Objective To analyze the evaluation and influencing factors of healthy enterprises in Hubei Province from 2020 to 2023. Methods A total of 351 enterprises participated in the healthy enterprise evaluation in Hubei province were selected as the study subjects using the judgmental sampling method. The differences in evaluation results including scales, industry sector, and ownership type of the enterprises were compared. Results The median and the 25th and 75th percentiles [M (P₂₅, P₇₅)] of the evaluation score among the 351 enterprises was 869 (838, 941) points. The evaluation pass rate was 82.3%. The M(P₂₅, P₇₅) of scores for the management system, health environment, health management and services, health culture, and health outcome review were 183 (174, 192), 190 (181, 198), 340 (321, 376), 133 (122, 142), and 26 (24, 28) points, with the score percentage of 91.5%, 86.4%, 85.0%, 88.7%, and 86.7%, respectively. The deduction rate exceeded 50.0% in six items, which predominantly concentrated within the primary indicator of the health management and services, among the tertiary indicators. The result of multiple linear regression analysis revealed that smaller enterprises had significantly lower evaluation scores (P<0.05), and domestically funded enterprises scored significantly lower than those with investment from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, or foreign investments (all P<0.05). Conclusion Health management and services represent a weak area in healthy enterprise development in Hubei Province. It was suggested to improve policy incentives and support for medium-, small- and micro-sized enterprises, and domestically funded enterprises, to enhance healthy enterprise development levels.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of pseudomonas aeruginosa Injection (PAI) in the treatment of coeliac leakage after cervical lymph node dissection for robotic thyroid cancer.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 1262 patients who underwent robotic thyroid surgery at the 960th Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army from Jan. 2021 to Aug. 2023 was made. Postoperative celiac leakage happened in 28 patients. The control and injection groups were divided according to whether pseudomonas aeruginosa injection was used or not. In the control group, there were 4 males and 11 females out of 15 patients, with an average age of (46.20±9.02) years old, and the treatment methods of low-fat diet, negative pressure suction, and pressure bandage were used. In the injection group, there were 7 males and 6 females among 13 patients, with an average age of (41.00±8.87) years. They were treated with low-fat diet, negative pressure suction, pressure bandage, and PAI .The number of lymph node dissection, total drainage volume, peak drainage volume, days of hospitalization and the rate of decline in drainage volume within 24 h after the use of PAI in the injection group, post-injection temperature, number of injections, and post-injection extubation time were statistically analyzed in both groups. Independent samples t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test were used for comparison between groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in age, gender, extent of thyroidectomy, highest daily drainage volume, and total drainage volume between the two groups ( P>0.05). The difference in the number of lymph node dissection (49.15±23.05 vs. 30.80±11.76, P=0.012) and hospitalization time (11.77±4.64 vs. 16.40±6.42, P=0.041) between the injection group and the control group was statistically significant. After the use of pseudomonas aeruginosa injection, the draining fluid decreased from the previous day (69.56± 20.82) % in the injection group; Twelve patients were successfully extubated after one injection of pseudomonas aeruginosa injection, and one patient was successfully extubated after two injections; the mean time to extubation after injection was (3.85±1.28) days; 76.9% patients (10/13) had fever symptoms within 48 h with body temperature (38.05±0.89) ℃ after injection, body temperature returned to normal after symptomatic treatment,and no other adverse reactions occurred except fever. Conclusion:Pseudomonas aeruginosa injection is safe and effective in the treatment of celiac leakage after cervical lymph node dissection for robotic thyroid cancer, effectively reducing cervical drainage and shortening hospitalization days.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and underactive bladder (UAB) are common types of lower urinary tract dysfunction in women.As the treatment mechanisms of the two conditions are contradictory, the treatment of SUI patients complicated with UAB remains a difficult clinical problem.In order to improve the treatment rate of such patients and promote research, this paper reviews the latest domestic and overseas diagnostic criteria of UAB, summarizes the treatment experience of conventional midurethral sling (tension-free vaginal tape or outside-in transobturator tape) and adjustable sling procedures (transobturator adjustable tape or Remeex system) combined with medication or intermittent catheterization, and the application prospects of cutting-edge technologies such as stem cell injection, cytokine therapy and gene therapy, so as to provide reference for clinicians and researchers.

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 simulate the neuroendoscopy assisted contralateral cervical 7 (C 7) nerve transfer via prespinal route and measure its relevant anatomical landmarks to explore the clinical feasibility and efficacy of this surgical approach for central upper limb spastic paralysis. Methods:(1) Six fresh cadaver specimens of the head and neck were obtained. Linear incisions of approximately 5 cm were made above the midpoint of the bilateral clavicles to simulate neuroendoscopy assisted contralateral C 7 nerve transfer via prespinal route. With the superior margin of midpoint of the clavicle as central point, distance to the distal bifurcation of the C 7 nerve, distances to the superior or inferior trunks of the proximal brachial plexus nerves, and distances to the exit of the intervertebral foramina of the C 6, C 7, and C 8 nerves were measured. (2) One patient with upper limb spastic paralysis after intracerebral hemorrhage accepted neuroendoscopy assisted contralateral C 7 nerve transfer via prespinal route; the clinical data and efficacy of the patient were retrospectively analyzed. Results:(1) The C 7 nerve, the upper trunk of brachial plexus formed by the C 5 and C 6 nerves and the lower trunk of brachial plexus formed by the C 8 and T 1 nerves could be exposed after neuroendoscopy assisted contralateral C 7 nerve transfer via prespinal route. The distance between the superior margin of midpoint of the clavicle and the distal bifurcation of the C 7 nerve is (2.20±0.11) cm, and its distance to the superior trunk of the proximal brachial plexus is (2.62±0.10) cm, and its distance to the inforior trunk of the proximal brachial plexus nerve is (2.72±0.11) cm. The distance between the superior margin of midpoint of the clavicle and the proximal C 7 nerve (at the exit of the intervertebral foramen) is (7.22±0.15) cm, its distance to the proximal C 6 nerve (at the exit of the intervertebral foramen) is (7.84±0.12) cm, and its distance to the proximal C 8 nerve (at the exit of the intervertebral foramen) is (6.96±0.12) cm. (2) The patient with central upper limb spastic paralysis accepted neuroendoscopy assisted contralateral C 7 nerve transfer via prespinal route successfully, with surgical time lasting for 2 h and bleeding amount of 20 mL. After surgery, the incision healed well, and the patient experienced pain and numbness in the healthy side of the upper limb with subsided symptoms one month after surgery. The spasticity symptoms of the affected upper limb obviously improved after surgery with decreased muscle tone. Follow-up after discharge was performed for 14 months, and the muscle strength of the affected upper limb recovered to level 1 +. Conclusion:Neuroendoscopy assisted contralateral C 7 nerve transfer via prespinal route can expose the proximal and distal C 7 nerves, with minimal invasion; this clinical study has preliminarily confirmed the safety and effectiveness of this transfer via prespinal route in central upper limb spastic paralysis.

Objective:To analyze the operational efficiency of the oncology department in multi-campus hospital, providing reference for rational resource allocation and efficiency enhancement.Methods:A certaion tertiary grade A Hospital is a multi-campus public hospital with integrated management. This study focused on its oncology department, with 9 wards located in different campus as decision-making units. Data from 2020 to 2022 were extracted from the hospital′s medical records management system, disease diagnosis-related groups management system, and hospital information system. The super-efficiency DEA model and Malmquist index model were used to evaluate efficiency variations of the oncology department in different time slots and decision-making units. Identifying input redundancies and output deficiencies in wards not achieving constant returns to scale through projection value analysis. Selecting the total number of medical staff and the actual total number of bed-days occupied as input indicators, while bed utilization rate, discharge rate, and case mix index as output indicators.Results:From 2020 to 2022, the wards with a DEA super-efficiency value greater than 1 were 0, 2, and 4, respectively, showing a gradual increase in overall efficiency. In 2022, wards S3, S4, S7, and S9 achieved constant returns to scale with super-efficiency values of 1.001, 1.005, 1.113, and 1.112, respectively. The other five wards had zero input redundancy, but some suffered from insufficient outputs. For example, wards S5 and S8 should increase their bed utilization rates by 5% and 4%, respectively. Wards S1 and S8 needed to increase their annual discharge numbers by 24% and 1%, respectively, while wards S2 and S6 should increase their annual case mix index by 21% and 20%, respectively. From 2020 to 2021, the Malmquist index of the oncology department was 0.959, while from 2021 to 2022 it rose to 1.030, and the Malmquist index of each ward was greater than 1.Conclusions:By implementing integrated management across multiple campus, the operational efficiency of the oncology department has been comprehensively improved. The use of the super efficient DEA-Malmquist index model to evaluate the operational efficiency of departments has practical significance.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a kind of malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality in the digestive system. The aim of this study is to explore the function of lnc-ABCA12-3 in the development of ESCC and its unique mechanisms. RT-PCR was applied to detect gene transcription levels in tissues or cell lines like TE-1, EC9706, and HEEC cells. Western blot was conducted to identify protein expression levels of mitochondrial apoptosis and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)uclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. CCK-8 and EdU assays were carried out to measure cell proliferation, and cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry. ELISA was used for checking the changes in glycolysis-related indicators.Lnc-ABCA12-3 was highly expressed in ESCC tissues and cells, which preferred it to be a candidate target. The TE-1 and EC9706 cells proliferation and glycolysis were obviously inhibited with the downregulation of lnc-ABCA12-3, while apoptosis was promoted. TLR4 activator could largely reverse the apoptosis acceleration and relieved the proliferation and glycolysis suppression caused by lnc-ABCA12-3 downregulation. Moreover, the effect of lnc-ABCA12-3 on ESCC cells was actualized by activating the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway under the mediation of exosome. Taken together, the lnc-ABCA12-3 could promote the proliferation and glycolysis of ESCC, while repressing its apoptosis probably by regulating the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway under the mediation of exosome.
