The optimal operation room cooling source can be selected to save energy in the whole hospital life cycle ac-cording to special cooling load characteristics of specialized hospital.This paper demonstrates the energy-saving performance of the system of water-cooled and air-cooled dual cooling source based on theoretical analysis.Taking the operation room of Zhongs-han Ophthalmic Center,Sun Yat-sen University as an example,the energy consumption data is analyzed under different season and different chilled water temperature of the transformed dual cooling source operation room.It is proposed that utilizing central-ized water-cooling system may not be more energy saving than the that of individual air-cooling system during transitional season or winter,and the vertical temperature rise and cold loss of chilled water should be considered as well,providing a reference for the dual cooling source in domestic specialized operation rooms.

[Objective]Childhood trauma(CT)is considered one of the major risk factors for developing major depres-sive disorder(MDD)in adulthood.However,the neural basis of MDD patients with CT(CT-MDD)remains poorly under-stood.Therefore,the objective of our study is to explore the resting-state global brain functional connectivity(FC)in CT-MDD.[Methods]A total of 34 CT-MDD and 34 healthy controls performed resting-state fMRI.Whole-brain voxel-level degree centrality(DC)analysis was performed,and the brain regions with significant differences between the two groups were selected as region of interest(ROI)for further estimating the global brain FC.Subsequently,correlation analysis was performed between DC values,FC values in abnormal brain areas and clinical characteristics.[Results]The CT-MDD group showed increased DC value of the right middle frontal gyrus(MFG)compared with the healthy controls.Seed-based FC revealed that the CT-MDD group showed increased connections between the left precuneus and the right MFG or the right medial prefrontal cortex,relative to healthy controls(threshold at P<0.05).Additionally,the DC value of the right MFG was correlated with the severity of CT.[Conclusion]Our results show the increased FC between the left precuneus and the ROI(right MFG)as well as the right medial prefrontal cortex,which are two important brain regions within the de-fault mode network(DMN),and might suggest increased synchronism between the cognitive executive networks and DMN in CT-MDD.These findings may provide insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying CT-MDD.

Objective:To explore the effect of early eschar dermabrasion combined with antimicrobial soft silicone foam dressing (hereinafter referred to as foam dressing) in treating the deep partial-thickness burn wounds in children.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. From June 2021 to December 2022, 78 pediatric patients with deep partial-thickness burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Burns in Guiyang Steel Plant Employees Hospital. According to the random number table, the pediatric patients were divided into two groups, with 38 cases left in combined treatment group (with 20 males and 18 females, aged 26.00 (16.75, 39.75) months) and 39 cases in foam dressing group (with 21 males and 18 females, aged 19.00 (14.00, 31.00) months) after the exclusion of one dropped-out child in follow-up. The pediatric patients in combined treatment group underwent eschar dermabrasion of the wound within 48 hours after injury, the wound was covered with foam dressing after operation, and the dressing was replaced once every 7 days; for the pediatric patients in foam dressing group, the wound was sterilized within 48 hours after injury and covered with foam dressing, and the dressing was replaced once every 2 to 3 days. After the wound healing, the children in both groups were routinely applied with silicone gel twice a day for 3 weeks before started wearing elastic sleeves for more than 18 hours a day, and continuously for over than 6 months. The degree of pain during dressing change was evaluated using the children's pain behavior inventory FLACC. The adverse reactions during the treatment period, number of dressing changes, and wound healing time were observed and recorded. Six months after wound healing, the Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the condition of the wound scar.Results:When changing dressing, the FLACC score for pain of pediatric patients in combined treatment group was 3.5 (2.0, 5.0), which was significantly lower than 6.0 (5.0, 8.0) in foam dressing group ( Z=-5.40, P<0.05). During the treatment period, no adverse reactions such as wound edema, fluid accumulation, or peripheral skin rash allergies occurred in any pediatric patient in both groups. The number of dressing changes of pediatric patients in combined treatment group was 3 (3, 4) times, which was significantly less than 8 (7, 10) times in foam dressing group ( Z=-7.58, P<0.05). The wound healing time of pediatric patients in combined treatment group was (19±5) days, which was significantly shorter than (25±6) days in foam dressing group ( t=-4.48, P<0.05). Six months after wound healing, the VSS score for scar of pediatric patients in combined treatment group was 5 (2, 8), which was significantly lower than 7 (5, 10) in foam dressing group ( Z=-3.05, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with using foam dressings alone, early eschar dermabrasion combined with foam dressings can reduce the number of dressing changes, alleviate the pain during dressing changes, and shorten the wound healing time in treating children with deep partial-thickness burns, and effectively alleviate scar hyperplasia by combining with anti-scar treatment post burns.

In recent years, public hospitals have been facing pressure from the reform of medical insurance payment methods. It is urgent to strengthen the operation and management of public hospitals. In June 2022, a tertiary public hospital utilized hospital intelligent agents to carry out refined cost management practices for medical service charging projects, sorted out medical service charging projects, designed management paths, and calculated project costs. The hospital conducted refined management on the cost of medical service charging items from three control dimensions of project unit cost with manpower, equipment and consumables, and two comparative directions with horizontal and vertical. The refined cost management practice not only pointted out the direction for global refinement cost control within the hospital, but also reduced the proportion of hospital consumption, which provided reference for improving the level of refined operation and management of public hospital hospitals.

Objective:To analyze the cost of diagnosis-intervention packet(DIP) in a certain hospital in 2021 based on hospital intelligent agents, so as to provide feasible ideas for refined management of DIP costs.Methods:On the basis of the construction of the hospital intelligent agent platform and the results of project cost accounting in the early stage, a total of 60 187 cases and 4 860 DIP diseases in the hospital in 2021 were selected as the research objects. The project superposition method was applied to calculate the unit cost of all DIP diseases in the hospital. Based on the results of DIP cost accounting, the ideas and methods of fine management of DIP costs were explored from the perspectives of DIP disease classification, management of all hospital diseases and medical insurance diseases, vertical and horizontal comparative analysis of DIP costs, and management of medical insurance cases and non medical insurance cases under the same DIP disease category.Results:Twenty-two advantageous DIP disease types, 67 key disease types, 1 590 potential disease types, and 3 181 disadvantageous disease types were identified. Introducing medical income as an intermediate indicator facilitated the classification of DIP disease types under medical insurance, 1 072 advantageous disease types, 917 key disease types, 458 potential disease types, and 815 disadvantageous disease types in medical insurance were identified. Through refined accounting, it was found that the average cost of non medical insurance cases under the same DIP disease category was generally higher than that of medical insurance cases, and there were differences in DIP costs at different levels during different time periods.Conclusions:By determining and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of disease types in the entire hospital, common problems of disease types under the same category can be identified, and targeted control measures can be proposed. By analyzing the two dimensions of medical insurance surplus and medical surplus, the advantages and disadvantages of medical insurance diseases can be quickly determined, providing a lever for the control of medical insurance diseases. The horizontal and vertical comparative analysis of DIP costs, as well as the analysis of medical insurance cases and non medical insurance cases under the same DIP disease category, can provide feasible methods for hospitals to manage DIP costs at multiple levels and dimensions.

Objective:To explore the brain structural changes in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after traffic accident.Methods:Forty-six patients with PTSD (PTSD group) who received treatment in Psychology Department, Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province from January 2021 to June 2022 after traffic accidents and 49 gender- and age-matched normal healthy subjects (control group) were selected; all subjects underwent MRI 3D-T1WI structural imaging of the whole brain. Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was used to detect the volume differences of the gray matter between the two groups. The correlations of volumes of the gray matter in PTSD group which was different from that in the control group with Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS), PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) were analyzed.Results:Compared with control group, patients in PTSD group had significantly decreased gray matter volumes in the left hippocampus, left postcentral gyrus and right superior frontal gyrus ( P<0.001, adjusted GRF); no regions with increased gray matter volumes were noted. The gray matter volume in the left postcentral gyrus was negatively correlated with CAPS scores in PTSD patients ( r=-0.443, P=0.002); the gray matter volumes in other brain regions with differences were not correlated with CAPS, PCL-C or HAMD scores ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Structural changes of the left hippocampus, left postcentral gyrus and right superior frontal gyrus are observed in PTSD patients caused by traffic accidents, and the gray matter volume of left postcentral gyrus is related to severity of PTSD clinical symptoms.

Application of new technical means and methods and in-depth exploration in medical service scenarios, for improving the efficiency and quality of diagnosis and treatment, improving the operation and management level and patient′s medical experience are the goals aimed by smart hospitals. Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital, based on the technical framework of hospital intelligent twins, was exploring to build an all-scenario smart hospital. The hospital built an intelligent operations center, all-scenario smart wards and a smart security and fire protection integrated management center. These practices promoted the service synergy, provided efficient internet of everything experience, and promoted the integrated linkage management of security and fire protection. The hospital effective resolved such deficiencies as insufficient data connectivity, fragmented application scenarios, limited coverage and poor mobility, hence providing reference for the construction and application of whole-scenario smart hospitals.

Technical framework is centered on top-level design of smart hospitals. Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital adopted hospital intelligent twins as its technical framework of the all-scenario intelligent construction. Its construction practices covered four layers of intelligent interaction, intelligent connection, intelligent hub and intelligent application. These practices can advance the construction of smart hospitals into the all-scenario intelligent stage, featuring intelligent medical treatment, intelligent service and intelligent management, thus providing reference for promoting the construction of smart hospitals and realizing the digital transformation of medical industry.

In the new era, enhanced Party construction of public hospitals is the fundamental assurance for the success of Healthy China strategy. Based on field survey, in-depth interview, literature review and promotion of pilot practices, the Hospital Party Construction Guidance Committee of Guangdong Province staged a " Four Virtues" program to enhance Party construction at public hospitals in the healthcare system of the province. This program, featuring " leadership competency" , " Party branch capability" , " Party construction branding" , and " Unit showcases" , aims at the limited implementation and homogenization problems commonly found in Party construction at public hospitals. Promotion of successful pilot practices of several public hospitals effectively encouraged the " parallel development" of both medical service and Party construction, providing useful references for the hospitals in their reform/development and Party construction in the new era.

Strategies in comprehensive therapy for gastrointestinal (GI) cancer have been optimized in the last decades to improve patients' outcomes. However, treatment options remain limited for late-stage or refractory diseases. The efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for treatment of refractory GI cancer has been confirmed by randomized clinical trials. In 2017, pembrolizumab was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as the first agent for treatment of metastatic solid tumors with mismatch repair deficiency, especially for colorectal cancer. Given the different mechanisms, oncologists have focused on determining whether ICIs-based combination strategies could achieve higher efficacy than conventional therapy alone in late-stage or even front-line treatment of GI cancer. This review discusses the current status of combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with molecular targeted therapy, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy in GI cancer in terms of mechanisms, safety, and efficacy to provide basis for future research.
