IntroductionThe case-mix method involves combining cases with similar complexities and medical services. The process of treating one episode of the disease and receiving treatment is the research unit, thus achieving different medical units. The feasibility of the calculation method is verified by calculating the public hospital consumption ratio, medical income, health materials expenditure indicators, and the differences between the various types of surgical combinations. A decision-making basis can then be provided for the creation of government indicator standards.MethodsMedical records and data on the expenditure of medical consumables for the first and fourth quarters of 2017 were collected from seven third-class provincial hospitals. The medical consumption ratio for different diseases and surgical methods was calculated for the case-mix groups using a weighting method. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and the independent samples t-test.ResultsThere were significant differences in the proportions of combined use for different types of diseases. The same combination also had significant differences between different hospitals. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the operating group's consumption ratio was significantly lower than in the first quarter (p = 0.000).ConclusionsIt is reasonable to calculate the proportion of consumption by combined weighted analysis, which is also fairer for hospitals with better technical levels. This calculation method can be used by governments to manage the use and cost of medical consumables in hospitals.

SummaryDespite the clinical benefit associated with the combined use of aspirin and clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndrome or those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, a considerable interindividual variability in response to these drugs have been consistently reported. There is a growing interest on applying platelet functional tests with the goal of identifying patients at increased risk of recurrent ischaemic events and potentially tailoring antiplatelet treatment regimens.This manuscript will review the state of the art on the most commonly available platelet functional tests, describing their advantages and disadvantages and exploring their applicability in clinical practice.

Summary Aim: Our goal was to determine the clinical usefulness of TI-201 to identify breast cancer in patients with suspicious breast lesions on clinical examination, and/or abnormal radiologic (mammography and/or ultrasonography) findings. Methods: TI-201 scintigraphy were performed in sixty-eight patients with 70 breast abnormalities (51 palpable, 19 nonpalpable) and compared with mammography and ultrasonography (US). Early (15 min) and late (3 h) images of the breasts were obtained following the injection of 111 MBq (3 mCi) of TI-201. Visual and semiquantitative interpretation was performed. Results: Final diagnosis confirmed 52 malignant breast lesions and 18 benign conditions. TI-201 visualized 47 of 52 (90%) overall malignant lesions. Thirty-eight of 40 (95%) palpable and 9 of 12 (75%) nonpalpable breast cancers were detected by TI-201 scintigraphy. The smallest mass lesion detected by TI-201 measured 1.5x1.0 cm. Eleven breast lesions were interpreted as indeterminate by mammography and/or sonography. TI-201 scintigraphy excluded malignancy in 7 of 8 (88%) patients with benign breast lesions interpreted as indeterminate. Five of the 18 (28%) benign breast lesions showed TI-201 uptake. None of the fibroadenoma and fibrocystic changes accumulated TI-201. TI-201 scintigraphy, mammography and ultrasonography showed 90%, 92%, 85% overall sensitivity and 72%, 56%, 61% overall specificity respectively. Twenty-one of the 28 (75%) axillary nodal metastatic sites were also detected by TI-201. In malignant and benign lesions, early and late lesion/contralateral normal side (L/N) ratios were 1.58 ± 0.38 (mean ± SD) and 1.48 ± 0.32 (p >0.05), 1.87 ± 0.65 and 1.34 ± 0.20 (p<0.05) respectively. The mean early and late L/N ratios of malignant and benign groups did not show statistical difference (p>0.05). Conclusion: Overall, TI-201 scintigraphy was the most specific of the three methods and yielded favourable results in palpable breast cancers, while it showed lower sensitivity in nonpalpable cancers and axillary metastases. Combined use of TI-201 scintigraphy with mammography and US seems to be useful in difficult cases, such as dense breasts and indeterminate breast lesions.
