Objective To investigate the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum(LP)on intestinal flora and bacterial translocation in mice with spontaneous inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). Methods Interleukin 10 knockout mice(IL-10~(-/-))were used as models of IBD.Eight-week old female mice were randomized to control group, IL-10~(-/-)group and IL-10~(-/-)+LP group.IL-10~(-/-)+LP group received 0.5 mL LP(1.0×10~9CFU/mL)per day for 4 weeks,and the other groups received 0.5 mL Ringer buffer.Intestinal flora including Bifidobacteria,Lactobacilli,Enterobacteriaceae and Clostridium perfringens in the feces and bacterial translocation in mesenteric lymph nodes and spleens were detected. Results The contents of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli significantly decreased in the intestine of IL-10~(-/-)mice,while those of Enterobacteriaceae and Clostridium perfringens significantly increased,and the bacterial translocation significantly increased.Four weeks after LP treatment, the disturbed intestinal flora was restored, and the bacterial translocation decreased. Conclusion LP administration can modulate the imbalance of intestinal flora and decrease the bacterial translocation,thus enhance intestinal barrier function in mice with IBD.

Objective:To establish an evaluation index system of hospital culture construction led by Party building in public hospitals, and to explore the relationships among Party building, hospital culture and patient satisfaction, and explain the mediating effect of hospital culture between Party building and patient satisfaction.Methods:Literature review and two rounds of Delphi method were used to create an evaluation index system of hospital culture construction led by Party building in public hospitals. On such basis, a questionnaire was designed and 429 staff from 33 public hospitals in Shanghai were surveyed through April and June 2021. Cronbach α coefficient method and exploratory factor analysis were used to test the reliability and validity of the indexes, and the regression analysis method was used to verify the mediating effects. Results:Following two rounds of Delphi survey run by 14 experts, a performance evaluation index system for the hospital culture construction was constructed, comprising 5 level-1, 13 level-2 and 29 level-3 indexes. The Cronbach α coefficients of overall indexes and 5 level-1 indexes fell in the range of 0.860-0.901( P<0.01), and the retest reliability of overall index and 5 level-1 indexes fell between 0.91-0.93( P<0.01). Based on the exploratory factor analysis, all of the characteristic roots of the factors generated by orthogonal rotation were>1, and the total variance explained contribution rate was 56.84%, proving the good validity of the indexes. The effect of Party building on patient satisfaction was significant( β1=0.139, P<0.01), and that on hospital culture effect significant as well( β2=0.168, P<0.01), while that on patient satisfaction was also significant( β3=0.115, δ=0.448, P<0.01)with hospital culture effect introduced as the mediating effect. Conclusions:The evaluation index system of hospital culture construction led by Party building proves highly scientific and effective, and hospital culture plays to some extent a mediating role between Party building and patient satisfaction. This proves that Party building presents a significant transmission effect on patient satisfaction through hospital culture building. The study provides a reference for strengthening Party building and hospital culture construction and improving patient satisfaction in public hospitals.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy and safety of microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of autonomous functional thyroid nodules(AFTN) . Methods Sixty-seven nodules of 53 AFTN patients who refused or were not suitable for surgical resection and 131I therapy were enrolled in the study . All the nodules were evaluated by ultrasound ,color Doppler flow imaging ( CDFI) and contrast enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) ,and all of them were benign and confirmed by pathology . And then ,percutaneous MWA was performed . Fluid isolation and mobile ablation were used to completely inactivate the nodules ,and CEUS was used to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment . The following items included thyroid hormone level ,nodule volume ,nodular blood supply ,thyroid radionuclide imaging ,conscious symptom ,beauty score and complication . Finally ,the factors influencing the curative effect were analyzed . Results The follow-up period was at least 12 months . Compared with before treatment ,the differences of thyroid hormone level , the volume of nodules ,the nodule blood supply were statistically significant ( P < 0 .01) . The 61 hot nodules" changed to cold or warm nodules" . The differences between the improvement ratio of conscious symptoms and beauty scores were statistically significant( P < 0 .05) . The cure ratio in this study was 81 .13% ,and the incidence of complications was 11 .32% ,and the recurrence ratio was 4 .48% . The nodule volume≥14 .04 ml or in a dangerous position were the main factors affecting the curative effect . Conclusions MWA can inactivate the AFTN in situ ,make it lose the secretory function and reduce the volume of nodules . Therefore ,percutaneous MWA guided by ultrasound and CEUS treatment of AFTN can be regarded as another safe and effective treatment besides surgical resection or 131I therapy .
