【Objective】 To study the annual financial expenditure in blood stations with different scales, and to establish the regression equation between blood collection units and total expenditure. 【Methods】 The annual total expenditure, the per capita cost of serving population, as well as the collection units of whole blood and apheresis platelet of 24 blood stations were collected. The financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood was calculated.The statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS statistical software. 【Results】 From 2017 to 2020, the total annual financial expenditure of 24 blood stations showed an upward trend. The total expenditure among blood stations was different. The per capita cost of servicing population in the areas where the 24 blood stations were located had been increasing year by year. The 24 blood stations were divided into two grades according to the blood collection volume as 50 000 U, and the relationship equation between the blood collection volume and the annual total expenditure had been established. After testing, each equation was effective(P<0.05); There was no difference in the financial expenditure required for collecting 10 000U blood among blood stations with different scales. 【Conclusion】 From 2017 to 2020, the blood stations with an annual collection volume more than 50 000 U demonstrated a higher financial expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population than those <50 000 U. The blood collection volume of blood stations is significantly correlated with the annual total expenditure and the per capita cost of serving population.

Objective:To explore the effects of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy.Methods:A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in 21 hospitals in China. Information of age, height, pre-pregnancy weight, IPI, history of diseases, complications of pregnancy, gestational age of delivery, delivery mode, and pregnancy outcomes of the participants were collected by consulting medical records of pregnant women who had two consecutive deliveries in the same hospital during 2011 to 2018. The participants were divided into 4 groups according to IPI:<18 months, 18-23 months, 24-59 months and ≥60 months. According to the WHO′s recommendation, with the IPI of 24-59 months group as a reference, to the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy were analyzed. Stratified analysis was further carried out based on age, history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), macrosomia, and premature delivery, to explore the differences in the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes among women with different characteristics.Results:A total of 8 026 women were included in this study. There were 423, 623, 5 512 and 1 468 participants in <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group, respectively. (1) The age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), history of cesarean section, GDM, gestational hypertension and cesarean section delivery rate of <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group were gradually increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). (2) After adjusting for potential confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, the risk of premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, and oligohydramnios were increased by 42% ( OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.07-1.88, P=0.015), 46% ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.13-1.88, P=0.004), and 64% ( OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.13-2.38, P=0.009) respectively for women in the IPI≥60 months group. No effects of IPI on other pregnancy outcomes were found in this study ( P>0.05). (3) After stratified by age and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of oligohydramnios for women with advanced age ( OR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.41-5.83, P=0.004); and <18 months could increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women under the age of 35 ( OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.04-2.43, P=0.032). Both the risk of premature rupture of membranes ( OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.18-2.13, P=0.002) and premature delivery ( OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.07-2.17, P=0.020) were significantly increased in the IPI≥60 months group. After stratified by history of GDM and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would lead to an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage for women with a history of GDM ( OR=5.34, 95% CI: 1.45-19.70, P=0.012) and an increased risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of GDM ( OR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.10-1.90, P=0.009). After stratified by history of macrosomia and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months could increase the proportion of cesarean section for women with a history of macrosomia ( OR=4.11, 95% CI: 1.18-14.27, P=0.026) and the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of macrosomia ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.12-1.89, P=0.005). After stratified by history of premature delivery and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of premature delivery ( OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.13-1.92, P=0.004). Conclusions:Both IPI≥60 months and <18 months would increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy. Healthcare education and consultation should be conducted for women of reproductive age to maintain an appropriate IPI when they plan to pregnant again, to reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy.

Objective:To develop a convolutional neural network based model for assisting pathological diagnoses on thyroid liquid-based cytology specimens.Methods:Seven-hundred thyroid TCT slides were collected, scanned for whole slide imaging (WSI), and divided into training and test sets after labeling the correct diagnosis (benign versus malignant). The extracted regions of interest after noise filtering were cropped into pieces of 512 × 512 patch on 10 × and 40 × magnifications, respectively. A classification model was constructed using deeply learning algorithms, and applied to the training set, then automatically tuned in the test set. After data enhancement and parameters optimization, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the model were calculated. Results The training set with 560 WSI contained 4 926 cell clusters (11 164 patches), while the test set with 140 WSI contained 977 cell clusters (1 402 patches). YOLO network was selected to establish a detection model, and ResNet50 was used as a classification model. With 40 epochs training, results from 10× magnifications showed an accuracy of 90.01%, sensitivity of 89.31%, specificity of 92.51%, positive predictive value of 97.70% and negative predictive value of 70.82%. The area under curve was 0.97. The average diagnostic time was less than 1 second. Although the model for data of 40× magnifications was very sensitive (98.72%), but its specificity was poor, suggesting that the model was more reliable at 10× magnification. Conclusions:The performance of a deep-learning based model is equivalent to pathologists′ diagnostic performance, but its efficiency is far beyond. The model can greatly improve consistency and efficiency, and reduce the missed diagnosis rate. In the future, larger studies should have more morphology diversity, improve model′s accuracy and eventually develop a model for direct clinical use.

Objective To evaluate effectiveness of prevention and treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for one year at community health-care service (CHS)centers. Methods A quasi-experiment design was used to evaluate effectiveness of community management for patients with COPD who visited and registered at Xiaokunshan and Xinbang CHS centers in Songjiang district of Shanghai in 2008, with COPD patients from Xiaokunshan community CHS center as management group and those from Xinbang as control. Measures for community management included training for local general practitioners in essential knowledge of COPD prevention and treatment, allocation of necessary drugs for COPD treatment, and health education for COPD patients and their family members. No special measures were taken for control group except routine treatment. Results A total of 132 patients were diagnosed as COPD according to their pulmonary function on 2008, 61 at Xiaokunshan and 71 at Xinbang CHS canters.One hundred and two patients, 47 at Xiaokunshan and 55 at Xinbang, finished one-year follow-up. Five patients from Xiaokunshan who were smokers at their first visits and three of them quitted smoking after oneyear management. Meanwhile, none of nine smoked patients from Xinbang quitted smoking in the same period. There was no statistically significant difference in symptom scores, pulmonary function, and forced expiratory volume at the first second (FEV1) between patients in the two groups during one-year follow-up.Average score of quality of life in patients at Xiaokunshan dropped to 39. 12 after one-year management from 46. 96 at their first visits, and that in patients at Xinbang increased to 62. 11 from 56. 55 (P＜0.01).Average six-minute walking distance (6-MWD) in patients at Xiaokunshan reduced to 354. 26 meters after one-year management from 361.66 meters at their first visits, meanwhile that in patients at Xinbang reduced to 351.18 meters from 398.07 meters (P =0. 008). Scores of functional dyspnea in patients at Xiaokunshan fell to 0.34 from 0.40 at their first visit, meanwhile that in patients at Xinbang increased to 1.00 from 0.95(P =0.038). During the one-year follow-up, 13 patients at Xiaokunshan and 53 at Xinbang visited emergency departments for treatment, and four at Xiaokunshan were hospitalized and none died, and five at Xinbang were hospitalized due to acute exacerbation of COPD and four of them died. Conclusions The study suggests that strengthening prevention and treatment for COPD patients at community level by general practitioners, patients themselves and their family members can improve their quality of life, reduce emergency visits and hospitalization, alleviate dyspnea symptoms and delay the decline of 6MWD.

BACKGROUND: Several studies have demonstrated that sphingosine-l-phosphate(S1P)can induce the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells differentiation into smooth muscle cells.Whether S1P,rather than 5-azacytidine,can be used as an inducer of mesenchymal stem cells differentiation into cardiomyocytes remains unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possibility that S1P promotes human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(HUMSCs)differentiation into cardiomyocytes in the presence of different culture media.METHODS: HUMSCs were cultured with cardiomyocyte conditional medium(CMCM)and/or SIP media.At 1,5,and 10 days of culture,morphological changes of HUMSCs were observed.After culture for 10 days,the induced cells were confirmed by immunocytochemical analysis and patch clamp in terms of cell phenotype and function.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: During the induction,some cells gradually enlarged,elongated,connected with adjacent cells,and formed myotube-like structures,and some cells congregated into cell clusters in the CMCM and CMCM+S1P groups.In the CMCM+S1P group,cells exhibited special perpendicular terrace-shaped,intercalated disc-like arrangement.Immunohistochemistry results revealed that some cells strongly express specific antibodies against sarcomeric myosin andα-actinin in the CMCM and CMCM+S1P groups.These findings suggest that HUMSCs can be induced to differentiate into cardiomyocytes.Through the use of patch clamp technique,a rapid ascending,but without plateau phase,action potential,a voltage dependent inward current,and a voltage dependent outward current were recorded in some cells from the CMCM+S1P group.These findings indicate that S1P plays a key role in promoting cardiomyogenic differentiation of HUMSCs and functional integration.
