Objective Based on the social background of digital development,the application value of Internet+medi-cal records copying and mailing is analyzed and summarized from the three levels of medical institutions,Internet companies and express delivery service companies.Methods Through literature research method,logical analysis method and other methods,the traditional copying method of medical record copying in a public hospital is logically analyzed,so as to obtain a more efficient Internet+medical record copying mode.Results The application of the Internet has a convenient,standardized and cost-saving effect on the copying of medical records,optimizes the service process,and improves the working efficiency of the medical record room.Conclusion The high-quality development of a public hospital needs to establish the patient privacy protection mechanism,play the Internet,establish the reliable database,play the sharing role of the Internet and establish the integration mechanism.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of third lumbar skeletal muscle mass index (L3-SMI) in predicting the long-term prognosis of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and to provide a useful tool for prognostic scoring of ACLF patients. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the data of 126 patients who underwent abdominal computed tomography (CT) scanning and were diagnosed with ACLF in Shanxi Bethune Hospital from December 2017 to December 2021, including clinical indicators, biochemical parameters, and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, and L3-SMI was calculated. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the diagnostic value of L3-SMI and other variables (MELD score and Child-Pugh score), and the DeLong test was used for comparison of the area under the ROC curve (AUC). ResultsAmong the 126 patients enrolled, 44 (35%) died within 2 years and 82 (65%) survived. Compared with the survival group, the death group had significantly higher age, incidence rate of ascites, international normalized ratio, MELD score, and Child-Pugh score (all P<0.05) and a significantly lower value of L3-SMI [38.40 (35.95 — 46.29) cm²/m² vs 44.19 (40.20 — 48.58) cm²/m², Z=-2.855, P=0.004]. L3-SMI had an AUC of 0.720 in predicting 2-year mortality in ACLF patients, with a sensitivity of 63.6% and a specificity of 80.5%, and a combination of L3-SMI, MELD score, and Child-Pugh score had a significantly better AUC than a combination of MELD score and Child-Pugh score in predicting 2-year mortality (0.809 vs 0.757, Z=2.015, P<0.05). ConclusionL3-SMI has a high predictive value for the prognosis of ACLF patients, and the combination of L3-SMI、MELD score and Child-Pugh score has a higher predictive value for ACLF patients, and the inclusion of L3-SMI or sarcopenia in the conventional prognostic scores of ACLF patients may increase the ability to predict disease progression.

Although somatic cells can be reprogrammed to pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) with pure chemicals, authentic pluripotency of chemically induced pluripotent stem cells (CiPSCs) has never been achieved through tetraploid complementation assay. Spontaneous reprogramming of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) was another non-transgenic way to obtain PSCs, but this process lacks mechanistic explanation. Here, we reconstructed the trajectory of mouse SSC reprogramming and developed a five-chemical combination, boosting the reprogramming efficiency by nearly 80- to 100-folds. More importantly, chemical induced germline-derived PSCs (5C-gPSCs), but not gPSCs and chemical induced pluripotent stem cells, had authentic pluripotency, as determined by tetraploid complementation. Mechanistically, SSCs traversed through an inverted pathway of in vivo germ cell development, exhibiting the expression signatures and DNA methylation dynamics from spermatogonia to primordial germ cells and further to epiblasts. Besides, SSC-specific imprinting control regions switched from biallelic methylated states to monoallelic methylated states by imprinting demethylation and then re-methylation on one of the two alleles in 5C-gPSCs, which was apparently distinct with the imprinting reprogramming in vivo as DNA methylation simultaneously occurred on both alleles. Our work sheds light on the unique regulatory network underpinning SSC reprogramming, providing insights to understand generic mechanisms for cell-fate decision and epigenetic-related disorders in regenerative medicine.
