Objective To upgrade the satisfactory degree of foreign patients by persistently improving medical treatment quality aboard hospital ship.Methods To choose 3 days and 30 foreign cases who accepted ultramarine medical treatment on hospital ship.All the cases were Pakistani or Bangladeshi.Cases were assigned into 3 kinds of queuing program and investigated the satisfactory degree using self-made questionnaire.The program of highest satisfactory degree was used in the next 3 countries.Results Analysis showed that waiting time for preliminary diagnosis,examination and total waiting time were significantly different between program C and A; waiting time for preliminary diagnosis,examination and total waiting time were significantly different between program B and A,but time for return visit increased in program B compared to that of program A.Degree of satisfaction:70.0%~76.7% for program A,73.3%~80.0% for program B,96.7%~100.0% for program C.Conclusions Program C is the best method to shorten waiting time,improve order and upgrade the satisfactory degree.This research has a significant value in the enhancement of efficiency aboard hospital ship and improvement of foreign patients' satisfactory degree.

This paper analyzed and concluded successful experience and mechanisms of regional global per capita budget implemented since 2015 in Anhui province,including the formation of mutual incentive and restraint mechanism, the mechanism of controlling expenses spontaneously and resource allocation efficiently.After the reform, flow of hospitalized patients was more rational, and the financial burden of patients was alleviated, while the capacity of medical institutions was improved notably in pilot counties.The successful experience of Anhui province can put forward corresponding suggestions to guide the future work in other areas.

In recent years, the contradiction between the construction of backward first aid system and the demand for emergency services in rural areas in China is increasingly serious. In order to further improve the quality and efficiency of first aid, the state has vigorously promoted the construction of the " Five Centers" , namely chest pain centers, stroke centers, trauma centers, critical maternal treatment centers, and critically ill children and neonatal treatment centers in rural areas, in an effort to develop an efficient rural emergency service network. The authors collected relevant policy documents and summarized practices of the " Five Centers" construction. On such basis, they referred to experiences of overseas emergency systems and medical rescue centers, and made focused analysis for on the functionality and mechanism of the " Five Centers" in building an innovative first-aid system, in terms of internal and external environment, institutional function positioning, resource integration, and operation mechanism. In view of the integration among " Five Centers" , pre-hospital emergency and in-hospital first aid in rural areas, information construction, personnel first aid capacity building and interest allocation, policy recommendations are proposed.

The aim of this study was to explore the impact of chronic apical periodontitis(CAP)on atherosclerosis in apoE-/-mice fed high-fat diet(HFD).This investigation focused on the gut microbiota,metabolites,and intestinal barrier function to uncover potential links between oral health and cardiovascular disease(CVD).In this study,CAP was shown to exacerbate atherosclerosis in HFD-fed apoE-/-mice,as evidenced by the increase in plaque size and volume in the aortic walls observed via Oil Red O staining.16S rRNA sequencing revealed significant alterations in the gut microbiota,with harmful bacterial species thriving while beneficial species declining.Metabolomic profiling indicated disruptions in lipid metabolism and primary bile acid synthesis,leading to elevated levels of taurochenodeoxycholic acid(TCDCA),taurocholic acid(TCA),and tauroursodeoxycholic acid(TDCA).These metabolic shifts may contribute to atherosclerosis development.Furthermore,impaired intestinal barrier function,characterized by reduced mucin expression and disrupted tight junction proteins,was observed.The increased intestinal permeability observed was positively correlated with the severity of atherosclerotic lesions,highlighting the importance of the intestinal barrier in cardiovascular health.In conclusion,this research underscores the intricate interplay among oral health,gut microbiota composition,metabolite profiles,and CVD incidence.These findings emphasize the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene as a potential preventive measure against cardiovascular issues,as well as the need for further investigations into the intricate mechanisms linking oral health,gut microbiota,and metabolic pathways in CVD development.
