The construction of smart hospitals is a critical pathway to promote the high-quality development of China′s healthcare system and an important direction for innovation in hospital managment services. In March 2022, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine launched the smart hospital construction based on smart middle platforms(data platform, technology platform, and business platform), supported by technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and blockchain, focusing on data integration, business integration, intelligent services and fine management. This practice had built three major application platforms for smart services, smart healthcare, and smart management, and developed intelligent inquiry and triage systems, smart pharmacies, remote emergency systems, smart doctor assistants, smart wards, and multi center scientific research collaboration platforms based on these platforms. These applications were suitable for various scenarios. This smart hospital had promoted the upgrading and transformation of services, healthcare, and management, and achieved good results. From 2022 to 2024, the average outpatient waiting time was reduced from 60 min to 39 min, and the average inpatient length of stay decreased from 4.7 d to 4.5 d. As of March 2024, 11 5G-enabled smart wards had been deployed, significantly improving resource utilization and enhancing patient care experiences. This practice could provide a reference path for the construction of China′s smart hospital.

As a physical treatment technique, modified electro-convulsive therapy (MECT) is used to treat mental and certain neurological disorders by causing seizures with short, suitable electrical currents applied to the brain while the patient is under general anesthesia and muscle relaxants. MECT is recognized for its therapeutic efficacy and clinical safety, rendering it one of the most prevalent interventions in psychiatric care. To enhance clinical outcomes and minimize adverse effects, this consensus document delineates the indications, therapeutic parameters, therapeutic procedures, potential adverse effects, and associated management strategies for MECT. These guidelines are informed by the latest clinical research and expert consensus, integrating evidence-based medicine methodologies. The objective is to furnish clinicians with precise operational guidelines and to advance the standardization of MECT practices in clinical settings.

Depression,with its characteristics of high prevalence,younger onset age,and high suicide rate,has repeatedly become the focus of societal discussion.It severely impairs the quality of life of patients and affects the development of the economy.Currently,treatments for depression are limited and vary in effectiveness.An increasing number of patients are classified as having treatment-resistant depression.In order to improve the cure rate further,numerous non-pharmacological treatments have been explored,among which physical therapies have garnered significant attention.This article provides a brief overview and discussion of recent physical treatments for treatment-resistant depression,offering new prospects for the field and inspiring readers with fresh ideas.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of rib's strapping-traction technology using absorbable implants combined with memory-alloy ribs embracing fixator in treating multiple rib fractures under video-assisted thoracoscope.Methods A retrospective case control study was performed to analyze 178 patients with multiple rib fractures treated from January 2015 to June 2017.According to the operation method,all patients were divided into observation group (91 patients) and control group (87 patients).The observation group including 59 males and 32 females aged (39.7 ± 7.8)years adopted internal fixation by rib's strapping-traction technology using absorbable implants combined with memory alloy ribs embracing fixator under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.The control group including 56 males and 31 females aged (40.2 ± 6.9) years adopted internal fixation by conventional rib's clamping-traction technology using towel forcep combined with memory-alloy ribs embracing fixator under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.The incision length,single rib internal fixation time,number of internal fixation rib fractures,visual analogue scale (VAS) score on postoperative 1 d,postoperative chest drainage,postoperative hospital stay,and postoperative fracture healing were compared between the two groups.Results All patients were followed up for 3-30 months (mean,16.7 months).All operations were successful,with no case of thoracotomy.The observation group had shorter incision length [(4.3 ± 1.2) cm vs.(6.2 ± 1.7) cm] and single rib internal fixation time [(10.3±2.9)min vs.(14.1 ±2.3)min] than the control group (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05) between the two groups in number of internal fixation rib fractures [(5.7±.3.6) vs.(5.9±3.3)],postoperative chest drainage [(668.3 ±131.4)ml vs.(703.7±116.2)ml],postoperative hospital stay [(6.4 ± 1.8) d vs.(6.8 ± 1.7) d],the VAS score on postoperative 1 d [0-3 point,62％ vs.61％;4-6 point,38％ vs.39％],postoperative osteophyte formation rate [postoperative 1 month,97％ vs.95％;postoperative 3 months,100％ vs.100％].Stable chest walls and thoracic deformity recovery were seen in all patients,with no significant complications occurred.Conclusion Rib's strapping-traction technology using absorbable implants combined with memory-alloy ribs embracing fixator under video-assisted thoracoscope is convenient and has exact efficacy for multiple rib fractures,with advantage of shorter incision length and operation time over conventional thoracoscopic surgery,and thus is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effect of modified electroconvulsive therapy (MECT) with different anesthetics on efficacy of patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Methods Ninety patients with TRD were enrolled in this study to receive a standard 8 times MECT. The HAMD-17 scale was evaluated before MECT and after the completion of the first, second, third, forth, sixth and eighth MECT session. The TESS scale was evaluated before MECT and after the completion of the last MECT session. Results Scores of HAMD-17 after the completion of the first, second, third, fourth, sixth and eighth MECT session were significantly reduced (P<0.05). There were significant differences of HAMD scales among the three groups since the first MECT session (P < 0.05). The remission rate of ketamine group, propofol group and mixed group was 96.7%, 43.3%, and 73.3% (P < 0.05). Conclusion MECT of ketamine anesthetic might contribute to the best effect of TRD.

Objective To investigate the state of perceived stigma,self-efficacy and quality of life of patients with mental disorders,and analyze the relationship among these variables,and explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy between the perceived stigma and quality of life.Methods Totally 406 patients with mental disorders were assessed with the Perceived Devaluation-Discrimination Scale (PDDS),Self-efficacy Scale (SES) and Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQOLS).Results The average score of PDDS was (2.44±0.36).The average score of GSES was (25.75±7.31).The perceived stigma,self-efficacy and quality of life were significantly correlated with each other.The self-efficacy played a mediating role between perceived stigma and quality of life.Conclusions The self-efficacy is the intermediary variable of perceived stigma and QOL of patients with mental disorders.
