Objective:To analyze the clinical application value of a novel magnetic navigation ultrasound (MNU) combined with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) dual-guided percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTCD) through the right hepatic duct for the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice.Methods:Randomized controlled trial. The clinical data of 64 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice requiring PTCD through the right hepatic duct at the Hepatobiliary Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Jiangsu Province People′s Hospital) from December 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The MNU group ( n=32) underwent puncture guided by a novel domestic MNU combined with DSA, and the control group ( n=32) underwent puncture guided by traditional DSA. The operation time, number of punctures, X-ray dose after biliary stenting as shown by DSA, patients' tolerance of the operation, success rate of the operation, pre- and post-operative total bilirubin, and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results:The operation time of the MNU group was significantly shorter than that of the control group [(17.8±7.3) vs. (31.6±9.9) min, t=-6.35, P=0.001]; the number of punctures in the MNU group was significantly lower [(1.7±0.6) vs. (6.3±3.9) times, t=-6.59, P=0.001]; and the X-ray dose after biliary stenting as shown by DSA in the MNU group was lower than that in the control group [(132±88) vs. (746±187) mGy, t=-16.81, P<0.001]; Five patients in the control group were unable to tolerate the operation, and two stopped the operation, however all patients in the MNU group could tolerate the operation, and all completed the operation, with a success rate of 100% (32/32) in the MNU group compared to 93.8%(30/32) in the control group; the common complications of PTCD were biliary bleeding and infection, and the incidence of biliary bleeding (25.0%, 8/32) and infection (18.8%, 6/32) in the MNU group was significantly lower than that in the control group, 53.1% (17/32) and 28.1% (9/32), respectively. Conclusion:Magnetic navigation ultrasound combined with DSA dual-guided PTCD through the right biliary system for the treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice is safe and feasible.

Objective To establish a weightlessness simulation animal model using miniature pigs, leveraging the characteristic of multiple systems’ tissue structures and functions similar to those of humans, and to observe pathophysiological changes, providing a new method for aerospace research. Methods Nine standard-grade miniature pigs were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group (n=7) and a control group (n=2). The experimental group was fixed using customized metal cages, with canvas slings suspending their hind limbs off the ground, and the body positioned at a -20° angle relative to the ground to simulate unloading for 30 days (24 hours a day). Data on body weight, blood volume, and blood biochemistry indicators were collected at different time points for statistical analysis of basic physiological changes. After the experiment, the miniature pigs were euthanized and tissue samples were collected for histopathological observation of the cardiovascular, skeletal and muscle systems HE and Masson staining. Statistical analysis was also conducted on the thickness of arterial vessels and the diameter of skeletal muscle fibers. Additionally, western blotting was employed to detect the expression levels of skeletal muscle atrophy-related proteins, including muscle-specific RING finger protein 1 (MuRf-1) and muscle atrophy F-box (MAFbx, as known as Atrogin-1), while immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an indicator of astrocyte activation in the brain, reflecting the pathophysiological functional changes across systems. Results After hindlimb unloading, the experimental group showed significant decreases in body weight (P<0.001) and blood volume (P<0.01). During the experiment, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell count levels significantly decreased (P<0.05) but gradually recovered. The expression levels of alanine aminotransferase and γ-glutamyltransferase initially decreased (P<0.05) before rebounding, while albumin significantly decreased (P<0.001) and globulin significantly increased (P<0.01). Creatinine significantly decreased (P<0.05). The average diameter of gastrocnemius muscle fibers in the experimental group significantly shortened (P<0.05), with a leftward shift in the distribution of muscle fiber diameters and an increase in small-diameter muscle fibers. Simultaneously, Atrogin-1 expression in the gastrocnemius and paravertebral muscles significantly increased (P<0.05). These changes are generally consistent with the effects of weightlessness on humans and animals in space. Furthermore, degenerative changes were observed in some neurons of the cortical parietal lobe, frontal lobe, and hippocampal regions of the experimental group, with a slight reduction in the number of Purkinje cells in the cerebellar region, and a significant enhancement of GFAP-positive signals in the hippocampal area (P<0.05). Conclusion Miniature pigs subjected to a -20° angle hind limb unloading for 30 days maybe serve as a new animal model for simulating weightlessness, applicable to related aerospace research.

Objective To analyze the current status and influencing factors of occupational burnout among medical staff in Dongguan City. Methods A total of 1 007 medical staff from eight hospitals in Dongguan City were selected as the study subjects using the stratified sampling method. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey and Moral Injury Symptom Scale (Healthcare Professionals Edition) were used to assess occupational burnout and moral injury among these study subjects. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the influencing factors of occupational burnout. Results The detection rate of occupational burnout among the medical staff was 46.2%, and the detection rate of moral injury was 48.1%. The result of binary logistic regression analysis showed that after controlling for confounding factors such as age, marriage status, educational level, religious belief, professional title, and hospital characteristics, male medical staff had a higher risk of occupational burnout than female staff (P<0.01). Medical staff with ≤10 years of work experience had a higher risk of occupational burnout than those with >10 years of work experience(P<0.01). Additionally, medical staff with moral injury had a higher risk of occupational burnout than those without moral injury (P<0.01). Conclusion Occupational burnout is relatively common among medical staff in Dongguan City and is influenced by factors such as gender, working years, moral injury, and others.

Objective :
To evaluate the implementation, application, and problems and suggestions of the Radiation Shield-
ing Requirements in Room of Radiotherapy Installations—Part 1: General Principle (GBZ/T 201.1—2007) through a survey of relevant personnel in radiation health technical service institutions, and to provide a scientific basis for further revision and implementation of this standard.
Methods:
A questionnaire survey was conducted among randomly selected per-
sonnel in radiation health technical services across China, which mainly investigated the awareness, training, application, and
revision suggestions related to the GBZ/T 201.1—2007. The results were aggregated and analyzed.
Results:
A total of 184 evaluation questionnaires on the GBZ/T 201.1—2007 were collected from technical service staff in 25 provinces. Among the
responders, 64.1% thought that the standard had been widely applied; 91.8% thought that the standard could meet work
needs; only 54.3% ever received relevant training on the standard; 68.5% used the standard once or more per year; 33.7% thought that the standard needed to be revised.
Conclusion
The personnel in radiation health technical services have a high
awareness rate of the GBZ/T 201.1—2007 and its contents, but their familiarity with and application of the standard need to
be improved. Relevant departments should strengthen the training and promotion of the standard, and part of the standard should be revised.

Objective:To study the current setup of diagnosis and treatment subjects in China and make reform suggestions in light of existing problems.Methods:Relevant documents on medical institutions′ diagnosis and treatment subjects setup were retrieved from such databases as CNKI, Wanfang and Weipu database, while relevant national policies, laws and regulations were reviewed. On-site visits were conducted to health committees and medical institutions in 7 provinces from June 2020 through December 2020. Seminars and special interviews were held with relevant management personnel and doctors of different positions, for the purpose of learning the current medical institutions′ diagnosis and treatment subjects and their suggestions for reform. Data gained from the above methods were summarized to arrive at reform suggestions for optimizing China′s medical institutions′ diagnosis and treatment subjects, with further improvement made based on expert consultation method.Results:Problems found focus on such areas as inconsistent setup standards for medical treatment subjects, multiple overlapping services, and unclear numbering rules. Based on the disease list and skill list of the DRG system, a novel diagnosis and treatment subject setup method guided by service items could be established. Otherwise, the numbering and categories could changed on the current basis to correct existing problems. The subjects could be divided into such five categories as clinical, oral, traditional Chinese medicine, medical technology, and comprehensive, with level-1 and level-2 subjects set up respectively.Conclusions:In terms of subject functions, the setup of diagnosis and treatment subjects should be regularly adjusted or filed, instead of complete equivalence with administratively licensed subjects. As the current setup of diagnosis and treatment subjects had been in place for years, and had become key references for the department setup and performance appraisal of medical institutions, it was proposed to make adjustment on the current basis for the purpose of correcting existing problems.

Objective:To analyze the setup basis and registration rules of the practice scope of physicians in China, and take into account the current situation of individual provinces, for suggestions on further revision of the practice scope of these physicians.Methods:Relevant documents on practice scope setup were retrieved from such databases as CNKI, Wanfang and Weipu databases, while relevant national policies, laws and regulations were reviewed. On-site visits were conducted to health committees and medical institutions in 7 provinces from June 2020 through December 2020. Seminars and special interviews were held with relevant management personnel and doctors of different positions, for the purpose of learning the current physician practice scope setup and their suggestions for reform. Data gained from the above methods were summarized to arrive at reform suggestions for optimizing China′s practice scope setup, with further improvement made based on expert consultation method.Results:Several setbacks were found in the setup of their practice scope in China, namely as unclear setup principles, generalized setup of the national standards, inconsistent setup standards among the provinces, prohibition of cross-category registration, and roadblocks against in changing scope of practice. As the setup of the practice scope should set free manpower, unleash vitality, and delegate power, the practice scope should be changed to three categories of " discipline" , " discipline+ technology" and " comprehensive" . Physicians should be entitled to register separately as " discipline" and " discipline+ technology" as their practice scope, with " comprehensive" practice scope approved by a simple procedure of a notice.Conclusions:The setup and modification of the practice scope should be in a general rather than detailed manner, and conducive to the development of related disciplines. Such measures should also fully unleash the vitality of Chinese physicians, and take into account of both peacetime and emergencies, and both medical service and prevention.
