    Objectives: In this study, we analyzed negative online public opinion in tertiary hospitals and evaluated corresponding risk by applying the Kaiser Model. Methods: Through data and expert group discussion, combined with the hospital's actual negative online public opinion management, we determined the opinions posing higher risk. The hospital's risk questionnaire for negative opinion was designed based on the Kaiser Model. The whole hospital staff was then trained and investigated. An Excel worksheet was used for statistical analysis and risk calculation.Results: According to the ranking of risk value, the top 5 negative online public opinions were drug supply and demand, in-hospital parking, handling of public health emergencies, the service attitude of hospital guidance staff, and interpretation of medical insurance policies. Conclusion: The hospital needs to revise and improve the emergency response plan for negative online public opinion based on the analysis results and reports of opinion risks. This is helpful for strengthening hospital-level emergency training, improving the hospital's ability to manage negative opinion risks, and promoting the hospital to become passive about negative online public opinion.

    Gene therapy became in last decade a new emerging therapeutic era showing promising results against different diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and neurological disorders. Recently, the genome editing technique for eukaryotic cells called CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regulatory Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) has enriched the field of gene surgery with enhanced applications. In the present review, we summarized the different applications of gene surgery for treating human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, nervous, and cardiovascular diseases, besides the molecular mechanisms involved in these important effects. Several studies support the important therapeutic applications of gene surgery in a large number of health disorders and diseases including β-thalassemia, cancer, immunodeficiencies, diabetes, and neurological disorders. In diabetes, gene surgery was shown to be effective in type 1 diabetes by triggering different signaling pathways. Furthermore, gene surgery, especially that using CRISPR-Cas possessed important application on diagnosis, screening and treatment of several cancers such as lung, liver, pancreatic and colorectal cancer. Nevertheless, gene surgery still presents some limitations such as the design difficulties and costs regarding ZFNs (Zinc Finger Nucleases) and TALENs (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases) use, off-target effects, low transfection efficiency, in vivo delivery-safety and ethical issues.
