Objective To study the relationship between ATP level changes detected by hepatic 31P MRS with the pathologic changes of liver in rabbits and to investigate the diagnostic value of ATP level changes in acute hepatic radiation injury. Methods A total of 30 rabbits received different radiation doses ( ranging from 5,10,20 Gy) to establish acute hepatic injury models. Blood hepatic function tests, 31P MRS and pathological examinations were carried out 24 h after irradiation The degree of injury was evaluated according to hepatocyte pathology. Ten healthy rabbits served as controls. The MR examination was performed on a 1.5 T imager using a 1H-31P surface coil with 2D chemical shift imaging technique. The relative quantities of phosphomonoesters (PME), phosphodiesters (PDE), inorganic phosphate (Pi) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were measured. Analysis of variance was used to compare the results of 31P MRS and histopathology under various acute hepatic radiation injuries, and SNK was used further to conduct comparison between each other if there was significant difference. Results The ATP relative quantification in control( n= 10), mild ( n = 12), moderate ( n = 11 ), and severe ( n = 7 ) injury groups according to pathological grading were 1.83 ± 0. 33, 1.58 ± 0. 25, 1.32 ± 0. 07 and 1.02 ± 0. 18, with significant differences among them (F =22. 878 ,P <0. 01 ), and it decreased progressively with the increased degree of injury. The PDE index showed no significant trend for the evaluation of hepatic radiation injury. The area under the peak of β-ATP decreased with the increased severity of radiation injury. Conclusions The relative quantification of hepatic ATP levels can reflect the pathological severity of acute hepatic radiation injury. The decreasing hepatic ATP levels may be used as biomarker of acute liver injury following radiation.

Objective To examine the occupational stability,training needs and capacity building requirements of the general practitioners purposely trained to work in rural communities,for improvement of policies regarding their training and issues related. Methods There counties were selected by stratified random sampling, where general practitioners graduated from such training completed an anonymous questionnaire. Focus group interviews were made to officials of the local Health and Family Planning Commission,those of primary healthcare institutions,and general practitioners themselves. Results The of the 190 valid questionnaires recovered, male accounted for 34. 2% and female 65. 8%. These general practitioners were mostly satisfied with their working environment, social status, work stress and job achievement,yet with lower satisfaction with their salary and availability of medical devices. Consideration of resignation was reported by only 5. 3% of them,with more males than females. As high as 63. 2% of them prefer to work in hospitals of county level. 91. 1% of them held it as necessary to participate in standard resident training,and 98. 4% held it as necessary to have on-job training. 94. 7% of them have participated in further education to gain a bachelor degree in medicine. Conclusions These doctors were found with high stability to work in rural communities and low turnover intention. Further studies are required to encourage these general practitioners to serve rural communities in a long term, and to improve the standard resident training mechanism,and their career development.

Objective:
To construct the public health performance evaluation index system for the county medical community, so as to provide reference for the assessment of the public health work in the county medical community.
Methods:
According to the 2019 Public Health Tasks of Zhejiang Province and the current status of the county medical community's public health work, a framework was developed. Twenty experts from universities, CDCs, and county medical community were invited to construct the index system after two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, and the index weight was determined by the analytic hierarchy process.
Results :
The experts aged ( 46.10±6.41 ) years and worked for ( 23.85±7.37 ) years, all of whom had a bachelor degree or above, and 18 had associate senior titles or above. The response rates of two rounds of consultation was both 100.00%; the authority coefficient was 0.811; the values of Kendall's W all had statistical significance ( P<0.05 ) , which in the second round were higher than those in the first round. The public health performance evaluation index system for county medical community finally included 10 first-level indexes, among which priority diseases surveillance and management weighed most ( 0.165 7 ) ; 32 second-level indexes, among which food-borne diseases surveillance, infectious diseases/public health emergencies reporting and infectious diseases/public health emergencies response weighed the top three ( 0.071 5, 0.064 7, 0.063 8 ); 120 third-level indexes, among which the timely reporting rate of food safety incidents, the reporting rate of infectious diseases and the information response rate of infectious diseases/public health emergencies weighed the top three ( 0.039 4, 0.022 1, 0.021 7 ).
Conclusion
The public health performance evaluation index system of the county medical community has been established, which can provide reference for the health administrative departments.
