This study is to investigate the inhibitory effect and mechanism of prosapogenin A (PSA) on MCF7. MTT assay was performed to determine the inhibitory effect of PSA on MCF7 cells. PI/Hoechst 33342 double staining was used to detect cell apoptosis. RT-PCR was used to test the mRNA levels of STAT3, GLUT1, HK and PFKL. Western blotting was performed to determine the expression of STAT3 and pSTAT3 protein in MCF7 cells. The results showed that PSA could dose-dependently inhibit cell growth of MCF7 followed by IC50 of 9.65 micrmol x L(-1) and promote cell apoptosis of MCF7. Reduced mRNA levels of STAT3, HK and PFKL were observed in MCF7 cells treated with 5 micromol x L(-1) of PSA. PSA also decreased the level of pSTAT3 protein. STAT3 siRNA caused decrease of mRNA of GLUT1, HK and PFKL which indicated STAT3 could regulate the expressions of GLUT1, HK and PFKL. The results suggested that PSA could inhibit cell growth and promote cell apoptosis of MCF7 via inhibition of STAT3 and glycometabolism-related gene.

From March 2019 to May 2019, panel interviews were conducted with 39 representatives of 10 community health service centers in Shanghai Changning District, each took 30 to 90 min. The relevant information of interviews was coded, classified, streamlined, and the interview topics were sorted out. The interviews showed the following problems of continuing education in community health care setting currently: there were lack of updated disease-related clinical guidelines and other knowledge, lack of uniform regulations on rational drug use; the contents or forms of training did not match the needs of the community; and training in psychology and nutrition therapy could not be transformed into practical application. The participants made the following suggestions for continuing medical education: to build a database of clinical guidelines for diseases; to provide information-based support and guidance for rational drug use; to design training contents and training forms based on community needs; to provide training support in psychology, nutrition and other subjects; to increase trainings in research, teaching and health management and other aspects. Continuing medical education for community general practioners faces problems from knowledge users, knowledge providers, and the policy environment. The contents and forms of training needs should be optimized. These can be strengthened by communicating with the community and following up with the needs of the community in establishing diversified training forms, supporting assessment and incentive mechanisms for different types of training contents.

Based on literature analysis and conference discussion, the index system of the competence and performance of general practitioners (GPs) was developed, which consisted of 4 dimensions and 59 indicators. Based on the indicator system, the questionnaire was designed. From March 2019 to May 2019, a questionnaire survey on the ability, performance and training needs of GPs was conducted among the managers of 10 community health service centers in Shanghai Changning District. The dependent variables were analyzed through descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and quadrant mapping methods. The median of overall evaluation score of the performance of GPs in 10 community health service center was 2.7(2.4,2.9); and the mean of training demand score was (1.4±0.5). The performance scores was negatively correlated with the degree of training needs ( r=-0.654, P<0.01). Among the 59 capacity assessment indicators, there were 25 (42.4%) with poor performance but high training demand. The overall ability of general practitioners was common from the perspective of the community health service center managers, suggesting that it is important to strengthen the capacity development for community GPs, and those with poor performance and high training needs should be included in training priority, such as disease diagnosis and treatment, emergency management ability, rehabilitation service ability and medical law.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of anterior clinoid process grinding in the treatment of ophthalmic / superior clinoid process aneurysms and sellar tumors.Methods:The clinical data of 16 patients who underwent anterior clinoid process grinding in Sanbo Brain Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2015 to July 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 1 patient with recurrent craniopharyngioma, 1 patient with recurrent pituitary adenoma, 13 patients with aneurysms, and 1 patient with suprasellar granulosa cell tumor combined with ophthalmic aneurysm of right internal carotid artery. The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score was used to evaluate the situation at discharge and in the medium-and-long term.Results:Sixteen patients underwent anterior clinoidprocess grinding. At discharge and the latest follow-up, the mRS scores of the patients were 0-2. A total of 15 aneurysms were treated, and there were no symptoms of visual loss or visual field defect after operation. No cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in all patients.Conclusions:The grinding of anterior clinoid process can effectively and fully stretch the optic nerve and internal carotid artery, and can observe the tumor neck at the lower end of pituitary stalk and the ocular segment/superior clinoid process of internal carotid artery under direct vision. It is one of the important auxiliary methods for the treatment of sellar lesions.

Objective:To explore the etiology and treatment of craniopharyngioma with aneurysm.Methods:Seven cases of craniopharyngioma with aneurysm from March 2014 to October 2019 treated in Sanbo Brain Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 7 patients, there were 5 males and 2 females. There were 4 cases of recurrent craniopharyngiomas, 1 case of primary tumor and 2 cases of non-recurrence tumor. Three patients with blood blister-like aneurysms were treated with microsurgical suture after craniopharyngioma resection. Among the three cases with internal carotid artery fusiform aneurysm, 1 case underwent craniopharyngioma resection after internal maxillary artery-radial artery-middle cerebral artery bypass and isolation of the aneurysm; 1 case only underwent internal maxillary artery-radial artery-middle cerebral artery bypass and isolation of the aneurysm for non-recurrence tumor; 1 case underwent craniopharyngioma resection and dynamic observation of aneurysm. One case with a cystic aneurysm of the middle cerebral artery was clipped and the craniopharyngioma did not relapse.Results:All patients had no serious postoperative complications. During the follow-up period, there was no recurrence of craniopharyngioma, no recurrence of treated aneurysms, and the stability of aneurysms was observed.Conclusions:Inflammatory stimulation of craniopharyngioma cystic fluid and operation itself are the important reasons for the occurrence of aneurysms after craniopharyngioma surgery. Choosing appropriate surgical methods can complete the removal of craniopharyngioma and the treatment of aneurysms at one time.

Objective:To develop an occupational internal driving force measurement scale for general practitioners receiving residency training, and to investigate its reliability and validity.Methods:A pool of items was constructed for the scale based on the literature analysis and qualitative interview results of occupational internal driving force and the current development status of general practitioners, and then expert Delphi consultation was conducted to form the initial version of the scale. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 403 general practitioners to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:There were 11 items in the occupational internal driving force scale for general practitioners receiving residency training, which were divided into three dimensions. The scale had a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.945, and each dimension had a Cronbach's α coefficient of above 0.850; the KMO coefficient of the Bartlett's sphericity test was 0.925. The factor analysis showed that all items had a factor load of ≥0.4 and a commonality of >0.2, and thus 11 items were retained. Three common factors were extracted by the factor analysis and the correlation analysis showed a correlation coefficient of >0 between the common factors of the total score of the scale and a significant positive correlation ( P<0.01). Based on the contents, theoretical research, and expert suggestions of each factor, they were named subject affiliation, development expectations, and identification needs, which contained 3 items, 3 items, and 5 items, respectively. Conclusions:The occupational internal driving force scale for general practitioners receiving residency training has a reasonable structure and good reliability and validity and is suitable for evaluating the occupational internal driving force of general practitioners, which provides guidance for the vocational education of residents.
