of public hospital financing. It is pointed out that the key to the public-benefit nature in the financing calls for distinguishing responsibilities of the government and the market, defining the reasonable level and manner for investors' return, and building corresponding incentive mechanism and supervision mechanism.

Objective To evaluate the subclinical dysfunction of left ventricle (LV) induced by anthracycline(ATC) in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) as well as real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE).Methods Traditional echocardiography images and RT3DE images were acquired from 59 patients with DLBCL before,after the completion of two cures(100 mg∕m 2)and four cures of the regimen(200 mg∕m 2).LV global longitudinal strain(GLS),global circumferential strain(GCS),LV apical rotation and basal rotation,LV end-diastolic volume (EDV),end-systolic volume (ESV),stroke volume(SV) and ejection fraction(EF)were calculated simultaneously.Results Compared with baseline, LV apical rotation and basal rotation reduced significantly after two cures and four cures of therapy [LV apical rotation:(5.34±1 .80)°vs (3.80±1 .45)°vs (2.96±1 .1 8)°;LV basal rotation:(-3.32±1 .14)°vs (-2.65±1 .12)°vs (-2.56±1 .19)°;both P <0.01].LV GLS and GCS decreased significantly till four cures of treatment compared with those at baseline[GLS:(-21 .62±2.5 1)% vs(-20.1 7±2.74)%;GCS:(-26.34±4.76)% vs (-23.27 ±4.73)%;both P <0.01].The alternation on EDV,ESV,SV and EF manifested no visible degradation during the whole procedure (P > 0.05 for all). Conclusions Cardiotoxicity during the early phase of anthracycline treatment can be detected via 2DSTE prior to the traditional echocardiographic expression of ventricular systolic function.The left ventricular rotation index seems to be more sensitive than strain parameters for the estimation of early cardiac injury in patients with ATC chemotherapy.There is no safe dose for anthracycline in all patients with DLBCL treated with anthracycline even at lower doses.

Objective Both right and left ventricular function should be taken into account in the assessment of anthracycline (ATC)-induced cardiotoxicity.The aim of this study was to assess the subclinical dysfunction of right cardiac system in patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma who received ATC treatment by echocardiography.Methods A total of 74 patients with lymphoma who received ATC treatment were enrolled.Each patient underwent transthoracic echocardiographic examination before chemotherapy as well as after two,four and six cycles of ATC remedy.Right atrial (RA) and right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic area (EDA) and end-systolic area (ESA) were calculated.RV end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-systolic volume (ESV),as well as RV ejection fraction (EF) were measured simultaneously.Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) measurements of systolic and early or late diastolic myocardial velocities of RV free wall at tricuspid annuals were also analyzed.Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) was conducted to evaluate RV free wall strain along with strain rate.Results None of the echocardiographic parameters showed significant alteration after two and four cycles of chemotherapy compared with those at baseline (P＞0.05).At the end of the therapy (i.e.after six cycles of ATC treatment),there was still no statistical difference on TDI data aswell as 2DSTE measurements (P＞0.05).An unexpected finding was that the RAEDA((6.6±1.9) cm2 vs (7.7±2.4) cm2) and RAESA ((8.8±2.5) cm2 vs (10.8±2.8) cm2) revealed obvious dilatation after six cures of the regimen compared with those at baseline (P＜0.01).Similar morphologic characteristics displayed on the RVEDA ((14.1 ±3.4) cm2 vs (16.2±3.7) cm2) and RVESA ((7.9±1.9) cm2 vs (9.0±2.2) cm2) (P＜0.01)simultaneously.Furthermore,RVEDV ((29.8±10.5) ml vs (37.0±12.7) ml) and RVESV ((12.7±4.4) ml vs (15.0±5.2) ml),as well as RVEF ((59.4±5.8)％ vs (56.4±5.8)％),in patients with lymphoma presented statistically significant difference between basic state and the level after six cycles of chemotherapy (P＜0.01).Meanwhile,no marked change was detected on left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) throughout the follow-up period (P＞0.05).Conclusions Echocardiography can be used easily and noninvasively to assess right cardiac system subclinical dysfunction.ATC-induced cardiotoxicity of right cardiac system is firstly manifested as morphological changes than the measurements with novel echocardiographic techniques.In addition,RVEF expresses as a valuable parameter for assessing subtle RV impaired performance in patients with lymphoma received ATC therapy.

Objective: As the prevention and control of COVID-19continues to advance, the active nucleic acid test screening in the close contacts of the patients has been carrying out in many parts of China. However, the false-positive rate of positive results in the screening has not been reported up to now. But to clearify the false-positive rate during screening is important in COVID-19 control and prevention. Methods: Point values and reasonable ranges of the indicators which impact the false-positive rate of positive results were estimated based on the information available to us at present. The false-positive rate of positive results in the active screening was deduced, and univariate and multivariate-probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to understand the robustness of the findings. Results: When the infection rate of the close contacts and the sensitivity and specificity of reported results were taken as the point estimates, the positive predictive value of the active screening was only 19.67%, in contrast, the false-positive rate of positive results was 80.33%. The multivariate-probabilistic sensitivity analysis results supported the base-case findings, with a 75% probability for the false-positive rate of positive results over 47%. Conclusions In the close contacts of COVID-19 patients, nearly half or even more of the 'asymptomatic infected individuals’ reported in the active nucleic acid test screening might be false positives.

Objective To explore the application value of echocardiography in the differential diagnosis of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis(ATTR-CA)and immunoglobulin light chain cardiac amyloidosis(AL-CA).Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of echocardiographic parameters of 50 confirmed CA patients diagnosed between November 2021 and January 2024 at The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,including 6 cases of ATTR and 44 cases of AL.Parameters that could potentially distinguish between the two subtypes were selected using t-tests and x2 tests,and the diagnostic capabilities of these parameters for the two subtypes were analyzed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results There were no statistically significant differences in general characteristics,global longitudinal strain(GLS),ratio of apical to basal strain,ejection fraction to GLS ratio(EFSR),maximum thickness of left ventricular myocardium,relative thickness of left ventricular wall,presence of thickened atrioventricular valves,or presence of enlarged atria between ATTR and AL groups(P＞0.05).The interventricular septal thickness was greater than in ATTR group than in AL group(P＜0.05),and the E/e'ratio(ratio of spectral Doppler early diastolic peak velocity to tissue Doppler early diastolic peak velocity)was greater in ATTR group than in AL group(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve for distinguishing between the two subtypes based on interventricular septal thickness and E/e'ratio were 0.891(95％CI:0.792-0.991)and 0.826(95％CI:0.698-0.955),respectively,with a sensitivity of 100.00％and specificity of 95.24％for combined diagnosis.Conclusion Echocardiographic parameters,including E/e'ratio and interventricular septal thickness,may have clinical significance in distinguishing between the two main subtypes of CA in patients.

Objective:To explore the method and curative effect evaluation of repairing and rebuilding the long segmental bone defect after resection of long bone malignant tumors in adolescents.Methods:Reviewed our experience in 10 patients. Among them, 4 were male and 6 were female. The age was 10.2 years old (range, 6-16 years old). Including 7 cases of osteosarcoma, 3 cases of Ewing's sarcoma; 2 cases of humerus tumors, 7 cases of femoral tumors, and 1 case of tibial tumors-who presented between April 2015 and October 2019, in which the proportion of bone defect account for 71.4%-89.3% of the total length of diseased bone after tumor resection, with an average value of 80.9%. Considering the epiphyseal growth of young people, on the premise of ensuring enlarged tumor resection, we use traditional fibula autograft and prosthesis combined with steel plate, 3D printing design to retain the super-prosthesis of the epiphysis, and 3D printing bone trabecular was processed for the sake of making it grow successfully into the binding part of prosthesis and bone as we expect, simultaneously, the design of the short-force arm retaining the bilateral epiphysis can assit the steel plate and interlocking screws to enhance the stability.Results:The operation was completed successfully, and there were no complications such as nerve and blood vessel injury during the operation. After follow-up of 4-8 months, with an average follow-up of 22.9 months. One patient's review of X-ray film after 2 years of the operation showed that the transplanted fibula had a sign of bone resorption, and the internal fixation was in it's original position without obvious abnormalities. Two cases' auxiliary steel plates had fractured within one and a half to two years after surgery. With replacing the fractured steel plates, the internal fixation was good until now. According to the evaluation standards of the International Society of Limb Salvation: 2 cases of humerus osteosarcoma were respectively scored 23 points, 26 points, an average of 24.5 points; 4 cases of femoral osteosarcoma and 3 cases of femoral Ewing's sarcoma respectively scored 26 points and 25 points, 19 points, 30 points, 27 points, 24 points, 28 points (average, 25.6 points); 1 case of tibial osteosarcoma scored 26 points; all obtained relative satisfying treatment results.Conclusion:The combination of 3D printing and traditional machining techniques to produce an individualized long segmental prosthesis that preserves the epiphysis which applicated in the limb salvage treatment of bone malignant tumors can achieve excellent therapeutic effect.

【Objective】 To explore the dynamic change of depression in diabetic patients so as to provide evidence for early detection and warning of psychological problems in diabetic patients. 【Methods】 Based on the data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study （CHARLS）， the propensity score matching method was used to eliminate confounding factors in the study. The linear growth model， the nonlinear quadratic growth model， and the growth model without defined curve type were fitted respectively. According to the fitting indices of the models， the optimal solution of the growth function was determined to explore the changes of depression development in the diabetic patients. 【Results】 A total of 5 711 cases （5 380 cases in the non-diabetic group and 331 cases in the diabetic group） were included in the study. After propensity score matching， 1 621 cases （1 291 cases in the non-diabetic group and 330 cases in the diabetic group） were included and all confounding factors were balanced between the two groups. By fitting three growth curve models with latent variables， the results showed that the model without defined curve type was better than the other two models. The mean depression score for initial status in the non-diabetic and diabetic groups was 9.640 and 10.097， respectively， with significant inter-individual differences. During the follow-up period， the depression status of both groups showed a trend of decrease first and then increase， but the depression score was always lower in the non-diabetic group than in the diabetic group. At the same time， there was no individual difference in the rate of change between the two groups， and there was no statistical difference between the initial depression score and the subsequent slope of change. 【Conclusion】 Exploring the change track of depression status over time in diabetic patients， understanding the individual psychological change trend and further explaining the differences between individuals are of great significance for intervention on psychological status at different stages.

【Objective】 To compare the ability of body mass index （BMI）， body fat percentage （BFP）， waist circumference （WC）， waist-to-height ratio （WHtR）， visceral fat index （VFI） and the combinations of two kinds of obesity indices to predict the risk of hypertension. 【Methods】 Data collected in the baseline survey of “Gansu Province’s Urban and Rural Natural Population Cohort Establishment and Tumor Follow-up Study” were analyzed. Area under the curve （AUC） of ROC curve with covariates was used to analyze and compare the effects of individual obesity evaluation index and the combination of two kinds of obesity indices in predicting the risk of hypertension. 【Results】 Analyses of data of 20，079 adults showed that the AUC of BMI， WC， WHtR， BFP and VFI was 0.636， 0.604， 0.615， 0.614 and 0.619， respectively. AUC of the combination of BMI and WC （0.643） was higher than that of BMI （0.636）； however， the change rate of AUC was only 1.09%. AUC of the combinations of WC， WHtR and VFI， the three central obesity evaluation indices， and BFP， a general obesity evaluation index， were lower than that of BMI. The optimal cutoff value for BMI was 24.2 kg/m². 【Conclusion】 The effect of BMI in predicting the risk of hypertension is better than that of BFP， WC， WHtR and VFI. The effects of the combinations of the two kinds of obesity evaluation indices are not better than that of BMI. To prevent and control hypertension， adults should keep their BMI under overweight.

【Objective】 To estimate the prevalence, associated factors and patterns of multimorbidity of non-communicable diseases among adults in Shaanxi Province so as to provide evidence for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases. 【Methods】 We used the data of adults aged 18 years and older collected in the baseline survey of Shaanxi Project in the Regional Ethnic Cohort Study in Northwest China. Multinomial logistic regression was used to explore the associated factors for multimorbidity. Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract patterns of multimorbidity. 【Results】 The prevalence of multimorbidity was 10.7% among the 44 442 participants. Age increase, being males, urban residence, and being overweight or obesity were positively associated with multimorbidity. Compared with women, men had a higher risk of multimorbidity. The OR and 95% CI was 1.25 (1.12-1.39). The risk of multimorbidity increased with age among adults. Compared with participants aged 18.0-34.9 years, the ORs and 95% CIs of those aged 35.0-44.9, 45.0-54.9, 55.0-64.9, and ≥65.0 years were 4.73 (3.47-6.46), 15.61 (11.60-21.00), 41.39 (30.76-55.70) and 90.04 (66.58-121.77), respectively. The primary multimorbidity patterns among adults in Shaanxi were cardiovascular-metabolic multimorbidity (5.4%), viscero-articular multimorbidity (1.0%), and respiratory multimorbidity (0.3%). 【Conclusion】 More than one in ten adults in Shaanxi Province had multimorbidity, and the predominant pattern of multimorbidity was cardiovascular-metabolic multimorbidity. The prevention and control of non-communicable diseases should be reinforced in middle-aged and older people, males, people living in the urban, and overweight or obese people. More attention should be paid to the prevention and control of cardiovascular-metabolic diseases.

【Objective】 To evaluate the dietary quality with the dietary balance index (DBI_16) and the association between dietary quality and bone mass among middle-aged and elderly people in Gansu Province so as to provide evidence for improving dietary quality and bone health status of Gansu population. 【Methods】 Based on the information of the type and quantity of food intake and the bone mass of middle-aged and elderly people aged 35 years and above collected by the Gansu Project in the Regional Ethnic Cohort Study in Northwest China, DBI_16 was used to evaluate the intake level of cereals, vegetables, fruits, milk, beans, fish and shrimp, eggs and other foods, and the degree of inadequate, excessive and unbalanced dietary intake of the participants. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the associations of three component indexes of DBI_16, high bound score (DBI_HBS), low bound score (DBI_LBS), diet quality distance (DBI_DQD), and seven single indexes of DBI_16 with bone mass. 【Results】 Analyses of the dietary and bone mass data of 11,840 participants showed that 44.8% of participants consumed excessive amounts of cereals compared to the dietary recommendation. 96.3%, 90.6%, 90.1%, 71.9%, 95.1% and 60.3% of participants’ intake of vegetables, fruits, milk, soybeans, fish and shrimp, and eggs, respectively, were inadequate. 47.7% participants consumed less than 10 types of food. 2.3% participants’ DBI_LBS levels were appropriate. 54.7% participants’ DBI_HBS levels were appropriate. Only 1.2% participants’ DBI_DQD reached a balanced level. The bone mass level in the study population was (2.5±0.6) kg [(2.8±0.5) kg for men and (2.3±0.5) kg for women]. After adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, total dietary energy intake and body mass index, DBI_LBS and DBI_DQD were negatively associated with bone mass [β and 95% CI was -0.002 01 (-0.003 62--0.000 40) and -0.001 76 (-0.003 09--0.000 43), respectively]. 【Conclusion】 Dietary intake imbalance is common among middle-aged and elderly people in Gansu Province, and the more severe the dietary intake imbalance, the lower the bone mass level.
