Objective To analyze the costs of emergency medication in the West China Hospital within one month after Lushan earthquake based on actual medication of the victims’ disease spectrum. Methods We collected emergency medication data as evaluation index in the West China Hospital within one month after Lushan earthquake, including daily cost, cumulative percentage of pharmacology category, average cost per day/person, average cost per day/person when DUI=1, difference between average cost per day /person, and average cost per day/person when DUI=1, etc. Then, we input data using Excel software for statistically analyzing the costs of emergency medication within one month after the earthquake. Results During one month after the earthquake, the costs changed consistently with the number of victims, which implied the change of costs was rational. Injuries were classified into 6 categories and 12 kinds according to ICD-10. The costs of medication accounted for 71% of the total costs. Six kinds of illness accounted for 21%. Medication for injuries was classified into 3 categories and 18 kinds; average cost per day was 186.87 yuan and average cost per person was 1 702.70 yuan. Medication for illness was classified into 5 categories and 28 kinds; average cost per day was 38.96 yuan and average cost per person was 185.13 yuan. The mean value of average cost per day/person of injection was 14.52/5.08 times more than that of non-injection. Meanwhile, the mean value of average cost per day/person of imported medication was 7.10/5.28 times more than that of domestic medication. Conclusion The factors that impact the medication costs include: a) disease burden and traumatic conditions of the sick and wound; b) administration pathway (injection vs. non-injection); c) imported or domestic medication; and d) the rationality of taking DUI as evaluation index. When DUIgt;1, injection through the vein and imported medication take a larger share which increase the costs of medication. Emergency rescue package should mainly prepare for the injury. In order to ensure the timely, safe and effective medication, injection should be given priority to. We also should take into consideration crash-resistance/anti-quake package, reasonable dosage, convenience-to-use of drugs as well as the needs of the illness.

Health poverty alleviation is an important practice in implementing the basic strategy of precision poverty alleviation. It is also an important measure to win the battle against poverty in rural areas. Through the investigation of local medical and health conditions, West China Hospital of Sichuan University built a demand-oriented framework for medical poverty alleviation in Ganzi Prefecture, and gradually carried out precision top-level design, discipline construction, technical training, talent training, endemic disease prevention and control; through establishinga regional medical cooperation network, built featured specialies, built the backbone of medical and health forces, achieved the prevention of endemic diseases throughout life cycle, and improved the overall medical and health service capacity of Ganzi Prefecture. This article introduces the exploration and practice of the demand-oriented model in Ganzi Prefecture by West China Hospital of Sichuan University, aiming at providing a guide for the precision health poverty alleviation in China.
Objective To comparatively analyze the rationality of emergency medication after Wenchuan earthquake with that after Lushan earthquake in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, based on the use of medicine of the victim’s disease spectrum. Method By using Excel, defined daily dose system (DDDs) and drug utilization index (DUI) were used as the evaluation indexes to analyze the rationality of emergency medication in West China Hospital of Sichuan University within one month after Wenchuan earthquake and Lushan earthquake. Results Within one month after Wenchuan and Lushan earthquake, there were 1 839 and 488 victims treated in the hospital, respectively. Within one month after the two earthquakes, the variation tendency of DDDs of drugs and number of victims was consistent, and the consistency was better in Lushan earthquake than that in Wenchuan earthquake. Among the 60 drugs which DDDs were ranked top five in their pharmacological class (top ten for antimicrobials) in Wenchuan earthquake, the majority of them were injections (injections vs. non-injections: 70.0% vs. 30.0%); the results showed that the medication (DUI=1) only accounted for 10.0%, the medication (DUI<1) accounted for 28.3%, which implied that the use of drugs was insufficient, the medication (DUI>1) accounted for 61.7%, which implied that drugs were overused; the average of DUI was 1.61. And in Lushan earthquake, injections also accounted for a larger proportion than non-injections (63.3%vs. 36.7%); the results showed that the medication (DUI=1) accounted for 15.0%, the medication (DUI<1) accounted for 38.3%, the medication (DUI>1) accounted for 46.7%; the average of DUI was 1.30. Conclusions Base on the DUI, we draw the conclusion that the rationality of emergency drug use and the timeliness of emergency drug supply were better in Lushan earthquake than those in Wenchuan earthquake. But the rationality of using the DUI, which is an evaluation index for normal conditions, to evaluate the emergency conditions still needs to be further verified.
Objective To retrospectively investigate the disease constitution of no less than 60-year-old inpatients in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University in 2011, and to compare with the outpatients in the corresponding period, so as to provide baseline data for further study. Methods The inpatients’ information in 2011 was collected from hospital information system (HIS). The diseases were classified according to ICD-10 based on the first discharge diagnosis. Data rearrangement and analysis were carried out by Microsoft Excel software. Results a) The person time of no less than 60-year-old inpatients were 47 233 in 2011, accounted for 30.35% of all inpatients in the corresponding period. b) The top ten systematic diseases were neoplasm, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, eyes, factors influencing health status and contacting with health services, genitourinary, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, nervous, and injury, poisoning and other consequences of external causes diseases, respectively. c) The male inpatients were more than the female who suffering from the top ten systematic diseases, except for eyes, musculoskeletal system and connective tissue disease. d) Except for respiratory disease, the number of inpatients who suffered from the other top ten systematic diseases got decreased with age increasing. e) Neoplasm was the most common disease, and the person time of malignant neoplasm inpatients was 10 467 (91.93%). f) The cumulative constituent ratio of the top three malignant neoplasms was 75.43%, including malignant neoplasms of digestive organs, respiratory and intrathoracic organs as well as lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissues. g) The top five malignant neoplasms of digestive organs accounted for 87.81%, including malignant neoplasms of rectum, stomach, oesophagus, liver and intrahepatic bile ducts as well as colon. h) The bronchus and lung malignant neoplasms accounted for 90.4% of all malignant neoplasms of respiratory and intrathoracic organs inpatients. i) The cumulative constituent ratio of the top four malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissues was 84.45%, including multiple myeloma and malignant plasma cell neoplasms, other and unspecified types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, myeloid leukaemia, and diffuse non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Conclusion The male inpatients are more than female in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University in 2011. Most inpatients are at age from 60 to 79 years old. The most common systematic disease is neoplasm, especially the malignant neoplasms with higher constituent ratio, of which the malignant neoplasms of digestive organs, respiratory and intrathoracic organs, and lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissues were more common than others.

Methods From November to December 2009, the PET Slice of 20 patients with metallic dental implant were reconstructed with four-and two-section algorithms respectively. Mean SUV and maximum SUV were measured in three high-density areas and 7 low-density areas. Paired t test were performed to compare the differences. Results Mean SUV: two-section algorithm produced significantly lower SUV in all the three high-density areas; in the 7 low-density areas, SUV increased obviously in one area and decreased apparently in one area (Plt;0.05). Maximum SUV: two-section algorithm produced significantly lower SUV in two high-density areas, SUV increased obviously in one area and decreased apparently in two areas which was adjacent to the high density areas (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Two-section algorithm produces lower SUV measurement value than the four-section algorithm does, and it is useful in PET/CT studies for patients with metallic dental implant and when CT contrast is used.
By analyzing the current situation and problems of China’s precision healthy poverty alleviation, combining the current situation of poverty alleviation areas and its own clinical and regional advantages, West China Hospital of Sichuan University explores a practical “West China Way” to solve the healthy poverty problem. We insist on demand orientation, build the top-level design, and implement precise policies. Starting with the promotion of health screening, we actualizes hospital management, multi-disciplinary collaboration, integrated medical care construction according to regional needs, “double-group” style assistance, stratified and graded training, and telemedicine education. As the combination of “transfusion” and “hematopoiesis”, we help the local areas to build modern systems of hospital management, technology, and human resource.
Objective To investigate HCV genotypes in HCV patients in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and to analyze the major genotypes and clinical characteristics. Methods From March 2011 to September 2016, 4 520 HCV patients who were successfully genotyped HCV genotypes were enrolled in West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The genotypes distributions and the characteristics of laboratory characteristics of liver function, the viral loading were all analyzed. In addition, the genotypes in HCC patients, liver cirrhosis, HBC/HCV co-infection were also analyzed. Results HCV genotypes of HCV patients were divided into five genotypes of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 23 subtypes, including predominant genotypes/subtypes 1b, 1*, 3b, 2a, 3a and 6a, accounting for 66.42%, 8.01%, 6.57%, 4.54%, 4.29%, and 3.41%, respectively. Subtype 1b was the predominant subtype for both sex. In male patients, the levels of ALT were highest in 6a subtype, while in female, the levels of ALT were highest in 3a subtype. For the 94 liver cirrhosis patients, 42 patients were 1b subtypes; as for the 6 HCC patients, 1b and 3b subtypes were the only detected. Conclusion HCV genotypes/subtypes of HCV patients in West China Hospital of Sichuan University have unique characteristics of distribution, while the predominant genotype/subtypes are 1b,1*, 3b, 2a, 3a, 6a.
