  Objective To provide references and suggestions for researchers and regulatory authorities in promoting the coordinated development of health, pharmaceutical and medical insurance standardization work. Methods Based on the current standard management policies of health, pharmaceutical and medical insurance industries, the similarities and differences in regulatory, organizational, and technical management systems were compared and some special points were analyzed. Results Relatively complete standard management systems have been established in the health, pharmaceutical medical insurance industries, but there were differences in these systems due to various factors. The pharmaceutical standard regulatory system was the most comprehensive, with national occupational health standards and national drug standards, possessing the status of national standards, issued by industry regulatory authorities, and standard management technical organizations could be established by them. Standardization work in the medical insurance industry was still in its infancy, and there was considerable room for improvement in the standard management system. Conclusion In order to promote the development of the medical and health system, it is suggested to optimize the medical and pharmaceutical standard technology system, improve the construction of medical device standard regulatory system, accelerate the construction of the medical insurance standard management system, and establish the joint working mechanism for health, pharmaceutical and medical insurance.

  Objective To investigate the influence of standard single fiber on the luminous flux test results of endoscope cold light sources. Methods The same endoscopic LED cold light source was tested successively as follows: select four standard single optical fibers with different numerical apertures for comparative testing of total luminous flux, select three standard single optical fibers using the same method for measuring luminous energy transfer efficiency for comparative testing of total luminous flux, and conduct comparative testing of spot size after coupling the cold light source with standard single optical fibers/optical cables. By calculating the standard deviation of multiple test stability, and analyzing the relative deviation range of different optical fiber test results in comparative testing, the influence of numerical aperture, light energy transfer efficiency, and fiber coupling on the total luminous flux test results of standard single optical fibers was analyzed. Results The standard deviation obtained from repeated tests of the four standard single optical fibers did not exceed 1% of the measured value, indicating good stability of the test system itself. The relative deviation of the test results of the standard single optical fibers with numerical apertures ranging from 0.36 to 0.64 was -9.28% to +6.89%. Similarly, the relative deviation of the test results of three different standard single optical fibers measured by visible laser for light energy transmission efficiency reached -5.66% to +8.30%, both showing relatively large deviations. Additionally, the coupling efficiency between the cold light source and the standard single optical fiber/matching optical cable was also different, indicating that the standard single optical fiber couldn’t completely replace the optical cable provided with the cold light source equipment for simulation experiments. Conclusion By analyzing the influence of standard single optical fiber parameters on the luminous flux test results of endoscopic cold light sources, it is found that the non-uniqueness of numerical aperture specifications directly affects the test results of total luminous flux, and there are certain differences between the parameters of standard single optical fibers specified in the standards and the actual optical cables used in endoscopic systems. In order to improve the level of quality control and practical significance of testing, it is recommended that standard single optical fibers are no longer used in total luminous flux testing, but instead standard cables approved by manufacturers are directly tested after being adapted.

  Objective To explore the impact of different acquisition energy window widths on the quality and quantitative accuracy of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images. Methods Using the NEMA/IEC quality control model, six small balls and a phantom cavity were perfused with 320 and 10 kBq/mL 99mTcO4 - solution (sphere background ratio of 32∶1), with a main energy peak of 140 keV and window widths of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, respectively. The maximum uptake value and average radiometer value of different diameter small balls were measured, and the same volume of region of interest was copied in the background area next to the hot ball. The average radiometer count value and standard deviation of the background were automatically measured. The coefficient of variation (CV) of the background, the Contrast between balls and backgrounds, the recovery coefficient, and absolute error were calculated, and quantitatively evaluation of the images was performed. Results As the diameter of each small ball increased, the CV values and Contrast of each small ball gradually increased. The CV value was significantly higher than the other three groups under the 5% window width collection condition, and the differences between 5% and 10%, 5% and 15%, and 5% and 20% were statistically significant (P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in pairwise comparison between the other groups (P>0.05). The Contrast decreased with the increase of acquisition window width, and the overall difference was statistically significant (F=15.730, P<0.05). The overall difference in the recovery coefficients obtained under four different window width collection conditions was statistically significant (F=10.670, P<0.05). The average recovery coefficient obtained was highest at 20% window width, followed by 15% window width, and lowest at 5% window width. The overall difference in absolute error obtained under four collection conditions was statistically significant (F=11.370, P<0.05). The average absolute error obtained was the smallest at 15% window width, followed by 10% window width, and the largest at 5% window width. Conclusion The acquisition of different window widths can have an impact on the quality and quantitative accuracy of SPECT images. The CV value of images collected with a 15% window width is relatively small, the Contrast is high, the radioactive concentration ratio is close to the true value, and the absolute error is the smallest, which is recommended for clinical collection.

Specifically, the overall accuracy of YOLOv8m across all categories was 0.9597, with a sensitivity of 0.8176. Among the 11 categories, the “bleeding” category had the highest sensitivity at 0.9342, while the “erythema” category had the lowest sensitivity at 0.6832. In terms of processing speed, YOLOv8m took a total of 16.37 seconds to process 2729 images. Conclusion The AI model based on the YOLOv8m network can swiftly and precisely detect and classify various small intestine lesions, demonstrating significant potential for assisting endoscopists in enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of CE diagnoses.

  Objective To propose a dual-task self-supervised learning method, which uses unlabeled medical imaging data to extract general visual representations, aiming to enhance the precise segmentation capabilities of deep learning models in cranial CT scans (including cerebral hemorrhage, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and routine scans). Methods Combined with image reconstruction and classification as auxiliary tasks, under the condition of 70% image information was occluded, a lightweight feature fusion mechanism between tasks was used to optimize the output representation of pre-training. To evaluate the effectiveness of this method, the average Dice coefficient (mDice) and Hausdorff Distance 95% (HD95) were used as evaluation indexes. After the pre-training process of the self-supervised method, the performance of the downstream brain tissue segmentation model was observed. Results Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method effectively improved the performance of different deep learning models in segmentation tasks. In a standalone supervised learning environment, ConvNeXt-V2-Base achieved the highest mDice value of 0.8812, while the segmentation method performed optimally in terms of HD95 index of 7.95. Compared to the MAE method, the introduction of the self-supervised pre-training strategy resulted in the best mDice (0.9589) and HD95 (7.10) outcomes for our segmentation method. Additionally, a significant improvement was observed in the segmentation performance of DenseNet121_Backbone, with the mDice metric increasing to 0.9512. Conclusion The self-supervised pre-training method and encoder model exhibit certain advantages in representation learning within CT imaging data, effectively enhancing the model performance for downstream brain tissue segmentation tasks.

  Objective To compare the dosimetric differences between personalized oral filling and oral stents used in radiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancer. Methods The imaging data of 19 patients with oropharyngeal cancer admitted to the radiotherapy department of our hospital was selected as research objects. All patients were conducted oral stent fixation during simulated positioning. The target area and normal tissue were delineated on the localization CT image, and the original treatment plan (Plan0) was implemented using volumetric modulated radiotherapy. The cavity area containing the stent in the oral cavity was delineated separately on the planned CT, and the mean value was assigned to achieve density filling. The original planned dose was recalculated and saved as Plan1. The D2% (dose received by 2% of the target volume, and so on), D50%, and D98% of the gross target volume (GTV) in two plans were compared, as well as D2%, D50%, D98%, V5 (volume percentage of organs receiving at least 5 Gy dose, and so on), V10, V15, V20, V25, V30, V35, V40, V45, V50, V55, V60 in the oral and air cavity areas; Dmax (maximum dose), Dmean (average dose), and Dmin (minimum dose) of the tip, middle, base of tongue, and left and right parotid glands. And the correlation between oral dose parameters and exposure dose to the tongue and parotid gland was analyzed. Results The D98% (P=0.016) of GTV, Dmin (P=0.038) of the tongue tip, Dmax (P=0.046) of the left parotid gland, and Dmean (P=0.019) of the right parotid gland in the simulated personalized oral filling group all decreased. At the same time, D50%, D98%, V15, V20, V25, V35, V40 and V45 in the oral cavity of Plan1 all decreased. And the evaluation indicators D50%, D98%, V15, V20, V25, V30, V35, V40 and V45 of the intraoral cavity area were also decreased compared with the oral stent group, and all the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). According to correlation analysis, V15, V20, V25, V30, V35, V40 and V45 in the oral cavity were positively correlated with Dmean and Dmin of the entire tongue (P<0.05). Meanwhile, V15, V30, V35, V40 and V45 were all positively correlated with the Dmax of the tip of tongue, in addition, V35 and V40 were also positively correlated with the Dmax of the middle of tongue (P<0.05). The V15, V20, V25, V30, V35, V40 and V45 in the air cavity area were positively correlated with the Dmean of the tip of tongue, and except for V15, they were positively correlated with the Dmax of the tip of tongue.

  Objective Based on cone beam CT (CBCT) images, to compare the positioning errors between the head-neck-shoulder combined with abdomen thermoplastic membrane fixation method and the breast bracket fixation method, and study the clinical applicability of head-neck-shoulder combined with abdomen thermoplastic membrane fixed in intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for patients with breast cancer. Methods A total of 40 patients with breast cancer receiving IMRT were selected. All patients were randomly divided into head-neck-shoulder combined with abdomen thermoplastic membrane fixed group (20 cases) and breast bracket group (20 cases). Before radiotherapy, each patient was scanned by CBCT once a week. The positioning errors, inter-fraction displacement and positioning efficiency of two groups in the X (left-right), Y (in-out), and Z (front-back) directions were analyzed. Results The positioning errors of the head-neck-shoulder combined with abdomen thermoplastic membrane fixed group and the breast bracket group in the direction of X, Y, and Z were as follows: (1.97±0.94) and (2.11±1.55) mm, (2.54±0.57) and (2.82±1.46) mm, (1.27±0.62) and (2.28±0.96) mm, (P=0.801, 0.604, 0.013). The inter-fraction displacement errors were (0.76±0.50) and (1.24±0.52) mm, (1.34±0.15) and (2.52±1.18) mm, (0.73±0.33) and (0.88±0.53) mm, (P=0.453, 0.296, 0.773). The positioning time was (6.5±1.7) and (8.7±3.1) min (P=0.485). The pass rates for the first positioning in the X, Y, and Z directions in the two groups were 90% and 85%, 80% and 70%, 100% and 95% (P=0.632, 0.464, 0.235) and the pass rates for the inter-fraction positioning were 92% and 82%, 88% and 79%, 94% and 88% (P=0.036, 0.086, 0.138). Conclusion In the IMRT for breast cancer, the head-neck-shoulder combined with abdomen thermoplastic membrane fixed technique is simpler and easier to implement, which can control the positioning errors and inter-fraction radiotherapy displacements to a certain extent, especially in the positioning errors in the Z direction, meanwhile improve the positioning efficiency.

  Objective To construct a multi-output model based on XGBoost algorithm to predict the dose of bladder and rectum in volumetric modulated arc therapy for cervical cancer. Methods A total of 120 patients who received volumetric modulated arc therapy for cervical cancer in our hospital were selected as research objects. Twenty patients were randomly selected as the test set, while the remaining 100 patients data were divided into a training set using a 4∶1 ratio and subjected to five-fold cross-validation to construct an XGBoost prediction model. The distance to target histogram information of bladder and rectum structures in all patients’ CT scans and the dose drop-off function f(x) in the plan were used as input to extract bladder and rectum differential dose volume histograms. These histograms were discretized at 2 Gy intervals to create multiple dose endpoints (DEs) as outputs, forming a multi-output model. The model’s predictions’ DEs were evaluated against clinical actual values using mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) to measure the differences. The dose volume percentage (VRx) was used to compare the model’s predicted cumulative dose volume histogram (cDVH) curves with clinical cDVH curves to assess differences. Results For the rectum dose volume histogram (DVH) curve, the MAE value of all DEs was 0.0206 and the RMSE value of all DEs was 0.0287. For bladder DVH curve, the MAE value of the DEs was 0.0339 and the RMSE value of the DEs was 0.0450. Comparing predicted values with clinical actual values using VRx, approximately 91.8% of bladder predicted values had differences within a 5% error range compared to actual values. For the rectum, the percentage of predicted values within a 5% error range compared to actual values was 94.0%. Furthermore, the model’s DVH prediction performance was better for bladder volumes <500 mL, while it needed improvement for bladder volumes >500 mL. For rectum, the DVH models exhibited excellent performance in different volume. Conclusion A novel multi-output model based on XGBoost required less GPU performance and can optimization process quickly and help medical physicist rapidly assess of dosimetry of rectum and bladder. It provides a new method in the application of radiotherapy by machine learning.

  Objective To optimize the allocation of medical resources, improve service efficiency, solve the problems of primary medical institutions in puncture biopsy interventional surgery due to the distance, weather barrier, time conflict and other reasons can not receive the consultation and implementation from high-level experts, to bring positive social and economic benefits for the medical institutions. Methods Taking a provincial grade Ⅲ-A hospital as an example, combined with the business characteristics of remote interventional surgery, the system was designed by using the micro-service architecture, and the information system that met the actual needs of remote medical collaboration among multiple hospitals was constructed by using distributed development. The puncture effect was verified by using the 3D simulation body model combined with the simulation of physiological movements, such as blood flow and respiration, to carry out the simulation test. Results Based on the trusted network, the platform provided efficient and stable video communication and file transmission, 3D reconstruction and display, puncture path synchronization and other modular mechanisms. Statistically, for the three groups of trajectories with different lengths, the average angular error (AE), target positioning error (TPE), lateral error and first success rate (FSR) were 1.20°±0.71°, (2.35±1.01) mm, (1.85±1.17) mm and 43%, respectively.

  Objective To analyze the factors influencing the quantity of clinical engineering personnel allocation, and to construct a mathematical model for the quantity of clinical engineering personnel allocation. Methods Based on the Annual Baseline Questionnaire of Shanghai Medical Device Management Quality Control Center in 2021, Stata 15.0 was applied to collate and analyze the data, and explore the statistical relationship between the quantity of clinical engineering personnel and the establishment of procurement centers, outsourcing or not of business, number of hospital beds, hospital grade and total assets of medical equipment, etc. The least square method was used to construct a multiple regression model, and the posterior analysis was carried out on the model. Results Spearman correlation analysis showed that the quantity of clinical engineering personnel was correlated with the number of hospital beds (r=0.7665, P<0.05), hospital grade (r=0.5942, P<0.05), and outsourcing or not of business (r=-0.2924, P<0.05). The coefficient of determination R2 was 0.6229, indicating a good fit of the model. In the posterior analysis, the model had no multicollinearity (VIF=1.74<5) and no obvious outliers (Dmax=0.394<0.5), the residuals had no autocorrelation (d=1.936>du, du=1.73), and the residuals were normally distributed (P=0.199>0.05), and satisfied the homogeneity of variance. Therefore, this multiple regression model had statistical significance. Conclusion There are three variables affecting the quantity of clinical engineering personnel in Shanghai, including the number of hospital beds, hospital grade and outsourcing or not of business. The number of hospital beds and hospital grade are positively correlated with the quantity of clinical engineering personnel, while outsourcing not of business is negatively correlated with the quantity of clinical engineering personnel.

  Objective To research the main effectiveness evaluation functions of injection pumps based on real world data (RWD) to reflect their true performance in clinical practice, so as to establish a scientific and effective evaluation method. Methods A total of 37 injection pumps of 3 brands (M, F, L) in ICU of our hospital were selected as the research objects. According to the established clinical use evaluation indicators, the time of the first drop and response time of the injection pump were obtained at 3 flow rates of 5, 25 and 50 mL/h, respectively, to test the difference in the quick start performance of the injection pump. The average flow rate, relative indication error and indication repeatability were calculated to test the difference of injection precision. At 3 flow rates of 5, 10 and 15 mL/h, the flow rate fluctuation limit and interval time of the injection pump were obtained to test the performance difference of the automated relay of the injection pump. Results In terms of quick start function, the higher the set flow rate, the shorter the time and response time of the first drop of the injection pump, and the time and response time of the first drop of the injection pump of brand M were the fastest under the three flow rates (P<0.05). In terms of injection precision function, the flow rate control performance and indication stability of brands M and L were significantly better than brand F at the three flow rates (P<0.05). In terms of automated relay function, the lower limit of flow velocity fluctuation and interval time caused by artificial simulation of automated relay function were significantly different (P<0.05), and the higher the set flow rate, the shorter interval time was required for real-time flow rate to recover from the drop to the set value. In addition, the automated relay function of brand M could effectively solve the drug flow jitter or discontinuity generated during the relay process of the pre-sequence pump and the post-sequence pump, but there was an instantaneous flow rate rise, which could relatively ensure the stability and continuity of the drug flow. Conclusion The correct evaluation method for clinical use of injection pumps based on RWD can not only standardize clinical application behavior, but also provide data support for evaluation, admission/elimination, and centralized procurement/price negotiation of injection pumps.

  Objective To compare the effects of spectral single energy combined with model-based adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V (ASIR-V) and deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) at a fixed 100 keV on the image quality and radiation dose of the abdominal aorta. Methods Abdominal enhancement scans patients performed in The Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University from December 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into two groups according to the scanning technique they received, namely the conventional group (100 keV, DLIR-H) and the spectroscopic group (80/140 keV, ASIR-V 40%). In the conventional group, DLIR-H, DLIR-M, DLIR-L, ASIR-V 40%, ASIR-V 60%, and ASIR-V 80% were reconstructed. Using the energy spectral analysis software GSI Volume Viewer, the original data were reconstructed with two levels of ASIR-V 60% and ASIR-V 80%, and the images of 40~90 keV were reconstructed at 10 keV intervals on the three ASIR-V levels, and 19 groups of images were composed together with the 120 kVp-like mixed energy images. By comparing the standard deviation (SD), signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) of each group of images, the optimal single energy group was obtained. Results There were no statistically significant difference in SD, SNR and CNR between 60 keV combined with ASIR-V 60% compared with 120 kVp-like (P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in SNR, CNR and subjective scores between 60 keV combined with ASIR-V 60% compared with the conventional group (P>0.05), and the radiation dose and SD in the conventional group was lower and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion DLIR-H at 100 keV can meet the diagnostic requirements of the abdominal aorta while reducing the radiation dose. Relatively speaking, it is the optimal reconstruction algorithm of the abdominal aorta. 60 keV combined with ASIR-V 60% is the best combination of single energy and reconstruction grade for abdominal aorta reconstruction.
