ObjectiveTo collect and analyze patients' evaluation of basic medical services in Tianjin community health service institutions and to suggest improvements.MethodsA total of 15 community health service centers and 15 community health service stations in six urban districts of Tianjin were selected by stratified sampling and 300 randomly intercepted patients were surveyed by questionnaire.ResultsApproximately half ( 157/300, 52. 3% ) the patients selected community health service institution as their first choice to seek medical attention. The most important reason for this, with 89.2% patients responding yes, was that the community health service institution was close to home and very convenient.One quarter (79/300, 25.3% ) of the patients regularly consulted the same doctor and 17.7% (53/300)seldom went to see a doctor. The proportion of patients expressing a high degree of satisfaction to service standards and health professionals was 78. 7%, of which satisfaction with physicians' explanation about the patients' illness ranked highest at 83. 7% (251/300). Patients' confidence level of doctors' diagnosis,physical examination, and auxiliary examination was 92. 0%. Moreover, most (87. 0% ) patients reported that doctors communicate well with them; 85.0% (255/300) patients received health instruction from doctors during visits, and 82. 0% patients reported that doctors pay attention to protecting patients' privacy.The overall satisfaction of patients to environmental facilities and process management of community health service institutions was 73.6%. On the other hand, patient satisfaction with medicine types, service price,instrumentation and equipment, and environment were all lower than the average satisfaction. Conclusions Patients were basically satisfied with medical service in community health service institutions. Three main problem areas were identified: patients' use of community health services is deficient, medical service ability is partially lacking, and the service feature of general practitioners (GPs) is not obvious. Improvements of basic medical service ability in the community, cultivation of GPs, and basic medicine regulation are advocated.

Objective To observe the effects of mesenteric lymph drainage on acute lung injury and expression of p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) signal pathway in rats with bowel repletion pattern. Methods Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups according to random number table method, namely sham operation group (sham group), bowel repletion model group (model group) and mesenteric lymph drainage group (drainage group), 10 rats in each group. The rat model of bowel repletion was established by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) method, firstly 1 hour occlusion of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) to induce ischemia followed by reperfusion for 2 hours. In the rats of drainage group, the drainage of mesenteric lymph duct began at the end of model establishment and persisted for 3 hours. In the rats of sham group, the SMA and mesenteric lymph ducts were exposed with blunt dissection, and then they were immediately placed back into the abdominal cavity. After 3 hours of mesenteric lymph drainage, the lung and ileum tissues of rats in each group were harvested for evaluation of pathohistological changes and for the determination and comparison of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity changes; the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) mRNA and p38MAPK mRNA in the lung tissues were measured by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results Under the light microscope, the pulmonary capillaries markedly dilated and congested, the interstitium width of lung increased with a large amount of inflammatory cells infiltration, the intestinal mucosal layer becoming thinner with detachment of intestinal villi and a large amount of inflammatory cells infiltration were detected in rats of model group. Compared with those in sham group, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in BALF, the MPO activity of lung and ileum tissues, and the expressions of TLR4 mRNA and p38MAPK mRNA in the lung tissues were significantly increased in model group.Compared with those in model group, the pathohistological damages in lung and ileum tissues were ameliorated, the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in BALF, the MPO activity of lung and intestinal tissues and the expressions of TLR4 mRNA and p38MAPK mRNA in the lung tissues were lower in the rats of drainage group [TNF-α in BALF (ng/L): 858.55±27.16 vs. 1 680.58±105.62; IL-6 in BALF (ng/L): 0 vs. 484.71±5.43; MPO activity of lung (U/g): 0.95±0.13 vs. 1.36±0.11; MPO activity of ileum tissues (U/g): 0.75±0.13 vs. 1.30±0.16; TLR4 mRNA: 0.21±0.11 vs. 0.69±0.13, p38MAPK mRNA: 0.21±0.13 vs. 0.47±0.09; allP < 0.05].Conclusion Mesenteric lymph drainage can alleviate acute lung injury in rats with bowel repletion, and its mechanism may be related to the reduction of the expressions of TLR4 mRNA and p38MAPK mRNA and the release of TNF-α and IL-6 in lung tissues.

: To assess the () recombinant gingivalis gingipain R2 (rRgpB)-induced Ca mobilization in human gingival fibroblast (HGF) mediated by protease-activated receptor (PAR) and its downstream signal transduction pathways. : Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of PAR in HGF. The proliferation of HGF was measured by CCK-8. The dynamic changes of intracellular Ca concentration in HGF induced by rRgpB and the blocking effect of PAR-1 antagonist were observed by laser confocal microscopy. Western blot was performed to determine the phosphorylation levels of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and p65 in HGF. : PAR-1 and PAR-3 were expressed in HGF, and the rRgpB could promote the proliferation of HGF. rRgpB caused a transient increase in [Ca], which could be completely suppressed by vorapaxar, a PAR-1 antagonist. The phosphorylation levels of JNK, ERK1/2 and p65 were significantly up-regulated after the induction of rRgpB for and (all <0.05), which was completely inhibited by vorapaxar. However, the phosphorylation level of p38 MAPK had no significant change after rRgpB stimulation. : rRgpB causes an increase in [Ca] in HGF mediated by PAR-1. JNK, ERK1/2 and nuclear factor-κB may be involved in intracellular signal transduction after PAR-1 activation.
