Objective:To explore the impact of emergency response to public health emergencies on the efficiency of pre-hospital emergency work, and study the degree of impact on 120 ambulance dispatchers in Chongqing city during pre-periods and post-periods of the emergency intervention.Methods:Taking 120 phone answering and ambulance operation efficiency as the research subjects, we collected pre-hospital emergency case data from a city's emergency medical center, covering the period from November 10, 2021 to January 6, 2023. The cases were divided into groups according to the time periods of emergency response. A regression discontinuity design method was employed to compare the response of emergency intervention to the predictions (virtual cases) without the emergency intervention, obtaining the average intervention effect.Results:During the study period of 27 days, the number of 120 calls picked up within 10 seconds increased from 11 000 to 19 000, but the answering rate slightly decreased within 10 seconds. The vacancy rate of 120 ambulances during emergency response decreased from 0.39% to 0.20%, but the completion rate within 18 minutes decreased from 72% to 30%. In this particular emergency response period, the number of patient complaints (such as high fever and difficulty breathing) increased compared to the pre-period of emergency response.Conclusion:Emergency response significantly impacts pre-hospital emergency work such as emergency phone answering and ambulance operation efficiency. This study provides empirical research results and decision-making support for urban emergency medical services to respond to public health emergencies.

As a structural barrier, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is located at the interface between the brain parenchyma and blood, and modulates communication between the brain and blood microenvironment to maintain homeostasis. The BBB is composed of endothelial cells, basement membrane, pericytes, and astrocytic end feet. BBB impairment is a distinguishing and pathogenic factor in diabetic encephalopathy. Diabetes causes leakage of the BBB through downregulation of tight junction proteins, resulting in impaired functioning of endothelial cells, pericytes, astrocytes, microglia, nerve/glial antigen 2-glia, and oligodendrocytes. However, the temporal regulation, mechanisms of molecular and signaling pathways, and consequences of BBB impairment in diabetes are not well understood. Consequently, the efficacy of therapies diabetes targeting BBB leakage still lags behind the requirements. This review summarizes the recent research on the effects of diabetes on BBB composition and the potential roles of glial and vascular cells as therapeutic targets for BBB disruption in diabetic encephalopathy.

Objective To analyze and summarize the treatment strategies for unstable angina with no-reflow phenomenon after PTCA during early percutaneous interventional procedures.Methods A total of 32 cases with unstable angina were divided into two groups:one group with drug therapy and the other group with drug therapy and thrombus aspiration catheter.The patients were chosen when there was no-reflow phenomenon after PTCA during early percutaneous interventional procedures and their clinical data were compared and analyzed.Blood flow TIMI grade,myocardial perfusion grade (MBG),TIMI myocardial perfusion (TMP) grade and other indexes were observed and recorded.Results The general conditions had no statistical difference between two groups.Compared with the drug therapy group,the proportion of patients with TIMI,MBG and TMP grade 3 was higher in aspiration and drug therapy group (89％ VS 71％ P＜0.05).Conclusion Drug therapy and thrombus aspiration catheter in treatment helps to improve myocardial perfusion level for unstable angina with no no-reflow phenomenon after PTCA during early percutaneous interventional procedures.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and differential diagnosis value of multisequences magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP).Methods The MRI data of twelve AIP patients were retrospectively analyzed.The sequences of MRI included T1 weighted imaging,T2-weighted imaging,magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP),diffusionweighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic enhancement images.The location and involving extent of lesions,signal,patterns of dynamic enhancement,changes of pancreatic and biliary duct,pseudo-capsule sign and other accompanying signs were observed.Twelve pancreatic cancer patients and twelve other patients with normal pancreas were set as controls.The imaging signs of AIP group and pancreatic cancer group were compared with Fisher's exact test.On the sequence of DWI,the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of pancreatic interested region of the three groups were tested and compared with least significant difference t test.At each period of enhanced MRI,the intensity ratios of pancreatic interested region to the left paraspinal muscle at the same level of the three groups were measured and compared with Pillai's Trace test.Results Among 12 patients with AIP,seven were diffused lesion,four were localized lesion,and one was multiple lesions.Among 12 pancreatic cancer patients,one was diffused lesion,and eleven were localized lesion.The difference of these two groups was statisfically significant (Fisher's exact test,P＜0.01).Among 12 AIP patients,on the T1-weighted image,intensity decreased in nine lesions,two cases without obvious intensity decreasing,and one case unevenly increased.On the T2 weighted image,intensity slightly increased in nine lesions,equal in one case,and slightly lowered in two cases.The ADC value of the lesions of AIP group ((1.011 ± 0.118) × 10 3 s/mm2) was lower than that of normal pancreas group ((1.489 ± 0.072) × 10 3 s/mm2) and pancreatic cancer group ((1.274 ± 0.120) × 10 3 s/mm2),and the differences were statistically significant (t=-11.793,-4.300; both P＜0.01).Among 12 AIP patients,the pancreatic duct of the lesions was irregular segmental sclerosis and stenosis in four patients.Pseudo-capsule sign around the lesions of pancreas was seen in seven patients.Among 12 pancreatic cancer patients,the pancreatic duct of the lesions was stenotic in two patients while the pseudo-capsule sign wasn't found.The differences of these two groups were statistically significant (Fisher's exact test,both P＜0.01).Dynamic enhanced MRI showed that enhancement patterns of the lesions of both AIP and pancreatic cancer presented progressive enhancement.However,during the balanced period,the signal intensity ratio of AIP group (3.34±1.40) was significantly higher than that of pancreatic cancer group (2.38 ± 0.18),and the difference was statistically significant (F =60.703,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Combination of a variety of sequences of MRI can help to fully reflect the pathological and biological characteristics of AIP and increase the accuracy of diagnosis.
