Brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Brucella infection. So far, animal to animal Brucellosis has not been eradicated, and there is a lack of safe and effective human vaccine. Therefore, "early, combined, sufficient, and full course" drug treatment remains an important strategy in the management of human Brucellosis. The goal of treating brucellosis is to alleviate and shorten the symptom period, reduce complications, relapses, and chronicity. At present, although antibiotic treatment is effective for most patients, there are still some patients who experience treatment failure or later recurrence, so the treatment strategy for brucellosis urgently needs to be optimized. This article elaborates on the treatment principles, clinical treatment status, and future development trends of brucellosis, in order to provide references for optimizing drug treatment methods for brucellosis.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of medical equipment allocation in 103 tertiary public hospitals,analyze and compare the proportion of medical equipment in different regional hospitals in our country,and provide basis for scientific and reasonable allocation of medical equipment.Methods:A questionnaire was designed by literature research and expert consultation,and an electronic questionnaire was released through the public account of"China Medical Equipment"and the platform of"Good Medical Workers"to analyze the correlation between the number of medical equipment configuration,the proportion of domestic products,the region where the hospital was located and the number of hospital beds.Results:A total of 103 valid questionnaires were collected,involving 103 tertiary public hospitals in East China,North China,Central China,South China,Southwest,Northwest and Northeast China,of which 18%were in North China,37%were in East China and 9%were in South China.In North China,South China and East China,the average number of medical equipment in the tertiary public hospitals in the region was 9785 units per hospital,9245 units per hospital and 8153 units per hospital,and the number of the expensive equipment was relatively small,which had no correlation with the number of beds.There were statistically significant differences between North China and East China in the number of beds,the number of pieces of equipment per 100 beds and the amount of equipment per 100 beds(t=-2.582,2.939,4.653,P＜0.05).The number of life support equipment configuration was significantly positively correlated with the number of beds,and the domestic share,especially the domestic share of life support equipment,increased.Conclusion:The analysis of medical equipment allocation in public hospitals in China can provide data support for hospitals to better adapt to the adjustment of the new expensive medical equipment catalogue,provide reference for the demonstration and promotion of large medical equipment allocation and localization in tertiary hospitals,and provide reference for relevant health management departments.

Objective:To understand the impact of diet on glycemic control in community-managed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and provide evidence for implementing prevention strategies and measures for diabetes patients.Methods:Eight communities were randomly selected from Changshu and Wuhan in 2015, and T2DM patients managed in the community were selected to conduct questionnaire surveys, physical measurements, and blood glucose testing. Factor analysis was used to obtain dietary patterns. A binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting glycemic control.Results:Finally, 1 818 T2DM patients were included, and the control rate of FPG was 57.59% (95% CI: 55.30%-59.86%), and the control rate of 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG) was 24.90% (95% CI: 22.93%- 26.91%). Five dietary patterns were obtained by factor analysis: animal food pattern, fruit-aquatic products-potato patterns, vegetable-grain pattern, egg-milk-bean pattern, and oil-salt patterns. No-conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, the reduced probability of FPG control was related to animal food pattern ( OR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.52-0.98) and fruit-aquatic products-potato patterns ( OR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.51-0.97). The decrease in the 2 h PBG control probability was related to fruit-aquatic products-potato patterns ( OR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.40-0.90). The increased probability of FPG and 2 h postprandial glucose control were both related to vegetable-grain pattern ( OR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.03-1.94; OR=1.68, 95% CI: 1.13-2.51) and egg-milk-bean pattern ( OR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.25-2.46; OR=1.56, 95% CI: 1.00-2.42). Compared with the Q4 group of egg-milk-bean pattern, the FPG control rate of the combination of "fruit-aquatic products-potato pattern ( Q4 group), vegetable-grain pattern ( Q2 group), egg-milk-bean pattern ( Q3 group)" was higher ( OR=6.79, 95% CI: 1.15-40.23, P=0.035). Compared with the Q4 group of vegetable-grain pattern, the combination of "fruit-aquatic products-potato pattern ( Q4 group), vegetable-grain pattern ( Q3 group), egg-milk-bean pattern ( Q2 group), oil-salt pattern ( Q2 group)" had higher control rate of 2 h PBG ( OR=12.78, 95% CI: 1.26-130.05, P=0.031). Conclusions:A proper combination of dietary patterns and dietary patterns are more conducive to the control of FPG and 2 h PBG in T2DM patients managed in the communities of Wuhan and Changshu. Patient nutrition education should be strengthened, and the food-matching ability of patients should be improved.

Objective To sinicize the long and short forms of the English version of the visually induced mo-tion sickness susceptibility questionnaire(VIMSSQ)and to test the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the questionnaire among college students.Methods The Chinese version of the VIMSSQ was sinicized using Brislin's translation model,the translated scale was cross-culturally adapted through expert consultation.At last,the Chinese version of the questionnaire survey was conducted among 757 college students,and 80 college students were selected to fill out the simulator sickness questionnaire(SSQ)at the same time to do a correlation analysis in order to verify the predictive efficacy of the scale,and the reliability and validity results of the scale were analyzed to form the Chinese version of the VIMSSQ.Results The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the long form question-naire was 0.94,and the alpha coefficients of the five factors were 0.85,0.85,0.85,0.84,and 0.83 respectively.The total retest reliability was 0.79,and the retest reliabilities of the five factors were 0.73,0.77,0.76,0.66,and 0.62 respectively.The split-half reliability was 0.84.The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the short form ques-tionnaire was 0.83,and the retest reliability was 0.81,and the split-half reliability was 0.77.The item-level con-tent validity index(I-CVI)for the long and short forms and the average scale-level content validity(scale-level con-tent validity index/average,S-CVI/Ave)were both 1.VIMSSQ scores for both the long and short forms were sig-nificantly correlated with the SSQ,with r=0.76(P＜0.001)between the long form and the SSQ,and with r=0.77(P＜0.001)between the short form and the SSQ.Conclusion The Chinese version of the VIMSSQ has good reliability and validity among college students,and can be used as a measurement tool to evaluate college students'susceptibility to visually induced motion sickness.

Objective:To investigate the correlation factors of complete clinical response in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies(IIMs)patients receiving conventional treatment.Methods:Patients diagnosed with IIMs hospitalized in Peking University People's Hospital from January 2000 to June 2023 were in-cluded.The correlation factors of complete clinical response to conventional treatment were identified by analyzing the clinical characteristics,laboratory features,peripheral blood lymphocytes,immunological indicators,and therapeutic drugs.Results:Among the 635 patients included,518 patients finished the follow-up,with an average time of 36.8 months.The total complete clinical response rate of IIMs was 50.0％(259/518).The complete clinical response rate of dermatomyositis(DM),anti-synthetase syn-drome(ASS)and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy(IMNM)were 53.5％,48.9％and 39.0％,respectively.Fever(P=0.002)and rapid progressive interstitial lung disease(RP-ILD)(P=0.014)were observed much more frequently in non-complete clinical response group than in complete clinical re-sponse group.The aspartate transaminase(AST),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),D-dimer,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C-reaction protein(CRP)and serum ferritin were significantly higher in non-complete clinical response group as compared with complete clinical response group.As for the treat-ment,the percentage of glucocorticoid received and intravenous immunoglobin(IVIG)were significantly higher in non-complete clinical response group than in complete clinical response group.Risk factor analysis showed that IMNM subtype(P=0.007),interstitial lung disease(ILD)(P=0.001),eleva-ted AST(P=0.012),elevated serum ferritin(P=0.016)and decreased count of CD4+T cells in peripheral blood(P=0.004)might be the risk factors for IIMs non-complete clinical response.Conclu-sion:The total complete clinical response rate of IIMs is low,especially for IMNM subtype.More effec-tive intervention should be administered to patients with ILD,elevated AST,elevated serum ferritin or decreased count of CD4+T cells at disease onset.

Objective To observe the feasibility and effectiveness of fluoroscopy-guided Fustar adjustable bent sheath clamp biopsy for diagnosing obstructive esophageal diseases.Methods Totally 29 patients with esophageal or esophagogastric junction obstruction who failed to complete endoscopic biopsy were retrospectively analyzed.Real-time fluoroscopy-guided clamp biopsy of lesion areas were performed through 10F Fustar adjustable bent sheath under local anesthesia.The technical success rate,operation time,radiation dose were recorded,and the complications were evaluated.Results Clamp biopsy of lesion areas were successfully performed in all 29 cases,with technical success rate of 100%(29/29),the average operation time of(29.81±10.05)min and the average radiation dose of(127.14±100.36)mGy.No serious complication such as esophageal perforation nor massive bleeding occurred.After biopsy,22 cases(22/29,75.86%)were preliminarily diagnosed as positive,among them 2 cases underwent surgical operation,and the postoperative pathological results were consistent with biopsy.Negative biopsy results were found in 7 cases(7/29,24.14%),among them 2 cases underwent clamp biopsy again 3 months later which showed positive results.Conclusion Fustar adjustable bent sheath clamp biopsy was feasible and effective for diagnosing obstructive esophageal diseases,which could be regarded as the substitution and supplementation of endoscopic clamp biopsy.

Objective:To explore the value of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) sequence and pathological examination in predicting the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in advanced breast cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 65 cases of advanced breast cancer with NAC confirmed by pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from March 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 20 cases in the pathological complete remission (pCR) group and 45 cases in the non pCR group; All patients underwent routine MRI, DWI, DKI examinations and pathological analysis. The clinical pathological data, routine MRI features, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, mean kurtosis coefficient (MK), and mean diffusion coefficient (MD) between the two groups were analyzed; We compared the differences in various parameters between two groups and plotted receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to compare their diagnostic efficacy of NAC in breast cancer.Results:There were significant differences in molecular typing, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) and Ki-67 between pCR group and non pCR group (all P<0.05). In pCR group, Her-2 overexpression type and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) type breast cancer were more common. ER and PR were mostly negative, Her-2 was mostly positive, and Ki 67 was mainly positive. The difference in tumor T2WI signal between the pCR group and the non pCR group was statistically significant ( P<0.05), with the pCR group showing mostly moderate/low T2WI signal. The ADC and MD values of the pCR group were lower than those of the non pCR group, while the MK value of the pCR group was higher than that of the non pCR group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting the efficacy of NAC using a clinical pathological model was 0.829, which was higher than the AUC of molecular subtypes, ER, PR, Her-2, and Ki-67 ( Z=3.008, 2.697, 2.815, 2.131, 2.376, all P<0.05); The AUC of the DKI+ DWI predicting the efficacy of NAC was 0.934, which was higher than that of the DWI single sequence model, and the difference in type was statistically significant ( Z=2.396, P=0.017). The diagnostic efficacy of the DKI+ DWI model was higher than that of the single parameter ADC, MD, and MK, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=2.396, 2.219, 2.161, all P<0.05); The AUC of the combined imaging and pathology model was 0.983, and its diagnostic efficacy was higher than that of the conventional MRI feature model, pathology model, DWI model, and DKI model, with statistically significant differences ( Z=5.877, 2.961, 3.240, 2.264, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The results of pathology, conventional MRI, DWI and DKI parameters of pCR and non pCR breast cancer patients are significantly different, and the combined model is better than the single model in predicting the efficacy of NAC.

Objective:To investigate the current situation and organizational management policies of government procurement in public hospitals,and to improve the level of standardized management of government procurement.Methods:An electronic questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the current status of organization and administration of government procurement in different types and levels of public hospitals across the country.The current situation of the organizational structure,management system,working mode,supervision and evaluation,budget establishment,bidding and procurement,contract signing,acceptance process,payment management,and other aspects of government procurement management in public hospitals were analyzed.Results:A total of 216 valid questionnaires were collected from 216 public hospitals in 28 provinces,municipalities and autonomous regions across the country,including 165 general hospitals,37 specialized hospitals and 13 traditional Chinese medicine hospitals,accounting for 76.39％,17.13％and 6.02％respectively;among the hospital levels,there were 202 tertiary hospitals(accounting for 93.52％).Among the surveyed government procurement management institutions of public hospitals,there were 112,103,110 and 112 organizations at the four levels of procurement management committee,procurement management office,procurement center and business and administrative logistics department,accounting for 51.85％,47.69％,50.93％and 51.85％respectively.The quota standards for public bidding for government procurement in all hospitals were in line with the requirements of national laws and regulations.The approval of funds payment must conditions of each hospital complied with relevant requirements.In terms of management effects of risk prevention and control,the hospitals with very good,good,average and inadequate were 48,125,34 and 9 respectively,accounting for 22.22％,57.87％,15.74％and 4.17％.Conclusion:The organizational framework and management system of government procurement in public hospitals are becoming increasingly standardized,and there are certain differences in the work mode and process of government procurement in different hospitals,and the supervision and evaluation are relatively weak,which is worthy of attention and strengthened administration.

Background: The traditional bowel preparation compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder (PEG) has poor tolerance in some patients due to the need for a large amount of water, which has a limited cleaning effect and affects the visual field of observation. Therefore, it is of clinical significance to find a bowel cleaning method with strong cleaning power, high safety and is acceptable to most of the patients. Aims: To explore the efficacy and safety of PEG combined with linaclotide in bowel preparation. Methods: A total of 414 patients were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (3 L PEG group), observation group A (3 L PEG+290 μg linaclotide), observation group B (2 L PEG+290 μg linaclotide). The primary outcome was the efficacy of bowel preparation based on the Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS), the secondary outcomes were withdrawal time, time interval from preparation to colonoscopy, incidence of complications, cecal insertion rate, detection rates of polyps, adenoma, hemorrhoid and other diseases. BBPS score in constipation subgroup was analyzed. Results: The appropriate bowel preparation rate, BBPS score, and detection rates of polyps and hemorrhoid in observation group A were significantly higher than those in control group and observation group B (P<0.05), and no significant differences in above⁃mentioned indices were found between observation group B and control group (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in cecal insertion rate, incomplete colonoscopy rate, detection rates of adenoma and other diseases, withdrawal time, time interval from preparation to colonoscopy, and incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups (P>0.05). BBPS score in constipation patients in observation group A was significantly higher than that in observation group B and control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Linaclotide is safe and effective as an adjuvant for bowel preparation. 3 L PEG combined with linaclotide can improve the quality of bowel cleaning.

Objective:To evaluate the value of CT for differentiating gastric leiomyoma (GLM) from gastric schwannoma (GS).Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 42 patients with GLM (GLM group) and 41 patients with GS (GS group) were analyzed retrospectively. The general information and CT features were compared between two groups. The independent factors for differentiating GLM from GS were obtained by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the model.Results:The proportion of female and age in GLM group were significantly lower than those in GS group: 59.52% (25/42) vs. 85.37% (35/41), (51.83 ± 10.52) years old vs. (58.80 ± 10.63) years old, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The upper part of the stomach rate, irregular shape rate, intraluminal growth rate, ratio of long diameter to short diameter and mild to moderate enhancement rate in GLM group were significantly higher than those in GS group: 71.43% (30/42) vs. 14.63% (6/41), 52.38% (22/42) vs. 21.95% (9/41), 92.86% (39/42) vs. 19.51% (8/41), 1.90 ± 0.55 vs. 1.34 ± 0.28 and 92.86% (39/42) vs. 51.22% (21/41), the cystic degeneration rate, ulcer rate, incidence of tumor-associated lymph node, CT values of venous phase and delayed phase in GLM group were significantly lower than those in GS group: 2.38% (1/42) vs. 26.83% (11/41), 7.14% (3/42) vs. 24.39% (10/41), 2.38% (1/42) vs. 60.98% (25/41), (59.21 ± 9.75) HU vs. (66.22 ± 10.33) HU and (65.02 ± 8.62) HU vs. (76.85 ± 11.89) HU, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05); there were no statistical difference in the rate of calcification and the CT values of plain scan and arterial phase between the two groups ( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that the tumor location, growth mode, tumor-associated lymph node and ratio of long diameter to short diameter were the independent factors for differentiating GLM from GS ( OR = 34.385, 25.314, 0.023 and 97.700; 95% CI 2.848 to 415.171, 2.674 to 239.670, 0.001 to 0.637 and 3.113 to 3 066.549; P<0.01 or <0.05); when the model threshold was >0.647, the area under the curve was 0.988 (95% CI 0.934 to 1.000), with a sensitivity of 92.9% and specificity of 97.6%. Conclusions:When the tumor is prone to the upper part of the stomach, intraluminal growth, ratio of long diameter to short diameter >1.28, and the absence of the tumor-associated lymph node, GLM tends to be considered, on the contrary, it tends to be GS. Therefore, CT imaging features have certain value in differentiating GLM from GS before surgery.
