ObjectiveTo study the current situation of WeChat public platforms in 15 provincial hospitals in Hubei Province.MethodsWe searched the website of National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, website of Health Commission of Hubei Province, and the official website of each hospital. The WeChat public platforms of 15 provincial hospitals in Hubei Province was determined as the research object. Samples were taken in July, 2019 and the observation cut-off point was on October 30, 2019. All the contents released by the WeChat public platforms in July were counted. Literature research, descriptive statistics, content analysis, WeChat transmission index analysis, observation indicators and other methods were used for analysis and research.ResultsAmong the 15 hospitals, 14 hospitals (93.3%) had established 20 WeChat public platforms, and 5 hospitals (33.3%) simultaneously opened service accounts and subscription accounts. The functions of serving the patients’ medical experience mainly included identity registration, appointment registration, information inquiry, patient feedback, intelligent medical guidance, etc. WeChat tweets were mainly divided into 38.0% of popular medical science, 11.4% of hospital news, 15.8% of medical service, 13.6% of party and government construction, and 21.2% of patient interaction. The monthly push times of 6 WeChat public platforms (30.0%) were less than 4 times. The monthly original rate of WeChat public platform tweets was 16.3%. Among the top 10 WeChat public platforms in the WeChat communication index, 8 (80.0%) were service accounts. There was a big gap in the dissemination effect of tweets.ConclusionsThe WeChat public platform of provincial hospitals in Hubei Province has problems such as single type of WeChat public platform, imperfect service functions, unreasonable tweets frequency, insufficient originality of tweets, and uneven communication effects. It is necessary to enrich platform types, improve platform functions, ameliorate the frequency of tweets, improve the originality of tweets, and pay attention to communication effects.

Embedding its functional information into the human morphological framework and constructing a digital twin of skeletal muscle for simulating physical and physiological functions of skeletal muscle are of great significance for the study of "virtual physiological humans". Based on relevant literature both domestically and internationally, this paper firstly summarizes the technical framework for constructing skeletal muscle digital twins, and then provides a review from five aspects including skeletal muscle digital twins modeling technology, skeletal muscle data collection technology, simulation analysis technology, simulation platform and human medical image database. On this basis, it is pointed out that further research is needed in areas such as skeletal muscle model generalization, accuracy improvement, and model coupling. The methods and means of constructing skeletal muscle digital twins summarized in the paper are expected to provide reference for researchers in this field, and the development direction pointed out can serve as the next focus of research.
ObjectiveTo explore the anesthesia management experience in the interventional treatment of pediatric congenital heart diseases (CHD) percutaneously guided by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) on a mobile operating platform. Methods From March to July 2023, a total of 13 patients from remote areas underwent interventional treatment for CHD on the mobile operating platform of Fuwai Yunnan Cardiovascular Hospital. Patients who received non-tracheal intubation general anesthesia were retrospectively included. ResultsEight children who had difficulty cooperating with the surgery (due to young age, emotional tension, crying) received monitored anesthesia care with local anesthesia supplemented by sedative and analgesic drugs while maintaining spontaneous breathing under the monitoring and management of an anesthesiologist (i.e., non-tracheal intubation general anesthesia). Among them, there were 5 males and 3 females, with an age of (6.95±3.29) years and a body weight of (19.50±6.04) kg. Through transthoracic echocardiography, they were diagnosed with atrial septal defect (6 patients), residual shunt after patent ductus arteriosus ligation (1 patient), and severe pulmonary valve stenosis (1 patient). The surgery proceeded smoothly, with satisfactory anesthesia and surgical effects, complete analgesia, and satisfactory postoperative recovery. There was 1 patient of body movement and 1 patient of respiratory depression during the operation, and both patients completed the surgery successfully after treatment. All children had no serious surgery- and anesthesia-related complications. The anesthesia time was 40.5 (34.5, 47.5) min, the surgery time was 39.0 (33.0, 45.5) min, and the recovery time was 43.0 (28.0, 52.5) min Conclusion Interventional surgery for CHD guided by TTE at a mobile platform is a minimally invasive approach without radiation damage. Non-tracheal intubation general anesthesia with spontaneous breathing can be safely and effectively implemented in children who cannot cooperate.

Methods The residency standardized trainees who rotate in the gynecology outpatient of West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University between July 2021 and June 2022 were selected. According to the random number table method, the trainees were divided into the control group (using the traditional teaching mode) and the intervention group (using the teaching mode of combining the flipped classroom and simulated teaching relying on the new media platform). The assessment results, teacher evaluation, trainees self-evaluation and teaching satisfaction of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results A total of 118 trainees were enrolled, 59 in each group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, years of training and education level between the two groups (P>0.05). The total scores of evaluation scores (87.59±4.54 vs. 85.17±3.70), teachers’ evaluation (87.05±3.79 vs. 85.14±3.75), and trainees’ self-evaluation (87.81±4.41 vs. 85.54±3.96) of trainees in the intervention group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The clinical thinking ability [teachers’ evaluation (24.49±1.62 vs. 23.22±2.05), trainees’ self-evaluation (25.25±1.99 vs. 23.97±2.27) and operation skills [teachers’ evaluation (37.05±1.58 vs. 36.10±1.99), trainees’ self-evaluation (36.75±2.73 vs. 35.66±2.56)] of trainees in the intervention group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The satisfaction rate of the trainees in the intervention group was 98.3%, and that of the trainees in the control group was 93.2%. The teaching satisfaction of the intervention group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The teaching mode of combining flipped classroom and simulated teaching relying on the new media platform has effectively stimulated residency standardized trainees’ learning interest in gynecological outpatient surgery, improved trainees’ clinical practice ability, improved teaching satisfaction, achieved good teaching results, and can be promoted as a new teaching mode.
With the continuous advancement of internet technology and the improvement of internet literacy among the general population, the concept of online-offline integration in internet hospitals has gradually gained acceptance and has been applied and developed both domestically and internationally. In thoracic surgery, the applicability of this model lies in enhancing efficiency and delivering comprehensive, diversified, and personalized medical services to address complex and severe conditions. However, challenges such as hardware limitations and diagnostic/treatment risks persist during the implementation of internet hospitals. Through future in-depth and localized research, the online-offline integration of internet hospitals is expected to undergo further development and refinement. This progress will facilitate its integration into clinical practice in thoracic surgery, ultimately providing patients with improved medical care services.
As a science which focuses on evidence, the decision making process of evidence medicine encounters an opportunity for development in the big data era. The starting point is shifting forward from evidence to data. The big data technology is playing an active role in evidence's collection, process and utilization. Evidence is more objective, righteous, authentic, transparent and easier to collect. Thus, to initiate evidence-based medicine research in the big data era and to structure an evidence-based medicine intelligent service platform, a full-scaled strategy should be developed in order to improve the quality of evidence. To promote the complete publicity of clinical research data, structuralized clinical data standard should be constructed. To provide a pathway to patients' follow-up data, portable and wearable monitoring devices should be popularized. To avoid risks from utilization of clinical research big data, regulations of clinical data usage should be implemented.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of rotating-platform prosthesis for valgus knee deformity in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
MethodsA retrospective analysis was made on the clinical date of 25 cases (28 knees) of valgus deformity undergoing primary TKA by using Gemini MK II rotating-platform prosthesis. There were 6 males (7 knees) and 19 females (21 knees), aged from 47 to 82 years, with an average age of 64.8 years. The unilateral knee was involved in 22 cases and the bilateral knees in 3 cases. The causes included osteoarthritis in 20 cases (22 knees), rheumatoid arthritis in 4 cases (5 knees), and traumatic arthritis in 1 case (1 knee). The disease duration was 2-22 years (mean, 10.4 years). The main clinical symptoms were arthralgia combined with limited movement. According to the Keblish grade, there were 13 knees of mild deformity, 11 knees of moderate deformity, and 4 knees of severe deformity.
ResultsAll incisions healed by first intension. No complications of infection, cutaneous necrosis, deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism occurred. The postoperative follow-up duration was 12-60 months (mean, 25.4 months). Medial instability and palsies of nervus peroneus communis occurred in 1 and 2 cases respectively, and all were cured after symptomatic treatment. No patellar and polysthylene insert dislocation, prosthetic loosening or infection was observed. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, femoral tibial angle, maximun flexion and extension angles, knee range of motion, and patellar score were significantly improved at last follow-up when compared with preoperative ones (P<0.01).
ConclusionThe rotating-platform prosthesis for valgus deformity can obtain satisfactory effectiveness, but it requires precise soft tissue balancing technology, and the long-term effectiveness remains further observation.

Objective To analyze the current state, evaluate the accuracy, and determine the influencing factors of hypertension-related subscriptions from official health WeChat accounts. Methods The 36 official health WeChat accounts on the WeChat official accounts monthly list │ September 2022 China WeChat Top 500·New Rank certification were searched using the term "hypertension". We identified diabetes-related subscriptions published from April 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022. The accuracy of subscriptions was analyzed according to the consistency with clinical practice guidelines and was independently assessed by two specialists. SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis. Results One hundred and one subscriptions from 36 official health WeChat accounts were included. Forty-seven (46.5%) subscriptions were evaluated as consistent, seven (6.9%) subscriptions were evaluated as inconsistent, and forty-seven (46.5%) subscriptions were evaluated as unconfirmed. The differences between the numbers of reads, "wow" and "like" per thousand reads, were statistically significant. Consistency rates were higher for tweets backed by evidence and experts, and for tweets posted by public figures with the accreditation type "government". Conclusion Hypertension tweets have a good audience base, some of the content is inconsistent with current clinical guideline recommendations, and readers have little ability to screen them. There is a need to develop and improve the review mechanism for writing and publishing hypertension tweets on WeChat.
