As a practical carrier for promoting the tiered diagnosis and treatment model, the medical consor-tium is of great significance for balancing medical resources and boosting medical service efficiency. The construction of medical consortiums not only improves the accessibility of high-quality medical resources for patients, but also enhances the diagnostic and treatment level of member units. Meanwhile, it provides space for the leading hospital to adjust the structure of diseases and improve the level of discipline construction. As the core of medical insurance payment reform, DRG, through indicators such as the case mix index(CMI) and the number of diagnosis related group (DRG), provides objective and quantified data support for case management and disease structure optimization, thus effectively guiding the rational allocation of medical resources and the adjustmentof diseases and surgical types within the medical consortium. Comprehensive use of DRG evaluation indicators can construct a multidimensional medical consortium construction evaluation system, provides a clear direction for medical consortium cooperation, thereby promoting the overall healthy and sustainable development of medical consortiums and achieving a win-win situation for all parties involved. This paper, based on the "1+5+1" medical consortium cooperation model centered around Peking Union Medical College Hospital, utilizes DRG indicators to analyze the benefits for patients, member hospitals, and the leading hospital during the medical consortium construction process, with the hope of providing reference for the construction of a medical consortium evaluation system.

OBJECTIVE To explore the protective effect and mechanism of Longshengzhi capsules on cerebral ischemia- reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS The model of middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） was established by using the improved thread occlusion method. The experiment was divided into six groups： sham surgery group （only separating blood vessels without inserting thread plugs， given the same volume of normal saline）， model group （modeling， given the same volume of normal saline）， nimodipine group （positive control， modeling， dose of 20 mg/kg）， and low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of Longshengzhi capsules （modeling， doses of 0.72， 1.44 and 2.88 g/kg， respectively）， with 10 mice in each group. Each group was given corresponding medication solution/normal saline by gavage， once a day， for 7 consecutive days. One hour after the last administration， the Zea Longa scoring method was used to score the neurological deficits in each group of rats， and the ABC enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin-6 （IL-6） in rats； TTC staining was used to observe the volume of cerebral infarction in rats and calculate the cerebral infarction volume ratio. Hematoxylin eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the brain tissue of rats. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the positive expression of NLRP3 protein in the brain tissue of rats. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect mRNA relative expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4） and nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） in the brain tissue of rats. Western blot assay was adopted to detect the relative expressions of TLR4， NLRP3 and phosphorylated NF-κB （p-NF-κB） protein in the brain tissue of rats and its intracellular NF-κB protein. RESULTS Compared with the sham surgery group， the neural dysfunction score， serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6， cerebral infarction volume ratio， relative expression levels of NF-κB and TLR4 mRNA， as well as protein relative expressions of TLR4， NLRP3 and p-NF-κB in the brain tissue， and relative protein expression of intracellular NF-κB were increased significantly in the model group （P＜0.01）； the enlarged gap and significant edema were observed in cortical nerve cells of brain tissue in rats， with a large amount of inflammatory cell infiltration； the positive expression of NLRP3 protein in brain tissue of rats obviously increased. Compared with the model group， the levels of the above indicators in the medium-dose and high-dose groups of Longshengzhi capsules， as well as the Nimodipine group， were reversed to varying degrees， and most differences were statistically significant （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the pathological morphology observation showed a significant improvement， and the positive expression of NLRP3 protein in the brain tissue of rats was obviously reduced. CONCLUSIONS Longshengzhi capsules may inhibit TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway and neuroinflammatory response， thereby achieving a protective effect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective:To study the antibacterial properties and in vivo and vitro biocompatibility of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings, and to evaluate their wound healing promoting effect through clinical application.Methods:We evaluated the comprehensive antibacterial performance of dressings in vitro using plate counting method; After co culturing the extract of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings with epidermal cells (HaCaT) and fibroblasts (NIH-3T3), their in-vitro biocompatibility was determined through the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) test; Further, Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing was applied to the wound surface of diabetes mice to test the biocompatibility of the material in vivo; Through a prospective randomized controlled trial, 50 burn and trauma patients admitted to the Burn and Plastic Surgery Department of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were selected and divided into an observation group of 25 patients and a control group of 25 patients. The observation group was treated with Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing, and the control group was treated with silver nanoparticle antibacterial dressing. The wound healing time and wound treatment effect of the two groups were compared.Results:The Cu 2+ release concentration of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings detected by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was 1.3 μ g/ml, which had the effect of promoting the proliferation of HaCaT and NIH-3T3 cells (all P<0.05). The antibacterial rate of Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing against pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus reached 100%. The wound healing rate [(87.39±1.83)%] of diabetes mice treated with Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing was significantly higher than that of the control group [(58.66±3.54)%, P<0.05]. The inflammatory response of the wound tissue was relatively mild and the wound margin matrix was intact. The wound healing time of 25 patients treated with Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressing [(23.52±10.02)d] was shorter than that of the control group [(40.84±21.22)d] ( t=17.159, P<0.001), and the overall treatment response rate of patients (96%) was significantly higher than that of the control group patients (64%) (χ 2=8.472, P=0.015). Conclusions:Cu-Fe-Zn alloy microfilament dressings have good antibacterial properties and biocompatibility, and have significant therapeutic effects on promoting wound healing. They not only effectively promote wound healing but also exert anti infection effects, and are expected to be a new type of wound repair dressing.

Objective:To compare the technique between concave distraction and convex resection in the treatment of congenital cervicothoracic scoliosis and evaluate its curative effect.Methods:Data of congenital cervicothoracic scoliosis patients from January 2010 to January 2020 were collected, among which 5 were males and 3 were females. The patients' age was 12.5±4.5 years old (range 6-20 years old). One case had C 7 wedged vertebra, 4 cases had T 1 hemivertebra and unbalanced vertebra, 2 cases had T 2 hemivertebra and 1 case had fused facet joint and wedged lamina in T 1. All patients had different degrees of vertebra fusion. Convex resection technique (one stage anterior and posterior combined hemivertebrae resection and annular osteotomy) was used to treat 4 cases before 2015; Concave distraction technique (A combination of anterior and posterior release, intervertebral space and facet space distraction, cage placed and fusion) was used to treat 4 cases after 2015 and 2 of them had 2 segments distraction. Perioperative neurological, vascular and wound related complications were recorded. The main parameters were structure Cobb angle, cephalic and caudal compensatory Cobb angle, mandibular incline, neck tilt, shoulder balance and head shift were measured pre-operation, post-operation and at the last follow-up. Results:All patients' surgeries were completed successfully. In convex resection group, the duration of surgery was 201±100 min (range 113-300 min) per vertebra, the estimated blood loss was 294±153 ml (range 100-450 ml) per vertebra, the hospital stay was 14±3 d (range 11-18 d) and follow up time was 51±11 months (range 36-60 months). In concave distraction group, the duration of surgery was 117±14 min (range 101-129 min) per vertebra, the estimated blood loss was 119±36 ml (range 85-167 ml) per vertebra, hospital stay was 17±3 d (range 14-20 d) and follow up time was 28±21 months (range 12-60 months). Convex resection group had longer operation time and more blood loss per vertebra than concave distraction group. In convex resection group, structural Cobb angle was 45.1°±21.0° pre-operation and 22.7°±15.3° post-operation, which was corrected significantly ( Z=6.53, P=0.038). The correction rate was 54.8%±30.9%. Cephalic compensatory Cobb angle was 22.1°±8.2° pre-operation and 8.2°±5.8° post-operation, which was corrected significantly ( F=6.01, P=0.049). The correction rate was 66.8%±15.1%. Mandible incline was 7.8°±3.1° pre-operation and 3.5°±1.5° post-operation, which was corrected significantly ( F=8.02, P=0.018). The correction rate was 51.0%±29.7%. In concave distraction group, structural Cobb angle was 32.2°±27.2° pre-operation and 16.3°±16.7° post-operation, which was corrected significantly ( F=7.43, P=0.024) . The correction rate was 59.0%±24.7%. Caudal compensatory Cobb angle was 18.9°(17.2°, 32.1°) pre-operation and 9.5°±10.3° post-operation, which was corrected significantly ( Z=6.00, P=0.049). The correction rate was 64.0%±24.1%. Clavicle angle was 3.9°±2.3° pre-operation and 0.3°±0.4° post-operation, which was corrected significantly ( F=1.75, P=0.040). The correction rate was 97.0% (48.5%, 99.8%). There was no significant difference in the correction rate of all radiographic parameters between the two groups. At the last follow-up, the patients' appearance of head, neck and shoulder were improved compared with those before surgery. In convex resection group, 2 patients showed nerve root stimulation symptoms postoperatively on convex side. One patient developed C 5 nerve root palsy which weakened deltoid muscle and the other patients presented with reduced triceps muscle strength. In concave distraction group, one patient developed C 5 nerve root palsy on convex side. All these symptoms recovered by conservative treatment 3 months after operation. Conclusion:It is safe and effective to treat congenital cervicothoracic scoliosis with convex resection technique and concave distraction technique. The concave distraction technique has the advantages of more safety, less operating time, less blood loss and easier to perform and has a wider application prospect.

Objective To study changes in kinematics and joint coordination of the waist and hips during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit tasks in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods The Vicon 3D motion capture system was used to collect the kinematics data from 20 healthy controls and 20 LDH subjects, and differences in movement patterns of the lumbar spine and hip joints during sitting and standing tasks were compared between two groups through statistical parametric mapping (SPM). Results During sit-to-stand task, the lumbar spine flexion and extension range and hip joint abduction angle of LDH subjects were significantly limited, and the hip flexion angle increased. SPM analysis showed that for both groups at initial stage of sit-to-stand (10%-13%), there was a statistically significant difference in flexion angle of the lumbar spine, and lumbar flexion angle of LDH subjects was significantly reduced, while hip flexion angle at 2%-14% phase was significantly increased. During stand-to-sit phase (65%-69%), LDH subjects showed increased hip abduction angle. Conclusions LDH subjects have limited lumbar flexion and hip abduction functions during sitting and standing, and they need to be compensated with increased hip flexion activities to complete functional tasks. In clinical evaluation, changes in motor function of the spine and hips should be focused on.
