Objective:To analyze the experiences and practice in the reform of public hospital salary system in Sichuan province, summarize the typical modes of such reform in the province, and provide references for further reform.Methods:As of October 29, 2021, the research group received 77 sets of typical experience materials submitted by the health commissions and public hospitals in Sichuan province on enforcing the reform of the public hospital salary system. The analysis framework was based on the five main elements proposed in the Guidance to Deepening the Reform of the Salary System of Public Hospitals for the purpose of furthering the reform. These five elements refer to " reasonably determining the level of salary in public hospitals" " fully implementing the autonomy of internal distribution in public hospitals " " establishing and improving the incentive and restraint mechanism for the remuneration of public hospital leaders" " improving the assessment and evaluation mechanism oriented to public welfare" and " funding sources ". A quantitative analysis was made on the typical experience materials using the social network analysis method, while a qualitative analysis was made on the typical experience materials using the content analysis method. Results:The results of social network analysis showed that the network density was 0.272; the highest point centrality was " fully implement the autonomy of internal distribution in public hospitals" (0.935), and the highest intermediary centrality was " improving the assessment and evaluation mechanism oriented to public welfare" (0.870), while the closeness to centrality of " establishing and improving the incentive and constraint mechanism for the salary of public hospital leaders" (0.434) and " funding sources" (0.421) were relatively low. The results of content analysis showed that the ones with higher frequency among all the typical experience materials were " fully implementing the autonomy of internal distribution of hospitals" (72 times) and " improving the assessment and evaluation mechanism oriented to public welfare" (67 times), while the ones with lower frequency were " establishing and improving the salary incentive and constraint mechanism for public hospital leaders" (17 times) and " funding sources" (14 times). In terms of unity and synergy, the typical models of public hospital salary system reform in the province could be categorized as the fine standard mode, the fair value mode, the autonomous synergy mode and the circular symbiosis mode.Conclusions:Deepening the reform of the salary system of public hospitals should unify the standards and improve the fair and refined assessment and evaluation mechanism; explore various forms of distribution and build an internal autonomous and synergistic incentive mechanism; pay attention to the weak remuneration incentive mechanism for hospital leaders and the problem of a relatively single source of funding.

Research of healthy life expectancy (HLE) is needed in an aging society and by the Healthy China Initiative. However, China has not developed the HLE policy goal nor published HLE values. Therefore, it is essential to construct the HLE indicator system to guide HLE estimation and research. Based on the definition of health from the WHO and the concepts from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, One Health and Active Health, we systematically reviewed the existing international HLE indicators, and initially proposed a novel multi-dimensional HLE conceptual framework and indicator structure according to international function, disability and health classifications and international disease classification framework of WHO. The conceptual framework includes five dimensions-physical, mental, behavioral, social, and environmental health, and the comprehensive indicator for disability-disability index is added. Furthermore, we proposed the HLE indicator structure, including behavioral factors, physiological and pathological reasons, impairment, functional limitation, disability and death. Then we discussed the approaches, types of data, and potential data sources for such research. The results of this study would facilitate HLE research and contribute to the aging society and Healthy China Initiative.

Objective:To analyze the salary characteristics of medical institutions and the influencing factors of personnel expenditure as found in the salary system reform of public hospitals in Sichuan province, for reference in furthering such reform in public hospitals.Methods:The data of personnel expenditure, business operation and medical services came from 96 medical institutions in 21 cities(prefectures)of Sichuan province from 2017 to 2020 by means of institutional survey. The average salary level and salary structure of medical staff were used to describe the salary characteristics, and the total salary was presented by the level of personnel expenditure. The measurement data was represented by M(IQR), the counting data was described by frequency and constituent ratio, and the influencing factors of personnel expenditure were analyzed by generalized linear mixed model. Results:From 2017 to 2020, the personnel expenditure of medical institutions increased by 13.04% annually. In 2020, the per capita salary level of medical staff was 151 900 yuan, while the basic salary and performance salary accounted for 16.20% and 54.60% of personnel expenditure respectively. The analysis results of the generalized linear mixed model showed that the average cost of patients per visit( β=0.596), the level of drugs and sanitary materials consumed per 100 yuan medical income( β=0.286), the number of medical visits( β=0.328), and the years [(2018, 2019, 2020) β=0.025, 0.052, 0.066] were positively correlated to personnel expenditure, while the average length of stay( β=-0.693), the proportion of medical service income( β=-0.392), and the balance rate of income and expenditure( β=-0.062)were negatively correlated to personnel expenditure( P<0.05). The proportion of fiscal subsidy revenue, regional GDP and asset-liability ratio were not the influencing factors of personnel expenditure( P> 0.05). Conclusions:In the reform of the salary system of the province, its salary level of medical institutions has surpassed the current wage ceiling of these institutions. As the salary distribution was mainly made based on the workload, the " baton" role of the salary system reform has begun to pay off. However, the basic guarantee role of compensation has not yet been fully leveraged.Further reform is needed in upgrading refined management, and timely dynamic adjustment of personnel expenditure in combination with the hospital's financial performance and cost analysis, and reasonably optimizing the level of medical staff compensation.

【Objective】 To compare the effectiveness of the old mode of blood isolation and batch release (the old mode) and the new mode in Chengdu, so as to provide basis for optimizing working strategy. 【Methods】 1) The blood testing report was released one by one in the old mode but released uniformly in accordance with the blood batches classified by blood storage and supply department in the new mode. 2) In the old mode, apheresis platelet samples were detected by serological testing first and nucleic acid testing(NAT) later, and whole blood samples were reasonably arranged according to blood inventory and detection workload. In the new mode, platelets samples collected within our center headquarters were detected by serological test and NAT simultaneously, while those collected outside the center complied with the old strategy. As for whole blood, the same batch samples classified by blood storage and supply department should be arranged to the detection line with the fewest samples.3) The turnaround time(TAT) in the laboratory (referred to as sample TAT) and the TAT in the blood to-detect stock (referred to as blood TAT) in two phases(year 2016 vs 2018, pre- and post- the new mode), involving 164 748 and 179 488 blood samples, were compared by SPSS25.0 software. The constituent ratio of the TATs were compared with Chi-square test, and the difference of blood TAT between old and new mode were compared with Mann-Whitney U test. 【Results】 1) Significant difference was noticed in constituent ratio of TATs between old and new mode (P<0.05). 2)The blood TATof apheresis platelets using the new mode was 0.95(QR: 0.22)days, with the median 0.20 days shorter than that the old mode.. The blood TAT of whole blood in the new mode was 3.77 (QR: 1.99) days, with the median 0.90 days shorter than that in the old mode, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Compared with the old mode, the new mode showed the following advantages: 1) It can realize the unified issuing of testing reports of blood with the same batch, contribute to the early discovery of errors that occurred during blood donation process, and located the errors wihin intra-batches for investigation. 2) It can advance the issuing of blood testing reports of the same batch. 3) It can make the flow of samples and blood with the same batch between different departments more standardized and orderly, and optimize the process of blood sorting thus shortening blood TAT. 4) It can realize the counting and checking of samples, within the same batch, at different states, so as to minimize the error issuing of unqualified blood and to-detect blood, and is more conducive to ensure the quality, safety and timely supply of blood.

Objective:To comprehensively evaluate the clinical application status of oral movement intervention in preterm infants, analyze the obstacles in the process of clinical application of the best evidence and formulate countermeasures, so as to provide reference for clinical evidence transformation.Methods:Based on the theoretical guidance of the "Clinical Application Model of Evidence" of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Health Care Center in Australia, 12 pieces of the best evidence for oral movement intervention in premature infants were included, and 13 review indicators were formulated. From May to July 2021, a status review was conducted in Department of Neonatology in Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University. The Ottawa Model of Research Use (OMRU) was used to analyze the barriers and facilitators in the process of evidence application and formulate effective intervention strategies and action plans.Results:Among the 13 reviewed indicators, only 2 items had a compliance rate of 100%, 2 items had a compliance rate of more than 60%, 6 items had a compliance rate of less than 60%, and 3 items had a compliance rate of 0. The main obstacle factors were lack of standardized process and assessment tools, lack of oral motor intervention related knowledge and training for preterm infants, increased clinical workload due to evidence transformation and the low level of knowledge and action among medical staff. The main promoting factors were support from managers for the development and reform of evidence-based learning, good learning atmosphere for doctors and nurses, departments with material and hardware conditions for evidence transformation, effective evidence, and parents' willingness to accept the reform. Through analysis, countermeasures were drawn up to formulate feasible and suitable standardized procedures and introduce assessment tools. Managers formulated and implemented incentive policies, adopted various training methods, strengthened quality supervision in the process of evidence transformation, timely gave feedback of progress results and improved human resource allocation.Conclusions:There is a certain gap between the best evidence of oral movement intervention in premature infants and the current clinical nursing practice. It is necessary to formulate corresponding countermeasures according to the obstacle factors and promoting factors, promote the evidence transformation and constantly promote the evidence-based practice of oral movement intervention in premature infants.

Beh?et′s syndrome (BS) is classified among variable vessel vasculitis with unknown etiology and extensively heterogeneous clinical features. It is easily missed or misdiagnosed due to the lack of a specific laboratory diagnosis index. Based on the evidence and guidelines from China and other countries, the Chinese Rheumatology Association developed the standardization of diagnosis and treatment of BS. The purposes are: (1) To standardize the detection and interpretation of key indicators for BS; (2) To standardize rational management for BS patients with topical and systemic organ involvement to reduce complications and improve outcomes.

Moschus chrysogaster (sifanicus) viral hemorrhagic disease (McVHD) is an acute and highly lethal infectious disease caused by Moschus chrysogaster hemorrhagic disease virus (McHDV) whose genome sequence is highly homologous with rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus. To screen the protective antigen of McHDV and set the basis for study of McVHD vaccine, the antigen epitope of major structural protein VP60 of McHDV was analyzed, and the specific primers were designed to obtain three amplified DNA sequences encoding the main antigen epitope of VP60 from McHDV by using RT-PCR. Then the three DNA fragments were sequenced and cloned to prokaryotic expression vector with pET-28a(+) by using overlap extension PCR, and finally the prokaryotic expression plasmid pET-truncated-VP60 was constructed. Subsequently, the pET-truncated-VP60 was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), and the recombinant proteins were expressed by IPTG induction. Finally, the expressed protein was purified and applied to immunize that without immunizing with RHD vaccine, then the antiserum titers were evaluated by the hemagglutination inhibition test, and the immune-protective efficacy of the recombinant proteins was observed and analyzed through animal challenge test. The results showed that the multi-epitope DNA fragments of VP60 of McHDV was successfully expressed in the form of inclusion bodies in E. coli, and the relative molecular weight of recombinant proteins is about 45 kDa. After immunized with the recombinant proteins, 100% of New Zealand white rabbits were resistant to attack of McHDV, which indicates efficient immune-protective efficacy of chosen epitope recombinant protein. The study laid a foundation for the development of the new subunit vaccines of McVHD.

Objective:To study the characteristics and influence factors of laboratory test results of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Tianjin.Methods:Sample collection was conducted based on the standard operating procedure. Tianlong automatic magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction reagent was used for RNA extraction. Real-time RT-PCR was performed using four approved COVID-19 nucleic acid detection kits. Related epidemiological data of the cases were collected. One-way analysis of variance and non-parametric test for inter-group differences analysis were conducted using SPSS25.0 software.Results:A total of 162 PCR tests were completed for novel coronavirus nucleic acid detection in 123 confirmed COVID-19 cases. Eleven PCR results were positive for a single target gene and 10 of which were positive for nucleocapsid protein (N) gene. Nineteen cases were tested with two kinds of nucleic acid detection kits and the results of different detection kits were different. Different types of samples were collected form 13 cases for nucleic acid detection and the results showed that the Ct value of sputum sample was lower than that of throat swab sample. No significant difference in Ct values of throat swab samples was observed among patients with different clinical symptoms ( PCt-N=0.797, PCt-ORF1a/b=0.551). The 123 cases were divided into different groups according to the time interval between the onset date and the date of the first positive detection of viral nucleic acid. No significant difference in Ct values of throat swab samples was observed among different time interval groups ( PCt-N=0.373, PCt-ORF1a/b=0.058). Conclusions:Sputum samples were better than upper respiratory tract samples for viral nucleic acid detection. The sensitivity of N gene detection was higher, but re-sampling was needed when the result was positive for the single target N gene. Appropriate detection kits should be selected according to the actual needs, and samples should be collected at multiple time points, in multiple types and form multiple sites for detection.
