Objective To better promote the health education and health promotion among patients with chronic disease, general practitioners (GPs) in the community should master the knowledge of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This paper aimed to describe the current situation of GPs' knowledge about prevention and treatment of NCDs. Methods Self-designed questionnaires were issued to 1 077 GPs in community health service centers, and all GPs finished the questionnaire without assistance. The content of questionnaire includes the general information of GPs and six questions focusing on NCDs. Results Overall, 1 076 GPs completed the questionnaire, and the response rate was 99.9% (1 076/1 077). With regard to the six questions about NCDs, 90.4% (973/1 076) of GPs were well aware of the diagnosis of hypertension. Apart from that, the knowledge of diabetes mellitus (60.9%, 655/1 076), factors related to NCDs (70.2%, 755/1 076), the concepts of mental illness (52.0%, 560/1 076) and the clinical significance of tumor markers (87.9%, 946/1 076) among GPs were adequate, while more than half of the GPs did not know a lot about home oxygen therapy. Conclusion The mastering level of knowledge about prevention and treatment of NCDs among GPs varies that they need further improvement.

In recent ten years, general practitioner (GP) training and practice develops rapidly in China. It has established a relatively complete GP training system, including medical college education and standardized residency training. However, the path of continuing professional development and clinical skills improvement for GP after standardized residency training is still unclear. The concept of GP with special interest (GPSI) has been proposed these days, and it has put forward a new development direction for the career path of GP. In this article, on the basis of understanding the current status of GPSI in China, we try to discuss its advantages and problems, and then propose our suggestions for its future development.

Objective To study the protection effect of dexmedetomidine and ulinastatin on acute lung in-jury caused by hepatic ischemia reperfusion. Methods 50 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: the blank group, saline group, the dexmedetomidine group, the ulinastatin group, the dexmedetomidine and ulinastatin group. Ischemia-reperfusion models were established and drugs were administrated through femoral vein. The levels of MDA, SOD and ICAM were detected. Results Compared with the blank group, the rest of the groups of PaO2, pH and SOD activity were significantly lower (P < 0.05), and BE, pathological grading, MDA, ICAM levels were significantly higher (P<0.05). PaO2, pH and SOD activity of ulinastatin group were significantly lower in the phys-iological saline group (P < 0.05), BE, pathological grading, MDA level, ICAM levels were significantly elevated in the physiological saline group (P<0.05). Conclusion Combination of dexmedetomidine and ulinastatin have protection effect on acute lung injury caused by hepatic ischemia reperfusion, its mechanism may be related to in-hibit neutrophil aggregation, improve their antioxidant capacity and inhibition of lipid peroxidation.

ObjectiveTo establish a method to induce heterotopic ossification (HO) after spinal cord injury. Methods10 New Zealand White rabbits underwent a complete transection of the thoracic (T10) spinal cord. Just after transection, the right hind limb of every rabbit was immobilized with a plaster support to keep the knee in extension and the hip unrestricted. The plaster was temporarily removed once a day (six times per week) to allow the knees passively mobilized at the maximum range for 5 min. Local swelling, local skin temperature and grade of ossification of the paraplegic limbs were observed. After 5 weeks, the rabbits were sacrificed, and the quadriceps muscles of the right hind limbs were removed for the histological examination. ResultsAfter 5-week immobilization and temporary passive mobilization, HO was successfully induced in all 10 rabbits. There was local skin temperature increase and local swelling in the right hind limbs. The histological changes were similar to those observed in clinical HO. Conclusion5-week immobilization and temporary passive mobilization approach may successfully induce HO, and it may be used to study the pathogenesis of HO after spinal cord injury.
