Objective To assess the efficacy of an innovative operational management model in enhancing the refined operational management of a public hospital.Methods An innovative operational management model,"One Body,Two Wings and Three Drives",was developed,which involved establishing a systematic operational management system,strengthening per-formance and cost control,and reinforcing the supporting roles of discipline construction,scientific and technological innovation,and smart hospital initiatives.This comprehensive approach aimed to systematically promote hospital operational management re-forms and improve overall efficiency and quality.Results After using this model,the hospital presented continuous improve-ments in operational efficiency and medical quality,with key performance indicators trending positively.Over the past three years,the average annual growth rate of outpatient and emergency service visits reached 6.6％,inpatient service visits increased by 5.7％,and the Case Mix Index(CMI)rose by 0.22 over two consecutive years.Conclusion This model is highly systemat-ic,practical,and policy-compatible,providing a replicable path for the high-quality development of public hospitals.

Objective:To investigate the transcriptomic signature of refractory nasal polyps (NP) after endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods:Tissue samples were collected from 36 patients with NP who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery at the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2020 to December 2021. Raw sequencing data of normal nasal mucosa samples were downloaded from publicly available GEO database (Accession Number: GSE136825). Differential expression genes (DEGs) and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis were conducted to analyze the differences between refractory NP and normal controls, as well as among refractory, controlled, and partially controlled NP. Hierarchical clustering method was employed to analyze the inflammatory endotypes of NP. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) and STRING database were used in combination with Cytoscape software to identify the characteristic transcriptional expression profiles of refractory NP. R software (version 4.3.1) was used for statistical analysis.Results:Refractory NP patients had significantly higher asthma comorbidity rates than controlled/partially controlled groups ( P<0.05). The numbers and percentages of peripheral blood and tissue eosinophilic granulocytes were significantly higher in the refractory subgroup than in the other two subgroups ( P<0.05). Compared to normal mucosa, controlled and partially controlled NP groups, 27 genes were consistently upregulated in refractory NP. Hierarchical cluster analysis showed that the refractory NP exhibited a mixed endotype dominated by type 2 inflammation with co-existing type 1 features. Differential genes were enriched in extracellular matrix organization, leukocyte activation, cytokine receptor activation, cystatin-mediated protease inhibition, granule exocytosis, and olfactory nerve development regulation. Further WGCNA analysis and protein-protein interaction network identified 33 hub genes represented by ITGAM, NCF1, NCF2, CD1C, PTAFR, CLEC10A, SIRPA, TREM2, ALOX5AP, PTGDR2 (officially PTGDR), F13A1, DUOX2, NOS2, CTSG, and SALL1.Conclusion:This study reveals the distinctive transcriptional signature of refractory NP through transcriptomic methods, providing novel research avenues and therapeutic targets for the treatment of refractory NP after surgery.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Nlrp6 for regulating hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)progression in light of lipid synthesis regulation.Methods Nlrp6 expression level in HCC tissues of different pathological grades was investigated using RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,and its correlation with the patients'survival was analyzed with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.HepG2 cells with adenovirus-mediated Nlrp6 overexpression or knockdown were treated with palmitic acid(PA),and the changes in lipid deposition and cell proliferation were evaluated using Oil Red O staining,CCK-8 assay,EdU staining,and colony formation assay.RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to detect the changes in expression of lipid synthesis-related genes and the proteins in the AMPK-Srebp1c axis.In a mouse model of hepatic steatosis established in liver-specific Nlrp6 knockout mice by high-fat diet feeding for 24 weeks,liver fibrosis was examined with histological staining,and the changes in expressions of HCC markers and the AMPK-Srebp1c signaling pathway were detected.Results Nlrp6 expression was significantly reduced in HCC tissues with negative correlations with the pathological grades and the patients'survival(P<0.0001).In HepG2 cells,Nlrp6 overexpression significantly inhibited lipid deposition and cell proliferation,whereas Nlrp6 knockdown produced the opposite effects.Nlrp6 overexpression strongly suppressed the expression of lipid synthesis-related genes,promoted AMPK phosphorylation,and inhibited Srebp1c expression.The mice with liver-specific Nlrp6 knockout and high-fat feeding showed increased hepatic steatosis,collagen deposition,and AFP expression with reduced AMPK phosphorylation and increased Srebp1c expression.Conclusion Nlrp6 overexpression inhibits lipid synthesis in HCC cells by regulating the AMPK-Srebp1c axis,which might be a key pathway for suppressing HCC cell proliferation.

Effective budget management is crucial for the internal control of procurements in public hospitals.This paper investigates challenges such as unscientific budget preparation,insufficient market analysis,and inadequate procurement internal control in a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen.In addition,based on a budget inquiry mechanism,the study explores strategies to en-hance internal control management within procurements in public hospitals,focusing on the pilot implementation of budget price review mechanisms in the hospital.The paper proposes such rules as"whoever applies is responsible and conducts research,"departmental checks and balances,continuous feedback,and pre-budget inquiry.These measures are used to improve procure-ment cost control,enhance hospital operational efficiency,and increase economic benefits.

Artificial blood vessels, serving as crucial vascular substitutes, have been widely utilized in vascular interventional therapies and revascularization surgeries. Small-diameter artificial blood vessels (diameter < 6 mm) pose challenges for long-term implantation due to their small diameter, slow flow velocity, low blood pressure, and complex blood flow environment. Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), a natural polymer material, enhances the regenerative and repair effects of small-diameter artificial blood vessels through composite modification and surface modification. This article reviewed the research progress in the preparation of small-diameter artificial blood vessels using BNC and discussed the advantages and potential application prospects of BNC artificial blood vessels.

Background: Abnormal expression of leptin and brain⁃derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important link in the occurrence of ulcerative colitis (UC), but the mechanism of leptin and BDNF in UC is still unclear. Aims: To explore the effect and mechanism of leptin and BDNF in DSS induced colitis in mice. Methods: Thirty⁃six male 8⁃10 weeks healthy leptin⁃deficient ob mice and leptin⁃normal expressing wild type (WT) mice were selected and randomly divided into WT experimental group, ob experimental group, WT control group and ob control group. The mice in experimental groups were given 3% DSS solution for 7 days to induce colitis model, and the mice in control group were given distilled water. After modeling, disease activity index (DAI) score, colon length, behavior and visceral sensitivity were observed. The mRNA expressions of leptin and BDNF in colon and hippocampus were detected by real⁃time fluorescent quantitative PCR, and the protein expression of BDNF in colon was detected by Western blotting. Results: Compared with corresponding control groups, DAI score, visceral sensitivity in WT experimental group and ob experimental group were significantly increased (P< 0.05), mRNA and protein expressions of BDNF in colon were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with WT control group, anxiety and depression⁃like behavior were found in WT experimental group, mRNA expressions of leptin, BDNF in hippocampus were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that anxiety was positively correlated with length of colon in WT experimental group (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with DAI score (P<0.05); depression, expression of BDNF mRNA in colon were negatively correlated with length of colon (P<0.05), and positively correlated with DAI score (P<0.05); leptin in hippocampus was positively correlated with anxiety (P<0.05), while was negatively correlated with depression (P<0.05); expression of BDNF mRNA in colon was negatively correlated visceral sensitivity (P<0.05). Conclusions: Colonic BDNF secretion is associated with leptin expression, and both may be involved in the DSS⁃induced colitis in mice by mediating anxiety, depression and visceral sensitivity.

A case of a 69-year-old female patient, with cough, expectoration, chest tightness and shortness of breath for 10 days accompanied by left pleural effusion, was reported. Initially, a large number of suspected malignant lymphoma cells were found in the patient′s pleural effusion through routine cell morphological examination after admission, which was the direction of clinical diagnosis and treatment in the next step. Then the patient was diagnosed as primary pulmonary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) through imaging, bone marrow and lung biopsy pathology. Finally, the patient was treated effectively with R-CHOP regimen, but she died of respiratory failure 9 weeks later, because she did not receive regular follow-up and treatment after the sixth chemotherapy cycle. Primary pulmonary DLBCL, an extremely rare extranodal lymphoma' lacks specificity clinical manifestations and is easy to be missed and misdiagnosed. DLBCL with a large number of malignant pleural effusion progresses rapidly and has a poor prognosis. The routine cell morphology examination of pleural effusion is simple and intuitive, which can capture key information in the shortest time, preliminarily provide clinical diagnosis and treatment ideas, and provide accurate basis for disease diagnosis.
