Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2021;37(1):34-38
Objective:To build a performance evaluation index system of family doctor contracting service for urban communities, so as to evaluate the effects of such service.Methods:Based on the conceptual framework of performance appraisal of family doctor contracting service, such means as Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process were employed to evaluate the performance appraisal system of such service. A measured simulation test was made in Guangzhou.Results:A library of performance appraisal candidate indexes for such service was established, based on the performance appraisal concept framework of " structure, input, output, result" of such service. A questionnaire made based on such a library was developed for correspondence inquiry of 20 experts from December 2018 to June 2019. Based on results of such inquiry, a performance appraisal system for family doctor contracting service in Guangzhou was developed, consisting of 4 level-1 indexes, 10 level-2 indexes and 34 level-3 indexes. In the system, level indexes include organizational structure and management(weight 0.21), resource input(weight 0.24), contracting service process(weight 0.19), and contracting service effect(weight 0.36). A community health center in Guangzhou was used as the measurement site, for adjustment and improvement of data acquisition methods of individual indexes or scoring criteria.Conclusions:The index system is developed scientifically; appraisal tools are designed focusing on results and outputs, ensuring the appraisal of contracting service quality from multiple perspectives of supply-demand sides and health management patterns; the system can provide appraisal tools for policy appraisal authorities to evaluate the performance of contracting service reform.

Objective To examine the chemo-preventive effect of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) inhibitor (celecoxib) in an animal model of stomach carcinogenesis. Methods Eighty-six male Wistar rats were divided into six groups. The rats were given water alone (group A, n=5), N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) (group B, n=16), 3 mg/kg of indomethacin daily (group C, n=16), 5 mg/kg of celecoxib daily (group D, n=17), 10 mg/kg of celecoxib daily (group E, n=16) or 20 mg/kg of celecoxib daily (group F, n=16). The animals in group B to F were given 10% sodium chloride (in the initial 6 weeks) and drinking water containing MNNG (100 ?g/ml) to induce gastric adenocacinoma. All animals received treatment for 40 weeks, and were sacrificed after death or at week 48. Gastric tumor was evaluated histologically. Results Among 86 rats, 26 rats died, and 60 rats completed the experiment. The incidences of gastric cancer were found 0 (0%) in group A, 12 (75.0%) in group B, 11 (68.8%) in group C, 12 (70.6%) in group D, 3(18.8%) in group E, and 5(31.3%) in group F. There were significant differences in tumor incidence (P=0.002), multiplicity (P=0.001) and volume (P=0.009) among different groups. When compared with group B, the group E had the greatest reduction in tumor incidence (P=0.004), tumor multiplicity ( P=0.006) and mean tumor volume (P=0.02). Treatment with indomethacin had no significant effect on tumor development. Conclusion While treatment with indomethacin had no significant effect on tumor development, treatment with celecoxib reduced gastric cancer incidence and growth in rats.

Objective To investigate the relationship of Helicobacter pylori(Hp) and gastric cancer in animal.Methods Ninety of two-grade Wistar male rats were randomly divided into experimental group and control group.In 12 weeks after the rats of experimental group were infected with SS1 Hp strain,animal in two groups were then randomly subdivided into blank ,MNNG subgroup and MNNG+NaCl subgroup,15 rats in each subgroup.Animals in the MNNG and MNNG+NaCl subgroups received 100?g/ml of MNNG in the drinking water,and in the MNNG+NaCl still received 10% NaCl 1 5ml,two times a week for ten months.The blank received water plus libitum.All animals were sacrificed in two months after the above treatment.Histopathological features of the glandular stomach were assessed by HE stainning.Results By the end of the study ,87 rats were survival,3 rats died from the mistakes of perfusion of NaCl.Hp was detected in all infected rats.Adenocarcinoma had developed in the antrum of one experimental rat in the MNNG+NaCl subgroup. Adenomatous hyperplasia were observed in two groups,but its incidence in the MNNG and MNNG+NaCl subgroups of the experiment were 40% and 57 14% respectively,higher than that of the control(6 67% and 15 38%)(P0 05).Conclusions We demonstrated that long-term Hp infection could induce the chronic active and atrophic gastritis in animal model,increase the sensitivity of glandular gastric mucosa to carcinogen,and promote the incidence of pre-carcinomatous lesion.
