RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The size and cost of outpatient capacity directly affect the operational efficiency of a whole hospital. Many scholars have faced the study of outpatient capacity planning from an operations management perspective. OBJECTIVE: The outpatient service is refined, and the quantity allocation problem of each type of outpatient service is modeled as an integer linear programming problem. Thus, doctors' work efficiency can be improved, patients' waiting time can be effectively reduced, and patients can be provided with more satisfactory medical services. METHODS: Outpatient service is divided into examination and diagnosis service according to lean thinking. CPLEX is used to solve the integer linear programming problem of outpatient service allocation, and the maximum working time is minimized by constraint solution. RESULTS: A variety of values are taken for the relevant parameters of the outpatient service, using CPLEX to obtain the minimum and maximum working time corresponding to each situation. Compared with no refinement stratification, the work efficiency of senior doctors has increased by an average of 25%. In comparison, the patient flow of associate senior doctors has increased by an average of 50%. CONCLUSION: In this paper, the method of outpatient capacity planning improves the work efficiency of senior doctors and provides outpatient services for more patients in need; At the same time, it indirectly reduces the waiting time of patients receiving outpatient services from senior doctors. And the patient flow of the associate senior doctors is improved, which helps to improve doctors' technical level and solve the problem of shortage of medical resources.

@# Objective To observe the effect of Valpar 4 system on hand injury. Methods 40 patients with hand injury were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 20 patients in each group. Routine treatment was applied in both groups while Valpar 4 system was added in the observation group. Then total active motion (TAM) of finger joints, Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH), and Upper Extremity Function Test (UEFT) were carried out before, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment. Results The TAM improved significantly in the control group 2 weeks after treatment (P<0.001). The TAM, DASH and UEFT improved significantly in the observation group (P<0.001), and the DASH and UEFT were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.001). 4 weeks after treatment, the TAM and UEFT improved significantly (P<0.001) in the control group, the TAM, DASH, UEFT significantly improved in the observation group (P<0.001), and were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Valpar 4 system can effectively improve the TAM of fingers, function of hands and upper limb, especially in terms of activities of daily living of upper limbs.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effects of ω-3 fatty acids on inflammation and coagulation function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after partial hepatectomy.Methods In this prospective randomized controlled trial,80 HCC patients were randomly divided into two groups based on the parenteral nutrition (PN) scheme that was provided 5 days after partial hepatectomy:fish oil group:20％ fish oil and 80％ mediumlong fatty acid; and control group:100％ medium-long fatty acid.The inflammation,liver function,blood coagulation indicators,and prognosis were compared between two groups.Results After 3 days of hepatectomy,the serum C-reactive protein levels in the control and fish oil groups were (119.6 ± 57.3) mg/L and (97.1 ± 46.1) mg/L(P =0.016),respectively; and on day 6 after surgery,C-reactive protein levels of two groups were (54.9 ± 26.1)and (40.7 ±21.8) mg/L,respectively (P =0.018).The plasma fibrinogen level in the fish oil group was significantly lower than that in the control group 3 days [(3.4 ± 1.1) vs.(4.1 ± 1.3) g/L,P ＜ 0.001] and 6 days [(3.3 ± 0.9) vs.(3.8 ± 1.2) g/L,P ＜ 0.001] after surgery.The retention rate of indocyanine green at 15 minutes on the 7th postoperative day were 8.6％ ±4.9％ and 9.2％ ±7.3％ in the control and fish oil groups,respectively (P=0.179).The recurrent rate (40.63％ vs.44.12％,x2 =0.082,P =0.774) and survival rate in the fish oil and control groups (90.62％ vs.88.24％,x2 ＜0.001,P =1.000) also showed no significant difference after 6 months of follow-up.Conclusion ω-3 fish oil emulsion can reduce postoperative inflammatory response and prevent thrombosis.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effects of branched-chain amino acids-enriched early parenteral and enteral nutrition on the liver function and serum aminograms in cirrhotic rats after partial hepatectomy. Methods In this prospective randomized controlled study, 24 cirrhotic rats, induced by thioacetamide, were randomized into three groups: enteral nutrition (EN) group, EN + branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) group, and parenteral nutrition (PN) + BCAA group. After receiving partial hepatectomy, rats in all three groups were nutritionally supported with equal amount of calorie and nitrogen contents from the 1st postoperative day ( PO day 1 ) to PO day 5. On PO day 6, parameters including body weight, liver functions, prealbumin, transferring, and serum aminograms were measured or determined, and the level of liver albumin mRNA was detected by reversal transcription-polymerase chain reaction and morphological examinations such as HE staining and immunohistochemical staining, which were assessed by index of Ki67 protein index. Results Body weight was significantly decreased in all three groups on PO day 6 (P ＜0.05 ). Compared with EN + BCAA group, serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase after partial hepatectomy were significantly higher in PN + BCAA group (P ＜0.05 ). Serum alkaline phosphatase level was significantly higher in PN + BCAA group than in EN group ( P ＜0. 05). The level of prealbumin was significantly lower in PN + BCAA group when compared with EN group or EN +BCAA group ( both P ＜ 0. 05 ), although no such significant difference was noted in terms of transferrin ( P ＞0. 05 ). The levels of leucine and isoleucine elevated while those of tyrosine, phenylalanine, arginine and tryptophan declined in PN + BCAA group or EN + BCAA group when compared with EN group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Aminograms were not significantly different between EN + BCAA group and PN + BCAA group ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Levels of total amino acid and aromatic amino acid (AAA) were significantly lower while BCAA and ratio between BCAA and AAA (BCAA/AAA) were significantly higher in PN + BCAA group or EN + BCAA group than in EN group (P ＜ 0. 05 ).Significantly lower level of albumin mRNA and index of Ki67 were observed in PN + BCAA group than in EN group or EN + BCAA group (P ＜ 0.05 ) on PO day 6. Conclusions BCAA-enriched EN or PN reverses amino acid disequilibrium and restores BCAA/AAA in cirrhotic rats after partial hepatectomy. Compared with PN, EN is superior in improving postoperative liver function, promoting protein synthesis, and speed up tissue regeneration in the postoperative liver. However, it still can not restore serum albumin in a short term.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the incidence and clinicopathologic significance of MSI in breast caner.Methods 40 paired sporadic invasive breast cancer were collected.Genomic DNA was extracted from live sample.Twelve microsatellites on chromosomes 2p,3p,5q,6q,16q,17q were amplified for MSI,respectively,by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)with designed primers and detecting after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Results MSI in 15 out of 40(35%)of the carcinomas were observed.There was no MSI in benign hyperplasia.MSI was mainly located at D3S1766,D2S2739 and TP53 in the breast cancer.The incidence rate of MSI in breast cancer is associated with the degree of carcinoma differentiation.Conclusions Microsatellite instability might play a role in the early stage during multistep breast carcinogenesis.MSI indicated poor histologic differentiation in breast carcinoma.D3S1766,D2S2739 and TP53 might be the sensitive sites to detect MSI in breast carcinoma transformation.
