The"capitation payment with retained surplus and shared accountability for reasonable overruns"mechanism constitutes a pivotal institutional framework for advancing the high-quality development of County Medical Communities(CMCs).This study addresses two critical operational challenges:identifying the sources of medical insurance fund surplus and optimizing the governance of fund retention processes.Grounded in transaction cost theory,we develop an analytical framework examining the formation of medical insurance fund surplus through the dual lenses of intra-organizational dynamics within CMCs and external medical insurance payment mechanism design.Utilizing Deqing County,Zhejiang Province as an empirical case,this research proposes a five-pronged strategy:Clarifying generation channels of insurance fund surplus,scientifically determining regional medical insurance budgets,implementing bundled payment mechanisms for CMCs,adopting hybrid payment models integrating unified and differentiated approaches,and establishing performance-based incentive systems.These findings elucidate the formative pathways of medical insurance fund surplus while offering theoretical and practical insights for enhancing payment system reforms to support CMC development.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and associated factors of malocclusion among preschool children in Fengxian District, Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for local medical and public health departments to formulate targeted interventions. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from September to December 2024. A total of 1 172 children aged 3‒5 years were recruited from 10 kindergartens across 5 townships in Fengxian District, using stratified cluster random sampling method. Clinical examinations were conducted to record occlusal parameters such as the relationship of the second deciduous molars, canine teeth relationship, anterior overbite and overjet, anterior and posterior crossbite, and crowded dentition. A questionnaire survey was performed to the parents to collect information on factors influencing malocclusion, including genetic predisposition, poor oral habits, dietary patterns, and sleep-related breathing conditions. Data were statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27 software, with chi-square test for categorical data and binary logistic regression analysis for influencing factors. ResultsThe overall prevalence of malocclusion among 3‒5-year-old children in Fengxian District of Shanghai was 70.73%, with no statistically significant differences between genders (P>0.05). Deep overbite accounted for the highest proportion (49.66%), followed by Angle Class Ⅱ malocclusion of the second deciduous molars (17.83% on the left, 19.11% on the right), midline deviation (13.23%), anterior crossbite (6.74%), and crowding of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth (16.38% for the maxillary dentition, 17.58% for the mandibular dentition). Multivariate analyses showed that habitual mouth breathing during the day (OR=0.509, P=0.009) and morning dry mouth upon waking (OR=1.455, P=0.023) were independent influencing factors for malocclusion. ConclusionThe prevalence of malocclusion is relatively high among preschool children in Fengxian District, Shanghai,with deep overbite being the dominant trait. Sleep-related breathing conditions (such as habitual mouth breathing during the day and morning dry mouth) is an important influencing factor for malocclusion. Public health authorities should strengthen oral health education and promote the correction of bad habits to reduce the prevalence of malocclusion and improve children’s oral health.

Total laryngectomy is a crucial surgical intervention for patients with advanced malignant tumors of the larynx and nasopharynx. Despite its effectiveness, this procedure permanently severs the connection between the nasal cavity and the lower respiratory tract, leading to the cessation of nasal airflow. This disruption significantly impairs the patient's sense of smell and adversely affects their quality of life. Although olfactory loss is common in these patients, the assessment and rehabilitation of their olfactory function are often overlooked. This article reviews relevant literature on evaluating olfactory function and rehabilitation methods following total laryngectomy, with the aim of providing a theoretical foundation to enhance olfactory rehabilitation and overall quality of life for these patients.

Noise-induced hearing loss is a worldwide public health issue that is characterized by temporary or permanent changes in hearing sensitivity. This condition is closely linked to inflammatory responses, and interventions targeting the inflammatory gene tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) are known to mitigate cochlear noise damage. TNFα-induced proteins (TNFAIPs) are a family of translucent acidic proteins, and TNFAIP6 has a notable association with inflammatory responses. To date, there have been few reports on TNFAIP6 levels in the inner ear. To elucidate the precise mechanism, we generated transgenic mouse models with conditional knockout of Tnfaip6 (Tnfaip6 cKO). Evaluation of hair cell morphology and function revealed no significant differences in hair cell numbers or ribbon synapses between Tnfaip6 cKO and wild-type mice. Moreover, there were no notable variations in hair cell numbers or hearing function in noisy environments. Our results indicate that Tnfaip6 does not have a substantial impact on the auditory system.

To explore the common irritant components in different base sources of Polygonati Rhizoma(PR). A rabbit eye irritation experiment was conducted to compare the irritant effects of raw products of Polygonatum kingianum, P. officinale, and P. multiflorum. The irritant effects of different solvent extraction parts and needle crystals of PR were compared, and the irritant components were screened. The morphology and structure of the purified needle crystal of PR were observed by microscope and scanning electron microscope and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Rabbit eye irritation and mouse abdominal inflammation model were used to evaluate rabbit eye irritation scores, inflammatory mediators, inflammatory factors levels in the peritoneal exudate of mice, with the peritoneal pathological section used as indicators. The inflammatory effect of needle crystals of PR was studied, and the content of calcium oxalate in three kinds of PR was determined by HPLC. The common protein in three kinds of PR was screened and compared by double enzymatic hydrolysis in solution combined with mass spectrometry. The results showed that three kinds of PR raw products had certain irritant effects on rabbit eyes, among which P. kingianum had the strongest irritant effect. There were no obvious irritant effects in the different solvent extraction parts of P. kingianum. Compared with the blank group, the needle crystal of PR had a significant irritant effect on rabbit eyes, and the inflammatory mediators and inflammatory factors in the peritoneal exudate were significantly increased(P<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, the peritoneal tissue of mice was damaged with significant inflammatory cell infiltration after intraperitoneal injection of needle crystal, indicating that needle crystal had an inflammatory effect. Microscope and scanning electron microscope observations showed that the needle crystals of PR were slender, with a length of about 100-200 μm and sharp ends. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the needle crystals of PR were calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals. The results of HPLC showed that the content of calcium oxalate in P. kingianum was the highest among the three kinds of PR. It was speculated that the content of needle crystal in P. kingianum was higher than that in P. officinale and P. multiflorum, which was consistent with the results of the rabbit eye irritation experiment. The results of mass spectrometry showed that ribosome inactivating protein and mannose/sialic acid binding lectin were related to inflammation and cell metabolism in all three kinds of PR. There was no obvious irritant effect in different solvent extracts of PR. The calcium oxalate needle crystal contained was the main irritant component of PR, and three kinds of PR contained common ribosome inactivating protein and mannose/sialic acid binding lectin, which may be related to the inflammatory irritant effect of PR.

Objective:To investigate the effects of two anastomosis methods on perioperative and pathological outcomes during totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (TLRH).Methods:In a national multicenter snapshot study, 1,854 patients who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy were enrolled from 52 tertiary hospitals across China. The post-hoc analysis based on this study compared the data of 303 patients who underwent TLRH. Patients were divided into the antiperistaltic group (33 cases) and the isoperistaltic group (270 cases) according to type of anastomosis. Due to the significant difference in sample size between the two groups, propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to eliminate the influence of baseline characteristic discrepancies. The matching was based on the following known confounding factors: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), history of abdominal surgery, and history of diabetes, with a caliper value of 0.2. Perioperative and pathological outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:After PSM, 33 patients were included in the antiperistaltic group and 65 patients in the isoperistaltic group. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of operation time, blood loss, time to first defecation, time to first oral intake, or the incidence and grading of complications either (all P>0.05). However, length of postoperative hospital stay in the isoperistaltic group was significantly shorter than that in the antiperistaltic group, however (7.0 [6.0, 9.0] days vs. 8.0 [7.0, 10.5] days, P=0.049). In terms of pathological outcomes, there were also no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the number of harvested lymph nodes or the number of positive lymph nodes (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The two digestive tract reconstruction modalities, antiperistaltic and isoperistaltic anastomosis, have comparable perioperative safety and efficacy in TLRH. The isoperistaltic group had better outcomes in terms of postoperative hospital stay.
