Objective:To analyze categories and influencing factors of fall risk perception of elderly inpatients with chronic heart failure (CHF) based on latent profile analysis for providing references on improving their levels of fall risk perception.Methods:During December 2022 and July 2023, the elderly inpatients with CHF were selected as survey subjects through convenience sampling from department of geriatrics of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, and they were taken a cross-sectional investigation using a general information questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Multidimensional Chronic Disease Self-management Effectiveness Scale, Nurse-patient Trust Scale and Fall Risk Perception Questionnaire for Patients.Their categories of fall risk perception were analyzed by latent profile analysis.The influence factors of their different categories of fall risk perception were analyzed by unordered multi-class Logistic regression analysis.Results:There were 279 patients in final investigation, which contained 148 males and 131 females, and their age were during 60 to 78 (68.58 ± 6.37) years old. The score of fall risk perception of elderly inpatients with CHF was (42.12 ± 13.74).Among the fall risk perception categories of elderly CHF patients, the percentage of patients low risk perception group was 12.55% (35/279), percentage of patents from physical risk perception group was 17.20%(48/279), percentage of patents from environmental risk perception group was 56.99% (159/279) and percentage of patents from high risk perception group was 13.26% (37/279).Compared to high-risk perception group, unordered multi-class logistic regression analysis showed that male, no fall experience, self-management effectivenessand level of patient′s trust on nursewere significant influencing factors of fall risk perception of low risk perception group ( OR values were 0.023-55.980, all P<0.05); no having other chronic diseases, less than 5 years long course of disease, 5 to 10 years long course of disease, self-management effectiveness and level of trusting nurse were significant influencing factors of fall risk perception of physical risk resulting in perception group ( OR values were 0.027-1.711, all P<0.05); less than 7 days long hospital stay, 7 to 14 days long hospital stay, abnormal vision, self-management effectiveness and level of patient′s trust on nurse were significant influencing factors of fall risk perception of environmental risk resulting in perception group ( OR values were 0.907-6.482, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of fall risk perception of elderly inpatients with CHF was low and could be divided into low risk perception group, physical risk perception group, environmental risk perception group and high risk perception group. Their fall risk perception was influenced by gender, fall experience, having chronic diseases, course of disease, hospital stay, abnormal vision, self-management effectiveness, and level of patient′s trust on nurse.Clinical medical staff should provide personalized health education to different categories of fall risk perception of elderly inpatients with CHF, in order to improve their level of fall risk perception.

Objective:To test a new method with thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) to determine the β-ray and γ-ray doses of β-γ mixed radiation fields.Methods:TLDs for personal dose monitoring were irradiated in the reference radiation fields of β-rays ( 90Sr/ 90Y, 85Kr) and γ-rays ( 137Cs). Across the range of 2.0-15.0 mSv, the linearity of TLD response and normalized response with respect to 137Cs were determined at the depths of Hp(10) and Hp(0.07). Using TLD detector readings at the depths of Hp(10) and Hp(0.07), β- and γ-ray doses in the mixed radiation fields were determined, and the result were verified. Results:For Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) under γ-ray exposure and Hp(0.07) under β-ray exposure, the coefficient of determination ( R2) were all >0.998. For the 90Sr/ 90Y source and 85Kr source, the average values of response values normalized with respect to 137Cs at different doses were 1.14 and 0.18, respectively; and the normalized response values derived from the slope values of the dose-response curves for the two sources were 1.17 and 0.18, respectively. The ratios of measurements of Hp(10) to Hp(0.07), kR, for the 85Kr source were close to 0, while the kR values for the 137Cs source were close to 1. Using the average value of kR and the slope value of kR for calculation, the maximum relative deviations between the calculated values and conventional values for Hp(10) γ, Hp(0.07) γ, and Hp(0.07) β were 6.1% and 6.0%, respectively. Conclusions:This method can be applied for the assessment of β-ray and γ-ray doses in β-γ mixed radiation fields of a single β source and single γ source.

OBJECTIVE To construct a comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs， and to provide a basis for drug selection and rational clinical use. METHODS Based on the Guidelines for the Management of Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation of Drugs （2021 edition for trial use）， a preliminary evaluation index system framework and an index preselection pool were initially formulated through literature analysis. The evaluation indices were then selected and modified by using the Delphi method. The weights of each index were determined through expert scoring and relevant calculations， thereby establishing a comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs. Referred to Quick Guideline for Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institutions， scoring detailed rules for clinical comprehensive evaluation indexes of anti-lung cancer drugs were formulated. The constructed comprehensive evaluation index system and scoring detailed rules were applied to conduct empirical evaluation of the anti-lung cancer drug pembrolizumab. RESULTS The constructed comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs included 6 primary indicators and 15 secondary indicators. The weights of the primary indicators were as follows： safety （18）， efficacy （38）， economy （15）， innovation （9）， suitability （10）， and accessibility （10）. The scoring detailed rules for the comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs had been preliminarily established. The results of empirical evaluation showed that the comprehensive evaluation score （61 points） of pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy regimen was higher than that of the monotherapy chemotherapy regimen （56 points）. The former demonstrated superior efficacy， innovation and suitability compared to the latter， while the latter exhibited better safety and economy. CONCLUSIONS The constructed comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs has the potential for generalizability and practical application， providing a reference basis for rational clinical drug use.

Objective:To evaluate the prevention effect of low dose pre-irradiation on irradiation-induced lung injury and its possible mechanism.Methods:Totally 320 6-week-old female C57BL/6j mice were divided into control (0 Gy), low-dose (0.5 Gy), high-dose (20 Gy) and low-dose pre-radiation(0.5 Gy+ 20 Gy)groups by the random number method, with 80 mice in each group. The mice in the low-dose and low-dose pre-irradiation groups were placed in the immobilization device under full consciousness and subjected to 0.5 Gy X-ray whole-body irradiation. 2 weeks later, the 0.5 Gy pre-irradiated mice were anesthetized and subjected to 20 Gy X-rays on chest, as the pre-radiation plus high dose radiation group. The mice in the control group were irradiated with mock irradiation (0 Gy). All mice were terminated at designed time points (24 h, 1 month, 3 months and 5 months) after completion of the irradiation schedule, with 20 mice/group at each time point. Then, lung tissues were taken from mice, and pathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson′s trichrome staining. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the expressions of mRNAs and proteins of pulmonary fibrosis-related factors.Results:Pathological changes were observed in the lung tissues 1 month after a single high-dose 20 Gy irradiation, mainly including radiation pneumonitis and a small amount of collagen accumulation, which was more serious than low-dose pre-irradiation group, and these pathological changes became more severe when the time after irradiation increased. Meanwhile, the mRNA and protein levels of proSP-C and HOPX in the low-dose pre-irradiation group were higher than those in the high-dose group, except for proSP-C protein expression at 3 and 5 months post-irradiation. A more significant change was that the mRNA level of TGF-β1 in the high-dose group was 5.8-13.6 times higher than that in the other groups at 5 months after irradiation, as well as β-catenin mRNA ( t=4.22, 5.11, P<0.05). At the same time, in the early period (24 h and 1 month) post-irradiation, the level of vimentin protein in the low-dose pre-irradiation group was significantly higher than that in the high-dose group ( t=6.54, 4.28, P<0.05). Conclusions:When the mice were pre-irradiated with 0.5 Gy X-rays, an adaptive protective response was induced in lung tissues, resulting in the tolerance to subsequent high dose irradiation.

Objective:To establish a multicriteria value assessment index system, so as to provide reference for hospitals access of medical consumables.Methods:In May 2021, based on the paper previously published, the expert consultation method was used to finalize the index structure, index definitions and scoring standards, along with an importance grading of the indexes. And the index weights were calculated using the analytical hierarchy process. Then the assessment scale was designed by way of multi-criteria decision analysis and mini-HTA. With the linear cutting stapler used as an example, six clinicians, three hospital administrators and the medical consumable management committee made an empirical analysis and evaluation of its general value. The coefficient of variation and Kendall coefficient of concordance were used to test the consistency of clinicians′ scores.Results:Three rounds of expert consultations finalized an index structure with 4 level-1 and 11 level-2 indexes, and on such basis a multicriteria value assessment index system for hospital access of medical consumables was established. This system comprised the clinician evaluation scale, hospital administrator evaluation scale and medical consumable management committee evaluation scale. The first two of which were used for preliminary screening, and the third for a full-scale, detailed and quantitative evaluation of those selected, hence a decision was made in the end according to the weighted sum of the three scales. This scale system was used to evaluate a foreign brand and a domestic brand of linear cutting staplers, while the former and the latter scored 90.5 and 75.4 respectively. Statistical analysis of the six clinicians found a coefficient of variation CV<0.25, and the Kendall coefficient of concordance W=0.833, proving good consistency of the evaluation criteria and results. Conclusions:The multicriteria value assessment index system proves highly scientific, comprehensive and practicable, serving a good reference for hospitals to build their value-based mechanism to select medical consumables.

The quality evaluation of X-ray protective clothing at home and abroad is mainly intended for the quality inspection of lead protective clothing. There is no unified standard to be developed for the test of lead protective clothing during use. When lead protective clothing with defective quality is used many times, this phenomenon will pose a greater safety hazard to radiation workers and patients. Therefore, in order to protect the health of radiation workers and patients, the implementation of regular testing and quality evaluation of lead protective clothing and the development of a standardized management system are important. This review introduces the domestic and international inspection method of X-ray lead protective clothing, summarizes the inspection and evaluation method in use, including shield transmission coefficient, defect detection and uniformity test, puts forward relevant suggestions to provide reference for the managers and practitioners of relevant institutions.

Objective:To carry out investigation and analysis of an extensive skin radiation injury to the back accidentally caused by interventional procedure and to explore the problems faced in the event with emphasis on avoiding the reoccurance of similar events in the future.Methods:The data were collected by consulting the patient′s detailed medical history, collecting and analyzing clinical diagnosis and treatment data, tracking and observing their clinical manifestations and signs. The patient′s peripheral blood samples were also collected, together with the biological dose estimated and the equipment data collected on the site of the interventional treatment hospital.Results:The whole body dose to the patient was estimated to be 0.95 Gy. The typical values of kerma rate of radiation incident on the body surface due to fluoroscopic procedures were 373.5 mGy/min in subtraction modality and 47.8 mGy/min in fluoroscopy modality, respectively. The annual effective dose to the interventional radiologist was 20.51 mSv due to his operation in long-time radiation exposure conditions, higher than 3.09 mSv for other interventional radiologists with similar workload in the same department. The whole body and local clinical manifestations of the patients were in line with radiation injury. No clear diagnosis has been obtained in several hospitals, nor can obvious treatment outcomes be obsevered.Conclusion:Combined with the biological dose estimation result and clinical manifestations, the case was diagnosed as degree Ⅳ skin radiation injury. Radiation injury is closely related to whether the operation is conducted according to the standard and the output dose of X-ray machine. Non-specialized hospitals should strengthen clinical diagnosis and treatment of radiation injury.

Medical insurance payment model is transforming from project-based purchases to service bundle-based strategic purchases. The new form of bundled purchases should found on a scientifically-led design process of such bundles. The core to bundled purchase would be the payment standard, and the key to its success would be process control. Establishment of such a foundation, a core, and a key, would promote the current price standards, and lead service providers to a standardized medical service standard, so as to ensure a precise rewarding system of payment and service. The big data diagnosis-intervention packet(DIP)is able to fulfill mentioned ambitions by integrating insurance payment and supervision into one management. DIP is a full-process payment mode that encompasses pre-service estimation, in-service process control, post-service grading, and resource allocation. It is an innovative practice in line with China′s national conditions for the modern governance of medical security and medical services.

Objective:To explore the price formation method and price standard in the big data diagnosis-intervention packet.Methods:The expenditure data and income data of 95 medical institutions in Shanghai in 2018 were used for analysis, including 33 municipal hospitals and 62 district hospitals. After using the standardized data of disease score, the medical institutions in the region were divided into four quadrants with the regional average of unit price per index and cost per index as the coordinate axis. The best quadrant of income and cost was found out, namely the high quality range. The geometric center was calculated in the high quality range, and the unit price per index of the geometric center was taken as the cost standard.Results:For the district hospitals, there were 20 hospitals in the first quadrant, 8 in the second quadrant, 24 in the third quadrant and 10 in the fourth quadrant; For the municipal hospitals, there were 7 hospitals in the first quadrant, 5 in the second quadrant, 12 in the third quadrant and 9 in the fourth quadrant. In the third quadrant, the average income and cost of medical institutions were lower than the average of the city, and the income could cover the cost. The third quadrant was the high quality range. The unit price per index of the third quadrant geometric center of district hospitals was 14 115.4 yuan, and that in municipal hospitals was 15 559.1 yuan, which could be used as the corresponding cost standard.Conclusions:The price discovery mechanism based on objective data and high-quality interval geometric center method can remove the impact of unreasonable charges or unreasonable behavior on medical income, and reflect the guidance of the standard price of medical insurance payment.
