Objective To explore and analyze the implementation effect of the combined traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and Western medicine DRG payment model in TCM hospitals,aiming to provide a reference for the reform of medical in-surance payment methods in such hospitals.Methods R language was utilized to statistically analyze the costs and other indica-tors of the sample hospitals before and after the implementation of the combined TCM and Western medicine DRG payment within 1-2 years.Results Following the implementation of the combined TCM and Western medicine DRG payment,there was a de-crease in average hospitalization costs and average length of stay,accompanied by an increase in CMI(average weight).The cost structure underwent changes:the proportions of western medicine fees and auxiliary examination fees decreased,whereas the pro-portion of TCM treatment fees increased.Significant statistical differences were observed in each group of data(p＜2.2e-16).Conclusion The combined TCM and Western medicine DRG payment reform model can facilitate TCM hospitals in reducing medical costs,controlling medical expenses,optimizing the cost structure,and promoting the development of TCM diagnosis and treatment characteristics.

Objective:To investigate the effect of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on the incidence of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limbs.Methods:A total of 405 patients who underwent primary unilateral TKA in the Department of Orthopaedics, Peking University Third Hospital from June 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, consisting of 89 males and 316 females, with a mean age of 67.84±5.60 years. Patients were divided into the conventional group ( n=215) and the robot-assisted group ( n=190) according to the surgical approach. Postoperative DVT incidence, operative time, postoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, perioperative blood loss, and transfusion rate were compared between the two groups to evaluate the impact of robot-assisted TKA on thrombotic events and related clinical indicators. Results:There were no significant differences in age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, or preoperative laboratory results including hemoglobin and hematocrit levels between the two groups ( P>0.05). The postoperative DVT incidence was 26.8% (51/190) in the robot-assisted group and 34.9% (75/215) in the conventional group, with no significant difference ( P>0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that sex ( P=0.013) and age ( P=0.024) were significantly associated with DVT occurrence. Multivariate logistic regression further revealed that female patients had a significantly higher incidence of DVT than males ( OR=0.438, P=0.005), and older patients had a significantly increased risk of DVT ( OR=1.046, P=0.025); body mass index remained not significantly associated with DVT ( P=0.092). The operative time in the robot-assisted group was 88.62±18.58 min, which was significantly longer than that in the conventional group 79.23±17.68 min ( t=-5.207, P<0.001). Perioperative total blood loss was 1 079.85±344.18 ml in the robot-assisted group and 1 141.47±363.70 ml in the conventional group, with no significant difference ( t=1.745, P=0.082). The transfusion rate was 5.3% in the robot-assisted group and 5.1% in the conventional group, respectively, with no significant differences (χ 2=0.004, P=0.947). Conclusion:Compared with conventional TKA, robot-assisted TKA results in longer operative time but does not increase perioperative blood loss or the risk of postoperative DVT.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of a wearable robot for improving the balance and walking function of stroke survivors.Methods:Eighty stroke survivors were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 40. Both groups were given routine rehabilitation, but the observation group additionally received 20 minutes of training assisted by a wearable robot six days a week for 4 weeks. Before and after the experiment, both groups were evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and functional ambulation categories (FACs). Their movement distance and ellipse area were measured using a Prokin balance instrument, and their step length and pace on the affected side were recorded.Results:Significant improvement in the average BBS and FAC scores, exercise length, ellipse area, and step length and speed on the affected side was observed in both groups. On average, the experimental group′s results were significantly better than those of the control group.Conclusion:Supplementing conventional rehabilitation with wearable robot assistance can significantly improve the balance and walking function of stroke survivors.
