Objective To explore the application efficacy of refined management on antimicrobial agents in a chest specialty hospital.Methods Multiple measures were implemented through perfecting management systems and processes,as well as conducting knowledge training,such as multi-dimensional specialized prescription reviewing,optimizing information systems,and implementing grid-based management of clinical pharmacist.A refined manage-ment mode for antimicrobial agents in a chest specialty hospital has been established.Antimicrobial management in-dicators for the whole hospital and each clinical specialty in 2023(before management)and 2024(after manage-ment)were analyzed.Results Compared with 2023,antimicrobial use rate among hospitalized patients in 2024 de-creased from 47.48％to 45.92％,and antimicrobial use density(AUD)decreased from 46.28 defined daily doses(DDDs)/(100 person·day)to 39.73 DDDs/(100 person·day).The ratio of antimicrobial cost to total drug cost decreased from 12.71％to 9.51％,and the per capita cost of antimicrobial use decreased from 1 344.18 Yuan to 975.52 Yuan.The use rate of prophylactic antimicrobial agents for class Ⅰ incision surgery increased from 84.48％to 89.52％,and the rationality rate increased from 69.25％to 94.53％.The management indicators of each clinical specialty improved significantly.Conclusion Through adopting a series of refined management measures,antimi-crobial management modes that are suitable for the actual situation of the hospital has been constructed,and obvious efficacy was achieved.Clinical application of antimicrobial agents is more standardized and rational.

This study was aimed at establishing a method of ultra-fast quantitative PCR for Brucella detection.We used an exogenous recombinant plasmid as the internal reference and targeted the T4SS secretion system,an important Brucella viru-lence factor,to design specific primers and probes.The sensitivity,specificity,and repeatability of this method were evaluated,and a standard curve was constructed.The coincidence rate of detection findings with this method versus quantitative PCR was determined.This method markedly decreased the detection time to only 10 minutes.The standard curve demonstrated a good linear relationship(Y=-3.410 7x+38.357,R2=0.998 5)with a low minimum detection limit of 10 copies/μL.The method exhibited good specificity and did not specifically amplify several common clinical bacteria other than Brucella.The de-tection of three concentrations of positive plasmids yielded coefficients of variation(CVs)of 0.20％to 0.91％,thus demonstra-ting the method's excellent repeatability.Furthermore,140 clinical samples were analyzed concurrently with the fluorescence PCR method,which yielded a 100％compliance rate and consistent results.Our findings indicated that the Brucella ultra-fast quantitative PCR was ultrafast;had high sensitivity,high specificity,and good specificity;and can be used for the clinical de-tection of Brucella and emergency investigation of epidemics.Therefore,this method is valuable for the early diagnosis of Bru-cella.

Aim To explore the antioxidative effect of the Chinese medicine Baitouweng(BTW)on treating ulcerative colitis(UC).Methods Sixty male mice were randomly divided into six groups:control,dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)(3 g·105 L-1),BTW(20,10,and 5 g·kg-1),and 5-aminosalicylic acid(5-ASA)(800 mg·kg-1).UC model was constructed by 3％DSS for seven days,and the UC model was given by ga-vage once daily from the 5 th day of modeling for seven days.Results BTW effectively reduced the symptoms and histopathological scores of UC mice.Additionally,it downregulated the inflammatory factors,interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-1 β,the immunoglobulins vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 and intercellular adhesion mole-cule 1,and metalloprotease matrix metallopeptidase 9.Moreover,it downregulated high mobility group box 1 protein.Furthermore,it inhibited the nuclear factor er-ythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)pathway.Conclusions BTW improves the general condition,inflammatory indexes and oxidative stress level,and its mechanism may be related to inhib-iting the level of HMGB1 to regulate the Nrf-2/HO-1 signaling pathway and rescue intestinal barrier-related protein expression.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of facilitated percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)with half-dose recombinant staphylokinase(r-SAK)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)who are expected to undergo PCI within 120 minutes.Methods From October 2021 to August 2022,a total of 200 STEMI patients in eight centers were included and randomly assigned in a 1﹕1 ratio to either r-SAK group or control group.Patients received loading doses of aspirin and ticagrelor and intravenous heparin and were randomized to receive an intravenous bolus of either 5 mg r-SAK or normal saline prior to PCI.The outcomes were set as ST-segment resolution(STR)at 60-90 minutes after PCI,the proportion and transition of pathological Q waves on the 5th day after PCI,and the proportion of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT)peaking within 12 hours of onset.The safety outcome was major bleeding events defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC)≥type 3 bleeding during hospitalization.Results Compared with the control group,the r-SAK group had a higher proportion of STR≥70%within 60-90 minutes after PCI(58.3%vs.40.3%,P=0.009);a lower proportion of pathological Q waves(59.1%vs.74.1%,P=0.040);a lower rate of Q wave progression(14.8%vs.43.2%,P＜0.001);a higher rate of Q wave disappearance(12.5%vs.3.7%,P=0.027);and a higher proportion of hs-cTnT peaking within 12 hours of symptom onset[31/40(77.5%)vs.17/33(51.5%),P=0.027].Regarding the safety outcome,no significant difference in BARC≥type 3 bleeding was found between the two groups during hospitalization(P＞0.05).Conclusions For STEMI patients who were expected to undergo primary PCI within 120 minutes of symptom onset,the facilitated PCI with half-dose r-SAK significantly increased the proportion of STR≥70%at 60-90 minutes after PCI,reduced the formation of pathological Q waves,and shortened the time to peak hs-cTnT,without increasing the risk of bleeding,which should be an alternative reperfusion strategy worthy of further study.

Objective This study aims to improve the evaluation index system for the operation of department levels in tertiary public hospitals,strengthen process management,and promote the comprehensive reform and high-quality development of public hospitals.Methods Through literature retrieval and theoretical analysis,a framework for the evaluation index system of department-level operation in tertiary general public hospitals was constructed,and evaluation indicators were initially proposed.Based on the Delphi method,a systematic sorting and adjustment of the evaluation indicators for department-level operation in public hospitals were carried out,and the evaluation index system was finally established.Results The response rates and effec-tive rates of the two rounds of questionnaires using the Delphi method were 90.00％and 83.33％,respectively.The authority co-efficient was 0.8,and the differences in coordination coefficients were statistically significant.The indicators passed the consis-tency test,and the final evaluation index system was composed of 5 first-level indicators,14 second-level indicators,and 43 third-level indicators.Conclusion The evaluation indicators for the operation of department levels in tertiary general public hos-pitals are conducive to guiding hospitals to improve their internal management level and providing support for the implementation of the high-quality development strategy of public hospitals.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rituximab (RTX) combined with short-term use of glucocorticoids in the treatment of the initial episode of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS).Methods:A retrospective case summary.A total of 30 children with SSNS treated in the Department of Intrarenal Rheumatism and Immunology, Xuzhou Children′s Hospital from December 2021 to March 2023, were enrolled in this study.They were given a standard dose of RTX (375 mg/m 2) and glucocorticoids for a short term.The patients were followed up for 1 year, and the general condition, changes in CD19 + B lymphocytes expression after RTX treatment, the relapse rate, the median relapse-free survival and adverse reactions of RTX were recorded.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the relapse-free survival time. Results:CD19 + B lymphocytes were depleted 2 weeks after RTX treatment, and the median time required for CD19 + B lymphocytes reconstitution was 5 months after RTX treatment.The 1-year relapse-free rate was 90.00%, and the median relapse-free survival was 11 months.The glucocorticoid discontinuation rate was 93.33% in 3 months after RTX treatment, and 100% in 6 and 12 months after RTX treatment.Adverse reactions included infusion reactions in 7 cases (23.33%), neutropenia/leukopenia in 5 cases (16.67%), hypoimmunoglobulinemia in 10 cases (33.33%), infections in 4 cases.One case was complicated with severe influenza A virus infection after CD19 + B lymphocytes reconstruction. Conclusions:A standard dose of RTX can significantly reduce the relapse frequency, maintain long-term remission of proteinuria, and reduce the dose of glucocorticoids in patients at the initial episode of SSNS.Thus, it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Evidence-based treatment strategies for patients with cardiovascular disease and diabetes have been updated in recent years. However, substantial gaps remain between guideline recommendations and clinical practice, which justify the urgent need to improve the quality of care for patients with these conditions. The Chinese Society of Cardiology and the Chinese Society of Diabetes, in collaboration with the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, designed the China Diabetes Cardiovascular project. The China Diabetes Cardiovascular project is a nationwide registry study aimed at improving the quality of care for patients with acute coronary syndrome and diabetes in China. Launched in 2021, this project has enrolled 36 hospitals across mainland China. Patients with a primary discharge diagnosis of comorbid acute coronary syndrome and diabetes will be eligible to participate. Pre-defined performance measures will be adopted to evaluate the quality of care for these patients. Multiple quality improvement strategies will be adopted, including providing monthly quality reports based on these measures, conducting a series of training courses, and distributing educational materials. A comprehensive dataset, encompassing patients' characteristics, medical history, treatment before and during the current hospitalization, and discharge medications for secondary prevention, will be collected through a web-based data collection platform. This project has the potential to improve the quality of care and reduce the care disparities in the management of patients with these diseases. Moreover, with its comprehensive data collection, this project will provide a strong foundation for exploring key clinical questions.

Objective To investigate the relationship between daily intake of monounsaturated fatty acids(MUFAs)and polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFAs)and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),and to determine the threshold values of daily MUFAs and PUFAs intake for NAFLD risk.Methods Date were collected from the Dryad database.We enrolled a total of 1 068 healthy subjects aged 18 years and older(534 in the control group and 534 with NAFLD group)who had physical check-up in the Affiliated Nanping First Hospital of Fujian Medical University from April 2015 to August 2017.Comprehensive medical histories were obtained through questionnaires;information on dietary intake was collected using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and daily MUFAs and PUFAs intake were calculated.Baseline characteristics were compared between the two groups,and Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline(RCS)analyses were used to explore the relationship between daily MUFAs or PUFAs intake and NAFLD.Results Compared with the control group,the prevalence of hypertension,tea drinking,body mass index(BMI),daily energy intake,and daily MUFAs and PUFAs intakes were significant higher in patients with NAFLD(all P＜0.05),but the proportion of physical activities was significantly lower(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting other confounding factors such as age,gender and BMI,for every 10 g increase in daily MUFAs or PUFAs intake,the risk of NAFLD increased by 53％(95％ CI:1.25-1.87,P＜0.001)and 3.30 times(95％ CI:2.98-6.20,P＜0.001),respectively.RCS indicated an approximately linear relationship between daily MUFAs intake and NAFLD(P for nonlinearity=0.064)and a nonlinear relationship between daily PUFAs intake and NAFLD(P for nonlinearity＜0.05).Subgroup analysis results were generally consistent,and there was statistical evidence of interactions between MUFAs and factors such as gender,hypertension and education level,with interaction between PUFAs and BMI observed(P＜0.05).Conclusion Increased daily intake of MUFAs or PUFAs is significantly associated with an increased risk of NAFLD,and further research is needed to clarify their specific roles in hepatic lipid accumulation.
