Point-of-care testing (POCT) provides key support for clinical decision-making through rapid detection. This article introduces the development background of POCT in the field of pre-hospital emergency, as well as the development status of POCT in Hangzhou City, and analyzes the problems of quality management. Pre-hospital emergency medical institutions in Hangzhou City have been equipped with POCT equipment, and the test items include blood glucose, cardiac troponin, etc. The implementation rates of internal quality control, comparison test, and proficiency testing were 58.2%, 50.3% and 42.6%, respectively. POCT quality management has problems such as unclear responsibility subjects, insufficient professional personnel, and a lack of standardization of the process. It is proposed to build a hierarchical collaborative management system, strengthen the double access mechanism of personnel and equipment, implement the whole process quality control, and build a digital management platform, so as to provide the reference for the high-quality development of POCT in pre-hospital medical emergency institutions.

Background Hebei Province is located in the North China Plain. In view of the influence of geological background and the acute and chronic hazards caused by excessive drinking water toxicological indicators, coupled with the large coverage of water supply in urban areas and the existence of self-built water supply facilities, it is necessary to understand the drinking water sanitation status in urban areas and conduct health risk assessment. Objective To investigate main indicators affecting the compliance rate of drinking water quality in urban areas of Hebei and evaluate the chronic non-carcinogenic risks of 11 chemicals. Methods The collection, preservation, and testing of 14299 samples of finished water, tap water, and secondary water supply in urban areas of Hebei Province from 2017 to 2021 were conducted following the Standard examination methods for drinking water (GB/T 5750—2006). A total of 11 chemicals were evaluated according to the Hygienic standards for drinking water (GB 5749—2006). The chronic non-carcinogenic risks of the 11 chemicals in drinking water by oral exposure were assessed using the four-step health risk assessment model developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Technical guide for environmental health risk assessment of chemical substances (WS/T 777—2021). Results From 2017 to 2021, the compliance rates of arsenic, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, cyanide, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride in drinking water in urban areas of Hebei Province were all 100.00%, and fluoride and nitrate (N) were the main indicators affecting water quality compliance, with compliance rates of 97.68% and 99.53% respectively. The compliance rate of fluoride increased year by year (χ²=178.06, P<0.05), and the concentration showed a downward trend (χ²=563.49, P<0.05). The compliance rate of fluoride in water samples during the wet season was higher than that during the dry season (χ²=5.06, P<0.05). The median concentrations of fluoride and nitrate in drinking water in urban areas of Hebei Province from 2017 to 2021 were 0.36 mg·L⁻¹ and 3.32 mg·L⁻¹, with hazard quotients of 0.15 and 0.05, respectively, both less than 1, suggesting no chronic non-carcinogenic risks, and no significant gender difference was found. The hazard quotient of maximum fluoride concentration was 1.65, which was greater than 1, suggesting chronic non-carcinogenic risks. The chronic non-carcinogenic risks associated with the maximum concentrations of the remaining 10 chemical indicators were all within an acceptable range. Conclusions Nine toxicological indicators in drinking water in urban areas of Hebei Province from 2017 to 2021, except for fluoride and nitrate, are within the national standards. Fluoride and nitrate are the main toxicological indicators that affect the overall compliance rate of water quality, and the chronic non-carcinogenic risks associated with maximum concertration of nitrate and 95% concentration of fluoride are at an acceptable level.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib for the treatment of newly treated and relapsed refractory (R/R) lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) /Waldenstr?m macroglobulinemia (WM) .Methods:Retrospectively collected clinical data of 98 cases of newly treated and R/R LPL/WM patients who received ibrutinib treatment at the Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from March 2016 to June 2023, and analyzed their efficacy and safety.Results:A total of 98 LPL/WM patients were included, which consisted of 45 newly treated patients and 53 R/R patients. Of these, 74 were males (75.5%) and the cohort had a median age of 64 (42-87) years. Eighty-eight patients were eligible for efficacy evaluation with a median treatment time of 20.8 (2.1-55.0) months, a major remission rate (MRR) of 78.4%, and an overall response rate (ORR) of 85.2%. The MRR and ORR of the newly treated patients were 78.4% and 86.5%, respectively, whereas the MRR and ORR of the R/R patients were 78.4% and 84.3%, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in MRR and ORR between the initial treatment and R/R patients (all P values >0.05) . The median follow-up period was 29.1 (2.9-50.3) months and the median overall survival time for newly treated and R/R patients was not reached. The median progression-free survival time was 23.5 (95% CI 10.5-36.5) months and 45.0 (95% CI 34.0-56.0) months, respectively, with no statistically significant differences (all P values >0.05) . There were 25 deceased patients and no deaths were related to ibrutinib treatment. The main adverse reactions of ibrutinib were thrombocytopenia (5.1%) , pneumonia (8.1%) , and hyperuricemia (21.4%) . The incidence of atrial fibrillation was 2.0%. Conclusion:Ibrutinib exhibits good efficacy and safety for newly treated and R/R LPL/WM patients.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical phenotype and genetic etiology for a child featuring congenital hypothyroidism (CH). METHODS: Whole exome sequencing (WES), copy number variation (CNV) sequencing and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) were carried out for a newborn infant who had presented at Linyi People's Hospital for CH. Clinical data of the child was analyzed, in addition with a literature review. RESULTS: The main characteristics of the newborn infant had included peculiar face, vulvar edema, hypotonia, psychomotor retardation, recurrent respiratory tract infection with laryngeal wheezing and feeding difficulties. Laboratory test indicated hypothyroidism. WES suggested a CNV deletion on chromosome 14q12q13. CMA further confirmed a 4.12 Mb deletion at chromosome 14q12q13.3 (32649595_36769800), which has encompassed 22 genes including NKX2-1, the pathogenic gene for CH. The same deletion was found in neither of her parents. CONCLUSION Through the analysis of clinical phenotype and genetic variant, the child was diagnosed with 14q12q13.3 microdeletion syndrome.

Objective:To conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the issues found in quality management, establish a risk-based whole-process quality management model, and improve the quality of clinical trials.Methods:Based on the risk-based quality management theory, the issues found in the quality control of drug clinical trials in Beijing Cancer Hospital in 2020 were structured and classified by severity (mild to moderate to severe) and 10 categories, and the risk matrix was graded by a semi-quantitative method. Targeted quality control strategies for different levels of risk were carried out according to visual analysis of the informative quality analysis platform. Chi-square tests of the severity of quality control issues in our hospital in 2020 and 2021 and non-parametric tests of the number of issues per capita in each category were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the management model.Results:A risk matrix was established according to the severity and frequency of the issues found in the quality control in 2020. The issues with severe risks were categorized as protocol compliance and serious adverse events, and categories with moderate risks included informed consent, biological sample related, original records, and investigator folders. After using visual analysis and adopting the risk-based quality control strategy, the proportion of severe issues found in quality control in our hospital in 2021 was 0.92%, lower than that of 1.39% in 2020, and the difference was statistically significant. The average number of issues detected per capita in each category for each trial in 2021 was lower than that in 2020 with a statistical difference, indicating that the management model was effective.Conclusions:Using information technology to adopt risk-based quality management is helpful to improve the quality of hospital clinical trials.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in very preterm infants(VPI), and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of BPD in VPI.Methods:A prospective multicenter study was designed to collect the clinical data of VPI in department of neonatology of 28 hospitals in 7 regions from September 2019 to December 2020.According to the continuous oxygen dependence at 28 days after birth, VPI were divided into non BPD group and BPD group, and the risk factors of BPD in VPI were analyzed.Results:A total of 2 514 cases of VPI including 1 364 cases without BPD and 1 150 cases with BPD were enrolled.The incidence of BPD was 45.7%.The smaller the gestational age and weight, the higher the incidence of BPD( P<0.001). Compared with non BPD group, the average birth age, weight and cesarean section rate in BPD group were lower, and the incidence of male infants, small for gestational age and 5-minute apgar score≤7 were higher( P<0.01). In BPD group, the incidences of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS), hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, retinopathy of prematurity, feeding intolerance, extrauterine growth restriction, grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage, anemia, early-onset and late-onset sepsis, nosocomial infection, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis were higher( P<0.05), the use of pulmonary surfactant(PS), postnatal hormone exposure, anemia and blood transfusion were also higher, and the time of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation, oxygen use and total hospital stay were longer( P<0.001). The time of starting enteral nutrition, cumulative fasting days, days of reaching total enteral nutrition, days of continuous parenteral nutrition, days of reaching 110 kcal/(kg·d) total calorie, days of reaching 110 kcal/(kg·d) oral calorie were longer and the breastfeeding rate was lower in BPD group than those in non BPD group( P<0.001). The cumulative doses of amino acid and fat emulsion during the first week of hospitalization were higher in BPD group( P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that NRDS, invasive mechanical ventilation, age of reaching total enteral nutrition, anemia and blood transfusion were the independent risk factors for BPD in VPI, and older gestational age was the protective factor for BPD. Conclusion:Strengthening perinatal management, avoiding premature delivery and severe NRDS, shortening the time of invasive mechanical ventilation, paying attention to enteral nutrition management, reaching whole intestinal feeding as soon as possible, and strictly mastering the indications of blood transfusion are very important to reduce the incidence of BPD in VPI.

Objective:To investigate the prognoses of pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients with leptomeningeal metastases (LM) and explore their influencing factors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed. The clinical data, imaging features and treatment plans of pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients with LM admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to June 2021 were collected. Overall survival (OS) was used as the prognostic evaluation criterion and patients were divided into good prognosis group (OS≥6 months) and poor prognosis group (OS<6 months) accordingly. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors for prognoses of pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients with LM. These patients were grouped according to different Karnofsky performance status (KPS) scores and different treatment methods, and survival curves were drawn to compare their OS.Results:A total of 173 pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients with LM were enrolled in the study, including 75 with good prognosis and 87 with poor prognosis. There were significant differences in the KPS scores, pulmonary adenocarcinoma lesion controlled status, giving third generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy or not, giving systemic chemotherapy and/or whole brain radiotherapy or not between the two groups ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that KPS scores and pulmonary adenocarcinoma lesion controlled status were independent influencing factors for prognoses ( OR=4.186, 95%CI: 1.583-11.070, P=0.004; OR=4.198, 95%CI: 1.499-11.760, P=0.006). Survival curves showed median OS of 8.2 months for all patients ( 95%CI: 6.5-9.8). The OS in patients with low-risk(KPS scores≥60) was significantly higher than that in patients with high-risk(KPS scores<60), that in patients accepted TKI treatment was significantly higher than that in patients not accepted TKI treatment, and that in patients accepted TKI and systemic chemotherapy was significantly higher than that in patients accepted TKI alone ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients with high KPS scores and controlled pulmonary adenocarcinoma can have relatively good prognosis; TKI treatment and combination therapy may prolong OS of these patients.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment model of childhood bronchial asthma in Shanghai Pudong New Area.Methods:According to the principle of proximity, children aged 6 months-17 years who were diagnosed with bronchial asthma at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center from July 2016 to May 2017 were divided into two cohorts: the specialized hospital group and the community hospital group.Twelve months of treatment and follow-up were conducted.The asthma control level, Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) score, medication adherence and health economic indicators were collected.Results:A total of 524 children were included for data analysis and divided into the specialized hospital group (300 cases) and the community hospital group (224 cases). According to the Global Initiative for Asthma(GINA) criteria, there was no statistical difference in monthly asthma control level between the two groups (all P>0.05). In the 12 th month, the well-controlled rate of the specialized hospital group increased by 12.4% ( P<0.01), and that of the community hospital group increased by 22.9% ( P= 0.015). According to the C-ACT criteria, there was no statistical difference in the monthly well-controlled rate between the two groups (all P>0.05), and the rate maintained an upward trend.The rates of patients with good compliance in the specialized hospital group and the community hospital group at the 12 th month of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment were 78.3%(235/300 cases) and 75.0%(168/224 cases), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.370). After 12 months of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, the number of asthma attacks were 1.0 and 2.0 ( P=0.269), and the hospitalization rates for asthma were 3.0%(9/300 cases) and 4.9%(11/224 cases), respectively in the specialized hospital group and the community hospital group, and the diffe-rence was not statistically significant ( P=0.259); the number of respiratory infections in the specialized hospital group (2.0 times) was lower than that in the community hospital group (3.0 times), and the total cost of treatment in the community hospital group (2 471.5 Yuan) was lower than that in the specialized hospital group (3 445.5 Yuan), and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.308, -3.336, all P<0.01). Twelve months after hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, the number of asthma attacks, the number of respiratory infections and the hospitalization rate for asthma in the two groups were all lower than those in the first 12 months of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.01). Conclusions:Hierarchical diagnosis and treatment model of childhood asthma in Shanghai Pudong New Area can improve asthma control level, C-ACT score and asthma medication adherence, and enhance health economic benefits, thus it′s an effective way to manage childhood asthma.
