Medical insurance fund is the foundation for the healthy operation of the medical insurance system, which is related to the well-being of the people and social stability. Medical institutions, as important entities in the implementation of medical insurance policies and the use of medical insurance funds, should continuously improve and optimize their self-management, and strengthen the prevention and control of clean risks in the use of medical insurance funds. This is not only a necessary response measure in the context of strict supervision of national medical insurance funds, but also an inevitable choice for hospitals under the trend of high-quality development. This article took a certain hospital as an example to illustrate the practice of sorting out the relevant authority directory for the use of medical insurance funds, analyze the integrity risk points of doctors, patients, and medical insurance reimbursement auditors; And introduced the practice of using a clean risk prevention and control grid to strengthen the hospital′s medical insurance fund, including improving the medical insurance management system, cultivating a sustainable culture of integrity, optimizing process design, improving information system construction, and improving medical insurance service modes, so as to provide reference for other medical institutions.

【Objective】 To investigate the detection of pathogenic microorganisms in umbilical cord blood and maternal blood from 2012 to 2021, so as to improve the collection of umbilical cord blood and guarantee the safety of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) . 【Methods】 Detection results of pathogenic microorganisms of umbilical cord blood and maternal blood among 64 077 cases from Tianjin Cord Blood Bank from 2012 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. 【Results】 A total of, 2 072 cases (3.23%) were detected positive, among which, 184 cases (0.29%) were positive for aerobic bacteria culture, 1 504 cases (2.34%) were positive for anaerobic bacteria culture, and 384 cases (0.60%) were positive for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria culture. From 2012 to 2021,the overall positive rate showed a downward trend, with a difference in the positive rate between each year (P<0.05). The positive rate of anaerobic bacteria was higher than that of aerobic bacteria and that of anaerobic and aerobic bacteria (P<0.05). After Gram staining, the microscopic detection rate of bacterial positive samples was highest in G^- bacilli, followed by G⁺ bacilli, G⁺ cocci, G^- cocci and others. Among the 64 077 cases, 169 cases (0.26%) showed reactivity in cord blood tests and 1 231 cases (1.92%) showed reactivity in maternal blood tests. Umbilical cord blood and maternal blood HIV-Ag/Ab tests showed reactivity after initial screening. After confirmation by Western blotting, there was 1 case of uncertain maternal blood, while the rest were negative. The reactive rates of anti-TP (0.12%) and anti- HCV (0.11%) in umbilical cord blood were higher than those of HBsAg (0.03%) and CMV-IgM (1/64 077).There was a difference in the reactive rate of anti-TP detection in umbilical cord blood between different years (P<0.05),while there was no statistically significant difference in that of HBsAg, anti-HCV and CMV-IgM (P> 0.05).The reactive rate of HBsAg in maternal blood (1.38%) was higher than that of CMV-IgM(0.29%) , anti-TP(0.13%) and anti-HCV (0.12%) . There were differences in the reactive rates of HBsAg, anti-HCV ,and anti-TP in maternal blood among different years (P<0.05),and that of HBsAg showed a decreasing trend, while the reactive rate of CMV-IgM was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The reactive rates of HBsAg and CMV-IgM detected in maternal blood were significantly higher than those in umbilical cord blood (P<0.05) . The reactive rates of anti-HCV and anti-TP in maternal blood were consistent with those in umbilical cord blood (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 The reactive rates of anti-HIV and CMV-IgM in cord blood, and that of anti-HIV in maternal blood are low, but those of anti-TP and anti-HCV in cord blood are relatively high. The reactive rate of HBsAg is high in maternal blood,but with a downward trend,but low in umbilical cord blood due to maternal-infantile transmission blocking. The detection of transfusion transmitted pathogens and bacteria plays a critical role on the safety of umbilical cord blood HSCs. Effective detection of transfusion transmitted pathogens and culture of bacteria are the key to ensure the quality of umbilical cord blood, which can improve the safety of umbilical cord blood HSCs transplantation.

β-glucosidase has important applications in food, pharmaceutics, biomass conversion and other fields, exploring β-glucosidase with strong adaptability and excellent properties thus has received extensive interest. In this study, a novel glucosidase from the GH1 family derived from Cuniculiplasma divulgatum was cloned, expressed, and characterized, aiming to find a better β-glucosidase. The amino acid sequences of GH1 family glucosidase derived from C. divulgatum were obtained from the NCBI database, and a recombinant plasmid pET-30a(+)-CdBglA was constructed. The recombinant protein was induced to express in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The enzymatic properties of the purified CdBglA were studied. The molecular weight of the recombinant CdBglA was 56.0 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature were 5.5 and 55 ℃, respectively. The enzyme showed good pH stability, 92.33% of the initial activity could be retained when treated under pH 5.5-11.0 for 1 h. When pNPG was used as a substrate, the kinetic parameters K_m, V_max and K_cat/K_m were 0.81 mmol, 291.99 μmol/(mg·min), and 387.50 s^-1 mmol^-1, respectively. 90.33% of the initial enzyme activity could be retained when CdBglA was placed with various heavy metal ions at a final concentration of 5 mmol/L. The enzyme activity was increased by 28.67% under 15% ethanol solution, remained unchanged under 20% ethanol, and 43.68% of the enzyme activity could still be retained under 30% ethanol. The enzyme has an obvious activation effect at 0-1.5 mol/L NaCl and can tolerate 0.8 mol/L glucose. In conclusion, CdBglA is an acidic and mesophilic enzyme with broad pH stability and strong tolerance to most metal ions, organic solvents, NaCl and glucose. These characteristics may facilitate future theoretical research and industrial production.

As suggested by regulatory feedbacks from relevant national regulatory agencies on the use of medical insurance funds, noticeable problems were found in the compliance and rationality of medical service charges among Chinese hospitals. Based on the practice of hospital management, the authors summarized common problems of various medical service charge management as reported by the management authorities at all levels. These problems referred to name-replaceable charges and affiliated charges, splitting charges, repeated charges, and multiple(false) charges. On this basis, the paper analyzed such hospital management risks incurred as regulatory penalties, fee disputes and medical disputes, as well as their internal and external causes. In the end, the paper put forward countermeasures and suggestions for reference by hospitals in their management of medical service charges.

Tocilizumab has been reported to attenuate the "cytokine storm" in COVID-19 patients. We attempted to verify the effectiveness and safety of tocilizumab therapy in COVID-19 and identify patients most likely to benefit from this treatment. We conducted a randomized, controlled, open-label multicenter trial among COVID-19 patients. The patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either tocilizumab in addition to standard care or standard care alone. The cure rate, changes of oxygen saturation and interference, and inflammation biomarkers were observed. Thirty-three patients were randomized to the tocilizumab group, and 32 patients to the control group. The cure rate in the tocilizumab group was higher than that in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (94.12% vs. 87.10%, rate difference 95% CI-7.19%-21.23%, P = 0.4133). The improvement in hypoxia for the tocilizumab group was higher from day 4 onward and statistically significant from day 12 (P = 0.0359). In moderate disease patients with bilateral pulmonary lesions, the hypoxia ameliorated earlier after tocilizumab treatment, and less patients (1/12, 8.33%) needed an increase of inhaled oxygen concentration compared with the controls (4/6, 66.67%; rate difference 95% CI-99.17% to-17.50%, P = 0.0217). No severe adverse events occurred. More mild temporary adverse events were recorded in tocilizumab recipients (20/34, 58.82%) than the controls (4/31, 12.90%). Tocilizumab can improve hypoxia without unacceptable side effect profile and significant influences on the time virus load becomes negative. For patients with bilateral pulmonary lesions and elevated IL-6 levels, tocilizumab could be recommended to improve outcome.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 46 patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Beijing City.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 46 patients with COVID-19 in Beijing from 20th January 2020 to 8th February 2020 at the Fifth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital in Beijing City. Twelve, 23 and 11 patients were assigned to the mild group, common group and severe group, respectively. The epidemiological history, clinical characteristics, laboratory tests and imaging inspections were analyzed. Statistical analysis used Fisher exact test. If P<0.05, post- hoc test was used for pairwise comparison, and the statistics were corrected by Bonferroni test. Results:Among the 46 patients included in this study, 27 were male and 19 were female. The age range was between 3-79 years old, and the age was (41.8±16.3) years old. The average incubation period was (4.85±3.00) days. A total of 26 cases (56.5%) were clustered patients, and 26 cases had a history of staying in Wuhan, 10 cases had contact with Wuhan personnel. Fever (39 cases, 84.8%), cough (27 cases, 58.7%), and fatigue (25 cases, 54.3%) were the main clinical symptoms for these patients. The decrease in white blood cell counts occurred in 12 patients, four had the decrease in T lymphocyte percentage, 17 had the decrease in CD4 + T lymphocyte counts, seven had the decrease in CD8 + T lymphocyte counts, 21 had the increase level of C reactive protein (45.7%), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) level increased in 32 cases (69.6%), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) increased in 23 cases (50.0%), serum ferritin level increased in 26 cases (56.5%), and blood lactic acid level increased in nine cases. There were statistically significant differences in the proportion of cases with decreased absolute value of CD8 + T lymphocytes and T lymphocytes counts among the mild, common and severe groups (all P<0.05). Comparing the proportion of cases in the three groups with elevated C reactive protein, IL-6, ESR, serum ferritin and blood lactic acid levels, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The proportion of cases with elevated C reactive protein levels in severe group was higher than those in mild and common groups. The proportion of cases with elevated IL-6, ESR, and serum ferritin levels in severe and common group were higher than those in mild group. The proportion of cases with elevated blood lactic acid levels in severe group was higher than those in mild group. The differences between the above groups were statistically significant (all adjusted P<0.017). Analysis of chest X-rays results showed that 34 patients (73.9%) had inflammation in the lungs. Conclusions:The epidemiological characteristics of patients with COVID-19 in Beijing City are mainly imported cases and clustered cases. The clinical manifestations are mainly fever, fatigue and cough. C reactive protein, IL-6, ESR, serum ferritin and blood lactic acid levels are higher in severe patients.

BACKGROUND: More and more patients with small pulmonary nodules (SPN) can be found along with the developing of chest low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). With current examinations not all the SPN can be diagnosed to be benign or malignant and not all the malignant nodules can be diagnosed to be lymphatic metastasis. We need to study the correlation between plasma D-dimer count of patients before surgery with pathology features of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: The study comprised 567 highly suspected lung cancer patients. Preoperative plasma D-dimer were qualified, and the relationship between plasma D-dimer with pathology features including benign or malignant nodules, tumor size and involvement of lymph nodes was examined using Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman correlation coefficients. RESULTS: The median plasma D-dimer values were statistically higher in NSCLC patients than in those who suffered from benign lung nodules (P<0.001). The median plasma D-dimer values in NSCLC patients with malignant lymph nodes were statistically higher than in those without malignant lymph nodes (P<0.001). An obvious relationship was observed between elevated D-dimer with number of malignant lymph nodes involvement and tumer size. An obvious relationship was observed between elevated D-dimer (>112.5 ng/mL) and malignant lymph node involvement in stage T1 lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS The plasma D-dimer maybe useful for early diagnosis, staging and prognosis of the patients with NSCLC. The plasma D-dimer can be one of the indicator to identify what kind of patients need mediastinal lymph node cleaning.

Objective To investigate the effect of early rehabilitation physiotherapy on muscle quality and function in critical patients. Methods A prospective randomized controlled study was performed. Adult critically ill patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Anhui Provincial Hospital from October 1st, 2016 to August 31st, 2017 who had been hospitalized for more than 7 days and had acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ ) > 8 were enrolled, and they were divided into treatment group and control group according to random number table method. All patients were given routine treatment, and on this basis, the treatment group was given rehabilitation therapy within 24 hours after admission, including limb active / passive activities, respiratory muscle function training and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, etc. Bedside ultrasound was used to measure the area and cross sectional thickness of left rectus femoris muscle and the cross sectional thickness of middle thigh muscle of patients at 1, 4 and 7 days after treatment; at the same time, the muscle strength of sober patients was evaluated by medical research council (MRC) muscle strength evaluation method, and the mechanical ventilation time, ICU hospitalization time and ICU expenses were recorded. Results Forty patients were enrolled in this study, with 20 in each group. Compared with the control group, the difference of left rectus femoris muscle area between 1 day and 4 days, 4 days and 7 days, 1 day and 7 days (cm2: 0.19±0.02 vs. 0.31±0.19, 0.02±0.01 vs. 0.08±0.05, 0.04±0.02 vs. 0.38±0.23), and the difference in left rectus femoris thickness (cm: 0.01±0.01 vs. 0.14±0.13, 0.03±0.03 vs. 0.16±0.14) and the difference in middle thigh muscle thickness (cm: 0.02±0.02 vs. 0.11±0.09, 0.03±0.02 vs. 0.16±0.12) between 1 day and 4 days, 1 day and 7 days in the treatment group were significantly reduced (all P <0.01). The MRC strength score in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group at 7 days (52.06±3.52 vs. 47.94±3.96, P < 0.05). The mechanical ventilation time in the treatment group (n = 15) and the control group (n = 13) were (138.5±34.5) hours and (185.0±40.9) hours, respectively, and the difference between two groups were statistical significance (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the incidence rate of ICU acquired muscle weakness (ICUAW) in the treatment group was significantly decreased [5.0% (1/20) vs. 40.0% (8/20), P < 0.05], the length of ICU stay was significantly shortened (days: 17.67±4.91 vs. 22.06±5.94, P < 0.05), and the ICU expenses were significantly reduced (ten thousand yuan: 7.53±2.09 vs. 9.55±1.73, P < 0.05). Conclusion Early rehabilitation physiotherapy can improve the muscle quality and function in critical patients, and decrease the length of ICU stay.

Objective To observe the variation tendency of laboratory indexes after delivery in pregnant women with acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) and the effects of plasma exchange (PE) on the patients prognoses and those parameters. Methods The data of 37 patients with AFLP admitted to the Department of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Anhui Provincial Hospital from January 2009 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed and the authors tried to clarify the natural course of AFLP; all the selected patients met the Swansea criteria of the AFLP diagnosis. The patients were divided into a PE group (9 cases) and a non-PE group (28 cases) according to whether they were treated with PE or not. At the same time, the effects of PE on liver function and coagulation parameters in the patients were analyzed. Results The most common clinical symptoms of 37 AFLP patients were as follows: nausea and vomiting (21 cases, incidence 56.8%), jaundice (21 cases, 56.8%), upper abdominal pain (14 cases, 37.8%), and more than 90% of patients had more than one symptom. All 37 patients with AFLP had abnormal liver function, their differences in the severity degrees were great, and the level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was (271.65±265.90) U/L;the levels of creatinine (SCr) of 72.9% patients (27 cases) were more than 140 mmol/L; the prothrombin times (PT) of 72.97% patients (27 cases) were more than 15 seconds; all patients had received blood product transfusion. Liver function and blood coagulation parameters mostly returned to normal within 1 week after delivery: AST rapidly decreased on the 1 - 2 days after delivery and then continued to decrease; all the cholesterol levels in the two groups decreased to the lowest levels within 3 - 4 days after delivery and then began to rise; the total bilirubin (TBil) levels kept on basically unchanging after delivery; in the patients with levels of platelet counts (PLT) on admission ≥ 150×109/L, on the second day after delivery, their counts returned to approximately 100×109/L, while in patients with PLT < 150×109/L on admission, on the sixth day after delivery, the counts began to slowly increase to about 100×109/L; the patients with fibrinogen (Fib) levels > 1.5 g/L on admission, the levels slightly decreased 2 days before delivery, then gradually recovered and stabilized after delivery, while the patients with Fib < 1.5 g/L, the levels began to rise slowly on the second day after delivery; prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were basically return to the normal reference ranges on the fifth day after delivery. The PE therapy could significantly improve the patients' laboratory indexes: the levels of AST, TBil, PLT, PT were significant lower immediately and on the second day after PE compared with those levels before the PE [AST (U/L): 197 (114, 383), 116 (65, 311) vs. 239 (125, 430), TBil (μmol/L):109 (67, 126), 125 (103, 178) vs. 164 (99, 198), PLT (×109/L): 96.44±33.10, 89.89±33.03 vs. 126.22±40.83, PT (s): 17.82±5.93, 18.36±3.19 vs. 22.67±8.44, all P < 0.05]. Conclusion After terminating the delivery in time for about one week, the AFLP patients' various indexes may basically return to normal; PE therapy can improve the patients' liver function and coagulation indexes.
