[Objective]Childhood trauma(CT)is considered one of the major risk factors for developing major depres-sive disorder(MDD)in adulthood.However,the neural basis of MDD patients with CT(CT-MDD)remains poorly under-stood.Therefore,the objective of our study is to explore the resting-state global brain functional connectivity(FC)in CT-MDD.[Methods]A total of 34 CT-MDD and 34 healthy controls performed resting-state fMRI.Whole-brain voxel-level degree centrality(DC)analysis was performed,and the brain regions with significant differences between the two groups were selected as region of interest(ROI)for further estimating the global brain FC.Subsequently,correlation analysis was performed between DC values,FC values in abnormal brain areas and clinical characteristics.[Results]The CT-MDD group showed increased DC value of the right middle frontal gyrus(MFG)compared with the healthy controls.Seed-based FC revealed that the CT-MDD group showed increased connections between the left precuneus and the right MFG or the right medial prefrontal cortex,relative to healthy controls(threshold at P<0.05).Additionally,the DC value of the right MFG was correlated with the severity of CT.[Conclusion]Our results show the increased FC between the left precuneus and the ROI(right MFG)as well as the right medial prefrontal cortex,which are two important brain regions within the de-fault mode network(DMN),and might suggest increased synchronism between the cognitive executive networks and DMN in CT-MDD.These findings may provide insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying CT-MDD.

In recent years, public hospitals have been facing pressure from the reform of medical insurance payment methods. It is urgent to strengthen the operation and management of public hospitals. In June 2022, a tertiary public hospital utilized hospital intelligent agents to carry out refined cost management practices for medical service charging projects, sorted out medical service charging projects, designed management paths, and calculated project costs. The hospital conducted refined management on the cost of medical service charging items from three control dimensions of project unit cost with manpower, equipment and consumables, and two comparative directions with horizontal and vertical. The refined cost management practice not only pointted out the direction for global refinement cost control within the hospital, but also reduced the proportion of hospital consumption, which provided reference for improving the level of refined operation and management of public hospital hospitals.

Objective:To analyze the cost of diagnosis-intervention packet(DIP) in a certain hospital in 2021 based on hospital intelligent agents, so as to provide feasible ideas for refined management of DIP costs.Methods:On the basis of the construction of the hospital intelligent agent platform and the results of project cost accounting in the early stage, a total of 60 187 cases and 4 860 DIP diseases in the hospital in 2021 were selected as the research objects. The project superposition method was applied to calculate the unit cost of all DIP diseases in the hospital. Based on the results of DIP cost accounting, the ideas and methods of fine management of DIP costs were explored from the perspectives of DIP disease classification, management of all hospital diseases and medical insurance diseases, vertical and horizontal comparative analysis of DIP costs, and management of medical insurance cases and non medical insurance cases under the same DIP disease category.Results:Twenty-two advantageous DIP disease types, 67 key disease types, 1 590 potential disease types, and 3 181 disadvantageous disease types were identified. Introducing medical income as an intermediate indicator facilitated the classification of DIP disease types under medical insurance, 1 072 advantageous disease types, 917 key disease types, 458 potential disease types, and 815 disadvantageous disease types in medical insurance were identified. Through refined accounting, it was found that the average cost of non medical insurance cases under the same DIP disease category was generally higher than that of medical insurance cases, and there were differences in DIP costs at different levels during different time periods.Conclusions:By determining and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of disease types in the entire hospital, common problems of disease types under the same category can be identified, and targeted control measures can be proposed. By analyzing the two dimensions of medical insurance surplus and medical surplus, the advantages and disadvantages of medical insurance diseases can be quickly determined, providing a lever for the control of medical insurance diseases. The horizontal and vertical comparative analysis of DIP costs, as well as the analysis of medical insurance cases and non medical insurance cases under the same DIP disease category, can provide feasible methods for hospitals to manage DIP costs at multiple levels and dimensions.

Objective:To explore the brain structural changes in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after traffic accident.Methods:Forty-six patients with PTSD (PTSD group) who received treatment in Psychology Department, Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province from January 2021 to June 2022 after traffic accidents and 49 gender- and age-matched normal healthy subjects (control group) were selected; all subjects underwent MRI 3D-T1WI structural imaging of the whole brain. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was used to detect the volume differences of the gray matter between the two groups. The correlations of volumes of the gray matter in PTSD group which was different from that in the control group with Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS), PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) were analyzed.Results:Compared with control group, patients in PTSD group had significantly decreased gray matter volumes in the left hippocampus, left postcentral gyrus and right superior frontal gyrus ( P<0.001, adjusted GRF); no regions with increased gray matter volumes were noted. The gray matter volume in the left postcentral gyrus was negatively correlated with CAPS scores in PTSD patients ( r=-0.443, P=0.002); the gray matter volumes in other brain regions with differences were not correlated with CAPS, PCL-C or HAMD scores ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Structural changes of the left hippocampus, left postcentral gyrus and right superior frontal gyrus are observed in PTSD patients caused by traffic accidents, and the gray matter volume of left postcentral gyrus is related to severity of PTSD clinical symptoms.
