This paper presents some ideas and practices to realize the homogeneity quality management process within the Beijing Children Hospital Group,the largest specialized medical group in the country.This research aims at providing references and thoughts on homogeneity quality management for trans-regional medical unions in the country.

Under the leadership and high-level promotion of the central and local governments, the construction of national regional medical centers(NRMCs) in China has achieved initial results, and has received recognition and high attention from all sectors of society. The current focus of NRMCs construction has progressed from the project selection to the evaluation of construction effectiveness and the establishment of corresponding operating mechanisms. On the basis of analyzing the characteristics of NRMCs construction and reviewing the evaluation of NRMCs construction at the national level, this paper systematically introduced the monitoring index system and its application of NRMCs construction in Beijing Children′s Hospital, and put forward corresponding policy suggestions. The monitoring of the construction indexes of NRMCs could provide a basis and support for hospitals to identify problems in time, seek government support, and carry out target management, and has reference for promoting the effective construction of NRMCs.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of Jiedu Huayu Tongfu prescription on intestinal homeostasis in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis with liver-gallbladder damp-heat syndrome, as well as its effect on endotoxin, inflammatory factors, and cellular immune function. Methods A total of 72 patients who attended The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from June 2019 to January 2021 and met the diagnostic and inclusion criteria were enrolled as subjects and then randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 36 patients in each group. In the treatment group, 2 patients were lost to follow-up, 2 patients were excluded, and 32 patients completed the study; in the control group, 2 patients were lost to follow-up, 1 patient was excluded, and 33 patients completed the study. In addition to the basic treatment including antiviral therapy and liver-protecting treatment, the patients in the observation group were given Jiedu Huayu Tongfu granules, and those in the control group were given oral administration of Bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets; the course of treatment was 4 weeks for both groups. The 16S rDNA sequencing technique was used for sequencing of fecal flora, and the two groups were measured in terms of the changes in liver function [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), and albumin (Alb)], endotoxin (ET), levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and T lymphocyte subsets (CD3 + T, CD4 + T, CD8 + T, and CD4 + /CD8 + ) after treatment. For normally distributed continuous data with homogeneity of variance, the paired t -test was used for comparison within each group, and the independent samples t -test was used for comparison between two groups; the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data. Results The observation group had a significantly higher overall response rate than the control group (87.5% vs 60.6%, χ 2 =-2.299, P =0.022). After treatment, both groups had significant reductions in ALT, AST, and TBil and a significant increase in Alb (all P < 0.05), and compared with the control group, the observation group had a significantly greater reduction in TBil ( Z =-2.165, P =0.030). After treatment, both groups had significant improvements in the levels of CD3 + T, CD4 + T, and CD4 + /CD8 + , and the observation group had significantly greater improvements than the control group ( Z =-2.146, -2.940, and 3.157, P =0.032, 0.003, and 0.002). After treatment, both groups had significant reductions in the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and ET, and the observation group had significantly greater reductions than the control group ( Z =-2.139, -1.982, and -2.062, P =0.032, 0.048, and 0.043). Both groups had an increase in the number of operational taxonomic units after treatment. As for the abundance of intestinal flora at the phylum level, the observation group had a significant increase in the abundance of Firmicutes and a significant reduction in the abundance of Bacteroidetes after treatment ( Z =-3.181 and -2.215, P =0.001 and 0.027); compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly greater increases in the abundance of Firmicutes and Cyanobacteria and significantly greater reductions in the abundance of Bacteroidetes, Cercozoa, and ε-Proteobacteria (all P < 0.05). At the genus level, the observation group had a significant increase in the abundance of Bifidobacterium after treatment ( Z =-2.045, P =0.041). The alpha-diversity analysis showed that the observation group had significant increases in Chao1 and Ace indices after treatment ( t =-4.263 and -3.328, P =0.001 and 0.005) and a significantly greater increase in Ace index than the control group ( t =2.292, P =0.030). The beta-diversity analysis showed that the two groups had a similar composition of flora without significant difference (all P > 0.05). Conclusion Jiedu Huayu Tongfu prescription, in combination with etiological and basic treatments, can alleviate clinical symptoms, reduce liver injury, and improve cellular immune function in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis with liver-gallbladder damp-heat syndrome. Jiedu Huayu Tongfu prescription can improve the imbalance of intestinal flora by increasing the abundance of the probiotic bacteria such as Firmicutes, Lactobacillus, and Bifidobacterium and the pathogenic bacteria such as Bacteroidetes and Cercozoa, and its effect in further improving liver and immune function may be associated with the regulation of intestinal microecology.
