The establishment of an intelligent audit system for hospital medical insurance is crucial for standardizing irrational practices and curbing the unwarranted escalation of medical insurance costs. A tertiary hospital has developed comprehensive prescription review rules in terms of indications, nutritional risk assessments, pain score evaluations, drug sensitivity test results, and target patient populations. When using medical insurance funds for settlement, both systematic and manual reviews are conducted, and three-level intervention measures such as " prompt, review, and interception" are implemented based on prescription issues. After the system was put into use, the hospital′s in-process information system supervision mode shifted from the previous focus on prompts to focus on audits. The medical insurance intelligent audit system provided timely prompts and interventions, and the number of unreasonable medical insurance prescriptions and deductions from medical insurance sampling prescriptions significantly decreased ( P<0.001), while the number of medical insurance medication prescription audits increased ( P<0.001). The application of the intelligent medical insurance medication audit system has improved the efficiency of prescription auditing and ensured the rationality of the use of medical insurance funds.

Objective:To analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics of mpox patients, thereby to rise clinicians′ awareness of severe mpox and provide a foundation for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 41 mpox patients treated at the Beijing You′an Hospital, Capital Medical University, from June to November 2023. Patients were categorized into mild and severe cases based on clinical manifestations, and laboratory results of the two groups were compared. Statistical analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The clinical manifestations of 41 mpox patients mainly included fever, rash and lymphadenopathy. Five patients with severe mpox might develop serious complications, including bacterial pneumonia, type Ⅰ respiratory failure, fungal infections, penile or perianal dry gangrene, penile soft tissue edema, intestinal obstruction, septic shock, perianal abscess, and necrotizing fasciitis. Patients with severe mpox had significantly higher white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count and C-reactive protein (CRP) level compare to those with mild cases (14.60(9.92, 24.08)×10 9/L vs 6.41(5.64, 8.37)×10 9/L, 12.43(7.02, 21.15)×10 9/L vs 3.35(2.46, 5.03)×10 9/L, 108.20(56.20, 124.10) mg/L vs 16.6(6.25, 49.98) mg/L), while the albumin level and CD4 + T lymphocyte count in the severe group were significantly lower compared to the mild cases (31.80(22.90, 35.15) g/L vs 44.70(42.90, 47.40) g/L, 24.00(12.00, 81.50)/μL vs 606.00(414.50, 767.50)/μL)). All these differences were statistically significant ( U=2.81, 3.02, 2.98, 3.56 and 3.26, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions:In clinical practice, clinicians should be vigilant for the possibility of severe mpox if patients exhibit a significant increase of WBC and CRP, a significant decrease in CD4 + T lymphocyte count, or if they develop severe complications.

Objective:To study the inhibitory effect of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) on aortic injury in mice with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) arteriosclerosis.Methods:APOE -/- mice were injected with norphytane and high fat diet to establish lupus vascular injury model. Then the mice were divided into normal control group (ND group), high fat diet group (HFD group), high fat diet+ SLE vascular injury group (HFD+ SLE group), high fat diet+ SLE vascular injury+ hydroxychloroquine treatment group (HFD+ SLE+ Hydro group), high fat diet+ SLE vascular injury+ EPCs treatment group (HFD+ SLE+ EPCs group). At the end of the experiment, urine, blood and aortic tissues of mice in each group were collected, and the content of urinary protein and the depth of serum type I interferon (IFN-Ⅰ) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The activation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate synthase/interferon gene stimulating factor/type I interferon (cGAS/STING/IFN-Ⅰ) pathway, the levels of inflammatory factors, adhesion fractions and chemokines in the aorta of mice in each group were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting (WB). The lipid deposition in the aorta was detected by oil red staining. Results:The results of ELISA showed that the levels of urinary protein and serum IFN-Ⅰ in HFD+ SLE group were higher than those in normal control group. EPCs treatment could reduce the levels of urinary protein and serum IFN-Ⅰ in SLE atherosclerotic mice. WB results showed that the expression of CD19, CD68, CD34, chemokine, cGAS, p-STING, phosphorylated TANK binding kinase 1 (p-TBK1), phosphorylated interferon regulatory factor 3 (p-IRF3) and IFN-Ⅰ increased in HFD+ SLE group, and hydroxychloroquine and EPCs decreased the levels of these factors. CGAS/STING/IFN-Ⅰ signal pathway is involved in the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis in SLE patients; both EPCs and hydroxychloroquine can inhibit the activation of cGAS/STING/IFN-Ⅰ signal, thus reducing atherosclerosis in SLE mice.Conclusions:cGAS/STING/IFN-Ⅰ pathway is involved in the development of SLE atherosclerosis. EPCs can inhibit the activation of cGAS/STING signal, reduce the expression and secretion of IFN-Ⅰ, and then reduce vascular inflammation and inhibit the development of SLE-related atherosclerosis.

Objective:To investigate the unqualified hepatitis C virus (HCV) detection result of blood donors from the served area of blood institutions.Methods:The data related to HCV markers detected of the first and repeat blood donors were collected from the system of practice comparison for the Chinese mainland blood institutions from 2017 to 2021. The anti-HCV reactive rate and the rates of anti-HCV negative but HCV-RNA reaction and all the relationship between rates and the annual, regional and different blood donors were statistically analyzed.Results:During 2017-2021, the number of anti-HCV reactive per 100 000 blood donors decreased from 444.3 to 250.44 in the served area of 22 blood institutions ( χ2=49.677, P<0.05). The number of HCV RNA detected positive per 100 000 anti-HCV negative increased from 0.69 to 2.05 year by year, but there was no statistical significance ( χ2=0.643, P>0.05). The anti-HCV unqualified rate was significantly different among regions ( χ2=3 260.283, P<0.05). The anti-HCV unqualified rate of the first blood donors was significantly higher than that of the repeated blood donors ( F=130.993, P < 0.05). The annual number of HCV RNA detected positive per 100 000 anti-HCV negative blood samples from donors ranged from 0 to 17.28. Conclusions:The anti-HCV unqualified rate of blood donors in the served area of 22 blood institutions decreased year by year. Compared with repeated blood donors, HCV infection should be emphasized in first-time blood donors. The implementation of HCV RNA test can detect out much more HCV infections and reduce the risk of transfusion transmitted infectious HCV.
