Objective Starting from the actual numbers of health personnel of tertiary public hospitals of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),to quantitatively analyze the influencing factors on the allocation of human resources and obtain a prediction model.Methods The balanced panel data from 517 Tertiary Public TCM Hospitals in the period of 2011-2020 were collected,and the two-way fixed effects model was used to empirically analyze the impact of scale,demand and other factors on the actual number of health personnel in these hospitals.Result The number of beds is a key factor affecting the human resource allocation of Public TCM Hospitals,and various factors such as de-mand,policy,price,efficiency,and administrative management also have significant impacts on the allocation.The demand for outpatient services,government financial support,and efficiency of resource utilization are all promoting factors,while the increase in human resource prices,income generation efficiency,and administrative manage-ment levels have negative effects.A prediction model is proposed.Conclusion The planning principle of matching bed numbers with human resources allocation is in line with the actual environment.When predicting the total personnel allocation or authorized strength,various factors should also be fully considered,which can provide reference for the formulation of human resource policies in Public TCM Hospitals.

Important anatomical structures such as mandibular incisive canal,tongue foramen,and mouth floor vessels may be damaged during implant surgery in the mandibular anterior region,which may lead to mouth floor hematoma,asphyxia,pain,paresthesia and other symptoms.In severe cases,this can be life-threatening.The insufficient alveolar bone space and the anatomical variation of blood vessels and nerves in the mandibular anterior region increase the risk of blood vessel and nerve injury during implant surgery.In case of vascular injury,airway control and hemostasis should be performed,and in case of nerve injury,implant removal and early medical treatment should be performed.To avoid vascular and nerve injury during implant surgery in the mandibular anterior region,it is necessary to be familiar with the anatomical structure,take cone-beam computed tomography,design properly before surgery,and use digital technology during surgery to achieve accurate implant placement.This article summarizes the anatomical structure of the mandibular anterior region,discusses the prevention strategies of vascular and nerve injuries in this region,and discusses the treatment methods after the occurrence of vascular and nerve injuries,to provide clinical reference.

The canalis sinuosus,a canal containing the anterior superior alveolar nerve bundle,originates from the infraorbital canal and extends along the maxillary sinus and nasal cavity edges to the anterior maxilla.It was once regarded as an anatomical variation.However,with the widespread application of cone beam computed tomography(CBCT),the detection rate of canalis sinuosus in the population has increased.The canalis sinuosus exhibits diverse courses,branching into multiple accessory canals and terminating at the nasal floor or the anterior tooth region,with the majority traversing the palatal side of the central incisor.The anterior superior alveolar nerve bundle within the canalis sinuosus not only innervates and nourishes the maxillary anterior teeth and the corresponding soft tissues,and the maxillary sinus mucosa,but also relates to the nasal septum,lateral nasal wall,and parts of the palatal mucosa.To minimize surgical complications,strategies for preventing and treating canalis sinuosus injuries need to be investigated.Preoperatively,CBCT is used to identify the canalis sinuosus and to virtually design implant placement at a distance of more than 2 mm from the canalis sinuosus.Intraoperatively,assessing bleeding and patient comfort,complemented by precision surgical techniques such as the use of implant surgical guide plates.Postoperatively,CBCT is used to examine the relationship between the implant and the canalis sinuosus,and treatment of canalis sinuosus injuries can be tailored based on the patient's symptoms.This review summarizes the detection of canalis sinuosus in the population,its anatomical characteristics,and the physiological functions in the anterior maxilla,and discusses strategies for avoiding canalis sinuosus injuries during implant surgery,thereby enhancing clinical awareness and providing references for clinical decision-making.
