Objective:To construct a leadership evaluation indicator system for managers in primary healthcare institutions.Methods:This study was a qualitative research. Based on the Chinese Academy of Sciences′ Five Forces Model of Leadership, the framework of the leadership evaluation indicator system for primary healthcare institution managers was initially constructed through literature review, expert interviews, surveys, and group discussions. From November 2020 to June 2021, 19 experts were invited to participate in two rounds of Delphi expert consultations. Based on the consultation results, the leadership evaluation indicator system for primary healthcare institution managers was developed, and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to determine the weight of each indicator.Results:Nineteen consulting experts were included in the study, 13 of whom were aged 40 years or older, and seven of whom had 20 years or more of professional experience. The response rates of the two rounds of Delphi expert consultation questionnaires were 18/19 and 19/19, respectively; the authority coefficients of the experts were 0.92 and 0.91, respectively. In the second round of consultation, the coordination coefficients of each level of indicators were 0.640, 0.557, and 0.512 ( P<0.05), respectively. The constructed leadership indicator system for managers of primary healthcare institutions included five primary indicators, 16 secondary indicators, and 44 tertiary indicators. The primary indicators, in order of their weight, were "influence"(0.299),"decisiveness"(0.245),"control"(0.156),"inspiration"(0.150), and "foresight"(0.150). Conclusions:This study is a preliminary construction of a leadership evaluation indicator system for managers of primary healthcare institutions, which can be a reference for the training and evaluation of relevant talents.

The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To establish the common carotid artery aneurysm models of Wallstent double stent overlapping implantation in miniature pigs, and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this procedure by observing the imaging and pathological changes.Methods:Sidewall aneurysm and fusiform aneurysm models in Bama miniature pigs were established surgically and 2 Wallstent stents were overlapped and implanted in situ. Aneurysm healing immediately after surgery and during 8 weeks of follow-up were evaluated according to 2D-DSA by O'Kelly-Marotta (OKM) grading scale and Kamran scale; degrees of stent adhesion immediately after surgery and status of stent endothelialization and aneurysm healing at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after surgery were observed by high resolution C-arm CT(HR-CBCT) and optical coherence tomography (OCT); and the changes of stent endothelialization were evaluated by comparing the HR-CBCT and OCT results with histopathology at 8 weeks after surgery. Perioperative adverse events were recorded.Results:After successful establishment of common carotid artery aneurysm models (including 4 sidewall aneurysms and 4 fusiform aneurysms with average diameter of [11.0±2.8] mm) in 8 miniature pigs, a total of 16 Wallstent stents (2 in each aneurysm) were implanted across the aneurysmal neck, with a technical success rate of 100%. No serious complications such as acute stent thrombosis, or aneurysm rupture and bleeding were observed in the perioperative period. The 2D-DSA immediately after surgery showed obvious intracranial contrast agent retention in 6 patients (1 patient in grading 1, 3 in grading 2, and 2 in grading 3) and aneurysm occlusion in 2 patients (grading 4). Eight weeks after follow-up, all 8 aneurysms had complete occlusions (grading 4); and 2 experimental pigs had in-stent restenosis, with stenosis rates of 52% and 67%, respectively. HR-CBCT and OCT immediately after surgery and during follow-up indicated that the stent metal braid was gradually covered by proliferating intima, with disappeared aneurysm. The cause of in-stent restenosis in 2 experimental pigs was local intima hyperplasia resulted from poor stent adhesion, and pathological findings indicated that the intima hyperplasia was mainly composed of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissues.Conclusion:In animal models, Wallstent stent overlapping implantation is safe and effective in common carotid aneurysms, but intraoperative adverse adhesion of overlapping stent should be avoided.

Objective:
To detect the feasibility and efficiency of bone age(BA) artificial intelligence(AI) estimation based on deep learning features from traditional regions of interest(ROI) in hand digital radiographs(DR).
Methods:
BA dataset of left hand DR with 11 858 subjects aged from 0 to 18 years in Children′s Hospital of Shanghai were split to training(80.0%) and validation (20.0%) set in this study. An improved regression convolutional neural networks and extreme gradient boosting decision tree method were utilized for the BA analysis based on traditional ROIs in the images. Another set of BA data with 1 229 subjects also in the hospital was adopted for test. Mean average precision(mAP) and mean absolute error(MAE) were used to assess model accuracy of detection and BA prediction, respectively.
Results:
The mAP of ROIs detection of the model was 0.91,and MAE of all male and female subjects was 0.461 and 0.431 years respectively in validation and test sets. The difference less than 1 year in test accounted for 90.07% between BA assessment of the model and of the peadiatric radiologists, with an accuracy rate of 96.67%.The difference over 1 year was 9.03% (with underestimation of 6.43% and overestimation of 2.60%), in which corresponding age data was of being less in training set or sesamoid nearby adductor pollicis or fusion of epiphysis appeared in test set.
Conclusion
An AI model based on deep learning of traditional ROIs′ features in hand DR images is initially achieved to automatically predict BA rapidly and effectively, yet it still needs further optimization.

Objective To discuss the correlation between dynamic changes in pulmonary function and chronic cough in 5-to-14-year-old children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)after acute period(about 2 weeks after admission). Methods One hundred and fifty - six hospitalized children diagnosed with MPP from Lianyungang Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University from February 2014 to May 2017 were selected. According to the results of routine ventilatory pulmonary function before discharge(10-14 days in hospital;acute phase group),there were 50 patients with normal pulmonary function and 106 patients with abnormal pulmonary function. All patients continued to take oral azithromycin for 2 to 3 courses after discharge,and the indexes of lung function were dynamically tracked in 1 month(1-month group)and 2 months(2-month group)in the group of abnormal lung function after leaving the hospital,and the incidences and causes of chronic cough were followed up. Results (1)There were 106 cases with abnormal pulmonary function in 156 cases with MPP in acute phase group,and the rate of incidence was 67. 95%. Twenty-seven(29. 35%)out of 97 children were still abnormal in pulmonary functional testing 1 month after leaving hospital( 1-month group). Among the 27 cases,about 18. 52%(5/27 cases) of them still did not return to normal 2 months after discharge( 2-month group ). There were significant differences in the occurrence of abnormal pulmonary function among 3 groups mentioned above(χ2 =162. 64,P<0. 001).(2)Ratios of measured values and predicted ones of forced vital capacity( FVC ),forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1 ),peak expiratory flow(PEF)and maximum mid-expiratory flow(MMEF 25% -75%)in the lung function of 2-month group after the acute phase of MPP were significantly higher than those of 1-month group and acute phase group,and the values of 1 -month group were better than those in acute phase one,which were statistically different among 3 groups(P<0. 01).(3)The rate of occurrence of chronic cough in normal lung function group was about 18. 00%(9/50 cases),and in abnormal pulmonary function group,it was about 70. 75%(75/106 cases). There was a significant difference between them(χ2 =35. 96,P<0. 05). Abnormal pulmonary functions were the influencing factors of chronic cough(r=0. 55,P<0. 01).(4)There were 5 cases with upper airway cough syndrome(UACS)and 4 cases with post-infection cough(PIC)found in the normal lung function group. By contrast,75 cases suffered from chronic cough in abnormal pulmonary functions group,of which 36 cases with cough variant asthma( CVA),24 cases with UACS,8 cases with comorbidity of CVA and UACS and 7 cases with PIC. Conclusions Abnormal lung function after acute period of MPP may last 4 to 8 weeks,or probably even longer. In normal lung function group,UACS is the most common cause,then followed by PIC. On the contrary,the main cause of chronic cough in abnormal pulmonary function group is CVA,followed by UACS. Chronic cough is related to abnormal lung function after acute phase of MPP.
