ObjectiveTo evaluate the public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province and provide an optimized pathway for the construction of a “strong, rich, beautiful, and high-quality” new Jiangsu. MethodsA total of 806 policy documents, 658 public information reports, and 148 research literatures related to public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province from January 1995 to December 2023 were collected. The status of current public health goverance was assessed based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems, and the strengths and the weaknesses of the system were identified. ResultsThe public health governance capability of Jiangsu Province was scored at 738.3 points, ranking 3rd nationally. Maternal health care and emergency response capacities achieved leading positions nationwide, both ranking 2nd. Jiangsu had exhibited a standardized guidance in the strategic level, a well-established management mechanism, an extensive coverage in information collection, and a scientifically established health targets setting. However, bottlenecks remained, including an unclear division of responsibilities across organizational departments, an insufficient public-health workforce, the absence of a stable growth mechanism for government funding investment, and difficulties in promptly identifying public needs. ConclusionJiangsu’s public-health system demonstrates leading nationally, yet several components remain underdeveloped. Future efforts should consolidate advantages while addressing weaknesses, further diversify content and forms, establish a stable funding increase mechanism, and clarify departmental functions, thereby providing solid health support for realizing the developmental goals of a “strong, rich, beautiful and high-quality” new Jiangsu.

ObjectiveTo systematically assess the public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province, to conduct an in-depth analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, so as to provide scientific basis and strategic recommendations for further enhancement. MethodsA systematic collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province from 2002 to 2023 was conducted (encompassing a total of 1 263 policy documents, 138 pieces of information reports and 631 research articles). Based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems previously developed by the research team, the basic status and magnitude of change in public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province was evaluated. Additionally, normative gap analyses were employed to identify the strengths and weaknesses. ResultsZhejiang Province ranked 4th nationwide in terms of public health governance capacity with a score of 733.4 points (1 000.0-point maximum). The province has effectively implemented the principle of health first (scoring 698.5 points in the assessment of health-first strategy implementation) and attached sufficient importance to health-related goals (scoring 658.2 points in the scientific rationality of goal setting). However, the implementation of inter-departmental coordination and incentive mechanisms only scored 178.7 points, the feasibility of management and monitoring mechanisms scored even lower at only 144.0 points, and the coverage of incentive mechanisms scored 286.0 points. ConclusionZhejiang Province has effectively implemented its health first strategy and attached great importance to health targets, but still needs to strengthen cross-departmental coordination mechanisms and health-oriented incentives.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with half-dose recombinant staphylokinase(r-SAK)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)who are expected to undergo PCI within 120 minutes.Methods From October 2021 to August 2022,a total of 200 STEMI patients in eight centers were included and randomly assigned in a 1﹕1 ratio to either r-SAK group or control group.Patients received loading doses of aspirin and ticagrelor and intravenous heparin and were randomized to receive an intravenous bolus of either 5 mg r-SAK or normal saline prior to PCI.The outcomes were set as ST-segment resolution(STR)at 60-90 minutes after PCI,the proportion and transition of pathological Q waves on the 5th day after PCI,and the proportion of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)peaking within 12 hours of onset.The safety outcome was major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC)≥type 3 bleeding during hospitalization.Results Compared with the control group,the r-SAK group had a higher proportion of STR≥70%within 60-90 minutes after PCI(58.3%vs.40.3%,P=0.009);a lower proportion of pathological Q waves(59.1%vs.74.1%,P=0.040);a lower rate of Q wave progression(14.8%vs.43.2%,P＜0.001);a higher rate of Q wave disappearance(12.5%vs.3.7%,P=0.027);and a higher proportion of hs-cTnT peaking within 12 hours of symptom onset[31/40(77.5%)vs.17/33(51.5%),P=0.027].Regarding the safety outcome,no significant difference in BARC≥type 3 bleeding was found between the two groups during hospitalization(P＞0.05).Conclusions For STEMI patients who were expected to undergo primary PCI within 120 minutes of symptom onset,the facilitated PCI with half-dose r-SAK significantly increased the proportion of STR≥70%at 60-90 minutes after PCI,reduced the formation of pathological Q waves,and shortened the time to peak hs-cTnT,without increasing the risk of bleeding,which should be an alternative reperfusion strategy worthy of further study.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of dual-low-dose CT energy spectral imaging combined with adaptive statis-tical iterative reconstruction-Veo(ASIR-V)in distinguishing benign and malignant thyroid nodules.Methods A total of 242 patients with thyroid nodules were included.In part Ⅰ,the initial 90 patients were randomly and equally assigned to the conventional scan group,the low radiation dose group,and the dual-low-dose group.Both subjective and objective image qualities,the radiation dose,and contrast agent dosage in these three groups were evaluated,respectively.In part Ⅱ,the remaining 152 patients underwent dual-low-dose CT energy spectral scanning.Radiographic features of thyroid nodules in benign and malinant groups were observed,fol-lowed by spectral imaging analysis.The iodine concentration(IC)value,normalized iodine concentration(NIC)value,effective atomic number(Eff-Z),and λHU value of benign and malignant nodules were measured and compared,respectively.Results There were significant differences in nodule morphology,sign of edge truncation,enhancement characteristics and nodule boundary enhancement between benign and malignant thyroid nodules(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in IC value,NIC value,and λHU value in the venous phase among the three groups(P<0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of IC,NIC,λHU were 81.6%and 60.0%,86.4%and 67.5%,88.8%and 65.0%,respectively.The area under the curve(AUC)of combining the three energy spectral parameters with radiographic fea-tures via binary logistic regression model was 0.905,and the sensitivity and specificity were 82.4%and 87.5%,respectively.The effective dose(ED)in the dual-low-dose group was reduced by 60.13%com-pared to the conventional scan group,and the contrast agent dos-age was reduced by 38.56%.Conclusion The dual-low-dose CT energy spectral imaging combined with ASIR-V significantly reduced the radiation dose and the contrast agent dosage,and might help in distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid nodules,demonstrating considerable clinical application value.

Aim To investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of transient receptor potential cation chan-nel 6(TRPC6)in epileptogenesis using a kainic acid(KA)-induced mouse model.Methods C57BL/6 and TRPC6-KO(KO)mice were divided into two groups and implanted with cannulas for microinjection of KA(0.03 g·L-1,5 μL)into the lateral ventricle to establish the acute epilepsy model group,with saline injection serving as the control group.The Racine score was used to record the uninterrupted seizure grade of mice within two hours after KA administration.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect neuronal loss and tissue damage in the hippocampus brain region of mice.Immunofluorescence staining,Western blot and qPCR were used to detect the expressions of TRPC6,NLRP3,ASC,Caspase-1,p62,Atg7,Atg5,Beclin-1,LC3b-Ⅱ/LC3b-Ⅰ.in the hippocampus.Results KA induced significant neuronal loss and tissue damage in the hippocampal CA3 brain region of epilep-sy mice,while the expression levels of TRPC6,NL-RP3,ASC and Caspase-1 and other proteins in the hippocampus brain area of epilepsy mice increased,and the protein expression of autophagy-related proteins Atg7,Atg5,Beclin-1,LC3b-Ⅱ/LC3b-Ⅰ increased,while the expression of p62 protein decreased.TRPC6 knockout exacerbated KA-induced epileptogenesis,neuronal injury,inflammatory response and autophagy activation.Conclusion TRPC6 is involved in KA-in-duced epileptigenesis,and the mechanism may be re-lated to the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome-autoph-agy signaling caused by TRPC6 deletion.

Objective To analyze the clinical manifestations and genetic etiology of three families with hereditary spastic paraplegia(HSP).Methods Gene analysis was performed on patients of the three HSP families from the Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child-care Hospital.Results The proband of family 1 was autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia type 35 caused by homozygous variant c.159_176delGGCGGGCCAGGACATCAG(p.Arg53_Ser59delinsSer)in FA2H.The proband in family 2 was autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia type 47 caused by homozygous variant c.1399G>T(p.Glu467Ter)in AP4B1,and the proband in family 3 was autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia type 11 caused by homozygous variation c.7023C>G(p.Tyr2341Ter)in SPG11.Among them,the variant c.1399G>T(p.Glu467Ter)of AP4B1 is a novel variant,that has not been reported before,according to the ACMG guidelines,the pathogenicity of this variant is pathogenic.Conclusion This study has expanded the variant spectrum of AP4B1 which provides basic data to improve clinical understanding and diagnostic capabilities of HSP patients.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of the half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo(HASTE)sequence based on deep learning(DL)in pancreatic T2WI.Methods Data were collected from 41 patients who un-derwent both BLADE and DL-HASTE sequence scans during pancreatic T2WI at some hospital from February to July 2023.Qualitative assessments were made regarding overall image quality,pancreatic edge sharpness,pancreatic duct edge sharp-ness,pancreatic duct visua-lization(proximal,middle and distal segments)and lesion visibility of BLADE-sequence and DL-HASTE-sequence images.Quantitative assessments were carried out in terms of scan time,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR).Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 24.0.Results DL-HASTE sequence behaved significantly better than BLADE in pancreatic duct edge sharpness,pancreatic duct visualization,lesion visibility,scan time and CNR,while worse in pane-reatic edge sharpness(all P＜0.05).There were significant differences between DL-HASTE and BLADE sequences in overall image quality and SNR(all P＞0.05).Conclusion The DL-HASTE sequence maintains image quality while significantly shor-tening scan time,making it suitable for patients with irregular respiratory rates.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(3):59-63]

ObjectiveTo analyze the changes in the degree of coordination of China's major epidemic prevention and control efforts before and after the outbreak of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), so as to explore the impact of epidemic prevention and control measures on coordination dynamics. MethodsA total of 3 864 policy documents related to epidemic prevention and control from January 2000 to December 2020 across 31 provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities) in China were systematically collected. Contents specific to collaborative and cooperative efforts were extracted, and the extent of interdepartmental coordination were quantified to assess the effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control efforts. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was adopted to statistically analyze the differences between the indicators before and after the epidemic. ResultsThe average overall coordination level for major epidemic prevention and control in 31 provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities) increased from 43.06% to 97.62%, and the average coordination levels in the eastern, central, and western China soared from 42.29%, 37.50%, and 47.46%, to 98.81%, 96.20%, and 97.46%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). In terms of department categorization, coordination levels in the professional departments and the key support departments peaked at 100.00%, while other support departments rose to 95.43%, with an increase of 77.15%, 181.85%, and 139.89%, respectively, exhibiting noteworthy statistically significant differences (all P<0.001). ConclusionThe scope of coordination departments of China’s major epidemic prevention and control exists a remarkable surge following the COVID-19 outbreak, notable heightened coordination is particularly observed among the key support departments. Future endeavors should prioritize the roles played by diverse departments in epidemic prevention and control, enhancing both the clarity of departmental responsibilities and the effectiveness of interdepartmental coordination.
