Objective To study the value of adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in the differential diagnosis of primary aldosteronism (PA).Methods Fourteen patients (11 adenoma and 3 adrenal hyperplasia) clinically diagnosed as PA were examined with AVS for measurement of plasma aldosterone and cortisol levels.Selectivity of AVS was assessed by the aldosterone level in each adrenal vein and in the infrarenal inferior vena cava plasma.The data were compared with CT and postoperative pathologic result.Results The diagnosis of adenoma by AVS in 9 (9/11) cases was in accordance with the postoperative pathologic findings.The diagnosis of hyperplasia by AVS in all 3 cases was in accordance with CT scanning result.Conclusion AVS should be selected to distinguish the PA without overt occupational lesion in CT scanning.

0.05).[Conclusion]The technique of double-tunnel with double-bundle of TE for reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) can improve the knee stability at the different flexion degree(0?～90?) and is more efficiently than the technique of single-tunnel with single-bundle.

Objective To identify the influencing factors for rural doctors′ training effect,and suggest on the improvement of such training.Methods On the basis of rural doctors′ survey,the theory of pre-intervention was used to probe into the influencing factors for such training in five dimensions of attention notice,mega-cognitive strategies,advance organizer,goal orientation,and preparatory information.Results 73.2% of the groups were found with satisfying effect.In the single factor analysis,comparison of training effect involving such factors as age,gender,length of work life and pre-intervention revealed statistical significance(P<0.05).As shown in the logistic regression analysis,High motivation in meta-cognitive strategies,Clear goals in goal orientation,Tiered and categorized training in advance organizers,and Practical learning in preparatory information,as well as variants like age would influence rural doctors′ training effect significantly.Conclusions The key to better training effect lies in better motivation of the trainee,setting correct training goals,emphasis on the practicability of training contents and,the pertinence of the training objects.

Objective:To describe the content and analyze the constitutive dimensions of the psychological contracts with residents contracted for family physician services.Methods:Based on a collection of policy documents on family doctor contracting services issued by central government ministries and relevant departments in Shandong province as well as 27 signed family doctor agreements in nine counties (cities, districts) of Shandong province, semi-structured interviews were made to 48 residents in both September 2019-January 2020 period and May-June 2020 period, regarding the verbal promises of family doctors and the needs of these contracted residents. Then the documented and non-documented commitments of the family doctors were extracted in the content analysis method, and a credibility test was made using the Myers reliability test formula.Results:A total of 639 written commitments of family doctors were obtained, covering 5 types of responsibilities and 20 commitments, and the credibility coefficient was 0.88. 322 codes of non-documented commitments were obtained, 4 commitments were added on the basis of documented commitments, and the credibility coefficient was 0.90. The psychological contracts were sorted out in such five areas as technical quality responsibility, cost control responsibility, convenient access responsibility, communication responsibility, and empathic responsibility, by matching the residents′ medical service needs obtained from the interviews, while the first three categories and the last two categories were classified as transactional and relational psychological contracts, respectively, with 10 items of technical quality responsibility accounting for the highest percentage (41.67%).Conclusions:The documented and non-documented commitments of family doctors differed in content and structure. The psychological contract signed by residents was mainly transactional, and residents had higher expectations for family doctors to provide high-quality, convenient and economical services.

Objective:To evaluate the barrier-free level of village clinics of a city in the aging era, for references in improving the barrier-free medical environment for the elderlies.Methods:The village dectors of 156 village clinics in 12 counties of a city were selected as the objects of a questionnaire survey from Dec.2020 to Jan.2021, with 6 evaluation indexes established, each set with 1-10 points. This questionnaires was used to survey the barrier-free construction levels of village clinics. The data were statistically analyzed by rank sum ratio and quadrant graph model.Results:The barrier-free buildings of such clinics scored 32.86 points in average. Among the six indexes, the barrier-free access and doors(7.21 points) scored the highest, and the barrier-free parking space(4.71points) and toilets(3.28 points) scored the lowest. All the counties of the city fell into four categories, including 2 counties with high degree of aging-high level of accessibility, 4 counties with low degree of aging-high level of accessibility, 4 counties with low degree of aging-low level of accessibility, and 2 counties with high degree of aging-low level of accessibility, according to the quadrant graph model built based on the aging degrees and the barrier-free levels of village clinics.Conclusions:The barrier-free level of the village clinics in a city needs to be further improved, and the barrier-free transformation of parking space and toilets should also be strengthened in the future. The government should take different measures in view of conditions of each county to improve the accessibility of village clinics and facilitate the health care-seeking of elderlies.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology of a child featuring recurrent oral ulcer. METHODS: Clinical data of the child was collected. Whole exome sequencing was carried out for her. Candidate variant was verified by low-coverage massive parallel copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) of the family trio. RESULTS: The child, a 6-year-old girl, has featured recurrent fever and ulcers of the oral mucosa, vulvar and perianal regions. No pathogenic variant was found by whole exome sequencing. However, analysis of chromosome copy number variation using the whole exome sequencing data has revealed mosaicism of trisomy 8. CNV-seq assay has verified the variant in the child, with the percentage of mosaicism being 73%. No abnormality was found in neither of her parents. CONCLUSION A case of mosaicism trisomy 8 with recurrent oral ulcer as the first symptom was diagnosed, which has enriched the phenotypic data of trisomy 8 syndrome.

Objective:To analyze the psychological contract satisfaction of contracted residents and its impact on their behavioral intentions under the guidance of incomplete contract theory, for reference in improving the effectiveness of contracted family doctor services.Methods:1 100 contracted residents from nine townships/streets in Shandong province were selected as subjects according to stratified random sampling from September 2019 to June 2020, and a questionnaire survey on the level of satisfaction of contracted residents′ psychological contracts(24 items) and assessment of behavior intentions(9 items) was conducted, and the model of the effect of contracted residents′ psychological contracts on behavior intentions was established and analyzed. The correlation was validated by Pearson test and the structural equation method was used for verifying the model.Results:998 valid questionnaires were recovered. The psychological contract satisfaction score of the contracted residents was 3.45±0.56 and the behavioral intention was 2.81±0.29. Both transactional and relational psychological contracts were correlated with all dimensions of behavioral intention( P<0.01). Concerning the impacts of residents′ psychological contracts on behavioral intentions, the effect coefficients of transactional psychological contracts on loyalty intention, voice intention, exit intention and neglect intention were 0.33, 0.24, -0.25 and -0.49 respectively, with an indirect effect on neglect intention; the effect coefficients of relational psychological contracts on loyalty intention, voice intention, exit intention and neglect intention were 0.26, 0.10, -0.14 and -0.50 respectively, with an indirect effect on advice intention and neglect intention. Conclusions:Residents′ psychological contract has yet not been effectively satisfied. Satisfying and improving the residents′ psychological contract can directly enhance their loyalty intention and reduce their exit intention, indirectly influencing the voice and neglect intentions. In order to enhance the effectiveness of family doctor contracted services and improve the healthcare experience of contracted residents, it is suggested that the relevant departments should actively take the following measures, including carrying out a survey on the psychological contract of contracted residents, building a provincial-city-county-township collaborative linkage platform, and so on.

Objective: To understand the incidence and mortality of drowning and secular trend among children aged 0-14 from 1990 to 2019 in China, so as to provide reference for drowning intervention among children in China. Methods: Based on data of drowning incidence and death in 0-14 years old children in China in 1990-2019 years Global Burden of Disease (GBD 2019) database, the standardized rate was calculated by the world standard population, and the trend of incidence rate and mortality rate was fitted by Joinpoint regression model respectively. Results: From 1990 to 2019, the overall incidence of drowning among children aged 0-14 years in China decreased from 37.17/100 000 to 12.54/100 000, a relative decrease of 66.26%; the standardized incidence rate decreased from 21.78/100 000 to 14.98/100 000, a relative decrease of 31.22%. The incidence rate and standardized incidence rate of drowning in children showed an increasing after decreasing trend, with decreasing mortality and standardized mortality rate. Joinpoint regression showed that the incidence rate of standardized AAPC for child drowning was -1.3, -2.5 for males and 0 for females. The overall standardized mortality rate of drowning was -3.9, male was -3.6, female was about -4.5 , the trend changes were statistically significant ( P <0.05). The incidence rate and mortality rate of male were higher than that of female, and there was significant difference between male and female groups ( P <0.05). Conclusion Significant progress has been made in child drowning prevention and control, with substantial decreasing in the incidence rate of child drowning. However, considering recent slight increase in drowning incidence, effective measures should be developmed including risk factors, vulnerable population to further control the incidence and mortality of child drowning.

Objective: To understand pneumonia mortality in children aged 0-14 years in China in recent 15 years, and to provide reference for child pneumonia prevention and treatment. Methods: Based on the death data from China Statistical Yearbook 2005-2019, pneumonia mortality in urban and rural children aged 0-14 was extracted and the standardized mortality was calculated, and the trend of mortality was fitted by Joinpoint regression model. Results: The crude mortality rate of child pneumonia in urban and rural areas showed an increasing trend, while the standardized mortality rate showed a fluctuating downward trend. Joinpoint regression showed that the mortality rate of pneumonia in urban and rural children showed a monotonous downward trend, and there was no turning point. The overall APC of pneumonia mortality of urban children was -3.4, that of boys and girls were both -3.5. Trend for annual changes in urban areas were found significant among total sample and boys (both P <0.05). The overall APC of pneumonia mortality in rural children was -7.8, that of boys and girls were -7.1 and -7.8, respectively. Trend for annual changes in rural areas were found significant among total sample and boys(both P <0.05). There was no significant differences in the trend of mortality between urban and rural groups. Conclusion During 2005 to 2019, child pneumonia mortality in urban and rural areas in China shows a downward trend, which is relatively balanced in urban and rural areas. Further strengthened pediatric pneumonia treatment and management are expected to reduce the pneumonia mortality.

Objective To survey the situation and related factors of maintenance medication treatment in schizophrenic patients re-hospitalized for relapse. Methods 362 patients re-admitted with schizophrenia and their relatives were interviewed with questionnaire which included 16 factors that might affect maintenance medication treatment. Results 63.8% patients stopped medication and 21.1% patients were on low-dose maintenance medication treatment by themselves, while 7.7% patients were on reasonable dose anti-psychotics in 2 years. The time of maintenance medication treatment related with insight (OR=2.2144, P=0.001), family care (OR=4.8842, P=0.025), outcomes of treatment (OR=2.2056, P=0.007) and negative life events (OR=0.4529, P=0.003). Conclusion Schizophrenic patients re-admitted with relapse often withdraw or reduce their medication by themselves, which risked with poor insight, poor therapeutic effect, poor care from their family, and more negative life events
