Objective On the basis of the"dual improvement and dual enhancement"of medical services,analyze the results of the patient satisfaction evaluation questionnaire survey report,in order to provide suggestions and reference value for hospital satisfaction management work,improve patient satisfaction in hospitals,and enhance the medical experience.Methods Analyze the hospital management situation based on the results of 460 reports from a satisfaction questionnaire survey conducted in the third quarter of 2024 at a certain hospital.Results The overall satisfaction score of patients in the third quarter of 2024 was 92.26 points;Patients have higher satisfaction with the convenient process and doctors,but lower satisfaction with the envi-ronment and medical technology;Patients have higher satisfaction with nursing and doctors,but lower satisfaction with the envi-ronment and cafeteria.The main problems in hospitals are outpatient medical technology services,inpatient environment,and doctor-patient communication.0.77% of patients believe that hospitals need to strengthen convenient facilities,and 8.46% of patients believe that environmental sanitation needs to be strengthened.Conclusion Hospitals need to further improve the pa-tient's medical environment,optimize the examination process,shorten the waiting time for examinations,enhance the quality of medical technology,improve the quality of medical services,strengthen the notification of precautions,and promote harmonious doctor-patient relationships,in order to comprehensively achieve the"dual improvement"plan,improve patient satisfaction,and enhance the medical experience.

Objective:To translate the quality of life tool for patients with aplastic anaemia and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (QLQ-AA/PNH) into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:According to the scale translation principle, the Chinese version of QLQ-AA/PNH was formed through translation, back translation and cross-cultural adaptation. A cross-sectional survey method was used to conveniently select 58 patients with aplastic anemia who were treated in the hematology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from January 2018 to September 2023 for investigation, and to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:The Chinese version of QLQ-AA/PNH retains 36 items, and 5 common factors (psychological status dimension, life burden dimension, physical condition dimension, illness anxiety dimension and other symptom dimension) were extracted through exploratory factor analysis. The cumulative variance contribution rate reached 71.33%, and the factor load of each entry was greater than 0.5 on corresponding common factors. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale as a whole was 0.971, the broken half reliability coefficient was 0.985, the Cronbach α coefficient of each common factor was 0.637 to 0.954, and the broken half reliability coefficient was 0.637 to 0.930. Conclusions:The Chinese version of QLQ-AA/PNH has been proved to be valid and reliable. It is a valuable tool for evaluating the quality of life among patients with aplastic anaemia.

Background and purpose:As one of the first-line treatment methods for differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC),131I treatment is an important therapeutic approach for most patients with medium-high recurrence risk DTC after total or near-total thyroidectomy.Risk stratification and real-time dynamic assessment before 131I treatment after surgery are important steps in deciding on 131I treatment,enabling individualized treatment.This retrospective study aimed to explore the role of diagnostic whole body scan(DxWBS)in the decision-making of treatment for DTC after surgery and before 131I therapy.Methods:DTC patients who underwent pre-ablation evaluation were included.Patients were divided into low,medium and high sTg groups based on their pre-131I treatment stimulated thyroglobulin(sTg)levels(＜1 ng/mL,1 ng/mL≤sTg＜10 ng/mL,sTg≥10 ng/mL).The concordance rates of DxWBS and post treatment whole body scan(RxWBS)in each patient of the whole cohort were compared.The lesion detection rate between DxWBS and RxWBS in different sTg level groups was also explored.The"thyroid stunning effect"by DxWBS was evaluated by RxWBS.Through these analyses,the role of DxWBS in 131I treatment decision-making and its predicting treatment objectives were assessed.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Peking Union Medical College Hospital,Peking Union Medical College,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences(ethics number:JS-2151).Results:A total of 91 patients were included.The low,medium and high sTg groups accounted for 15.4%(14/91),34.1%(31/91)and 50.5%(46/91)of the patients,respectively.Comparison of DxWBS and RxWBS results in the same patients in each sTg group showed no evidence of a stunning effect on 131I treatment.The overall concordance rate between DxWBS and RxWBS was 89.0%(81/91);In different sTg level groups was 100.0%(14/14),90.3%(28/31),84.8%(39/46)respectively.Taking sTg levels into consideration,DxWBS accurately predicted the need for total thyroidectomy,with a 100%(20/20)agreement with RxWBS.Among the 71 patients who received adjuvant therapy and/or remnant ablation due to suspected elevated Tg or high recurrence risk stratification or the iodine-avid metastatic lesions identified by DxWBS,87.5%(63/71)showed only residual thyroid tissue by DxWBS;Through the purpose verification by RxWBS and single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)/CT,only 12.7%(9/71)of cases were verified as adjuvant or tumoricidal treatment due to iodine-avid cervical lymph node and/or lung metastasis identified by RxWBS,87.3%(62/71)were residual thyroid ablation.In the medium and high sTg group,the overall detection rate of functional cervical lymph node metastasis by DxWBS and RxWBS was 5.5%(5/91).For the detection of functional lung metastases,the overall detection rate of DxWBS was slightly lower than that of RxWBS(3.3%vs 5.5%).This indicates that DxWBS can be used to accurately pre-judge the purposes of 131I treatment,particularly for thyroid ablation and adjuvant therapy.Conclusion:DxWBS did not induce"thyroid stunning"effect.Integrating DxWBS as a theranostic tool into the real-time decision-making and evaluation system of 131I treatment,as well as with sTg and other biochemical indicators,may help to bridge the limitations of static evaluations based on pathology and clinical data,and provides a clear understanding and more precise objectives of 131I treatment.

Objective:To analyze the differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with adenomyosis of different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) types and the differences in treatment effects after the application of dienogest.Methods:A total of 176 patients with adenomyosis who were admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from June 2017 to February 2023 were included in the study, and all of them were clearly classified by pelvic MRI and treated with dienogest. The clinical characteristics and treatment of the patients were retrospectively collected, and the patients were divided into endogenous type, exogenous type and penetrating type by MRI. The differences in clinical symptoms, imaging features and treatment effect of patients with adenomyosis of different MRI types were analyzed.Results:(1) The percentages of patients with endogenous, exogenous, and penetrating types were 40.9% (72/176), 35.2% (62/176) and 23.9% (42/176), respectively. The proportion of dysmenorrhea in patients with endogenous type (90.3%, 65/72) was significantly lower than those of exogenous type (100.0%, 62/62) and penetrating type (97.6%, 41/42; χ2=7.853, P=0.020), while there was no significant difference between exogenous type and penetrating type ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in menarche time, menstrual cycle and menstrual period among the three types of patients (all P>0.05), there was also no statistically significant difference in the proportion of menstrual abnormalities (including heavy and irregular menstrual bleeding; P>0.05). The proportions of ovarian endometrioma and deep infiltrating endometriosis in exogenous and penetrating types were significantly higher than that in endogenous type (all P<0.05). (2) The pain scores of all patients were significantly lower than those before treatment (all P<0.001), the proportion of patients with exogenous type (62.9%, 39/62) who had complete remission after treatment was higher than those of endogenous type (49.2%, 32/65) and penetrating type (46.3%, 19/41), but there was no significant difference in pain relief (i.e. the variation in the pain scores) between the three types ( P>0.05). (3) Endogenous type ( OR=0.361, 95% CI: 0.147-0.883; P=0.026), failure to apply gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) in advance ( OR=0.208, 95% CI: 0.083-0.518; P<0.001), cystic changes ( OR=2.671, 95% CI: 1.108-6.437; P=0.029) and abnormal menstruation ( OR=3.466, 95% CI: 1.464-8.209; P=0.005) were independent risk factors for irregular bleeding after dienogest treatment. Conclusions:(1) There are obvious differences in the clinical characteristics of patients with adenomyosis of different MRI types, and patients with exogenous and penetrating types are more likely to have dysmenorrhea symptoms. (2) Dienogest could significantly alleviate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea in patients with adenomyosis. (3) Endogenous type, failure to take GnRH-a in advance and associated menstrual abnormalities are independent risk factors for irregular bleeding after dienogest treatment.

Objective This study aims to analyze the adverse event reporting situation,in order to provide suggestions and reference value for hospital adverse event management,and to ensure medical safety.Methods 1459 cases of adverse event reports from a certain hospital's adverse event system from January 1,2023 to December 31,2023 were selected,and the current management status of adverse events was analyzed.Results In the category of adverse events,the top three are drug adverse re-actions,medical equipment,and medical management;in terms of adverse event levels,there was one level Ⅰ event and 56 levelⅡ events;the main causes of adverse events were related to reporting processes,system implementation,and employee manage-ment.Conclusion Strengthening the management of adverse events,paying attention to training in reporting processes,enhan-cing training for employees and adverse event management personnel,and improving systems are necessary to effectively ensure medical safety,and promote the stable development of hospitals.

Purpose To investigate the correlation between tumor budding in penile squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)and its clinicopathological features.Methods Clinical data and pathological slides from 69 cases of penile SCC were collected.Tumor budding was examined microscopically,and statistical analyses were performed to assess the relationship between tumor budding and various clinicopathological features.Results Among the 69 cases of pe-nile SCC,41 cases exhibited low-grade tumor budding and 28 cases displayed high-grade tumor budding.Tumor bud-ding was significantly correlated with tumor size,urethral invasion,invasion of the urethral corpus spongiosum,inva-sion of the penile corpus cavernosum,tumor necrosis,nerve invasion,vascular tumor thrombus,and pathological T stage(all P＜0.05).In contrast,no significant association was found between tumor budding and HPV-related versus non-HPV-related penile SCC(P＞0.05).Log-rank survival analysis indicated that patients with high-grade tumor bud-ding had a significantly lower survival rate compared to those with low-grade tumor budding(P＜0.05).Conclusion Tumor budding is a distinct pathological feature of penile SCC,and high-grade tumor budding is associated with a more aggressive biological behavior.

Objective:To understand the genetic characteristics of varicella-zoster virus（VZV）prevalent in Qinghai province，China since 2020.Methods:A total of 54 pharyngeal swab specimens were collected from sporadic suspected varicella cases in Qinghai province in 2020，2023，and 2024. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used for etiological screening of the specimens. Sequencing of three genes，namely ORF22，ORF38，and ORF62，and single-nucleotide polymorphism（SNP）analysis were performed on VZV nucleic acid-positive specimens.Results:All 54 suspected varicella cases were diagnosed with VZV infection，and three gene sequences were successfully obtained from 53 specimens. The results of genotype identification showed that all VZV infection case specimens obtained in this study in Qinghai province were wild strains. Among them，4 specimens in 2020 were of clade 2 type；among 14 specimens in 2023，7 were of clade 2 type and the remaining 7 were of clade 5 type；among 35 specimens in 2024，27 were of clade5 type，5 were of clade 2 type，and 3 were of clade 4 type. The SNP results showed that in 2023 and 2024，one specimen each had an A→G base mutation at position 37 990，and in 2024，3 specimens had a T→C base mutation at position 37946. Among them，the sequences containing the former mutation have been prevalent and spread in multiple regions of China，and the latter has not been reported in other regions of China.Conclusion:From 2020 to 2024 in Qinghai province，at least three genotypes of VZV，namely clade 2 type，clade 5 type，and clade 4 type，co-prevailed，and the clade 5 genotype of VZV may become the dominant prevalent strain.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of primary renal dedifferentiated liposarcoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 10 patients diagnosed with renal dedifferentiated liposarcoma in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to December 2023. The cohort consisted of 8 males and 2 females, with a mean age of (59.0±6.8) years. Tumors were located in the left kidney in 8 cases and in the right kidney in 2 cases. Presentations included flank or abdominal masses in 4 patients, back pain in 3 patients, and asymptomatic in 3 patients. Imaging studies revealed solitary lesions in 9 cases and multiple lesions in 1 case. The maximum tumor diameter ranged from 95 to 178 mm, with a median of 119.5 mm. CT showed tumors within the renal parenchyma with unclear boundaries and displayed a "slow in, slow out" pattern of gradual enhancement. Clinical staging revealed T 2N 0M 0 in 3 cases, T 3N 0M 0 in 4 cases, T 4N 0M 0 in 3 cases, and T 2N 1M 0 in 1 case. Nine patients underwent radical nephrectomy, including 4 laparoscopic surgeries, 4 open surgeries, and 1 robotic-assisted with thrombectomy. One patient, presenting with multiple lymph node metastases confirmed by PET-CT, underwent a diagnostic biopsy. Postoperative pathological features, follow-up and prognosis were analyzed. Results:Pathological specimens appeared grayish-red, grayish-yellow or grayish-white cut surfaces with soft to moderate texture. Microscopically, tumor cells were ovoid or short spindle-shaped with significant atypia and cytoplasmic vacuoles, with visible pathological mitoses. Six cases showed only dedifferentiated components with tumor giant cells and multinucleated giant cells resembling pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, with focal tumor necrosis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed MDM2 gene amplification in all cases. All cases were diagnosed as primary renal dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Pathological staging showed 4 cases as pT 2N 0M 0, 3 cases as pT 3N 0M 0, 2 cases as pT 4N 0M 0, and 1 case lacked pathological staging due to biopsy only. Five patients received postoperative adjuvant therapy, including two pT 2N 0M 0 cases who received immunotherapy and apatinib treatment respectively, with no recurrence. One pT 3N 0M 0 case received anlotinib treatment, with local recurrence after 12 months, followed by radiofrequency ablation combined with chemotherapy. Two pT 4N 0M 0 cases received ifosfamide combined with epirubicin and pirarubicin combined with lobaplatin respectively, with one case showing no progression at 11 months follow-up, and another case developing splenic metastasis 3 months post-surgery, followed by chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy, surviving for 20 months. Among the 4 cases without adjuvant therapy, two pT 2N 0M 0 cases developed multiple metastases within 1 month post-surgery and received immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy and/or chemotherapy, surviving 4-5 months.One of the two pT 3N 0M 0 cases developed local recurrence 2 months post-surgery and received chemotherapy, surviving 6 months, and another pT 3N 0M 0 case developed gluteal subcutaneous metastasis 1 month post-surgery and received immunotherapy combined with targeted therapy, surviving 8 months.One non-surgical pT 2N 1M 0 patient received chemotherapy and survived for 15 months. All patients were followed up for 4-52 months, with a median follow-up time of 11 months. At the last follow-up, 6 patients died and 4 survived. Conclusions:Primary renal dedifferentiated liposarcoma is clinically rare, with atypical symptoms and difficult preoperative diagnosis, relying on pathology for confirmation. Radical nephrectomy is the main treatment method, but surgery alone has poor prognosis with high recurrence and metastasis rates. Adjuvant therapy based on surgery may improve patient prognosis.Larger sample studies are needed for confirmation.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the correlation of cerebral perfusion and cognitive function status in patients with minor stroke(MS)or transient ischemic attack(TIA)complicated by severe intracranial arterial stenosis or occlusion(hereafter referred to as ICAS-MSTIA).Methods Retrospectively enrol consecutive ICAS-MSTIA patients admitted to the Department of Neurology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,from June 2023 to May 2024.In the meantime,healthy controls were openly recruited.The ICAS-MSTIA patients were divided into two groups based on the side of intracranial large artery stenosis or occlusion:the left intracranial large artery involvement group and the right intracranial large artery involvement group.All patients with intracranial large artery stenosis or occlusion underwent MR scanning within 2 weeks after the first episode of TIA or MS,while there was no specific time requirement for MR examination in the healthy control group.On the day of MR scanning,the Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)scale was used to evaluate the participants'global cognitive function and performance in various cognitive domains,including visuospatial/executive function,naming,attention,language,abstraction,delayed recall,and orientation.General information of all participants was collected,including age,sex,educational level,body mass index,and history of smoking and alcohol consumption.Clinical data were collected from both left and right intracranial large artery involvement groups,including cerebrovascular risk factors(such as,diabetes mellitus,hypertension,and hyperlipidemia),National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score at admission,responsible stenotic or occluded arteries(internal carotid artery,middle cerebral artery),degree of stenosis in the responsible vessel(severe stenosis[stenosis rate 70%-99%],occlusion[stenosis rate100%])and non-responsible vessel(no stenosis[0],mild stenosis[stenosis rate＞0-49%]),collateral circulation compensation(American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology[ASTIN/SIR]collateral circulation classification),and responsible events(TIA,MS).General data and MoCA scale scores were compared across the three groups,while clinical data were compared between the left and right intracranial large artery involvement groups.Statistical parametric mapping 12(SPM 12)was used to perform voxel-wise independent samples t-tests on cerebral blood flow(CBF)differences among the left ICAS-MSTIA group,right ICAS-MSTIA group,and healthy control group,with cluster-level family-wise error(FWE)correction applied for adjustment.Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between global CBF values and total MoCA scores in ICAS-MSTIA patients with left or right intracranial large artery involvement.Results A total of 33 ICAS-MSTIA patients and 33 healthy controls were enrolled in the study.Among the ICAS-MSTIA patients,21 had left intracranial large artery involvement and 12 had right involvement.(1)Among the three groups,statistically significant differences were observed in the proportions of individuals with reported smoking history(P=0.024)and alcohol consumption history(P=0.011).The left intracranial large artery involvement group had a higher NIHSS score(0[0,2]vs.0[0,0],P=0.044)and a higher proportion of patients with internal carotid artery involvement(13/21 cases vs.2/12 cases,P=0.027)compared with the right side group.No statistically significant differences were observed in other general or clinical data across the three groups or between the two non-control groups(all P＞0.05).(2)Statistically significant differences were found across the three groups in the MoCA scale total score and scores of visuospatial/executive function,attention,language,abstraction,delayed recall,and orientation cognitive domains(all P＜0.05),while no significant difference was noted in the naming score(P=0.063).The left intracranial large artery involvement group had lower total MoCA score and lower scores in visuospatial/executive function,attention,language,abstraction,delayed recall,and orientation in comparison to the healthy control group(all P＜0.016 7).The right intracranial large artery involvement group had significantly lower scores in language,abstraction,and orientation domains than the healthy control group(all P＜0.016 7).Additionally,the left side group had a lower attention domain score than the right side group(P＜0.016 7).No other statistically significant differences were found in pairwise comparisons(all P＞0.016 7).(3)Patients in both the left and right intracranial large artery involvement groups exhibited a significant decrease in CBF in extensive regions on the affected side,including the temporal lobe,dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,and occipital lobe.Furthermore,after correction,in the left involvement group CBF was higher in the contralateral lingual gyrus,cuneus,and calcarine sulcus compared with the healthy control group(P＜0.05).While in the right involvement group,no regions had increased CBF compared to the healthy control group.(4)Multiple linear regression showed positive correlation between CBF in ipsilateral precentral gyrus and superior temporal gyrus,and the total MoCA score in patients with left intracranial large artery involvement(FWE-corrected,P＜0.05).In contrast,there was no correlation between CBF and total MoCA score in patients with right intracranial large artery involvement.Conclusions ICAS-MSTIA patients exhibited various degrees of impairment in cerebral perfusion and cognitive function.A significant positive correlation is observed between these two impairments in patients with left intracranial large artery involvement.
