Objective To systematically review the current situation, dilemmas and countermeasures of the regulation of health care integration services in China, and provide reference for the research on the regulation of health care integration services in China. Methods Studies and policies on the regulation of health care integration services were systematically searched from the inception of the databases to October 2022, and the included studies and policies were coded and analyzed by using the qualitative analysis software NVivo12. Results A total of 12 research articles and 15 policy announcements were included. The theoretical framework, regulatory dilemmas and regulatory countermeasures for the regulation of health care integration services were obtained through open coding, axial coding and selective coding. The regulatory framework of health care integration services was divided into five aspects: regulatory basis, regulatory subject, regulatory object, regulatory content and regulatory methods. The lack of regulatory basis led to dilemmas in the remaining aspects accordingly. Conclusion The regulation of health care integration services needs to start from the regulatory basis, introduce and improve the health care integration laws and policies, and gradually form a health care integration service regulatory model with institutional self-regulation as the priority, government regulation as the main body, and the public, third parties and other social regulation as the auxiliary.
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of sensory integration training combined with methylphenidate hydrochloride on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). MethodsThe clinical data of 96 patients with ADHD diagnosed between January 2009 and March 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups by the table of random number. The trail group (n=48) received the combination therapy of sensory integration training combined with methylphenidate hydrochloride; while the control group (n=48) only received the medication of methylphenidate hydrochloride. The scores of sensory integration ability rating scale, integrated visual and auditory continuous performance test (IVA-CPT), Conner's behavior rating scale, Chinese Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (C-WISC) and adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups. ResultsThe scores of the sensory integration ability rating scale, FRCQ, FAQ (IVA-CPT), PIQ, VIQ, FIQ, C factor (C-WISC) in both of the two groups were significantly higher after the therapy; while the scores of the study, behavior, somatopsychic disturbance, impulsion, hyperactivity index and anxiety factor significantly decreased after the treatment (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the trial group's scores of sensory integration ability rating scale, IVA-CPT, Conner's behavior rating scale, C-WISC were improved obviously, and the adverse reactions were significantly less (P<0.05). ConclusionThe sensory integration training combined with methylphenidate hydrochloride is sage and effective on children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

With high thermal stability, excellent mechanical properties, suitable biocompatibility and radiolucency, polyaryletherketones (PAEKs) have been widely used in biomedical field such as trauma, spinal implants, craniomaxillofacial repair and so on. However, PAEKs are bio-inert in nature and often show weak osteointegration with host bone, limiting their further utilization in biomedical application. Therefore, how to improve the bioactivity and osteointegration of PAEK implants has become the focus in biomedical field. This paper reviews the current research advance and some existed problems in bioactive PAEKs, and outlooks the possible solution.

Discipline construction is the core of hospital survival and development, and an important carrier for hospitals to show service ability and play social benefits. The practice of Ziyang Central Hospital shows that the group department operation service model, by bringing together operational, performance, medical, insurance, and clinical department staff into a team, led by a member of the party and government leadership, has a positive impact on the development of the discipline, and has achieved significant results. This paper summarizes and analyzes the group department operation service model at Ziyang Central Hospital, and proposes that this service model is a new pathway to promote discipline development and provides a new perspective and reference experience for the hospital to achieve business and finance integration.
In recent years, 3D-printed porous titanium scaffold has become a focus of research in bone defect repair due to their controllable pore structure and good biocompatibility. Its main strategies include pore design to optimize mechanics and bone ingrowth, surface functionalization modification to enhance osseointegration and anti-infection ability, and loading of bioactive molecules to achieve temporal release and promote vascular osteogenic coupling. Individualized precise reconstruction is gradually being carried out in clinical applications, but long-term safety, manufacturing accuracy, and cost-effectiveness remain challenges. This article reviews the research progress of 3D-printed porous titanium scaffold in bone defect repair, summarizes their application advantages and limitations, and looks forward to directions such as intelligent coatings, immune regulation, and artificial intelligence, in order to provide a reference for their clinical translation.
Meditation aims to guide individuals into a state of deep calm and focused attention, and in recent years, it has shown promising potential in the field of medical treatment. Numerous studies have demonstrated that electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns change during meditation, suggesting the feasibility of using deep learning techniques to monitor meditation states. However, significant inter-subject differences in EEG signals poses challenges to the performance of such monitoring systems. To address this issue, this study proposed a novel model—calibrated multi-source adversarial adaptation network (CMAAN). The model first trained multiple domain-adversarial neural networks in a pairwise manner between various source-domain individuals and the target-domain individual. These networks were then integrated through a calibration process using a small amount of labeled data from the target domain to enhance performance. We evaluated the proposed model on an EEG dataset collected from 18 subjects undergoing methamphetamine rehabilitation. The model achieved a classification accuracy of 73.09%. Additionally, based on the learned model, we analyzed the key EEG frequency bands and brain regions involved in the meditation process. The proposed multi-source domain adaptation framework improves both the performance and robustness of EEG-based meditation monitoring and holds great promise for applications in biomedical informatics and clinical practice.
