Objective:To study the clinical efficacy of salmon calcitonin combined with calcium in the treatment of osteoporosis and the effect on bone metabolism index. Methods:Totally 360 cases of patients with osteoporosis were randomly divided into the ob-servation group and the control group with 180 ones in each. The patients in the control group were given compound calcium carbonate tablets, po, qd, and those in the observation group were given 50IU salmon calcitonin injection additionally, im, qd. After two months of treatment, the changes in pain score, bone density and bone metabolism related indicators of the two groups were compared before and after the treatment. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were observed as well. Results: After the treat-ment, both groups showed lower pain scores (P<0. 01) when compared with those before the treatment, and the reduction in the ob-servation group was more significant than that in the control group. After the treatment, the bone density had no significant change in the two groups(P>0. 05). The bone metabolism parameters including serum BGP,β-CTX, PTH, BNALP and 25OHVitD were signif-icantly improved when compared with those before the treatment (P<0. 01), and the improvement in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0. 01). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0. 01). Conclusion:Salmon calcitonin combined with calcium can significantly improve the efficacy in the treatment of osteoporosis with improved pain scores and bone metabolism related indicators, and the combination is much better than calcium alone, however, the adverse reactions are significantly increased.

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.

Objective:The general practice attributes constitute a basis for the high primary care performance. In this paper, the general practice attributes are measured, their influencing factors are analyzed, the causes of exist-ing problems are explored, and suggestions are straight forwarded to strengthen the general practice function. Meth-ods:In this study, a PCAT-AE modified Chinese edition was adopted. The research was conducted into 8 community health centers and the general outpatient clinic of the University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen Hospital. They were eligi-ble adult patients who could communicate properly and had visited the same general practitioners at least three times. One-to-one interviews were conducted and a total of 1 712 patients participated in the survey, a number of which 1 645 effective samples were considered for analysis. Results: The total general practice attributes score was 49. 0. The first-contact score of 69 . 8 , continuity score being 63 . 1 and the cultural competence score of 51 . 2 were relatively high. The scores for the access (40. 8) and community orientation (31. 0) were relatively low. The general practice attribute scores were influenced by the social demographic and health characteristics, and the health care service uti-lization. Also, the general practice core attributes were positively related to the patient satisfaction (OR>1). Con-clusion:Comparing to the numbers in the developed countries, the general practice attribute scores were still low in China. Therefore, to strengthen the general practice function, works could be done at the individual, organization and system levels.
