Objective:To conduct bioinformatics analysis by detecting and screening differentially expressed miRNAs in urine exosomes of subjects with damp heat IgA nephropathy, non damp heat IgA nephropathy, and healthy individuals; To explore the role of miRNAs in renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to select 40 subjects with primary IgA nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University from November 2021 to February 2023, who were divided into damp-heat group and non-damp-heat group according to TCM constitution, with 20 cases in each group; 10 healthy subjects were also recruited for control observation.High-speed centrifugation and Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology were used to isolate and detect the expression of miRNA in urine exosomes from three groups of people, and their differential expression profiles were constructed. Bioinformatics analysis was performed on differentially expressed genes to determine the main biological functions of differentially expressed miRNAs and the signaling pathways they may participate in.Results:Compared with the non-damp heat group, there were 231 miRNAs with abnormal expression in the urine exosomes of the damp heat group, including 119 up-regulated and 112 down-regulated. Through GO enrichment and KEGG analysis, differentially expressed miRNAs may participate in the occurrence and development of renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis through MAPK signaling pathway, PI3K Akt signaling pathway, Hippo signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, etc., involving biological processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell deformation (EMT), migration and invasion, and tissue and organ fibrosis. MiR-29c-3p expression levels in the urinary exosome miRNA expression profiles of subjects in the three groups were lower in the damp-heat group, but higher in the non-damp-heat group versus the healthy control group, of which, the damp-heat group was lower than the non-damp-heat group versus the healthy control group ( P<0.01); there was no significant difference between the healthy control group and the non-damp-heat group ( P>0.05）. Conclusion:The expression profile of miRNAs in the urine exosomes of subjects with damp heat IgA nephropathy showed significant changes,that the significant down-regulation of miR-29c-3p may be a key factor in exacerbating tubulointerstitial fibrosis in IgA nephropathy.

Objective To construct an evaluation index system for the technical labor value of operators of large-scale medical equipment and conduct a practical measurement of it.Methods The literature survey method and semi-structured interview were used to preliminarily construct the evaluation index framework.The questionnaire survey method and expert consultation method were employed to screen and determine the final evaluation index system,and the entropy method was used to calculate the weight of each evaluation index.Based on the KANO model,the evaluation requirements of the technical labor value of MRI operators were investigated.Results The final expert authority coefficient of the consultation questionnaire was 0.80;the chi-square test results of Kendall's W coefficient were all statistically significant differences(P＜0.05);finally,5 first-level indicators,13 second-level indicators,and 22 third-level indicators were screened out,jointly forming the evaluation index system.The Cronbach's coefficients of the positive and negative questionnaires in the reliability analysis of the KANO model were 0.953 and 0.983 respectively;MRI operators perceived that the cerebral thinking load,the steps taken to operate the imaging equipment,and the difficulty in interpreting imaging results were more reflective of the value of their technical labor.Conclusion The evaluation index system of technical labor value of large medical equipment operators has been scientifically constructed to provide theoretical support for improving the performance evaluation system of large medical equipment operators.

Objective To identify the key influencing factors and role mechanisms of large-scale medical equip-ment allocation decision-making in public hospitals,and to provide a reference basis for optimizing resource alloca-tion strategies.Methods Through searching the literature related to large-scale medical equipment decision-making in public hospitals and combing the policies,the system of decision-making influencing factors was initially screened.The Delphi method and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory method were used to obtain the key influencing factors of equipment allocation decision-making and to determine the interaction effects among the factors.Results A total of seven cause factors and nine effect factors were screened.Among them,cost-benefit analysis,equipment technical performance,and evaluation of similar equipment were the top three key drivers;leadership emphasis,equipment market price,and equipment supporting facilities were the top three key con-straints.Conclusion Priority be given to strengthening the management of driving factors,mainly by conducting a full-cycle assessment of cost-effectiveness,paying attention to the clinical value output of equipment technical performance,and monitoring regionally similar equipment.A dynamic response mechanism for constraints should be established,mainly to strengthen leadership decision-making,implement a centralized procurement price nego-tiation model and improve the pre-assessment system for ancillary facilities.

Promoting whole life cycle management of large medical equipment is a crucial initiative to enhance hospital operational efficiency and service quality.It adopts the full life cycle theoretical,focusing on analyzing key operational issues in configuration planning,procurement,utilization,maintenance,and decommissioning during the planning,implementation,and decline phases of large medical equipment.Through in-depth analysis of these issues,the research proposes corresponding strategies:establishing multi-stakeholder participation mechanisms and equipment utilization protocols during the planning phase;improving allocation and performance evaluation mechanisms during the implementation phase;and scientifically standardizing maintenance and retirement procedures during the decline phase.These recommendations provide theoretical support and practical guidance for public hospitals to achieve lean operation of large medical equipment.

Melatonin is widely used as an over-the-counter medication to treat insomnia in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and neurogenetic disorders (NGD). However, there is still a lack of research on its efficacy and safety, and clinical practice standards are to be established. In response, the International Pediatric Sleep Association (IPSA) convened an expert panel and developed a consensus statement:"Melatonin Use in Managing Insomnia in Children with Autism and Other Neurogenetic Disorders-an Assessment by the International Pediatric Sleep Association (IPSA)", which was published in Sleep Medicine, April 2024. The consensus focused on the efficacy and adverse effects of melatonin treatment for insomnia in children with ASD and NGD-including Smith-Magenis syndrome, Rett syndrome, Angelman syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis complex. It systematically reviews randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted between 2012 and 2022, and integrates current best clinical practices to formulate 10 consensus recommendations. Despite these contributions, the consensus has limitations: a small number of included RCTs, a lack of grading for evidence quality, and recommendation strength. Furthermore, the study population is primarily composed of children from Western countries. This article seeks to interpret the consensus to improve standardized use of melatonin for insomnia in Chinese children with ASD and NGD, and to provide a reference for the future development of localized evidence-based guidelines.
