Objective To explore the prevalent challenges in the construction and operation of SPD(Supply,Process-ing,and Distribution)projects for medical consumables and to propose corresponding strategies,thereby offering hospital supply managers insights for references.Methods Based on the questionnaire survey,the scope of difficulties was assessed across 23 hospitals.scores of each difficult point were calculated with descriptive statistics methods according to various stages,and the causes were analyzed.Results The overall scores of the survey ranged from 50 to 77 points,with the highest in each category being system interface docking(77 points),system stability(73 points),inventory carry-over(61 points),and the professional capability of SPD service provider(66 points).Conclusion In the construction and operation of SPD projects,it is essential to select an SPD model and service provider that aligns with the hospital's own characteristics.Establishing robust assessment mechanisms for SPD service providers and personnel training,as well as a comprehensive system audit and testing framework,can ensure system stability.Additionally,effective work assignment and performance evaluation of SPD personnel should be well-man-aged.

In order to improve the level of refined management of medical consumables, a hospital used radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to map the unique device identification barcode of medical devices to the supply-processing-distribution (SPD) code, generating a medical consumables RFID tag code with dual code carrier function and a unique serial number. The " three streams in one" mutual integration management mode of hospital information flow, material flow and financial flow was constructed, which realized the whole lifecycle traceability of medical consumables, effectively improved the intelligence and accuracy of inventory control, further optimized the integration function of medical consumables industry and finance, and provided strong data support for the decision-making analysis of hospital operation and management.

OBJECTIVE To study the effect and potential mechanism of eriodictyol on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD）. METHODS Sixteen C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group， NAFLD model group， and eriodictyol low-dose and high-dose groups （50， 100 mg/kg）， with 4 mice in each group. Except for control group， the other groups were fed with high fat diet to induce NAFLD model. After four weeks of preprocessing， they were given relevant medicine intraperitoneally （0.01 mL/g）， once a day， for 6 consecutive weeks. The body weight and liver weight of mice were measured， and the pathological damage of liver tissue in mice was observed. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， alanine aminotransferase（ALT）， and triglycerides （TG） in serum， as well as the protein expressions of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） and heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） in liver tissue were determined. In vitro NAFLD model was established by using 0.5 mmol/L oleic acid （OA） in HepG2 cells. Normal control group， NAFLD model group and eriodictyol low-， medium- and high-concentration groups （50， 100， 150 μmol/L） were set up. HepG2 cells in drug groups were treated with eriodictyol for 24 h at the time of modeling. The lipid deposition was observed in cells， and the levels of TG， malondialdehyde （MDA） and reactive oxygen species （ROS） as well as the phosphorylation levels of the mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） signal pathway related proteins [extracellular signal-regulated kinase （ERK）， c- Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK）] and the protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 were all determined. RESULTS In the in vivo experiment， compared with the NAFLD model group， the body weight， liver weight， the serum levels of AST， ALT and TG were all decreased significantly in eriodictyol low- and high-dose groups （except for serum level of AST in eriodictyol low-dose group） （P＜0.01）； liver lipid deposition was reduced significantly and the protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 in liver tissues were further up-regulated （P＜0.01）. In the in vitro experiment， compared with the NAFLD model group， the lipid deposition in hepatocytes was reduced in eriodictyol low-， medium- and high-concentration groups （P＜0.01）， and the levels of ROS， MDA and TG were down-regulated （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； the phosphorylation levels of ERK and JNK were significantly down-regulated （P＜0.01）， while the protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 were up-regulated significantly （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Eriodictyol can inhibit MAPK signaling pathway and activate Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway to alleviate NAFLD.

Conclusion The device has a good measurement performance for low-energy γ/X rays, effectively addressing the limitations of existing devices for monitoring low-energy radiation fields, and provide reliable technical methods for monitoring and emergency response in spent fuel reprocessing plants or nuclear material production plants.

Lingguizhugan Decoction (LGZG) has been investigated in basic studies, with satisfactory effects on insulin resistance in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This translational approach aimed to explore the effect and underlying mechanism of LGZG in clinical setting. A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was performed. A total of 243 eligible participants with NAFLD were equally allocated to receive LGZG (two groups: standard dose and low dose) or placebo for 12 weeks on the basis of lifestyle modifications. The primary efficacy variable was homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Analyses were performed in two populations in accordance with body mass index (BMI; overweight/obese, BMI ⩾ 24 kg/m²; lean, BMI < 24 kg/m²). For overweight/obese participants, low-dose LGZG significantly decreased their HOMA-IR level compared with placebo (-0.19 (1.47) versus 0.08 (1.99), P = 0.038). For lean subjects, neither dose of LGZG showed a superior effect compared with placebo. Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing and real-time qPCR found that the DNA N6-methyladenine modification levels of protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 3A (PPP1R3A) and autophagy related 3 (ATG3) significantly increased after LGZG intervention in overweight/obese population. Low-dose LGZG effectively improved insulin resistance in overweight/obese subjects with NAFLD. The underlying mechanism may be related to the regulation of DNA N6-methyladenine modification of PPP1R3A and ATG3. Lean subjects may not be a targeted population for LGZG.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a child presented with renal failure and multi-cystic dysplastic kidney without anal atresia. METHODS: Peripheral blood sample of the child and his parents were collected and subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The 40-day-old infant had presented with vomiting brown matter in a 7 days neonate and was transferred for kidney failure. Clinical examination has discovered renal failure, polycystic renal dysplasia, congenital hypothyroidism, bilateral thumb polydactyly, sensorineural hearing loss and preauricular dermatophyte. Genetic testing revealed that he has harbored a previously unreported c.824delT, p.L275Yfs*10 frameshift variant of SALL1 gene, which was confirmed by Sanger sequencing as de novo. CONCLUSION The patient was diagnosed with Townes-Brocks syndrome due to the novel de novo variant of SALL1 gene. Townes-Brocks syndrome without anal atresia is rare. Above finding has also enriched the mutational spectrum of the SALL1 gene.

Objective To assess the imported risk of COVID-19 in Guangdong province and its cities, and conduct early warning. Methods Data of reported COVID-19 cases and Baidu Migration Index of 21 cities in Guangdong province and other provinces of China as of February 25, 2020 were collected. The imported risk index of each city in Guangdong province were calculated, and then correlation analysis was performed between reported cases and the imported risk index to identify lag time. Finally, we classified the early warming levels of epidemic by imported risk index. Results A total of 1 347 confirmed cases were reported in Guangdong province, and 90.0% of the cases were clustered in the Pearl River Delta region. The average daily imported risk index of Guangdong was 44.03. Among the imported risk sources of each city, the highest risk of almost all cities came from Hubei province, except for Zhanjiang from Hainan province. In addition, the neighboring provinces of Guangdong province also had a greater impact. The correlation between the imported risk index with a lag of 4 days and the daily reported cases was the strongest (correlation coefficient: 0.73). The early warning base on cumulative 4-day risk of each city showed that Dongguan, Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Guangzhou, Foshan and Huizhou have high imported risks in the next 4 days, with imported risk indexes of 38.85, 21.59, 11.67, 11.25, 6.19 and 5.92, and the highest risk still comes from Hubei province. Conclusions Cities with a large number of migrants in Guangdong province have a higher risk of import. Hubei province and neighboring provinces in Guangdong province are the main source of the imported risk. Each city must strengthen the health management of migrants in high-risk provinces and reduce the imported risk of Guangdong province.

Background/Aims: The risk factors of colorectal stricture associated with ulcerative colitis (UC) carcinogenesis in the long-term disease duration remain unclear. Methods: This study included all UC patients registered from a prospectively maintained database between June 1986 to July 2018. The demographic data, clinical features, and outcomes in patients with dysplasia and stricture were assessed using univariable analysis and multivariate logistic regression models. Results: A total of 246 eligible patients were in-cluded in the analysis. The median follow-up time was 13.0 years (interquartile range [IQR], 9.0 to 16.0). There were 35 cases (14.2%) of colorectal stricture. Patients with stricture had worse clinical outcomes. Stricture formation (odds ratio [OR], 9.350; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.842 to 30.762), inflammatory polyps (OR, 5.464; 95% CI, 1.692 to 17.638), disease duration of more than 10 years (OR, 3.223; 95% CI, 1.040 to 9.985), and age >40 years at diagnosis (OR, 8.499; 95% CI, 1.903 to 37.956) were significantly associated with high-grade dysplasia or colorectal cancer. In addition, disease duration of more than 5 years (OR, 3.211; 95% CI, 1.168 to 8.881), moderated anemia (OR, 3.373; 95% CI, 1.472 to 7.731), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (OR, 5,842; 95% CI, 1.395 to 24.468) were contributing factors for the development of colorectal stricture. Conclusions Colorectal stricture had the highest risk for malignant transformation.Earlier initiation of colonoscopic surveillance in UC patients with risk factors for stricture should be considered to prevent stricture formation and further malignant transformation.
