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.
In 2021, West China Hospital of Sichuan University established a rare disease diagnosis and treatment and research center. The center adopts the rare disease management model of “one cohesion + four integration”, condenses the core of management, integrates clinical resources, regional alliance resources, training resources and research resources, and explores solutions for all-round services for patients with rare diseases. This article aims to explore the rare disease management model of regional central hospitals and introduces the above-mentioned rare disease management model. The purpose of this article is to promote this model, focus on the advantages of clinical departments and research institutes (offices), increase regional integration, give play to the synergy of regional alliances in clinical diagnosis and treatment and personnel training, and use international cooperation as an opportunity to promote breakthroughs in new drugs and technologies for rare diseases to benefit patients with rare diseases in China.
This article introduces the exploration and establishment of “grass-roots Party building + targeted poverty alleviation” model by the Party Branch of Emergency Department of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and discusses how to establish the “trinity mode” of management support, personnel training, and on-site guidance under the leading of grass-roots Party building through a series of the branches combined activities, according to the core idea of “strengthening the Party construction, bringing people closer together, and promoting development”. The aim is to form a long-term mechanism of grass-roots Party building and targeted medical poverty alleviation through continuously implementing this model, which can benefit more people in remote and ethnic minority areas and contribute to “Healthy China 2030”.
Objective To collect and analyze the data of emergency medicine supply for both Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes victims in the West China Hospital, so as to provide evidence for scientifically and efficiently carrying out the logistical support for emergency rescue medicines supply, and improving the coping capacity for those similar public health emergencies. Methods Both medicine constituent ratios and DDDs were taken as evaluation indexes, and the data were input by Excel software. Then the following items were analyzed: the use and cost of emergency medicine for victims admitted in the hospital from one day to one month after earthquake, as well as, the acceptance, allocation and use of the donation medicines for both Wenchuan and Lusan earthquakes. Results During the first month after Lushan earthquake, the victims used 26 categories of medicines involving 455 drug specifications in the West China Hospital. The dosage and DDDs of therapeutic medicines were higher than those of ancillary medicines. The donation medicines for Lushan earthquake accepted by the hospital were in 8 categories involving 16 drug specifications, and they were all used to rescue the victims in the hospital. Based on the hospital emergency medicine supply system oriented by the information of victim’s medicine use, the drug specification and total drug cost of the donation medicines for Lushan earthquake decreased by 90.91% and 89.73%, respectively, indicating a more accurate and efficient system compared with those for Wenchuan earthquake. Conclusion The implementation of the hospital emergency medicine supply system oriented by the information of victim’s medicine use is helpful to improve the time efficiency and pertinence of earthquake medical rescue.
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.
ObjectiveTo explore the application value of “Project Work Mode of West China” in the online prevention and control of new coronavirus (2019-nCoV).MethodBased on the rich experience of earthquake relief and project management in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, the “Project Work Mode of West China” was continuously optimized by PDCA cycle.ResultsThe “Project Work Mode of West China” could be applied to the 2019-ncov public health emergency, and the closed loop of rapid response had been established. The whole project team ran well and the system operation and maintenance were stable.ConclusionsThe “Project Work Mode of West China” provides a working path for the online epidemic prevention and control. The use of internet remote cooperative office effectively promotes the scientific emergency management of the epidemic and plays an active role in the online epidemic prevention and control.
After Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, West China Medical School/ West China Hospital of Sichuan University organized a youth volunteer team for earthquake rescue and relief. A volunteer network was formed and relevant service regulations were formulated immediately. Volunteers have played an important role in post-earthquake evacuation of patients, emergency reception, ward care, on-call service, a service to help people find family members, telecommunications and some other major tasks.
In recent years, reports of domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty have gradually increased. In response to problems that may arise during the perioperative period, West China Hospital of Sichuan University has adopted measures such as the establishment of multidisciplinary team, adequate preoperative evaluation, precise intraoperative operations, and whole process optimization management (incision management, pain management, functional exercise and follow-up management). Combined with the actual clinical situation, a domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty management program during the perioperative period was explored and formulated to promote the recovery of patients. This article introduces the above-mentioned program, and aims to provide a reference for the management optimization of domestic robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty during the perioperative period.
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemics, universities take responsibility for the health of their students and epidemic control. Our urgent recommendation focuses on four key questions of emergency management in universities following rigorous evidence-based approaches and provides timely suggestions to university managers, academic faculties and student affairs managers. We recommend universities during the COVID-19 epidemics should: 1) suspend offline lectures; 2) provide proper health education on the disease; 3) encourage face masks, however oppose using N95 masks on the campus; 4) encourage hand hygiene and provide sanitizing products on the campus.
Shortly after Wenchuan earthquake, the department of nosocomial infection control initiated the emergency response plan immediately. Based on the conditions of the wounded delivered to the hospital, especial infection control plans were designed to prevent hospital acquired infections of multi-drug resistant bacteria and infectious disease spread in hospital. The infection control persons inspected the health care workers carried out the plans every day. Through enforced the rules of standard precautions, contact precautions and disinfection methods thoroughly, an effective and efficient medical rescue service has been offered to the wounded.
