Objective To investigate and analyze the resources and application frequency of radiological diagnosis and treatment in Jinan City in 2023 and provide a basis for the rational application of radiological diagnosis and treatment resources and strengthening radiological health protection management. Methods The health administrative department issued a work plan. A general survey was conducted on radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions (excluding dental clinics) in Jinan City using a questionnaire. The survey covered the basic information of the radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions, the distribution of the radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment, the number of radiological workers, and the frequency of radiological diagnosis and treatment. Results There were 301 radiological diagnosis and treatment institutions in Jinan City, with 1603 sets of radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment and 5789 radiological workers. These institutions included 41 (13.62%) tertiary hospitals, 57 (18.94%) secondary hospitals, 110 (36.54%) primary hospitals, and 93 (30.90%) ungraded hospitals. Tertiary hospitals had the highest proportions of radiological diagnosis and treatment equipment and workers, accounting for 49.53% and 69.10% of the total, respectively. The frequencies of radiological diagnosis and treatment were 868.86 X-ray diagnostic imaging examinations per 1000 population, 5.07 radiotherapies per 1000 population, 14.19 interventional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures per 1000 population, 7.36 nuclear medical diagnostic procedures per 1000 population, and 0.56 nuclear medical therapeutic procedures per 1000 population. The frequency of CT diagnosis was the highest, reaching 407.76 procedures per 1000 population. Conclusion The radiological diagnosis and treatment resources and activities in Jinan City were mainly concentrated in tertiary hospitals, with unbalanced distribution among hospitals of different grades. It is necessary to apply various medical radiations correctly and reasonably and strengthen radiation protection to reduce the frequency of radiation and the collective effective dose.

Objective To investigate the exposure level of radioactive hazard factors and the health management of radiation workers in non-medical radiation institutions (excluding military institutions) in Jinan, China through radioactive hazard factor monitoring, to identify the weak links, and to provide a scientific basis for future work priorities. Methods According to the monitoring plan formulated by Jinan Municipal Health Commission, the task undertaking institutions at all levels in Jinan investigated the types of radioactive hazard factors, detection, training, and health monitoring of 101 non-medical radiation institutions in Jinan. In addition, the workplace radiation levels were detected in 25 institutions of 6 types of monitoring objects, including industrial flaw detection, non-medical accelerator, non-sealed radioactive material workplace, nuclear instrument, baggage detector, and others. Results The investigation objects included institutions engaged in industrial flaw detection, nuclear instrument, luggage detector, non-medical accelerator, non-sealed source workplace, and others. Of these institutions, 91.84% were equipped with radiation protection detectors, 92.86% were equipped with personal dose alarm, 97.73% were equipped with personal protective equipment, 94.36% performed radiation protection training, 92.69% employed radiation workers with certificates, 95.77% performed personal dose detection, 94.83% performed occupational health examination, and 100.00% were qualified for radiation protection detection in workplace. Conclusion There is still a gap between the radiation protection status of non-medical institutions in Jinan and the national regulations and standards, so it is necessary to further strengthen supervision and law enforcement and make greater efforts in training and publicity.

Baitouweng Decoction is a classic prescription commonly used in the treatment of heat-toxin dysentery,with confirmed efficacy in the treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC).Clinical studies have found that Baitouweng Decoction,modified Baitouweng Decoction,combined with other Chinese materia medica or other therapies for UC can improve the clinical symptoms of patients,reduce the lesion activity score under colonoscopy,promote the healing of intestinal mucosal tissue,and also improve the overall efficiency of treatment,and reduce adverse reactions and recurrence rate.Pharmacological studies showed that Baitouweng Decoction may treat UC by regulating the expressions of related inflammatory factors and signaling pathways,regulating immune function,repairing intestinal mucosal barrier,and improving intestinal flora imbalance.This article systematically reviewed the clinical and basic research progress of Baitouweng Decoction in the treatment of UC,in order to provide a basis for relevant research.

This article introduced Professor Xie Jingri's clinical experience in explaining the etiology,pathogenesis and treatment of cirrhotic ascites based on the theory of collateral disease.Professor Xie Jingri believes that cirrhotic ascites is mostly the syndrome of deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality,and the mixture of deficiency and excess.Among them,the deficiency of collaterals is the root of the pathogenesis of cirrhotic ascites,and qi stagnation,water dampness,blood stasis and other pathogenic factors blocking collaterals are its superficiality.The treatment should be based on the basic principles of tonifying deficiency and dredging collaterals,promoting qi and dredging collaterals,removing dampness and dredging collaterals,and promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals.One medical case about liver cirrhosis ascites of qi stagnation and collateral obstruction type was attached in this article.The treatment should be promoting qi and dredging collaterals,with confirmed clinical efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the value of bedside transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) in volume reactivity assessment of children with septic shock.Methods:A total of 41 children aged from 1 to 5 years with septic shock requiring mechanical ventilation admitted to PICU from January 2017 to June 2020 were prospectively included.Under the condition of complete mechanical ventilation, full sedation and analgesia, and no spontaneous breathing(tidal volume 8 to 10 mL/kg), volume expansion was given to children.Hemodynamic indexs such as cardiac index(CI), stroke volume index(SVI) and stroke volume variability(SVV) were measured before and after volume expansion by noninvasive cardiac output monitoring(NICOM) and TTE.Moreover, aortic flow velocity time integral variable degrees(ΔVTI), inferior vena cava variability(ΔIVC) and inferior vena cava dilation index(dIVC) were also measured by TTE.Patients were considered to be responsive to volume expansion if SVI NICOMincreased≥15%.Based on the responsiveness of volume expansion, all the patients were divided into response group and non-response group.The value of SVV TTE, ΔVTI, ΔIVC, dIVC, ΔCVP and SVV NICOMin predicting volume responsiveness were analysed. Results:(1) There were 23 cases in response group and 18 cases in non-response group.Before volume expansion, there were no statistically significant differences in general hemodynamic indexes HR, MAP, CVP, EF, CI NICOM, and CI TTEbetween two groups( P>0.05). (2) In response group, HR, MAP, CI, SVI and CVP were all improved after volume expansion( P<0.001). In non-response group, only CVP was significantly increased after volume expansion, while other indexes were not improved( P>0.05). (3)Before the volume expansion, SVV TTE, ΔVTI, ΔIVC, and dIVC in response group were higher than those in non-response group( P<0.001). After volume expansion, these indicators were significantly reduced in response group.In non-response group, only ΔIVC significantly reduced after volume expansion.(4) The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of SVV TTEand ΔVTI was 0.971, with 12.04% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.957 and the specificity was 0.944. The area under the curve of ΔIVC was 0.981, with 25.98% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.870 and the specificity was 1.000.The area under the curve of dIVC was 0.980, with 29.86% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.870 and the specificity was 1.000. The area under the curve of ΔCVP was 0.778, with 2.5 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa) as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.913 and the specificity was 0.556. The area under the curve of SVV NICOMwas 0.874, with 12.50% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.869 and the specificity was 0.778. Conclusion:The dynamic indexes SVV, ΔVTI, ΔIVC and dIVC monitored by TTE have good accuracy in evaluating children′s volume responsiveness, among which the accuracy of ΔIVC and dIVC is relatively the highest; the value of ΔCVP in predicting volume responsiveness is limited.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between infection and transmission of HIV/AIDS, explore the characteristics of the HIV-1 transmission network, and provide evidence for formulating targeted prevention and control measures.Methods:The newly confirmed HIV/AIDS in Jiaxing from 2017 to 2018 were selected for the study. The sociodemographic and infection transmission-related information was gathered. The blood samples were collected and RNA was extracted, RT-PCR and nested PCR amplified the pol gene of HIV-1. The phylogenetic tree was constructed by Mega 6.0 software for subtype analysis. The genetic distance between strains was calculated, and the molecular transmission network was drawn by using Cytoscape 3.6.0 software. The results of the epidemiological study based on the molecular transmission network were analyzed. Results:There were fifteen HIV-1 gene subtypes in 517 cases of HIV/AIDS. The main subtypes were CRF01_AE (37.1%)、CRF07_BC (36.2%) and CRF08_BC (11.8%). Under the 1.0% gene distance threshold, 87 molecular clusters were established, and the total clustering rate was 45.8% (237/517). The cluster risk factors were 60-81 age group (compared with 14-24 age group, OR=2.690, 95% CI:1.058-6.844), married (compared with unmarried, OR=1.698, 95% CI:1.003-2.875), CRF07_BC subtype (compared with CRF01_AE, OR=2.203, 95% CI:1.426-3.404). The largest molecular cluster, CRF07_BC-1, consisted of 50 cases (including 21 cases confirmed in 2017 cases and 29 confirmed in 2018). Multivariate analysis showed that characteristics of unmarried (compared with married, OR=2.482, 95% CI:1.140-5.402), gays (compared with heterosexual, OR=3.163, 95% CI:1.543-6.483), cases with high-risk transmission (compared with other cases, OR=7.631, 95% CI:1.783-32.654), confirmed in Nanhu and Pinghu districts of Jiaxing (compared with other districts, OR=2.225, 95% CI:1.074-4.608) were risks for entering the largest molecular cluster. There were seven suspected high-risk transmission MSM in the largest molecular cluster. The first debut of homosexual behavior was from 2010 to 2018, and the median number of gay partners was 20 ( P 25, P 75：10, 100) within two years before being diagnosed. Six reported a recent history of looking for gay partners in an MSM dating place in Nanhu district. Conclusions:The HIV-1 subtypes of newly confirmed HIV/AIDS were diverse, mainly sporadic in Jiaxing from 2017 to 2018. There were geographical aggregation characteristics and suspected some high-risk transmission cases, suggesting that rapid transmission and targeted intensive intervention are needed.

Objective To investigate the relationship between underweight and pulmonary function in the general population. Methods A total of 2 350 patients who underwent a pulmonary function examination at Chongqing Three Gorges Central Hospital from January to June 2019 were selected as the study subjects. The subjects were divided into three groups based on their BMI value including underweight (<18.5 kg/m²), normal weight (BMI between 18.5 kg/m2 and 25 kg/m²), and overweight and obese (≥25 kg/m²). Results Subjects in the overweight group had significantly worse biochemical indicators compared with underweight and normal weight subjects, but the frequency of strenuous exercise of the underweight subjects was significantly lower than that of the other two groups (P<0.001). Compared to the normal weight and overweight groups, the underweight group had lower level of forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), predicted FEV1(%), forced vital capacity (FVC), predicted FVC(%), and peak expiratory flow (PEF) (P<0.001), but higher level of FEV1/FVC, as well as predicted FEV1 (%)<80% and predicted FVC (%)<80%. Multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that after adjusting for multiple confounding factors, the risk of reduced lung function in underweight group increased significantly, and the odd ratios were 2.10 (95%CI 1.98–2.21) and 4.90 (95%CI 4.62–5.18) for FEV1(%)<80% and FVC%<80%, respectively. Conclusion This study demonstrated that in the general population, the underweight was significantly associated with reduced lung function.

Objective To explore the application value of noninvasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM) in children with sepsis. Methods A total of 51 children with sepsis admitted to pediatric inten-sive care unit in Chengdu Women and Children's Center Hospital were enrolled. They were divided into three groups:sepsis without cardiovascular functional disorder group( sepsis group,n＝16),septic shock compen-sation group (n＝22),septic shock decompensation group (n＝13). The cardiac function of the children was detected by NICOM and echocardiography at the time of admission 0 hours and 1 hours after admission re-spectively. Cardiac index (CI),stroke volume(SV) measured by NICOM and ejection fraction (EF),SV measured by echocardiography were recorded. The correlation between CI and EF at 0 hours and 1 hours after admission was analyzed,and the SV measured by the two methods were compared. Results (1) In the sep-sis group,the CI measured by NICOM was(3. 54 ± 0. 36) L/( min·m2) and EF measured by echocardio-graphy was (66. 9 ± 4. 4)%. There was a significant positive correlation between CI and EF(r＝0. 941,P<0.01).(2) In the septic shock compensation group,CI was (2.40 ±0.36) L/(min·m2) and EF was (51. 91 ± 4. 38)% at 0 hours after admission,and there was a positive correlation between CI and EF( r＝0. 751,P＝0. 023). CI was(2. 98 ±0. 37)L/(min·m2)and EF was(59. 41 ±4. 39)% at 1 hours after admis-sion,and there was a positive correlation between CI and EF (r＝0. 879,P＝0. 012). At 0 hours and 1 hours after admission,the value of SV measured by NICOM was very close to that measured by echocardiography, and there was no significant difference(P>0. 05). (3) In the septic shock decompensation group,CI was (1.26 ±0.28) L/(min·m2) and EF was (41.23 ±4.73)% at 0 hours after admission,and there was no positive correlation between CI and EF(r＝0. 515,P＝0. 121). CI was(1. 61 ± 0. 32)L/(min·m2)and EF was(47. 77 ± 6. 19)% at 1 hours after admission,and there was no positive correlation between CI and EF (r＝0. 531,P＝0. 085). There was significant difference between the value of SV measured by NICOM and that measured by echocardiography at 0 hours and 1 hours after admission (P<0. 05). Conclusion NICOM can accurately evaluate cardiac output when the hemodynamics is stable,but the results are not accurate when the hemodynamics is unstable. NICOM has certain application value in pediatric critical care.

Objective To explore the cleaning status and cleaning quality of dental handpieces in various types of medical institutions in Suzhou City.Methods On October 26-31, 2015, dental clinics in the whole city were sampled according to cross-sectional survey and proportional sampling method, the cleaning quality of dental handpieces in each clinic was detected by ATP bioluminescence assay.Results 72 medical institutions, 201 handpieces, 402 samples in 10 administrative regions of the city were sampled, 42 samples was unqualified, unqualified rate was 10.45％, unqualified rate of cleaning of dental handpiece surface was higher than waterline of dental handpiece(17.91％ vs 2.99％, P<0.05).Cleaning quality of dental handpieces in different grades of medical institutions was different(P<0.05), tertiary medical institutions were all ualified, medical institutions without grade was 14.45％.According to the classification based on name of different medical institutions, cleaning quality of handpieces was statistically significant(P<0.05), cleaning efficacy of dental handpieces in department of stomatology of public hospitals was best(unqualified rate was 4.31％), while private dental clinics had the worst cleaning efficacy(unqualified rate was 13.81％).Conclusion Education and training of dental handpieces cleaning in the whole city should be strengthened, especially the management of cleaning of dental handpieces in low grade and private dental clinics.

cleaning and disinfection.Results All 28 surveyed medical institutions had separate endoscope disinfection rooms, 89.29% of which had integrated endoscopic cleaning station,17.86% had automatic endoscope washer/disinfector;100% used multi-enzymatic detergent,chose the right disinfectant,monitored disinfectant concentration every day, and implemented standard disinfection time.But only 39.29% changed multi-enzymatic detergent for each endo-scope,cleaning and disinfection personnel in 78.57% of medical institutions wore personal protective equipment correctly.77 digestive endoscopes were detected,the qualified rate was 88.31%.Conclusion Cleaning and disin-fection management of digestive endoscope in secondary and above medical institutions in Suzhou City is generally standardized,there are still some problems in the manipulation procedures,relevant national regulations should be strictly complied with,efficacy of cleaning and disinfection of digestive endoscope should be further improved.
