The sustained and stable release of drugs is a key problem to be solved in various antibacterial coatings research. The intelligent antibacterial coating which release antibiotics only in the presence of bacteria is the future direction of development.
Objective To investigate the orthopaedic inpatients’ disease and cost constitution of the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu during 2008-2010, so as to provide detailed baseline data for further research on the factorial analysis of disease burden and effective intervention. Methods The medical records of inpatients in orthopaedic department of the hospital during 2008-2010 were collected, and the diseases based on the first diagnosis on discharge records were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Results During 2008 to 2010, the total number of inpatients increased year by year. Most of the male inpatients were the young and middle-aged, while the female were the old. The rank order of top 5 systematic diseases didn’t change, while there were 6 single diseases kept ranking as top 10 in those 3 years. The average cost per capita averagely grew by 8.97%. The top 3 constitution of hospitalization cost remained the same, which were material cost, drug cost, and treatment cost; while the top 3 payment modes of hospitalization cost were patient’s own expense, social security, and public expense. Among those payment modes, social security rose obviously, and patient’s own expense reduced generally. Conclusion a) The total number of inpatients increases yearly during 2008-2010, and the gender and age distribution of inpatients are tending towards stability. b) The spectrum of disease and single diseases classified according to the one-level code of ICD-10 are relatively stable in those 3 years; of which the top ranked disease is lumbar disc herniation, and the disease with most obviously rising trend is intertrochanteric fracturethe. c) The hospitalization cost per capita rises year by year, of which the constituent ratio of both material and examination costs grow obviously, but the operation, treatment and bed costs are still lower. It requires a multi-pronged approach to control the increase of hospitalization cost as well as the rationalization of cost constitution. d) Among all payment modes of hospitalization cost, the constituent ratio of patient’s own expense reduces year by year, while social security rises, indicating the medical security in national social security has been further expanded.

ObjectiveTo understand the current national status of the rating of published orthopedic guidelines and consensus in China, to help users select the appropriate use of these clinical guidelines, to guide clinical practice, and to promote the targeted improvement of the quality of Chinese orthopedic guidelines and consensus. MethodsChinese biomedical databases, including CNKI, WanFang Data, and SinoMed were searched electronically from January 2016 to October 2023, and relevant Chinese orthopedic clinical practice guidelines and consensus documents were collected. Two evaluators independently screened the retrieved literature and extracted data. The scientificity, transparency, and applicability rankings (STAR) tool was used to comprehensively rate Chinese orthopedic guidelines and consensus documents published in medical journals since 2016. Any dispute between the two evaluators was resolved by consulting a third evaluator. Kappa values were used to evaluate the consistency of the results between the two evaluators. ResultsA total of 191 orthopedic-related guidelines and consensus documents were obtained, including 74 guidelines and 117 consensus documents. The average score of the guidelines included in the evaluation was 34.4 points, while the average score of consensus documents included in the evaluation was 21.7 points. Guidelines scored higher than consensus documents in areas such as registration, planning, workgroups, clinical issues, evidence, consensus methods, recommendations, accessibility, and other fields. The Kappa value test result was 0.684. ConclusionThere has been a progressive increase in methodological scores of Chinese orthopedic clinical practice guidelines and consensus documents published in recent years, but the overall quality is not high. Future guidelines development needs to improve methodology further, especially in terms of transparent funding, formation of recommendations, guidelines release, and dissemination.
