Background The quality of occupational health technical services is directly linked to the protection of workers' health rights and the efficacy of occupational disease prevention and control. However, the industry still faces critical challenges: sporadic instances of institutional non-compliance and persistent irregularities in professional practice continue to undermine overall service performance. Objective To assess the current quality status of occupational health technical services in Zhejiang Province and propose countermeasures for quality improvement, providing a scientific basis for policy optimization and service delivery quality enhancement. Methods A total of 69 occupational health technical service institutions in Zhejiang Province that obtained formal accreditation as of April 30, 2024, were sampled, including 3 public institutions and 66 private institutions (comprising 3 formerly Class-A, 28 formerly Class-B, 11 formerly Class-C, and 24 newly certified institutions). Following the Technical Protocol for Quality Monitoring of Occupational Health Technical Service in Zhejiang Province and the Technical Protocol for Proficiency Testing of Occupational Health Detection in Zhejiang Province, a quality assessment task force comprising national and provincial experts was established. Evaluation was conducted across four dimensions: qualification maintenance and compliance, standardization of technical services, authenticity of technical services, and proficiency testing, utilizing a combination of document review, on-site inspections, and technical skill assessments. Results The occupational health technical service institutions in Zhejiang Province were predominantly private entities (82.5%), with significant disparities in overall service quality. The pass rates for qualification maintenance and compliance, technical service standardization, technical service authenticity, and the excellence rate for laboratory proficiency testing were 81.5%, 80.7%, 97.3%, and 90.4%, respectively. Regarding qualification maintenance, the pass rates for "environmental conditions" (49.8%, 56.7%) and "instrumentation and equipment" (58.2%、65.6%) were significantly lower for formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions compared to other categories. In terms of technical standardization, "standardized on-site inspections" recorded the lowest pass rate (67.4%), with newly certified institutions at only 48.0%. Regarding technical service authenticity, formerly Class-C institutions exhibited issues such as missing raw chromatograms for blank samples (85.7% pass rate). In laboratory proficiency testing, public and formerly Class-A institutions achieved 100% excellence rates, but the performance of formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions was comparatively weak; specifically, the failure rate for organic analysis in formerly Class-C institutions reached 20%; the failure rate for dust testing items in newly certified institutions was 10.3%. Conclusion The overall quality of occupational health technical services in Zhejiang Province still requires significant improvement, particularly in basic institutional conditions, the standardization of on-site inspections, and laboratory proficiency in organic and dust analysis. Formerly Class-C and newly certified institutions should be the primary focus of quality management efforts. Differentiated regulatory strategies are recommended, alongside strengthening interim and ex-post supervision to gradually enhance the quality of occupational health technical services across all institutions.

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of constructing a programmed death receptor-1(PD-1) molecular probe for non-invasive micro-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (Micro-PET/CT) imaging of PD-1 protein in mouse S180 sarcoma. MethodsA transgenic PD-1 C57 S180 sarcoma mouse model was established using the S180 sarcoma cell injection. Furthermore, 124I-anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody probe was synthesized. 18.5 MBq of the 124I-anti-PD-1 probe was injected into the tail vein of transgenic PD-1 C57 mice. Subsequently, S180 sarcoma was imaged using Micro-PET/CT. ResultsStudy successfully established a transgenic PD-1 C57 S180 sarcoma mouse model. Immunohistochemical (IHC) results showed PD-1 protein expression in S180 sarcoma. Micro-PET/CT imaging successfully visualized the PD-1 protein receptor in S180 sarcoma at different time points (20, 48, 72, and 120 h) after probe injection. ConclusionThe 124I-anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody molecular probe successfully targets the PD-1 receptor in S180 sarcoma of transgenic PD-1 C57 mice, and presents clear Micro-PET/CT immunoassay results, thus it potentially enables the non-invasive screening of patients with PD-1 positive malignant tumors.
3.A study on the sustainability of employee medical insurance pooling fund:Multi-scenario simulation evidence from A Province
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2025;18(11):39-47
Objective:To systematically assess the operating dynamics and sustainability of the employees'basic medical insurance pooling fund and provide evidence for policy optimization.Methods:Using Province A as a case study,a dynamic actuarial model grounded in the revenue-expenditure balance framework was constructed.Seven policy simulation scenarios were designed to forecast and compare fund trajectories from 2024 to 2050.Results:Without further policy intervention,the pooling fund faces a high risk of medium-to long-term imbalance.Fertility incentives and relaxed migration policies have limited short-term effects,serving primarily to slightly delay the emergence of deficits.Financing-sharing reforms significantly improve revenue quality,while provider-payment reforms effectively curb non-demographic cost growth.Gradual postponement of retirement strengthens fund sustainability by extending contribution periods and delaying benefit outflows.Cross-provincial instant settlement exerts the greatest pressure on fund expenditure.A comprehensive reform package delivers the most favorable and sustainable balance across revenue,expenditure,and accumulation.Conclusion:Future reforms should center on delayed retirement and provider-payment restructuring,coordinated with contribution-base expansion,demographic optimization,and strengthened oversight of cross-regional medical services,thereby forming a multi-policy collaborative governance framework to ensure the long-term sustainability of the pooling fund.

Objective:To construct a competency-oriented assessment index system based on entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for 5-year undergraduate clinical medical students in oncology internship.Methods:From June to December 2023, the scoping review approach and Bicomb 2.0 were used to construct and manage an item pool. The draft of EPAs and competencies was designed based on truncated word frequency. SPSS 25.0 was used for cluster analysis and UCINET 6.0 was used for visualization. Combining the characteristics and consensus of oncology, a multi-center expert group used the KJ method to draft the framework of EPAs and competencies. Subsequently, the expert group defined milestones and mapped the milestones to the framework to establish the assessment system.Results:Based on 26 included studies, a draft was created containing 19 EPA indicators and 72 competency characteristic indicators. After cluster analysis, 13 experts from 6 medical institutions established a framework including 13 EPAs and 10 competencies as well as 50 milestones, leading to the construction of the "EPAs-competencies-milestones" assessment system.Conclusions:The "EPAs-competencies-milestones" assessment system aligns with the trend of reform, demonstrating universality, specificity, and scientificity. It provides a reference for the development and assessment of oncology internship courses in medical universities.

Objective:To compare the ecchymosis of affected limb in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis using low molecular weight heparin sodium and enoxaparin sodium after total knee arthroplasty.Methods:A total of 160 patients (31 males and 129 females) who underwent unilateral knee replacement in Department of Orthopedics of Chengdu Second People's Hospital from Oct. 2020 to Dec. 2023 were included. According to the random number method, all patients were evenly divided into the low molecular weight heparin sodium group (16 males and 64 females) and the enoxaparin sodium group (15 males and 65 females). All patients were treated with low molecular weight heparin sodium or enoxaparin sodium to prevent deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs after surgery. The ecchymosis area on the affected limb was observed 7 days after surgery, and the incidence and difference in ecchymosis area between the two groups of patients were statistically analyzed. Simultaneously evaluate whether there are differences in hemoglobin, platelet, and coagulation related indicators between the two groups of patients before and after surgery.Results:There were no significant differences in hemoglobin, platelet, and coagulation parameters between the low molecular weight heparin sodium group and the enoxaparin sodium group before and after surgery ( t=1.13, -0.27, -0.47, 0.27, 0.34, -0.27, -0.89, -0.46, P=0.27, 0.34, 0.64, 0.83, 0.74, 0.97, 0.24, 0.65). The incidence of ecchymosis in patients with low molecular weight heparin sodium group and enoxaparin sodium group was 61.25% and 67.50%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference in the incidence of ecchymosis between the two groups ( P=0.41). The average size of ecchymosis in the two groups of patients was (40.40 ± 60.07) cm 2 and (37.41 ± 43.21) cm 2, respectively. And there was no statistically significant difference in ecchymosis area ( P=0.61) . Conclusion:Both patients had limbs’ecchymosis in the process of preventing deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs after total knee replacement. This indicates that the two anticoagulants had a certain effect on postoperative skin ecchymosis of total knee. And the incidence rate and area of ecchymosis of affected limbs were similar in the two groups.

Objective:To study the risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) following one-stage revision surgery combined with intra-articular antibiotics infusion for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the hip joint.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 168 patients with hip PJI who underwent one-stage revision surgery combined with intra-articular antibiotics infusion in the Department of Joint Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, from May 1, 2010 to April 30, 2024. There were 87 males and 81 females with an average age of 60.1±14.6 years (range: 21-89 years). The body mass index (BMI) was 24.9±4.6 kg/m 2 (range: 17-41 kg/m 2). PJI was diagnosed according to the criteria of Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) in 2011. AKI was diagnosed and classified according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. For AKI group and non-AKI group, risk factors were screened by univariate analysis on their age, gender, BMI, BMI≥30 kg/m 2 (yes/no), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score (II/III), hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), surgical side (left/right), duration of intravenous antibiotic use, duration of intra-articular antibiotic use, preoperative blood transfusion, postoperative blood transfusion, baseline hemoglobin value, anemia grade (none/mild/moderate), baseline serum creatinine value, baseline serum creatinine grade (normal/below normal range/above normal range). Variables with P<0.10 were included in the multivariate logistic regression model to identify independent risk factors. Results:The overall incidence of AKI was 9.52%(16/168), among which 50%(8 cases) were stage I AKI, transient and requiring no special treatment. 12.5% (2 cases) were stage II AKI and did not undergo dialysis. 37.5%(6 cases) were stage III AKI. One case needed temporary hemodialysis, and there was no patient requiring long-term dialysis. There were significant differences in age, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and ASA score between AKI group and non-AKI group ( P<0.05). The univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that there were significant differences in age ( P=0.005), BMI ( P=0.078), ASA score level Ⅲ ( P=0.037), diabetes ( P=0.025), CKD ( P=0.003), and low baseline serum creatinine level ( P=0.056). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, CKD and low baseline serum creatinine level were independent risk factors for AKI ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of AKI after one-stage revision surgery combined with local antibiotic use in the joint cavity was relatively low in the treatment of PJI after total hip arthroplasty. Hower elderly patients with a history of CKD, or a low baseline serum creatinine level before surgery were at higher risk of developing AKI.
