Objective To study the effect of training methods for hospital infection management that through the whole process of diagnosis and treatment. Methods We selected part-time hospital infection personnel from Panyu Central Hospital of Guangzhou to form a teaching staff between January 1 and October 31, 2022. The teaching staff was randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using a random number table method. The control group received training using traditional theoretical training models, while the experimental group received training using a simulated hospital infection training teaching model that runs through the entire diagnosis and treatment process. The training effects of the two groups through theoretical knowledge assessment, operational skills assessment, and teacher satisfaction evaluation were compared. Results A total of 196 teachers were included, with 98 students in each group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, education level, major category, professional title, and years of work experience (P>0.05). The total score of theoretical knowledge examination in the experimental group [(88.49±8.33) vs. (80.35±13.57) points, t=5.062, P<0.001] was higher than the control group. Among them, the scores of hand hygiene standards for medical personnel, principles of aseptic operation, occupational exposure disposal, classification and disposal of medical waste were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The total score of the operational skills assessment in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group [(86.37±5.25) vs. (76.75±7.07) points, t=10.811, P<0.001], among which the scores during operation, after operation, and overall impression were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). The overall satisfaction in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (94.90% vs. 72.45%, χ2=18.076, P<0.001), among which the satisfaction with training methods, textbook value, course attractiveness, and clinical applicability were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Through the whole process of diagnosis and treatment training method for hospital infection management can significantly improve the training effectiveness of teachers. It is worth promoting in the teaching of hospital infection management for various levels and types of personnel.

Under the policy background of deepening the reform of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system in the country, large public hospitals, as centers for the diagnosis and treatment of difficult and severe diseases, face multiple challenges such as difficulty in patient appointment, difficulty in precise diagnosis and treatment, and difficulty in continuous medical care. To overcome this series of severe challenges, West China Hospital of Sichuan University has established a “panoramic” outpatient diagnosis and treatment service system for difficult and severe diseases based on the pain points of patients seeking medical treatment. This system optimizes the entire diagnosis and treatment process through innovative measures such as pre-diagnosis “three convergences”, during-diagnosis “three guarantees”, and post-diagnosis “three connections”. It not only significantly improves the efficiency and quality of diagnosis and treatment, but also provides patients with a high-quality and convenient medical service experience, offering a practical example for large public hospitals to address the diagnosis and treatment challenges of difficult and severe diseases.
Objective To review and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of minimally invasive treatment techniques for tibial plateau fractures (TPFs), as well as the research progress and limitations. Methods The relevant domestic and international research literature on the minimally invasive treatment of TPFs in recent years was reviewed. The advantages, disadvantages, and clinical efficacy of various technologies were summarized and analyzed, and an outlook on future development trends was provided. Results Surgery remains the primary method for treating displaced TPFs. Although traditional open reduction and internal fixation has advantages such as direct reduction and simplicity of procedure, it has gradually fallen out of favor with clinical orthopedic doctors due to extensive soft tissue removal, excessive bleeding, tissue adhesion, and postoperative complications such as skin infection, fracture nonunion, and joint dysfunction. As medical technology continues to develop, minimally invasive surgery and precise diagnosis and treatment are gradually being introduced to orthopedic trauma. Guided by concepts such as “minimally invasive treatment”, “homeopathic repositioning of fractures”, and “internal compression fixation”, many traction reduction devices, internal fixation devices, minimally invasive reduction techniques, and computer-aided navigation technologies have been widely used in the clinical treatment of TPFs. This has greatly helped to overcome the challenges of intraoperative reduction, secondary reduction loss, and postoperative functional impairment and effectively promoting the adoption of minimally invasive treatment techniques in the clinical treatment of TPFs. Conclusion Minimally invasive treatment techniques have made significant progress in the clinical treatment of TPFs, particularly with regard to the reduction, and have demonstrated unique advantages. While relevant research results have received international recognition, there is still a need for orthopedic scholars to conduct real-world research to further explore the underlying principles and mechanisms of action.
In the Spring Festival of 2020, China waged an unexpected battle against coronavirus disease 2019. Within the scope of constructing smart hospitals, it has become a brand-new subject concerning how the construction can facilitate the scientific prevention and control of the epidemic. According to the development direction, basing on the concept of “patient-centered” medical services, and combining with the construction ideas of traditional medical information products and emerging technologies, Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital, as the first government-leading “demonstration hospital for 5G application”, was fully dedicated to promoting the mode of contactless diagnosis and treatment and providing smart medical information service, thereby setting up a “scientific and technological firewall against the epidemic”.
American College of Cardiology (ACC) issued the updated expert consensus decision pathway on the management of mitral regurgitation in April 2020. The whole process in caring patients with mitral valve regurgitation from patient evaluation to treatment choice was discussed in the consensus. The main change from the 2017 version is the confirmation of the effect of transcatheter mitral valve repair on secondary mitral regurgitation. It standardized the process in this field. In this paper, we aimed to introduce the focus update of this consensus.
The shoulder joint is the most prone to dislocation in the whole body, and more than 95% of them are anterior dislocation. Improper treatment after the initial dislocation is easy to lead to recurrent anterior dislocation or anterior shoulder instability, and the outcomes following conservative treatment is poor. Anterior shoulder instability can damage the soft tissue structure and bone structure that maintain the stability of shoulder joint, among which bone structure is the most important factor affecting the stability of shoulder joint. Diagnosis should be combined with medical history, physical examination, and auxiliary examination. Currently, three-dimensional CT is the most commonly used auxiliary examination means. However, various bone defect measurement and preoperative evaluation methods based on three-dimensional CT and the glenoid track theory have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is still a lack of gold standard. Currently, the mainstream treatment methods mainly include Bankart procedure, coracoid process transposition, glenoid reconstruction with free bone graft, Bankart combined with Remplissage procedure, and subscapular tendon binding tamponade, etc. Each of these procedures has its own advantages and disadvantages. For the diagnosis and treatment of anterior shoulder instability, there are still too many unknown, further research and exploration need to be studied.
