Background:With the increase in pace and pressure of modern life,the aging of population,the change in dietary pattern and the challenge of social psychological problems,the overall prevalence of chronic constipation is increasing in general population in recent decades. Aims:To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of chronic constipation in medical staff. Methods:A total of 1 000 medical staffs were enrolled at random in Shanghai Ren Ji Hospital for fulfilling a questionnaire on associated factors of chronic constipation. Diagnosis of chronic constipation met the Rome Ⅲ criteria. Chi-square test and Logistic regression model analysis were performed to screen the potential risk factors for chronic constipation. The statistically significant variables revealed by chi-square test were taken into the Logistic regression model. Results:Nine hundred and eighty-six medical staffs completed the questionnaire,of them 115 were diagnosed as chronic constipation with a prevalence of 11. 7% . Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that reading/ playing cell phone when defecation,working pressure,anxiety,and depression were the risk factors,which might increase the prevalence of chronic constipation;while regular life style,regular diet,drinking water,and regular bowel movement were the protective factors,which might decrease the prevalence of chronic constipation. Conclusions:Chronic constipation is prevalent in medical staff in Shanghai. Psychological factors,dietary pattern and life style,etc. are considered to be implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic constipation. Favorable life style,dietary pattern,bowel habit and mental status are associated with the reduced risk of chronic constipation.

Objective:To inspect and improve physician professionalism effectively and preliminarily build eval-uation index system for physician professionalism.

Background:With the increasing of antibiotic resistance and decreasing of eradication rate of standard triple therapy, bismuth-containing quadruple regimens were recommended by the update Chinese consensus report for eradication of Helicobacter pylori( Hp ) infection. Aims:To evaluate the eradication rate of the recommended bismuth-containing quadruple regimens for guiding the choice of low cost and high efficiency eradication regimens. Methods:A search of online database( CNKI,Wanfang and VIP)was carried out. Clinical trials published in Chinese from 2011 to 2013 that evaluated the eradication rate of the recommended bismuth-containing quadruple regimens were retrieved. Data were extracted by standardized data forms. According to the categories raised by Dr. Graham,the eradication rates were graded and analyzed. Results:A total of 166 eligible articles including 192 clinical trials for eradication of Hp infection were obtained. Nationwidely,the eradication rates of amoxicillin-containing regimens were acceptable,among which PAFB( PPI+amoxicillin+furazolidone+bismuth)regimen was more prone to achieve excellent eradication rate(≥95%). PACB ( PPI+amoxicillin+clarithromycin+bismuth)regimen was optimal for Hp eradication in East China,and PAFB regimen was optimal in Central South China. A 14-day treatment course was appropriate. Conclusions:In the recommended bismuth-containing quadruple regimens,PAFB regimen might be the first choice nationwidely for eradication of Hp infection in individuals without amoxicillin-hypersensitivity because of its low cost and high efficiency. The recommended treatment course is 14-day.
