Objective To investigate the application value of color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis and treatment of uterine scar pregnancy. Methods The sonographic characteristics of 34 patients of uterine scar pregnancy were analyzed. The changes of blood flow and the resistance index (RI) were compared before and after conservative treatment. Meanwhile, the therapeutic effect was evaluated referencing to the changes of β-hCG in blood. Results Uterine scar pregnancies were classfied into three subtypes according to ultrasonic characteristics: Type Ⅰ: embryo sac (n=16 cases);Type Ⅱ: asymmetrical mass (n=14);Type Ⅲ: mixed type (embryo sac+asymmetrical mass, n=4). Peri-myometrium of the gastrula and the mass had abundant blood flow and lower RI before treatment, while rare blood flow and middle RI were found 4 weeks after treatment. There was statistical significance in the change of RI between before and four weeks, after treatment. Conclusion Uterine scar pregnancy has characteristic ultrasonogram. Color Doppler ultrasound may precise diagnose and localize uterine scar pregnancy, playing an important role in guiding the conservative treatment schedule, evaluating the therapeutic effect and following-up of these patients.

Objective:To analyze the work stress of medical staff at different medical institutions in Shanghai under the background of normalized prevention and control of 2019 novel coronavirus diseases(COVID-19), for evidence of relieving the work stress of medical staff.Methods:From September to November 2020, two community health service centers, one secondary hospital and one tertiary hospital were selected from each district of Jing′an District, Jiading District and Pudong New Area of Shanghai, totaling 12 medical institutions. The medical staff were selected by stratified random sampling. A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an online questionnaire survey on the work stress of medical staff. The survey data were analysied by descriptive analysis, and different groups were compared with chi square test.Results:1 422 valid questionnaires were obtained. There was a significant difference in self-rated routine work stress of medical staff between community health service centers and secondary/tertiary hospitals( P<0.001). The proportions of medical staff whose self-rated routine work stress was " quite stressed" or " very stressed" at community health service centers and secondary/tertiary hospitals were 39.77%(317)and 55.36%(346)respectively. There was a significant difference in self-rated COVID-19 prevention stress of medical staff between community health service centers and secondary/tertiary hospitals( P<0.001), the proportions of medical staff who considered the COVID-19 prevention was " quite stressed" or " very stressed" were 86.45%(689)and 76.48%(478)respectively. Conclusions:The overall work stress of medical staff at medical institutions in Shanghai was high.The prevention and control of COVID-19 increased the pressure of medical staff at all levels of medical institutions.

Objective To evaluate the motivation effect of family doctors′ contracting service and health insurance compensation mechanism from the perspective of income change and income satisfaction of family doctors .Methods The situation about salary compensation plan reform and the change of income level and structure were learnt from interviews on the management personnel and questionnaire surveys of family doctors in 2013 and 2016 .The data were subject to descriptive statistics .Results The proportion of family doctors earning between 8000 and 10000 yuan in 2016 rose to 67.16% (90/134 ) from 18.18% (26/143 ) in 2013.11.72% (15/128 ) of family doctors′contracting service fee amounted to over 50% of their income. The number of family doctors who were dissatisfied with their income has fallen by 28.52% .There were still 51.90% (68/131)of the family doctors who were not satisfied with their income and 24.64% (34/138)of them held the incentives of performance appraisal as a failure .Conclusions The income of family doctors has been greatly increased in the last three years.Contracting service fee plays a key role in motivating these doctors , but three risks also need to be prevented in the process of further reform .

Objective To evaluate the present family doctors staffing and service capacity building in Changning under the linkage reform of contracting service and health insurance payment . Methods The staffing data of family doctors were collected from the 2013-2015 annual reports ,while the data on their qualifications ,training ,job stress and competence were collected from two follow-up investigations. These data were analyzed with descriptive statistics .Results in 2016 ,the number of family doctors totaled 27000 ,up to 2.75 doctors per 10000 people.Over 97% of the family doctors were qualification certificated.More than half of the family doctors participated in the standardized training .68.80% (97/141)of the family doctors complained overwork.More than 80% of the family doctors have encountered technical problems with medical services .Conclusions The number and quality of family doctors in Changning have been greatly improved to satisfy contracting services of the residents to a minimal extent. However ,more family doctors are needed ,as they still face much work stress. The family doctors call for standardized training ,better payroll and incentive mechanism ,better career development and coordinated support mechanism ,as well as better team building for greater performance .

Objective To investigate the effects of β-caryophyllene(BCP)on the browning of white adipose tissue in obese mice and the related mechanisms.Methods An obese mouse model was established via intraperitoneal injection of a high-fat diet supplemented with propylthiouracil saline solution[14.4 mg/(kg·d)]in male Kun-ming mice.Obesity model mice were randomly divided into a model group(Model group)and a BCP administra-tion group(BCP-50 group);normal diet mice were set up as a control group(Control group),with 8 mice in each group.BCP administration was given by gavage at a dose of 50 mg/kg once in the morning and once in the evening in the BCP-administered group,while the rest of the group was administered by gavage with aqueous solution of Tween 80 for 4 weeks.The oral glucose tolerance test was performed at the end of 4-week administration,and mice were executed after overnight fasting at the end of the experiment,and blood samples and adipose tissues were rap-idly collected for subsequent experimental tests.The kit was used to detect serological-related indexes;hematoxy-lin-eosin staining was conducted to observe the morphology of adipose tissue;immunohistochemical staining was carried out to observe the expression of uncoupling protein 1(UCP1)in adipose tissue;Western blot was employed to detect expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator1-α(PGC1α),peroxisome prolifera-tor-activated receptor γ(PPARγ),UCP1 and cannabinoid receptor 2(CNR2)proteins in epididymal white adi-pose(eWAT).Results Compared with the model group,the body mass of obese mice in the BCP-50 group was significantly reduced(P<0.05),food intake was decreased(P<0.01),insulin resistance was improved(P<0.000 1),and the serum content of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and nonesterified fatty acid(NE-FA)in the obese mice was significantly reduced(P<0.000 1 and P<0.01).Total cholesterol(TC),triglycer-ide(TG),and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)contents did not change significantly.In addition,the adiposity coefficient and eWAT specific gravity of obese mice in the BCP-50 group were significantly decreased(P<0.05);the adipocytes in eWAT and BAT were reduced;and the expression of the UCP1 protein was signifi-cantly elevated(P<0.01 and P<0.05).In addition to UCP1,the expression levels of PGC1α,PPARγ,and CNR2 proteins in the eWAT of obese mice in the BCP-50 group were also significantly elevated(P<0.01,P<0.05,and P<0.001).Conclusion β-caryophyllene promotes white adipose tissue browning through up-regula-ting PPARγ/PGC-1α/UCP1 pathway expression,thus improving obesity.
