Objective:It aims to examine the effects of the employee medical insurance outpatient mutual assistance on medical insurance costs for patients with diabetes mellitus,offering insights for optimizing outpatient insurance policies and chronic disease management strategies.Methods:Outpatient cost settlement data of urban employees with diabetes mellitus in Lanzhou from 2022 to 2023 was collected.Univariate analysis and interrupted time-series models were used to compare relevant medical insurance cost indicators before and after the reform.Results:The inpatient data of 765 730 diabetes mellitus patients were included in the study,and male patients account for 62.67％.After the reform,average per-visit pooling fund expenditure,average per-visit individual payment expenditures,average per-visit personal account expenditure,average per-visit eligible expense amount,average per-visit total fund payment,and the average per-visit proportion of basic medical pooling payments were decreased(P＜0.05).Moreover,average per-visit pooling fund expenditure,average per-visit individual account expenditure,average per-visit cash payment,average per-visit eligible expense amount,average per-visit total fund payment,and the average per-visit proportion of basic medical pooling payments showed a notable declining trend post-reform(P＜0.05).In contrast,the per-visit fully out-of-pocket expenditure exhibited no significant change before and after the reform(P＞0.05).Conclusion:The reform of the employee medical insurance outpatient mutual assistance system has alleviated the economic burden of disease for diabetic patients and improved the efficiency of medical insurance fund utilization,but it reduced the proportion of basic medical pooling payments.It is recommended to continuously refine the outpatient medical insurance payment system,strengthen supervision of medical expenses and service quality,and balance patient benefits with fund pressure to enhance chronic disease outpatient benefits.

Objective:To investigate the imaging features of single hip joint in patients with acetabular labrum injury, and to analyze the clinical value of 3.0T MRI scanning in the diagnosis of acetabular labrum injury.Methods:Clinical data of 76 patients with high suspicion of acetabular labrum injury and hip arthroscopy during clinical physical examination in Peking University Third Hospital Qinhuangdao Hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected. All patients underwent 3.0T MRI scan of single hip joint before surgery. The type, location and degree of acetabular labrum injury were evaluated by imaging diagnosis, and the diagnostic efficacy of 3.0T MRI single hip scan for acetabular labrum injury was analyzed with the hip arthroscopy as the " gold standard" .Results:Hip arthroscopy showed that 63 patients with acetabular labrum injury had 87 lesions in 228 labrum regions, including 56 lesions in the anterior labrum, 25 lesions in the outer upper labrum, and 6 lesions in the posterior labrum. The injury types were 141 without tear, 29 with parenchymal tear of acetabular labrum and 58 with cartilage junction of acetabular labrum. MRI scan showed changes in high signal within the labrum of the acetabulum, and there were high signal shadows between the labrum base and the acetabular cartilage, and the signal was uneven. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of single hip MRI scanning in the diagnosis of acetabular labrum injury were 85.71%, 84.62% and 85.53%, respectively. The lesions of anterior pelvis and lip were 80.36%, 75.00% and 78.95%, respectively. The injuries of external upper pelvis and lip were 72.00%, 80.39% and 77.63%, respectively. The injuries of posterior pelvis and lip were 100.00%, 95.71% and 96.05%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of single hip MRI in the diagnosis of parenchymatous tear of acetabulum labrum were 100.00%, 94.83% and 96.55%, respectively, which was in good agreement with that of hip arthroscopy (Kappa=0.924).Conclusions:3.0T MRI scan of single hip can effectively diagnose the injury of acetabular pelvis and lip, and has high diagnostic value in the differential diagnosis of different parts and types of acetabular pelvis and lip injury.

Objective To study the syntactic impairment characteristics of wh-question comprehension and expression in Chinese non-fluent aphasic patients.Methods The differences in comprehension and expression be-tween 25 non-fluent aphasic patients and 25 normal subjects were tested in the form of sentence-figure matching and elicitation-repetition to analyze syntactic impairment characteristics related to sentence patterns,question objects,and question words.Results The patients with non-fluent aphasia had impaired comprehension and expression of specific interrogative sentences,and the order of correct comprehension was:(active interrogative sentence,object pseudo-split interrogative sentence)＞(subject pseudo-split interrogative sentence,passive interrogative sentence),and the order of correct expression was:active interrogative sentence＞(pseudo-split interrogative sentence,pas-sive interrogative sentence).Conclusion The pattern of impaired comprehension and expression of wh-question was similar in patients with Chinese non-fluent aphasia.The main influences on syntactic structure included the object of questioning(subject-object)and the type of sentence.Obstacles were more pronounced in sentences with wh-move-ment and non-canonical order.

BACKGROUND:In previous studies,the equivalent structure of three-dimensional cell reconstruction of tissue engineering oral mucosa is similar to normal oral mucosa,including epithelial-like structure,lamina propria-like structure,and vascular lumen-like structure,and has initially achieved the establishment of vascular equivalent,but its vascularization characteristics are not very clear.OBJECTIVE:Vascular-like structures of vascularized oral mucosa equivalent were obtained by targeting vascular endothelial cells specific marker expression profiles correlated with laser capture microdissection system,and their vascularization ability was evaluated to reveal their vascularization characteristics.METHODS:Human gingival epithelial cells were cultured from human gingival epithelium and human gingival fibroblasts,human gingival mesenchymal stem cells were cultured from human gingival lamina propria.Human gingival mesenchymal stem cells were induced to differentiate into vascular endothelial-like cells after monoclonal expansion culture.Human gingival epithelial cells,human gingival fibroblasts,and vascular endothelial-like cells were loaded with acellular vascular matrix-0.25%human-like collagen type Ⅰ scaffold to construct the vascularized oral mucosa equivalent.The layered structure of oral mucosa equivalent(experimental group)and the acellular vascular matrix-0.25%human-like collagen type Ⅰ scaffold(control group)were implanted subcutaneously into the back of nude mice,respectively.14 days later,the incision surface of the two groups was coated with biogel.The biogel surface of the experimental group was inoculated with human gingival epithelial cells,while the control group was not inoculated with cells.The samples were collected after 14 days of feeding.The layered structure of oral mucosa equivalent was observed by morphology.The neovascular-like structures in oral mucosa equivalents were labeled by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence with a more comprehensive expression profile of vascular endothelial cells,and the vascularization characteristics were analyzed.A laser capture microdissection system was used to capture the neovascularization structures in the oral mucosa equivalents specifically labeled by immunohistochemistry and analyze their vascularization characteristics.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The morphology showed that the cell level of oral mucosa equivalent was clear,and the structure was similar to that of normal oral mucosa,that is,there were epithelioid structures,lamina-like structures,and vascular cavelike structures,and there were scattered erythrocytes in the vascular cavelike structures.(2)The results of EdU Apollo tracer seed cells in the oral mucosa equivalent group showed that human gingival epithelial cells labeled with EdU Apollo 488 showed green fluorescence expression.DAPI labeled human gingival fibroblasts showed blue fluorescence expression and formed lamina-like structures in vivo.EdU Apollo 567 labeled vascular endothelial-like cells showed red fluorescence expression and formed a vascular-like structure in vivo.(3)Vascular endothelial cell specific marker expression profile immunofluorescence labeling of vascular structure showed that compared with normal oral mucosa,the expressions of CD31,CD51,CD54,CD105,Tie-2,VWF,vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1,and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 in oral mucosa equivalents were increased(P<0.000 1).There were no significant changes in CD34 expression(P>0.05).(4)Compared with the specifically labeled oral mucosal vascular structures,the expression levels of CD51,CD54,CD105,Tie-2,VWF,vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1,and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 of the oral mucosa equivalents targeted by the laser capture microdissection system were increased(P<0.000 1).There were no significant changes in expression of CD31 and CD34(P>0.05).(5)The results showed that the oral mucosa equivalent reconstructed by three-dimensional cell stratification could achieve good vascularization,and its vascularization characteristics were consistent with the immunological function and characteristics of neovascularization.Vascularization helps three-dimensional cell layer reconstruction of oral mucosa equivalent regeneration.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore the clinical efficacy of severe early childhood caries (SECC) treatment combined with local anesthesia under general anesthesia. METHODS: A total of 108 children under 6 years old who underwent SECC dental treatment under general anesthesia at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Third Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from March to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects, with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification of classⅠor Ⅱ. The study subjects were divided into a control group (n=54) and an experimental group (n=54) by retrieving intraoperative cases and postoperative follow-up records. The control group was given general anesthesia through inhalation combined with nasotracheal intubation, whereas the experimental group was given local anesthesia with 2% lidocaine on each treated tooth on the basis of general anesthesia. The basic information, preoperative anesthesia depth, hemodynamic changes during different surgical procedures, postoperative pain, and adverse reactions in the two groups were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was found in the basic information and preoperative anesthesia depth between the two groups (P>0.05). Among the three procedures (pulpotomy, root canal treatment, and tooth extraction), the three observed indicators in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The proportion of patients in the experimental group who needed to take analgesic measures in accordance with the modified facial pain scale (FPS-R) score was significantly lower than that in the control group at postoperative wakefulness and 2 h after surgery (P<0.05). Meanwhile, no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups at 24 h after surgery (P>0.05). The proportion of patients in the experimental group who needed to take analgesic measures on the basis of the parent posto-perative pain measurement (PPPM) score was significantly lower than that in the control group when they were awake after surgery (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the groups at 2 and 24 h after surgery (P>0.05). Moreover, no statistically significant difference was observed in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups at 24 h after surgery (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The combination of local anesthesia during SECC dental treatment under general anesthesia results in minimal changes in intraoperative hemodynamics and mild postoperative pain response, hence worthy of clinical promotion.
