Un sistema de vigilancia de salud pública para el cambio climático en las ciudades

This paper makes a first proposal for a public health surveillance system for climate change in cities, and describes the process that led to its definition. After several years of monitoring different aspects related to climate change and its impact, the public health services of Barcelona made a preliminary proposal and gathered a working group of experts to discuss and review it. Four categories of components were defined: climate data, health impacts of climate change and its determinants, contributions of the city to mitigation (especially those with health co-benefits), and actions to reduce vulnerability to extreme events. They were broken in twelve components, with indicators for each. The proposal was further refined with subsequent reviews, and is being used by the city public health services involved in this field.     

Functional transition: Inconsistently parallel to the increase in future liver remnant volume after preoperative portal vein embolization

BACKGROUNDPreoperative portal vein embolization (PVE) is a widely used strategy to enable major hepatectomy in patients with insufficient liver remnant. PVE induces hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (FLR) and a shift of the functional reserve to the FLR. However, whether the increase of the FLR volume (FLRV) corresponds to the functional transition after PVE remains unclear.AIMTo investigate the sequential relationship between the increase in FLRV and functional transition after preoperative PVE using 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) and ^99mTc-galactosyl-human serum albumin (^99mTc-GSA) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) fusion images. METHODSThirty-three patients who underwent major hepatectomy following PVE at the Department of Gastroenterological Surgery I, Hokkaido University Hospital between October 2013 and March 2018 were enrolled. Three-phase dynamic multidetector CT and ^99mTc-GSA SPECT scintigraphy were performed at pre-PVE, and at 1 and 2 wk after PVE; 3D ^99mTc-GSA SPECT CT-fused images were constructed from the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine data using 3D image analysis system. Functional FLRV (FFLRV) was defined as the total liver volume × (FLR volume counts/total liver volume counts) on the 3D ^99mTc-GSA SPECT CT-fused images. The calculated FFLRV was compared with FLRV.RESULTSFFLRV increased by a significantly larger extent than FLRV at 1 and 2 wk after PVE (P < 0.01). The increase in FFLRV and FLRV was 55.1% ± 41.6% and 26.7% ± 17.8% (P < 0.001), respectively, at 1 wk after PVE, and 64.2% ± 33.3% and 36.8% ± 18.9% (P < 0.001), respectively, at 2 wk after PVE. In 3 of the 33 patients, FFLRV levels decreased below FLRV at 2 wk. One of the three patients showed rapidly progressive fatty changes in FLR. The biopsy at 4 wk after PVE showed macro- and micro-vesicular steatosis of more than 40%, which improved to 10%. Radical resection was performed at 13 wk after PVE. The patient recovered uneventfully without any symptoms of pos-toperative liver failure.CONCLUSIONThe functional transition lagged behind the increase in FLRV after PVE in some cases. Evaluating both volume and function is needed to determine the optimal timing of hepatectomy after PVE.     

Improving community health and social care practitioners’ confidence,perceived competence and intention to use behaviour change techniques in health behaviour change conversations

Community health and social care practitioners play an increasingly important role in the health promotion agenda, but lack confidence in having effective health behaviour change (HBC) conversations with members of the public. This study reports the development and evaluation of a training intervention based on health psychology to improve health and social care practitioner self-rated confidence, competence and intention to use five behaviour change techniques (BCTs) in their HBC conversations. A 2-day behavioural science interprofessional skills training course plus online learning module was designed for health and social care staff across North East Scotland, teaching five evidence-based BCTs (e.g. Action Planning), plus person-centred communication skills. Participants rated confidence, competence and future intention to use the BCTs on likert scales (1–10) pre-course and post-course, and provided acceptability data. 177 participants aged 20–64 took part, qualitative and quantitative data suggested that the course had high acceptability. Paired samples t tests (n = 120 with complete data) showed significant improvements in confidence, competence and intention following the course, which remained significant with a conservative analysis (n = 174) assuming no change for missing data. Perceived competence in Action Planning increased most during the course (mean change 3.09). In conclusion, health psychology-based skills training can improve practitioner confidence, competence and intention to use evidence-based BCTs; further evaluation is needed to assess practice change.     

四川省卫生总费用的结构变动及预测研究

目的 分析2008—2019年四川省卫生总费用结构变动及影响因素和预测研究,为助力“健康四川”建言献策。方法 使用四川省卫生统计年鉴的相关卫生总费用数据,在描述性分析的基础上,使用结构变动度分析卫生总费用的结构变动,灰色关联法研究卫生总费用的影响因素并进行GM(1,1)预测。结果 2008—2019年卫生总费用持续增加,政府、社会和个人卫生支出结构逐步合理;人均卫生费用水平排名靠后,社会卫生支出成为卫生总费用的主要构成单元;千人口床位、常住人口和农村居民人均可支配收入是影响卫生总费用的主要因素;预测发现,2020—2025年卫生总费用仍呈增加趋势,个人卫生支出占比进一步下降。结论 四川省卫生总费用结构渐趋合理,医疗服务水平得到大幅度改善;但仍需重点关注人均卫生费用等相对性指标。     

Oral senile amyloidosis in senescence accelerated mouse (SAM)

Oral senile amyloidosis in senescence accelerated mouse (SAM) was examined for two SAM sublines (P/2/Iw and R/1/Iw) and for various ages by light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy. The amyloid deposition, identified by green birefrigence following Congo red stain, was observed only in P/2/Iw. In P/2/Iw, no amyloid deposition was found at age 6 months; however, frequency and extent of such deposits increased with advancing age. Distribution of amyloid deposition was as follows: along papillary layers of mucous epithelium in the tongue, the gingiva, the palate, and the buccal mucosa; foci in connective tissues; along vessels, muscles, and minor salivary glands. Immunohistochemically, the amyloid deposition was positive with anti-ASSAM serum being raised against a unique amyloid protein ASSAM which probably induced "senile systemic amyloidosis". P/2/Iw is useful as an animal model of oral senile amyloidosis.
