Within the context of the "Healthy China Strategy" and the "Biology-Psychology-Society" medical model, the goals, content and methods of medical education have undergone tremendous changes. To keep up with the pace of development of medical technology and medical concepts, medical education requires major reforms, and medical teaching models requires reconstruction. Based on previous investigations and discussions and considering the West China medical education as an example, this paper summarizes the difficulties that will be faced in the transformation and reform of modern medical education and discusses and analyzes the future direction of medical education reform.
Peripheral exudative hemorrhagic chorioretinopathy (PEHCR) is a peripheral retinal disease characterized by subretinal hemorrhage and/or subretinal pigment epithelial hemorrhage or exudation. It is often misdiagnosed as age-related macular degeneration, polypoidal chorioretinopathy or choroidal melanoma. With the development of multimodal imaging, PEHCR has different features under different examinations, such as B-scan ultrasound, fluorescein fundus angiography, optical coherence tomography and so on, which contributes to differention from other diseases. Clinical treatments for the disease include intravitreal injection of retinal photocoagulation therapy, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, pars plana vitrectomyand so on, but there is still no universal consensus. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the clinical features, treatment options and prognosis of PEHCR, minimize missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses, and improve treatment efficiency, further research is required.
Objective To review the adverse event of hysterectomy caused by postoperative infection after cesarean section, formulate prevention and control strategies in combination with risk assessment tools, promote the standardization of perioperative management, reduce the medical burden on pregnant women, and improve patient satisfaction. Methods The two adverse events of hysterectomy caused by postoperative infection after cesarean section that occurred in the obstetrics ward between October and November 2024 were selected as the research objects. A root cause analysis and risk assessment team composed of personnel from multiple departments was established. Through interviews, observations, and data review, the potential failure modes and causes were sorted out. The risk priority number (RPN) was calculated to determine the high-risk factors. Improvement strategies were formulated and implemented. After two-month implementation, the RPN scores and the compliance of various measures before and after the implementation were compared. Results Before the improvement, the total RPN of the healthcare failure mode and effects analysis was 367.8. When rechecked in January 2025, the total RPN after the improvement dropped to 105.7, and no serious adverse events occurred again. The compliance and passing rates of various operations significantly increased: the intervention rate for maternal malnutrition rose from 17.5% to 48.6%, the passing rate of appropriate timing for prophylactic use of antimicrobial agents before surgery increased from 50.5% to 81.0%, the compliance rate of scrubbing the vagina with disinfectant before surgery increased from 15.0% to 60.0%, the implementation rate of standardized skin disinfection during surgery rose from 66.7% to 95.2%, the passing rate of aseptic techniques and hand hygiene operations during surgery increased from 75.0% to 95.2%, and the timely submission rate of specimens from infected patients increased from 29.4% to 47.6%, and all these differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis and root cause analysis can effectively improve adverse events during the perioperative period, optimize the perioperative management of cesarean section, and reduce the risk of infection.
Objective To provide references and recommendations about emergency physician training for our country by analyzing the characteristics of emergency physicians training objective, subject, process, content, appraisal and assessment in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. Methods Such databases as Ovid, Proquest, MDConsoult and relevant websites of national emergency medicine were searched to include literature covering guidelines and documents on emergency education and training in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. According to the evidence-based scientific principles and methods, we graded and analyzed the included information. Results A total of 40 articles were included, covering 12 guidelines and documents, 2 reviews and 26 research documents. Each of the four countries owned a sound emergency specialist training access system especially on how they used competency as the core to design the training content, courses and appraisal and assessment system to improve overall ability and quality of emergency physicians. Conclusion Our country’s emergency physician training certainly has lagged behind those of the developed countries. We should learn from positive experience of the developed countries to standardize emergency physician training, improve the emergency physician training content and curriculum, strengthen access management and the construction of appraisal system, and cultivate the competency of emergency physicians.
The operation process of a hospital is a process of resource consumption. In order to compensate the cost of consumption, it is necessary to develop a reasonable pricing mechanism of medical services. This paper discusses the pricing mechanism of medical service from the aspects of researches on the pricing mechanism of medical service in Chinese mainland, the enlightenment of the application of the pricing mechanism of medical service in Hong Kong and Taiwan, China, as well as foreign countries, and the practice of hospital price management, so as to make suggestions on the reasonable formulation of the pricing mechanism of medical service.
Objective To observe the multimodal image features of inflammatory lesions and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in multifocal choroiditis (MFC). MethodsA retrospective clinical analysis. A total of 90 eyes of 46 patients with MFC diagnosed in the Department of Ophthalmology of Yunnan University Affiliated Hospital from May 2017 to April 2021 were included in the study. Among them, there were 21 males and 25 females; the average age was 38.30±8.97 years old. Twenty-nine cases of MFC were diagnosed in the past, and they visited the doctor again due to new symptoms; 17 cases without a clear past medical history were the first visits. All eyes underwent color fundus photography, fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA). With reference to the literature and the results of multimodal fundus imaging examinations, MFC lesions were divided into active CNV lesions, inactive CNV lesions, active inflammatory lesions, and inactive inflammatory lesions, with 31 (34.4%, 31/90), 12 (13.3%, 12/90), 26 (28.9%, 26/90), 90 (100.0%, 90/90) eyes. Nineteen eyes were treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs. To summarize and analyze the manifestations of inflammatory lesions and CNV lesions in different imaging examinations. The Wilcoxon rank test was used to compare the detection rate of CNV lesions between FFA and OCTA. ResultsIn eyes with active inflammatory lesions and active CNV lesions, yellow-white lesions, retinal hemorrhage and exudation were seen on fundus color photography; FFA examination showed fluorescein leakage in the lesions; OCT examination showed retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer in the lesions was uplifted, the boundary was unclear, combined with subretinal and intraretinal fluid; OCTA examination showed that there was no blood flow signal in each layer of vascular tissue in active inflammatory lesions, and blood flow signals were seen in active CNV lesions. In the eyes of inactive inflammatory lesions and inactive CNV lesions, the fundus color photography showed that the lesions had clear boundaries without bleeding or exudation; FFA examination, the lesions were fluorescently stained, and there was no fluorescein leakage; OCT examination, inactive CNV lesions manifested as raised lesions with clear boundaries, and inactive inflammation manifested as scars formed by mild RPE hyperplasia or depressions in outer structures formed by atrophy; OCTA examination, inactive inflammatory lesions showed patchy loss of blood flow signal or penetrating blood flow signal below, blood flow signal can be seen in inactive CNV lesions. ConclusionMFC active inflammatory lesions and active CNV lesions are often accompanied by retinal hemorrhage and exudation; FFA shows fluorescein leakage; OCT shows that the boundary of raised lesions is unclear; OCTA can identify the nature of CNV or inflammatory lesions.
Improving the rate of pathogen examination before antibiotic treatment is of great significance for clarifying pathogen diagnosis and curbing bacterial resistance, and is also one of the important goals for improving national medical quality and safety. In response to the current problem of low pathogen examination rates, Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital adopts a FOCUS-PDCA model, has explored measures such as current situation investigation, root cause analysis, intervention plan formulation, countermeasure implementation, and effect evaluation to improve the rate of pathogen examination before antibiotic treatment in inpatients. This article mainly elaborates on the above model, which has practical significance for ensuring the rational use of antibiotics in inpatients.

We described our understanding of EBM, the ‘three principles＇ and ‘five steps＇ to practice it. EBM is an embodiment of human moral rule and axiom in clinical medicine; it is an advanced clinical model and medical practical methodology; it results from a basis of developed and perfected clinical research methodology, best evidence database, information technology. We also discussed the relationship between EBM and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） modernization. The definition of modernization of TCM was suggested as scientifical standardization and internationalization. TCM theory in fact is not a basic but a clinical practice theory. EBM model should become the standard model of TCM practice to accelarate the standardization of TCM diagnostic technique and therapy. The key is not try to explain TCM theories with modern medical theroies, but work out common effectiveness evaluation criteria. Only when the effectiveness is intemationally acknowledged, can TCM be internationalized.
