Objective:To investigate the status of work performance among rural doctors in Shanxi province and the factors related to their performance.Methods:From July to September 2019, 528 rural doctors in Shanxi province were selected by multi-stage stratified cluster sampling for the survey. Their job competency, job performance, psychological capital and burnout were evaluated. The structural equation model was used to construct the job performance analysis based on post competency.Results:The total score of post competency of rural doctors in Shanxi province was (188.6±20.3), and the total score of job performance was (71.3±11.5), both of which were in the middle level. The structural equation model was well fitted [goodness-of-fit index (GFI)=0.958, normal fix index (NFI)=0.920, adjusted goodness-of-fit index (AGFI)=0.910, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)=0.076]. Post competency, psychological capital and job burnout had direct effects on job performance ( P<0.05), with influence coefficients of 0.64, 0.35 and -0.25, respectively. Job competency indirectly affected job performance through psychological capital and job burnout ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The study suggest that higher post competency would facilitate to improve the work performance of rural doctors.

Dandy-Walker syndrome is one of the posterior fossa malformations, which is easily confused with arachnoid cyst or cerebellar dysplasia in clinical practice, leading to misdiagnosis. Dandy-Walker syndrome is easy to be combined with hydrocephalus, resulting in increased intracranial pressure, increased head circumference, growth retardation, spastic hemiplegia and other manifestations, and can also be accompanied by other nervous system malformations. On February 27, 2021, a child with Dandy-Walker syndrome with growth retardation as the primary manifestation was admitted to Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine. After multiple surgical treatment, the child's hydrocephalus was significantly improved. Through the analysis of the clinical data of the child's operation and the treatment of complications, it is helpful to improve the clinicians' understanding of the surgical treatment of the disease.

Objective:To analysis the macrolide resistance, molecular characteristics and plused-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE) type of Bordetella pertussis ( Bp), explore the possible resistance mechanism and the relationship between PFGE types and macrolide resistance profiles. Methods:Erythromycin, azithromycin and clarithromycin susceptibility of clinical isolates during 2016 to 2018 was determined by E-test. PCR was used to detect the drug-resistant genes and mutation sites. PFGE were employed to do molecular typing for the strains.Results:Thirty-five strains were isolated, of which 27 strains were resistant to all three antibiotics, two strains were resistant to erythromycin and azithromycin, and six strains were sensitive to all three antibiotics. Partial macrolide resistant strains carried the methylase gene ermA (27.6%, 8/29) and ermB (31.0%, 9/29); A2047G site mutation was detected in macrolide-resistant strains, while no drug-resistant genes or mutation sites were found in sensitive strains. Resistant strains were classified into BPSR23 and BPFINR9 types, while sensitive strains were other profiles. Conclusions:The clinical isolated Bp were seriously resistant to erythromy and showed signs of resistance to other macrolides. The acquisition of methylase gene and mutation of A2047G site might be the main mechanism of resistance. The macrolide resistance might have has a certain correlation with PFGE profile.

Objective:To investigate the genetic diversity and molecular epidemiology of Bordetella pertussis in Shaanxi province, and analyze the possible reasons of resurgence in this region. Methods:We characterized clinical isolates collected during 2012-2017 using multilocus antigen sequence typing (MAST) and multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA).Results:The circulating strains and vaccine strains were different in molecular characteristics. The majority (95%) of the isolates were typed as prn1/ ptxP1/ ptxA1/ fim3-1/ fim2-1. In addition, eight MLVA types (MTs) and eight PFGE profiles were identified, respectively. MT195, MT55 and MT104 were dominant and MT195 continually increased annually. Conclusions:The genetic characteristics of the current strains in Shaanxi province were different from those of the vaccine strain. The evolution through genetic variation might be one of the reasons for the recurrence of pertussis in this region.

Objective:To observe the neuroprotective effect of wind medicine (Puerariae Lobatue Radix and Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma) in combination with Panax ginseng total saponin (PNS) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats; To elucidate the mechanism of "wind medicine increasing effect".Methods:Totally 140 male SD rats were divided into sham-operation group, model group, PNS group, Puerariae Lobatue Radix group, Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma group, Puerariae Lobatue Radix + PNS group, Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma + PNS group according to the random number table method, with 20 rats in each group. Except for the sham-operation group, the cerebral ischemia/reperfusion rat model was established using the modified Longa line bolus method in the remaining groups. After 7 d of administration of the appropriate pharmacologic intervention in each group, neurological dysfunction was evaluated by Zea-longa score after final administration, cerebral infarct volume was determined by TTC staining; blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability of brain tissue on the ischemic side was detected by Evans blue content; BBB ultrastructure of each group of rats was observed by transmission electron microscopy; Claudin 5 protein expression level was detected by immunohistochemistry; Zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), major facilitator supeffamily domain-containing protein 2a (Mfsd2a), Occludin, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), Monocarboxylate Transporters-1 (MCT1) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) protein expression levels were detected by Western-blot.Results:Compared with the model group, the rat neurological function scores were reduced in each administration group ( P<0.05), infarct volume was reduced ( P<0.05), EB content of brain tissue decreased ( P<0.05), protein expressions of Claudin 5, ZO-1, Mfsd2a and Occludin in brain tissue were elevated ( P<0.05), the protein expressions of P-gp, BCRP and MCT1 were reduced ( P<0.05), and the protein expressions of Claudin 5, Mfsd2a, and Occludin was higher in the Puerariae Lobatue Radix + PNS group and Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma + PNS group than that of each group of medication alone ( P<0.05), and the protein expression of MCT1 was lower than that of each group of medication alone ( P<0.05); the protein expression level of ZO-1 in the Puerariae Lobatue Radix + PNS group was higher than that of the group of medication alone ( P<0.05); P-gp protein expression was lower in Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma + PNS group than in the PNS group and Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Wind medicine (Puerariae Lobatue Radix and Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma) may potentiate the neuroprotective effect of PNS on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats, and the mechanism may be related to the protection of BBB structural integrity and maintenance of central barrier properties, while regulating substance transport proteins and increasing the intracerebral content of the drug.
