Objective:To understand the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)prevention and control work and the problems and difficulties faced by non-government primary medical institutions in China during the epidemic period.Methods:A survey on the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)prevention and control work of non-government primary medical institutions was conducted on April 14 to 21, 2020 with the self-designed questionnaire. The questionnaire contained three parts: the first part was basic information of medical staff in non-government primary medical institutions, including position and institutional information; the second part was the status quo of non-government primary medical institutions participating in the prevention and control of COVID-19, including the specific work and difficulties faced by the responders during the epidemic period; and the third part was the prevention and control effect of COVID-19 in the responders′ institutions, including whether there were confirmed cases and infected medical staff. An online invitation was issued among the members of General Practice Branch of Chinese Non-government Medical Institution Association. The invited participants included the heads, general practitioners and other medical personnel of the non-government primary medical institutions the invited participants voluntarily scanned the online two-dimensional code to fill in.Results:A total of 761 individuals in primary health institutions from 20 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China participated in the survey. There were 290 (38.1%) men and 471 (61.9%) women with age of 40(32, 48) years; 83.0% (632/761) had worked for more than 5 years; 33.8% (257/761) owned primary professional titles and 33.0% (251/761) owned intermediate titles. Among all participants 28.5% (217/761) were general practitioners, 26.9% (205/761) were institutions/department managers, 14.6% (111/761) were specialists and 40.3% (307/761) were other related personnel. A total of 549 institutions continued to operate during the epidemic period and 96.5% (530/549) participated in the work related to the prevention and control of the epidemic, including prescreening and triage, health consultation, follow-up of suspected patients, donation, quarantine of suspected cases, follow-up of close contacts/discharged patients, diagnosis and treatment of patients with new coronavirus pneumonia. 44.7% (340/761) of respondents participated in the epidemic prevention as front-line staff and directly contacted patients/suspected patients, and 63.1% (480/761) participated in the epidemic prevention work of primary medical institutions, including clinical outpatient service, prescreening triage and screening. The working sites were not limited to the institutions, but also other sites including high-speed railway station. The 97.8% (744/761) responders expressed their willingness to participate in epidemic prevention work under the unified leadership and command of the state. The 63.9% (486/761) of the responders were worried about the lack of protective equipments and measures, and 90.4% (688/761) respondents showed that they needed medical supplies (protective equipment: masks, goggles, protective gowns, etc.).Conclusion:The participation of non-government primary medical institutions and their staff in COVID-19 infection prevention and control is a key component of the epidemic prevention process.

The response of glueagon to the change of glucose and its relation to blood pressure in 71 eidely patients with type 2 diabetes was investigated. The results showed that the postprandial increment of glucagon in the group of patients with postprandial 2h plasma glucose increment<2.5 mmol/L was significantly higher than that in the group with plasma glucose inerement≥ 2.5 mmoi/L (P<0. 05). The postprandial increment of glucagon in patients with normal blood pressure was significantly higher than that in patients with hypertension (P<0.05). The results suggest that the decreased response of glucagon to the change in plasma glucose in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes is related to increased blood glucose and high blood pressure.

A rapid, sensitive and simple liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of yogliptin and its metabolite in Wistar rat plasma. Linagliptin and dexamethasone were chosen as the internal standards of yogliptin and its metabolite, (R)-8-(3-hydroxypiperidine- -yl)-7-(but-2-yn-1-yl)-1-((5-fluorobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)methyl)-3-methyl- H-purine-2, 6 (3H, 7H)-dione, respectively. After a simple protein precipitation using acetonitrile as the precipitating solvent, both analytes and ISs were separated on a Grace Altima HP C18 column (2.1 mm x 50 mm, 5 microm) with gradient elution using methanol (containing 0.1% formic acid, 4 mmol x L(-1) ammonium acetate)-0.1% formic acid (containing 4 mmol x L(-1) ammonium acetate) as the mobile phase. A chromatographic total run time of 4.4 min was achieved. Mass spectrometric detection was conducted with electrospray ionization under positive-ion and multiple-reaction monitoring modes. Linear calibration curves for yogliptin and its metabolite were over the concentration range of 0.5 to 500 ng x mL(-1) with a lower limit of quantification of 0.5 ng x mL(-1). The intra- and inter- assay precisions were all below 14%, the accuracies were all in standard ranges. The method was used to determine the concentration of yogliptin and M1 in Wistar rat plasma after a single oral administration of yogliptin (27 mg x kg(-1)). The method was proved to be selective, sensitive and suitable for pharmacokinetic study of yogliptin and M1 in Wistar rat plasma.

Objective To investigate the incidence of colorectal disease in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and analyze the risk factor of colorectal disease in patients with CKD.Methods The clinical data of 719 patients with CKD underwent colonoscopy examination and 404 patients without CKD underwent colonoscopy examination were collected.The incidence of colorectal disease was compared between patients of the two groups.According to the results of colonoscopy examination,the patients with CKD were divided into colonoscopy positive group and negative group,and clinical biochemical indexes of the two groups were analyzed.The rank-sum test or t-test was used to compare the measurement data.Rates were compared by Chi-square test.The risk factors of colorectal disease in patients with CKD were evaluated by logistic regression.Results The positive rate of colonoscopy examination in 719 patients with CKD was 21.28％ (153/719),which was higher than that of patients without CKD (12.62 ％,51/404; x2 =13.036,P＜0.01).The positive rate of colonoscopy in patients with CKD at stage 1 was 17.50％ (56/320),at stage 2 or 3 was 22.68％(66/291),at stage 4 or 5 was 28.70％ (31/108).There were significant differences among the three groups (x2-6.623,P＜0.05).The incidence of colorectal cancer in patients with CKD was 3.89 ％ (28/719),which was higher than that of patients without CKD (1.73％,7/404; x2 =4.003,P＜0.05).The incidence of colorectal polyps in CKD group was 8.34％(60/719),which was higher than that of non-CKD group (5.20％,21/404; x2 =3.827,P＜0.05).The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease in CKD group was 9.04％(65/719),which was higher than that of non-CKD group (5.69 ％,23/404; x2 =4.013,P＜0.05).The incidence of colorectal cancer and colorectal polyps in patients with CKD at stage Ⅰ was 2.50％(8/320) and 6.25％(20/320),at stage 2 or 3 was 3.78％(11/291) and 8.59％(25/291),at stage 4 or 5 was 8.33％(9/108) and 13.89％ (15/108).There were significant differences among the three groups (x2-7.359 and 6.199,both P＜ 0.05).The age of colonoscopy positive group was older than that of colonoscopy negative group (t=-3.821,P＜0.01); there were lower hemoglobin (t=3.541,P＜0.01),increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (Z=-4.996 and-7.493,both P＜0.01),higher cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (t=-2.659 and-3.248,both P＜0.01),increased serum creatinine (Z=-3.683,P＜0.01) and declined glomerular filtration rate (Z=-6.227,P＜0.01) in colonoscopy positive group than in colonoscopy negative group; the differences were statistically significant.Logistic regression analysis indicated that age (β=0.981,95％ CI 0.965 to 0.998,P =0.032),serum creatinine (β=1.006,95％CI 1.002 to 1.009,P=0.001) and ESR (β=1.029,95％CI 1.018 to 1.040,P＜0.01) were risk factors of colorectal disease in patients with CKD.Conclusions The incidence of colorectal disease in patients with CKD is high,and it increases along with the declined glomerular filtration rate.The colorectal disease in patients with CKD patients may be associated with age,anemia,lipid metabolism,inflammation and impaired renal function.

AIM　To compare the bioactivity and bioavailability of domestic and imported salcaltonin injections in Chinese healthy volunteers. METHOD　Using randomized cross design, to determine the concentrations of calcium and salcaltonin in serum of healthy volunteers after single dose of domestic and imported injections. RESULT　Two preparations reduced concentration of calcium in serum obviously and there was no difference of mean changes of calcium between the two kinds of injections (P>0.05). The main pharmacokinetic parameters are: Cmax: (2.31±0.16) μg*L-1 and (2.44±0.20) μg*L-1；Tmax: (48.75±12.99) min and (52.50±16.31) min；T1/2ke: (92.93±11.86) min and (97.61±11.23) min；Ke: (0.0079±0.0023) min-1 and (0.0084±0.0014) min-1；AUC(0～360 min): (297.70±44.45) μg*min*L-1 and (313.64±46.03) μg*min*L-1 respectively in domestic and imported salcaltonin injections. The relative bioavailability of domestic formulation is 97.6%±25.6%. CONCLUSION　The domestic and imported salcaltonin injections administered produce similar biological response and bioavailability and they are bioequivalent.

Objective To discuss the technical points, safety and clinical effectiveness of DSA-guided percutaneous acetabuloplasty (PA) for the treatment of acetabular metastases. Methods Fifteen patients, including 6 males and 9 females, with acetabular malignant metastases were enrolled in this study.A total of 19 lesions were detected. The lesions were 13 - 25 mm in size (mean 19 ± 4 mm), the dose of PMMA used for per lesion was 5 - 13 ml (mean 8.2 ± 2.3 ml). All patients complained of greater or less degree of pain in their hips, 8 patients had to use walking stick, 4 patients showed limping although they could walk independently and three patients could not walk alone. DSA-guided percutaneous acetabuloplasty was performed in all patients and follow-up after the procedure was conducted for 1 - 12 months. Visual analogue score (VAS), walking state score and analgesic dosage taken by the patients were used for the evaluation of the clinical effectiveness. The complications were analyzed. All the data obtained were statistically analyzed with paired samples t test and analysis of variance by using SPSS12.0 statistical software.Results The procedure was technically successful in all patients. Pain rating evaluated by the VAS decreased from a mean of 7.8 before surgery to a mean of 4.2 in 24 hours after surgery (P < 0.01 ), which further decreased to 2.5 in one month (P < 0.01 ), while walking state score increased from a mean of 1.5before surgery to a mean of 2.5 in 24 hours after surgery (P < 0.01 ). The analgesic dosage taken by the patient was reduced in 14 patients and remained the same in one patient. The bone cement leakage into paraacetabular soft tissues occurred in three cases and peripheral vascular exudation of acetabulum was observed in three cases with no obvious clinical symptoms. Conclusion As a safe, reliable and minimally-invasive technique, DSA-guided percutaneous acetabuloplasty has excellent anti-pain effect in treating acetabular metastases. This therapy can markedlyimprove the patient's walking ability and the quality of life.

Objective To compare the effects of higher dosage of atorvastatin alone and combination of lower dosage of atorvastatin with ezetimibe on levels of lipid and metalloproteinases in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods Forty-two patients with coronary artery stenosis (50% to 70% stenosis) without stent replacement were selected, and were randomly divided into atorvastatin group (treated with 20 mg or 40 mg atorvastatin alone, n = 19) and combined-therapy group(treated with 5 mg, 10 mg atorvastatin and 10 mg ezetimibe, n =23). The levels of serum lipid, hepatic and renal functions, creatine kinase, metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 (TIMP-1) were detected 12 weeks after treatment. Results Twelve weeks after treatment, the level of LDL-C in atorvastain group was (1.94 ± 0.49) mmol/L (37.82% decrease from baseline), and that in combined-therapy group was (1.92 ±0.54) mmol/L(38. 26% decrease from baseline), and there was no significant difference between these two groups (P >0.05). Twelve weeks after treatment, the levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were significantly decreased and that of TIMP-1 was significantly increased compared with baseline levels in atorvastatin, while no such changes were detected in combined-therapy group. Conclusion In patients with coronary artery stenosis, combined therapy with lower dosage of atorvastatin and ezetimibe may lead to the same lipid-lowing effects compared with therapy with higher dosage of atorvastatin, but it may not result in a significant reduction in serum levels of MMP-2, MMP-9 and increase of TIMP-1.
