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.
Due to optimizing medical service resources and improving service efficiency, day surgery has attracted the attention of medical and management experts worldwide. In 2019, day surgery was included as one of the performance assessment indicators of tertiary public hospitals. In recent years, hospital-based day surgery centers have begun to plan and build. Although the basic facilities have been perfectly improved, but how to efficiently and safely operate and manage the centralized day surgery has become the primary problem to clinicians and managers. The purpose of this paper is to introduce how the Day Surgery Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University uses scientific management tools and establishes a professional multidisciplinary team, so as to carry out efficient operation management and control of medical quality and safety risks of the Day Surgery Center. And then provide practical experience guidance and suggestions with strong feasibility and operability for peers.
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.
ObjectiveTo analyze the effect of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) on the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) combined with lung injury [acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)] in emergency treatment. MethodsFifty-six patients with SAP combined with ALI/ARDS treated between January 2013 and March 2015 were included in our study. Twenty-eight patients who underwent NPPV were designated as the treatment group, while the other 28 patients who did not undergo NPPV were regarded as the control group. Then, we observed patients' blood gas indexes before and three days after treatment. The hospital stay and mortality rate of the two groups were also compared. ResultsBefore treatment, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of pH value and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) (P>0.05). Three days after treatment, blood pH value of the treatment group and the control group was 7.41±0.07 and 7.34±0.04, respectively, with a significant difference (P＜0.05); the PaO2 value was respectively (60.60±5.11) and (48.40±3.57) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), also with a significant difference (P＜0.05). The hospital stay of the treatment group and the control group was (18.22±3.07) and (23.47±3.55) days with a significant difference (P＜0.05); and the six-month mortality was 17% and 32% in the two groups without any significant difference (P>0.05). ConclusionIt is effective to treat patients with severe acute pancreatitis combined with acute lung injury in emergency by noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.
Hospital hosting has made great success in public hospitals. Small and medium public hospitals have made great progress in management and healing with the help of large comprehensive hospitals. The business model of hospital hosting has been used in private hospitals. This study will introduce the differences among each model of hospital hosting and analysis the efficiency in private hospital area.
Pricing and investment of scientific and technological achievements is one of the important forms of achievement transformation. Due to its unique transformation mechanism advantages, it has become increasingly prominent in “industry-university-research” cooperative innovation, and this transformation form has gradually becomea focus of hospital achievement transformation. Based on the policies and relevant laws/regulations, from the aspects of scientific and technological achievements pricing and investment and its development history, the difference between pricing and investment and transfer/licensing, and common problems of pricing and investment practice, this paper analyzes and discusses the characteristics and the problems that may be encountered in the implementation process of pricing and investment of scientific and technological achievements. It aims to provide feasible basis and reference for the practice of pricing and investment in scientific and technological achievements in hospitals.
ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of nosocomial infection in a hospital and to provide a basis for hospital infection control. MethodsUsing bedside investigation and medical records analysis, we surveyed all hospitalized patients from 00:00 to 24:00 on July 19th, 2013. ResultsThe real investigation was carried out on 1815 patients out of all the 1828 patients with a real investigation rate of 99.29%. There were 55 cases of nosocomial infection (55 case-times), and both the nosocomial point infection rate and case-time infection rate were 3.03%. The top three departments with the highest rate were Intensive Care Unit (37.50%), Neurosurgery Department One (13.73%) and Neurosurgery Department Two (12.00%). Most infections occurred on the lower respiratory tract, which accounted for 45.45%. Nosocomial infection pathogenic detection rate was 38.18% (21/55):6 cases of Staphylococcus aureus (28.57%), 5 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (23.81%), 3 of Klebsiella pneumoniae (14.29%), and 2 cases of Acinetobacter baumanii (9.52%). The rate of antimicrobial drug use was 24.08%, in which drug treatment accounted for 75.29%. Gender, surgery, urinary catheter, vascular catheter, tracheostomy, ventilator application, hemodialysis, and use of antibiotics were all influencial factors for occurrence of nosocomial infection. ConclusionNosocomial infection prevalence survey can help fully understand the status of hospital infection, help to carry out targeted surveillance, and better guidance for hospital to prevent and control nosocomial infection.
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.
