Objective To investigate the clinical effect of systemic rehabilitation on stiffness of finger joints after hand injury. Methods A total of 213 stiff fingers were observed in patients with hand injury. All the patients were administered with therapeutic exercise, physical modalities and splinting. The improvement of the patients in terms of active range of motion (AROM) and passive range of motion (PROM) of their fingers was graded as excellent, good, adequate or poor according to the standard the authors set. Results With regard to their AROM and PROM, 82.2% and 94.8% of the patients got excellent improvement, 97.7% and 100% of the patients got excellent to adequate improvement, respectively. The finger function was increased from 17% to 56%. Conclusion Systemic rehabilitation can increase the AROM and PROM of stiff finger effectively and improve the patients' hand function.

Objective To summarize the experience in application of the bovine jugular vein valved conduct in right ventricular outflow tract (ROVT) reconstruction. Methods Totally 14 patients [6 male, (6.3?5.4) years old] underwent ROVT reconstruction from February 2004 to March 2005 was recorded, and the function of the implanted bovine jugular vein valved conduit was evaluated by Doppler echocardiography one month later after operation. Results There was no perioperative morbidity related to the bovine jugular vein valved conduit. 14 patients were discharged well. One month after operation, echocardiography showed that reconstructed ROVT was patent, and only four implanted conduits had mild regurgition. Conclusion The bovine jugular vein valved conduit provides the favorable hemodynamic performance and thus could be an excellent substitute for the homograft in the reconstruction of ROVT. The mid- and long-term outcomes required further study.

Objective To investigate whether inhibiting the expression of typeⅠ collagen gene is one of the mechanisms of action of electroacupuncture in improving knee osteoarthritis.Methods Forty male adult SD rats were randomized into normal, model, medication and electroacupuncture group, 10 rats each. A rat model of MIA-induced knee osteoarthritis was made by injecting monomer sodium iodoacetate (MIA) and driving rat movement. After model making, the medication group received an oral gavage of celecoxib dissolved in 10% DMSO and the electroacupuncture group, electroacupuncture at points Zusanli and Yanglingquan. Pain thresholds and the levels of cartilage expression of typeⅠ collagen mRNA were compared between various groups of rats before and after treatment.Results There was a statistically significant difference in pain threshold between the model, medication or electroacupuncture group of rats and the normal group after model making (P<0.01) and between the medication or electroacupuncture group of rats and the model group before sacrifice (P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in pain threshold between the medication and andelectroacupuncture groups of rats before sacrifice (P>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the expression of typeⅠ collagen mRNA between the model, medication or electroacupuncture group of rats and the normal group (P<0.01) and between the medication or electroacupuncture group of rats and the model group before sacrifice (P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the expression of typeⅠ collagen mRNA between the electroacupuncture and medication groups of rats before sacrifice (P>0.05).Conclusion The mechanisms of actions of electroacupuncture and medication in treating knee osteoarthritis may be related to inhibiting the expression of typeⅠ collagen mRNA.

Objective To study the application of accreditation standards for trainers of general practitioners (GPs) in community health centers.Methods The questionnaire was designed according to the accreditation standards for GP trainers in community health centers,which involved professional quality,clinical competence in primary care and teaching abilities.According to typical sampling,583 trainers from 56 community teaching bases in Shanghai were selected for the survey.Results Among 583 participants,the effective respondents were 505 with a response rate of 86.6％.The professional quality was highly recognized by the participants,and more than 80％ of trainers met the requirement.For the ability of primary care,81.4％ (411/505),79.8 ％ (403/505) and 69.5 ％ (351/505) of participants were well qualified with the abilities of management for hypertension,type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease,respectively,while only about 40％ had abilities of management for epilepsy,hypothyroidism and chronic mental diseases.75.4％ (381/505) participants fully mastered the principle of first aid skills and CPR,while only 24.8％ (125/505) had abilities of management for conjunctival foreign body and nasal foreign body,34.5％ (174/505) had the abilities of debridement and gastrolavage.For the index of teaching abilities,most trainers had insufficient teaching capacity and experience in the community.Only 48.5％ (245/505) and 40.2％ (203/505) of trainers were familiar with the teaching methods of cased-based learning and problem-based learning,respectively.Significant difference was found in the scores of teaching abilities among trainers from community health centers in different locations (P ＜ 0.05),such as using appropriate teaching methods (F =3.45,P =0.033),monthly assessment and feedback to students (F =5.14,P =0.006) and ensure at least 4 hours of teaching time every week(F =4.96,P =0.007).No significant differences were found in the scores of professional quality and clinical competences in primary care (P ＞ 0.5).Conclusion The trainers of general practitioners in community health centers meet the requirement of accreditation standards in the aspects of professional quality and clinical competences in primary care,while the teaching abilities remained to be improved and should be strengthened in the future.

Objective To develop criteria for trainers of general practitioners in clinical training bases.Methods A primary version of criteria was established through literature review and expert interview.Thirty-two experts with middle-level professional title or above,who had 10 years of working experience or more in general practice,teaching and administration,were invited for 3 rounds of Delphi consultation during March and October 2013.Results The criteria consisted of 3 first-grade indicators and 12 second-grade indicators were established.The first-grade indicators included professional quality,clinical competence and teaching capability.The weight coefficient of first-grade indicators were 0.332 0,0.336 0 and 0.332 0,respectively.For 3 rounds of consultation the activity coefficient of experts was all 100％ ; the authority coefficients of experts were 0.881,0.897 and 0.883,respectively; and the harmonious coefficient of importance of the evaluation were 0.136,0.127 and 0.204,respectively (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The established criteria are credible and important for the selection of trainers of general practitioners in clinical bases,which would improve the quality of standardized training for general practitioners.

Objective To establish a set of accreditation standards for trainers of general practitioner (GP) in community health service centers.Methods A modified Delphi expert consultation was conducted during December 2012 and September 2013.Thirty two experts of general practice from different teaching hospitals and community health service centers were invited for three rounds Delphi questionnaires.A set of accreditation standards for GP trainers in primary care was established through data analysis,synthesis and process.Results Expert activity coefficients were 100.0％ for three rounds consultation,the authority coefficients were 0.894,0.882 and 0.893,respectively.The opinion coordination coefficients of experts were 0.156,0.166 and 0.215,respectively (P =0.000).The developed accreditation standards system comprised of three first-grade indicators and 14 second-grade indicators.The weight coefficients of three first-grade indicators,namely professional profiles,clinical competences in primary care and teaching abilities,were 0.339 8,0.335 6 and 0.324 6,respectively.Conclusions The established accreditation standard system is credible,which would appropriately guide the selection of GP trainers in primary care from three dimensions and enhance the quality of standardized training of general practitioners.
