Objective:To analyze the present status and problems for management services in a public hospital, and explore the strategies to enhance the performance of hospital management services drawing on the experience of the reforms to streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services in the public service sector.Methods:In June 2023, a convenience sampling method was employed to select staff from all clinical departments, medical technology departments, and administrative units within a tertiary public hospital as survey participants. An anonymous online questionnaire was conducted to assess overall satisfaction with hospital management services, satisfaction with the " one-stop" service windows, satisfaction with individual administrative departments, and to gather suggestions for improving hospital management services. The Likert 5-level scoring method was used to evaluate the satisfaction. Suggestions and opinions were categorized and analyzed based on the three dimensions of the reforms to streamline administration and delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services.Results:A total of 962 valid questionnaires were collected. The overall satisfaction score for hospital management service was 4.40±0.89 points, with interdepartmental collaboration scoring the lowest score at 4.26±0.99 points. Information management, outpatient services, and research management processes were identified as areas requiring optimization, each mentioned over 100 times. Excessive and overly frequent inspection and evaluations, as well as documentation requirements were the most prominent manifestations of formalism and bureaucracy within administrative units. The average satisfaction score for the " one-stop" service windows was 4.59±0.68 points, and unclear service guidelines/processes and incomplete information provided by window staff were the primary causes of multiple return visits. The average satisfaction score of 32 administrative units was 4.53±0.09 points. A total of 322 valid suggestions were collected, with 13.35% concerning " streamline administration and delegate power", 28.58% addressing " improve regulation", and 58.07% focused on " upgrade services" .Conclusions:Staff at the hospital expressed overall satisfaction with the institution′s management services, but noted areas for improvement in departmental coordination, management of operational processes, and the implementation of the " one-stop service" initiative, and so on. Hospitals should optimize the following aspects: improving " upgrade services" as the primary task and important approach, focusing on building a service-oriented management culture; adhering to the " improve regulation", establishing and improving the modern hospital management system; deepening the " streamline administration and delegate power", transforming management styles and simplifying approval interventions.

Objective:To discuss the pay equity of operating room nurses in public hospitals and provide reference for promoting the salary performance reform of operating rooms.Methods:Using purposive sampling method, 22 cases of operating room nurses from 8 public hospitals in Sichuan Province were selected for semi-structured in-depth interviews from December 2023 to May 2024, and the themes were summarized and distilled by Colaizzi phenomenological data analysis.Results:Twenty-two operationg room nurses were interviewed, 6 males and 16 females with 25-55 years old. The sense of pay equity of operating room nurses was refined into 3 themes and 8 subthemes: ① sense of distributional equity: different representative groups have different views on the basic salary of the position, demand attention to the difference between different subspecialty surgeries, explicit the value embodiment of professional ability, and support for learning and growth; ②sense of procedural equity: the pay policy reflects the interests of the majority of the nurses, and the right to have a say in and ask questions about the pay policy; ③sense of interactive equity: explain the rationale for the pay policy information, focusing on nurses′feelings and perceptions.Conclusions:The sense of fairness of nurses in the operating rooms of public hospitals is expressed in the results of the distribution of subspecialty surgical work, the process of salary decision-making, and the sense of fairness in the interaction between supervisors and subordinates. Nursing managers should pay attention to the reasonable distribution of the pay-earnings ratio of the salaries of nurses in the operating rooms, safeguard the rights of nurses in the process of salary distribution, and pay attention to the sense of the operating room nurses in the implementation of the process or in deciding the results in order to enhance their fairness psychology.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women worldwide, with an increasing incidence rate year by year, making it a significant public health concern. With the continuous advancement of tumor biology research, N 6-methyladenosine (m 6A) modification, as an important form of RNA modification, has attracted growing attention. The m 6A modification, the most prevalent RNA modification in eukaryotes, occurs in almost all types of RNA and plays a critical role in the occurrence, progression, and metastasis of breast cancer. It influences cell proliferation, apoptosis, and alterations in the tumor microenvironment, though the specific mechanisms underlying these effects require further in-depth investigation. Moreover, the specific patterns of m 6A modification demonstrate its potential as a novel biomarker for breast cancer, which could provide new directions for early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation.
