Health insurance fund regulation (HIFR) is a vital issue in the modernization of healthcare security governance, with its importance as a primary task of the healthcare security department continually reinforced in policy practice. This study focused on the 22 specialized policies issued by the National Healthcare Security Administration from its establishment in 2018 to March 2024, deeply analyzed their issue characteristics, and summarized the evolutionary trends of policy changes, as well as the knowledge production patterns that existed in the series of policy formulation, implementation, and feedback processes. Our analysis revealed that the diverse issue characteristics had led to heterogeneous directions in HIFR policies. The policy development process presented distinct composite evolutionary trends, mainly manifested in four aspects: the integration of regulatory system and content, the convergence of professional and societal forces, the parallelism of special governance and regular supervision, and the complementarity of conventional and emerging methods. Additionally, the study demonstrated that the knowledge production embedded in policy evolution encompassed four different dimensions: problem rectification, norm setting, pilot experience, and technical absorption. Together with issue characteristics and policy evolution, they formed an integrated, dynamic, and open system of knowledge production, continuously promoting the renewal and iteration of regulation policies.

Objective:To understand the real experiences of scientific research anxiety among nurses in tertiary hospitals, for references for improving the research capabilities of clinical nurses and formulating corresponding training and management strategies.Methods:From January to June 2023, this study adopted the phenomenological research method in qualitative research, and used the purposive sampling method to select 15 clinical nurses from two tertiary hospitals for semi-structured interviews. The seven-step analysis method was used to extract the theme of nurses′ experiences of scientific research anxiety.Results:A total of 337 minutes of interviews were conducted, with over 80 000 words transcribed. After analysis, four themes were formed, including the manifestations of clinical nurses′ research anxiety(imbalance between work and family life, negative emotions caused by anxiety, positive effects of moderate anxiety), individual reasons(research motivation and self doubt, challenges in time management and resource allocation), external reasons(fast iteration and updating of research methods, research pressure caused by career development, multidimensional support resources to overcome research anxiety), and adjustment strategies(nurses′ own internal drive and insensitivity, multidimensional support resources to overcome research anxiety).Conclusions:Most clinical nurses attached great importance to nursing research and were eager to receive more research support and assistance; The research anxiety of clinical nurses was influenced by multiple factors such as research motivation, time management, iterative updates of research methods, and research support systems. It was recommended that hospital managers actively support clinical nurses to participate in scientific research activities, establish a sound scientific research management system, in order to enhance nurses′ scientific research capabilities.

Objective:To construct 68Ga-1, 4, 7-trizacyclononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-CD44 as a novel atherosclerosis tracer targeting hyaluronic acid (HA), and evaluate its biological property and molecular imaging features. Methods:Low molecular weight (LMW) recombinant human CD44 protein was selected, and the C-terminal of the protein was modified by sulfonation and coupled to the bifunctional ligand NOTA to synthesize a novel molecular probe 68Ga-NOTA-CD44 targeting HA. The biological properties of the probe, such as labeling rate and in vitro stability, were studied. Three atherosclerotic plaque model mice and three normal C57BL/6 mice were studied by 68Ga-NOTA-CD44 microPET/CT imaging and pathological examination. Results:68Ga-NOTA-CD44 tracer was synthesized and purified with the radiochemical purity above 99%, and the specific activity was up to 62.22 MBq/nmol. lts stability was good in PBS, and the radiochemical purity was over 90% after incubation for 3 h. After intravenous injection, the probe was metabolized mainly by the kidneys, and its metabolic level decreased successively in the liver, lungs and blood. MicroPET/CT imaging results of atherosclerotic model mice suggested that the uptake in the plaque of abdominal aorta was higher at 60 min after injection, with SUV max and target/background ratio (TBR) max of 1.14±0.02 and 4.95±0.93, and the probe had certain atherosclerotic plaque eroded targeting, which was consistent with the pathological result. Conclusions:As a novel probe, 68Ga-NOTA-CD44 is simple to prepare and has a high labeling rate. It has good physicochemical properties and in vivo biological properties, and can display atherosclerotic eroded plaques sensitively. 68Ga-NOTA-CD44 has a promising prospect to be a new molecular probe for early noninvasive recognition of atherosclerotic eroded plaques.

【Objective】 To investigate asymptomatic infection of hepatitis B virus(HBV) among hepatitis B vaccinated donors in Shenzhen, and analyze its serological and molecular characteristics. 【Methods】 The HBsAg ELISA positive blood samples of blood donors born after 1992 were collected. HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe and anti-HBc were further detected by Roche electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECL). BCP/PC and S regions were amplified by Nested-PCRs, HBV DNA quantification were adopted by qPCR simultaneously, and the sequences were also analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 46 632 blood samples of donors(31 612 males and 15 020 females) from December 2020 to January 2022 collected, and 99 samples with HBsAg ELISA positive were screened out. After tested by ECL, Nested-PCRs, and real-time fluorescence PCR, 61 were confirmed HBsAg positive, with the positive rate at 0.13% (61/46 632), including 49 males (0.16%, 49/31 612) and 12 females (0.08%, 12/15 020). The HBsAg positive rate of males was higher than that of females (P<0.05). 50 out of 61 sequences for S region were obtained. By phylogenetic analysis, there were 46 cases of type B (92%, 46/50, 38 males and 8 females), 4 cases of type C (8%, 4/50, 3 males and 1 female). The high frequency mutations observed in S region were N40S (8/46,17.39%), G44E (7/46,15.22%), Q129H/R(6/46,13.04%), Y161F/S(7/46, 15.22%), V179A(4/46,8.70%), S53L(2/4,50%), C69T(2/4,50%) and I126S/T(2/4,50%), including the immune escape mutations Q129R and T/I126A/N/S/T. 【Conclusion】 Hepatitis B vaccination can significantly reduce the positive rate of HBsAg and increase the safety of blood transfusion. The high frequency immune escape mutations have become a potential risk of blood safety, and need to be further explored.
