Objective To explore the application effect of a standardized management method based on failure mode and effect analysis （FMEA） in optimizing the whole-process quality control system of the intravenous admixture service （PIVAS）. Methods The quality control management system of the PIVAS was optimized by establishing six quality control groups led by the head nurse, with full participation of pharmacy, nursing, and logistical staff, ensuring comprehensive coverage and traceability of all quality control links. Each group conducted risk priority number （RPN） scoring for potential failure modes in their respective quality control processes, and targeted improvement measures were formulated based on the scoring results. The RPN values of failure modes and quality control-related evaluation indicators before and after implementation were compared to achieve closed-loop management. Results After one year of management, the RPN values of the six major failure modes significantly decreased compared to those before implementation （P<0.05）. The compounding error rate dropped to 0.13%, the dispensing error rate decreased to 0.95%, the compounding efficiency increased to 98%, the delivery time was shortened by 0.45 h per batch, the intervention rate for irrational prescriptions rose to 94.87%, satisfaction improved to 96.78%, and the participation rate of quality control personnel reached 95.36% （P<0.05）. Conclusion FMEA-based identification of potential failure modes in the whole-process quality control system of the IVAS, combined with risk quantification and targeted interventions, significantly reduced high-risk failure modes, improved compounding accuracy and efficiency, and ensured the safety of clinical intravenous medication and the effectiveness of healthcare quality management.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether adding 1 transverse screw (TS) to the triangular parallel cannulated screw (TPCS) fixation has a mechanical stability advantage for Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fractures by conducting finite element analysis on four internal fixation methods. METHODS: Based on CT data of a healthy adult male volunteer's femur, three Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fracture models (Pauwels angle 70°, Pauwels angle 80°, and Pauwels angle 70° combined with bone defect) were constructed using Mimics 21.0 software and SolidWorks 2017 software. Four different internal fixation models were built at the same time, including TPCS, TPCS+TS, three cross screws (TCS), and TPCS+medial buttress plate (MBP). The mechanical stability of different models under the same load was compared by finite element analysis. RESULTS: The femoral model established in this study exhibited a maximum stress of 28.62 MPa, with relatively higher stress concentrated in the femoral neck. These findings were comparable to previous studies, indicating that the constructed femoral finite element model was correct. The maximum stress of internal fixation in finite element analysis showed that TCS was the lowest and TPCS+MBP was the highest in Pauwels angle 70° and 80° models, while TPCS+TS was the lowest and TCS was the highest in Pauwels angle 70° combined with bone defect model. The maximum displacement of internal fixation in each fracture model was located at the top of the femoral head, with TCS having the highest maximum displacement of the femur. The maximum stress of fracture surface in finite element analysis showed that TCS was the lowest and TPCS was the highest in the Pauwels angle 70° model, while TPCS+MBP was the lowest and TPCS/TCS were the highest in the Pauwels angle 80° model and the Pauwels angle 70° combined with bone defect model, respectively. The maximum displacement of fracture surfece analysis showed that TPCS+MBP was the lowest and TCS was the highest in Pauwels angle 70° and 80° models, while TPCS+TS was the lowest and TCS was the highest in Pauwels angle 70° combined with bone defect model. CONCLUSION For Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fractures, the biomechanical stability of TPCS+TS was superior to that of TPCS alone and TCS, but it has not yet reached the level of TPCS+MBP.

This paper Summarizes the experience of national renowned Chinese medical practitioner professor YANG Jun in treating lumbar pain with acupuncture and moxibustion.In the view of professor YANG Jun,the etiology of lumbar pain is various and the pathogensis is complex,of which mainly related to be invaded by external pathogen,meridians obstructing blockage,kidney deficiency due to elderly,less of moistening due to kidney essence deficiency,sprain caused by fall and strike,and blood stasis obstructing meridians,and the syndrome differentiation of lumbar pain usually involves cold-damp obstructing blockage,kidney essence deficiency,and blood stasis blocking collaterals.The waist is the residence of kidney,kidney meridian runs through the spine and connecting it to the kidney,the bladder meridian locates on both sides of the spine and connecting it to the kidney,the circulation of governor vessel(GV)to the kidney,so the pathogensis of lumbar pain is closely related to kidney,bladder meridian,governor vessel.The basic pathogensis of lumbar pain is meridian qiand blood stasis stagnation,or the meridian less of moistening due to kidney essence deficiency,both of which cause pain.The main therapeutic principle for lumbar pain should be focusing on mind-regulating and meridians-dredging,cold-dispersing and damp-removing,kidney-boosting and blood-activating,as well as collateral-unblocking and pain-relieving,combining the lumbosacral spinal tri-needling,regulating the bladder meridian with moxibustion and electro-acupuncture,thus to achieve the optimal quantitative and effective state.

Objective:To establish a microfluidic chip-based digital PCR (cdPCR) method for detecting hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA and evaluate its application in patients with chronic HBV infection.Methods:A total of 135 patients with chronic HBV infection were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University and stratified into two groups based on HBV DNA levels: HBV DNA>100 IU/ml ( n=85) and HBV DNA≤100 IU/ml ( n=50). Additionally, healthy individuals and subjects infected with other viruses ( n=15) served as controls. Primers and probes targeting the HBV pre-C/C region were designed to optimize the microfluidic cdPCR method, and its linear range, limit of detection (LOD), specificity, and precision were assessed. Serum HBV RNA levels were measured using the self-developed method and two commercial kits. Pearson correlation was applied to evaluate the relationships between HBV RNA and other HBV markers. Results:The optimized microfluidic cdPCR method featured a denaturation time of 10 seconds, an annealing/extension temperature of 62 ℃, and primer and probe concentrations of 0.3 μmol/L and 0.2 μmol/L, respectively. The method demonstrated a linear range of 103-10? copies/ml and an LOD of 102 copies/ml. The intra-assay coefficient of variation ( CV) for plasmid standards at 10? and 10? copies/ml were 1.06% and 0.82%, respectively, while the inter-assay CVs were 0.75% and 0.44%. Specificity analysis confirmed the absence of positive signals in sera from healthy controls and subjects infected with other pathogens. In the HBV DNA>100 IU/ml group, the detection rate of the self-developed cdPCR method was 81.18% (69/85), significantly higher than the 64.71% (55/85) achieved by commercial kit B ( P<0.016 7). However, in the HBV DNA≤100 IU/ml group, no significant differences were observed among the three methods ( P>0.05). HBV RNA levels were positively correlated with HBV DNA ( r=0.67), hepatitis B surface antigen ( r=0.53), and hepatitis B e antigen ( r=0.44) (all P<0.001). Conclusion:A microfluidic cdPCR assay for the quantitative detection of HBV RNA has been successfully developed. This assay demonstrates high sensitivity, specificity, and robust detection capability, even for low HBV DNA-concentration samples.
