OBJECTIVE This paper is aimed to observe the long-term result of reconstruction of wrist joint by replacing distal end of radius with vascularized fibular head in patient of giant tumor. METHODS From July 1978 to November 1993, 12 cases of giant tumor of distal end of radius were treated by this procedure and followed up for 6 months to 15 years, and the movement range of wrist, grip strength, and pain were evaluated. RESULTS The painful wrist released in 11 cases, only one case still existed mild pain and felt discomfortable. The average range of movement of wrist joint was 34.05 degree in volar flexion, 52.80 degree in dorsal extension, 26.25 degree in ulnar deviation, and 19.75 degree in radial deviation, and average grip strength was 44.6 kg. Compared with the contralateral side, there were accounted for 46.2%, 72.7%, 76.1%, 80.6%, and 76.7% respectively. CONCLUSION Replacement of distal end of radius with fibular head to reconstruct wrist joint can restore function of carpal joint, which is proved to be a safe and effective method.
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 We searched for evidence on mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) as a treatment for patients with diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis. Methods We attempted to find the current best evidence by searching The Cochrane Library(Issue 4, 2005), MEDLINE(1990 to June 2007), CMB(1980 to December 2006), CNKI(1979 to October 2007). We critically appraised the available evidence. Results Four systematic reviews and 6 randomized controlled trials of high quality were available. MMF and prednisolone were found to be an effective continuous induction-maintenance treatment for diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis. MMF was associated with less drug toxicity. Conclusion Given the current evidence and our clinical experience, and considering the patient and the values and preferences of his family,MMF was given at 1 g daily in combination with steroids at the beginning. No obvious adverse effects occurred during 3 months of follow-up.
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 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.
Through reviewing the implementation of outpatient appointment services around the whole country, the problems of current outpatient appointment services were analyzed, which included imperfect information platform, low rate of medical experts’ visit on schedule, high rate of breaking the appointment by outpatients, and the new inequity caused by opaque information on the outpatient appointment service. The strategies were put forward to address the problems, including the integration of different social resources, cooperation and sharing, enhancing supervision to increase experts’ visit rate, establishing a new model for outpatient appointment service to decrease the breaking of appointment, and opening information to ensure the fair and impartial appointment.
This article introduces the exploration and establishment of “grass-roots Party building + targeted poverty alleviation” model by the Party Branch of Emergency Department of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and discusses how to establish the “trinity mode” of management support, personnel training, and on-site guidance under the leading of grass-roots Party building through a series of the branches combined activities, according to the core idea of “strengthening the Party construction, bringing people closer together, and promoting development”. The aim is to form a long-term mechanism of grass-roots Party building and targeted medical poverty alleviation through continuously implementing this model, which can benefit more people in remote and ethnic minority areas and contribute to “Healthy China 2030”.
ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence of depression and anxiety of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated coronary artery disease before and after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. MethodsA total of 114 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated coronary artery disease patients were enrolled in this study and were measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale before and after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. ResultsA total of 71 patients (62.3%) had depression symptom and 68 patients (59.6%) had anxiety symptom before percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. There were 46 patients (40.4%) had significant depression symptom and 40 patients (35.1%) had significant anxiety symptom before percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. A total of 85 patients (74.6%) had depression symptom and 83 patients (72.8%) had anxiety symptom after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. There were 60 patients (52.6%) had significant depression symptom and 48 patients (42.1%) had significant anxiety symptom after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting. There was significant difference in prevalence rate of depression and anxiety before and after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting (P < 0.05). ConclusionsThe patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated coronary artery disease show higher prevalence of depression and anxiety. The prevalence of depression and anxiety increases significantly after percutaneous intracoronary arterial stenting.
