Objective To explore the effectiveness of quantitative reward points management in performance related pay to the staff in central sterile supply department(CSSD)and offer the insights into the staff pay.Methods A comparison method of pre-and post-control was employed in this study.The staff who received seniority related pay system in CSSD of the hospital from January to December 2020 served as a control group,while the same group of staff in the same department who received the pay based on quantitative reward points management from January to December 2021 served as an observation group.In the control group,the staff received equal pay.However in the observation group,a quantitative reward points system was applied,and the staff pays were dependent upon the reward points derived from technique proficiency,quality and efficiency of work and workload.The two groups were compared in terms of working efficiency,occurrence of errors(such as missing of instruments in sterilised packages,errors in package categories,package labels,collection and delivery items,and errors in operation of information system),and the satisfaction levels evaluated by user departments.Result After implementation of the system of quantitative reward points management,the working efficiency of CSSD staff and the satisfaction levels of the user departments were both significantly improved,while the errors were significantly dropped(P＜0.05).Conclusion Application of the quantitative reward points management in CSSD can enhance work incentive in CSSD staff,leading to an improvement in working efficiency and quality.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of health science popularization in child caregivers by using social media of WeChat and Weibo in China in 2020.Methods:A questionnaire was designed based on the knowledge of children health from January to March 2020, and the public were invited to participate in the survey by visiting the official accounts of WeChat and Weibo of China CDC to analyze the awareness of health related knowledge and the change of daily behaviors in the child caregivers.Results:In the 1 325 child caregivers included in this survey, the awareness rate of chronic disease reexamine was lowest (74.94%), and the awareness rate of quality-oriented education was highest (99.55%). In the 7 questions in the questionnaire, the correct answer rate of the question about the reexamine of chronic disease was <75.00% (below the standard), the correct answer rate to other six questions were all ≥75.00% (above the standard). Logistic regression analysis showed that the education levels of senior high school or technical secondary school, junior college, bachelor's degree, master's degree or above, being worker, business/service personnel, teacher and company employee were the influencing factors for the awareness of the chronic disease related knowledge in child caregivers (all P<0.05). The daily behaviors of child caregivers after acquiring health knowledge were significantly improved (all P<0.001). Conclusions:In the season with high incidence of respiratory diseases, the use of new media platforms, such as WeChat and Weibo, to conduct health education had a good performance, resulting in higher rate of knowledge about healthy parenting and a significant improvement in daily behaviors in child caregivers. The results showed that the health education about the reexamine of chronic diseases in children should be focused on child caregivers with low education level, especially workers, business/service personnel.

Poor ovarian response (POR) is a pathological condition in which the ovary responds poorly to gonadotropins,and is a major constraint on the unsatisfactory outcome of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Follicular growth,development,maturation,and expulsion are all affected by the yin-yang balance between heart and kidney,as well as the elevation exchange. If the heart and kidney essence and blood are insufficient,water and fire are out of harmony,and qi movement is not smooth,fewer high-quality follicles will be recruited and acquired during the ovarian stimulation cycle,resulting in a low transferable embryo rate and unacceptable pregnancy result. Sympathetic treatment of heart and kidney should be based on the following principles at different stages of the IVF-ET cycle:replenishing the heart,kidney,essence,and blood before entering the cycle,in order to nourish the essence and assist in the growth of the follicles;nourishing renal water,and clearing heart fire during the pituitary down-regulation period,in order to lessen the negative effects of the down-regulation medicinals;regulating the depression of the heart,liver,spleen,and kidney meridians during the follicle's retrieval period,in order to encourage the smooth release of the ova;and warming heart and kidney fire to improve endometrial tolerance during the implantation period. The application of the theory of intercourse of heart and kidney to elucidate the pathogenesis of POR is critical to the development of clinical strategies for fertility enhancement,as well as providing new ideas for the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine in the field of reproduction.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between hearing loss and microvascular complications in diabetes.Methods:This cross-sectional study conducted the data from 572 patients with diabetes hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of the General Hospital of Southern Theater Command from September 2022 to July 2023. All participants underwent electrical audiometry and acoustic immittance in the ENY department. Based on the audiometric results, participants were categorized into normal hearing group and hearing loss group. Additionally, 572 non-diabetic patients from the outpatient department were enrolled as the non-diabetic group. The general information and laboratory results were collected and compared using t test, rank sum test or χ2 test. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of diabetic hearing loss with diabetic kidney disease(DKD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Results:Among 572 patients with diabetes, 429 suffered from hearing loss and 143 were normal. χ2 test showed significant differences in combined DKD and DPN between two groups, but not in DR. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis identified DKD and DPN as risk factors for hearing loss, but no correlation was found with DR. Conclusion:Diabetic patients with DKD or DPN should be monitored for potential hearing loss. Early screening and treatment are crucial to prevent severe hearing impairment.

Objective: To understand the association between waist circumference with psychological sub health among middle school students in Xinjiang, and to provide evidence for the management of waist circumference and effective prevention of mental health problems. Methods: By using the stratified cluster sampling, 6 191 middle school students aged 13-15 in Urumqi, Karamay, Yining, and Kashgar of Xinjiang were surveyed on demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference, and psychological sub health symptoms. Chi square test, one way ANOVA, and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the association between waist circumference and mental sub health. Results: The detection rate of psychological subhealth among secondary school students in Xinjiang was 21.4%. The detection rates of emotional problems, behavioral problems, and social adjustment difficulties were 28.4 %, 28.1%, and 17.7%, respectively. Significant differences in the detection rate of emotional problems, social adjustment difficulties, and psychological sub health scores were observed among students with different waist circumference levels ( F= 4.03 , 10.90 , 5.81, P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that secondary school students with high waist circumference had a higher risk of social adjustment difficulties ( OR=1.45, 95%CI =1.20-1.75) and psychological sub health problems ( OR=1.46, 95%CI =1.22-1.74) compared to those with normal waist circumference ( P <0.01). Conclusion Psychological sub health problems of middle school students in Xinjiang are prominent, and the waist circumference is positively related to the psychological sub health problems. Schools should pay attention to the mental health education of middle school students, ensure reasonable diet, sleep and living habits, and promote their physical and mental health development.

Objective To quantitatively analyze the risk indicators of re-introduction of imported malaria in China and their weighting coefficients, so as to investigate the difference in the contribution of risk indicators included in the current risk assessment framework for re-introduction of imported malaria in China to the risk assessment of re-introduction of imported malaria. Methods Publications pertaining to the risk assessment framework for re-introduction of imported malaria in China that reported the risk indicators and their weighting coefficients were retrieved in PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP with terms of “malaria”, “re-introduction/re-transmission/re-establishment”, “risk assessment/risk evaluation/risk prediction” from the inception of the database through 3 August 2023, and literature search was performed in Google Scholar to ensure the comprehensiveness of the retrieval. Basic characteristics of included studies were extracted using pre-designed information extraction forms by two investigators, and data pertaining to risk indicators of re-introduction of imported malaria were cross-checked by these two investigators. The risk indicators included in the risk assessment framework for re-introduction of imported malaria in China and their weighting coefficients were visualized with the Nightingale’s rose diagrams using the software R 4.2.1, and the importance of risk indictors was evaluated with the frequency of risk indicators included in the risk assessment framework and the ranking of weighting coefficients of risk indicators. In addition, the capability of risk indicators screened by different weighting methods was compared by calculating the ratio of the maximum to the minimum of the weighting coefficients of the risk indicators screened by different weighting methods. Results A total of 2 138 publications were retrieved, and following removal of duplications and screening, a total of 8 publications were included in the final analysis. In these 8 studies, 8 risk assessment frameworks for re-introduction of imported malaria in China and 52 risk indicators of re-introduction of imported malaria were reported, in which number of imported malaria cases (n = 8) and species of malaria vectors were more frequently included in the risk assessment frameworks (n = 8), followed by species of imported malaria parasites (n = 6) and population density of local malaria vectors (n = 6), and species of local malaria vectors (n = 6), number of imported malaria cases (n = 5) and species of imported malaria parasites had the three highest weighting coefficients (n = 4). The weighting methods included expert scoring method, combination of expert scoring method and analytic hierarchy process, and combination of expert scoring method and entropy weight method in these 8 studies, and the ratios of the maximum to the minimum of the weighting coefficients of the risk indicators screened by the expert scoring method were 1.143 to 2.241, while the ratios of the maximum to the minimum of the weighting coefficients of the risk indicators screened by combination of the expert scoring method and analytic hierarchy process were 34.970 to 162.000. Conclusions Number of imported malaria cases, species of imported malaria parasites, species of local malaria vectors and population density of local malaria vectors are core indicators in the current risk assessment framework for re-introduction of imported malaria in China. Combination of the expert scoring method and analytic hierarchy process is superior to the expert scoring method alone for weighting the risk indicators.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic biliary drainage for biliary fistula.Methods:Data of consecutive 409 biliary fistula patients who were treated and diagnosed at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from November 2002 to November 2022 were reviewed, and 53 patients who received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) drainage were finally included. General information, procedural conditions, clinical outcomes and adverse events were analyzed. The patients were categorized into two groups: the endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) group ( n=46) and the endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) group ( n=7). Procedural characteristics, operation outcomes, and operation time were compared between the two groups. Results:There were 36 males and 17 females, with the age of 52.2±12.7 years, among whom 58.5% (31/53) were secondary to cholecystectomy. Clinical success was achieved in 83.0% (44/53) patients, with the operation time of 27.0 (13.5, 33.5) minutes and the treatment session of 1 (1, 2). The time to resolution was 89 (47, 161) days. The success rate of ERCP for low-grade biliary fistula was higher compared with that of high-grade biliary fistula [96.4% (27/28) VS 68.0% (17/25), χ2=7.57, P=0.006]. Bridging drainage achieved higher success rate compared with that of non-bridging drainage [91.7% (33/36) VS 64.7% (11/17), χ2=5.95, P=0.015], while different diameters of stents (≥10 Fr VS <10 Fr) achieved similar success rate [81.8% (27/33) VS 84.6% (11/13), χ2=0.05, P=0.822]. Adverse events occurred in 10 patients (18.9%), including 6 pancreatitis, 2 bleeding, 1 cholangitis and 1 death. Except for 1 death, 9 other adverse events were mild and managed with conservative treatment without interventions. There was no significant difference in clinical success rate [6/7 VS 82.6% (38/46), χ2=0.04, P=0.838] or the median operation time [28.0 min VS 23.0 min, Z=0.38, P=0.774] between ENBD group and ERBD group. Conclusion:Endoscopic biliary drainage is safe and effective for biliary fistula. ENBD and ERBD have comparable clinical efficacy. ERCP for low-grade biliary fistula may achieve a higher success rate, and bridging drainage may facilitate fistula resolution.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost -effectiveness of tislelizumab in the second -line treatment of advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma （ESCC）in China .METHODS A three -state Markov model was constructed to assess the cost -effectiveness of tislelizumab versus chemotherapy in the second -line treatment of advanced or metastatic ESCC and programmed death receptor 1（PD-L1）positive patients . The cycle length of the model was 1 month，and the time horizon of the model was set as 10 years. The discount rate of cost and utility was 5%. One-way sensitivity analysis ，probability sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were used to verify the robustness of the base -case analysis results . RESULTS The results of the base-case analysis showed that compared with chemotherapy ，the incremental cost -effectiveness ratio （ICER）of tislelizumab in the second-line treatment of advanced or metastatic ESCC and PD -L1-positive patients were 26 864.01 yuan/QALY and 37 510.07 yuan/QALY，respectively，which was much lower than 1 time per capita gross domestic product （GDP）in 2021（80 976 yuan）. Results of scenario analysis showed that the ICER was less than 1 times per capita GDP ，regardless of the chemotherapy regimens（paclitaxel，docetaxel or irinotecan ）used. With the extension of the simulation time limit ，the ICER of tirelizumab regimen gradually decreased ，and the reduction rate gradually E-mail：lishunping@sdu.edu.cn decreased，but they were all less than 1 time China ’s per capita GDP in 2021. The results of the one -way sensitivity analysis showed that the 3 parameters with the most significant impact on the ICER were progression -free survival of tislelizumab group ，price of tislelizumab ，and the proportion of patients receiving follow-up treatment in the tislelizumab group . The results of the probability sensitivity analysis showed that the probability of tislelizumab with cost -effectiveness in the treatment of advanced or metastatic ESCC patients and PD -L1-positive patients were 99.09% and 99.94%，respectively，when using 3 times per capita GDP as the willingness -to-pay threshold . CONCLUSIONS Tislelizumab has economic advantages over chemotherapy alone in the second -line treatment of advanced or metastatic ESCC patients.
