Objective To elucidate the molecular mechanism of sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) in regulating mitochondrial biogenesis in human renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods Cells were stimulated with different concentrations of H₂O₂ and divided into four groups: control (NC), 50 μmol/L H₂O₂, 110 μmol/L H₂O₂ and 150 μmol/L H₂O₂. SIRT3 protein expression was then measured. SIRT3 was knocked down with siRNA, and cells were further assigned to five groups: control (NC), negative-control siRNA (NCsi), SIRT3-siRNA (siSIRT3), NCsi+H₂O₂, and siSIRT3+H₂O₂. After 24 h, cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and mitochondrial superoxide anion (O₂•⁻) levels were determined, together with mitochondrial expression of SIRT3, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF1), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), acetylated-SOD2 and adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase α1 (AMPKα1). Results The 110 and 150 μmol/L H₂O₂ decreased SIRT3 protein (both P<0.05). ATP and mitochondrial O₂•⁻ did not differ between NC and NCsi groups (both P>0.05). Compared to the NCsi group, the siSIRT3 group exhibited elevated O₂•⁻ level, decreased SIRT3 protein and increased expression levels of SOD2 and acetylated SOD2 protein (all P<0.05). Compared to the NCsi group, the NCsi+H₂O₂ group exhibited decreased cellular ATP levels, elevated mitochondrial O₂•⁻ levels, and reduced protein expression levels of SIRT3, SOD2, TFAM, AMPKα1, PGC-1α and NRF1 (all P<0.05). Compared with the siSIRT3 group, the siSIRT3+H₂O₂ group showed a decrease in cellular ATP levels, an increase in mitochondrial O₂•⁻ levels, a decrease in SIRT3, SOD2, TFAM, AMPKα1, PGC-1α and NRF1 protein expression levels and a decrease in acetylated SOD2 protein expression levels (all P<0.05). Compared with the NCsi+H₂O₂ group, the siSIRT3+H₂O₂ group showed a decrease in cellular ATP levels, an increase in mitochondrial O₂•⁻ levels, a decrease in SIRT3, AMPKα1, PGC-1α and NRF1, TFAM protein expression levels, and an increase in SOD2 and acetylated SOD2 protein expression levels (all P<0.05). Conclusions SIRT3 promotes mitochondrial biogenesis in tubular epithelial cells via the AMPK/PGC-1α/NRF1/TFAM axis, representing a key mechanism through which SIRT3 ameliorates oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.

BACKGROUND: The FAVOR (Comparison of Quantitative Flow Ratio Guided and Angiography Guided Percutaneous Intervention in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease) III China trial demonstrated that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) lesion selection using quantitative flow ratio (QFR) measurement, a novel angiography-based approach for estimating fractional flow reserve, improved two-year clinical outcomes compared with standard angiography guidance. This study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of QFR-guided PCI from the perspective of the current Chinese healthcare system. METHODS: This study is a pre-specified analysis of the FAVOR III China trial, which included 3825 patients randomized between December 25, 2018, and January 19, 2020, from 26 centers in China. Patients with stable or unstable angina pectoris or those ≥72 hours post-myocardial infarction who had at least one lesion with a diameter stenosis between 50% and 90% in a coronary artery with a ≥2.5 mm reference vessel diameter by visual assessment were randomized to a QFR-guided strategy or an angiography-guided strategy with 1:1 ratio. During the two-year follow-up, data were collected on clinical outcomes, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), estimated costs of index procedure hospitalization, outpatient cardiovascular medication use, and rehospitalization due to major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). The primary analysis calculated the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) as the cost per MACCE avoided. An ICER of ¥10,000/MACCE event avoided was considered economically attractive in China. RESULTS: At two years, the QFR-guided group demonstrated a reduced rate of MACCE compared to the angiography-guided group (10.8% vs . 14.7%, P <0.01). Total two-year costs were similar between the groups (¥50,803 ± 21,121 vs . ¥50,685 ± 23,495, P = 0.87). The ICER for the QFR-guided strategy was ¥3055 per MACCE avoided, and the probability of QFR being economically attractive was 64% at a willingness-to-pay threshold of ¥10,000/MACCE avoided. Sensitivity analysis showed that QFR-guided PCI would become cost-saving if the cost of QFR were below ¥3682 (current cost: ¥3800). Cost-utility analysis yielded an ICER of ¥56,163 per QALY gained, with a 53% probability of being cost-effective at a willingness-to-pay threshold of ¥85,000 per QALY gained. CONCLUSION: In patients undergoing PCI, a QFR-guided strategy appears economically attractive compared to angiographic guidance from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system.

Optimizing operation management mode is the core task to promote the high-quality development of public hospitals.Drawing on the typical experiences and practices of operation and management of representative in-ternational hospitals in the United States,the United Kingdom,Singapore and West China Hospital of Sichuan Univer-sity,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine Affiliated Xinhua Hospital,Jilin University China-Japanese Union Hospital of Jilin University,and carrying out a full range of comparative analyses.Put forward the new situation of China's public hospital operations and management to establish a"big operations management"concept.By iden-tifying the operation management role,rationalizing the operation management organization structure and training operation management compound talents to discuss stablishing a committee system,integrating multi-departmental resources to form a scientific and sound problem identificaiton,feedback,consultation and improvement of working mechanism,and promote the high-quality development of publit hospitals.

Comprehensively improving the new efficiency of high-quality development of public hospitals is the key top-level design for deepening the reform of public hospitals during the"14th Five-Year Plan"period.In view of the changes in the macro environment faced by public hospitals in recent years,such as the cancellation of the addi-tion of pharmaceutical consumables and the deep promotion of the reform of payment methods,as well as the out-standing problems existing at the micro level of public hospital operation,such as the separation of diagnosis and treatment business from economic operation activities,extensive decision-making methods,unreasonable alloca-tion of resources and urgent optimization of processes.By referring to relevant theories such as value management theory,a new"trinity"public hospital lean operation management model based on"integration of industry and fi-nance,lean operation and evidence-based decision-making"is explored and constructed.It breaks the relatively parallel operation barriers of clinical diagnosis and treatment business and economic operation management,innovates a new method of linear staff management with the integration of industry and finance,gives full play to the role of experts in governing hospitals,and integrates the professional committee system driven by"technology+manage-men"into the hospital decision-making staff system to provide data evidence-based basis for assisting the hospital leadership to make scientific decisions.

The access evaluation of new medical technology is an important part of the preclinical application of medical technology and plays a vital role in ensuring the quality and safety of medical services.However,in the con-crete practice of access evaluation,there are still some problems such as imperfect access theoretical framework,imperfect evaluation index system.With the strategic support of health policies,laws,and regulations,the theory and method of HB-HTA are used for reference,core elements such as assessment subject,assessment object,and assessment content are comprehensively considered,the index system is designed from the dimensions of tech-nical characteristics,safety,effectiveness,economy and applicability,and the access evaluation framework of im-ported medical new technologies is constructed.To offer a theoretical framework and evidence-based basis for medi-cal facility medical technology access management.

Objective To measure and comprehensively analyze the operation efficiency of coronary heart disease Center of National Regional Medical Center for Cardiovascular Disease from the dimensions of department service in-come,department service quality,department service efficiency and department service benefit,and put forward targeted operation management optimization strategies based on the analysis results.Methods The operation effective-ness evaluation index of CHD centers in sample hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was measured by the empirical re-search method from the overall level of the center and the level of clinical departments,and the scores were com-pared and analyzed.Results From 2020 to 2022,the operation effectiveness evaluation index of CHD centers in sam-ple hospitals showed a good trend,increasing from 80.57 points to 82.86 points.The 3-year average score was 81.74;Among them,the score rate of department service benefit dimension is higher,the average is 96.64％;The score rate of department service efficiency was lower,with an average of 68.53％.The departments with the lowest operational efficiency scores from 2020 to 2022 are all A2 departments,with 74.39,72.41 and 75.89 scores respec-tively,mainly due to the relatively low scores of A2 departments in the dimensions of department service revenue and department service efficiency.Conclusion The results of clinical department operation effectiveness evaluation can provide the evidence-based basis for hospital operation management,and hospitals can establish benchmarking management departments according to the evaluation results and take targeted measures to improve the comprehen-sive operation efficiency of departments.

The establishment of an economic operating mechanisms for hospitals is a key factor in advancing the growth of public hospitals in the modern age.At present,the due value of key factors such as medical resources and labor value of medical personnel in public hospitals in China has not been fully reflected,which not only restricts the overall operation efficiency of hospitals,but also makes it difficult to realize the marginal value of hospital operation and management.The economic operating mechanisms of public hospitals is in urgent need of reform.Large public hospitals in Henan Province has established an economic operating mechanisms of public hospitals based on intelli-gent finance,comprehensive budget management as the core,and cost control and performance management as the major tools to realize the interconnection of various systems and promote the high-quality development of hospi-tals with the three major supports of industry and finance integration,financial integration and financial integration.
