Objective The digital transformation of healthcare has made data-driven approaches critical for improving the quality and efficiency of medical services.This study aims to improve the quality of critical value management by a data-driv-en intervention.Methods This study built an advanced digital platform to precisely record the time-stamp of each step,from de-tection to solution.This platform also delivered real-time notifications of patient critical value information to doctors' mobile de-vices,thereby optimizing the critical value management.Data were collected via this platform.A cohort study was designed:March 2024 data(pre-go-live)served as the control group and May 2024 data(post-go-live)as the intervention group.Comple-tion rate,processing time,and the proportion of in-patient critical values which were entered into the electronic progress were compared.Results The critical-value completion rate rose from 97.1％to 100.0％,and the proportion of values processed within 30 min increased from 80.91％to 83.42％.Among alerts that required ≥30 min,median(IQR)processing time fell from 100.27(230.09)min in March 2024 to 91.07(169.73)min in May 2024.Median processing time shortened for both e-mergency and out-patient alerts,with the out-patient reduction being statistically significant(median-45 min,P=0.042).Conclusion The data-driven platform not only improved the critical-value management,but also enhanced the transparency and traceability,providing clinical decision support and enhancing patient safety.

Staphylococcus aureus has the ability to invade bovine mammary epithelial cells and cause persistent intracellular infections.For diagnosing mastitis in cows caused by the bacterial in-fections,it is necessary to determine whether there is a persistent intracellular infection by S.au-reus within mammary epithelial cells,and to establish scientific treatment strategies and imple-ment proactive management decisions.The content of this study is the establishment of a brand new diagnostic method aimed at confirming this type of bovine disease efficiently and cost-effec-tively.The diagnostic procedure is as follows:Add 100 μL S.aureus liquid culture with a concentra-tion of 8.5 ×1010 CFU/mL to the well-grown bovine mammary epithelial cell line and co-culture at 37 degrees Celsius for 2 h to establish an intracellular infection model;After the co-cultivation is completed,add 100 μL of lysostaphin to the dish to thoroughly eliminate extracellular S.aureus.It can be confirmed that the model has been successfully established that black spherical bacteria with a diameter of approximately 1μm are observed within the sample cells using a transmission e-lectron microscope.Intracellular infection is evidenced by the observation of DNA-staining positive material within the cytoplasm of DAPI-stained sample cells,as observed through a laser confocal microscope.The sample is subjected to gram staining after being treated with 200 μL of 0.5％Tri-tonX-100 for 15 min,and intracellular infection is observed within the cytoplasm of the sample cells with Gram-positive results under oil immersion microscopy.The results of the novel"Tri-tonX-100 & gram staining method"validate that the presence of Staphylococcus aureus individu-als within bovine mammary epithelial cells is consistent with images observed under transmission electron microscopy and laser confocal microscopy.The verification results indicate that the"Tri-tonX-100 & gram staining method"is suitable for the diagnosis of S.aureus persistent intracellu-lar infection in bovine mastitis.Later,somatic cells from milk were extracted by gradient centrifu-gation and purified to obtain bovine mammary epithelial cells for clinical testing of 70 S.aureus positive mastitis cattle,which showed a positive rate of 82.9％and a negative rate of 17.1％.

Background::Hepatitis B poses a heavy burden for children in China, however, the national studies on the distributional characteristics and health care costs of children with severe hepatitis B is still lacking. This study aimed to analyze the disease characteristics, health economic effects, and medical cost for children with severe hepatitis B in China.Methods::Based on patient information in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System, cases with severe hepatitis B were divided into four groups according to age, and the etiology and symptoms of each group were quantified. The cost of hospitalization was calculated for cases with different disease processes, and severity of disease. The spatial aggregation of cases and the relationship with health economic factors were analyzed by Moran’s I analysis. Results::The total number of children discharged with hepatitis B from January 2016 to April 2022 was 1603, with an average age of 10.5 years. Liver failure cases accounted for 43.48% (697/1603) of total cases and cirrhosis cases accounted for 11.23% (180/1603). According to the grouping of disease progression, there were 1292 cases without associated complications, and the median hospitalization cost was $818.12. According to the spatial analysis, the aggregation of cases was statistically significant at the prefectural and provincial levels in 2019, 2020, and 2021 (all P <0.05). The number of severe cases was negatively correlated with gross domestic product (Moran’s I <0) and percentage of urban population (Moran’s I <0), and positively correlated with the number of pediatric beds per million population (Moran’s I >0). Conclusion::The number of severe hepatitis B cases is low in areas with high gross domestic product levels and high urban population ratios, and health care costs have been declining over the years.

Objective:To investigate the effects of CO2 intracavitary laser combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation on surface electromyography(sEMG)values and pelvic floor three-dimensional ultrasound parameters in female patients with stress urinary incontinence(SUI).Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 92 female SUI patients treated at the outpatient department of Meizhou People's Hospital from October 2021 to July 2023.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group(n=46 each)using a random number table.Both groups received home-based pelvic floor muscle training.The control group additionally received pelvic floor magnetic stimulation,while the observation group was treated with CO2 intracavitary laser combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation.The urinary leakage status,treatment efficacy,pelvic floor muscle sEMG,pelvic floor three-dimensional ultrasound parameters,quality of life,and sexual quality of life were compared between the two groups.Assessments included the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form(ICIQ-SF),the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form(IIQ-7),and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire(PISQ-12).Results:1-hour leakage volume:0 g(observation group)vs.3 g(control group),24-hour leakage episodes:0 times(observation group)vs.0 times(control group),the observed differences were statistically significant(Z=-2.866,-2.355,P<0.05).Total effective rate:95.65%(observation)vs.58.70%(control),the observed differences were statistically significant(x2=4.083,P<0.05).Pelvic floor muscle sEMG(after treatment):Maximal fast contraction:(40.78±3.28)μV(observation)vs.(35.17±5.10)μV(control),Mean tonic contraction:(31.56±4.20)μV(observation)vs.(25.87±3.82)μV(control),Mean endurance contraction:(29.34±2.58)μV(observation)vs.(25.37±2.67)μV(control),all differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=2.736,19.919,3.025,15.426,P<0.05).After treatment,both groups showed reductions in bladder neck descent(BND)during Valsalva maneuver,bladder-symphysis distance(BSD),urethral rotation angle(URA),and posterior vesicourethral angle(RVA).However,the observation group demonstrated significantly greater reductions compared to the control group(post-treatment data:observation group(24.30±3.21)mm,(2.34±0.23)mm,(56.40±5.87)°,(89.54±9.21)°;control group(26.21±3.48)mm,(3.57±0.35)mm,(60.29±6.45)°,(126.71±13.50)°.These differences were statistically significant(t=2.736,19.919,3.025,15.426,P<0.05).Similarly,both groups exhibited decreased scores on the ICIQ-SF and IIQ-7 scales,along with increased scores on the PISQ-12.Again,the observation group showed superior improvement,with statistically significant differences(t=11.478,13.168,6.631,P<0.05).Conclusion:On the basis of pelvic floor muscle training,CO2 intracavitary laser therapy combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation can effectively alleviate urinary incontinence symptoms in patients with female stress urinary incontinence(FSUI),enhance therapeutic efficacy,improve pelvic floor muscle strength and the stability of pelvic support structures,and promote quality of life and sexual function.

Objective The objective of this study is to improve the accuracy of automatic identification in complex background herbal slice images.The goal is to achieve accurate recognition of herbal slice images in the presence of complex backgrounds.Methods The experiment was conducted on a collected and organized dataset of Tibetan herbal slice images.The RGB,HOG,and LBP features of the slices were analyzed.An improved HOG algorithm was used to fuse multiple features,and a deep learning network was utilized for image recognition.Results The proposed method of multi-feature fusion combined with deep learning achieved an identification accuracy of 91.68%on 3610 Tibetan herbal slice images with complex backgrounds.Furthermore,the average identification accuracy for 20 common traditional Chinese medicine slices,such as Chuan Beimu,Hawthorn,and Pinellia,reached 98.00%.This method outperformed existing methods for identifying herbal slices in complex backgrounds,indicating its feasibility and wide applicability for the identification of other traditional Chinese herbal medicines.Conclusion The fusion of multiple features effectively captures distinguishing characteristics of herbal slices in complex backgrounds.It exhibits high recognition rates for Tibetan herbal slices with complex and heavily occluded backgrounds,and can be successfully applied to the recognition of natural scene-based traditional Chinese herbal medicines and herbal slices.This approach shows promising prospects for practical applications.

OBJECTIVE:Percutaneous sacroiliac screw internal fixation has become the main surgical procedure for the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures;however,the unassisted closure operation requires high operator experience and repeated fluoroscopy increases the radiation hazard for patients and medical personnel.This article compares the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted versus unassisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw placement for posterior pelvic ring fractures by meta-analysis. METHODS:Computer searches of CNKI,WanFang,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov were conducted from the time of database inception to December 2022.The literature on the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted versus freehand percutaneous sacroiliac screw placement in the treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures was collected in and outside China.The data were independently screened and extracted by two investigators according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,respectively.The quality of randomized controlled trials was evaluated using Cochrane risk assessment criteria.The quality of included cohort studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software for inclusion metrics.Outcome metrics included operative time,intraoperative bleeding,fluoroscopy time,fluoroscopy frequency,number of holes drilled,Majeed postoperative function score,the excellent and good rates of Matta fracture reduction,the excellent and good rates of Gras screw position,fracture healing time and complications. RESULTS:(1)A total of 13 publications were included,2 were randomized controlled trials both referring to randomized methods,11 non-randomized controlled studies were evaluated for quality of literature according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale,1 scored 8,9 scored 7;and 1 scored 6;the quality of literature was good.A total of 748 patients were included,including 430 in the robot-assisted group and 318 in the freehand group.(2)The results of the meta-analysis showed that the operative time(MD=-28.30,95%CI:-40.20 to-16.40),intraoperative bleeding(MD=-6.36,95%CI:-10.06 to-2.66),intraoperative fluoroscopy time(MD=-12.13,95%CI:-19.54 to-4.72),intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency(MD=-17.39,95%CI:-29.00 to-5.78),number of intraoperative needle drillings(SMD=-9.50,95%CI:-14.27 to-4.73)and the excellent and good rates of Gras screw position(OR=8.65,95%Cl:3.26-22.92)in the robot-assisted group were significantly better than those in the freehand group(P<0.05).(3)In the robot-assisted group,the overall postoperative complication rate was significantly reduced(OR=0.10,95%Cl:0.02-0.48,P<0.05).(4)No significant difference was detected in fracture healing time(MD=-0.08,95%CI:-0.21,0.06),the excellent and good rates of Matta fracture repositioning rate(OR=2.06,95%Cl:0.97-4.39),and Majeed functional score(MD=0.91,95%CI:-0.31-2.13)between both groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSION:Compared with freehand sacroiliac joint nailing,robotic assistance shortens the operative time,reduces intraoperative bleeding,decreases radiation damage to patients and medical staff,improves the excellent and good rate of screw position,and reduces the overall incidence of postoperative complications in patients,but there was no significant improvement in fracture reduction quality,fracture healing time,and postoperative function.In the future,more large-sample,multicenter,and high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed to verify.
