Objective To develop a refined management model for operating rooms and assess its clinical impact on op-erational efficiency and cost control.Methods The study included 10,728 elective surgeries from January to June 2024 as the study group and 9 414 elective surgeries from January to June 2023 as the control group.The differences in operational metrics before and after implementing the refined management model were compared.The model was developed through comprehensive management by hospital leadership and multi-department collaboration,focusing on management structure,systems,processes,information technology,and resource allocation.Results In terms of efficiency,the on-time start rate of the first surgeries in the study group was significantly higher than in the control group(P＜0.05).The turnover time between surgeries was shorter in the study group(P＜0.01),and the rate of unexpected surgery cancellations was lower(P＜0.01).The average cost per surgery for consumables,excluding the impact of centralized procurement of consumables,was approximately 971 yuan,representing an 11% reduction compared to the previous year,despite a 14% increase in surgical volume.The average daily operating cost per operating room was about 12 303 yuan,a 7% reduction.Economic benefits increased by 8.43 million yuan,a 38% year-on-year increase.Conclusion Implementing a refined management model in operating rooms can significantly enhance efficiency,re-duce costs,and achieve dual improvements in social and economic benefits.

Objective There are few researches for the serum betatrophin level and diabetic nephropathy (DN) recently.The aim of this study was to investigate the change of serum betatrophin level and the correlation of serum betatrophin and urinary albumin-to-creatintine ratio (UACR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods A total of 150 Chinese subjects from Mar 2013 to Jul 2016 were enrolled in the study, including 90 patients with type 2 diabetes and 60 healthy controls.According to the level of UACR, the diabetic patients were divided into two groups:normal UACR group (UACR<30 mg/g, n=60) and abnormal UACR group(UACR>30 mg/g, n=30).Serum betatrophin was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).UACR was measured by turbidimetric inhibition immune assay.Blood glucose blood lipid were measured simultaneously.Results The serum betatrophin level was significantly higher in abnormal UACR group than that in normal UACR group[677.37±59.02 vs 486.13±41.22 pg/mL, P<0.05];Serum betatrophin level in T2DM patients was positively correlated with age (r=0.246), waist hip ratio (WHR) (r=0.240), fasting blood glucose (FPG) (r=0.234), 2 hour plasma glucose (2hPG) (r=0.363), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (r=0.346), fasting insulin (FINS) (r=0.249), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) (r=0.309), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (r=0.223), creatinine (CREA) (r=0.277) and UACR (r=0.244) (P<0.05),and negatively correlated with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (r=0.308) (P<0.01).Serum betatrophin level in normal UACR group was positively correlated with age, HbA1c and UACR (P<0.05);Serum betatrophin level in abnormal UACR group was positively correlated with WHR (r=0.504), 2hPG (r=0.600), HbA1c (r=0.449), HOMA-IR (r=0.395) (P<0.05).The WHR, HbA1c, HOMA-IR and GFR were the influential factors of the serum betatrophin level.Conclusion The level of serum betatrophin was significantly increased in T2DM patients with albuminuria, which suggests that the betatrophin might play an important role in the pathogenesis of DN.

Objective To illustrate the details and effects of a new technique of penile augmentation-a dual plane approach to enhance the penile girth with human acellular dermal matrix (ADM)through the incision on the dorsal penile root.Methods Firstly,a reversed V incision was made at the dorsal root of the penis and the superficial suspensory ligament of the penis was released.A Dartos fascia incision was then made and the plan between Dartos fascia and Buck's fascia was dorsally dissected toward the coronary sulcus.A Buck's fascia incision was made 1.5-2 cm from the coronary sulcus and the fascia was undermined distally.One or two sheets of ADM was dorsally placed by a dual plane method which combined partial sub-Buck's fascia plane and partial sub-Dartos fascia plane to enhance the penile circumference.Finally,the Dartos fascia incision was closed and followed by the closure of the wound with V-Y advancement.Results A total of 35 patients underwent dual plane penile augmentation No dorsal penile skin necrosis and exposure of ADM sheet happened in our group postoperatively.25 patients were followed from 6 to 24 months after operation.All patients were satisfied with their penile appearance and 21 married patients reported satisfied sexual activity.The increase of penile circumference was (2.65±0.41) cm at flaccid state and (1.85±0.35) cm at erectile state 6 months postoperatively.No pleat or absorb of the ADM sheet,losses of sensitivity of the penis occurred during the follow-up period.Conclusions By adjusting the plane of ADM placement,the dual plane penile augmentation ensures adequate soft-tissue coverage and sufficient blood supply of penile skin and offers increased benefits and fewer tradeoffs compared with a single plane.This technique could be an effective way to lengthen and enlarge the penis in one stage without major complication.

Objective To explore the safety,minimal invasion and cosmetic effect of endoscopic thyroidectomy.Methods From May 2007 to April 2008,among 413 cases of thyroid operations,238 cases were operated by endoscopic techniguc and 175 cases were operated by traditional methods.the operation time,intra operative blood loss,incision cosmetic score,postoperative hospitalization time,cost of hospitalization,and surgical complications between the two mehods were compared.Results Both groups of patients were operated successfully without postoperative bleeding,hoarseness,or hypocalcemia.Compared with traditional thyroid surgery,endoscopic thyroidectomy had less blood loss,shorter operation time,and higher-satisfaction cosmetic effect without significant scars or skin color changes.Conclusions Compared with traditional thyroid surgery,endoscopic thyroidectomy has the desired advantages of excelent cosmetic result,safety,and quick recovery.It is an ideal operation method for treatment of benign thyroid diseases.
