[Objective]To investigate the effect of ivabradine,an inhibitor of peripheral HCN channel,on remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in mice.[Methods]The model of remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia was established by intravenously infusing remifentanil 2 μg/(kg·min)for 1 h through tail vein of adult male C57/BL6 mice.To observe the effect of ivabradine on remifentanil induced hyperalgesia,ivabradine(5 mg/kg)was injected subcutaneously 30 minutes before remifentanil infusion.Forty mice were equally and randomly divided into 4 groups:saline group,remifentanil group,remifentanil+vehicle group and remifentanil+ivabradine group.In each group,six mice were used to test mechanical and thermal pain thresholds at 24 h before(baseline)and on 1 d,3 d,5 d after remifentanil or saline infusion.Four mice of each group were used to detected c-Fos positive cell in spinal dorsal horn by immunofluorescence on 1 d after remifentanil or saline infusion.[Results]Compared with the saline group,a significant decrease in mechanical or thermal threshold was observed on 1 d and 3 d after remifentanil infusion(P<0.001),and the number of c-Fos positive neurons in the lumbar dorsal horn increased significantly(P<0.001).Compared with vehicle group,subcutaneous injection of ivabradine effectively inhibited remifentanil induced hyperalgesia(P<0.001)and blocked the increase of c-Fos positive neurons in the lumbar dorsal horn on 1 d following remifentanil treatment(P<0.001).[Conclusions]Ivabradine could effectively prevent remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in mice.The possible mechanism underlying this effect is that ivabradine suppresses the enhanced peripheral nociceptive input onto spinal cord neurons.

Objectives:To explore the feasibility of using hemodynamic phenotypes to guide antihypertensive treatment medication. Methods:This study prospectively included 100 hypertensive patients who received outpatient treatment at Haidian Hospital in Beijing from January 2021 to December 2021.Evaluation of blood pressure was conducted using laboratory and home blood pressure measurements,impedance cardiogram(ICG)detection was performed.Following hemodynamic phenotypes and therapeutic phenotypes were established:hyperkinetic phenotype(increased heart rate)using β-blockers,large artery phenotype(increased large artery resistance index)using calcium antagonists,peripheral vascular phenotype(increased peripheral vascular resistance index)using renin angiotensin system inhibitors,and high-volume phenotype(increased blood volume saturation)using diuretics.Patients were randomly divided into ICG group(n=50,medication treatment based on hemodynamic characteristics)and control group(n=50,treatment based on hypertension guidelines and clinical experience).Patients were followed up for 8 weeks and the blood pressure reduction amplitude and compliance rate were compare between the two groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in baseline data such as sex,age,height,weight,and hemodynamic parameters between the two groups(all P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the types of baseline medication between the two groups(P>0.05).After medication adjustment,the types of medication increased,but the difference between the two groups was still not statistically significant(P>0.05).Clinic blood pressure:After 8 weeks,decreases in systolic([8.38±27.78]mmHg,1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)and diastolic([3.94±18.15]mmHg)blood pressure were greater in the ICG group as compared to the control group(both P<0.05).The blood pressure compliance rate(<140/90 mmHg)was higher in the ICG group than that in the control group(66.0%vs.42.0%,P<0.05).Family blood pressure:after 8 weeks,the reduction in systolic([8.22±21.31]mmHg,P<0.01)and diastolic([4.76±13.88]mmHg,P<0.05)blood pressure was greater in the ICG group compared to the control group.The blood pressure compliance rate(<135/85 mmHg)was higher in the ICG group than that in the control group(70.0%vs.48.0%,P<0.05).Changes in corresponding hemodynamic parameters before and after two different antihypertensive drugs:the heart rate,arterial resistance index,peripheral vascular resistance index,and blood volume saturation of the ICG group all significantly decreased compared to baseline(all P<0.05).The control group showed a significant decrease in peripheral vascular resistance index compared to baseline(P<0.05),while there was no statistically significant difference in heart rate,large artery resistance index,and blood volume saturation compared to baseline(all P>0.05). Conclusions:By using impedance cardiogram to assess hemodynamic phenotypes and accurately guide the selection of antihypertensive drugs based on hemodynamic phenotypes,it is possible to more effectively lower blood pressure and improve blood pressure compliance.

【Objective】 To investigate the situation of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE) colonization in patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). 【Methods】 A total of 241 consecutive patients who underwent haplo-HSCT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from June 1, 2021 to June 1, 2022 were enrolled. Anal swab screening was performed within 48 hours of admission and blood cultures were taken when the patient developed fever. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to analyze the colonization rate, distribution, risk factors and the correlation between CRE colonization and post-transplant bloodstream infection(BSI). 【Results】 Among 241 patients with haplo-HSCT, there were 90 cases in CRE colonization positive group, with a colonization rate of 37.3% (90/241). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sex (OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.38-4.22, P<0.05) and history of infection within 30 days before transplantation (OR 3.37, 95% CI 1.59-7.17, P<0.05) may be independent risk factors for CRE intestinal colonization. Of the 95 CRE strains, the top five species were carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (38/95, 40.0%), carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (29/95, 30.5%), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae (13/95, 13.6%), carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella acidophilus (6/95, 6.3%) and carbapenem-resistant Proteus mirabilis (3/95, 3.1%). The incidence of post-transplant BSI was 12.0% (29/241) in the CRE-colonized group and 3.3% (8/241) in the non-colonized group. In the colonization group, 100% of the pathogens of BSI were identical with those of CRE colonization. 【Conclusion】 Bacterial culture of anal swab during haplo-HSCT is helpful for detection of CRE colonization in intestinal tract, which provides some clinical basis for active monitoring of key flora, prevention and control of infection.

Luohu District of Shenzhen has implemented the global budget management mode as " surplus reward, no compensation for overspending and reasonable sharing" in the hospital group, which continued to strengthen cooperation, optimize services, reduce costs, and improve health outcomes. The authors employed the game theory to build a game model of medical alliance under Luohu global budget management mode, discussing the reasons of medical and health institution′s stronger cooperation and what could be improved in Luohu′s case. Based on the experience of Luohu total budget management, it is suggested that when implementing total budget, all localities should improve closed-loop management, expand coverage, adopt compound medical insurance payment method, promote outpatient coordination, strengthen assessment and incentives, so as to give full play to the incentive role of total budget.

Germany has introduced the " point method" of fee-for-service at the outpatient departments under a global budget system, in an effort to curb medical expenditure growth. The authors employed the game theory to build a physician′s game model under Germany′s point method, illustrating the causes of " increasing points" behaviors of physicians, the negative effects caused by the increase of points as well as the prevention and control measures employed by Germany and its mechanism. Point method payment has been introduced in several areas in China at their inpatient departments, which is delivered to medical service providers via the performance-based distribution model, with the providers affected in their behaviors. As a result, some areas will tend to appear such " increasing points" behaviors as competing for patients, lowering admission criteria, and raising point value. In view of Germany′s experiences, China should adopt such measures as dynamic monitoring system, disclosure of " increasing points " behaviors, perfection of hierarchical medical system, and strengthening the self-governance via medical sector′s associations.

Objective:To analyze, with Wuhan as an example, the problems found in the infrastructure development of China′s healthcare institutions, and put forward optimization suggestions for future epidemic prevention and control.Methods:From May to June 2020, we surveyed with questionnaires 56 healthcare institutions in Wuhan, covering such aspects as basic information of the institutions, infectious disease infrastructure readiness, and the converted wards for COVID-19. Statistical descriptions were used to analyze data so acquired.Results:The number of beds in the infectious departments of healthcare institutions in Wuhan amounted to 1.64 per 10 000 people, yet the existing 1 873 beds and about 5 000 convertible beds failed to meet the medical needs against the outbreak of COVID-19. After the outbreak, a total of 19 084 convertible beds were set up, of which general hospitals accounted for 88%; the area occupied by each converted bed in traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, hospitals of traditional and Western medicine, and maternal and child hospitals (<30.0m 2) was lower than that in general hospitals and specialist hospitals (>40.0m 2). Conclusions:Healthcare institutions should scientifically allocate " peacetime-wartime adaptive" hospital beds, optimize both the number and efficiency of these beds, and prepare for the worst scenarios, so that the infrastructure can be built and maintained in strict accordance with standards, government departments can rationally arrange infectious disease prevention and control facilities and strengthen their planning in case of emergencies.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of general anesthesia on microelectrode recording (MER) during deep brain stimulation (DBS) of subthalamic nucleus (STN) in the patients with primary Parkinson′s disease (PD).Methods:Forty-four patients of both sexes with primary PD (duration of disease ≥ 5 yr and/or obvious symptom fluctuation), undergoing bilateral STN DBS from March 2008 to March 2018, aged<80 yr, were selected and divided into 2 groups by a random number table method: awake group ( n=26) and general anesthesia group ( n=18). In awake group, 0.5% ropivacaine was used for incision infiltration at skin incision.Patients in GA group received propofol and remifentanil by target-controlled infusion with Narcotrend to monitor the depth of anesthesia, and 0.5% ropivacaine was used for incision infiltration at skin incision.The total number of trajectories and length of STN were recorded during MER.Movement disorders were evaluated at 1 week before surgery and 6 months after surgery, and the improvement rate of dyskinesia was calculated.The postoperative anesthesia-, hardware- and stimulation-related complications were recorded. Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in the total number of trajectories, length of STN and improvement rate of postoperative movement disorders ( P>0.05). Conclusion:General anesthesia does not affect the MER during STN DBS in the patients with primary PD.

Objective:The characteristics and prognosis of ear fullness feeling in patients with all-frequency sudden deafness were explored.Method:104 patients (104 ears) with unilateral all-frequency sudden deafness were collected in study from June 2015 to March 2019, including 50 males and 54 females, the mean age ranged from 23-65 years, and the disease duration ranged from 1-9 days. Of those, 56 patients accompanied with the feeling of ear fullness (FEF) were enrolled into'the ear fullness group′, and 48 patients without FEF were included in'the without ear fullness group′. Patients′ treatment strategy followed the Chinese Medical Association Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of sudden deafness (2015). Moreover, VAS scale scores and subjective grading of FEF were acquired in patients with FEF. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and prognosis of FEF with SPSS 23.0 software.Results:There were no differences between the two groups in terms of age, gender, duration of disease, the side of deaf ear, degree of hearing loss, and auditory brainstem evoked potential results (age, t=1.566; gender,χ 2=0.001; duration, t=0.057; side,χ 2=0.033; degree of hearing loss Z=-0.180; ABR,χ 2=0.001;all P>0.05) . There was a positive correlation between the subjective grading of FEF and the degree of hearing loss in patients with FEF ( r=0.599, P<0.001) . The total rate of hearing improvement following one month of treatments in patients with FEF vs with no FEF was 35/56(62.5%) vs 28/48(58.3%) ( Z=-0.641, P=0.521). After one month of treatment, the total effective rate of FEF was 94.6%(53/56), and the improvement of FEF had nothing to improvement of hearing ( r=0.040, P=0.769) . Conclusions:The degree of hearing loss is positively correlated with the degree of FEF in patients with all-frequency sudden deafness. Hearing recovery is not related to FEF. The recovery effect of FEF is good, and has no correlation with hearing recovery.
