Objective:To improve the public welfare attributes of public hospitals through the optimization of the performance ap-praisal system of public hospitals,stimulate the enthusiasm of medical staff,and continuously improve the quality and level of medi-cal services.Methods:From the perspective of value co-creation,the three-party value subjects of hospitals,patients and depart-ments are considered,and the core indicators of Diagnosis Related Group(DRG)and Resource-based Relative Value Scale(RBRVS)accounting methods are introduced to construct a performance appraisal system at the level of medical departments in public hospi-tals.Results:The sample hospital applied DRG and RBRVS-based medical department performance appraisal system,and found that the equity of performance evaluation,the efficiency of hospital operation ability,and the satisfaction of patients and medical staff were significantly improved.Conclusion:Based on the theory of value co-creation,the performance appraisal system of the case hos-pital is optimized into three dimensions:cost control assessment,KPI index assessment and workload assessment,so as to achieve consistency between performance appraisal work objectives,and the the result variables of value co-creation,promote the balance of service quality and quantity of medical service providers,and promote the optimization of the effect of hospitals,departments and pa-tients.

Constructing a scientific, standardized and reasonable dynamic adjustment model of medical service price has important reference value for the dynamic adjustment of medical service price in public hospitals. In view of the current situation at home and abroad, the authors analyzed the influencing factors of such adjustment, and constructed a dynamic adjustment model of medical service price, referring on the resource-based relative value scale theory. This model could calculate the intrinsic price of individual medical services, taking into full account the basic human resource consumption and time consumption, as well as the technical difficulty and risk degree of such services. On such basis, the economic development and price level of individual regions were integrated into the model to calculate the extrinsic price of these services. Taking the debridement(suture) service of a hospital as an example, this model was used for empirical research. It was estimated that the extrinsic price of a debridement(suture)(small) service was 54.82 yuan, that of a debridement(suture)(medium) service was 104.34 yuan, and that of a debridement(suture)(large) was 142.93 yuan. The price gap between the actual price and these estimated prices was 10.18 yuan, -26.34 yuan and -51.93 yuan respectively. This research proved that the model could be helpful to sort out the price ratio relationship and better reflect the technical labor value of medical workers.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology for a Chinese pedigree affected with Alazami syndrome. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted for 2 patients and 2 unaffected members from the pedigree. Whole exome sequencing was carried out to detect potential variant in the proband, and the result was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The proband and her sister were both found to harbor compound heterozygous variants of LARP7 gene, namely c.94A>T (p.Lys32*) and c.1141A>G (p.Lys381Glu), which were inherited from their father and mother, respectively. Both variants were predicted to be pathogenic based on bioinformatic analysis. CONCLUSION The two variants of the LARP7 gene, both were unreported previously, probably underlay the Alazami syndrome in this pedigree. Above finding has expanded the mutational spectrum of the LARP7 gene.

Objective To investigate the impacts of midazolam on the proliferation,migration and invasion of breast cancer MDA-MD-231 cells and its regulation on cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)/protein kinase A(PKA)/cAMP response element binding protein(CREB)signaling pathway.Methods MDA-MD-231 cells were cultured in vitro and grouped into control group,midazolam L group,midazolam M group,midazolam H group,and midazolam H+Sp-cAMPS group.Midazolam L group,midazolam M group,midazolam H group were treated with 5μmol/L,10μmol/L,and 20μmol/L of midazolam,respectively,midazolam H+Sp-cAMPS group was added with 20μmol/L of midazolam+10μmol/L of Sp-cAMPS 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo(-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide(MTT)assay was applied to detect cell proliferation;The migration ability was detected by cell scratch test;Transwell test was applied to determine the invasion ability of cells;Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry;The expression level of cAMP was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA);Western blot was applied to verify the expression of phosphorylated(p-)PKA/PKA,p-CREB/CREB protein.Results Compared with control group,the cells in midazolam L group,midazolam M group,midazolam H group showed apoptosis,the apoptosis rate was obviously increased,the cell proliferation,migration and invasion abilities and the expression levels of cAMP,p-PKA/PKA,p-CREB/CREB proteins were obviously decreased(P<0.05);Compared with midazolam H group,midazolam H+Sp-cAMPS group had good cell growth,obviously reduced apoptosis rate,and obviously increased cell proliferation,migration and invasion abilities,and the expression levels of cAMP,p-PKA/PKA,p-CREB/CREB proteins(P<0.05).Conclusion Midazolam may inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of breast cancer cells by inhibiting the activation of cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVETo observe the protective effect of acupuncture preconditioning at "Jiaji" (EX-B 2) on acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in the rats and explore the mechanism.

METHODSFifty Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, a Jiaji group, a Neiguan group and a Quchi group, 10 rats in each one. In the Jiaji group, the Neiguan group and the Quchi group, electroacupuncture was given for preconditioning at "Jiaji" T4~T5 (EX-B 2), "Neiguan" (PC 6) and "Quchi" (LI 11) for 7 days before modeling. In the control group and the model group, the regular feeding was given, without any acupuncture. At the end of acupuncture, except the control group, ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was adopted to duplicate MIRI models in the rest groups. Electrocardio-gram (ECG) was monitored and ST-segment shift was analyzed. HE staining method was adopted to observe the morphology of cardiac tissue in the rats of the groups. The transmission electron microscope was used to observe myocardial cell ultrastructure. WST-1 method was used to determine the activity of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), TBA method was used to determine the content of serum malondialehyde (MDA) and the real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR method to determine the expressions of Nrf 2 in ischemic myocardial tissue and downstream HO-1 gene.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, after LAD ligation, ST-segment was elevated and depressed in ECG apparently after reperfusion in the rest groups (all<0.05). The ST-segment elevation in the Jiaji group and the Neiguan group was less than that in the model group (both<0.05). Compared with the model group, SOD activity was increased apparently in the Jiaji group and the Neiguan group (both<0.05), and MDA content was reduced apparently (both<0.05). The effects in the Jiaji group were better than those in the Neiguan group (both<0.05). Pathologically, "Jiajia" (EX-B 2) and "Neiguan" (PC 6) all improved the morphology of cardiac tissue and cell ultrastructure. The effects in the Jiaji group were much more significant and the improvements in the Quchi group were not apparent. Compared with the control group, the expressions of Nrf 2 and HO-1 gene in myocardial tissue were down-regulated in the model group (both<0.05). Those were up-regulated apparently in the Jiaji group and the Neiguan group as compared with the model group (<0.05,<0.01). The up-regulation times of the expressions of Nrf 2 and HO-1 gene in the Jiajia group were the highest in comparison.

CONCLUSIONSAcupuncture preconditioning at "Jiaji" (EX-B 2) has the protective effect on cardiac ischemia and reperfusion damage, which is probably relevant with the up-regulation of Nrf 2-ARE pathway expression, the activation of endogenous anti-oxidative pathway, the improvement of oxygen free radical scavenging capacity and the alleviation of lipid peroxide damage.

Objective:To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the cognition of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods:The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases were searched for randomized controlled trials of rTMS treating MCI patients before March 2019. After screening the literature, extracting the data and two independent reviewers evaluating the quality of the included studies, the meta-analysis was conducted using version 5.3 of the RevMan software.Results:Nine studies covering 368 patients were included. The pooled results showed that compared with sham stimulation, rTMS treatment could effectively improve the cognitive ability (assessed using the Montreal instrument), episodic memory, verbal fluency and the amplitude of MCI patients′ P300 signals. P300 latency was also reduced. However, there was no significant difference, on average, in memory quotient or P300 latency between patients given rTMS plus donepezil hydrochloride and those given donepezil hydrochloride alone. Compared with the control groups, the rTMS treatment groups displayed slightly more frequent adverse reactions, mainly mild dizziness and scalp pain which disappeared within 1-2 hours without obvious residual effects.Conclusions:TMS treatment can effectively improve cognitive and memory function.

ObjectiveTo conduct on-site epidemiological investigation， emergency response， tracing of infection source and analysis of a confirmed COVID-19 case of a foreign airline cargo service staff member in Shanghai’s international airport， aiming to provide reference for prevention of imported COVID-19 cases under regular prevention and control of COVID-19. MethodsA retrospective field epidemiological investigation was conducted to collect information of basic characteristics， illness onset， diagnosis， treatment， clinical manifestations， exposure history and risk factors within 14 days before onset， close contacts， close contacts of close contacts， and key places related to activity trajectories. Respiratory tract specimens of cases and contacts were collected for detection of SARS-CoV-2 by real time RT-PCR （rRT-PCR）. Emergency response， including infection source analysis and contact management， was conducted. ResultsThe case developed pharyngeal itch on July 28， 2021， and fever on the 30th， and went to the hospital for treatment twice on the 31st. Because his specimen was positive for SARS-CoV-2 by rRT-PCR on August 1， he was isolated and treated on August 2 and diagnosed as a confirmed case of COVID-19. The case was a foreign airline cargo service member at an international airport. The two regular nucleic acid screenings of him as a high-risk occupation on July 21 and 28 were negative. He did not leave Shanghai within 14 days before the onset of illness. During July 22nd and 23rd， he was repeatedly exposed during work to the high-risk environment that may have been contaminated by SARS-CoV-2 and had contact with the crew of foreign airlines， and the personal protection was not standardized. None of the 67 close contacts and 567 close contacts of close contacts in Shanghai showed symptoms during the 14-day medical quarantine， and the specimens of them were all negative for SARS-CoV-2 by rRT-PCR. The results of genome sequencing analysis showed that the genomic homology between the virus of the case and the one of recent domestic local epidemic and the recent imported cases was low， and the homology with the overseas Delta mutant strain was higher than that of the domestic Delta mutant strain. ConclusionThe situation of prevention of COVID-19 import is still serious. It is necessary to conduct regular nucleic acid screening for high-risk occupational groups， strengthen the diagnosis and reporting awareness of medical institutions， effectively implement the prevention and control measures for people， objects， and environment at international airports， and further enhance the public's awareness of personal protection.
