ABSTRACT
Blockchain technology has the advantages of decentralization, secure sharing and tamper resistance, and high privacy, which can solve the current problem of sharing electronic medical records in medical institutions in China. A tertiary hospital established an electronic medical record sharing services convenience service platform based on blockchain in collaboration with China mobile gansu company in September 2021. The hardware architecture of the platform consisted of a hospital data warehouse, a local front-end computer and a blockchain platform. The functional architecture included platform front-end services, the blockchain electronic medical record archiving and service platform. The technical architecture included the underlying blockchain, service layer, interface layer and application layer, which was embedded with asymmetric encryption technology, hash algorithm, smart contract and other technical means, ensuring data ownership and on-demand, controllable, real-time and secure sharing of data. Since the operation of the platform in September 2021, as of October 2022, a tertiary hospital had accumulated 21 545 patient medical records on the chain. The overall operation of the platform was smooth, achieving reliable storage and secure sharing of patient electronic medical records, providing reference for further promoting the interconnection trusted sharing of electronic medical records in medical institutions in China.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the effect of pyrroloquinoline quinone(PQQ) on the aging of rat hippocampal neurons induced by D-galactose(D-gal).Methods Hippocampal neurons were cultured in vitro.The aging of the hippocampal neurons was induced by high dose D-gal,PQQ protection were used 30 min before D-gal.The metamorphosis of hippocampal neurons was observed under the microscope.The contents of free radical was measured.The incidence of apoptosis of hippocampus cells was tested with the flow cytometry.The expression of Bax was detected with immunohistochemical staining.Results After the cells cultured in vitro exposed to D-gal,the content of free radical and the expression of Bax of the hippocampal neurons increased.After pretreatment of the cultured neurons with PQQ,the contents of free radical and the expression of Bax decreased,the survival of hippocampal neurons increased.Conclusion PQQ may slow the aging progress of hippocamal neurons induced by D-gal.
ABSTRACT
Clinical data of 23 elderly patients with rectal cancer undergoing trans-sphincteric local resection(TSLR, Mason's operation)were retrospectively analyzed. All the 23 patients were followed-up for three to seven years after operation, 18 with normal or good fecal continence(78%), five just in fair condition(22%)and none in fecal incontinence. Three-year survival was 83 percent(19/23)and 5-year survival was 78 percent(18/23)for them. It is suggested that TSLR is a safe, feasible and effective treatment for middle and low rectal cancer in the elderly with a long term survival and satisfactory quality of life.
