Objective:To investigate the number of necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells in renal tissues of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the correlation with clinicopathologic parameters, and explore its role in the progression of the excessive loss of renal tubular cells and chronic kidney injury.Methods:Renal tissue samples from 60 patients (18-65 years old) with CKD proven by kidney biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University from June 2017 to June 2019 were collected. According to internationally accepted K/DOQI guidelines, the patients were divided into 1-4 stages of CKD, with 15 cases in each stage. The number of necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells in patients with different stages of CKD was detected using receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) fluorescent staining, and the expression of RIP3 and MLKL, marker protein of necroptosis, was detected by immunohistochemistry. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the percentage of necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells and clinicopathologic parameters. In addition, the expression of angiotensinogen Ⅱ receptor (AT2R) in renal tissue and its correlation with the percentage of necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells were analyzed.Results:With the development of CKD, the structural destruction of renal tubules in patients with CKD was gradually aggravated, and the renal tubules in the corresponding areas were atrophied, accompanied by worsening interstitial fibrosis. The adjacent renal tubules were focally dilated and numerous protein tubules were seen in the tubules. Importantly, renal tubular injury score in second and third stage of CKD was significantly higher than that in control group (both P<0.01). TUNEL+RIP3 immunofluorescence staining results showed that the percentage of TUNEL/RIP3 double positive renal tubular epithelial cells (necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells) in renal tubules of the second and third stage of CKD was higher (all P<0.01). Immunohistochemical results showed that RIP3, MLKL and AT2R proteins were mainly expressed in cytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cells, and the expression of RIP3, MLKL and AT2R in renal tubular epithelial cells was higher in the second and third stage of CKD patients (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the percentage of necroptotic renal tubular epithelial cells was positively correlated with blood urea nitrogen ( r=0.514, P=0.003), serum creatinine ( r=0.507, P=0.019), serum cystatin C ( r=0.571, P=0.026), serum uric acid ( r=0.592, P=0.008), renal tubules injury score ( r=0.901, P<0.001), renal interstitial fibrosis index ( r=0.700, P=0.001) and the expression of AT2R protein in renal tissue ( r=0.715, P=0.001). Conclusions:As CKD progresses, necroptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells in CKD patients occurs. The necroptotic cell death may be an important factor leading to renal tubular epithelial cell excessive death and the progression of chronic kidney injury. Furthermore, necroptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells may be related to the high expression of AT2R in kidney tissue.

Objective:To analysis the incentive level of family doctors in primary medical and health institutions in Beijing, and to explore its influencing factors, so as to provide references for promoting family doctors′ contract service.Methods:From October to December 2021, 40 family doctors were randomly selected from 135 urban community health service centers in 8 districts of Beijing, and a survey was conducted on basic demographic information, institutional organizational capacity evaluation, and family doctor incentive level evaluation (including four dimensions of work value, organizational environment, personal development, and reward compensation), and the influencing factors of family doctor incentive level was analyzed. Chi-square test and Pearson correlation analysis were used for univariate analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis was used for multivariate analysis.Results:A total of 4 568 family doctors were included, and the score of family doctors′ incentive level was 3.75±0.81, among which the work value score was the highest(3.89±0.77), followed by the organizational environment score(3.69±0.92) and personal development score(3.75±0.90), and the lowest score was reward(3.75±0.90). Age, education, professional title, working years and average total working hours per week negatively affected the incentive level( P<0.05), while the average monthly income, the frequency of attending training and further study, and the organizational ability of the organization positively affected the incentive level( P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall incentive level of family doctors in primary medical and health institutions in Beijing needed improvement, and there were many factors that affect the incentive level of family doctors. It was recommended to appropriately increase the salary and benefits of family doctors, reasonably arrange the workload of family doctors, strengthen the training mechanism of family doctors, and strengthen the organizational capacity building of primary medical and health institutions.

To provide prevention and control strategies of occupational exposure risks to cytotoxic drug in medical institutions, improve the awareness of protection among medical staff,and reduce potential occupational exposure risks,the Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Occupational Exposure Risk to Cytotoxic Drugs in Medical Institutions is developed. Based on the World Health Organization Guidelines Development Manual,the exposure risk issues of the cytotoxic drug collected from the time that it entered the hospital to the several stages after delivery to hospital,such as transportation,receipt,storage,unpacking,dispensing,use of finished products,and waste disposal. Delphi method is used to construct identification of clinical issues,and evidence-based research method is used to develop relevant evidence. Quality evaluation is conducted by using the recommended GRADE method. The consensus is reached on the recommendation opinions and evidence levels through expert consensus method. By combining engineering controls,administrative controls and personal protective equipment at different levels,a graded control approach is established. A total of 37 clinical issues are identified,resulting in 36 recommendations. This guideline provides reference and supplementation for the formulation of cytotoxic drug prevention and control measures in medical institutions.
