General practice is the core of primary care, and it has become the fundamental part of some high-valued health care system. The function-orientated definition of primary care comprise of five core attributes, which are first-contact, accessibility, continuity, coordination and comprehensiveness of service. This paper started from the definition of general practice and sought to clarify and summarize the definitions, contents and functions of its five core attributes;meanwhile, the high-performance functional mechanism of health care system was also explored. On this basis, four suggestions are put forward: The basic medical health care system should be renamed primary care system;Five core attributes of primary care should be emphasized when strengthening the primary care system; the primary care system should be improved, and the key points are the number of general practitioners (GPs), payment system, primary care purchasing, educational system of GPs and etc.;The management system and service process should be developed which would benefit the implementation of the core attributes of primary care at an organizational level.

Objective To evaluate the long-term prognostic capacity of the SYNTAX score Ⅱ(SxScore Ⅱ) and SYNTAX score (SxScore) in patients undergoing left main percutaneous coronary intervention (LM-PCI). Methods A total of 209 patients undergoing unprotected LM-PCI in the Cardiology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of PAP of Logistic College were prospectively collected. Follow up was carried out by telephone or outpatient or rehospitalization. The clinical endpoint focused on MACCE after PCI including composite death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization and stroke. The secondary endpoint included cardiac death and stent thrombosis. The SxScore and SxScoreⅡ were retrospectively calculated according to results of coronary angiography and clinical features of patients. Patients were stratified according to tertiles of low (≤22), intermediate (23-32), and high (≥33). The clinical data were comparedbetween three groups. The predictive ability of two scoring systems to MACCE after PCI was compared by COX regression evaluation. Results In 209 patients, 12 patients were lost to follow-up (5.7%), and the median follow-up was 30.2 months, 56 cases (28.4%) were observed to suffer from MACCE. The incidence rates of MACCE were 19.0%, 28.6%and 44.4%in SxScore low, intermediate and high groups respectively. The incidence rates of MACCE were 12.8%, 23.8%and 45.5%in SxScoreⅡlow, intermediate and high groups respectively. Single factor analysis showed that SxScore, SxScoreⅡ, age, diabetes and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were the independent predictors of MACCE. Multivariate analysis showed that SxScore and SxScoreⅡwere still risk independent predictors for MACCE. Conclusion Both SxScore and SxScoreⅡare independent risk predictors for MACCE in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease undergoing PCI treatment.

Abstract?Since the introduction of 25-gauge/23-gauge ( 25G/23G ) sutureless micro -incision vitrectomy surgery ( MIVS ) at the beginning of the 21 century, we have stepped into an era of micro-incision vitreoretinal surgery more than10a. The current 25/23G MIVS provide numerous advantages over the conventional 20G vitrectomy surgery including simplified surgical procedure, shortened operating time, decreased complications as well as smaller sclerotomy wound.As a result, vitreoretinal surgeons have been shifting gradually from 20-gauge to 25/23-gauge vitrectomy in the past decade. As the 25/23G MIVS adapted worldwide, however, its drawbacks were also increasingly reported. Most criticism regarding to current 25/23G MIVS are focusing on would sealing related complications.Based on stablished notion regarding vitrectomy -“the smaller the better”, researchers and doctors were keeping on exploring the next generation of vitrectomy system. Thanks to the innovation and development in new generation vitrectomy machines, high lumen output light source, more delicate manufacturing technology and clear wild angle fundus view system, Dr.Oshima from Japan launched the first 27-gauge vitrectomy surgery system.It provided us novel surgical experience with smaller sclerotomy wound and faster cut rate. Further development and refinement of vitrectomy with 27-gauge or more are still on its way and will continue in the future. Undoubtedly, MIVS would be heated debated regarding its pro/con, complications, indications and future development.Combined with our own experiences, here we briefly reviewed the 27-gauge vitrectomy surgery.

Trials in public hospital reforms bear special significance for rational deployment of health resources and exploring the separation of hospital management from routine operations. The paper identified such setbacks in the present trials as easy technology measures, numerous models of separations, difficulty in setting pharmaceutical service fees, and inadequate governance. Authors also recommended such measures as searching for appropriate reforms for public hospitals locally, greater financial resources for completing the compensation mechanism of public hospitals, streamlining their management system for separation of management from operations, and improving governance. All these efforts are designed to enhance the public benefit nature of public hospitals.

This paper introduces the nursing care of 1556 patients with nasal packing silicone ventilation tube after func-tional endoscopic sinus surgery. Meticulous nursing care during nasal packing silicone ventilation tube could alleviate patients' discomfort obviously. It was emphasized to suck at exact time according to the patients' demands, adopt effective suction means to alleviate the damage of nasal mucosa,such as suction in the tube or in the bottom of the tube, take measures to promote the cleaning of secretion,which could improve the breath and sleep,as well as shorten the time of recovery.

Objective To assess the effects of surgical treatment for patients with blepharochalasis and its associated abnormali- ties. Design Retrospective case series, Participants 35 cases (52 eyes) with blepharochalasis in stable phase. Methods The correction of the abnormalities in upper eyelids: after designing the lid crease incision, the redundant eyelid skin and prolapsed fat were excised, and prolapsed lacrimal glands were sutured back into position in 18 cases (36 eyes) and ptosis was treated in 10 cases (16 eyes). The correction of abnormalities in lower eyelids: lower eyelid retraction was corrected in 4 cases (6 eyes). The correction of lateral canthus malformation: lateral canthus rounding was treated in 7 cases (14 eyes), accompanied with or followed by correction of baggy eyelid or ptosis. Main Outcome Measures The shape, location and movement of bilateral eyelids, the location of lacrimal glands and the cir- cumstance of tear secretion. Results During the follow-up of 6～60 months, the appearance and location of bilateral eyelids and can- thuses were satisfying, the function of eyelids were normal, and no dry eye symptoms were found. Two cases (3 eyes) appeared recurrent lacrimal gland prolapse 29 and 36 months postoperation and received surgeries for correction again. There was no recurrence after the second prolapse correction surgery in the follow-up of 18 and 24 months respectively. Conclusions Surgical treatment for patients with blepharochalasis and its associated abnormalities is safe and effective. Its recurrence rate is low.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic performance of bone SPECT and CT fusion imaging in bone metastases from pediatric neuroblastoma.MethodsTwenty-four pediatric patients with neuroblastoma were included in this retrospective study.All patients underwent planar imaging and SPECT integrated with CT.Lesion visibility,diagnostic certainty and diagnostic performance were evaluated with KolmogorovSmirnov test andx2 test.ResultsLesion visibility of SPECT alone,SPECT integrated with CT were significantly better than that of planar imaging ( both H =69.000,P ＜ 0.05 ).SPECT and CT fusion imaging,SPECT alone both detected five more bone lesions than planar bone imaging (77 vs 72).The diagnostic accuracy of SPECT imaging (62.34％,48/77 )was significantly higher than that of planar imaging (45.45％,35/77; x2 =4.416,P ＜ 0.05 ).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of SPECT and CT fusion imaging for diagnosing malignant bone lesions were significantly higher than those of planar imaging:82.35％ (42/51) vs 53.19％ ( 25/47),88.46％ ( 23/26 ) vs 40.00％ ( 10/25 ),84.42％ ( 65/77 ) vs 45.45％ (35/77 ; x2 =12.571,14.016,25.667,all P ＜ 0.01 ).The diagnostic specificity and accuracy of SPECT and CT fusion imaging were significantly higher than those of SPECT alone ( 53.85％,14/26 ;62.34％,48/77) (x2 =7.589,9.606,both P ＜0.01 ).However,there was no significant difference of sensitivity between the two methods (x2 =2.942,P ＞ 0.05 ).Diagnostic certainty by SPECT and CT fusion imaging was significantly higher than that by SPECT alone ( H =28.000,P ＜ 0.05 ) and by planar imaging (H =21.000,P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionSPECT and CT fusion imaging can detect more bone lesions in patients with pediatric neuroblastoma.It is helpful for diagnosing bone metastases from pediatric neuroblastoma.

Objective:The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the core attributes of the four general practice models in Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen, and to provide the suggestions for strengthening the general practice functions. Methods: We used the two stage sampling method in this study. Firstly, three CHCs in Guangzhou, two in Dongguan and two in Shenzhen, and the general medical outpatient department in the Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong were selected. Secondly, we used the convenience sam-pling method to perform investigation. A PCAT-AE modified Chinese edition was adapted to measure the patients’ primary care experience. A total of 1 712 patients participated in the questionnaire survey, the number of which 1 645 copies were valid. Results: Generally, the general practice core attributes’ total scores from that hospital were higher than those from Guangzhou communities (55. 3 vs. 45. 9, P<0. 05), Dongguan commu-nities (55. 3 vs. 49. 2, P<0. 05) and the Shenzhen communities (55. 3vs. 51. 7, P<0. 05). Conclusion:The primary care implementation was different in accordance with the characteristics of regions, and the general practice core attributes had different characteristics in different models. It could constantly improve the primary care services to each model’s specific circumstances.
