ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of emergency management for severe mental disorders in Shanghai, and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for the establishment of a sound emergency management system for severe mental disorders and the enhancement of emergency management capability. MethodsA questionnaire survey and qualitative interviews were used to conduct an investigation into the emergency management in 17 district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai, which includes the basic situation of emergency management for severe mental disorders, the construction of emergency response teams and personnel, emergency preparedness drills and training, emergency management plans and rules and regulations, and problems encountered in emergency management. ResultsIn terms of emergency management mechanism and basic situation, resources such as personnel allocation, security funds and green channel were well equipped in each district-level mental illness prevention and control institution in Shanghai. However, the equipment of some hardware facilities was still insufficient to some extent. Therefore, further improvement on the emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders was needed. With regard to the construction of emergency team and personnel allocation, the majority were those aged between 35‒<45 years old, with a bachelor’s degree, and more than 10 years of working experience. For example, 90.27% staff in district-level mental illness prevention and control institution had a bachelor’s degree or above, which was higher than that among the staff in community-level (73.60%); staff majored in clinical medicine in district-level institution accounted for the proportion at 52.71%, higher than that among the staff in community-level (28.86%); 57.24% staff in district-level institution had an intermediate professional title, higher than that among the staff in community-level (42.28%); and 69.90% staff in district-level institution had more than 10 years of working experience, higher than that among the staff in community-level (43.62%). In the aspect of emergency drills and training, all district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai had a high demand for emergency training, and the weak aspects mainly focused on lack of emergency service protocols, skills of addressing technical challenges, and construction of effectiveness evaluation system. Moreover, the teaching methods were primarily centered on case analysis, simulation drills, interactive discussions, and so forth. Concerning emergency management plans and rules and regulations, all districts in Shanghai had relatively established well-developed systems for emergency response plans, emergency response leadership groups, and emergency response operational task forces for severe mental disorders. About half of the institutions had established other rules and regulations related to emergency management of severe mental disorders in addition to emergency plans. ConclusionShanghai has initially established an emergency management system for severe mental disorders, but it is still fragile in specialized training for emergency management of severe mental disorders, construction of emergency management mechanisms, and the building-up of grassroots emergency teams. Further priorities should include strengthening emergency management training, enhancing the construction of emergency management personnel teams, and gradually establishing a more comprehensive and integrated emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation of the serum levels of aminotransferases and their ratios with liver inflammation activity in pediatric chronic hepatitis B (pCHB) patients, and to provide a basis for selecting the dominant population for treatment. MethodsThis study was conducted among 1 267 pCHB patients who were admitted to The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2010 to August 2022 and these patients did not receive antiviral therapy. The patients were analyzed in terms of demographic features, blood routine, blood biochemistry, HBV serological markers, and liver biopsy data. According to liver inflammation activity based on liver biopsy, the patients were divided into no or mild inflammation activity (G0 — G1) group and significant inflammation activity (G2 — G4) group. The serum levels of aminotransferases and their ratios were compared between groups, and their correlation with liver inflammation activity in pCHB patients was analyzed. Additionally, the patients were stratified by the age, and the relationship between serum aminotransferase levels and liver inflammation activity was analyzed in each age group. For comparison of continuous data between two groups, the independent samples t-test was used when the data were normally distributed, while the Mann-Whitney U test was used when the data were not normally distributed; the chi-square test was employed for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A Spearman’s correlation analysis was performed for correlation assessment. ResultsAmong the 1 267 pCHB patients, there were 468 (36.9%) in the G0 — G1 group and 799 (63.1%) in the G2 — G4 group, and there were significant differences between the two groups in the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), AST/ALT ratio, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, HBeAg quantification, low-density lipoprotein, and platelet count (PLT) (all P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that liver inflammation activity was negatively correlated with PLT and low-density lipoprotein (both P<0.05) and was positively correlated with GGT, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and HBeAg titer (all P<0.05), while it was not significantly correlated with ALT, AST, and AST/ALT ratio (all P>0.05). In the 0 — 12 years group, the 13 — 18 years male group, and the 13 — 18 years female group, liver inflammation activity aggravated with the increases in the serum levels of ALT and AST, and there were significant differences between groups (all P<0.05). In the 0 — 12 years group, there was a significant difference in significant liver inflammation activity between the AST/ALT ratio >1 group and the AST/ALT ratio ≤1 group (P<0.001). Among the 1 267 patients, 447 (35.28%) had an ALT level of <2×upper limit of normal (ULN), among whom 196 (43.85%) had G≥2 liver inflammation, accounting for 15.47% of all children enrolled. ConclusionLiver inflammation activity is not significantly correlated with ALT, AST, and AST/ALT ratio in pCHB patients, suggesting that the serum levels of aminotransferases cannot truly reflect liver inflammation activity in pCHB patients with an aminotransferase level of <2×ULN. In clinical practice, liver biopsy should be performed for children with an aminotransferase level of <2×ULN to clarify whether antiviral therapy should be performed.

OBJECTIVE To provide references for further improving the management level of Chinese herbal pieces covered by the healthcare security drug catalog (hereinafter referred to as “healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces”). METHODS Policy documents related to healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces were retrieved from official websites of National Healthcare Security Administration and medical insurance bureaus of various provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government). Using text analysis, the current management status of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces in various provinces was analyzed from two dimensions: management regulations and catalog formats. RESULTS In terms of the management regulations for healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, some provinces implemented both national and provincial standards for Chinese herbal pieces, while a small number of provinces adopted national standards alongside their own provincial standards. Regarding the payment categories of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, most were classified as category A, though some provinces managed them as category B, and others included both categories A and B or category C. In terms of applicants, there were three kinds: only medical institutions, only herbal piece enterprises, or both medical institutions and herbal piece enterprises being allowed to apply. During the application process, some provinces required preliminary evaluations by local healthcare security departments with recommended lists submitted, while some provinces omitted preliminary evaluations and relied solely on unified evaluation by provincial healthcare security departments. Regarding the methods for catalog formulation and adjustment, there was little variation among the provinces. In terms of the catalog format for healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, some provinces had supplemented the catalog fields based on the national medical insurance catalog. In contrast, some provinces had relatively simple catalogs. Regarding the sorting of the herbal pieces catalog, some catalogs were arranged by the number of Chinese character strokes in the names of the herbal pieces, but most catalogs lacked clear sorting rules. CONCLUSIONS Significant resultshave been achieved in formulating management measures and the catalog of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces. However, there is still a great necessity to develop targeted and adaptable management clauses based on local conditions and the characteristics of Chinese herbal pieces. The content and format of healthcare security drug catalog of Chinese herbal pieces should be improved; in addition, continuous tracking of the latest management policies is also essential to improve the accuracy and operability of formulated catalog.

Objective:To explore the effects of the scaffolding-based flipped classroom approach in the teaching of Infectious Disease Nursing. Methods:We assigned 152 students of nursing and midwifery majors of grade 2018 (experimental group) to be taught using the scaffolding-based flipped classroom approach and 182 students of grade 2017 (control group) to be taught using the traditional lecture method. Teaching effects were evaluated through students' exam performance and a questionnaire survey. Numerical data were analyzed using the χ2 test and t test with the use of SPSS 18.0, and text data were processed using NVivo 11 for thematic analysis. Results:The experimental group and control group showed significant differences in the interim exam score (83.19±7.96 vs. 79.62±3.14, P<0.001) and final exam score (78.47±6.92 vs. 73.16±8.24, P<0.001). The students of grade 2018 had a high level of participation in online learning. The questionnaire results showed that the scaffolding-based flipped classroom was well recognized in terms of students' overall perception, perceived course quality, perceived value of learning, and satisfaction and the open-ended question, with low scores for learner complaints and loyalty. Conclusions:The scaffolding-based flipped classroom is feasible in the teaching of Infectious Disease Nursing, which can improve students' academic performance and overall competence.

OBJECTIVE To prepare berberine/piperine co-loaded self-microemulsion drug delivery system (BBR/PIP- SMEDDS), evaluate its physicochemical properties, in vitro release and pharmacokinetic characteristics. METHODS The drug loading mass ratio of berberine (BBR) and piperine (PIP) in the preparation was determined by the everted intestinal sac method. The oil-phase, emulsifier and co-emulsifier were determined by solubility detection, compatibility evaluation and pseudo-ternary phase diagram, respectively. The formulation of blank self-microemulsion drug delivery system (SMEDDS) was optimized and verified by central composite design-response surface methodology with the amount of oil-phase and the mass ratio of emulsifier to co-emulsifier as factors, and the comprehensive score of particle size and Zeta potential as response value. According to the optimal prescription, BBR/PIP-SMEDDS was prepared by adding excessive BBR and PIP raw materials under magnetic stirring, and its physicochemical properties, in vitro release behavior and pharmacokinetic characteristics in rats were investigated. RESULTS The drug loading mass ratio of BBR and PIP was 1∶1. The optimal prescription included oil-phase (ethyl oleate) accounted for 18.54%, emulsifier (Tween-80) accounted for 52.16%, and co-emulsifier (polyethylene glycol 400) accounted for 29.30%. Three verification experiments showed that the average particle size of blank SMEDDS was (16.49±0.49) nm; the Zeta potential was (-16.22±0.77) mV; the comprehensive score was 0.97, the relative deviation of which from the predicted value (0.95) was 2.11%. The prepared BBR/PIP-SMEDDS was an oil-in-water microemulsion, which was a golden yellow oily liquid with a spherical shape. The average particle size was (32.90±0.38) nm, and the Zeta potential was (-19.17±0.70) mV. The encapsulation efficiency of BBR was (90.44±0.88)% , and the drug loading was (10.18±0.17) mg/g. The encapsulation efficiency of PIP was (87.48±1.13)%, and the drug loading was (9.41±0.17) mg/g. BBR/PIP-SMEDDS had good stability at low temperature (4 ℃ ) in the dark, centri-fugation and dilution. The results of in vitro release showed that the cumulative release percentage of BBR in simulated intestinal fluid for 24 h was significantly higher than that of the raw drug after the preparation of SMEDDS. The pharmacokinetic results in rats showed that the peak concentration and area under the drug- concentration time curve (AUC0-)t of BBR/PIP-SMEDDS were 4.61 and 7.07 times higher than those of the raw drug respectively, and the relative bioavailability was 707.484%. CONCLUSIONS BBR/PIP-SMEDDS is successfully prepared, and the in vitro release and bioavailability of the preparation are greatly improved compared with the raw material.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status of liver function abnormalities in patients with severe mental disorder (SMD) in Shanghai community, to explore the related factors to abnormal liver function in patients with SMD, and to analyze the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on liver function abnormalities. MethodsThe patients with SMD in Jinshan District, Minhang District, Hongkou District and Xuhui District of Shanghai were selected as the research subjects. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests were conducted to obtain their demographic characteristics and liver function indicators such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TBil). The types of mental disorders and medication status of patients in Jinshan District were also investigated. Abnormalities in liver function were determined by abnormalities in either ALT or TBil. Binary logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis of the status of abnormal liver function, and the effects of mental disorder types and medication status on liver function were analyzed, simultaneously. ResultsA total of 7 251 patients with SMD were finally included into this study, and the rate of liver function abnormality was 22.7%, of which 694 cases (9.6%) had ALT abnormality and 1 084 cases (14.9%) had TBil abnormality. Univariate analysis showed that the rate of liver function abnormalities was higher in males than that in females (χ2=45.026, P<0.001), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (χ2=25.317, P<0.001), higher in those with higher BMI than in those with lower BMI (χ2=63.748, P<0.001), higher in those with elevated blood pressure (BP) than in those without elevated BP (χ2=24.774, P<0.001), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (χ2=43.345, P<0.001), higher in those with abnormal triglyceride (TG) than in those with normal TG (χ2=15.551,P<0.001), and higher in those with abnormal total cholesterol (TC) than in those with normal TC (χ2=10.962, P=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the rate of abnormal liver function was higher in males than that in females (OR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.73), higher in suburbs than that in urban areas (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.21‒1.70), higher in those with overweight than in those with normal BMI (OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.01‒1.33), higher in those with obesity than in those with those with normal BMI (OR=1.61, 95%CI: 1.36‒1.91), higher in those with elevated blood glucose than in those without elevated blood glucose (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.23‒1.58), and higher in those with abnormal TC than in those with normal TC (OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.13‒1.65).The difference in the rate of ALT abnormalities among the SMD patients in Jinshan District with different medication status was statistically significant (χ2=21.928, P<0.001). Whereas, the differences in the effects of the types of mental disorders and medication status on the status of liver function abnormalities were not statistically significant(P>0.05). ConclusionThe detection rate of liver function abnormalities in community-based SMD patients in Shanghai is high, and male, suburban, and accompanied by elevated BMI, BP, blood glucose, and TC are risk factors for liver function abnormalities in patients with SMD. Primary healthcare providers should pay more attention to the liver function of patients with SMD and initiate targeted and tailored prevention, detection and treatment measures.
