Objective:To quantitatively assess the participation of social medical insurance in palliative care medical insurance payment policies in different regions of China,explore the characteristics,find the weak points,and provide a basis for subsequent policy formulation.Methods:Based on text mining and literature review,it established a Policy Modeling Consistency(PMC)index model with 9 primary indicators and 38 secondary indicators,and quantitatively evaluated the palliative care insurance payment policies from 2017 to 2024.Results:A total of 24 policies were included,and the overall PMC index was 5.65,which was an acceptable grade,including 10 good grade policies,13 acceptable grade policies,and 1 poor grade policy.Conclusion:Overall,palliative care medical insurance payment policies are good,with relatively complete provisions in terms of coverage,medical insurance payment mechanism,supervision and management.However,there are still shortcomings in terms of financing channels,policy recipients,and incentive constraints.The follow-up should focus on broadening the financing channels,expanding the scope of recipients,and improving the incentive and constraint mechanism,so as to promote the optimization and improvement of the palliative care insurance payment system.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized inhalation of recombinant human interferon (IFN) α1b injection in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in children.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled add-on design was used.Children with pneumonia or bronchiolitis aged 2 months to 5 years who tested positive for RSV antigen within 72 hours of onset from 30 clinical trial sites including Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University between February 2021 and December 2022 were included in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups at a ratio of 1∶1 based on a stratified-block method.Both groups received basic treatments such as cough control, asthma relieving, expectorant treatment, fever reduction, oxygen therapy, etc.The experimental group received additional nebulized inhalation of IFN α1b injection at a dose of 2.0 μg/(kg·time), twice a day.The control group received nebulized inhalation of placebo twice a day.Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on indicators such as the duration of clinical symptoms and signs, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the median and 95% CI of the duration of clinical symptoms and signs.The Log-rank test was used to compared data between groups.Safety was assessed through the incidence of adverse reactions and laboratory tests, and the Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results:There were 123 children in the experimental group and 122 children in the control group.The median durations of all the 5 clinical symptoms and signs [including shortness of breath, wheezing, dyspnea (visible retractions), decreased transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and abnormal mental state] in the experimental group after treatment were slightly shortened than those in the control group [2.7 d(95% CI: 1.9-3.0 d)] vs.[2.9 d(95% CI: 2.6-3.6 d), P=0.027].The improvement in dyspnea (retractions) was especially pronounced in the experimental group, with a relief rate of 50.0% (0, 100%) on the first day of administration[compared with 0 (0, 50.0%) in the control group ( Z=2.002, P=0.025)].The median duration of dyspnea in the experimental group was nearly 1 day shorter than that in the control group [1.0 d(95% CI: 0.7-1.7 d) vs.1.8 d(95% CI: 1.0-2.5 d), P=0.046].There were no significant difference in hospital stay [6.0(5.0, 8.0) d vs.6.5(5.0, 8.0) d, Z=0.675, P=0.500], oxygen therapy duration [32.0(14.0, 96.3) h vs.39.0 (24.0, 83.2) h, Z=0.094, P=0.925], the recovery rate from clinical symptoms during treatment [(105/106, 99.1%) vs.(96/101, 95.0%)], and recurrence rate [(0/106, 0) vs.(2/101, 2.0%)] between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).However, the above-mentioned four indicators in the experimental group showed a trend of clinical benefits.The quantitative virus detection results showed that the RSV viral load in both groups decreased after treatment compared to before treatment.After 2 days of treatment, the decline rate of RSV viral load from the baseline was 0.90 lg copies/(mL·d) in the experimental group and 0.25 lg copies/(mL·d)in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups ( P>0.05).Importantly, no drug-related serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusions:The nebulized inhalation therapy of IFN α1b demonstrates efficacy and safety in treating pediatric RSV associated lower respiratory tract infections.It particularly offers outstanding clinical therapeutic value for severe children.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of an opioid-sparing anesthesia strategy primarily using quadratus lumborum block combined with esketamine on early postoperative recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. From January 2023 to July 2024, 72 patients of either sex, aged 45-65 yr, with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, undergoing elective laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer with general anesthesia at Yichang Central People′s Hospital, were divided into 2 groups ( n=36 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C) and opioid-sparing anesthesia strategy group (group D). Anesthesia was induced with sufentanil and propofol and maintained with propofol and remifentanil in group C. In group D, ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block was performed before the start of anesthesia, and anesthesia was induced with esketamine, propofol and lidocaine and maintained with esketamine, propofol, low-dose remifentanil, lidocaine and magnesium sulfate. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was carried out at the end of surgery until 48 h postoperatively, using dezocine for rescue analgesia. The Quality of Recovery-15 scores were assessed and recorded at 1 day before operation and 1, 3 and 7 days after operation. Ramsay sedation scores were recorded at 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after surgery. The effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and requirement for rescue analgesia were recorded within 24 h after surgery and during the 24-48 h postoperative period. The intraoperative consumption of opioid, emergence time, duration of postanesthesia care unit stay, time to first flatus, first ambulation time and length of postoperative hospital stay were also recorded. The postoperative complications were recorded during hospital stay and assessed with the Clavien-Dindo classification. Results:Compared with group C, the Quality of Recovery-15 scores were significantly increased at each time point after operation, Ramsay sedation scores were increased at 2, 6 and 12 h after operation, the effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia and rate of rescue analgesia were decreased in each postoperative period, the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil was reduced, the time to first flatus, first ambulation time and length of postoperative hospital stay were shortened, the incidence of nausea and vomiting was decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the emergence time or duration of postanesthesia care unit stay in group D ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The opioid-sparing anesthesia strategy primarily using quadratus lumborum block combined with esketamine can raise the quality of early postoperative recovery in the patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colon cancer.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the detection rate of prenatal depression in Chinese women, so as to provide the reference for mental health care during pregnancy among women. Methods: Publications pertaining to the detection rate of prenatal depression in Chinese women were retrieved from international and national databases from inception to July 30, 2023, including CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed and other databases. The Stata 17.0 software was used for meta analysis, sensitivity analysis was performed using the leave-one-out method, and the publication bias was evaluated using funnel plot and Egger's test. Results: A total of 5 687 publications were retrieved, and 60 studies were finally included, with 58 in Chinese and 2 in English, 51 of medium quality and 9 of high quality, and 114 168 participants. The results of meta-analysis showed that the overall detection rate of prenatal depression in Chinese women was 23.7% (95%CI: 20.0%-27.5%). The detection rates of prenatal depression in the first, second and third trimesters were 22.1% (95%CI: 15.5%-28.6%), 16.3% (95%CI: 12.0%-20.6%) and 19.9% (95%CI: 16.0%-23.7%), in Eastern and Midwestern China were 19.7% and 27.5%, and in women with an education level of junior high school or below and high school or above were 27.2% and 17.9%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Sensitivity analysis showed that the study results were stable. There were publication bias in the results of overall detection rate of prenatal depression, and detection rates in the second and third trimester. Conclusions The overall detection rate of prenatal depression in Chinese women ranges from 20.0% to 27.5%. There are differences in the detection rate of prenatal depression in different pregnancies, with the highest detection rate in the first trimester.

The new-generation non-invasive prenatal screening technology (NIPT2.0) is a new method successfully realized in recent years based on high-throughput sequencing to synchronously and accurately detect fetal chromosomal aneuploidies, microdeletion/microduplication syndromes and dominantly inherited monogenic disorders. NIPT2.0 can circumvent the shortcomings of previous non-invasive prenatal screening techniques (NIPT and NIPT Plus) including incapability to detect fetal monogenic disorders, insufficient accuracy of detection and low positive predictive values for certain chromosomal abnormalities (in particular trisomy 13, sex chromosomal abnormalities, and small-segment microdeletions and microduplication syndromes). How to apply NIPT2.0 reasonably and normatively to maximize its clinical value has become an issue which requires clarification. The Reproductive Health Branch of the Chinese Maternal and Child Health Care Association has organized experts to fully discuss and jointly drafted this consensus, which has put forwards suggestions over the clinical application strategy for NIPT2.0, including the scope of application, target disease, pre-test consultation, clinical application pathway, post-test genetic counseling and intervention, quality control and limitations, for the reference by peers, with a view to standardize its application and provide better clinical service.

Objective To investigate the effects of remazolam on melatonin secretion,sleep rhythm and postoperative delirium(POD)in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery.Methods A total of 160 elderly patients,76 males and 84 females,aged 65-80 years,BMI 18.5-24.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,from November 2023 to January 2024 undergoing spinal surgery(lumbar interbody fusion,posterior approach)under general anesthesia were selected.The patients were divided into two groups by random number table method:the remazolam group(group R)and the propofol group(group P),80 pa-tients in each group.Group R was given remazolam 0.3 mg/kg for anesthesia induction,and then continued to pump remazolam 0.3-0.8 mg·kg-1·h-1 for anesthesia maintenance.Group P was given propofol 2.0 mg/kg for anesthesia induction,and then continued to pump propofol 4-6 mg·kg-1·h-1 for anesthesia maintenance.The levels of melatonin and cortisol were recorded at 04:00 a.m.on the day of surgery,1 day,2 and 3 days after surgery.Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)and VAS pain scores at rest were recorded 1 day before surgery,1 day and 2 days after surgery and before discharge.The occurrence of POD and post-operative sleep disorder(POSD)were recorded.The duration of extubation,PACU stay time,total analgesia pump compressions,effective analgesia pump compressions,number of remedial analgesia cases,intraoperative hypotension,postoperative nausea and vomiting,dizziness,respiratory depression and other adverse events were recorded.Results Compared with group P,the extubation time and PACU residence time in group R were significantly shortened(P＜0.05),the level of melatonin was significantly increased while the level of cortisol was significantly decreased at 4:00 a.m.,and the PSQI was significantly decreased 1 day after surgery(P＜0.05),the incidence of POD,POSD,and intraoperative hypotension were signifi-cantly decreased(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in extubation time,total and effective times of analgesic pump,rate of remedial analgesia,intraoperative hypotension,postoperative nausea,vom-iting,dizziness and respiratory depression between the two groups.Conclusion Remazolam has little effect on the secretion rhythm of melatonin and cortisol and the sleep rhythm after spinal surgery in elderly pa-tients,and the recovery is faster,which can reduce the incidence of POD and alleviate the sleep disorder af-ter spinal surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the characteristics of animal-related injuries and summarize the epidemiological features of the affected population using the hospital's emergency department electronic medical record system. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting data on animal-related injuries (dogs, cats, rodents, or other animals) as recorded in the outpatient registration system of the emergency department at Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province from October 8, 2022, to October 30, 2023. The study variables encompassed patient demographic characteristics (gender, age, occupation, residence, etc.), and injury characteristics (date and location of injury, type of animal inflicting the injury, level of exposure, wound site, number of wounds, vaccination history, etc.). Descriptive statistics and univariate analysis were performed on the collected data. RESULTS: From October 8, 2022, to October 30, 2023, a total of 1 266 cases of animal bites were attended to in our hospital's emergency department. A distinct seasonal pattern was observed in the monthly distribution of animal bite patients, with a consistent presence throughout the year and notable fluctuations. There was a higher incidence during the summer and autumn (July to October), and a lower incidence during the winter and spring (December to the following March), marking a relatively quiescent period. The study included 680 female cases (53.7%) and 586 male cases (46.3%), with a median age of 27 years (range 11 months to 88 years). The majority of patients were clerks or workers (50.2%), followed by students (21.6%), laborers (8.5%), and retirees (3.6%). The majority of patients were local residents (90.6%), and the majority had no history of rabies vaccination (76.9%), with only 3 cases (0.2%) having pre-exposure immunization. Among the four types of animal bites, cat bites predominated (64.5%), followed by dog bites (28.7%), rodent bites (4.9%), and bites from other animals (1.9%). The time from injury to consultation was 0 (0-40) days. Most patients experienced a level III exposure (76.3%), with level II exposure being less common (23.2%), and level I exposure being the least frequent (0.5%). The upper limbs were the most common site of injury (72.1%), followed by the lower limbs (21.2%), and the trunk was the least affected (2.6%). The majority of patients had a single wound (75.8%), and the majority of injuries occurred at home (90.2%). The number of patients who self-cleaned their wounds was comparable to those who sought outpatient treatment. When stratified by age and gender, the age of 18 to 39 years group was identified as the high-incidence demographic for all four types of animal bites. In this age group, except for injuries caused by mice, injuries caused by other animals were more common in females than males. CONCLUSIONS The proportion of injuries caused by cats in animal-related incidents in the emergency department of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, is significantly high. The majority of patients lack a history of rabies vaccination and pre-exposure immunization. There is a higher incidence of cases during the summer and autumn months, with a prolonged high-incidence period. The utilization of emergency department data on animal injuries provides a convenient and sustainable method for monitoring animal bites, representing a novel approach to comprehensive surveillance data and serving as a valuable supplement to the existing disease control surveillance system.
