Objective To analyse the health human resource allocation of all tertiary maternal and child healthcare(MCH)hospitals from 2015 to 2022 in China,and to propose basis for further strengthening the talent team construction and management of MCH hospitals.Methods Data were collected through the national MCH institution monitoring system to provide a descriptive analysis of the health human resources of all tertiary MCH hospitals in China.Results From 2015 to 2022,the number of health technicians in tertiary MCH hospitals increased with an average annual growth rate of 10.2%;The proportions of highly educated and professional health technicians increased year by year;The proportion of tertiary MCH hospitals with qualified health technicians has increased to 93.8%;The ratio of doctors to nurses has exceeded 1:1.4.Conclusion The allocation of health human resources in the tertiary MCH hospitals in China shows a good upward trend,which lays a foundation for improving the overall service level and service capacity of MHC hospitals.

Objective:To acquire the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the operation of tertiary maternal and child health(MCH) hospitals in China, for decision making support of health administrative departments and hospital managers.Methods:The National Maternal and Child Health Institutions Resources and Operations Survey Direct Reporting System was used to collect the resource allocation, workload, treatment quality, work efficiency and asset operation of the tertiary MCH hospitals in China in 2019(pre pandemic) and 2020(during pandemic). Statistical descriptions were made using median.Results:In 2019 and 2020, the number of tertiary MCH hospitals in China was 236 and 258, respectively, and their relevant data were analyzed. In terms of resource allocation, the number of health technicians in 2019 and 2020 was 560 and 548, respectively, and the actual number of available beds was 308 and 305 respectively. In terms of workload, the annual outpatient visits in 2020 were 337 990, a decrease of 23.6%from that in 2019; The total number of emergency visits was 28 997, a decrease of 32.5%; The total number of discharged patients was 13 673, a decrease by 20.5%; A total of 4 723 training sessions on MCH were held for primary institutions, an increase of 1.2 percent. A total of 1 953 724 primary-level health technicians were trained, an increase of 175.2 percent. In terms of work efficiency, the average length of hospital stay of discharged patients decreased from 5.56 days in 2019 to 5.00 days in 2020. Bed utilization rate decreased from 88.90% to 69.15%; Bed turnover decreased from 53.69 to 44.22. In terms of treatment quality, the critical illness mortality rate of inpatients was 0.37% in 2020, 0.11% lower than that in 2019. The in-hospital mortality rate for neonatal patients was 0.04%, a 0.03% drop. In terms of asset operation, the total revenue in 2020 was 248.355 million yuan, an increase of 4.46% compared with 2019, in which the proportion of financial subsidies increased from 11.26% to 15.72%.Conclusions:The in-hospital services and institutional health care services of tertiary MCH hospitals in China were downsized by the COVID-19 pandemic, while the work efficiency was relatively stable, along with acceptable resource allocation, good treatment quality and asset operation.

Objective:To analyze the status of secondary maternal and child health hospital accreditation in China and the impact of such accreditation on their service improvement.Methods:The paper used the propensity score matching method to match the accreditation group and the non-accreditation group in 1∶1 ratio, and compared the related indicators of service capability of maternal and child health hospitals between the two groups by non-parametric test and Chi-square test.Results:A total of 842 maternal and child health care hospitals were matched. A comparison was made between the accreditation group and the non-accreditation group, and the differences of the following indicators of individual services within the hospital were statistically significant( P<0.01). These indicators were annual emergency attendance, the number of types of health services for women and children, the utilization rate of beds, the average daily hospital bed of each practicing physician; the following indicators of service management within their coverage were statistically significant: namely the proportion of institutions carrying out health education evaluation within their coverage, that of institutions producing uniform " Mother and Child Health Handbook", that of institutions carrying out information quality control, as well as analysis and utilization.These indicators of the accreditation group were higher than those in the non-accreditation group( P<0.01). Conclusions:Given the role played by maternal and child health institution accreditation in promoting secondary maternal and child health hospital regarding better service content, quantity, efficiency and the quality of business management within their coverage, there is still room for improvement.

Objective:To study the technical and essential steps in laparoscopic selective devascularization with paraesophageal veins-preservation.Methods:To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 13 cirrhotic patients who underwent laparoscopic selective pericardial devascularization for portal hypertension at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to March 2020. There were 9 males and 4 females with age ranging from 41 to 83 years (median 51 years). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications and follow-up data were analyzed.Results:All the 13 patients completed theoperation, no patient stopped the operation or transferred to laparotomy. The operation time was (170±32) min.The intraoperative bleeding was (160±30) ml. The postoperative hospital stay was (6.1±1.1) days. There were no complications, including pancreatic leakage and intra-abdominal infection. On follow-up which ranged from 1 to 15 months, one patient developed portal vein thrombosis, no upper gastrointestinal rebleeding.Conclusions:Preservation of esophageal veins in laparoscopic selective devascularization is an accurate surgery which requires close teamwork and rich experience in laparoscopic surgery. The preservation of the main trunk of the gastric coronary vein and integrity of the esophageal veins are the keys to the surgery which is safe and feasible.

Objective:To study the causes of hemorrhage after laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) and to develop countermeasures in its prevention.Methods:The clinical data of 215 patients who underwent LPD at the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from December 2013 to May 2020 were reviewed. The patients’ clinical data including gender, age, comorbidities and postoperative complications such as bleeding, pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula and intraperitoneal infection were studied, with the aims to analyze the causes, clinical manifestations and treatment results of post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage (PPH) after LPD.Results:Of 215 patients, there were 132 males and 83 females, aged (60.7±10.3) years. PPH occurred in 20 patients, incidence rate was 9.30%(20/215). Early hemorrhage was mainly caused by inadequate hemostasis or loosening of vascular clips, while delayed hemorrhage was mainly caused by gastrointestinal fistula with vascular erosion, arterial injury by intraoperative energy instruments or pseudoaneurysms. Among the 20 patients, 6 patients had early hemorrhage and 14 delayed hemorrhage. There was 1 patient with grade A, 10 with grade B and 9 with grade C hemorrhage. Thirteen patients developed pancreatic fistula, 1 biliary fistula, and 2 intraperitoneal infection. One patient responded well to conservative treatment. Hemostasis was successfully achieved by gastroscopy ( n=1) and interventional therapy ( n=7). Eleven patients required laparotomy for hemostasis. In this study, 14 of 20 patients survivied PPH and 6 patients died. The mortality rate was 30% (6 of 20 patients with PPH). Conclusions:Early hemorrhage was caused by inadequate hemostasis or loosening vascular clips, while delayed hemorrhage was related to gastrointestinal fistula with vascular erosion, arterial injury by intraoperative energy instrument or pseudoaneurysm. Careful hemostasis, adequate protection of blood vessels, and accurate anastomosis should be performed in LPD. DSA angiography should be used for arterial hemorrhage which progressed very rapidly. Interventional therapy including embolism and stenting were means to control arterial bleeding in PPH. Decisive surgical exploration when interventional therapy failed was important in reducing the mortality rate of these patients.

Objective: To acquire the main result quality indicators status of tertiary maternal and child health(MCH) hospitals in China, supporting the decision making. Methods: The National Maternal and Child Health Institutions Resources and Operations Survey Direct Reporting System was used to collect the management operation, inpatient death, re-return, hospital-acquired infection, surgical complications and patient safety of these hospitals in China in 2017. Statistical descriptions were made using average, rate and composition comparison data. Results: The proportion of health technicians of tertiary MCH hospitals in China was 83.66%, the average hospitalization days were 5.96 days, with bed occupancy rate of 90.01%. The success rate of neonatal resuscitation was high. Meanwhile, the mortality rate of hospitalized maternal critical illness, the total hospitalization mortality rate of neonatal patients, the incidence of complications in surgical patients, the incidence of neonatal injury and the incidence of birth injury in vaginal delivery were higher in the institutions that had not participated in the MCH hospital accreditation. Conclusions The management of tertiary MCH hospitals in China was in good condition, and the relevant policies and projects have achieved remarkable results. Compared with general hospitals, hospital infection and re-return indicators were good. The quality and safety of tertiary MCH hospitals which have not participated in the MCH hospital assessment were poor. It is recommended to carry out MCH hospital accreditation to improve quality and safety.

Objective: To understand the current status of follow up of people living with HIV/AIDS by health service at grass root in rural area of Jiangxi province and related factors, and provide references for the promotion of the follow up by grass root health service. Methods: People living HIV/AIDS aged ≥18 years and diagnosed before 31 December 2017 in 6 townships of Xinjian, Yushan counties and Guixi city were included in the study in Jiangxi province. They had been followed up for more than one time after the first epidemiologic survey. The information about their demographic characteristics and HIV infection status were collected by using self-designed questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors that influencing the acceptance of follow up by grass root health service. Results: Of the 373 surveyed HIV infected subjects aged (53.06±16.15) years, 261 were males (70.0%, 261/373). Among the surveyed subjects, the illiteracy and people who received only primary school education accounted for 54.7% (204/373). The rate of follow up of the HIV infected subjects by grass root health service was 55.8% (208/373), and those through heterosexual contact were 58.5% (190/325). The multivariate regression analysis showed that the acceptance of follow up by grass root health service was higher in those who were farmers (OR=7.36, 95%CI: 2.52-21.45), had family support (OR=16.01, 95%CI: 2.25-49.73), didn’t worry about discrimination (OR=12.97, 95%CI: 4.75-35.42), trusted health care provider (OR=5.07, 95%CI: 2.19-11.76) and showed AIDS symptoms (OR=10.58, 95%CI: 2.25- 49.73). Conclusions The performance of follow up of people living with HIV/AIDS by grass root health service was well, suggesting it is a feasible management model. Being famer or not, family member supporting or not, worry about discrimination or not, trusting health care provider or not and showing AIDS symptoms or not were the main factors influencing the acceptance of follow up by grass root health service.

Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic hepatectomy combined with radiofrequency ablation for primary liver cancer difficult to manage.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 16 patients who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy combined with radiofrequency ablation in the Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from Apr 2015 to Dec 2017.Results 2 more tumors were found by intraoperative laparoscopic ultrasound.All patients underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy combined with radiofrequency ablation successfully.There were 2 laparoscopic left hepatectomy combined with radiofrequency ablation,2 laparoscopic right hepatectomy combined with radiofrequency ablation,6 laparoscopic left lateral lobectomy combined with radiofrequency ablation,4 laparoscopic right postrior lobectomy combined with radiofrequency ablation and 2 irregular laparoscopic hepatectomy combined with radiofrequency ablation.The intraoperative blood loss ranged from 100-800 ml.The average operative time was (283 ± 112) min.The length of postoperative hospital stay ranged from 5 to 12 days.The tumor-free survival rate after operation is 100％ (16/16) on 6 to 38 months follow up.Conclusion It is safe and feasible to carry out laparoscopic hepatectomy combined with radiofrequency ablation in difficult to manage primary liver cancer.

This paper analyzed the articles from the journal of Chinese Medical Ethics published for 30 years. The results showed that the development of medical ethics in China can be divided into four stages, the incubation period, the slow growth period, the rapid growth period and the stable period;regional distribution was affected by economic development, and the development of medical ethics was also relatively backward in areas where econom-ic development was relatively backward;the number of columns was increasing year by year, the classification tend to be refined, the proportion of each column was fluctuating with the change of the social hotspot, and in recent years, the doctor -patient relationship and medical management and system construction had received more and more attention;and the paper cooperation degree need to be improved, the number of quotations and cited quota-tions steadily improved, and the quality of the paper was improved. Therefore, the government should strengthen policy guidance and standardize the development of medical ethics; the academic level should focus on regional differences and promote academic communication and disciplinary development; and on the individual level, the new medical ethics problem should be concerned, and the research on the hotspots of medical ethics should be car-ried out.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms during pregnancy among women from six districts of China and to explore the determinants of anxiety and depression during pregnancy. Methods: A cross-sectional study of maternal health status was conducted using the probability proportionate to size sampling method among pregnant women from six counties/districts in six provinces of China (Hebei, Liaoning, Fujian, Hunan, Sichuan and Yunnan). A questionnaire was completed by each of the women included in the study from August to December 2014. Women were recruited from three medical and health institutions with the most obstetrics patients in each district. A total of 4 210 pregnant women were included in the investigation. The hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scale was applied to measure the symptoms of anxiety and depression in the pregnant women. Trend chi square test was used to assess the differences of anxiety and depression symptom among three trimesters. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to investigate potential contributory factors. Results: The detection rates for anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms during pregnancy were 8.5% (357/4 210) and 12.5% (525/4 210), respectively. The prevalence of anxiety symptoms during the first, second and third trimesters were 7.9% (110/1 392), 8.8% (124/1 413) and 8.8% (123/1 405), respectively (χ^2trend=0.89, P= 0.419). The prevalence of depression symptoms during the first, second and third trimesters were 14.0% (195/1 392), 12.6% (178/1 413) and 10.8% (152/1 405), respectively (χ² _trend=6.52, P=0.011). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed an increased risk of anxiety and depression in women with an educational background of middle school rather than a college degree (OR=1.94, 95% CI: 1.44-2.63; OR=3.80, 95% CI: 2.45- 5.91). Furthermore, compared with planned pregnancies, women with unplanned pregnancies had a higher risk of anxiety and depression (OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.06- 1.66; OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.07- 1.71). Pregnant women who felt they lived in crowded residential conditions were at an increased risk of anxiety compared with those living in spacious residential environments (OR=1.82, 95% CI: 1.15- 2.87). Pregnant women with a household income of less than 10 000 yuan were at a higher risk of depression than living in a household with an income of ≥100 000 yuan (OR=1.91, 95% CI: 1.05-3.49). Similarly, multiparous women (≥2) were at higher risk of depression compared with nulliparous women (OR=1.88, 95% CI: 1.04- 3.41). Conclusion The prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms during pregnancy appears to be associated with several demographic factors, along with a women's obstetrical history. Lower educational background, unplanned pregnancy, the feeling of living under crowded residential conditions were all found to be risk factors for anxiety during pregnancy. Similarly, lower educational background, unplanned pregnancy, a lower household income (<10 000) and a greater number of previous deliveries were all risk factors for depression during pregnancy.
