Objective:To conduct a survey on the difference in medical staff remuneration level and satisfaction within the eastern, central and western township health centers, explore the influencing factors on remuneration satis-faction, and put forward some suggestions. Methods:909 medical staff and 104 township health centers from 9 coun-ties in the eastern, central and western regions were investigated. The Descriptive, ANOVA and Hierarchical Linear Model ( HLM) methods were used to analyze the survey results. Results:Average annual medical staff remuneration was 28 324 Yuan in 2011 and the remuneration satisfaction was 2. 77 in five-point scale. The difference between the remuneration level (F=140. 16,P<0. 001) and remuneration satisfaction (F=240. 84,P<0. 001) among three re-gions was statistically significant. The HLM analysis indicated that the working time, workload per day in individual level and whether by practicing the policy of separation between revenue and expenditure, the number of average monthly discharged patients and the fiscal appropriation income in the township health centers level affected the remu-neration satisfaction. Conclusions:The medical staff remuneration level and satisfaction in the township health centers were low, both having a great regional difference. Therefore, the improvement of the medical personnel remuneration satisfaction is obtained through improving the revenue and expenditure, and the performance-based pay system.

Objective To analyze the endoscopic observation of gastroduodenal ulcer radioactive injury induced by pancreatic cancer radiotherapy, and to preliminary investigate the risk factors of radiation-induced ulcer after radiotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer. Methods A total of 112 patients with pancreatic cancer who accepted gastroscopy before and after radiotherapy at Air Force General Hospital were collected. Self-comparative study of gastroscopic findings was performed on these patients. Single factor analysis and the logistic regression analysis model were used to analyze whether the clinical factors were likely to affect the radiation-induced ulcer or not. Results The total incidence of radiation-induced ulcer was 42.0 % (47/112) in 112 patients. The history of ulcer and grade 2 or more acute gastrointestinal symptoms (P= 0.036, P= 0.030) were the independent risk factors of radiation-induced ulcer. The rest clinical factors had no influence on the radiation-induced ulcer (all P>0.05). Conclusion In the radiotherapy of pancreatic cancer, patients who has the history of ulcer or grade 2 or more acute gastrointestinal symptoms should be alert to the occurrence of radiation-induced ulcer.
