Objective To address personnel management challenges in large comprehensive hospitals by developing a comprehensive personnel information management system for refined multi-campus administration.Methods A centralized data-base was employed to construct a personnel information management system compatible with both"interactive management"and"independent management"modes.The system progressively implemented functions including personnel information manage-ment,meal card and subsidy administration,and shift scheduling.Results The system achieved effective interconnections be-tween subsystems,significantly improving personnel management efficiency,data governance,risk prevention capabilities,and operational decision-making.Personnel data were efficiently utilized across multiple scenarios.Conclusion The multi-campus comprehensive personnel information management system meets the refined requirements of multi-campus personnel administration and provides valuable experience for the development and expansion of subsequent hospital operation management information sys-tems.

Cemental tear is a rare and indetectable condition unless obvious clinical signs present with the involvement of surrounding periodontal and periapical tissues. Due to its clinical manifestations similar to common dental issues, such as vertical root fracture, primary endodontic diseases, and periodontal diseases, as well as the low awareness of cemental tear for clinicians, misdiagnosis often occurs. The critical principle for cemental tear treatment is to remove torn fragments, and overlooking fragments leads to futile therapy, which could deteriorate the conditions of the affected teeth. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and subsequent appropriate interventions are vital for managing cemental tear. Novel diagnostic tools, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), microscopes, and enamel matrix derivatives, have improved early detection and management, enhancing tooth retention. The implementation of standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols, combined with improved clinical awareness among dental professionals, serves to mitigate risks of diagnostic errors and suboptimal therapeutic interventions. This expert consensus reviewed the epidemiology, pathogenesis, potential predisposing factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cemental tear, aiming to provide a clinical guideline and facilitate clinicians to have a better understanding of cemental tear.

The operating room is the core settings of various surgical treatments, and exhibits distinct attributes and systemic complexities. Medical staff who work long term in operating rooms face multiple exposures to potential health hazards. Especially with the progress of electrosurgical technology and the frequent use of electrosurgical equipment, the possible health effects of the resulting electrosurgical smoke to those working in operating rooms have gradually attracted attention. This paper reviewed the composition, hazard, exposure risk monitoring, and protective measures of electrosurgical smoke, aiming to deepen the understandings of potential health risks of electrosurgical smoke, improve the self-protection awareness of medical staff, strengthen attention to electrosurgical smoke protection in all hospitals, and ensure the occupational safety of medical staff.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Fuzheng Yangxin Prescription in improving cardiac function in rats with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF)through regulation of AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.Methods An HFrEF rat model was established via left anterior descending coronary artery ligation.Rats were randomized divided into sham-operation group,model group,Fuzheng Yangxin Prescription group and Entresto group,followed by 28 days of intervention.Echocardiography was used to measure left ventricular internal dimension at end-systole(LVIDs),left ventricular internal dimension at end-diastole(LVIDd),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS),HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe myocardial morphology and fibrosis,serum contents of NT-proBNP and inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6)were detected by ELISA,Western blot was performed to analyze p-AMPK,p-mTOR and protein expressions of autophagy markers(Beclin1,LC3,p62).Results Compared with sham-operation group,the LVIDs and LVIDd in model group significantly increased(P<0.05),while LVEF and LVFS significantly decreased(P<0.05),the structure of myocardial cells was disordered and arranged loosely,the deposition of collagen fibers in the infarct area was increased,and the contents of NT-proBNP,TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 in serum significantly increased(P<0.05),the protein expressions of p-AMPK,Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ in myocardial tissue significantly decreased(P<0.05),while the protein expressions of p-mTOR and p62 significantly increased(P<0.05);compared with the model group,the LVIDs and LVIDd of rats in Fuzheng Yangxin Prescription group significantly decreased(P<0.05),the LVEF and LVFS were significantly increased(P<0.05),the disorder of myocardial cell arrangement and fibrosis were alleviated,the contents of NT-proBNP,TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 in serum significantly decreased(P<0.05),the protein expressions of p-AMPK,Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ in myocardial tissue significantly increased(P<0.05),while the protein expressions of p-mTOR and p62 significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Fuzheng Yangxin Prescription may regulate autophagy by activating AMPK/mTOR pathway and improve cardiac function in HFrEF rats.

Objective To investigate the value of triglyceride glucose-body mass index(TyG-BMI)index in predicting the severity of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis(HLAP).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 185 patients with HLAP who were admitted to Tianyou Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology from January 2021 to December 2023,and according to the revised Atlanta classification criteria for acute pancreatitis,they were divided into mild group with 95 patients and moderate or severe group with 90 patients.Clinical features were compared between the two groups to analyze the correlation between TyG-BMI and the severity of HLAP,and the efficacy of TyG-BMI in predicting the severity of HLAP was analyzed.The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups,and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the influencing factors for the severity of HLAP.A Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between TyG-BMI and the severity of HLAP,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the efficacy of TyG-BMI in predicting the severity of HLAP.Results There were significant differences between the mild group and the moderate or severe group in creatinine,blood glucose(GLU),triglyceride,TyG-BMI,and Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis(BISAP)score(Z=-2.059,-7.217,-7.799,-9.566 and-11.386,all P<0.05).The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that BISAP score(odds ratio[OR]=4.221,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.421-12.538,P=0.001),TyG-BMI(OR=1.262,95%CI:1.140-1.396,P=0.010),and GLU(OR=1.316,95%CI:1.040-1.666,P=0.022)were independent risk factors for the severity of HLAP and were positively correlated with the severity of HLAP(r=0.839,0.705,and 0.532,all P<0.05).In the comparison of the efficacy of these indicators in predicting the severity of HLAP,TyG-BMI had a slightly lower efficacy than BISAP score(Z=-4.368,P<0.001)and a significantly better efficacy than GLU(Z=2.155,P<0.001),with an area under the ROC curve of 0.891,a sensitivity of 91.10%,and a specificity of 96.80%.Conclusion TyG-BMI index has a certain value in predicting the severity of HLAP and can be used in clinical comprehensive assessment of HLAP.
