In addition, the first Chinese medicine hospital in HK will be operated in 2025. More and more HK citizens and Chinese medicine practitioners (CMPs) believe that there is a need to develop CM specialties. However, over the years, no major breakthrough in the HK CM specialty system development due to disagreements among CMPs on how to divide CM into specialties. This article aims to find out a possible CM specialty system by discussing the reasonable study time of specialties, treatment methods and diseases, sustainable development of subspecialties, and characteristics of CM. It is recommended that a three-year basic training on CM treatment skills, which are \"Chinese Materia Medica\", \"Acupuncture and Moxibustion\" and \"Tuina\", plus three-year advanced training on a disease basis by an independent specialist college. This structure provides a comparable structure to the current Western medicine specialty system with the possibility and feasibility for continuing development of the CM specialists that can temporarily satisfy the opinions of all parties. This suggested structure may act as a foundation to facilitate the discussion in the CM industry.","PeriodicalId":367287,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Public Health","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123479351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, only a few demographic and clinical factors, such as advanced age, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, have been associated with poor outcomes and increased risk of mortality from COVID-19. In the Labe region, the lethality of COVID-19 disease remains high in people with comorbidities. In our study, comorbidities were frequently associated with COVID-19 infection and were dominated by hypertension and diabetes. This recognition may help direct efforts toward prevention and management. The objective of the study was to describe the factors associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients with comorbidities hospitalized in the Labe region (Epidemiological Treatment Centers -CT Epi-and home). Methods: The study was carried out in the CT-Epi of COVID-19. It focused on the analysis of 1443 records of patients hospitalized in the CT-Epi of the Labe Region. It was a transversal and analytical study conducted in July 2022. Factors associated with mortality in patients with comorbidities were identified through patient records and content analysis.

Methods Totally 869 patients were divided into low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions negative group including normal, inflammation and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) positive group including HSIL, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma confirmed by ThinPrep cytologic test, HC2 HPV-DNA, high-risk HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection and colposcopy biopsy. The pathological result on HSIL positive was as the gold standard to evaluate the value of joint detection of HC2 HPV-DNA and high-risk HPV E6/E7 mRNA to the screening of cervical cancer. Results The positive rates of HPV E6/E7 mRNA and HPV-DNA detection in 869 patients were 46.1% and 61.3%, and increased with the severity of cytological grade and cervical level ( P <0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of HPV E6/E7 mRNA were 97.4% and 64.9%, higher than those of HPV-DNA (89.0%, 44.6%) ( P <0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of joint detection of HPV E6/E7 mRNA and HPV-DNA were 99.3% and 56.7%. The overall consistency rate and positive consistency rate were higher for HSIL positive (87.6%, 87.0%) than those for HSIL negative (70.5%, 30.5%) ( P <0.05). Conclusion The positive expressions of HPV E6/E7 mRNA and HPV-DNA are closely correlated with the severity of cervical lesions, and the joint detection of them two has high sensitivity and specificity.","PeriodicalId":367287,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Public Health","volume":"26 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114024346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods From January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021, inpatients in the oncology department of a hospital were selected. The data of relative weight, average cost, average length of stay, major diagnosis, other diagnosis, surgery or operation were collected. The stability of RW in different months and the correlation of relative weight, average cost and average length of stay were compared so as the correlation between the primary diagnosis, other diagnosis, surgery or operation and DRG and RW. Results There was no significant difference in RW from January to June, P>0.05. The relative weight, average cost and average length of stay was in the same trend. Errors in major diagnosis, other diagnosis and related surgery or operation led to different DRG groups. And RW increased by 5.83% after adjustment. Conclusion DRG can be used as a method to measure the work efficiency of oncology department. Different diagnosis and the order of surgery or operation can affect the correct group of DRG.
