		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of emergency management for severe mental disorders in Shanghai, and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for the establishment of a sound emergency management system for severe mental disorders and the enhancement of emergency management capability. MethodsA questionnaire survey and qualitative interviews were used to conduct an investigation into the emergency management in 17 district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai, which includes the basic situation of emergency management for severe mental disorders, the construction of emergency response teams and personnel, emergency preparedness drills and training, emergency management plans and rules and regulations, and problems encountered in emergency management. ResultsIn terms of emergency management mechanism and basic situation, resources such as personnel allocation, security funds and green channel were well equipped in each district-level mental illness prevention and control institution in Shanghai. However, the equipment of some hardware facilities was still insufficient to some extent. Therefore, further improvement on the emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders was needed. With regard to the construction of emergency team and personnel allocation, the majority were those aged between 35‒<45 years old, with a bachelor’s degree, and more than 10 years of working experience. For example, 90.27% staff in district-level mental illness prevention and control institution had a bachelor’s degree or above, which was higher than that among the staff in community-level (73.60%); staff majored in clinical medicine in district-level institution accounted for the proportion at 52.71%, higher than that among the staff in community-level (28.86%); 57.24% staff in district-level institution had an intermediate professional title, higher than that among the staff in community-level (42.28%); and 69.90% staff in district-level institution had more than 10 years of working experience, higher than that among the staff in community-level (43.62%). In the aspect of emergency drills and training, all district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai had a high demand for emergency training, and the weak aspects mainly focused on lack of emergency service protocols, skills of addressing technical challenges, and construction of effectiveness evaluation system. Moreover, the teaching methods were primarily centered on case analysis, simulation drills, interactive discussions, and so forth. Concerning emergency management plans and rules and regulations, all districts in Shanghai had relatively established well-developed systems for emergency response plans, emergency response leadership groups, and emergency response operational task forces for severe mental disorders. About half of the institutions had established other rules and regulations related to emergency management of severe mental disorders in addition to emergency plans. ConclusionShanghai has initially established an emergency management system for severe mental disorders, but it is still fragile in specialized training for emergency management of severe mental disorders, construction of emergency management mechanisms, and the building-up of grassroots emergency teams. Further priorities should include strengthening emergency management training, enhancing the construction of emergency management personnel teams, and gradually establishing a more comprehensive and integrated emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders.

		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation of the serum levels of aminotransferases and their ratios with liver inflammation activity in pediatric chronic hepatitis B (pCHB) patients, and to provide a basis for selecting the dominant population for treatment. MethodsThis study was conducted among 1 267 pCHB patients who were admitted to The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2010 to August 2022 and these patients did not receive antiviral therapy. The patients were analyzed in terms of demographic features, blood routine, blood biochemistry, HBV serological markers, and liver biopsy data. According to liver inflammation activity based on liver biopsy, the patients were divided into no or mild inflammation activity (G0 — G1) group and significant inflammation activity (G2 — G4) group. The serum levels of aminotransferases and their ratios were compared between groups, and their correlation with liver inflammation activity in pCHB patients was analyzed. Additionally, the patients were stratified by the age, and the relationship between serum aminotransferase levels and liver inflammation activity was analyzed in each age group. For comparison of continuous data between two groups, the independent samples t-test was used when the data were normally distributed, while the Mann-Whitney U test was used when the data were not normally distributed; the chi-square test was employed for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A Spearman’s correlation analysis was performed for correlation assessment. ResultsAmong the 1 267 pCHB patients, there were 468 (36.9%) in the G0 — G1 group and 799 (63.1%) in the G2 — G4 group, and there were significant differences between the two groups in the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), AST/ALT ratio, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, HBeAg quantification, low-density lipoprotein, and platelet count (PLT) (all P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that liver inflammation activity was negatively correlated with PLT and low-density lipoprotein (both P<0.05) and was positively correlated with GGT, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and HBeAg titer (all P<0.05), while it was not significantly correlated with ALT, AST, and AST/ALT ratio (all P>0.05). In the 0 — 12 years group, the 13 — 18 years male group, and the 13 — 18 years female group, liver inflammation activity aggravated with the increases in the serum levels of ALT and AST, and there were significant differences between groups (all P<0.05). In the 0 — 12 years group, there was a significant difference in significant liver inflammation activity between the AST/ALT ratio >1 group and the AST/ALT ratio ≤1 group (P<0.001). Among the 1 267 patients, 447 (35.28%) had an ALT level of <2×upper limit of normal (ULN), among whom 196 (43.85%) had G≥2 liver inflammation, accounting for 15.47% of all children enrolled. ConclusionLiver inflammation activity is not significantly correlated with ALT, AST, and AST/ALT ratio in pCHB patients, suggesting that the serum levels of aminotransferases cannot truly reflect liver inflammation activity in pCHB patients with an aminotransferase level of <2×ULN. In clinical practice, liver biopsy should be performed for children with an aminotransferase level of <2×ULN to clarify whether antiviral therapy should be performed.

		                        			OBJECTIVE To provide references for further improving the management level of Chinese herbal pieces covered by the healthcare security drug catalog (hereinafter referred to as “healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces”). METHODS Policy documents related to healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces were retrieved from official websites of National Healthcare Security Administration and medical insurance bureaus of various provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government). Using text analysis, the current management status of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces in various provinces was analyzed from two dimensions: management regulations and catalog formats. RESULTS In terms of the management regulations for healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, some provinces implemented both national and provincial standards for Chinese herbal pieces, while a small number of provinces adopted national standards alongside their own provincial standards. Regarding the payment categories of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, most were classified as category A, though some provinces managed them as category B, and others included both categories A and B or category C. In terms of applicants, there were three kinds: only medical institutions, only herbal piece enterprises, or both medical institutions and herbal piece enterprises being allowed to apply. During the application process, some provinces required preliminary evaluations by local healthcare security departments with recommended lists submitted, while some provinces omitted preliminary evaluations and relied solely on unified evaluation by provincial healthcare security departments. Regarding the methods for catalog formulation and adjustment, there was little variation among the provinces. In terms of the catalog format for healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, some provinces had supplemented the catalog fields based on the national medical insurance catalog. In contrast, some provinces had relatively simple catalogs. Regarding the sorting of the herbal pieces catalog, some catalogs were arranged by the number of Chinese character strokes in the names of the herbal pieces, but most catalogs lacked clear sorting rules. CONCLUSIONS Significant resultshave been achieved in formulating management measures and the catalog of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces. However, there is still a great necessity to develop targeted and adaptable management clauses based on local conditions and the characteristics of Chinese herbal pieces. The content and format of healthcare security drug catalog of Chinese herbal pieces should be improved; in addition, continuous tracking of the latest management policies is also essential to improve the accuracy and operability of formulated catalog.

		                        			Objective:To explore the effects of the scaffolding-based flipped classroom approach in the teaching of Infectious Disease Nursing. Methods:We assigned 152 students of nursing and midwifery majors of grade 2018 (experimental group) to be taught using the scaffolding-based flipped classroom approach and 182 students of grade 2017 (control group) to be taught using the traditional lecture method. Teaching effects were evaluated through students' exam performance and a questionnaire survey. Numerical data were analyzed using the χ2 test and t test with the use of SPSS 18.0, and text data were processed using NVivo 11 for thematic analysis. Results:The experimental group and control group showed significant differences in the interim exam score (83.19±7.96 vs. 79.62±3.14, P<0.001) and final exam score (78.47±6.92 vs. 73.16±8.24, P<0.001). The students of grade 2018 had a high level of participation in online learning. The questionnaire results showed that the scaffolding-based flipped classroom was well recognized in terms of students' overall perception, perceived course quality, perceived value of learning, and satisfaction and the open-ended question, with low scores for learner complaints and loyalty. Conclusions:The scaffolding-based flipped classroom is feasible in the teaching of Infectious Disease Nursing, which can improve students' academic performance and overall competence.

Totally 80 patients with hypertension vertigo and phlegm-heat disturbance syndrome were selected from March 2021 to August 2022 at Beijing Tongrentang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the observation objects. They were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received oral telmisartan tablets, while the experimental group received Tongren Niuhuang Qingxin Pills in addition to the control group. Both groups were treated for 28 days and followed up for 1 month. The patients' room blood pressure before and after treatment was measured, and TCM syndrome scores were evaluated. The dizziness assessment rating scale (DARS) was used to evaluate the severity of dizziness, adverse reactions during treatment were recorded, drug safety was observed, and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate of the experimental group was 85.0% (34/40), and that of the control group was 7.5% (3/40), with statistical significance between the two groups ( χ2=48.32, P<0.001). Compared with before treatment, the experimental group had SBP [(136.63 ± 6.01) mmHg vs. (159.30 ± 9.01) mmHg, t=-21.00] and DBP [(84.48 ± 4.36) mmHg vs. (95.30 ± 3.75) mmHg, t=-13.80] after treatment; after treatment, SBP [(137.34 ± 6.39) mmHg vs. (158.00 ± 10.06) mmHg, t=-5.28] and DBP [(86.08 ± 4.43) mmHg vs. (95.18 ± 6.61) mmHg, t=-8.09] decreased in the control group ( P<0.01), but there was no statistical significance between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores in the experimental group (8.68 ± 3.39 vs. 15.12 ± 3.03, Z=-6.61) were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.001), and DARS score [(8.53 ± 3.93) vs. (12.20 ± 3.95), Z=-3.63] was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.001). After treatment, the therapeutic effect index of TCM syndromes in the experimental group improved compared to before treatment in the same group. The therapeutic effect index of each symptom, from high to low, was as follows: rotation of oneself or visual objects>numbness of limbs>dry stool>dizziness and dizziness>liking cold drinks>bitter and dry mouth>red urine>red tongue, yellow coating, and greasy tongue>vomiting sticky and turbid phlegm>tinnitus>smooth pulse. There were no significant adverse reactions during the treatment of the two groups. Conclusion:Tongren Niuhuang Qingxin Pills combined with telmisartan can reduce the blood pressure of patients with hypertensive vertigo syndrome of phlegm-heat disturbance, improve the vertigo symptoms and TCM syndromes of patients, and the efficacy evaluation is superior to that of telmisartan alone.
