Objective:
To construct an evaluation index system of public health emergency preparedness capacity in county-level centers for disease control and prevention (CDC), so as to provide the evidence for improving the public health emergency preparedness capacity in county-level CDC.
Methods:
An index system framework was created based on review of health emergency policies, laws and regulations released in China from 2003 to 2023. The importance, sensitivity and accessibility of indicators were scored and screened through two rounds of Delphi expert consultations, and the weights of indicators were calculated using precedence charts. The efficiency of Delphi expert consultations was evaluated using the active coefficient, authority coefficient and coordination coefficient.
Results:
Eighteen experts participated in consultations, including 9 men, 15 with educational levels of master degree and higher, 12 with preventive medicine or public health as the specialty, and 12 with deputy senior professional titles and higher. The active coefficients of two rounds of consultations were 100.00% and 94.44%, and the authority coefficients were 0.83 and 0.84, respectively. The coordination coefficients of secondary and tertiary indicators during the second round consultation were 0.341 and 0.241, which were both higher than those during the first round (both P<0.05). The final evaluation index system included 8 primary indicators, 21 secondary indicators and 58 tertiary indicators. Among primary indicators, health emergency organization and management (0.203 1), health emergency team building (0.203 1) and financial support for health emergency (0.203 1) had the highest weights, and of secondary indicators, completion degree of health emergency administration regulations (initial weight/global weight: 0.750 0/0.152 3), health emergency team building (0.750 0/0.152 3) and financial support for emergency (0.750 0/0.152 3) had the highest weights, while among tertiary indicators, defining the duty of health emergency administration sectors had the highest weight (0.750 0/0.114 2).
Conclusion
The created evaluation index system is feasible for evaluation of the public health emergency preparedness capacity in county-level CDC.

Objective:To identify the key convergence points in the medical-nursing combined care among literature, and establish a mechanism for medical-nursing combined care integration from the perspective of the synergy theory, for the purpose of promoting the integrated development of such care in China.Methods:Relevant literature on the medical-nursing combined care were retrieved from the CNKI database from September 2013 to September 2021. The search formula used was TI= "the medical-nursing care integration" AND SU=(convergence+ transformation+ coordination+ mechanism), while supplementary searches were made using " pkulaw.com database" and Baidu Scholar database. The method of literature content analysis was used to screen key points of the medical-nursing combined care, and the convergence mechanism was built based on the perspective of the synergy theory.Results:A total of 42 literatures were included in this study, 8 key convergence points of medica-nursing combined care integration were identified. Namely the 4 key horizontal convergence points of medical care, aging care, rehabilitation and nursing, the 3 key vertical convergence points of home care, institution care and community care, and the one key convergence point of institutional medical care. Based on the synergy theory and the 8 key convergence points, the " 431" convergence mechanism of medical-nursing combined care was constructed. This mechanism refered to the horizontal linkage of healthcare, nursing, rehabilitation and aging care, the vertical redirection among home care, institution care and community care modes, and the development mode focusing on institutional aging care.Conclusions:At present, the poor convergence between aging care and nursing care in China is a key roadblock hindering the integrated development of aging and nursing care. Medical-nursing combined care should be conducive to the " 431" convergence development, achieving horizontal linkage, vertical redirection, and resource sharing, for the purpose of high-quality development of China′s aging care system.

Objective To study the clinical, endoscopic and pathological features of gastrointestinal and mesenteric reactive nodular fibrous pseudotumor (RNFPT). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on data of 24 RNFPT patients in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital admitted from October 2008 to June 2016. The clinical, endoscopic, pathological and immunohistochemical characteristics were analyzed. Results Among the 24 patients, 16 complained about discomfort in the upper abdomen and 10 had a history of surgery or trauma. Twenty-one had isolated masses and 3 had multiple masses, with diameter of 0. 5-4. 0 cm. Endoscopically, the tumors were mainly hard submucosal masses with broad base, and smooth surface with no mucosal bridge. Seventeen patients underwent endoscopic ultrasonography, which showed low echoes in lesions and nonuniform echoes partly. Among them, 13 lesions derived from muscularis, 4 others from submucosa. Microscopically, the tumors had clear boundary with no envelope, and most areas showed disorderly arranged spindle cells and extensively collagenous degenerated mesenchyma. The spindle cells had shuttle fibroblast-like morphology and elongated nucleus with no visible necrosis or mitosis. Inflammatory cells scattered between the tumor cells, and lymphoid follicles and calcium deposition could be seen in local areas. Immunohistochemically, SMA was focally positive in 7 cases and only 4 cases expressed CD117 scattered. Desmin, Dog-1, CD34, ALK-1 and S-100 were all negative, and Ki-67 proliferation index was lower than 1%. Conclusion RNFPT has diverse clinical manifestations, with a good prognosis and unlikely recurrences, and should be distinguished from spindle cell tumors.
