The key to clinical paths administration lies in the optimization of the key processes and sectors in medical service, which will achieve an integration that is based on patients and span departments to cover all medical service sectors and processes. The clinical path practice was introduced into the hospital in 2005, and the clinical paths have been put into practice for over 20,000 cases/occasions by the end of 2009, scoring satisfactory social and economic outcomes as of now. For the purposes of speeding up the clinical path practice for expected outcomes in optimizing key medical service processes, we have got the following eight experiences and lessons: (1) Build shared demands; (2)Establish a powerful leadership; (3) Develop and promote visions; (4) Eliminate resistance and pool the forces; (5) Keep on the efforts and focus on details; (6) Reward involvements; (7) Recruit and develop key operators within the hospital; (8) Systemize and supervise the experiences of implementation.Promotion of clinical paths is a renovation in management with its inherent rules. Adoption of appropriate technical strategies and cultural strategies will upgrade the quality and acceptance of clinical path implementation.

Objective To study the cell killing effect on isolated sarcoma 180 cells by ultrasound activating Protoporphyrin IX and to explore its biological mechanism.Methods The sonodynamical effect was investigated on S180 tumor cells exposed to the combination of 120 mol/L protoporphyrin Ⅸ (PPⅨ) and focused ultrasound at the frequency of 2.2 MHz and an intensity of 3W/cm2. The livability of cells was evaluated by trypan blue staining. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation of the surface of cells was performed to evaluate the morphological changes induced by ultrasonic irradiation. The generation of oxygen free radicals in cell suspensions was immediately detected after treatment by the active oxygen detection kit. Oxidative stress was assessed by measuring the activities of key antioxidant enzymes (ie, Superoxide dismutase[SOD], Glutathione peroxidase [GSH-PX], Catalase [CAT]) in S180 cells after SDT.Results The cell damage rate of ultrasound combined with PPIX was significantly higher than that treated with ultrasound alone only, and PPIX alone had no killing effect on S180 cells. Enzymatic chemical methods showed the content of MDA significantly increased after treatment, while the activities of key antioxidant enzymes in tumor cells all decreased at different levels, and was associated to the generation of oxygen free radicals in cell suspension after treatment. Conclusion Oxygen free radical may play an important role inimproving the membrane lipid peroxidation, decreasing the activities of key antioxidant enzymes in cells, and the biological mechanism might be involved in mediating the killing effect of S180 cells in SDT.

Objective:To investigate the value of quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) in the evaluation of thrombolytic efficacy in acute cerebral infarction.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted. Ninety-four patients with acute cerebral infarction who received intravenous thrombolysis admitted to the department of emergency of Qinhuangdao First Hospital from October 2019 to September 2020 were enrolled. The relative energy values of δ, θ, α and β waves in qEEG before and 2 hours, 24 hours and 7 days after intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) thrombolysis were dynamically monitored, and the power ratio index [DTABR, DTABR = (δ+θ)/(α+β)] was calculated. The National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score was also recorded. The reduction of NIHSS score ≥ 3 or the disappearance of neurological symptoms were regarded as effective thrombolytic therapy. The changes of DTABR before and after thrombolysis in patients with effective and ineffective thrombolysis were analyzed, and the correlation between DTABR and NIHSS score was analyzed by Pearson method.Results:A total of 94 patients were enrolled, including 64 males and 30 females. The average age was (61.71±10.11) years from 36 to 89 years old. Thrombolysis was effective in 57 cases and ineffective in 37 cases. Compared with before thrombolysis, DTABR of the effective group was significantly decreased at 2 hours, 24 hours and 7 days after thrombolysis (left cerebral infarction: 1.87±1.45, 1.59±0.88, 1.58±0.90 vs. 3.82±2.60; right cerebral infarction: 1.55±0.57, 1.41±0.50, 1.35±0.44 vs. 3.20±1.63, all P < 0.05). DTABR did not change or increase significantly at 2 hours, 24 hours and 7 days after thrombolysis compared with before thrombolysis (left cerebral infarction: 3.56±2.57, 3.48±2.19, 3.54±2.50 vs. 3.11±1.62; right cerebral infarction: 5.29±3.93, 5.33±3.94, 5.19±4.52 vs. 4.73±2.43, all P > 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between DTABR and NIHSS score in patients with acute cerebral infarction (r = 0.691, P < 0.01).Conclusion:The quantitative index of qEEG, DTABR, can accurately and quickly monitor the process of thrombolysis in acute cerebral infarction, and can effectively evaluate the effect of thrombolysis in patients.
