An experimental study was designed on the treatment of 8 superficial burn wounds and 5 wounds after removing the split-thickness skin grafts with 200GS permanent magnetic flat dressings, and some of the wounds were chosen at random which did not received any treatment and would be served as control. It was noted that the volume of exudate in the treatment group was 11.9 50.7％ less than that of the control group, and the total protein, the albumin and globulin contents in the treatment cases were far less in exudate than those of the control cases. It was concluded that the magnetic therapy not only decresed the exudate, but also diminished the amount of total protein, albumin and globulin in the exudating fluid and it was of benefit to wound recovery.
Objective To systematically review the impact of Beijing's comprehensive reform of medical consumption linkage on medical expenses, hospital services, and hospital income. Methods Databases including CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched to collect empirical research on evaluating the impact of Beijing's comprehensive reform of medical consumption linkage on patient medical expenses and hospital operation (service volume and income structure) from June 15th, 2019 to August 15th, 2021. A descriptive analysis was performed after two reviewers independently screened the literature and extracted data. Results A total of 23 studies were included, and most of them found a relatively small change in the average outpatient and emergency medical expenses after the reform. However, the average inpatient expenses in some hospitals showed an increasing trend; the service volume of most hospitals increased slightly, and the income structure was optimized (e.g., surgery and other medical technology services revenue and its proportion increased). Conclusion The comprehensive reform of the medical consumption linkage in Beijing is the practice of deepening the reform of the medical service price mechanism. Based on the summary of the reform effect, it is recommended to further improve the price mechanism, improve service quality, and promote hierarchical diagnosis and treatment.

In view of the patient, hospital stakeholders and the public, West China Hospital of Sichuan University creatively constructed a social evaluation system, including patient satisfaction degree, expert appraisal and online public comment, in order to maintain a good medical environment. After several years of construction and application, the system has been quite effective in promote the development of the hospital. In the assessment of patients' satisfaction degree toward the hospital, we made a great improvement.
Objective To explore the effect of “net bottom” management in the control of device-associated infections (DAIs) in elderly patients by setting infection monitoring doctors and nurses in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU). Methods Elderly patients who aged≥60 years old admitted to the EICU of the First People’s Hospital of Lianyungang between April 2018 and March 2021 were selected as the research subjects. A “net bottom” management mode was established and implemented for the purpose of infection prevention and control, taking medical and other departments as the coordination and management subjects, and infection monitoring doctors and nurses as the core. The effectiveness of the management intervention was evaluated by comparing the incidences of DAIs in elderly patients, the compliance rates of medical staff in hand hygiene, and the consumption of hand sanitizer per bed day in EICU among the primary stage (from April 2018 to March 2019), intermediate stage (from April 2019 to March 2020), and later stage (from April 2020 to March 2021). Results During the primary stage, intermediate stage, and later stage, there were 540, 497, and 507 elderly inpatients in EICU monitored, respectively, and the incidences of nosocomial infections were 7.22% (39/540), 5.84% (29/497), and 4.14% (21/507), respectively, showing a decreasing trend (χ2trend=4.557, P=0.033). The incidences of ventilator-associated pneumonia, central line-associated bloodstream infections, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections decreased from 4.82‰, 2.53‰, and 0.95‰, respectively in the primary stage, to 0.51‰, 1.01‰, and 0.53‰, respectively in the later stage, among which the difference in the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia was statistically significant (P<0.05). The hand hygiene compliance rate of EICU medical staff increased from 70.39% to 86.67% (P<0.05), and the consumption of hand sanitizer per bed day increased from 33.70 mL to 67.27 mL. The quarterly hand hygiene compliance rate was positively correlated with the quarterly consumption of hand sanitizer per bed day (rs=0.846, P=0.001), and negatively correlated with the quarterly incidence of nosocomial infections (rs=–0.769, P=0.003). Conclusion The “net bottom” management by setting up infection monitoring doctors and nurses in the EICU and multi-department collaboration can reduce the incidence of DAIs in elderly patients in EICU, which plays a positive role in promoting the hospital infection management and improving the quality of hospital infection management.

In 2019, day surgery was included as one of the performance assessment indicators of tertiary public hospitals. In recent years, hospital-based day surgery centers have begun to plan and build. Although the basic facilities have been perfectly improved, but how to efficiently and safely operate and manage the centralized day surgery has become the primary problem to clinicians and managers. The purpose of this paper is to introduce how the Day Surgery Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University uses scientific management tools and establishes a professional multidisciplinary team, so as to carry out efficient operation management and control of medical quality and safety risks of the Day Surgery Center. And then provide practical experience guidance and suggestions with strong feasibility and operability for peers.
Objective To provide reference for hospital emergency preparedness for disasters in China by summarizing the main results from articles involving hospital emergency readiness. Method We systematically searched MEDLINE (1950 to June 2008), CNKI (1980 to June 2008) and some websites. The main results of the eligible articles are described. Results A total of 85 articles were included, of which expert articles and surveys accounted for 44% and 29%, respectively. An emergency hospital plan should address the following 4 phases of disaster management: mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery. The following factors should be considered when developing hospital emergency plans: surge capacity, disaster planning, collaboration, training, drill, personnel, equipment, triage, diagnosis, treatment, decontamination, funding, individual security, logistic, psychological support, etc. Questionnaires, checklists or specific tools could be applied to evaluate such emergency plans. Conclusion Hospital emergency preparedness is essential for effective disaster relief. Hospitals should develop emergency plans for a variety of disasters, based on their local situations.
Objective To summarize primary clinical data from Xiao Tang Shan Hospital (XTSH) Information System, to provide evidence for clinical data of emerging diseases. Method The primary data were extracted from XTSH information system, which related to demographic and background information, case history, prescriptions, laboratory tests, physical examination, vital sign, surgery, diagnostics and expenditures. The software for data verification was developed by Delphi language program. The information of SARS management was developed by Oracle Developer. Results XTSH information system for SARS management collected 1.09 million pieces of information covering 680 SARS cases. The database was functionally divided into inquiry window, conditional case list window and case details spread window, which provided information of SARS management and shaped a platform for further investigation. Quality control of clinical data was done by the software of SARS Information Real Control.Conclusions XTSH information system collected complete data of SARS management, which made healthcare, research and policy-making on SARS accessible, and made it possible to share resources and train the professionals.
Objective To study the risk factors and prognosis of hospital acquired pneumonia( HAP)caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii( CRAB) . Methods By a case-control study, the data of 44 cases of HAP caused by CRAB fromJan 2005 to Dec 2007 in Nanfang Hospital were analyzed. 66 cases of HAP caused by Carbapenem-susceptible A. baumannii ( CSAB) were selected randomly at the same time as control. Univariate analysis( T test and chi-square test) and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistics analysis. Results Univariate analysis revealed that five factors associated with the infection caused by CRAB were APACHE Ⅱ score ≥ 16, chronic pulmonary disease ( COPD/ bronchiectasis ) , imipenem/meropenem and fluoroquinolone used 15 days before isolation of CRAB, and early combination therapy of antibiotics. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified two independent factors as APACHEⅡ score ≥16( OR=6. 41, 95% CI 2. 20-18. 67) and imipenem/meropenemused 15 days before isolation of CRAB( OR =6. 33,95% CI 1. 83-21. 87) . Of 44 cases of CRAB infections, 14 patients died and 30 patients survived. Univariate analysis revealed that two factors associated with poor prognosis were organ failure and clinical pulmonary infection score( CPIS) rise after three-day treatment. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, only CPIS rise after three-day treatment ( OR =7. 01, 95% CI 1. 23-40. 03) was an independent predictive factor. Conclusions APACHEⅡ score ≥ 16 and imipenem/meropenem used 15 days before isolation of CRAB were independent risk factors for CRAB infection. CPIS rise after three-day treatment was a predictive factor for the prognosis of CRAB infection.
ObjectivesTo analyze the active areas of real world studies on traditional Chinese medicine in China.MethodsCBM, CNKI, WanFang Data, PubMed and EMbase databases were electronically searched to collect real world studies on traditional Chinese medicine in China from inception to 26th April, 2018. The main research contents (research direction, data sources, and research methods) by Excel were extracted, together with the primary information by BICOMS-2 software and production of the network figures by NetDraw 2.084 software.ResultsEventually, 373 real world studies in traditional Chinese medicine were included, in which the initial one was punished in 2008. The top three ranking of authors involved in real world studies on traditional Chinese were Xie Yanming, Zhuang Yan, Yang Wei, and the top three ranking of institutions were Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, School of Statistics of Renmin University of China, and the PLA Navy General Hospital. The amount of related studies in Beijing accounted for 74.26%. It was found that the active areas involve real world, hospital information system, real world study, drug combination, and propensity score method. In terms of the main studied contents on the use of traditional Chinese medicine in the real world, in which the top three were Fufang Kushen injection, Dengzhanxixin injection, and Shuxuetong injection. Digestive system disease, nervous system disease and cardiovascular disease received the highest attention rate, specifically stroke, coronary heart disease, virus hepatitis and hypertension. 58.18% studies were retrospective studies, 49.60% of the information were from the hospital information system, and 56.30% studies used data mining to carry out statistical analysis.ConclusionsMost real world studies on traditional Chinese medicine are based on HIS, and use data mining to study Chinese medicine preparations. The research attention on Chinese medicine is higher than that of the method of diagnosis and treatment, similarly the Chinese medicine preparations is higher than traditional Chinese medicine. In future, attention should be paid to traditional Chinese medicine, prescription and traditional methods of diagnosis and treatment, such as moxibustion and scraping.
ObjectiveTo investigate the reporting and methodological quality of systematic reviews/ meta-analyses conducted by hospital pharmacists in China, so as to improve the quality of systematic reviews/ meta-analyses in this field. MethodsThe literatures were retrieved from CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, CMCI, PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library from the establishment date to March 17th, 2016. According to the inclusive and exclusive criteria, authors independently screened and extracted the published information. Reporting and methodological quality of included reviews were evaluated by PRIMSA statements and AMSTAR checklists. Data analysis was conducted by using Excel 2013 software and SPSS 20.0 software. ResultsOne thousand and eighteen systematic reviews/ meta-analyses were included, including 871 Chinese literatures and 147 English literatures. The average score of PRIMSA was 18.41±2.84, and the average score of AMSTAR was 7.38±1.28. The main problems of PRIMSA were structured summary, objectives, protocol and registration, additional analyses and funding. The main problems of AMSTAR were priori design, status of publication and list of studies (included and excluded). Univariate analysis showed that some factors could improve the quality of methodology and reporting, including studies in English (P<0.000 1), published after checklists' (P<0.000 1), hospital in higher-level (P<0.000 1), illuminating the funding or interest conflict (P<0.000 1). Pearson analysis indicated that linear correlation were detected between PRISMA scores and AMSTAR scores (P<0.000 1), as well as citations and AMSTAR scores (P=0.045). ConclusionEvidenced-based pharmacy in hospital has developed rapidly, the quality of methodology and reporting have increaseed year by year, but further improvement should be considered in different aspects. The methods to evaluate the clinical application of these systematic reviews/ meta-analyses should be developed in the future.
