Comprehensively improving the new efficiency of high-quality development of public hospitals is the key top-level design for deepening the reform of public hospitals during the"14th Five-Year Plan"period.In view of the changes in the macro environment faced by public hospitals in recent years,such as the cancellation of the addi-tion of pharmaceutical consumables and the deep promotion of the reform of payment methods,as well as the out-standing problems existing at the micro level of public hospital operation,such as the separation of diagnosis and treatment business from economic operation activities,extensive decision-making methods,unreasonable alloca-tion of resources and urgent optimization of processes.By referring to relevant theories such as value management theory,a new"trinity"public hospital lean operation management model based on"integration of industry and fi-nance,lean operation and evidence-based decision-making"is explored and constructed.It breaks the relatively parallel operation barriers of clinical diagnosis and treatment business and economic operation management,innovates a new method of linear staff management with the integration of industry and finance,gives full play to the role of experts in governing hospitals,and integrates the professional committee system driven by"technology+manage-men"into the hospital decision-making staff system to provide data evidence-based basis for assisting the hospital leadership to make scientific decisions.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of natural foci of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Gansu Province.Methods:The information of HFRS case data and rodent density monitoring data from 2012 to 2022 in Gansu Province were collected and epidemiological methods were used to analyze and investigate the characteristics of the epidemic focus.Results:A total of 869 cases of HFRS were reported, and four patients died from 2012 to 2022. The annual incidence rate is between 0.05 per 100 000 and 1.21 per 100 000. The cases were mainly distributed in the eastern, southeast, southern, and south of the central region of Gansu Province. Most cases were distributed between age 20-60, and the sex ratio was 1.85∶1 (564∶305). Most cases were farmers (61.80%, 537/869), herdsmen (19.79%,172/869) and students (6.33%, 55/869). In a wild rat-type epidemic focus,the incidence peak was from November to January of the following year. The natural rodent hosts of HFRS were Rattus norvegicus, Apodemus agrarius, and Mus musculus. The hantaan virus carriage rates were 2.79% (21/754), 0.42% (5/1 179) and 0.31% (2/643),respectively. Three epidemic foci were defined: two derived from the Pingliang and Gannan prefecture new outbreaks epidemic foci, respectively, while the other was the residue of the Dingxi epidemic focus. Conclusions:The southern, south of the central region and eastern part of Gansu Province are current key HFRS epidemic foci dominated by Rattus norvegicus, Apodemus agrarius, and Mus musculus, respectively. The virus genotype is hantaan virus. Case reporting areas should strengthen epidemic monitoring; the key epidemic areas should strengthen and implement various prevention and control measures to reduce the harm caused by HFRS.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of hospice self-efficacy among clinical nurses between sense of life meaning and hospice behavior, in order to provide references for nursing managers to formulate strategies to improve clinical nurses′ hospice behavior.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey study. The clinical nurses were selected from 8 tertiary hospitals in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region by convenience sampling method from July to November in 2023. General data survey scale, The Meaning in Life Questionnaire, End-of-life Care Self-efficacy Scale and Hospice Behavior Scale were used to investigate. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between variables, and AMOS 24.0 software was used to analyze the mediating effect of hospice self-efficacy on nurses′ sense of meaning of life and hospice behavior.Results:The effective response rate of the questionnaire was 89.82%(988/1 100). There were 41 males and 947 females, aged (32.95 ± 5.61) years old. The scores of sense of life meaning, end-stage hospice self-efficacy and hospice behavior of clinical nurses were (45.18 ± 7.90), (49.62 ± 10.93), (123.42 ± 28.55) points, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the sense of life meaning, hospice behavior and end-stage hospice self-efficacy of clinical nurses were correlated ( r values were 0.263-0.932, all P<0.01). The terminal hospice self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect between clinical nurses′ sense of life meaning and hospice behavior.The total effect of the sense of life meaning on clinical nurses′ hospice care behavior was 0.435, in which the direct effect was 0.246, accounting for 56.55% of the total effect, the indirect effect was 0.190, accounting for 43.45% of the total effect. Conclusions:End-stage hospice self-efficacy of clinical nurses is the mediating variable between sense of life meaning and hospice behavior. Managers can improve hospice behavior by cultivating end-stage hospice self-efficacy of clinical nurses.

Objective:To explore the effects of computer-navigated surgery and traditional surgery on the functional and oncological outcomes of pelvic chondrosarcoma.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 136 cases of pelvic chondrosarcoma surgically treated at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2000 to December 2017. There were 65 males and 71 females with an average age of 46.07±13.37 years (range 13-73 years). There were 120 primary cases and 16 secondary cases, of which 109 cases were ordinary chondrosarcoma (7 cases with pathological differentiation grade I, 83 cases with grade II. There were 109 cases of common type chondrosarcoma (7 cases of pathological differentiation grade I, 83 cases of grade II, 19 cases of grade III), 21 cases of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma, 3 cases of mesenchymal type, 2 cases of clear cell type, 1 case of mucinous type; 12 cases of malignant degeneration of multilocular chondrosarcoma of bone; 104 cases of Enneking staging stage IB, 32 cases of stage IIB. According to the pelvis zone classification, there were 14 cases of pelvic zone I, 1 case of zone II, 13 cases of zone III, 16 cases of zone I+II, 16 cases of zone I+IV, 47 cases of zone II+III, 25 cases of zone I+II+III, 25 cases of zone I+II+III, 4 cases of zone I + II + III + IV. All cases were classified as intracapsular, marginal, or wide resection according to the resection boundary classification. There were 45 cases in computer-navigated surgery (navigated group) and 91 cases in non-navigated surgery group. The demographic data, preoperative tumor staging, surgical characteristics, surgical boundary classification, oncological indexes, reconstruction methods, postoperative complications, and bone and soft tissue tumor function score (Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score, MSTS) were compared between the two groups.Results:No surgical complications related to the computerized navigation system occurred in the navigation group. The postoperative follow-up time was 68.56±37.82 months (range 6-197 months) and 76.85±52.60 months (range 5-225 months) for the navigation and non-navigation groups, respectively. The MSTS was 25.43±2.85 and 24.56±4.19 points in the navigation and non-navigation groups, respectively, with no significant difference ( t=1.191, P=0.237). There were 10 cases of marginal resection and 35 cases of wide resection in the navigation group, and 12 cases of intracapsular resection, 32 cases of marginal resection and 47 cases of wide resection in the non-navigation group with significant difference (χ 2=10.977, P=0.004). There were 4 cases (8.9%, 4/45) of local recurrence after surgery in the navigation group and 20 cases (21.9%, 20/91) in the non-navigation group, with significant difference (χ 2=4.040, P=0.046). There were 2 cases of final amputation and 2 cases of re-excision with recurrence in the navigation group and 6 cases of final amputation and 14 cases of re-excision in the non-navigation group. Distant metastases occurred in 3 cases (7%, 3/45) in the navigation group and 18 cases (20%, 18/91) in the non-navigation group wtih significant difference (χ 2=4.478, P=0.034). The five-year postoperative survival rates of the navigation and non-navigation groups were 93.3% and 72.6%, and the three- and five-year progression-free survival rates were 91.1% and 84.4% and 74.8% and 62.7%, respectively, with significant differences (χ 2=5.081, P=0.024; χ 2=6.800, P=0.009). The five-year survival rate of stage IB tumors was 96.7% in the navigation group and 84.5% in the non-navigation group with significant difference (χ 2=3.897, P=0.048); the five-year survival rate of stage IIB tumors was 75.0% in the navigation group and 35.0% in the non-navigation group with no significant difference ( P>0.05). Postoperative complications included 15 cases of postoperative infection, 16 cases of deep vein thrombosis, 14 cases of double lower limb inequality, 2 cases of prosthesis dislocation, 2 cases of lymphedema, 1 case of hernia and 1 case of allograft bone resorption. There was no significant difference of complication rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Computer navigation-assisted resection of pelvic chondrosarcoma was better in obtaining a safe surgical border of the tumor compared with traditional surgery, reducing the rate of local recurrence of the tumor and thus effectively improved the survival and prognosis of patients.

Objectives:To investigate the value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in the diagnosis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:The data of 98 patients with suspected pulmonary infection after allo-HSCT who underwent pathogen detection from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid between June 2016 and August 2023 at Nanfang Hospital were analyzed. The diagnostic performance of mNGS, conventional methods, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for PJP were compared.Results:A total of 12 patients were diagnosed with PJP, including 11 with a proven diagnosis and 1 with a probable diagnosis. Among the patients with a proven diagnosis, 1 was positive by both conventional methods and qPCR, and 10 were positive by qPCR only. Pneumocystis jirovecii was detected by mNGS in all 12 patients. The diagnostic sensitivity of mNGS for PJP was 100%, which was greater than that of conventional methods (8.3%, P=0.001) and similar to that of qPCR (91.6%, P=1.000) . A total of 75% of the patients developed mixed pulmonary infections, and cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus were the most common pathogens. Mixed infection was detected in eight patients by mNGS and in five patients by qPCR, but not by conventional methods ( P=0.008) . Conclusions:mNGS had good sensitivity for diagnosing PJP after allo-HSCT and was advantageous for detecting mixed infectious pathogens; therefore, mNGS might be an effective supplement to regular detection methods and qPCR.

A novel structural dynamics test method and device were designed to test the biomechanical effects of dynamic axial loading on knee cartilage and meniscus. Firstly, the maximum acceleration signal-to-noise ratio of the experimental device was calculated by applying axial dynamic load to the experimental device under unloaded condition with different force hammers. Then the experimental samples were divided into non-specimen group (no specimen loaded), sham specimen group (loaded with polypropylene samples) and bovine knee joint specimen group (loaded with bovine knee joint samples) for testing. The test results show that the experimental device and method can provide stable axial dynamic load, and the experimental results have good repeatability. The final results confirm that the dynamic characteristics of experimental samples can be distinguished effectively by this device. The experimental method proposed in this study provides a new way to further study the biomechanical mechanism of knee joint structural response under axial dynamic load.

Objective:To explore the value of jellyfish sign, an abnormal ultrasonographic sign, in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes of women with complete placenta previa combined with placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS).Methods:This retrospective study analyzed the ultrasound images of 72 singleton gravidas, diagnosed with complete placenta previa combined with PAS, who underwent cesarean section at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2020 and February 2023. Based on the presence and absence of the jellyfish sign in ultrasound images, these gravidas were divided into the jellyfish-sign group (15 cases, 20.8%) and the non-jellyfish-sign group (57 cases, 79.2%). The clinical data and perinatal outcomes of the two groups were analyzed. The adverse perinatal outcomes encompassed conditions such as abdominal aorta balloon block, uterine artery embolism, hysterectomy, postpartum hemorrhage, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission of their neonates. Statistical analysis was performed using two independent samples t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test and the Chi-square (or Fisher's exact) test. Results:(1) The jellyfish-sign group exhibited a higher parity [(1.6±0.7) times vs (1.2±0.6) times, t=2.01] and higher prenatal scores of placenta accreta [(12.3±1.5) scores vs (8.6±2.9) scores, t=6.59] than those in the non-jellyfish-sign group (both P<0.05). Among the 57 cases in the non-jellyfish-sign group, there were 14 cases of placenta creta (24.6%), 40 cases of placenta increta (70.2%), and three cases of placenta percreta (5.3%). Among the 15 cases in the jellyfish-sign group, nine cases were diagnosed with placenta increta, six with placenta percreta, and none with placenta creta. The difference in distribution between the two groups was statistically significant (Fisher's exact test, P<0.001). (2) Intraoperative blood loss [(for those who accepted abdominal aorta balloon block, 1 973±1 057) ml vs (1 211±576) ml, t=2.55], red blood cells transfused [4.0 U (2.0-23.0 U) vs 2.5 U (0.0-11.0 U), Z=－2.53], postoperative hospitalization time [(9.7±2.4) vs (7.5±2.2) d, t=3.36], the incidence of abdominal aorta balloon block [15/15 vs 38.6% (22/57), χ2=17.92], uterine artery embolism [for those who accepted abdominal aorta balloon block, 3/15 vs 1.8% (1/57), Fisher's exact test], and requiring blood transfusion [15/15 vs 63.2% (36/57), Fisher's exact test] were higher in the jellyfish-sign group than those in the non-jellyfish-sign group. However, the non-jellyfish-sign group had lower gestational age at delivery [(33.6±1.5) weeks vs (35.2±1.8) weeks, t=－3.24], and lower neonatal Apgar score at 1 min and 5 min [1 min: 8 scores (3-10 scores) vs 9 scores (4-10 scores), Z=－2.46; 5 min: 9 scores (7-10 scores) vs 10 scores (6-10 scores), Z=－2.02] (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in emergency surgery rate, 24 h postoperative blood loss, neonatal birth weight, and proportion of NICU admission between the two groups. Additionally, no cases of hysterectomy or death were observed in the two groups. Conclusions:Ultrasound examination revealing jellyfish signs in patients with complete placenta previa and PAS is associated with an increased likelihood of adverse perinatal outcomes. Consequently, the management of these patients should be given greater attention.

OBJECTIVE To establish a database of rational drug use for children in our hospital， and to provide reference for ensuring the safety of drug use in children. METHODS The construction and filling of the knowledge base of rational drug use for children were performed by establishing the basic structure of the knowledge base， formulating reference standards for the quality level of pediatric medication evidence， and refining evidence-based evidence of pediatric medication. The rule base of rational drug use for children was designed and built from four aspects： preliminary determination rules for patient information， basic drug information rules， prescription suitability review rules， result labeling and post-processing rules. The database was embedded into prescription review system of our hospital and was applied online to test its effectiveness. RESULTS A set of database containing 672 commonly used pediatric medicines and more than 15 000 rules for rational drug use for children was initially constructed. The average interception rate of unreasonable medical orders for hospitalized children after database application（from December 2021 to May 2022）was 2.03%， and was higher than 0.80% before database application（from June 2021 to November 2021）（χ 2＝5 784.389， P＜0.001）； after post-sampling and prescription review， the average qualified rate of medication orders in discharged medical records for children after the application of the database was 99.10%， and was higher than 94.58% before the application of the database （χ 2＝301.237， P＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS Self-constructed evidence-based rational drug use database for children is close to the actual clinical needs of pediatrics in medical institutions， which can effectively reduce clinical irrational drug use behaviors in pediatrics， improve the pass rate of prescriptions， and ensure the safety of children’s drug use.
