Quantitative evaluation of two-way referral policies based on PMC index model.

Objective: Perfect policy system support is the key to effective work, and policy evaluation can provide theoretical basis for policy revision. This study aims to quantitatively evaluate the two-way referral policy in China and thus improve the policy system of two-way referral.

Methods: This research focuses on 14 two-way referral policies published from 2007 to 2021.

Composition and influencing factors of hospitalization expenses for epilepsy patients based on path analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to understand the composition and influencing factors of epilepsy patients' hospitalization expenses, thus providing a reference for reducing the disease burden of epilepsy patients in low- and middle-income developing countries.

Methods: A total of 4206 hospitalized cases of epilepsy from 2018 to 2020 were collected. Descriptive statistics were used to understand the patient cost composition, path analysis was used to understand the direct and indirect factors of hospitalization expenses.

Coupling coordination degree of healthcare resource supply, demand and elderly population change in China.

Object: To analyze the trend of the coupling and coordination of the supply and demand of healthcare resources between the elderly population and healthcare resources in China during the period of 2012-2022, to reveal the impact of the growth of the elderly population on the relationship between the supply and demand of healthcare resources, and to put forward suggestions to improve the coupling and coordination between the supply and demand of healthcare resources and the elderly population, in order to cope with the challenges of an aging society.

Methods: By obtaining relevant data from authoritative data sources such as China Statistical Yearbook, Health and Health Statistics Yearbook, and the Chinese government website from 2012 to 2022, we constructed a comprehensive measurement index for the three systems of elderly population, healthcare resource supply, and healthcare resource demand; Using the entropy value method to assign weights to the indicators, combined with the coupling coordination degree model, to reveal the changes of the elderly population change and the supply and demand of medical and health resources; using ArcGIS technology, to study the spatial characteristics of the elderly population change and the supply and demand of medical and health resources.

Results: From 2012 to 2022, the supply and demand of healthcare resources and the variation of the elderly population in China show a continuous growth trend, and the comprehensive development level of the system gradually climbs from a low level to a high level.

Development of a nutritional screening and assessment indicator system for patients with esophageal cancer in China: Findings from the Delphi method.

Background: In China, individuals diagnosed with esophageal cancer are confronted with an elevated risk of nutritional inadequacy or malnutrition throughout the course of their disease, a condition that contributes to various adverse clinical outcomes. A vast corpus of data are burgeoning at an unprecedented rate, primarily due to the revolutionary growth of digitalization technologies and artificial intelligence, notably within the domains of health care and medicine. The purpose of this investigation is to initiate the development of a nutritional screening and assessment indicator framework for patients with esophageal cancer within the Chinese context.

Chinese adult segmentation according to health skills and analysis of their use for smart home: a cross-sectional national survey.

Background: Digital health has become a heated topic today and smart homes have received much attention as an important area of digital health. Smart home is a device that enables automation and remote control in a home environment via the internet. However, most of the existing studies have focused on discussing the impact of smart home on people.

Pattern Classification for Ovarian Tumors by Integration of Radiomics and Deep Learning Features.

Background: Ovarian tumor is a common female genital tumor, among which malignant tumors have a poor prognosis. The survival rate of 70% of patients with ovarian cancer is less than 5 years, while benign ovarian tumor is better, so the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is important for the treatment and prognosis of patients.

Objectives: Our aim is to establish a classification model for ovarian tumors.

Positive association of nap duration with risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in an occupational population in Guangdong Province, China: a cross-sectional study.

Background: A lack of sleep or disorder in sleep-wake cycles has been associated with metabolic impairments. However, few studies have investigated the association between daytime napping duration and the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This study aimed to investigate the association of daytime napping duration with the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in a Chinese population.

Physical Self Matters: How the Dual Nature of Body Image Influences Smart Watch Purchase Intention.

To determine the role of physical self in body-involving consumption, we explore how body image influences purchasing intention toward hybrid products with body-involving features. In this study, we establish the dual nature of body image: specifically, body image influences intention to purchase via the perception of utilitarian value and symbolic value. Further, we find a competitive mediation in which positive body image (PBI) negatively influences purchase intention (direct effect), while PBI is positively related to purchase intention via utilitarian and symbolic value (indirect effect).

Breakfast consumption frequency is associated with dyslipidemia: a retrospective cohort study of a working population.

Background: Dyslipidemia is a significant contributor to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Research on the relationship between breakfast consumption frequency and dyslipidemia in the working population is lacking. Therefore, we aimed to investigate this relationship based on a retrospective cohort study of a large working population in China.

Interleukin IL-5 alleviates sepsis-induced acute lung injury by regulating the immune response in rats.

To study the effect of IL-5 on the immune response and lung injury in rats with sepsis. We constructed a rat model of sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The rats were randomly divided into the control group, the sham group, the CLP group and the IL-5 group, with 6 rats in each group.

[Comparison of different methods for drug delivery via the lumbar spinal subarachnoid space in rats].

Objective: To compare 3 commonly used methods for drug delivery via the lumbar spinal subarachnoid space in rats.

Methods: We compared the effects of 3 methods for drug delivery via the lumbar spinal subarachnoid space in Sprague Dawley rats, namely acute needle puncture, chronic catheterization via laminectomy, and non-laminectomized catheterization. Body weight changes of the rats were measured, and their general and neurological conditions were assessed after the surgeries.

[Effects of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome and age on sleep architecture].

Objective: To investigate the effects of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and age on sleep architecture and the therapeutic effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 222 subjects undergoing polysomnography (PSG) for snoring, who received CPAP under PSG on the next day following the initial PSG. The sleep architecture of the subjects in different age groups and in groups with different severities of OSAHS was analyzed before and after adjustment for apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) or age.
