Objective To understand the status of service contract signing conducted by primary medical and health institutions.Methods A questionnaire survey and in-depth interview methods were used to study the service contract signing at primary health care institutions.Results The contract signing rate of the institutions surveyed was 1 9.1%,and valid contract signing rate was 76%.Senior people above 65 years old accounted for 33.5% of those signers,while hypertension patients accounted for 1 9.5% and diabetes patients for 10.6%.Interviews to the general practitioners team at the primary health institutions found that main factors affecting residents′ intention to sign were drug availability, attraction for signing the services,treatment habits among others.Interviews to the staff the primary health institutions found that contracted services are facing such difficulties as medical staff shortage,lack of motivation,lack of competence among others.Interviews to leaders of the primary health institutions found that the lack of publicity and support of medical insurance also has great influence to service contract signing.Conclusions The enthusiasm of general practitioners and residents to sign up for the service remains to be improved.

Objective:To investigate the effects of sign-contract services on hypertension patient disease control and the satisfaction of medical staff. Methods:a face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted among hypertension patients selected from 20 primary health centers in 10 provinces in China. Results:This paper collected 1 ,881 valid questionnaires, and the average age of the population was 65. 72 ± 10. 88. Respondents that received sign-contract services accounted for 53. 88%, and there was no difference between patients who signed the service contract and who did not in terms of demographics. In self-reporting of blood pressure controls, respondents who signed the service contract, aged 40~50 years old, enjoyed the free medical care, preferred to seek medical services from primary a-gencies ( i. e. community health centers and township hospitals) for minor illnesses, controlled their blood pressure better ( P<0. 05 ) . Respondents enjoyed the civil resident medical insurance, preferred to seek medical care from community health centers for minor illnesses and signed the service contract were more likely to be satisfied with their medical practitioner (P<0. 05). After adjusting for age, gender, education level, medical insurance style, patient willingness to seek medical care for minor illnesses, signing service contracts was found to be an independent factor both associated with blood pressure self-control and attitudes towards medical service providers, with the odds ratio of 3. 007 (95%CI:2. 572 -3. 517) and 1. 814 (95%CI: 1. 563 -2. 105) respectively. Conclusion: Contracts are correlated with blood pressure control and satisfaction toward medical practitioners, which means that patients who signed the service contract control their blood pressure better and are more satisfied with their medical deliverers.

Objective To explore the influence of policy support on attitude of staff toward contracted service in community health service ( CHS) centers in different areas of China. Methods A multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select participants, and questionnaire survey was conducted among 192 staff (99 from Chengdu and 93 from Xiamen) from 4 community health service centers in Chengdu and Xiamen. In addition, documents on contracted service in CHS were collected and analyzed. EpiData software was used to establish database. Double input and cross-check were implemented. SAS version 9.4 was used for data analyses. Results Differences were found in goals, financial modes and insurances coverage in contracted service in the two areas. Among the 192 participants, 80.7% considered that contracted service was worth to carry out; 90.8% supported the implementation of contracted service in local settings and 78.1% were willing to take more work load on contracted service. In contrary, only 41.6% wished their child work as a family doctor. The main reasons for the negative attitudes were that the performance-based salary system had not been well established or implemented, and there was much more work load that resulted from contracted service. Conclusions The majority of the study subjects held positive attitude toward contracted service, but there were disparities between the four study sites. Relative policy and financial support, proper human resource distribution were critical determinants of contracted service.

Objective To measure the gap of community health staffing and establish new norms for community health facilities by means of the WHO Workload indicator of staffing need (WISN) method,for reference of the government in evaluation and decision making of community health staffing. Methods With Xicheng District of Beijing as an example,we collected data on community health staffing and calculated the total demand,measuring the total demand and supply,and gap or surplus in the staffing.Results in 2013,the demand of community health staffing was about 1 7.18 million standard equivalents in Xicheng,while the supply was 10.5 12 million.The WISN ratio was 0.67 for community health supply and demand,in which the ratio of physicians was close to 1,while that of nurses and public health workers was far below 1.850 extra community health staff was needed to reach the total of 2 602 persons.Conclusion The demand and supply of community health service in Xicheng District was seriously unbalanced,a huge gap featuring overstaffing of nurses and inadequate public health workers.This results from the enhancement of primary public health services and rising utilization of community healthcare services in recent years,which deserves high attention from government of all levels,by increasing the staffing of community health staffing standards.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of acute myocardial infarction caused by spontaneous coronary artery dissection(SCAD) in young female patients. Methods: In this casecontrolstudy,127 young(≤55 years) female patients with acute myocardial infarction onset within 1 week in Nanjing first hospital, Xuzhou central hospital, affiliated hospital of Xuzhou medical university, and Lianyungang first people's hospital were enrolled between January 2013 and February 2017,and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. According to their clinical manifestations and coronary angiography(CAG) results,the patients were divided into coronary atherosclerosis disease(CAD) group(CAG evidenced atherosclerosis, n=83) and SCAD group(CAG detected coronary artery dissection,n=44).The SCAD patients were subdivided into definite group (the results affirmed from intravenous ultrasound or optical coherence tomography, n=21) and probable group (the CAG results highly confirmed to characteristics of SCAD,but no intravenous ultrasound or optical coherence tomography image affirmation,n=23). Then, according to the different treatment strategies, the SCAD patients were subdivided into conservative treatment group(treated with drugs,n=19) and interventional therapy group(treated with percutaneous coronary intervention,n=25). Results: (1)Compared to CAD group, patients in the SCAD group had less risk factors, such as hypertension history (25.0% (11/44) vs. 45.8% (38/83) , P=0.022) and diabetes history (6.8% (3/44) vs. 21.7% (18/83) , P=0.043),and had lower levels of fasting blood glucose (5.34(4.59,5.87) mmol/L vs. 7.12(5.18,8.60)mmol/L, P=0.001),total cholesterol((3.94±1.14) mmol/L vs. (4.91±1.50) mmol/L, P=0.001),triglyceride(1.42 (0.91,1.64) mmol/L vs. 1.89 (1.23,2.45) mmol/L, P=0.005),and low density lipoprotein cholesterol ((2.24±0.91) mmol/L vs. (2.94±1.16) mmol/L, P=0.001),CAG results showed that patients in the SCAD group had more single vessel lesion (88.6% (39/44) vs. 39.8% (33/83) , P=0.001), and their target lesion stenosis was less severe ( (79.2±22.4) % vs. (91.5±12.1) %, P=0.001). (2) The clinical risk factors such as hypertension history, diabetes history, smoking history, family history of cardiology disease, fasting blood glucose,total cholesterol,triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol were similar between definite group and probable group (all P>0.05). CAG results showed that prevalence of single vessel lesion (100% (21/21) vs. 78.3% (18/23) , P=0.050) and percent of target lesion stenosis ( (76.9±20.6) % vs. (81.2±24.1) %, P=0.529) were similar between definite group and probable group.(3)There were no significant difference in single vessel(84.0% (21/25) vs. 94.7% (18/19) , P=0.370), target lesion stenosis(85.0(70.0,100.0)% vs. 75.0(50.0,90.0)%, P=0.186),and survival rates in hospital(96.0% (24/25) vs. 100% (19/19) , P=1.000) between interventional therapy group and conservative treatment group. Conclusions Prevalence of SCAD is highin young female patients with acute myocardial infarction. Acute myocardial infarction patients with less risk factors of CAD and with CAG showing smooth lesion of narrowing segment and normal finding in the other vessels, are more likely to be diagnosed with SCAD.Acute myocardial infarction patients caused by SCAD have high survival rate either receiving percutaneous coronary intervention or drug treatment.

Objective:To reveal the significance of microRNA 155 (miR-155) level or the suppressor of cytokine signaling 6 (SOCS6) level in distinguishing the differentiating tuberculosis (TB) infection.Methods:A case-control study was conducted. A total of 60 patients were enrolled in the study retrospectively, including 20 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis, 20 patients with latent tuberculosis and 20 patients with other pulmonary infectious diseases (non-TB infection), who visited The Third Affiliated Hospital of Third Military Medical University from January to June of 2017. The expression level of miR-155 and SOCS6 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of from these patients were examined by using the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) methods. The associated statistics and graphs was utilized to obtain the relationship, which were reflected by the Co-index receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve or calculating the area under ROC curve (AUC), between the miR-155 and SOCS6 in differentiating tuberculosis infection by using the Logistic Regressive analysis methods, MedCalc and GraphPad Prism 8.0 software.Results:Neither of the three index miR-155 (AUC=0.663, P=0.031), SOCS6 (AUC=0.708, P=0.002) and Co-index (AUC=0.718, P=0.001) was outstanding to distinguish the tuberculosis infection and non-TB infection. Moreover, the miR-155 (AUC=0.867, P<0.001) and Co-index (AUC=0.875, P<0.001) were similar sufficient ( Z=0.142, P=0.887) to distinguish the active and latent infections. The Co-index (AUC=0.923, P<0.001) was better ( Z=2.586, P=0.010) than SOCS6 (AUC=0.723, P=0.007), and similar ( Z=1.585, P=0.113) to miR-155 (AUC=0.835, P<0.001) on the distinguishing active and non-TB infection. Conclusions:By performing the qPCR and the correlation-analysis, miR-155 has been considered as a potential biomarker for differentiating latent tuberculosis infection from active tuberculosis infection. Conjoint analysis of miR-155 and SOCS6 benefits the distinguishing active TB infection from other pulmonary infectious diseases.
