Learn from the best hospitals: a comparison of the mission, vision and values.

BACKGROUND: The hospital's mission, vision, and values are the core of the hospital's culture and the most profound expression of the hospital's culture. Although there have been many comparative studies on the mission, vision and values of organizations in the past, there have been few studies on the mission, vision and values of hospitals in the healthcare field. The purpose is to understand how the world's top hospitals develop the use of mission, vision and values in their "day-to-day management" and this may help other hospitals to develop their mission, vision and value effectively. METHODS: This paper collects and discusses the approaches of the world's top five hospitals in mission, vision and value through a qualitative analysis method. Documents for the study were collected from the publicly available information of the five hospitals, including their websites, annual reports, and relevant academic literature published in English on Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline, and Web of Science. RESULTS: These five hospitals have similarities and differences in the development of their missions, visions and values, which are worthy of study by other hospitals. The setting of a mission is a useful reflection of the hospital's focus and direction showing the social responsibility and sustainability of the hospital. The development of a vision has a guiding role in the equity and development of patients and employees and can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of hospital management and ensure the quality of services. The elaboration of values can greatly help hospitals to develop strategic plans and improve daily management. CONCLUSION: The top five hospitals in the world have several common valuable cultures in their missions, visions, and values, regardless of the properties of the hospitals or their management models. In addition, each hospital also has some enlightening descriptions that reflect their particularities.

Enhancing the settling time estimation of fixed-time stability and applying it to the predefined-time synchronization of delayed memristive neural networks with external unknown disturbance.

This paper concentrates on the global predefined-time synchronization of delayed memristive neural networks with external unknown disturbance via an observer-based active control. First, a global predefined-time stability theorem based on a non-negative piecewise Lyapunov function is proposed, which can obtain more accurate upper bound of the settling time estimation. Subsequently, considering the delayed memristive neural networks with disturbance, a disturbance-observer is designed to approximate the external unknown disturbance in the response system with a Hurwitz theorem and then to eliminate the influence of the unknown disturbance. With the help of global predefined-time stability theorem, the predefined-time synchronization is achieved between two delayed memristive neural networks via an active control Lyapunov function design. Finally, two numerical simulations are performed, and the results are given to show the correctness and feasibility of the predefined-time stability theorem.

Establishment and development of national community-based collaborative innovation demonstration areas to achieve the control target of hepatitis B in China.

BACKGROUND: The major infectious diseases of hepatitis B has constituted an acute public health challenge in China. An effective and affordable HBV control model is urgently needed. A national project of Community-based Collaborative Innovation HBV (CCI-HBV) demonstration areas has optimized the existing community healthcare resources and obtained initial results in HBV control. METHODS: Based on the existing community healthcare network, CCI-HBV project combined the community health management and health contract signing service for long-staying residents in hepatitis B screening. Moreover, HBV field research strategy was popularized in CCI-HBV areas. After screening, patients with seropositive results were enrolled in corresponding cohorts and received treatment at an early stage. And the uninfected people received medical supports including health education through new media, behavior intervention and HBV vaccinations. In this process, a cloud-based National Information Platform (NIP) was established to collect and store residents' epidemiological data. In addition, a special quality control team was set up for CCI project. RESULTS: After two rounds of screening, HBsAg positive rate dropped from 5.05% (with 5,173,003 people screened) to 4.57% (with 3,819,675 people screened), while the rate of new HBV infections was 0.28 per 100 person-years in the fixed cohorts of 2,584,322 people. The quality control team completed PPS sampling simultaneously and established the serum sample database with 2,800,000 serum samples for unified testing. CONCLUSIONS: CCI-HBV project has established a large-scale field research to conduct whole-population screening and intervention. We analyzed the HBsAg prevalence and new infection rate of HBV in the fixed population for the epidemic trend and intervention effect. The purpose of CCI-HBV project is to establish and evaluate a practical model of grid management and field strategy, to realize the new goal to control hepatitis B in China. To provide policymakers with a feasible model, our results are directly applicable. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The project was funded by the Major Projects of Science Research for the 11th and 12th five-year plans of China, entitled "The prevention and control of AIDS, viral hepatitis and other major infectious diseases", Grant Nos. 2009ZX10004901, 2011ZX10004901, 2013ZX10004904, 2014ZX10004007 and 2014ZX10004008.

Molecular characterization of a genetically divergent equine pegivirus strain identified in China.

Equine pegivirus (EPgV) is a newly discovered equine virus, which is taxonomically classified in the Pegivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family. Until now, only the complete genome sequence of the first reported EPgV strain, from the USA (strain name: C0035) is available on online databases. Considering this, horse serum samples were collected from horses in China and screened for EPgV RNA by RT-PCR. One EPgV strain, LW/2016, was obtained and its near-complete genome sequence was acquired by standard PCR. Further analysis of its nucleotide sequence indicates LW/2016 is genetically divergent from C0035, with a nucleotide identity of 89.02%. These two viruses clustered into two independent branches following phylogenetic analysis of on the NS3 and NS5B genes. To our knowledge, this is the first report of genetic divergence in the EPgV genome.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of endocrine-related adverse events associated with interferon.

Objectives: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of interferon and endocrine side effects, including their incidence, evaluation, and management. Methods: PubMed was searched through March 7th, 2021, by 2 authors independently (LH Wang and H Zhao). Early phase I/II, phase III experimental trials, prospective and retrospective observational studies were included. Stata 16.0 (StataCorp LLC, 16.0) was the main statistical software for meta-analysis. The weighted incidence and risk ratio were estimated for primary thyroid disease and diabetes mellitus. Results: A total of 108 studies involving 46265 patients were included. Hypothyroidism was the most common thyroid disorder, followed by hyperthyroidism. IFN α+RBV treated patients experienced hypothyroidism in 7.8% (95%CI, 5.9-9.9), which was higher than IFN α (5.2%; 95%CI, 3.7-6.8) and IFN ß (7.0%; 95%CI, 0.06-23.92). IFN α+RBV treated patients experienced hyperthyroidism in 5.0% (95%CI, 3.6-6.5), which was higher than IFN α (3.5%; 95%CI, 2.5-4.8) and IFN ß (3.4%; 95%CI, 0.9-7.5). The summary estimated incidence of painless thyroiditis was 5.8% (95%CI, 2.8-9.8) for IFN α, and 3.5% (95%CI,1.9-5.5) for IFN α+RBV. The summary estimated incidence of diabetes was 1.4% (95%CI, 0.3-3.1) for IFN, 0.55% (95%CI, 0.05-1.57) for IFN α, 3.3% (95%CI,1.1-6.6) for IFN α+RBV. Conclusions: Our meta-analysis shows a high incidence of endocrine adverse events provoked by IFN, further reinforced by combined RBV treatment.

Factors Predicting Progression to Severe COVID-19: A Competing Risk Survival Analysis of 1753 Patients in Community Isolation in Wuhan, China.

Most studies of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) progression have focused on the transfer of patients within secondary or tertiary care hospitals from regular wards to intensive care units. Little is known about the risk factors predicting the progression to severe COVID-19 among patients in community isolation, who are either asymptomatic or suffer from only mild to moderate symptoms. Using a multivariable competing risk survival analysis, we identify several important predictors of progression to severe COVID-19-rather than to recovery-among patients in the largest community isolation center in Wuhan, China from 6 February 2020 (when the center opened) to 9 March 2020 (when it closed). All patients in community isolation in Wuhan were either asymptomatic or suffered from mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms. We performed competing risk survival analysis on time-to-event data from a cohort study of all COVID-19 patients (n = 1753) in the isolation center. The potential predictors we investigated were the routine patient data collected upon admission to the isolation center: age, sex, respiratory symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, general symptoms, and computed tomography (CT) scan signs. The main outcomes were time to severe COVID-19 or recovery. The factors predicting progression to severe COVID-19 were: male sex (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-1.58, p = 0.018), young and old age, dyspnea (HR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.24-2.01, p < 0.001), and CT signs of ground-glass opacity (HR = 1.39, 95% CI 1.04-1.86, p = 0.024) and infiltrating shadows (HR = 1.84, 95% CI 1.22-2.78, p = 0.004). The risk of progression was found to be lower among patients with nausea or vomiting (HR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.30-0.96, p = 0.036) and headaches (HR = 0.54, 95% CI 0.29-0.99, p = 0.046). Our results suggest that several factors that can be easily measured even in resource-poor settings (dyspnea, sex, and age) can be used to identify mild COVID-19 patients who are at increased risk of disease progression. Looking for CT signs of ground-glass opacity and infiltrating shadows may be an affordable option to support triage decisions in resource-rich settings. Common and unspecific symptoms (headaches, nausea, and vomiting) are likely to have led to the identification and subsequent community isolation of COVID-19 patients who were relatively unlikely to deteriorate. Future public health and clinical guidelines should build on this evidence to improve the screening, triage, and monitoring of COVID-19 patients who are asymtomatic or suffer from mild to moderate symptoms.

Attitudes Toward the Global Allocation of Chinese COVID-19 Vaccines: Cross-sectional Online Survey of Adults Living in China.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 vaccines are in short supply worldwide. China was among the first countries to pledge supplies of the COVID-19 vaccine as a global public product, and to date, the country has provided more than 600 million vaccines to more than 200 countries and regions with low COVID-19 vaccination rates. Understanding the public's attitude in China toward the global distribution of COVID-19 vaccines could inform global and national decisions, policies, and debates. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes of adults living in China regarding the global allocation of COVID-19 vaccines developed in China and how these attitudes vary across provinces and by sociodemographic characteristics. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey among adults registered with the survey company KuRunData. The survey asked participants 31 questions about their attitudes regarding the global allocation of COVID-19 vaccines developed in China. We disaggregated responses by province and sociodemographic characteristics. All analyses used survey sampling weights. RESULTS: A total of 10,000 participants completed the questionnaire. Participants generally favored providing COVID-19 vaccines to foreign countries before fulfilling domestic needs (75.6%, 95% CI 74.6%-76.5%). Women (3778/4921, 76.8%; odds ratio 1.18, 95% CI 1.07-1.32; P=.002) and those living in rural areas (3123/4065, 76.8%; odds ratio 1.13, 95% CI 1.01-1.27; P=.03) were especially likely to hold this opinion. Most respondents preferred providing financial support through international platforms rather than directly offering support to individual countries (72.1%, 95% CI 71%-73.1%), while for vaccine products they preferred direct provision to relevant countries instead of via a delivery platform such as COVAX (77.3%, 95% CI 76.3%-78.2%). CONCLUSIONS: Among our survey sample, we found that adults are generally supportive of the international distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, which may encourage policy makers to support and implement the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines developed in China worldwide. Conducting similar surveys in other countries could help align policy makers' actions on COVID-19 vaccine distribution with the preferences of their constituencies.

Animated, video entertainment-education to improve vaccine confidence globally during the COVID-19 pandemic: an online randomized controlled experiment with 24,000 participants.

BACKGROUND: Science-driven storytelling and entertainment-education (E-E) media demonstrate potential for promoting improved attitudes and behavioral intent towards health-related practices. Months after the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerging research highlights the essential role of interventions to improve public confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine. To improve vaccine confidence, we designed three short, animated videos employing three research-informed pedagogical strategies. These can be distributed globally through social media platforms, because of their wordless and culturally accessible design. However, the effectiveness of short, animated storytelling videos, deploying various pedagogic strategies, needs to be explored across different global regions. METHODS/DESIGN: The present study is a multi-site, parallel group, randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the effectiveness of (i) a storytelling-instructional-humor approach, (ii) a storytelling-analogy approach, (iii) a storytelling-emotion-focused approach, and (iv) no video. For our primary outcomes, we will measure vaccine hesitancy, and for secondary outcomes, we will measure behavioral intent to seek vaccination and hope. Using online platforms, we will recruit 12,000 participants (aged 18-59 years) from the USA and China, respectively, yielding a total sample size of 24,000. DISCUSSION: This trial uses innovative online technology, reliable randomization algorithms, validated survey instruments, and list experiments to establish the effectiveness of three short, animated videos employing various research-informed pedagogical strategies. Results will be used to scientifically support the broader distribution of these short, animated video as well as informing the design of future videos for rapid, global public health communication.

Prevalence of depression in China during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study in an online survey sample.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine (1) the prevalence of depression during the COVID-19 pandemic among Chinese adults and (2) how depression prevalence varied by province and sociodemographic characteristics. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: National online survey in China. PARTICIPANTS: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey among adults registered with the survey company KuRunData from 8 May 2020 to 8 June 2020. We aimed to recruit 300-360 adults per province (n=14 493), with a similar distribution by sex and rural-urban residency as the general population within each of these provinces. PRIMARY OUTCOME: Participants completed the Patient Health Questionaire-9 (PHQ-9). We calculated the prevalence of depression (defined as a PHQ-9 score ≥10) nationally and separately for each province. ANALYSIS: Covariate-unadjusted and covariate-adjusted logistic regression models were used to examine how the prevalence of depression varied by adults' sociodemographic characteristics. All analyses used survey sampling weights. RESULTS: The survey was initiated by 14 493 participants, with 10 000 completing all survey questions and included in the analysis. The prevalence of depression in the national sample was 6.3% (95% CI 5.7% to 6.8%). A higher odds of depression was associated with living in an urban area (OR 1.50; 95% CI 1.18 to 1.90) and working as a nurse (OR 3.06; 95% CI 1.41 to 6.66). A lower odds of depression was associated with participants who had accurate knowledge of COVID-19 transmission prevention actions (OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.51 to 0.98), the knowledge that saliva is a main transmission route (OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.64 to 0.99) and awareness of COVID-19 symptoms (OR, 0.82; 95% CI 0.68 to 1.00). CONCLUSION: Around one in 20 adults in our online survey sample had a PHQ-9 score suggestive of depression. Interventions and policies to prevent and treat depression during the COVID-19 pandemic in China may be particularly needed for nurses and those living in urban areas.

The impact of long-term care insurance in China on beneficiaries and caregivers: A systematic review.

BACKGROUND: China's long-term care insurance (LTCI) policy has been minimally evaluated. This systematic review aimed to assess the impact of China's LTCI pilot on beneficiaries and their caregivers. METHODS: This review is based on a search of peer-reviewed studies in English (Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science) and Chinese (China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI], VIP, Wanfang) databases from January 2016 through July 2020, with all studies published in English or Chinese included. We included quantitative analyses of beneficiary-level data that assessed the impact of LTCI on beneficiaries and their caregivers, with no restriction placed on the outcomes studied. RESULTS: Nine studies met our inclusion criteria. One study was a randomised trial and two used quasi-experimental approaches. Four studies examined LTCI's effect on beneficiaries' quality of life, physical pain, and health service utilisation; one study reported the effect on beneficiaries' healthcare expenditures; and one study evaluated the impact on caregivers' care tasks. These studies generally found LTCI to be associated with an improvement in patients' quality of life (including decreased physical pain), a reduction in the number of outpatient visits and hospitalisations, decreased patient-level health expenditures (e.g. one study reported a reduction in the length of stay, inpatient expenditures, and health insurance expenditures in tertiary hospitals by 41.0%, 17.7%, and 11.4%, respectively), and reduced informal care tasks for caregivers. In addition, four out of four studies that evaluated this outcome found that beneficiaries' overall satisfaction with LTCI was high. CONCLUSION: The current evidence base for the effects of LTCI in China on beneficiaries and their caregivers is sparse. Nonetheless, the existing studies suggest that LTCI has positive effects on beneficiaries and their caregivers. Further rigorous research on the impacts of LTCI in China is needed to inform the future expansion of the program.

Spontaneous fundus lesions in elderly monkeys: An ideal model for age-related macular degeneration and high myopia clinical research.

AIMS: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and high myopia are frequent causes of progressive visual impairment, so it is critical to identify animal models with resembling human retinal physiology, AMD and high myopia pathological features for therapeutic studies. MAIN METHODS: We screened elderly cynomolgus monkeys for fundus lesions by slit-lamp biomicroscope combined with fundus pre-set lens and further examined positive cases by color fundus photography (CFP), optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), streak retinoscopy, and A-scan ultrasonography. KEY FINDINGS: Among the 156 animals examined, 10 males and 5 females (30 eyes) exhibited fundus abnormalities (9.6% prevalence). Multi-modal imaging revealed drusen in 20 eyes of 11 animals (prevalence rate of 7.1%), tessellated fundus in 22 eyes of 11 animals, and myopia choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in 4 eyes of 3 animals. SIGNIFICANCE: Aged cynomolgus monkeys exhibit spontaneous fundus lesions resembling human AMD and high myopia, which could be an ideal model for clinical research.

Migration of pre-induced human peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the transplanted to contralateral eye in mice.

BACKGROUND: Retina diseases may lead to blindness as they often afflict both eyes. Stem cell transplantation into the affected eye(s) is a promising therapeutic strategy for certain retinal diseases. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) are a good source of stem cells, but it is unclear whether pre-induced hPBMCs can migrate from the injected eye to the contralateral eye for bilateral treatment. We examine the possibility of bilateral cell transplantation from unilateral cell injection. METHODS: One hundred and sixty-one 3-month-old retinal degeneration 1 (rd1) mice were divided randomly into 3 groups: an untreated group (n = 45), a control group receiving serum-free Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) injection into the right subretina (n = 45), and a treatment group receiving injection of pre-induced hPBMCs into the right subretina (n = 71). Both eyes were examined by full-field electroretinogram (ERG), immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) at 1 and 3 months post-injection. RESULTS: At both 1 and 3 months post-injection, labeled pre-induced hPBMCs were observed in the retinal inner nuclear layer of the contralateral (left untreated) eye as well as the treated eye as evidenced by immunofluorescence staining for a human antigen. Flow cytometry of fluorescently label cells and qRT-PCR of hPBMCs genes confirmed that transplanted hPBMCs migrated from the treated to the contralateral untreated eye and remained viable for up to 3 months. Further, full-field ERG showed clear light-evoked a and b waves in both treated and untreated eyes at 3 months post-transplantation. Labeled pre-induced hPBMCs were also observed in the contralateral optic nerve but not in the blood circulation, suggesting migration via the optic chiasm. CONCLUSION: It may be possible to treat binocular eye diseases by unilateral stem cell injection.

A novel lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA competitive endogenous RNA network for uveal melanoma prognosis constructed by weighted gene co-expression network analysis.

AIMS: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common and aggressive intraocular tumor in adults, and long-term survival of UM patients remains poor. Abnormal competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks promote the initiation and progression of many tumors and may thus serve as useful prognostic indicators. Here, we do a comprehensive analysis of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA ceRNA networks as prognostic markers for UM. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Cancer Genome Atlas UM dataset was used to identify survival-related mRNA and lncRNA modules through weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Prognostic miRNAs were identified using univariate Cox proportional hazard regression. We then used Cox and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression to screen for prognostic hub mRNAs and establish a hub ceRNA network. A nomogram of five hub mRNAs was constructed and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis performed. KEY FINDINGS: Six mRNA modules were constructed, two of which involved 1490 mRNAs that significantly correlated with survival. Among the three lncRNA modules constructed, one involved 199 survival-related lncRNAs. Five hub prognostic mRNAs were identified and a hub ceRNA network constructed, consisting of six lncRNAs, four miRNAs, and five mRNAs, with high prognostic value. SIGNIFICANCE: We describe a hub ceRNA network of survival-associated lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNA that may underlie a critical post-translational regulatory mechanism determining UM aggression. These hub RNAs may be valuable prognostic markers and therapeutic targets in UM.

Comparison of Pathogenicity of Different Infectious Doses of H3N2 Canine Influenza Virus in Dogs.

The canine influenza virus (CIV) outbreaks have raised concerns as they pose a threat to the health of dogs. The successful construction of a canine influenza (CI) infection model is essential to study the CIV. Here we investigated the pathogenicity of different infectious doses of H3N2 CIV in Beagle dogs. Thirty-seven healthy Beagle dogs were used in the experiment and were infected with 103, 104, 105, and 106 50% egg-infectious doses (EID50). Compared to the dogs in the other three groups, those in the 106 EID50 group presented with obvious clinical symptoms, high virus titer, and typical pathological changes. Considering the ensemble of clinical scores, body temperature, virus shedding, lung lesions, pathological section scores, and visceral virus titers, we determined that 106 EID50 is the minimum infectious dose for the Beagle infection model. The other three infectious doses had almost no clinical symptoms. These results indicate that 106 EID50 is the minimum infectious dose of H3N2 CIV that can cause obvious clinical manifestations and pathological changes associated with CI in Beagle dogs. The theoretical framework developed in this research will guide the establishment of an infection model of CIV for future research.

Comparative pathogenesis of H3N2 canine influenza virus in beagle dogs challenged by intranasal and intratracheal inoculation.

As important companion animals, dogs may serve as intermediate hosts for transmitting influenza virus to humans. However, knowledge regarding H3N2 canine influenza virus (CIV) pathogenicity is not comprehensive, which directly affects the animal models of pathogenicity in H3N2 CIV vaccine research. Here, to assess H3N2 CIV pathogenicity, we utilized 30 ten-week-old purpose-bred beagles intratracheally or intranasally inoculated with 106 50% egg-infectious dose. Intratracheal inoculation was more virulent to dogs than intranasal inoculation as shown by lung pathology score, histopathological changes, clinical symptoms, and body temperature. More intense virus replication was observed in the upper and lower respiratory tracts by intratracheal than intranasal inoculation according to nasal swabs, various organ virus titers, and antigen expression. These results may enhance the H3N2 CIV infection model, providing a more complete experimental basis for studying intrinsic H3N2 CIV pathogenic mechanism, and also serving a reference role for CIV prevention and treatment.

Identification and genetic characterization of hepacivirus and pegivirus in commercial equine serum products in China.

Equine hepacivirus (EqHV), equine pegivirus (EPgV) and Theiler's disease-associated virus (TDAV) are three novel equine viruses in the family Flaviviridae. EqHV and EPgV have been identified to circulate in the equine population worldwide, whereas TDAV has not been detected in equines since the first reported case. To date, no studies have focused on investigating EqHV, EPgV and TDAV in commercial equine sera or equine blood products in China. Considering the potential threat of EqHV, EPgV and TDAV to biosecurity and considering their possible influences on research results, equine sera for cell culture propagation and pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) were purchased from different companies in China and investigated for EqHV, EPgV and TDAV in this study. By performing nested PCR or two rounds of PCR targeting the viral NS3 gene, four serum samples were confirmed to be EqHV-, EPgV-, or TDAV-RNA positive; all of the PMSG samples were negative for these three viruses. Subsequent sequencing results indicated that the serum samples contained multiple viral variants of EqHV, EPgV or TDAV, and a genetic analysis based on the partial NS3 gene of the three equine viruses was performed. Our study is the first to confirm the presence of EqHV, EPgV and TDAV in equine sera for cell culture propagation that is commercially available in China and provides the first demonstration of the presence of TDAV in China.
