Objective:To analyze the present status and problems for management services in a public hospital, and explore the strategies to enhance the performance of hospital management services drawing on the experience of the reforms to streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services in the public service sector.Methods:In June 2023, a convenience sampling method was employed to select staff from all clinical departments, medical technology departments, and administrative units within a tertiary public hospital as survey participants. An anonymous online questionnaire was conducted to assess overall satisfaction with hospital management services, satisfaction with the " one-stop" service windows, satisfaction with individual administrative departments, and to gather suggestions for improving hospital management services. The Likert 5-level scoring method was used to evaluate the satisfaction. Suggestions and opinions were categorized and analyzed based on the three dimensions of the reforms to streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services.Results:A total of 962 valid questionnaires were collected. The overall satisfaction score for hospital management service was 4.40±0.89 points, with interdepartmental collaboration scoring the lowest score at 4.26±0.99 points. Information management, outpatient services, and research management processes were identified as areas requiring optimization, each mentioned over 100 times. Excessive and overly frequent inspection and evaluations, as well as documentation requirements were the most prominent manifestations of formalism and bureaucracy within administrative units. The average satisfaction score for the " one-stop" service windows was 4.59±0.68 points, and unclear service guidelines/processes and incomplete information provided by window staff were the primary causes of multiple return visits. The average satisfaction score of 32 administrative units was 4.53±0.09 points. A total of 322 valid suggestions were collected, with 13.35% concerning " streamline administration and delegate power", 28.58% addressing " improve regulation", and 58.07% focused on " upgrade services" .Conclusions:Staff at the hospital expressed overall satisfaction with the institution′s management services, but noted areas for improvement in departmental coordination, management of operational processes, and the implementation of the " one-stop service" initiative, and so on. Hospitals should optimize the following aspects: improving " upgrade services" as the primary task and important approach, focusing on building a service-oriented management culture; adhering to the " improve regulation", establishing and improving the modern hospital management system; deepening the " streamline administration and delegate power", transforming management styles and simplifying approval interventions.

Myelin formation is considered the last true "invention" in the evolution of vertebrate nervous system cell structure. The rapid jumping pulse propagation achieved by myelin enables the high conduction speed that is the basis of human movement, sensation, and cognitive function. As a key structure in the brain, white matter is the gathering place of myelin. However, with age, white matter-associated functions become abnormal and a large number of myelin sheaths undergo degenerative changes, causing serious neurological and cognitive disorders. Despite the extensive time and effort invested in exploring myelination and its functions, numerous unresolved issues and challenges persist. In-depth exploration of the functional role of myelin may bring new inspiration for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases and even mental illnesses. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive examination of the structure and key molecules of the myelin in the CNS, delving into its formation process. Specifically, we propose a new hypothesis regarding the source of power for myelin expansion in which membrane compaction may serve as a driving force for myelin extension. The implications of this hypothesis could provide valuable insights into the pathophysiology of diseases involving myelin malfunction and open new avenues for therapeutic intervention in myelin-related disorders.

In recent years, the incidence of dry eye disease(DED)is increasing, positioning it as one of the most prevalent diseases affecting the ocular surface. Inflammatory response is the pathological basis of DED, involving various inflammatory mediators and inflammatory signaling pathways. Consequently, anti-inflammatory treatment emerges as a fundamental strategy for preventing and managing DED. This review summarizes the classic inflammatory factors involved in the development and progression of DED, including interleukins, tumor necrosis factor, matrix metalloproteinases, chemokines, and cell adhesion molecules. It also discusses the relevant inflammatory signaling pathways: the MAPKs pathway, NF-κB pathway, Wnt pathway and TLR pathway. Additionally, this review addresses the mechanisms of action and alterations in relevant biomarkers associated with current first-line recommended anti-inflammatory therapies, including corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and traditional Chinese medicine approaches to inflammation management. This comprehensive overview aims to enhance understanding of the inflammatory mechanisms underlying DED while exploring future therapeutic prospects.

AIM: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of defocus incorporated multiple segments(DIMS)on myopia in adolescents, and provide a theoretical basis for clinical application.METHODS:Retrospective study. A total of 560 myopic children(560 eyes)aged 8-13 years who were admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected as research subjects, of whom 180 cases(180 eyes)were enrolled in the DIMS group. The orthokeratology(OK lens)group consisted of 182 patients(182 eyes), and the single vision(SV)group consisted of 198 patients(198 eyes). The changes of the spherical equivalent and axial length in the three groups were observed after 1 and 2 a respectively. The myopia degree(group A: spherical equivalent ≥-3.00 D and group B: -6.00 D≤ spherical equivalent <-3.00 D), and age(group Ⅰ: 8-10 years old and group Ⅱ: 11-13 years old)were grouped to further analyze the effect of myopia degree and age on treatment effect.RESULTS: At 1 and 2 a after wearing lenses, the spherical equivalent in the DIMS and SV groups was statistically significant(all P<0.05); there was statistical significance in the axial length among the DIMS, OK and SV groups(F=21.791, 3.576, all P<0.05). At 1 and 2 a after wearing lenses, there was statistical significance in the changes of spherical equivalent in both the DIMS and SV groups of the groups A and B(all P<0.05); and there was statistical significance in axial length growth of the DIMS, OK and SV groups(all P<0.05). At 1 and 2 a after wearing lenses, there was statistical significance in the changes of spherical equivalent in the DIMS and SV groups of the groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ(all P<0.01); in the group Ⅰ, there was statistical significance in the comparison of axial length growth in the DIMS, OK and SV groups(all P<0.05); in the group Ⅱ, there was no statistical significance in the changes of axial length in the DIMS and OK groups. The efficacy of DIMS and OK in the prevention and treatment of myopia was comparable, and the myopia progression was delayed, and the efficacy was enhanced in those older adolescents wearing DIMS.CONCLUSION: Compared with SV lens, DIMS and OK lenses effectively slow down the myopia progression in adolescents. The overall myopia control effect of DIMS is slightly inferior to that of OK lens. However, with the increase of age and the degree of refractive error, the delaying effect of DIMS on myopia progression is enhanced.

Uncontrolled hypertension in the perioperative period may affect the hemodynamic stability of patients during surgery and thus affect the prognosis of patients.This increases the risk of other complications and death.For hypertensive patients undergoing surgery,it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons,and choose appropriate antihypertensive drugs to reduce the incidence of perioperative adverse events.There is no unified conclusion on perioperative blood pressure management in China.This paper systematically reviewed the perioperative blood pressure control objectives and drug use programs,including non-cardiac surgery,cardiac surgery,pregnancy,and pheochromocytoma.It provided a reference for the perioperative management of hypertensive patients.

Polymyxins are the first-line drugs used in multidrug resistance(MDR)Gram-negative infections.Polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity is the major dose-limiting factor hindering its clinical use.It has been suggested that the mechanism of polymyxin-associated nephrotoxicity is related to its accumulation in the kidney upon extensive reabsorption from renal proximal tubular cells,and one or more renal transporters may mediate the process that polymyxins enter the renal tubular cells across cytomembrane.This review aimed to describe the roles of renal transporters in polymyxins reabsorption into the renal tubular cells and provide reference for reducing the nephrotoxicity of polymyxin.

【Objective】 To explore the effects of breastfeeding on the immune response of CD4⁺T lymphocytes in infants in non-inflammatory state, and to analyze the immunomodulatory significance of the whole composition of breast milk. 【Methods】 A retrospective cohort study was conducted. From January to September 2022, six-month-old infants who took physical examination in the Child Healthcare Department of Changzhou Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University, were selected based on inclusion criteria, and were divided into breastfeeding group (n=33) and formula feeding group (n=27) based on their feeding patterns. Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentage of CD4⁺ T cells, including helper T cell (Th) 1, Th2, Th17, regulatory T cell (Treg), and the levels of related cytokines interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-17 in peripheral blood. The differences in these indicators between the two groups were compared. 【Results】 Compared with the formula feeding group, the breastfeeding group showed significantly higher percentages of Th1(t=3.038), Treg (t=2.088). The ratio of Th1 to Th2(Z=2.756), IL-10(Z=2.297) and IFN-γ (Z=2.076) in the peripheral blood of the breastfeeding group were also significantly higher. Conversely, the breastfeeding group had significantly lower percentage of Th17(Z=2.704) and IL-17A (t=2.187) (P<0.05). There was no significant difference the percentage of Th2, as well as in the levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-6 and TNF-α between the two groups (P>0.05). 【Conclusions】 Breastfeeding has a regulatory effect on the immune response of infant CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. It promotes the development of Th1/Th2 towards Th1 and the immunomodulatory effect of Treg. Moreover, it inhibits the Th17 type immune response. These findings suggest that the complete composition of breast milk contributes to the development and maturation of infant immune system, enhancing immune defense and immune tolerance.
