ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the basic situation of developing pharmacy outpatient departments in Chinese tertiary medical institutions and analyze the influencing factors. METHODS The research targeted the pharmacy outpatient department managers of hospitals and conducted a survey through Sojump in March 2023. Various independent variables were selected from the hospital’s own characteristics, the management of the pharmacy outpatient departments, and the construction of the pharmacist team for Logistic and linear regression analysis, with the aim of separately analyzing the factors influencing the establishment of pharmacy outpatient departments and the factors affecting the total number of patients served by these departments throughout the year 2022. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 1 304 medical institutions of different levels nationwide participated in this survey, with 714 tertiary hospitals. Among the tertiary hospitals, 377 (52.80%) had established pharmacy outpatient departments, including 321 grade-A tertiary hospitals, 48 grade-B tertiary hospitals and 8 other tertiary hospitals. The 377 tertiary hospitals collectively operated 1 739 pharmacy outpatient departments, covering 19 specialized fields, with the highest proportion found in the cardiovascular field (including anticoagulation) at 16.45%. Tertiary hospitals in North China, Central China, East China and South China regions had more pharmacy outpatient departments. The establishment of pharmacy outpatient departments was found to be influenced by tertiary grade-B status (P=0.010) and the annual outpatient volume of the hospital (P=0.008), although the impact was relatively small. The factors influencing the number of patients served by pharmacy outpatient departments were the annual outpatient volume of the hospital (P=0.042) and the number of pharmacists engaged in clinical pharmacy work (P=0.004). The proportion of tertiary hospitals in China that have established pharmacy outpatient departments is insufficient. It is necessary to further accelerate the construction of pharmacy outpatient departments and appropriately expand the talent pool of hospital pharmacy teams based on the needs of pharmacy outpatient departments and patients, in order to meet the requirements of medical practice and patient care.
ABSTRACT
[Objective]To explore residents'science popularization status of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and its influential factors,and provid scientific suggestions for the formulation of strategies and methods of TCM science popularization,taking Sanfu herbal patch(SHP)as an example.[Methods]Online questionnaires and Logistic regression analysis were applied to study residents'cognition,behavior and willingness on SHP and its influential factors,and explor the effective strategies and methods of TCM science popularization.[Results]Residents'cognitive accuracy rates of SHP's efficacy in treating diseases were 22.9%for bronchitis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,21.4%for rhinitis,19.3%for health care and immunity enhancement,and those of treatment methods were 35.0%for the reimbursement by medical insurance and 20.3%for the number of medication per course.Only 7.8%of residents experienced the treatment.Ways of acquiring SHP knowledge were few,namely,personal communication(26.6%)and internet(22.6%).Patients with underlying diseases,with odds ratio(OR)of 2.44(P<0.05),were the most important factor promoting the cognitive accuracy of diseases that can be treated with SHP.Female(OR=1.70,P<0.01)and insured residents(OR=2.41,P<0.01)were factors that promoted the cognitive accuracy of treatment methods.The demand rate of knowledge was 71.7%,and that of the elderly was 100%;and approval rates of SHP science popularization at home and abroad were 78.2%and 80.0%.[Conclusion]Residents'science knowledge and application level of SHP were low,but their passion to try,learn and communicate it was very high.Therefore,it was suggested to increase the micro education of specific TCM treatments,take female,patients with basic diseases,insured residents and the elderly as starting points,expanding the audience,create diversified paths,and improve the precise implementation of science popularization strategies,so as to improve the health literacy of residents and promote the development of healthy China.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the factors influencing the changes in purchasing quantity in the procurement varieties of the first batch of volume-based drug centralized procurement (hereinafter referred to as centralized procurement). METHODS Using 25 procurement varieties of the “4+7” policy as research objects, the changes in purchasing quantity of procurement varieties were analyzed before and after the implementation of the “4+7” pilot, renewal and expansion policies. The influential factors were determined from the three levels of drugs, medical institutions and regions; and the multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influential factors for the changes in the purchasing quantity of procurement varieties. RESULTS Before and after the implementation of the “4+7” pilot, renewal and expansion policies, the purchasing quantity increased by 52.1, -0.2, 85.8 ten thousand DDDs on average, compared with base period. During pilot, renewal and expansion period, DDDc decrease in procurement varieties was positively correlated with the increase in purchasing quantity (P<0.01). During the pilot and renewal period, the number of absolutely alternative varieties was positively correlated with the increase in purchasing quantity (P<0.1). During the pilot and expansion period, the number of alternative varieties to a certain extent was negatively correlated with the increase in purchasing quantity (P<0.05). During the renewal period, the increment of purchasing quantity in tertiary hospitals was smaller than that of primary medical institutions (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS There is a relationship between the decline of DDDc and the changes in the purchasing quantity, that is, the more the drug price dropped, the more the purchasing quantity increased. The number of alternative varieties for centralized procurement will affect the changes in their purchasing quantity, but it is not always stable. With the implementation of the policy, the volume of primary medical institutions gradually exceeds that of tertiary institutions, indicating that the consumption of centralized purchased varieties is transferred to the primary medical institutions, and centralized procurement has promoted the implementation of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To investigate the status and effect of influenza vaccination among some elderly population and their cognition of influenza vaccination in Shenzhen Pingshan district, and to provide reference for improving the vaccination willingness of the elderly population. METHODS Descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the status quo of influenza vaccination among some elderly populations in Pingshan district; the Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influential factors of influenza vaccination; the serum antibody levels of the elderly population were analyzed before and after influenza vaccination. RESULTS Totally 140 effective survey question naires were collected from elderly. The elderly who participated in the survey had a better cognition of the main transmission mode of the influenza virus, 122 people answered correctly, and the accuracy was 87.1%. Age, knowledge that influenza vaccine should be given once a year and knowledge of Shenzhen’s free vaccination policy were the promoting factors for influenza vaccination behavior among the elderly. The positive rates of the four influenza antibodies (type A H1, type A H3, type B Victoria, type B Yamagata) after inoculation were higher than before inoculation, with statistical significance. The antibody titer levels after vaccination were generally higher than before. CONCLUSIONS The positive rate of antibody testing and antibody titer in the elderly population after influenza vaccination are higher than before, which effectively protects the health of the elderly population. It is necessary to continuously improve the awareness of the elderly population about influenza vaccination and free vaccination policies.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the influential factors for potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) in elderly cancer patients. METHODS The data of elderly cancer patients hospitalized in a hospital from January to December 2021 were collected. According to the Beers standard of the American Geriatrics Society in 2019 (hereinafter referred to as the “2019 version of Beers standard”) and Criteria for Potentially Inappropriate Drug Use in Chinese Elderly (2017 version) (hereinafter referred to as the “Chinese PIM standard”), the PIM status of elderly cancer patients was retrospectively analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify influential factors for PIM. RESULTS A total of 293 patients were included in the study. According to the 2019 version of Beers standard, 211 patients (72.01%) had PIM, of which 204 (69.62%) had PIM related to drugs, 6 (2.05%) had PIM related to diseases or symptoms, 46 (15.70%) had PIM that should be used with caution, 32 (10.92%) had PIM with drug-drug interaction that should be avoided, and 11 (3.75%) had PIM based on renal function; the top 5 drugs in the list of incidence were proton pump inhibitors, metoclopramide, the first-generation antihistamines as promethazine, analgesics as ibuprofen and megestrol. According to the Chinese PIM standard, there were 132 patients (45.05%) with PIM, of which 119 (40.61%) had PIM related to drugs, involving 25 drugs (included 7 high-risk drugs and 18 low-risk drugs), and 24 (8.19%) with PIM in disease status; top 4 drugs in the list of incidence were promethazine, megestrol, ibuprofen and cimetidine. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with patients with hospital stay≤10 days, patients with hospital 20054) stay between 11 and 30 days had a higher risk of PIM [odds ratio (OR)=8.836 8, 95% confidence interval (CI) (3.217 8, 31.940 9), P=0.000 1]; compared with the patients with the 65895198。E-mail:fjman@cmpt.ac.cn number of clinical disease diagnosed≤5, patients with the number of clinical disease diagnosed≥11 had a higher risk of PIM [OR=10.930 1, 95%CI (3.000 9, 70.922 9), P=0.001 8]; compared with surgical treatment, patients receiving antineoplastic drugs had a higher risk of PIM [OR=2.209 5, 95%CI (1.180 2, 4.176 9), P=0.013 6]. CONCLUSIONS Elderly cancer patients have multiple diseases, complicated medication, and a high incidence of PIM. The length of hospital stay (11-30 d), the number of clinical disease diagnosed (≥11) and anti-tumor drugs are main influential factors for PIM in patients.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To explore the grouping efficacy of diagnosis related group (DRG) and the influential factors of hospitalization cost in diabetes cases, and to provide theoretical support for improving DRG payment system, reducing medical cost and enhancing the efficiency of medical insurance funds. METHODS The information of 4 368 diabetic patients who were hospitalized in a 3A hospital in Xi’an from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023 was retrospectively analyzed, and DRG grouping of them was summarized; the hospitalization costs of patients in different DRG groups were analyzed by using one way ANOVA and Bonferroni multiple comparison. Coefficient of variation (CV) was used for evaluation within the group, and the influential factors of hospitalization costs were analyzed by one-way linear regression analysis and multi-factor linear regression analysis. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The CV values of the four DRG groups were all lower than 0.8, indicating good grouping results and good consistency within the group; the difference of hospitalization cost among the four groups was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the hospitalization cost of China Healthcare Security-DRG version 1.1 FW11 group was significantly higher than those of other three groups (P<0.05). Length of stay, drug cost, the number of other diagnoses, test cost and payment method have significant positive effects on the hospitalization cost of diabetic patients. Whether there is pharmacist intervention has a significant negative influence on the hospitalization cost of patients. Under the DRG payment method, medical institutions can consider multidisciplinary linkage and incorporate a variety of management and service tools, including pharmacist’s intervention, to develop refined management measures, to reduce the economic burden of patients’ families and society.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze the influencing factors of stunting among 3 to 4-year-old children in Changning District, Shanghai, in order to provide a scientific basis for early prevention and intervention for stunting. MethodsRandom cluster sampling was employed to select1 514 children from 16 kindergartens in Changning District, Shanghai as the survey subjects. Basic information such as height, weight, perinatal and infant feeding status, diet and lifestyle, as well as parental information was collected. The detection rate of stunting was calculated, and the influencing factors of stunted growth were analyzed. ResultsThe stunting detection rate of the 1 514 children was 5.4%. In terms of family-related factors, parents of stunted children had lower heights and a lower proportion of accessing growth and developmental knowledge from professional platforms compared to parents of non-stunted children (both P<0.05). Among individual-related factors, the proportion of premature birth, low birth weight, short birth length, twin or multiple births, low fruit consumption, vitamin D intake, short outdoor playtime, and frequent nighttime waking was higher in the stunting group than in the control group (P<0.05). Binary logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that shorter parental height (OR=4.35, 95%CI:1.20‒15.84 and OR=3.49, 95%CI:1.43‒8.51), low birth weight (OR=2.99,95%CI:1.28‒7.05), multiple or twin pregnancies (OR=3.78,95%CI:1.29‒11.06), short outdoor playtime during weekends and holidays (OR=2.34,95%CI:1.02‒5.46), frequent nighttime waking (OR=1.89, 95%CI:1.06‒3.39), and consuming fewer fruits daily (OR=1.81, 95%CI: 1.01‒3.26) significantly increased the risk of stunting. ConclusionLow parental height, low birth weight, being twins or multiples, limited outdoor playtime during holidays, frequent nighttime waking, and low daily fruit consumption are major risk factors for stunting in infants and children.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To understan d the c urrent situation and feasibility of payment reform for TCM dominant diseases from the perspective of clinicians ,so as to provide reference for optimizing and improving the reform scheme. METHODS A questionnaire was designed by ourselves ,and a simple random sampling method was used to select clinicians from the pilot hospitals of payment reform for TCM dominant diseases in Guizhou province to conduct a face-to-face questionnaire survey. SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The single-factor analysis and ordered Logistic regression analysis of multi-factor were used to analyze the influential factors of reform feasibility. RESULTS A total of 420 questionnaires were distributed in this survey,and 413 valid questionnaires were recovered ,with an effective rate of 98.3%. Totally 86.0% of the clinicians thought that it was feasible for the reform to be carried out in their hospitals ,and 81.8% thought that the selected TCM dominant diseases in the pilot hospitals were reasonable. After the reform was carried out ,61.0% and 58.8% of clinicians indicated that the daily number of patients treated in their departments and their willingness to communicate with patients increased ,respectively;60.3% indicated that the difficulties and obstacles encountered in the reform were the complexity and diversity of TCM diseases ,for the treatment of patients with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine ,which was difficult to use a unified disease and surgery code to correctly code ;76.3% indicated that the greatest advantage of the reform implementation was the improvement of medical quality ,while 54.2% indicated that the greatest disadvantage was the excessive restriction of doctors ’autonomy. The results of multi-factor ordered Logistic regression analysis showed that changes in treatment services (changes in readmission rate of patient),the reasonableness of the selection of TCM dominant diseases ,and whether to reduce medical costs ,improve doctor-patient relationship , and promote hierarchical treatment were the influential factors of reform feasibility after the implementation of reform (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS It is feasible to carry out payment reform for TCM dominant diseases in Guizhou province ,but it is still in the exploratery stage ,and there are many factors affecting the feasibility of the reform. It is suggested that in the future ,when promoting in the whole pr ovince and even the whole c ountry,we should pay attention to selecting more and more reasonable dominant diseases for payment reform , further standardize the diagnosis and treatment behavior of clinicians , control the unreasonablegrowth of medical expenses , strengthen communication between clinicians and patients, improve the accurate diagnosis rate of traditional Chinese medicine diseases ,implement hierarchical calculation of dominant diseases ,and promote hierarchical diagnosis and treatment of medical institutions.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To provide reference for improving the professional identity of clinical pharmacists and the quality of pharmaceutical care ,and promoting the effects of clinical pharmaceutical intervention. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted among clinical pharmacists in secondary and tertiary hospitals in 31 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities ) in 2019 by stratified semi-random sampling. Through descriptive analysis of survey data ,their job satisfaction status was evaluated ; χ 2 test and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influential factors of job satisfaction ;the robustness test of study results by propensity score matching method and replacement regression model ,and grouping Logistic regression of samples from hospital on different levels. Targeted improvement measures were put forward according to the results of survey . RESULTS There was statistical significance in the difference of job satisfaction among pharmacists of different professional titles (P<0.05). Results of Logistic regression showed that whether to participate in standardized training ,whether to obtain communication and support from patients ,whether the pharmaceutical management rules and regulations were sound ,whether to set up economic compensation means such as pharmaceutical service fee ,whether to work overload ,and whether to smoothly perform pharmaceutical care duties were significant influential factors for job satisfaction of clinical pharmacists (P<0.05). These results showed good robustness as tested by propensity score matching method and replacement regression model. Heterogeneity analysis results showed that the job satisfaction of clinical pharmacists in tertiary hospitals was more significantly affected by economic compensation ,while clinical pharmacists in secondary hospitals were more concerned about training opportunities and workload conditions (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The job satisfaction level of Chinese clinical pharmacists remains to be improved. Accordingly ,it is compulsory to continue the promotion of standardized training courses ,consummate the pharmaceutical management system ,and fair remuneration structure in order to improve the job satisfaction of clinical pharmacists and build a high-level clinical pharmacist team.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To observe the clinical characteristics of mild and common COVID-19 patients infected with the Omicron variant, and to analyze related factors affecting the time to negative conversion of viral nucleic acid detection.@*METHODS@#Clinical data of 1781 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to a cabin hospital in Shanghai from April 12 to May 26, 2022, were retrospectively analyzed, including age, gender, height, weight, clinical symptoms, comorbid diseases, COVID-19 vaccination, treatment, and nucleic acid negative conversion time. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the influencing factors of nucleic acid negative conversion time.@*RESULTS@#Among the 1781 patients, 995 were male and 786 were female, with a median age of 39 (30, 52) years. There were 727 patients (40.8%) with overweight and obesity [body mass index (BMI) > 24 kg/cm 2) and 413 patients (23.2%) had comorbid diseases. 205 cases (11.5%) were not vaccinated while 1576 cases were vaccinated. There were 1233 cases (69.2%) with one or more symptoms. The main clinical symptoms were cough (60.3%), expectoration (50.4%) and fever (36.9%). 1444 cases (81.0%) were treated with Chinese medicine, 78 cases (4.4%) were treated with western medicine, 14 cases (0.8%) were treated with integrated Chinese and western medicine, and 245 cases (13.8%) did not receive any medical treatment. All patients improved and were discharged. The median nucleic acid negative conversion time was 10.3 (7.4, 12.4) d. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that, age ≥ 60 years ( OR=1.537, 95% CI: 1.116 - 2.115, P<0.01), BMI > 24 kg/cm 2 ( OR=1.344, 95% CI: 1.106 - 1.634, P<0.01 ) and hypertension ( OR=1.518, 95% CI: 1.094 - 2.106, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for prolonged nucleic acid negative conversion. COVID-19 vaccination ( OR=0.548, 95% CI: 0.398 - 0.755, P<0.01) was a protective factor, that is, vaccination shortened the time for the nucleic acid test to become negative.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The symptoms of the Omicron variant infection were relatively mild and occult. Age ≥ 60 years old, comorbid hypertension, no vaccination and BMI > 24 kg/cm 2 are independent influencing factors for prolonged nucleic acid negative conversion.

OBJECTIVE:To construct China ’s Insurance Mode for ADR injury compensation model under marketing authorization holder (MAH)system,and to provide reference for reducing the medical disputes caused by ADR damage and protecting the rights and interests of patients. METHODS :Using the methods of recommendation and “snowball”,the interviewers were invited to conduct semi-structured interviews to obtain qualitative data ,and the results were analyzed by thematic analysis. According to the results of subject analysis ,the ADR injury compensation model was designed from three aspects of insurance type setting,insurance level division and compulsory insurance protection objects ,and the Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method based on AHP was used to evaluate the model ;questionnaire and multiple factor Logistic regression analysis was adopted to analyze the influential factors of whether drug related institutions were willing to establish ADR injury compensation system. RESULTS:A total of 40 experts were invited and 34 of them completed the interview ,with a response rate of 85.0%. At present , the problems of ADR injury compensation in China mainly included the difficulties of third-party identification and adducing evidence of ADR injury ,the difficulty of timely and fair settlement of medical disputes caused by ADR injury ,the high cost and long time of handling ADR injury disputes ,and the uncertainty of compensation mode. More than half of the experts interviewed agreed with the compensation mode of insurance . The overall score of established model was 89.50. A total of 640 questionnaires were distributed and 559 valid questionnaires were recovered (204 drug manufacturers ,172 drug distributors and 183 medical institutions). The effective rate of the questionnaire was 87.3%. Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that the factors positively correlated with the approval of establishing ADR injury compensation system after the implementation of MAH system in China included the familiarity of ADR staff in drug manufacturing enterprises with ADR related policies (β=1.697,P<0.05),the types of drugs operated by pharmaceutical companies (β=2.987, P<0.05),the cognitionlevel of medical staff on ADR (β= 2.800,P<0.05). The working years of medical staff were negatively correlated with the approval of establishing ADR injury compensation system after the implementation of MAH system ( β =- 2.544,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS :ADR injury compensation model designed in this study is feasible. It has reference value for reducing the economic burden of ADR patients , treating patients ’health problems caused by ADR injury in time ,and promoting the development of China ’s drug insurance. Main influential factors for the establishment of ADR injury compensation model under MAH system contain the familiarity of ADR staff in drug manufacturing enterprises with ADR related policies ,the types of drugs operated by pharmaceutical companies ,the cognitionlevel of medical staff on ADR ,the types of drugs operated by pharmaceutical companies ,the cognitionlevel of medical staff on ADR.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influ ential factors of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)service utilized by outpatients in Jiangsu province ,and to provide reference for scientific utilization of TCM service. METHODS :Based on the data of Jiangsu province in National Sixth Health Service Survey in 2018,descriptive analysis was performed for the general situation and population characteristics of 1 617 outpatients in Jiangsu province. Single factor analysis and multivariate binary Logistic regression model analysis were used to analyze the influential factors of TCM service utilized by outpatients. RESULTS :Of the 1 617 respondents,145 patients(9.0%)applied TCM services at outpatient visits. Results of single factor analysis showed that age , education degree ,annual income ,whether to participate in basic medical insurance ,self-perceived illness severity ,hypertension, diabetes,other chronic diseases ,and the first diagnose institutions were significant influential factors for TCM service utilized by outpatients in Jiangsu province (P<0.05). Results of binary Logistic regression showed that the elderly aged 65 years and over , the patients who participated in the basic medical insurance for urban workers ,the patients with hypertension ,primary medical institutions as first diagnosis institutions ,the middle-income population ,and other chronic diseases were significant influential factors for TCM service utilized by outpatients in Jiangsu province (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS :Age,annual income ,whether to participate in basic medical insurance ,hypertension and other chronic diseases ,and first diagnosis institutions are significant infleutial factors for TCM service utilized by outpatients in Jiangsu province. The utilization of TCM health services for outpatients in Jiangsu province is in relatively low level ,and middle-aged and elderly patients and patients with chronic diseases show high acceptance for TCM services. Outpatients first diagnosed in primary medical institutions are more willing to accept TCM services.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES@#This study aims to investigate awareness of oral health care and health status among elderly people in nursing homes in Taiyuan. Strategies for preventing and treating oral diseases and improving the quality of life of the elderly in nursing homes were formulated on the basis of analyzed data.@*METHODS@#A total of 359 participants from 48 nursing homes in six districts were selected randomly. Awareness, attitude, and behavior with regard to oral health care among the elderly were investigated through a survey using questionnaires and oral health examinations. Data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 20.0.@*RESULTS@#Among the elderly in the nursing homes in Taiyuan, awareness and behavior with regard to oral health care were deficient and inappropriate, and thus professional guidance was needed. In addition to method and time of brushing teeth and bad oral habits, the oral health status of the elderly was statistically affected by age and education. Compared with the data of the Fourth National Oral Epidemiological Investigation, the number of elderly people aged 55-64 or 65-74 years who brush their teeth every day and accept oral diagnosis and treatment was lower. However, the ratios of edentulous and missing teeth without treatment were higher than the national average level for the same age groups.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The awareness and attitude of the elderly in nursing homes with regard to oral health care are unsatisfactory, and their oral health status is poor. Education on oral health care, development of good oral care habits, and regular oral health examination are essential to the maintenance of oral health in elderly people.

OBJECTIVE:To e xplore the health economic burden of hypertension patients at county-level areas and its influential factors in China. METHODS :A questionnaire survey was conducted on hypertension patients in 7 county-level public hospitals from 6 provinces as Hebei ,Shandong,Shanxi provinces by using a convenient sampling method. Catastrophic health expenditure was defined by the standard of “medical and health expenditure exceeding 10% of household income ”. The incidence , average gap and relative gap of catastrophic health expenditure were analyzed. A multi-factor Logistic regression model analysis was used to analyze the influential factors that lead to catastrophi c health expenditure. RESULTS :A total of 1 378 questionnaires were sent out ,and 925 valid questionnaires were collected with effective rate of 67.13% . The incidence of catastrophic health expenditure,average gap and relative gap among hypertension patients were 23.03%,19.37% and 84.12%,respectively. At different income levels ,the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure,average gap and relative gap were 72.67% , 96.79% and 133.18% in the poorest household group ,and were 1.94% ,0.47% and 24.23% in the richest household group. Among different types of medical insurance ,the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure in patients covered by “New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS)”the highest (31.30%). The household income ,complications and the type of health insurance had significant impacts on the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure in hypertension patients (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of catastrophic health expenditure in hypertension patients with different income levels is different. As the income level raised ,the incidence of catastrophic health expenditures continued to decrease. But the protection of household health expenditure by NRCMS is weak. It is suggested that a certain policy preference should be given to families with low income and patients with chronic diseases ,so as to ensure the rights and interests of patients with hypertension .
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI)after lung transplantation and its possible influential factors . METHODS :Medical records of 64 patients who received lung transplantation in our hospital from April 2017 to June 2018 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into AKI group (44 cases)and non-AKI group (20 cases),according to whether AKI occurred after operation. According to diagnostic criteria for lung transplantation in our hospital , all patients were given Methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection or Methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection combined with Basiliximab for injection ,and triple immunosuppressive therapy of Tacrolimus capsules+Mycophenolate mofetil dispersible tablets or Mycophenolate mofetil capsules or Mycophenolate sodium enteric-coated tablets+Methylprednisolone tablets or Prednisone acetate tablets were given after operation. The occurrence of AKI in AKI group within a week after operation were recorded. Intraoperative influential factors (operation type , operation duration , ECMO support , immune inhibitor use , intraoperative blood loss ),postoperative influential factors [days of ICU ,mechanical ventilation and ECMO support ,median value of Scr within one week after operation ,median tacrolimus concentration and the use of potential nephrotoxic drugs (≥4 kinds), hospitalization days] and survival rate one year after operation were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS :Within one week after lung transplantation,44 patients(68.8%)had experienced at least one episode of AKI ,among which 19 cases(29.7%)were stage 1, 17 cases(26.5%)were stage 2 and 8 cases(12.5%)were stage 3. The incidence of AKI was the highest on post-operative day 4 (57.4%). The incidence of AKI at stage 3 exhibited growth trend within the first week after operation ,and reached the highest on median post-operative day 5(8.7%). Operation duration ,median value of Scr within one week after operation ,median tacrolimus concentration in non-AKI group were significantly shorter or lower than AKI group ;there was no significant difference in operation type, ECMO support , use of immunosuppressive agents , intraoperative blood loss ,ICU days ,mechanical ventilation days,ECMO support days ,the utilization rate of potential nephrotoxic drugs ( ≥4 kinds) and hospitalization days between 2 groups (P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the survival rate at stage 1 and 2 one year after operation between AKI group and non-AKI group (P>0.05). One year after operation ,survival rate of AKI group at stage 3 was significantly lower than that of non-AKI group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of AKI is high after lung transplantation. Operation duration ,median value of Scr within one week after operation ,median tacrolimus concentration were possible factors for the occurrence of AKI after operation.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES@#To understand the psychological status of the staff in a general hospital during the coronavirus disease 2019 and its influential factors, and to provide references for the mental health services to hospital staff.@*METHODS@#Using star platform of questionnaire, the staff in the general hospital were investigated via Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ). The influential factors were discussed by descriptive analysis, rank sum test, single factor analysis, correlation analysis and multiple factors binary logistic regression analysis.@*RESULTS@#A total of 2 060 valid questionnaires were collected. The negative emotions of nurses and cleaners were the most obvious. The depression scores, anxiety scores and stress scores for nurses and cleaners were 5.06±7.47, 6.36±7.84, 9.75±8.65, and 6.72±8.84, 4.51±6.56, 9.69±9.56, respectively. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that staff types, education levels, job status, economic situation and concerns on the supplies of protective goods were the main influential factors for depression; staff types, contacting status with infected patients, economic situation, concerns on the supplies of protective goods, history of disease were the main influential factors for anxiety; contacting status with infected patients, economic situation, concerns on the supplies of protective goods were the main influential factors for stress.@*CONCLUSIONS@#There are differences in psychological characteristics among different groups of staff in the general hospital under the outbreak. Thus psychological protection and intervention measures should be formulated according to different groups and work status.

Origanum vulgare L. (OVEO) essential oil has been considered a candidate antimicrobial for use in food conservation systems. However, studies on the influence of concomitant variations of different food components or physicochemical parameters on the antibacterial properties of OVEO are scarce. This study assessed the influence of concomitant variations in amounts of proteins - PTN (4.0, 6.0 or 8.0 g/100 mL) and lipids - LIP (3.75, 5.0 or 6.25 g/100 mL) and pH values (5.0, 5.5 or 6.0) in cultivation medium on the inhibitory effects of OVEO against Escherichia coli (EC) and Salmonella Typhimurium (ST). Lowest minimum inhibitory concentration values of OVEO against EC and ST were observed in media with the highest LIP amounts regardless the PTN amount and pH value. In absorbance based microtiter plate assay (MPA), for both EC and ST, OVEO caused the lowest Grmax values in medium containing the highest LIP and PTN amounts and lowest pH value. Highest Grmax values for EC and ST were observed in medium containing the lowest LIP and PTN amount and highest pH value. Grmax values estimated from viable counts of EC and ST in tested media with OVEO confirmed bacterial growth behavior similar to that observed in MPA. Overall, the LIP amount in media was as the most influential factor to enhance the antibacterial effects of OVEO. These results indicate that the concomitant influence of LIP and PTN amounts and pH values on the antibacterial effects of OVEO should be considered for optimizing its antimicrobial efficacy in foods.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influential factors of tacrolimus (TAC) blood concentration in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) of different nationalities. METHODS: In retrospective study, clinical information of 104 patients who diagnosed as NS and met inclusion/exclusion criteria were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University during Dec. 2017 and Nov. 2018, including gender, age, ethnicity, height, body weight, laboratory test items, combined drug use and TAC dosage. Influential factors for TAC blood concentration were analyzed by SPSS 22.0 software, and effects of combined use of Wuzhi capsule on steady-state blood trough concentration ([ss][c min]) and dose of TAC were also analyzed. RESULTS: Among 104 patients, totally TAC blood concentration of 394 case times were monitored; using TAC standardized blood concentration as endpoint, Han nationality group was significantly lower than Uygur and Kazak nationality group (P=0.003); patients receiving combined use of Wuzhi capsule were significantly higher than those without combined use of Wuzhi capsule (P=0.056); the patients with combined use of calcium antagonists was significantly higher than the patients without calcium antagonists (P=0.01); the patients with combined use of proton pump inhibitors were significantly lower than those without combined proton pump inhibitors (P=0.01); patients with normal hematocrit were significantly lower than those with abnormal hematocrit (P=0.001); patients with normal urea nitrogen were significantly lower than those with abnormal urea nitrogen (P<0.001). The dose of TAC in patients receiving combined Wuzhi capsule were significantly lower than those without combined use of Wuzhi capsule (P=0.001), there was no significant difference in [ss][c min] of TAC between them (P=0.29). CONCLUSIONS: For NS patients, the effects of ethnicity, calcium antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, hematocrit, urea nitrogen and Wuzhi capsules on TAC blood concentration should be considered when TAC is used.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for improving medication compliance and therapeutic efficacy in community patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in China. METHODS: The data was from the “Economic Study of Diabetic Medications in Patients with T2DM in China”, which was conducted by China Center for Health Economic Research of Peking University. Both univariate analysis and Logistic regression model were used for single factor analysis and multiple factor analysis of medication compliance. RESULTS: Totally 2 236 community T2DM patients were included. The rate of good medication compliance was estimated at as low as 23.48%. Monthly household income and duration of the disease had significant impact on medication compliance. Incidence of good the medication compliance for patients with monthly household income ≥6 000 yuan and during 3 000-<6 000 yuan, compared to those with monthly household income <3 000 yuan, were 70.8% [95%CI(0.532,0.944)] and 78.5% [95%CI(0.614,1.004)] respectively. Incidence of good medication compliance for the patients with 5 to 10 years and >10 years of disease duration, compared to those with <5 years of disease duration, were 69.0% [95%CI(0.542, 0.878)] and 59.1% [95%CI(0.459, 0.760)] respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The medication compliance among community patients with T2DM in China was generally poor. Longer duration of the disease and higher monthly household income are associated with poorer medication adherence.
