Family-centered Care for Sick Newborns: A Thumbnail View

Family-centered care (FCC) for sick newborns is emerging as a paradigmatic shift in the practice of facility-based newborn care. It seeks to transforming a provider-centered model into a client-centered one and thus build a new therapeutic alliance. FCC is the cornerstone of continuum of care, imparting caregiving competencies to parents/caregivers both within institutions as well as after the discharge. This has potential gains for the newborn, family members, and facility-level staff. The initial model piloted in tertiary-care settings is now undergoing translation at five sites across the country; the outcomes are keenly awaited.     

A systematic review of capacity assessment tools in pediatric surgery: Global Assessment in Pediatric Surgery (GAPS) Phase I

Background

The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery highlighted global surgical need but offered little insight into the specific surgical challenges of children in low-resource settings. Efforts to strengthen the quality of global pediatric surgical care have resulted in a proliferation of partnerships between low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs). Standardized tools able to reliably measure gaps in delivery and quality of care are important aids for these partnerships. We undertook a systematic review (SR) of capacity assessment tools (CATs) focused on needs assessment in pediatric surgery.

低胆红素血症对机体抗氧化能力和脂质过氧化的影响及VitE的干预效果

目的 :探讨低胆红素血症对机体抗氧化能力和脂质过氧化的不良影响并观察VitE的干预效果。方法 :从体检健康人群中有意选择 4 5例胆红素水平偏高者 (≥ 15 μmol/L)和 4 0例胆红素水平偏低者 (≤ 9μmol/L)作为研究对象 ,抽空腹静脉血检测血清总抗氧化能力 (T -AOC) ,丙二醛 (MDA)及血浆氧化修饰低密度脂蛋白(Ox -LDL) ,并给低胆红素组每人每天口服VitE 10 0mg ,连续 2周 ,复测上述指标。结果 :与高胆红素组比 ,低胆红素组T -AOC明显降低 (P <0 .0 1) ,而MDA和Ox -LDL明显升高 (P <0 .0 5和P <0 .0 1) ,但低胆红素组补充VitE干预后 ,T -AOC显著升高 ,而MDA和Ox -LDL显著降低 (均P <0 .0 1) ,分别达到甚至超过了高胆红素组的相应水平。结论 :低胆红素血症可显著降低机体抗氧化能力 ,促进脂质过氧化 ,但这一不良影响可以通过补充VitE得到有效纠正。     

Determination of needed radiographic room capacity to serve an emergency department

This study describes a method for determining the number of radiographic rooms devoted to emergency radiology that would be required to keep mean patient waiting time at a desired level. A desired mean waiting time for patients must be determined. In our setting, a mean waiting time of 8 minutes resulted in few complaints. The waiting time then sets the required utilization rate of available capacity. Daily and hourly volume and variability in volume of examinations were measured over a 3-month period. This represents the demand. The needed number of rooms is determined by comparing demand with effective available capacity for different numbers of rooms. To maintain an 8-minute mean waiting time, 50% utilization of capacity is required. Mean demand on Sundays is 176 examinations. Five rooms are required, since this gives a 180-examination effective capacity. Using waiting time as the primary decision criterion for making capacity decisions in emergency radiology has several advantages: the method is easy to use, volume variability is taken into account, and the focus is on service to patients.     

Body composition,work capacity,and work efficiency of active and inactive young men

On 46 healthy young men, of whom 18 took part in strenuous sport at least once a week, height, weight, total body fat (as % of body mass) and lean body mass (LBM) were determined. The subjects performed submaximal exercise on a bicycle ergometer and climbing on an upwardly inclined treadmill at work loads of 60, 110, and 140 watts. Oxygen consumption ( ), respiratory quotient (RQ), energy expenditure (), and heart rate (f _H) were measured at rest and at each work load, and maximum oxygen intake ( max) and physical work capacity (PWC₁₅₀, PWC₁₇₀) were calculated.Anthropometric parameters did not differ significantly between sportsmen and sedentary subjects. max, PWC₁₅₀, and PWC₁₇₀ had higher correlations with LBM than with the other anthropometric parameters. max expressed in terms of LBM (ml/kg LBM/min) was the parameter which showed the clearest distinction between sportsmen and sedentary individuals. The sportsmen had higher max on the treadmill test than on the bicycle ergometer. PWC₁₅₀ and PWC₁₇₀ were higher on the bicycle than on the treadmill and had high correlations with max. Work efficiency was of the same order in both groups and showed negative correlation with the degree of obesity on the bicycle ergometer and positive correlation on the treadmill.     

Quantitative displacement of blood acid base equilibrium in acutely water depleted dogs

Summary Dogs were water depleted 2% of their body weight by the intraperitoneal injection of a hyperosmotic solution of saline and glucose (550 mOsm/l). During a 3-h experiment these water-depleted (WD) animals showed a significant decrease in blood pH, base excess (BE) and plasma bicarbonate (Bic_p) and an increase in both hematocrit (Ht) and blood buffer capacity (BBC). These changes were quantitatively time-dependent. The rate change of pH, BE, and Bic_p were –0.072 units h^–1, –4.7 mEq/l h^–1, and 2.9 mEq/l h^–1, respectively. As control dogs showed no significant time-dependent changes in their blood acid-base status, the observed modifications in the experimental dogs were ascribed to water depletion. Increased endogenous acid production related to tissue hypoxia is suggested to be the mechanism that could explain the increased fixed acid accumulation observed in the water-depleted animals.     

评“McCall观察方法”——对一种色谱系统分配效果观察方法的商榷

本文通过理论分析和文献数据的分析,对McCall提出的色谱系统分配效果的观察方法提出了不同的看法,认为McCall方法中的所谓logK并不是常数。McCall的方法无论在理论上和实践上都是不妥的。     

我国女性性工作者领域社会组织参与艾滋病防治项目管理能力建设需求研究

目的 了解为女性性工作者（FSW）提供艾滋病防治服务的社会组织项目管理能力建设需求。方法 向2017-2018年参与国家艾滋病防治基金项目的社会组织负责人开展问卷调查及访谈,结合基金项目管理信息系统相关数据,利用Excel 2016软件和SPSS 25.0软件整理分析社会组织的分布与基金获得情况,以及社会组织对项目管理能力的需求。结果 2017-2018年参与执行基金FSW项目的社会组织共184个,完成问卷调查的社会组织156个,主要集中在西部地区（44.0%,81/184）,以四川省、广西壮族自治区和云南省居多;东部地区获得的基金支持最多;社会组织对项目数据收集及分析利用的需求最高,占68.6%（107/156）,其次是项目风险分析应对及质控,占64.1%（100/156）;社会组织负责人学历对项目计划管理和项目财务管理能力建设需求的差异有统计学意义（χ²=5.78,P=0.016;χ²=8.99,P=0.003）。结论 当前我国FSW领域的社会组织数量和基金获得比例的分布,与异性性传播的艾滋病疫情分布不一致。仍需继续鼓励、引导扶持社会组织的发展资金;结合社会组织对能力建设的需求针对性的制定项目能力建设计划。     

2020年全国社区医院建设追踪监测分析

背景　社区医院建设是新时期满足群众基本医疗卫生服务需求的重要举措，是推动构建优质高效医疗卫生服务体系的关键环节。自2019年开展社区医院试点工作以来，国家紧密出台相关政策文件推动其发展。截至2020年底，我国已成功创建1 410家社区医院，对其建设情况进行监测、分析十分必要。目的　分析2020年全国社区医院监测数据，针对社区医院建设推进过程中存在的问题与困难，提出进一步推动社区医院建设相关政策建议。方法　利用课题组于2020年12月开展的社区医院追踪监测数据，从社区医院达到推荐标准、业务用房建筑面积、实际开放床位数、科室设置、全科医生配置等方面进行分析，梳理各省份2020年社区医院建设工作进展。结果　截至2020年12月，全国创建社区医院1 410个，73.12%（1 023/1 399）的社区医院达到“优质服务基层行”推荐标准，山西省等9个省份的社区医院全部达到推荐标准。2020年，全国已建成的社区医院平均业务用房面积6 822 m2，较2019年增加347 m2，达到“业务用房面积≥3 000 m2”标准的社区医院占比为96.07%（1 343/1 398）；社区医院平均实际开放床位数为91张，较2019年增加3张，达到“实际开放床位数≥30张”标准的社区医院占比为97.13%（1 355/1 395）；社区医院临床科室设置逐渐齐全，除全科医疗科、康复医学科、中医科外达到“其他10个临床专业科室数≥5个”标准的社区医院占比为89.15%（1 241/1 392），2020年新增临床科室占比较多的依次为发热门诊（18.95%，260/1 372）、康复医学科（9.10%，126/1 384）、精神/心理科（6.55%，89/1 358）；社区医院平均配置全科医生16.15人，较2019年增加1.16人。结论　社区医院推进工作进展顺利，数量翻番，基础设施设备加强，临床科室不断增加，服务能力进一步提升；但各省份社区医院建设数量差距较大，部分省份社区医院对标不够，配套政策应持续完善，人才队伍建设是关键环节。社区医院建设应与各地“十四五”规划相衔接，稳步推进；多部门协同配合，强化社区医院政策保障，推动社区医院高质量发展。
