Objective To describe and analyze the current situation of the four same type of departments in an hospital in order to provide a reference for the construction of"the most cost-effective medical care".Methods The CN-DRG were used to automatically group and compare the medical capacity and inpatient service efficiency of the hospital department groups,and in the refined analysis,one DRG disease group of in situ cancer and non-malignant disease loss uterine surgery and single species uterine fibroid was included,and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to further compare the differences in length of stay and various costs.Results It included a total of 22630 patients,whose weights varied from a maximum of 3948.62 in diagnostic group 1 to a minimum of 133.55 in diagnostic group 11.The cost consumption indexes ranged from a minimum of 0.89 in diagnostic group 5 to a maximum of 1.04 in diagnostic group 2,while the time consumption indexes ranged from a minimum of 0.48 in diagnostic group 11 to a maximum of 0.81 in diagnostic group 5.When comparing the diagnostic groups,there were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)in hospitalization days,total cost,diagnostic cost,therapeutic cost,and cost of supplies.Specifically,when comparing the diagnostic and treatment groups within departments,the differences in hospitalization days and all costs were statistically significant(P＜0.05)in departments 1 and 2,the differences in diagnostic cost,therapeutic cost,and cost of supplies were statistically significant(P＜0.05)in department 3.Conclusion There exists a notable disparity in the extent to which each diagnostic and treatment group contributes to the hospital's service capacity and cost variability.Consequently,it is necessary to reasonably evaluate the length of hospital stay and medical cost of patients to achieve the highest cost-effective medical treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinicopathological features, molecular changes and prognostic factors in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). METHODS: Sixty-one cases AITL diagnosed by Department of Pathology of Peking University Cancer Hospital were collected with their clinical data. Morphologically, they were classified as typeⅠ[lymphoid tissue reactive hyperplasia (LRH) like]; typeⅡ[marginal zone lymphoma(MZL)like] and type Ⅲ [peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not specified (PTCL-NOS) like]. Immunohistochemical staining was used to evaluate the presence of follicular helper T-cell (TFH) phenotype, proliferation of extra germinal center (GC) follicular dendritic cells (FDCs), presence of Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS)-like cells and large B transformation. The density of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) + cells was counted with slides stained by Epstein-Barr virus encoded RNA (EBER) in situ hybridization on high power field (HPF). T-cell receptor / immunoglobulin gene (TCR/IG) clonality and targeted exome sequencing (TES) test were performed when necessary. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Morphological subtype (%): 11.4% (7/61) cases were classified as type Ⅰ; 50.8% (31/61) as type Ⅱ; 37.8% (23/61) as type Ⅲ. 83.6% (51/61) cases showed classical TFH immunophenotype. With variable extra-GC FDC meshwork proliferation (median 20.0%); 23.0% (14/61) had HRS-like cells; 11.5% (7/61) with large B transformation. 42.6% (26/61) of cases with high counts of EBV. 57.9% (11/19) TCR⁺/IG^-, 26.3% (5/19) TCR⁺/IG⁺, 10.5% (2/19) were TCR^－/IG^－, and 5.3% (1/19) TCR^－/IG⁺. Mutation frequencies by TES were 66.7% (20/30) for RHOA, 23.3% (7/30) for IDH2 mutation, 80.0% (24/30) for TET2 mutation, and 33.3% (10/30) DNMT3A mutation. Integrated analysis divided into four groups: (1) IDH2 and RHOA co-mutation group (7 cases): 6 cases were type Ⅱ, 1 case was type Ⅲ; all with typical TFH phenotype; HRS-like cells and large B transformation were not found; (2) RHOA single mutation group (13 cases): 1 case was type Ⅰ, 6 cases were type Ⅱ, 6 cases were type Ⅲ; 5 cases without typical TFH phenotype; 6 cases had HRS-like cells, and 2 cases with large B transformation. Atypically, 1 case showed TCR^－/IG^－, 1 case with TCR^－/IG⁺, and 1 case with TCR⁺/IG⁺; (3) TET2 and/or DNMT3A mutation alone group (7 cases): 3 cases were type Ⅱ, 4 cases were type Ⅲ, all cases were found with typical TFH phenotype; 2 cases had HRS-like cells, 2 cases with large B transformation, and atypically; (4) non-mutation group (3 cases), all were type Ⅱ, with typical TFH phenotype, with significant extra-GC FDC proliferation, without HRS-like cells and large B transformation. Atypically, 1 case was TCR^－/IG^－. Univariate analysis confirmed that higher density of EBV positive cell was independent adverse prognostic factors for both overall survival (OS) and progression free survival(PFS), (P=0.017 and P=0.046). CONCLUSION Pathological diagnoses of ALTL cases with HRS-like cells, large B transformation or type Ⅰ are difficult. Although TCR/IG gene rearrangement test is helpful but still with limitation. TES involving RHOA, IDH2, TET2, DNMT3A can robustly assist in the differential diagnosis of those difficult cases. Higher density of EBV positive cells counts in tumor tissue might be an indicator for poor survival.

Arrhythmias are usually asymptomatic and paroxysma.l Conventional 24h Holter electrocardiogram usually cannot discover all arrhythmia events,so long-term Holter electrocardiogram came into being.Main types of long-term Holter ECG recorders include wearable patch devices and implantable electrocardiogram recorders.Long-term Holter electrocardiogram has been applied to early screening of asymptomatic arrhythmia,etiological screening of cryptogenic ischemic stroke and etiological diagnosis of patients with unexplained syncope etc.The present article makes a review on research progress of long-term Holter electrocardiogram in clinical application in recent years.

Objective: To identify and analyze two strains of C. diphtheriae in Guangdong Province by combining whole genome sequencing with traditional detection methods. Methods: The C. diphtheriae was isolated from Guangzhou in 2010 and Zhuhai in 2020 respectively. Isolates were identified by API Coryne strips and MALDI-TOF-MS. Genomic DNA was sequenced by using Illumina. The assembly was performed for each strain using CLC software. J Species WS online tool was used for average nucleoside homology identification, then narKGHIJ and tox gene were detected by NCBI online analysis tool BLSATN. MEGA-X was used to build a wgSNP phylogenetic tree. Results: GD-Guangzhou-2010 was Belfanti and GD-Zuhai-2020 was Gravis. ANIb between GD-Guangzhou-2010 and C. belfantii was 99.61%. ANI between GD-Zhuhai-2020 and C. diphtheriae was 97.64%. BLASTN results showed that the nitrate reduction gene narKGHIJ and tox gene of GD-Guangzhou-2010 was negative, while GD-Zhuhai-2020 nitrate reduction gene narKGHIJ was positive. There were two obvious clades in wgSNP phylogenetic tree. The first clades included all Mitis and Gravis types strains as well as GD-Zhuhai-2020. The second clades contained all isolates of C.belfantii, C.diphtheriae subsp. lausannense and GD-guangzhou-2010. Conclusion: Two non-toxic C. diphtheriae strains are successfully isolated and identified. The phylogenetic tree suggests that GD-Guangzhou-2010 and GD-Zhuhai-2020 are located in two different evolutionary branches.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of ethyl acetate extract of Acanthopanacis Senticosi Radix et Rhizoma seu Caulis on high-fat diet-induced apolipoprotein E gene knockout （ApoE^-/-） mice， and explore its mechanism of treating atherosclerosis by regulating intestinal flora. MethodThirty-two 8-week-old male ApoE^-/- mice were randomly divided into model group， rosuvastatin group （10 mg·kg^-1）， high-， low-dose groups of ethyl acetate extract of Acanthopanacis Senticosi Radix et Rhizoma seu Caulis （75， 25 mg·kg^-1）， with 8 mice in each group. Eight C57BL/6 mice were used as blank group. After 8 weeks of continuous administration， blood was taken to determine the blood lipid level. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the contents of related indexes in serum of mice. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the formation of aortic plaque in mice. Cecal contents were collected and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing was used to detect intestinal flora. ResultCompared with the blank group， the plaque area of the model group was significantly increased with inflammatory infiltration， the contents of triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， inflammatory factors and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） were increased， while the content of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） was decreased. Compared with the model group， rosuvastatin group and high- and low-dose groups of ethyl acetate extract of Acanthopanacis Senticosi Radix et Rhizoma seu Caulis could improve the deposition of aortic plaque， reduce the contents of TG， TC， LDL-C， inflammatory factors and iNOS， and increase the content of HDL-C. Compared with the blank group， the relative abundances of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria in the model group increased， while the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes decreased. Alpha and Beta diversity analysis showed that samples of each group could be significantly isolated， and the total number and abundance of intestinal flora species in the model group were low. Compared with the model group， ethyl acetate extract of Acanthopanacis Senticosi Radix et Rhizoma seu Caulis could increase the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria and decrease the relative abundance of pathogenic bacteria. ConclusionEthyl acetate extract of Acanthopanacis Senticosi Radix et Rhizoma seu Caulis was mainly composed of flavonoids， which can treat atherosclerosis by regulating the intestinal flora and improve the pathological changes in the aorta of ApoE^-/- mice induced by high-fat diet. The mechanism may be related to its ability to reduce the level of inflammatory factors， improve antioxidant capacity and repair the disorder of intestinal flora structure.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of acrivastine alone or in combination with loratadine in the treatment of chronic refractory urticaria.Methods:From March 2017 to December 2018, a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical study was conducted in 4 centers. Patients with chronic refractory urticaria were randomly divided into two groups, i.e., combined treatment group receiving oral acrivastine capsules 8 mg thrice a day plus oral loratadine tablets 10 mg once a day, and acrivastine alone group receiving oral acrivastine capsules 8 mg thrice a day plus a placebo 10 mg once a day. The course of treatment was 4 weeks. Visits were scheduled at baseline and after 1, 2 and 4 weeks of treatment. At the same time, clinical data were collected, and adverse events were recorded. Symptom scores were evaluated based on degree of itching, number and size of wheals, duration of each attack and number of attacks per week, and symptom score reduce index (SSRI) was used to evaluate the efficacy. Repeated measures analysis of variance and chi-square test were used to evaluate the efficacy and safety.Results:Fifty-three patients in the combined treatment group and 59 in the acrivastine alone group were included in the efficacy analysis. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in symptom score or visual analogue score between the two groups. After 2 weeks of treatment, 19 patients were cured and 10 achieved marked improvement in the combined treatment group, with a response rate of 54.72%; 15 were cured and 6 achieved marked improvement in the acrivastine alone group, with a response rate of 35.59%. After 4 weeks of treatment, 23 patients were cured and 9 achieved marked improvement in the combined treatment group, with a response rate of 60.38%; 20 were cured and 2 achieved marked improvement in the acrivastine alone group, with a response rate of 37.29%. After 2 and 4 weeks of treatment, the response rates were significantly higher in the combined treatment group than in the acrivastine alone group ( χ2 = 4.13, 5.96 respectively, both P < 0.05) . The SSRI significantly differed among different follow-up time points, as well as between the 2 groups ( F = 8.62, 4.38 respectively, both P < 0.05) . Multivariate analysis of variance showed that SSRI was significantly higher in the combined treatment group (0.63 ± 0.05, 0.68 ± 0.05, respectively) than in the acrivastine alone group (0.47 ± 0.05, 0.51 ± 0.05, respectively) after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment (both P < 0.05) . Drug-related adverse reactions, including drowsiness, stomach upsets, headache and liver function abnormality, occurred in 7 patients in the combined treatment group, as well as in 3 in the acrivastine alone group. Conclusion:Acrivastine is safe and effective for the treatment of chronic refractory urticaria, and acrivastine combined with loratadine can markedly improve the efficacy.

Objective To investigate the short-and mid-term prognosis and its influencing factors of Kasai portoenterostomy for type Ⅲ biliary atresia.Methods 220 infants with type Ⅲ biliary atresia who underwent Kasai surgery at Capital Pediatric Institution from Jan 2014 to June 2017 were retrospectively reviewed.There were 88 males and 132 females,with an average age at operation (60 ±23) d.The followup time ranged from 12 to 53 months.Results The survival rate with native liver (SNL) at 1,2,and 3 years after Kasai operation were 65％,59.6％,and 57.0％,respectively.The clearance rate of jaundice within 3 months after Kasai was 50.5％;3-year SNL of infants whose jaundice disappeared or did not after operation were 86.8％ and 27.1％ (P ＜ 0.05).The overall incidence of cholangitis was 60％.The clearance rate of jaundice in children with or without cholangitis was 55.3％ and 43.2％,while the 3-year SNL were 62.4％ and 49.6％,respectively (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The 3-year survival rate on their native liver after Kasai operation in infants with type Ⅲ biliary atresia can reach up to 57％.The clearance of jaundice within 3 months post-operation is the main factor affecting prognosis.The age at surgery and the occurrence of cholangitis do not affect the survival rate of native liver in the short-and mid-term prognosis.

Objective: To observe the effect of modified Chaihu Shugantang on the expression of miRNA-204 in hippocampus of epileptic mice, and to explore its mechanism of neuroprotection. Method: The sixty mice were randomly divided into 6 groups:normal group, model group (pilocarpine 180 mg·kg^-1), and modified Chaihu Shugantang group (7 g·kg^-1·d^-1), modified Chaihu Shugantang+miRNA-204 mimic group (7 g·kg^-1·d^-1+ 2 μL), modified Chaihu Shugantang+miRNA-204 inhibitor group (7 g·kg^-1·d^-1+2 μL), carbamazepine group (30 mg·kg^-1·d^-1),each was given intragastric administration for 2 weeks,using pilocarpine to cause epilepsy in mice, respectively, add flavor to Bupleurum after intragastric administration, inhibition and overexpression of miRNA-204, the mice were sacrificed and their hippocampus tissues were harvested.The indicators of each group were observed, Real-time quantitative PCR detecting system (Real-time PCR) was used to detect mouse hippocampal miRNA-204 expression, Western blot analysis of autophagy-related protein microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3), autophagy-associated marker protein 7 (ATG7) expression, hematoxylin pathological condition of hippocampus in each group was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.The autophagy of hippocampus in each group was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Result: Compared with normal group, the expression of miRNA-204 was significantly decreased in model group (P<0.01), the pathological changes in the hippocampal C1 area were the most obvious, the expression of ATG7, LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ was increased (P<0.01), and the autophagy was small. Compared with model group, the expression of miRNA-204 in the hippocampus of the modified Chaihu Shugantang group was increased (P<0.05), the pathological changes in the hippocampal C1 area were alleviated, the expression of ATG7, LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ was decreased (P<0.05), and the autophagy was small. The number of body decreased,the expression of miRNA-204 in hippocampus of modified Chaihu Shugantang+miRNA-204 mimic group was significantly increased (P<0.01), the pathological changes in hippocampal C1 area were the lightest, and the expression of ATG7, LC3Ⅱ/LC3I was decreased (P<0.01), the number of autophagosomes was the least.Compared with modified Chaihu Shugantang group, the above-mentioned indicators of modified Chaihu Shugantang+miRNA-204 inhibitor group had the same change trend and the change range decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion: Modified Chaihu Shugantang can improve the pathological changes of hippocampus in mice with epilepsy and play a neuroprotective role. The mechanism may be to increase the expression of miRNA-204 in hippocampus of mice with epilepsy, inhibit excessive autophagy of neurons and reduce apoptosis.

The development of neuroimaging has led to a high diagnostic rate of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).The hemorrhage transformation (HT) and clinical prognosis after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with CSVD have become hot topics in recent years.Relevant studies have shown that different subtypes of CSVD may have different influences in HT and clinical prognoses in AIS.In clinic,each subtype of CSVD may not exist alone in one patient,therefore,some scholars put forward the concept of total burden of CSVD to further quantitatively assess the severity of CSVD in the whole brain and their effects on HT and clinical prognosis after intravenous thrombolysis of AIS.This article reviews the researches on HT and clinical prognosis after intravenous thrombolysis in AIS with CSVD.
