AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of ZKY001 eye drops with different concentrations in the treatment of corneal epithelial defects(CED)after primary pterygium excision.METHODS: This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial. From March 15, 2022 to November 14, 2022, patients with primary pterygium who had undergone surgery were recruited from 12 tertiary hospitals across China. Using block randomization, 178 patients(178 eyes)were randomly assigned to 3 groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: 0.002% ZKY001 group(n=59), 0.004% ZKY001 group(n=59), and placebo group(n=60, receiving ZKY001 sham eye drops). Subjects in each group received 1 drop of the study drug 4 times per day for 4 d. The percentage of CED area recovery from baseline, the first complete healing time of CED area, the number of first complete healing cases of CED, and changes in visual analogue scale(VAS)scores for eye discomfort including eye pain, foreign body sensation, tearing and photophobia were observed.RESULTS: In terms of improvement in CED, there were no statistically significant differences among the three groups including the first healing time of CED, the percentage improvement in CED area compared to baseline, and the percentage of first healing cases at different follow-up visits(all P>0.05). Numerically, the first healing time of CED was shorter in the test groups compared to the placebo group(67.87±21.688 h for the 0.002% ZKY001 group, 61.48±22.091 h for the 0.004% ZKY001 group, and 68.85±20.851 h for the placebo group). On D1 morning, the percentage improvement in CED area compared to baseline was maximally different from the placebo group, and the numerical difference advantage was maintained at subsequent follow-up visits. The number of first healing cases in the CED area at different follow-up visits was higher in the test groups than the placebo group. In terms of improvement in ocular discomfort, the total VAS scores were lower in the test groups compared to the placebo group, mainly due to reductions in foreign body sensation and pain scores. At D3, the 0.004% ZKY001 group showed statistically significant improvement in foreign body sensation(P<0.017). In terms of safety, the overall incidence of adverse events was low(9.0%)and similar among groups.CONCLUSION: The use of ZKY001 eyedrops after primary pterygium surgery can safely improve the CED repair, and alleviate postoperative symptoms caused by CED.

Objective To explore the expression level of serum long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)T342620 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and the clinical value of single or combined detection with al-pha-fetoprotein(AFP)for HCC.Methods Case-control studies were conducted.A total of 69 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC group),32 patients with hepatitis B(hepatitis B group),20 patients with liver cirrhosis(liver cirrhosis group),30 patients after transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization(TACE)for primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC postoperative group)and 50 healthy patients(health ex-amination group)treated in the General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command of PLA from April 2021 to May 2023 were selected as the study objects.The serum total RNA was extracted and the relative expression level of lncRNA T342620 in serum was detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Combined with the clinical di-agnosis and treatment data of patients,the correlation between its expression and pathological characteristics and serological indexes was analyzed,and the specificity and sensitivity of lncRNA T342620 alone and in com-bination with AFP in the diagnosis of HCC were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The diagnostic efficacy was judged according to the area under the curve,and its application value in the diag-nosis of HCC was evaluated.The chi-square test was used for comparison between groups,and the Spearman method was used for correlation analysis.Results The serum expression levels of lncRNA T342620 in liver cancer group and postoperative liver cancer group were higher than those in healthy physical examination group,hepatitis B group and liver cirrhosis group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).Clinical pathological and serological index analysis revealed that as the tumor size increased,the serum lncRNA-T342620 expression level also increased.In the HCC group,the serum lncRNA T342620 expression level was negatively correlated with albumin(ALB)and the A/G ratio(P＜0.05),while it was positively cor-related with α-L-fucosidase(AFU)and HBV-DNA(P＜0.05).In patients from the HCC postoperative group,the serum lncRNA T342620 expression level was positively correlated with total bile acid(TBA)(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that when using serum lncRNA T342620 to distinguish,the sensitivi-ty and the specificity were 55.1％and 94.1％,respectively,indicating good diagnostic value.When combined with AFP detection,the sensitivity and the specificity improved to 91.3％and 91.2％,respectively,which were higher than those of individual indicators and had a superior diagnostic efficiency with area under the cuve(AUC)of 0.954 compared to AUC of AFP or lncRNA-T342620 alone(0.906,0.758),and the differ-ences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum lncRNA T342620 may be a new serological index for the auxiliary diagnosis of HCC.

Objective:To analyze and compare the corneal higher order aberration (HOA) after femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE).Methods:A non-randomized controlled study was conducted.Sixty myopic patients (60 eyes) who underwent FS-LASIK or SMILE correction at Shandong Eye Hospital from April 2018 to January 2020 were enrolled and the data from the right eye were collected for analysis.Thirty cases (30 eyes) who received FS-LASIK in FS-LASIK group and 30 cases (30 eyes) who received SMILE in SMILE group had a preoperative equivalent spherical diopter of (-5.36±1.11)D and (-4.93±1.03)D, respectively.The HOA of the 6-mm anterior surface, posterior surface, and whole cornea were measured before surgery and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery using Pentacam.The root mean square values (μm) of total corneal HOA, spherical aberration, coma and trefoil were obtained.Differences in the above root mean square values at different time points were compared between the two groups.The study protocol adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shandong Eye Hospital (No.SDSYKYY20180306). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:The preoperative and 1-, 3-, 6-, 12-month postoperative total HOA of the anterior corneal surface were (0.428±0.126), (0.775±0.169), (0.811±0.194), (0.759±0.214), (0.704±0.199)μm in the FS-LASIK group and (0.409±0.094), (0.656±0.148), (0.681±0.161), (0.668±0.175), (0.648±0.160)μm in the SMILE group, with a significant overall difference ( Fgroup=5.652, P=0.024; Ftime=107.169, P<0.01). Compared with SMILE group, the postoperative total HOA of anterior corneal surface and spherical aberration at different time points were increased in FS-LASIK group, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). Compared with before surgery, the postoperative total HOA of the anterior corneal surface and spherical aberration at different time points were increased in both groups, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). In the two groups, the 6- and 12-month postoperative total HOA of the anterior corneal surface were reduced in comparison with the 3-month postoperative ones of the anterior corneal surface, and the 12-month postoperative spherical aberrations of the anterior corneal surface were significantly reduced in comparison with the 1- and 3-month postoperative ones of the anterior corneal surface, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). There were significant differences in the coma and trefoil of the anterior corneal surface between before and after the operation (coma: Ftime=47.848, P<0.01; trefoil: Ftime=2.497, P=0.046). Compared with before surgery, the postoperative coma was significantly increased in the two groups (all at P<0.05). There were significant differences in total corneal HOA and spherical aberration at different postoperative time points between the two groups (total HOA: Fgroup=8.093, P=0.008; Ftime=125.019, P<0.01.spherical aberration: Fgroup=4.771, P=0.037; Ftime=34.033, P<0.01). Compared with SMILE group, the total corneal HOA and spherical aberration were significantly increased in FS-LASIK group at different postoperative time points (all at P<0.05). Compared with before surgery, postoperative total HOA of the anterior corneal surface and spherical aberration at different postoperative time points were significantly increased in both groups (all at P<0.05). In both groups, the 12-month postoperative corneal spherical aberration was significantly reduced in comparison with the 1- and 3-month postoperative ones (all at P<0.05). There was a significant difference in coma between before and after surgery ( Ftime=30.829, P<0.01). Compared with before surgery, the postoperative coma was significantly increased at different time points in both groups (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Both FS-LASIK and SMILE increase the HOA of the anterior corneal surface and the whole cornea.Compared with FS-LASIK, SMILE introduces less HOA of the anterior corneal surface and the whole cornea as well as spherical aberrations.

Internal auditing for infrastructure projects carried at multi-campuses of a hospital to support hospital strategic growth, is a crucial means in raising the business performance and capacity. A public hospital made a research-based audit to examine infrastructure projects across multi-campuses since 2021. At the pre-trial stage, the audit plan was created in a " two-coordination" manner to define the scope of authority and responsibility of audit objectives; at the in-trial stage, audit priorities were focused on in advance through intelligent early warning, and full-course audit guidance and quality control was made through online real-time audit operation system; at the post-trial stage, efforts were focused on resolving problems, summarizing audit findings. The authors introduced the practice of the hospital and further explained the specific application methods and achievements through case analysis, providing reference for internal audit of infrastructure projects in multi-campus hospitals, for reference in likewise internal auditing.

Objective:To construct an evaluation index system for comprehensive budget management at public hospitals and conduct empirical research for reference in evaluation of comprehensive budget management at public hospitals.Methods:From May to June 2022, based on the Implementation Measures for the Comprehensive Budget Management System of Public Hospitals and its interpretations, literature analysis, and expert interviews, a preliminary evaluation index system was developed for comprehensive budget management of public hospitals. Then the Delphi method was applied for two rounds of expert consultation, with experts invited to evaluate the importance of indexes, while the analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the weight values of indexes. Based on such a comprehensive budget management evaluation index system, a questionnaire was developed, and tertiary public hospitals were selected based on the principle of convenient sampling. Then a questionnaire survey was conducted from June to October 2022. The questionnaire was filled out by hospital level leaders(chief accountants), finance/audit leaders, and directors of finance/audit/operation management departments from the sample hospitals with professional knowledge and rich operational management experience in budget management. The comprehensive budget management level of the sample hospital was thus evaluated based on the survey results. Results:The comprehensive budget management evaluation index system for public hospitals was composed of 2 first-level indexes, 4 second-level indexes, and 20 third-level ones. The weights for the 2 first-level indexes of target building and management orientation were both 0.500, while the weights for the 4 second-level indexes, namely strategic implementation, comprehensive coverage, performance evaluation, and adaptation matching were all 0.250. Among the third-level indexes, the weights of budget execution, system improvement, system establishment, organizational construction, and revenue and expenditure business ranked top five, with weights of 0.070, 0.069, 0.066, 0.066, and 0.064, respectively. A total of 95 hospitals were selected for questionnaire survey, and the evaluation found 46 of them with a comprehensive budget management level of " excellent" and " good" , 27 with a " moderate" level, and 22 with a " poor" and " very poor" level. Scores of the third-level indexes were between 39-94 points, while the score of 6 third-level indexes were below 60 points, namely interconnection, budget analysis, compatibility and adaptation, system improvement, participation level, and assessment application.Conclusions:The evaluation index system for comprehensive budget management at public hospitals in this study proves rational and practical, serving as a reference for the evaluation of comprehensive budget management at public hospitals and related researches.

Objective: To investigate the general situation of scoliosis and influencing factors among middle school students in Guangzhou, so as to provide evidence for behavioral intervention measures. Methods: By stratified cluster random sampling method, 2 121 students from 8 middle schools of Guangzhou were selected to conduct questionnaire survey and physical examination. Results: The detection rate of scoliosis among middle school students in Guangzhou was 8.20%, girls (9.50%)＞boys (7.00%), urban area (10.45%)＞suburb area (4.77%), senior high school (10.08%)＞junior school (6.39%) ( P ＜0.05). Among the most of the 174 positive students were found to have large thoracic curve, right lateral bending, being girls with medium scoliosis. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that students in urban area ( OR=2.56, 95%CI =1.71-3.82), with mobile electronic devices usage time≥3 h/d( OR=1.59, 95%CI =1.12-2.27), prolonged near vision work ≥1 h ( OR=1.40, 95%CI =1.00-1.95), outdoor activity time＜2 h/d( OR=1.82, 95%CI =1.24-2.67) had a higher detection rate of scoliosis ( P <0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of scoliosis among middle school students in Guangzhou is much higher, which might be related to district, mobile electronic devices usage, prolonged near vision work and insufficient outdoor activity. Health education regarding spinal knowledge should be strengthened.

Public hospitals and other non-profit or profit-oriented institutions can engage in external cooperation by way of management, technology, talents and information, and achieve medical resource sharing, complementary advantages, and maximal benefits. In December 2019, a university carried out the whole process audit on 75 external cooperation projects which were carried out from January 2016 to June 2019 by 4 affiliated public hospitals through the " two overall planning" management mode (i.e., overall planning audit projects and overall planning organization). The audit found that there were some problems in the external cooperation projects of public hospitals, such as lack of consistency and scientificity in the management system and decision-making mechanism, lack of standardization and preciseness in the conclusion of contracts, and the inadequate supervision of the implementation of contracts and the insufficient of project effectiveness evaluation and dynamic adjustmont. It is suggested to establish a comprehensive audit path for external cooperation projects of public hospitals, innovate the audit management mode, scientifically and reasonably allocate audit forces, expand the breadth and depth of audit supervision, and strictly implement problem rectification.

Objective:To develop a Risk Assessment Index System (RAIS) on HIV infection among young students based on Delphi method and to provide individual HIV infection risk assessment, targeted prevention and control measures.Methods:Delphi method was applied to determine the index system and weight of the assessment tool through three rounds of expert consultation and overall consideration of opinions and suggestions from 19 experts.Results:The positivity coefficients of three rounds of expert consultation were 100%. The authority coefficient of experts was between 0.887 and 0.945. The Kendall's W coefficients through first, second and third round specialist consultation was 0.379, 0.329 and 0.248, respectively (all P<0.001). The coefficients of variation in the third round were all less than 0.25, indicating that experts' opinion tend to be consistent and the results are highly reliable. The HIV infection risk assessment index system among young students consisted of 7 first grade indices and 54 second grade indices, of which weight was calculated. Conclusions:The RAIS on HIV infection for young students was initially established based on Delphi method, and could be used in the development of HIV infection risk assessment tools for personalized prevention and intervention among young students. However, the reliability, validity and effect of this assessment index system need to be further evaluated.
