Objective To conduct a bibliometric analysis of pediatric literature in recent 5 years in Pubmed database,and to explore the focus issues of pediatrics.Methods Bibliographies from research literature of pediatrics in PubMed database from 2012 through 2016 were retrieved.The publication years,journals,the prolific authors and frequency of Mesh major topics were counted.MeSH heading/subheading matrix were formed.SPSS 19.0 statistical software was applied for clustering analysis.Results A total of 9375 articles were included.There were 45 MeSH heading/subheadings,which were clustered into 4 categories.Conclusion The research focuses in pediatrics are as follows:the clinical competence training and education research;the related pediatric issues from the perspective of social medicine;medical error prevention and the related legislation;the situation of Chinese pediatricians and doctor-patient relationship.

Taking three Chinese databases (CNKI,WANFANG and VIP) as data sources,the paper retrieves documents about Clinical Pathway (CP) dated from 2000 to 2009 and dated from 2010 to 2015 as well as respectively performing the clustering analysis and strategic coordinate analysis of high-frequency keywords on dereplicated document set,summarizes the study hotspots of documents about CP in China.

Objective To provide a scientific basis for the formulation of effective incentive measures for rural health workers,by analyzing the factors influencing their work enthusiasm and constructing an incentive mechanism framework.Methods A field questionnaire survey and personal in-depth interview were conducted on 803 health technicians from 45 township health centers in Shandong,Anhui and Shanxi provinces.The study covered economic,management,education and career supports aspects,and the data were analyzed in descriptive,multi-level model and correlation analyses.Results The work enthusiasm scoring of rural health workers was 89.83 + 9.54.Workload,doctor-patient relationship,work competence and income index were the four influencing factors,with the differences showing statistical significance(P <0.05).The income index (income expectancy/real income affects work) influences the enthusiasm negatively,while the rest of the factors were positive.Work enthusiasm was positively correlated with three dimensions of job performance.The satisfaction of interpersonal relationship,workload and competence were positively correlated with work enthusiasm.The correlation indexes are respectively 0.35,0.33 and 0.21 (P < 0.01).Conclusions To motivate primary health institutions and their health workers,the authorities should focus on the economic factors,and take into account non-economic ones,while improving the performance-based wage system and creating a fair workplace culture.

Objective:To establish a method for determining the concentration of gatifloxacin in rabbit ocular tissue and compare the ocular pharmacokinetics of 0.3% gatifloxacin eye gel after a single and multiple topical instillations in rabbits.Methods:Ninety-four healthy New Zealand rabbits were selected.Ten rabbits were randomly selected without any treatment for blank tissue collection, and the remaining 84 rabbits were randomly divided into a single-dose group (36 rabbits) and a multiple-dose group (48 rabbits) equally between males and females using a random number table.The left eye was taken as the experimental eye.The single-dose group was given one drop of 0.3% gatifloxacin eye gel into the left eyes, and the rabbits were divided evenly into six subgroups.In each subgroup, tear specimens and blood specimens were collected at 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 hours after gel application, then cardiac blood samples were taken, after which animals were sacrificed immediately to collect ocular tissue including aqueous humor, conjunctiva, cornea, sclera, iris-ciliary body, lens, vitreous body, retina, and choroid.The multiple-dose group was given 1 drop of gatifloxacin ophthalmic gel in the left eye three times a day.At 0.5 hour after the first administration days 4 and 6, and 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 hours after the first administration on day 7, the cardiac blood sampling and ocular tissue collection were performed.The methanol precipitation protein method was used to pretreat samples, and the concentration of gatifloxacin in rabbit plasma and eye tissue was measured and calculated by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method to obtain pharmacokinetic-related parameters such as peak concentration (C max), peak time (T max), and area under curve (AUC).The mobile phase was a methanol-0.1% acetic acid aqueous solution (volume ratio=70∶30), and a positive ion multiple reaction detection mode was used.Ciprofloxacin was used as the internal standard, the selectivity, standard curve and lower limit of quantification, accuracy and precision, extraction recovery rate, matrix effect, and stability of the method were validated in accordance with the 9012 Guidelines for Validation of Quantitative Analysis Methods for Biological Samples in Chinese Pharmacopoeia ( 2020 edition).Combined with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC 90) of gatifloxacin on common ocular infectious bacteria, C max/MIC 90 and AUC/MIC 90 were calculated.The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Shenyang Xingqi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.(No.XQ-2016-011). Results:Gatifloxacin has a good linear relationship in various eye tissues and plasma.The between-run precision in corneal tissue is within the range of -1.5%-6.0%, and the daytime precision was not greater than 15%.The extraction recovery rate in corneal tissue ranged from 92.0% to 94.8%, and the precision of the matrix effect at low, medium, and high concentrations calculated by internal standard normalization was not greater than 3.3%.After a single topical instillation, gatifloxacin reached a high concentration in anterior and posterior segment ocular tissues and its distribution ranked in order from the highest to the lowest by AUC 0-t as follows, tears, cornea, conjunctiva, iris-ciliary body, sclera, aqueous humor, choroid, retina, lens and vitreous body, with the C max of 94.90 μg/g, 7.34 μg/g, 3.65 μg/g, 1.81 μg/g, 1.75 μg/g, 1.31 μg/ml, 0.86 μg/g, 0.53 μg/g, 0.13 μg/g and 0.07 μg/ml, respectively.T max was 1 hour in all ocular tissues except in the lens, choroid, and vitreous body fluid, where T max was 0.5 hour.There was no significant difference among the concentrations of gatifloxacin in ocular tissues at 0.5 hour on days 4, 6 and 7 after multiple dosing ( P>0.05), and the AUC 0-t in the cornea, conjunctiva, and sclera was approximately 2.04, 2.12, and 2.32 times that of the single dosing.The concentration of gatifloxacin released into the systemic circulation after single and multiple dosing was less than 25.00 ng/ml.For both Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics in the conjunctiva, cornea, sclera, iris-ciliary body, aqueous humor, and choroid were satisfied with C max/MIC 90≥10 and AUC/MIC 90≥30 after continuous administration of gatifloxacin ophthalmic gel. Conclusions:A rapid and sensitive method for measuring gatifloxacin concentration in ocular tissues is successfully constructed.Gatifloxacin ophthalmic gel administered three times a day for three days can achieve stable concentrations in ocular tissues, and the concentration of gatifloxacin in ocular tissues is increased compared with a single dose.Effective treatment of common bacterial infections of the conjunctiva, cornea, sclera, and iris-ciliary body can be achieved with topical application of gatifloxacin ophthalmic gel.
