Objective:To understand the current situation of physicians′ competency in China and statistically analyze its influencing factors, hence providing referential evidences for promoting their competency.Methods:The evaluation scale for Chinese physicians′ competency was developed by referring to sophisticated overseas evaluation frameworks. Based on the electronic platform of the medical alliance, stratified sampling was conducted at 39 hospitals in 13 provinces, from which 2 156 physicians were surveyed, and statistical analysis was made on the current situation and influential factor of their competency in 6 dimensions(medical knowledge, diagnosis and treatment, scientific research and teaching, interpersonal communication, spirit of professionalism, population health)Results:The score range in multiple dimensions of physicians′ competency was between 2.85 and 3.89(5 in total), among which spirit of professionalism dimension scores the highest, and teaching and research dimension scores the lowest. Logistic regression analysis shows that their competency level in 6 dimensions is correlated to a range of factors, including gender, degree, title, supervisor qualifications, standardized training program of specialist physicians, and affiliation or not to teaching hospitals( P<0.05). Conclusions:Their overall competency is expected to be elevated. To name a few, they are lack of teaching and research abilities, and need to conduct clinical-oriented scientific research; they are expected to enrich knowledge structure, and need to embrace a wider concept of health; they need to improve their non-technical service abilities, and should further emphasize their humanistic quality; physicians′ practice competency depends upon their extent of medical education, and ensuring the quality of standardized training becomes the key measure.

The differences were signiifcant (P<0.05). Test results showed that the improvement of various hormonal indicators in observation group were also better than that in control group, the diffierences were significant (P<0.05). 8 cases of adverse reactions were observed in observation group after treatment, 12 cases in control group. Adverse reactions included breast tenderness, vaginal bleeding and gastrointestinal discomfort. The side effects between both groups had no signiifcant difference. Conclusion The efifcacy of Estradiol on perimenopausal syndrome was obvious, it can improve the menopausal symptoms, with less adverse reactions, and improve the life quality of perimenopausal women.

Objective To investigate the effects of ultrasound radiation force(USRF) on adhering of targeted microbubbles in vivo.Methods A rat model of cremaster muscle Inflammation was developed,and microbubble(MB) or targeted microbubble of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (MBICAM) was injected through the caudal vein.Immediately after intravenous MB or MBICAM injection,the cremaster was insonated for 5 minutes and the control group was in sham ultrasound exposure.All mice were divided into four groups randomly:① MB + false USRF; ② MB + USRF; ③ MBICAM + false USRF; ④ MBICAM + USRF.Fluorescence microscope was performed in twenty mice to evaluate microbubbles adhesion and video recordings were made with a high-resolution camera.Results The adhesion number of MBICAM was significantly greater in USRF group than that of MBICAM in false USRF group [(43.4 ± 2.1)/view vs (14.8± 1.8)/view,P =0.000].The adhesion number of MB in USRF group was greater than in false USRF group [(6.2 ± 1.3)/view vs (4.6 ± 0.9)/view].But there is no statistical significance (P =0.129).The adhesion number of MBICAM in both USRF group and false USRF group was significantly greater than the adhesion number of MB.Conclusions The ultrasound radiation force can significantly improve the adhesion of targeted microbubbles in vivo.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to investigate the effects of different tooth preparations on the fracture strength and pattern of failure of teeth with severe wedge-shaped defect restored with post and core crowns.

METHODSAccording to whether the teeth above the wedge-shaped defect was removed (represented by B) or not (represented by A), the ferrule next to the wedge-shaped defect was prepared (represented by D) or not (represented by C), the cast post-and-core was chosen (represented by E) or glass-fiber post and resin core was chosen (represented by F). A total of 64 human mandibular premolar teeth were randomly divided into 8 groups: A1-1 (A + C + E), A1-2 (A + C + F), A2-1 (A + D + E), A2-2 (A + D + F), B1-1 (B + C + E), B1-2 (B + C + F), B2-1 (B + D + E), B2-2 (B + D + F), each group 8 teeth. All the teeth were prepared and restored accordingly and then mounted on an electronic pressure universal testing machine. The maximum fracture strength and the patterns of failure were recorded.

RESULTS1) The fracture strength of Group A1-1 > that of Group B1-1, Group A1-2 > Group B1-2, Group B2-1 > Group B1-1, and Group B2-1 > Group B2-2 with significant differences (P < 0.05). 2) The patterns of repairable fracture in Group A1-2 and B1-2 were both 37.5%, and that of the other groups were 0. Furthermore, the difference was significant, and Group A1-2 and B1-2 were higher than other groups.

CONCLUSIONThe maintenance of the overhang above the severe wedge-shaped defect aid in the improvement of the fracture strength of the tooth restored with post and core crown. The ferrule of the wedge-shaped defect is not recommended to be prepared. Furthermore, the glass-fiber post and resin core is favorable for the re-repair of the teeth than the cast post and core.

Objective To investigate whether the effect of rabeprazole in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease is related to CYP2C19 gene polymorphisms.Methods 278 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease confirmed by endoscopy and proton-pump inhibitor testing were enrolled in this study,including non erosive reflux disease (NERD) in 122 cases,the reflux esophagitis (RE) in 98 cases and Barrett esophagus in 58 cases.They were treated with rabeprazole for 8 weeks.GerdQ scores before and after the treatment were completed,endoscopy was performed again in patients with RE after treatment.The blood CYP2C19 genotyping was detected by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrum(MALDI-TOF-MS).Results According to the genotype of CYP2C19,they were divided into extensive metabolizers,intermediate metabolizers and poor metabolizers,accounted for 39.57%,42.45% and 17.98%,respectively.There was no significant difference in GerdQ scores of three groups before treatment,and also had no significant difference after 8 weeks treatment,but in each subgroup GerdQ scores after treatment was decreased significantly than before treatment.The total effective rate of 98 patients with RE by endoscopy was 86.73%,but there was no significant difference in total effective rate of the three groups after treatment.Conclusion Rabeprazole is effective in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.Moreover,rabeprazole is less affected by CYP2C19 genotype and therefore its curative effect is more stable.
