Objective:To assess the implementation status of Internet-Plus Nursing Services from patient experience perspectives and analyze influencing factors in Putuo District, Shanghai.Methods:A cross-sectional study on Internet-Plus Nursing Services was conducted from January to March 2024. The study enrolled 502 patients from 12 community health centers and 4 social nursing stations in Shanghai Putou District via convenience sampling. Using Internet-Plus Nursing Services for ≥ 6 months were defined as having received the services. Service implementation and quality perception were evaluated using satisfaction assessments and SERVQUAL-based quality perception scales. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression.Results:The service adoption rate was 73.71% (370/502), with 66.93%(336/502) policy awareness. The logistic regression analysis indicated that the application of services was significantly influenced by age ( OR=0.660, 95% CI: 0.512-0.850), self-care ability ( OR=0.384, 95% CI: 0.257-0.574), and policy awareness ( OR=0.344, 95% CI:0.210-0.564) (all P<0.05). Among the service types, specimen collection/monitoring (80.27%, 299/370) and home health guidance (64.86%,240/370) were most utilized. Injection services had the highest satisfaction (4.10/5), while the special type of care had the lowest satisfaction rate (2.45/5). Quality perception was highest for Assurance and Empathy dimensions (both 4.74/5). Conclusion:The application rate and satisfaction of Internet-Plus Nursing Service in Shanghai Putuo District is high, which is associated with effective integration of clinical needs and perceptual drivers. Targeted expansion of specialized care services is recommended to enhance service diversification.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of integrated su pervision mode by doctors ,pharmacists and nurses on the whole-process implementation of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). METHODS :The patients monitored with TDM in our hospital admitted from Jan. to Dec. 2018 were selected as control group ,treated with the traditional drug supervision mode (i.e. the work of doctors ,nurses and pharmacists was relatively independent ). Treatment group was composed of inpatients monitored with TDM from Jan. to Dec. 2019,treated with the integrated supervision mode of doctors ,nurses and pharmacists (i.e. doctors ,nurses and pharmacists cooperated with each other ,taking the patients and sample as the center ,pharmacists as the key link formulated the implementation standards of each link ,and clarified their respective responsibilities ). The concentration compliance rate ,the incidence of incorrect samples ,critical value notification rate ,clinical satisfaction ,drug recommendation feedback and adoption , compliance rates of 6 kinds of monitored drugs (sodium valproate ,digoxin,tacrolimus,cyclosporin,methotrexate,vancomycin) were compared between two groups. RESULTS :The overall compliance rate ,critical value notification rate and clinical satisfaction rate of the observation group were respectively 64.57%,99.39% and 97.22%,which were significantly higher than 57.86%, 96.80% and 92.22% of control group (P<0.05). The incidence of incorrect samples in observation group was 0.72%,which was significantly lower than 3.09% of control group (P<0.001). The feedback rate of individual pharmacists (89.19%),the feedback rate of doctors (80.50%)and the adoption rate of medication suggestions (69.98%)in the observation group were significantly higher than control group (50.34% ,71.46% and 55.36% ,P<0.001). The compliance rate of tacrolimus concentration in observation group was slightly lower than control group (73.40% vs 75.77%,P>0.05). The concentration compliance rate of other 5 varieties was higher than control group ,and the differences of valproate sodium ,digoxin and vancomycin concentrations between two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS :The implementation of integrated doctors ,nurses and pharmacists supervision mode in TDM can effectively improve the drug concentration compliance rate ,realize the . dynamic supervision and feedback of individualized drug use , which is conducive to ensure the safety of clinical medication.

Objective:
To investigate the image quality of ultralow-dose CT (ULDCT) of the chest reconstructed using a cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (CycleGAN)-based deep learning method in the evaluation of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Materials and Methods:
Between June 2019 and November 2019, 103 patients (mean age, 40.8 ± 13.6 years; 61 men and 42 women) with pulmonary tuberculosis were prospectively enrolled to undergo standard-dose CT (120 kVp with automated exposure control), followed immediately by ULDCT (80 kVp and 10 mAs). The images of the two successive scans were used to train the CycleGAN framework for image-to-image translation. The denoising efficacy of the CycleGAN algorithm was compared with that of hybrid and model-based iterative reconstruction. Repeated-measures analysis of variance and Wilcoxon signedrank test were performed to compare the objective measurements and the subjective image quality scores, respectively.
Results:
With the optimized CycleGAN denoising model, using the ULDCT images as input, the peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index improved by 2.0 dB and 0.21, respectively. The CycleGAN-generated denoised ULDCT images typically provided satisfactory image quality for optimal visibility of anatomic structures and pathological findings, with a lower level of image noise (mean ± standard deviation [SD], 19.5 ± 3.0 Hounsfield unit [HU]) than that of the hybrid (66.3 ± 10.5 HU, p < 0.001) and a similar noise level to model-based iterative reconstruction (19.6 ± 2.6 HU, p > 0.908). The CycleGAN-generated images showed the highest contrast-to-noise ratios for the pulmonary lesions, followed by the model-based and hybrid iterative reconstruction. The mean effective radiation dose of ULDCT was 0.12 mSv with a mean 93.9% reduction compared to standard-dose CT.
Conclusion
The optimized CycleGAN technique may allow the synthesis of diagnostically acceptable images from ULDCT of the chest for the evaluation of pulmonary tuberculosis.
