In order to reform the medical talent evaluation system, establish evaluation systems of physician competency, and implement physician resources management systems according to work position, and the compensa-tion system which reflects the value of medical services, The basic principles and standards of different physician tiers and grades are created in Shenzhen based on literature review, expert consultation and the methods from the American Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ( CMS) . Some results have achieved, including medical competency as-sessment of a certain number of physicians in the pilot project ( the coincidence rate of special hospitals is higher than general hospitals, respectively 78. 9% and 44. 8% ), comprehensive personnel systems reforms in public hospi-tals, and the trial selection of medical talents. The paper also provides some implications:The cognition of all sectors of society and physician themselves should be improved, Transitional policies for position recruitment and performance pay needs further improvement. Meanwhile, the grade evaluation system of non-physicians must also be given greater attention.

[Objective] The present study aimed to determine the protective role of Melatonin (MT) against Acrylamide (AA)-induced testicular toxicity and the potential molecular mechanism.[Methods] The animals were randomly divided into three groups,the control group (n =12),the AA group (n =12) and the AA+MT group (n =12).The rats in the AA and AA + MT group were gavaged with AA at a dose of 15 mg/(kg · day) for 4 consecutive weeks.After 3 weeks of AA treatment,MT was intraperitoneally injected 30 minutes before AA treatment at 10 mg/(kg· day) for 1 week in the AA + MT rats.Subsequently,the mitochondrial membrane potential measurement,TUNEL assay,Western blot and electron microscopic techniques were applied in the present study.[Results] The results showed that AA could decrease the testis mitochondrial membrane potential (P < 0.05) which could be recovered by MT (P < 0.05).Moreover,MT induced down-regulation of Bax expression and up-regulation of Bcl-2 expression in the testis,compared with AA rats.The amelioration of testicular apoptosis was further confirmed by the TUNEL labeling.Western blot results suggested that the decreased ratios of Bcl-2/Bax and Bcl-xL/Bak in the AA group (both P < 0.05) could be recovered by MT treatment (both P < 0.05).The levels of Cyt-c,Casp-3,p53 and NF-κB in AA group were markedly elevated compared with the control (all P < 0.05),and reduced in MT treatment group (all P < 0.05).MT could relieve abnormal mitochondrial structures in the seminiferous tubule in the electron microscopic level.[Conclusion] MT may exert productive effect through its anti-apoptotic properties associated with mitochondria.

Objective:To investigate the value of bedside transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) in volume reactivity assessment of children with septic shock.Methods:A total of 41 children aged from 1 to 5 years with septic shock requiring mechanical ventilation admitted to PICU from January 2017 to June 2020 were prospectively included.Under the condition of complete mechanical ventilation, full sedation and analgesia, and no spontaneous breathing(tidal volume 8 to 10 mL/kg), volume expansion was given to children.Hemodynamic indexs such as cardiac index(CI), stroke volume index(SVI) and stroke volume variability(SVV) were measured before and after volume expansion by noninvasive cardiac output monitoring(NICOM) and TTE.Moreover, aortic flow velocity time integral variable degrees(ΔVTI), inferior vena cava variability(ΔIVC) and inferior vena cava dilation index(dIVC) were also measured by TTE.Patients were considered to be responsive to volume expansion if SVI NICOMincreased≥15%.Based on the responsiveness of volume expansion, all the patients were divided into response group and non-response group.The value of SVV TTE, ΔVTI, ΔIVC, dIVC, ΔCVP and SVV NICOMin predicting volume responsiveness were analysed. Results:(1) There were 23 cases in response group and 18 cases in non-response group.Before volume expansion, there were no statistically significant differences in general hemodynamic indexes HR, MAP, CVP, EF, CI NICOM, and CI TTEbetween two groups( P>0.05). (2) In response group, HR, MAP, CI, SVI and CVP were all improved after volume expansion( P<0.001). In non-response group, only CVP was significantly increased after volume expansion, while other indexes were not improved( P>0.05). (3)Before the volume expansion, SVV TTE, ΔVTI, ΔIVC, and dIVC in response group were higher than those in non-response group( P<0.001). After volume expansion, these indicators were significantly reduced in response group.In non-response group, only ΔIVC significantly reduced after volume expansion.(4) The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of SVV TTEand ΔVTI was 0.971, with 12.04% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.957 and the specificity was 0.944. The area under the curve of ΔIVC was 0.981, with 25.98% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.870 and the specificity was 1.000.The area under the curve of dIVC was 0.980, with 29.86% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.870 and the specificity was 1.000. The area under the curve of ΔCVP was 0.778, with 2.5 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa) as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.913 and the specificity was 0.556. The area under the curve of SVV NICOMwas 0.874, with 12.50% as the threshold, the sensitivity was 0.869 and the specificity was 0.778. Conclusion:The dynamic indexes SVV, ΔVTI, ΔIVC and dIVC monitored by TTE have good accuracy in evaluating children′s volume responsiveness, among which the accuracy of ΔIVC and dIVC is relatively the highest; the value of ΔCVP in predicting volume responsiveness is limited.

Objective To explore the relationships among hope level, coping style and quality of life (QOL) in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. Methods From September 2016 to September 2017, 139 MG patients of Shaoxing People's Hospital were selected by convenience sampling. The hope level, coping style and QOL of patients were investigated with the Herth Hope Index (HHI), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30). Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the correlations among them and influencing factors of QOL respectively. Results The total score of HHI, score of confrontation dimension, avoidance dimension, yield dimension of MCMQ and score of total QOL of MG patients was (35.85±3.14), (18.78±3.67), (15.82±2.37), (9.94±2.79) and (52.33±11.83) respectively. Correlation analysis showed the total score of HHI of MG patients was positively associated with the total score of total QOL (r=0.675, P<0.05); the confrontation coping style was positively associated with the total QOL (r=0.613, P<0.05); the yield coping style had a negative correlation with the total QOL (r=-0.582, P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed the influencing factors of QOL of MG patients included the burden of medical expense, classification of Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA), total score of HHI and yield. Conclusions The QOL of MG patients is in a low level. The main influencing factors of QOL of patients involve the burden of medical expense, classification of MGFA, hope level and yield coping style.
