Objective:To construct an evaluation index system of primary practice bases for standardized training of assistant general practitioners in Beijing.Methods:From September to December 2023, the evaluation index system was initially developed using the Context, Input, Process, and Product Evaluation Model (CIPP model), then 20 experts engaged in clinical teaching management and general practice standardized training base evaluation were invited for three rounds of Delphi expert consultation, and the weights of the indicators at all levels were determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process.Results:The response rates of the three rounds of expert consultation were 100.0%, 95.0%, and 95.0% respectively. The degree of authority of the expert consultations was greater than 0.70. The index importance and feasibility coordination coefficients of three rounds of expert consultation were 0.123 and 0.100 ( P<0.001), 0.064 and 0.068 ( P>0.05), and 0.149 and 0.221 ( P<0.001), respectively, indicting the convergence of the experts′ opinions. The evaluation indexes of the primary practice bases for standardized training of assistant general practitioners in Beijing were finally constructed, including five first-level indexes, including qualification and conditions, teaching organization and system, teaching staff, operation management and quality control; 11 second-level indexes, including basic conditions, department setup, teaching facilities, teaching organization and teaching system; and 25 third-level indexes, including qualification, scale, essential departments, conditional departments and basic teaching facilities. The weights of the five first-level indexes were qualification and conditions (0.333), teaching organization and system (0.167), teaching staff (0.167), operation management (0.167), quality control (0.167). Among the 11 second-level indexes, the top five weights were basic conditions (0.163), department setup (0.104), teaching organization (0.084), teacher requirements (0.084), and basic practice rotation management (0.084). Among the 25 third-level indexes, the top five weights were qualification (0.083), quality control process (0.082), scale (0.081), essential departments (0.053), and conditional departments (0.051). Conclusion:The evaluation index system of primary practice bases for standardized training of assistant general practitioners in Beijing has been constructed in this study based on Delphi expert consultations.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To explore the relationship between community health follow-up management and the quality of life of residents receiving home care from long-term care insurance(LTCI),and provide a basis for the construction of an integrated community home care service model centered on disabled residents.Methods According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and the principle of convenience,a sample was selected consisting of residents who participated in LTCI home care from Jan 1 to Dec 31,2021,in Meilong Community of Minhang District,Shanghai.After a year of participation,the subjects'quality of life was assessed face-to-face by trained community doctors using the 36-item short form health survey(SF-36).Based on the electronic health records of residents,the community chronic disease management system,the LTCI management system,and combined with on-site questionnaire survey,community doctors collected the demographic information,lifestyle,types of diseases,chronic disease comorbidity status,and health follow-up management provided by primary medical and health institutions.To assess the association between community health follow-up management and residents'quality of life with home care insurance for elderly care through cross-sectional analysis.Results The survey revealed that 230(57.64%)individuals had indeed received health follow-up management provided by the community health service center.The scores of the general health,physiological function,physical pain,mental health,vitality,and emotional function dimensions on the SF-36 scale were found to be higher compared to those of no follow-up population.The difference between the two groups exhibited statistical significance(all P＜0.05).Furthermore,individuals who actively engaged in the health follow-up management provided by community health service centers exhibited significantly higher scores in terms of health change(P=0.003),indicating a relatively favorable overall health status.After adjusting for demographic and confounding variables,further analysis revealed a significant positive association between health follow-up management provided by community health service centers and the overall health,physiological function,physical pain,mental health,and vitality dimensions of the SF-36 scale among LTCI beneficiaries(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The provision of health follow-up management by community health service centers exerts a significant positive impact on the quality of life among disabled residents covered by LTCI.It is an effective way to improve the quality of LTCI home care services.

Objective To construct trajectory models of care-seeking patterns for type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients,analyze the influencing factors of different trajectories,and explore the fasting blood glucose control levels of T2DM patients with different trajectories.Methods A retrospective cohort study was carried out on 18088 T2DM patients who had health records and been involved in the diabetic management in Community Health Service Center of Minhang District,Shanghai from 2006 to 2009.Starting from Jan 1,2010,participants were followed up until Dec 31,2019,with complete follow-up information.Group-based trajectory modelling(GBTM)was employed to identify and construct the fluctuation trajectory of fasting blood glucose in the patients.Bayesian information criterion(BIC),average posterior probability(AvePP)and other evaluation indicators were used to select the optimum subgroup number model.Then the differences in demographic characteristics,health status,family history,fasting blood glucose,BMI,etc were compared among different categories.Multinational logistic regression model was constructed to explore the influencing factors of different fluctuation trajectories.Cox regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between the long-term trajectories of care-seeking patterns and fasting blood glucose control level.Results Using GBTM analysis,we constructed the optimal Model 4 to categorize 18088 T2DM patients with community health records into five distinct trajectory subgroups:continuous non-attendance group(22.29%),low-level increasing group(15.09%),high-level slowly decreasing group(14.18%),high-level rapidly decreasing group(14.90%),and continuous regular attendance group(33.54%).With the continuous regular attendance group serving as the reference,gender,age,place of residence,baseline comorbidity of hypertension,baseline fasting plasma glucose level,and BMI were found to influence the community attendance trajectories of T2DM patients(P<0.05).After adjusting for confounding factors,Cox regression analysis revealed that compared to the continuous non-attendance group,the low-level increasing group,high-level slowly decreasing group,and continuous regular attendance group had better glycemic control,with HRs of 0.37(95%CI:0.34-0.39),0.72(95%CI:0.67-0.78),and 0.78(95%CI:0.73-0.84),respectively.The glycemic control level in the high-level rapidly decreasing group was comparable,with an HR of 1.06(95%CI:0.99-1.12).Conclusion Based on the optimal model,the community medical treatment trajectories of T2DM patients showed different dynamic characteristics.Factors such as gender,residence,hypertension,and weight loss may influence these varying trajectories.Regular community visits and follow-up may help control blood glucose levels.

Objective: To investigate the detection and diagnostic efficacy of chest radiographs for ≤30 mm pulmonary nodules and the factors affecting them, and to compare the level of consistency among readers. Methods: A total of 43 patients with asymptomatic pulmonary nodules who consulted in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2012 to 2014 and had chest CT and X-ray chest radiographs during the same period were retrospectively selected, and one nodule ≤30 mm was visible on chest CT images in the whole group (total 43 nodules in the whole group). One senior radiologist with more than 20 years of experience in imaging diagnosis reviewed CT images and recording the size, morphology, location, and density of nodules was selected retrospectively. Six radiologists with different levels of experience (2 residents, 2 attending physicians and 2 associate chief physicians independently reviewed the chest images and recorded the time of review, nodule detection, and diagnostic opinion. The CT imaging characteristics of detected and undetected nodules on X images were compared, and the factors affecting the detection of nodules on X-ray images were analyzed. Detection sensitivity and diagnosis accuracy rate of 6 radiologists were calculated, and the level of consistency among them was compared to analyze the influence of radiologists' seniority and reading time on the diagnosis results. Results: The number of nodules detected by all 6 radiologists was 17, with a sensitivity of detection of 39.5%(17/43). The number of nodules detected by ≥5, ≥4, ≥3, ≥2, and ≥1 physicians was 20, 21, 23, 25, and 28 nodules, respectively, with detection sensitivities of 46.5%, 48.8%, 53.5%, 58.1%, and 65.1%, respectively. Reasons for false-negative result of detection on X-ray images included the size, location, density, and morphology of the nodule. The sensitivity of detecting ≤30 mm, ≤20 mm, ≤15 mm, and ≤10 mm nodules was 46.5%-58.1%, 45.9%-54.1%, 36.0%-44.0%, and 36.4% for the 6 radiologists, respectively; the diagnosis accuracy rate was 19.0%-85.0%, 16.7%-6.5%, 18.2%-80.0%, and 0%-75.0%, respectively. The consistency of nodule detection among 6 doctors was good (Kappa value: 0.629-0.907) and the consistency of diagnostic results among them was moderate or poor (Kappa value: 0.350-0.653). The higher the radiologist's seniority, the shorter the time required to read the images. The reading time and the seniority of the radiologists had no significant influence on the detection and diagnosis results (P>0.05). Conclusions: The ability of radiographs to detect lung nodules ≤30 mm is limited, and the ability to determine the nature of the nodules is not sufficient, and the increase in reading time and seniority of the radiologists will not improve the diagnostic accuracy. X-ray film exam alone is not suitable for lung cancer diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of moxibustion on the ultrastructure of synovial cells of knee joint and serum cytokines in adjuvant arthritis (AA) rats, and to explore the potential mechanism of moxibustion in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS: Forty-five Wistar male rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group and a moxibustion group, with 15 rats in each group. In the model group and the moxibustion group, the AA model was replicated under wind, cold and humid environment and by injection with complete freund's adjuvant. In the moxibustion group, moxibustion at "Zusanli" (ST 36) and "Shenshu" (BL 23) was used, 20 min each time, once daily, for consecutive 21 days. In the normal group and the model group, no intervention was processed. The scores of the knee joint swelling degree (JSD) and arthritis index (AI) were compared among groups. The ultrastructure of synovial cells of knee joint were observed under transmission electron microscope (TEM). The levels of serum cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interieukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 were detected using ELISA method. RESULTS: Compared with the normal group, JSD and AI scores, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were increased (P<0.01), while IL-10 was reduced (P<0.01) in the model group after intervention. JSD and AI scores, and the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were lower (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the level of IL-10 was higher (P<0.01) in the moxibustion group compared with the model group. Compared with the normal group, the ultrastructure of synovial cell was obviously damaged in the model group, and the damage was attenuated in the moxibustion group compared with the model group. CONCLUSION Moxibustion can reduce the symptoms of arthritis in AA rats, which may be related to the improvement of the ultrastructure of synovial cells and the regulation of cytokines.

Objective: To investigate the genetic and genomic profiling of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) and factors affecting its survival rate. Methods: Clinical characteristics, cytogenetics, molecular biology results and survival status of children with 27 JMML cases admitted to the Hematology Department of Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from December 2012 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, and the outcomes of the children were followed up. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Univariate analysis was used for analyzing factors affecting the overall survival (OS) rates of patients who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Log-Rank test was used for comparison of survival curves. Results: Among 27 JMML cases, there were 11 males and 16 females. The age of disease onset was 28 (11,52) months. There are 20 cases of normal karyotype, 4 cases of monosomy 7, 1 case of trisomy 8,1 case of 11q23 rearrangement and 1 case of complex karyotype. A total of 39 somatic mutations were detected.Those involved in RAS signal pathway were the highest (64%(25/39)), among which PTPN11 mutation was the most frequent (44% (11/25)). A total of 17 cases (63%) received HSCT, 8 cases (30%) did not receive HSCT, and 2 cases (7%) lost follow-up. For children receiving transplantation, the follow-up time after transplantation was 47 (11,57) months. The 1-year OS rate of high-risk transplantation group (17 cases) and high-risk non transplantation group (6 cases) was (88±8)% and (50±20)% respectively, with a statistically significant difference (χ²=5.01, P=0.025). The 5-year OS rate of the high-risk transplantation group was (75±11)%. The survival time of those who relapsed or progressed to acute myeloid leukemia after transplantation was significantly shorter than that of those who did not relapse (χ²=6.80, P=0.009). The OS rate of patients with or without PTPN11 mutation was (81±12) % and (67±19)% respectively (χ²=0.85, P=0.356). Conclusions: The main pathogenesis involved in JMML is gene mutation related to RAS signaling pathway, and the most common driver gene of mutation is PTPN11. Allogeneic HSCT can significantly improve the survival rate of high-risk JMML patients. The recurrence or progression after transplantation was related to poor prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the surgical indications and perioperative clinical outcomes of pelvic exenteration (PE) for locally advanced, recurrent pelvic malignancies and complex pelvic fistulas. Methods: This was a descriptive study.The indications for performing PE were: (1) locally advanced, recurrent pelvic malignancy or complex pelvic fistula diagnosed preoperatively by imaging and pathological examination of a biopsy; (2)preoperative agreement by a multi-disciplinary team that non-surgical and conventional surgical treatment had failed and PE was required; and (3) findings on intraoperative exploration confirming this conclusion.Contraindications to this surgical procedure comprised cardiac and respiratory dysfunction, poor nutritional status,and mental state too poor to tolerate the procedure.Clinical data of 141 patients who met the above criteria, had undergone PE in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2018 to September 2022, had complete perioperative clinical data, and had given written informed consent to the procedure were collected,and the operation,relevant perioperative variables, postoperative pathological findings (curative resection), and early postoperative complications were analyzed. Results: Of the 141 included patients, 43 (30.5%) had primary malignancies, 61 (43.3%) recurrent malignancies, 28 (19.9%) complex fistulas after radical resection of malignancies,and nine (6.4%)complex fistulas caused by benign disease. There were 79 cases (56.0%) of gastrointestinal tumors, 30 cases (21.3%) of reproductive tumors, 16 cases (11.3%) of urinary tumors, and 7 cases (5.0%) of other tumors such mesenchymal tissue tumors. Among the 104 patients with primary and recurrent malignancies, 15 patients with severe complications of pelvic perineum of advanced tumors were planned to undergo palliative PE surgery for symptom relief after preoperative assessment of multidisciplinary team; the other 89 patients were evaluated for radical PE surgery. All surgeries were successfully completed. Total PE was performed on 73 patients (51.8%),anterior PE on 22 (15.6%),and posterior PE in 46 (32.6%). The median operative time was 576 (453,679) minutes, median intraoperative blood loss 500 (200, 1 200) ml, and median hospital stay 17 (13.0,30.5)days.There were no intraoperative deaths. Of the 89 patients evaluated for radical PE surgery, the radical R0 resection was achieved in 64 (71.9%) of them, R1 resection in 23 (25.8%), and R2 resection in two (2.2%). One or more postoperative complications occurred in 85 cases (60.3%), 32 (22.7%)of which were Clavien-Dindo grade III and above.One patient (0.7%)died during the perioperative period. Conclusion: PE is a valid option for treating locally advanced or recurrent pelvic malignancies and complex pelvic fistulas.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy of epithelial-off accelerated corneal cross-linking(CXL)in the treatment of advanced keratoconus.METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on data collected from 32 patients(43 eyes)with advanced keratoconus who underwent epithelial-off accelerated CXL at Ningxia Eye Hospital from April 2020 to December 2021. Slit-lamp, intraocular pressure, uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), corrected visual acuity, specular microscope, Pentacam and Corvis ST were tested before and at 1, 3 and 6mo after surgery. Preoperative and postoperative corneal condition, UCVA, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and the values of corneal endothelial, maximum keratometry(Kmax), thinnest corneal thickness(TCT), anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea K1, K2, biomechanically corrected intraocular pressure(bIOP), applanation time 1(A1T), applanation length 1(A1L), applanation velocity 1(A1V), applanation time 2(A2T), applanation length 2(A2L), applanation velocity 2(A2V), highest concavity deformation amplitude(HCDA), radius at highest curvature(HCR), highest concavity peak distance(HCPD)and stiffness parameter at first applanation(SP-A1)were recorded.RESULTS: There were differences between UCVA(LogMAR; 1.06±0.49, 0.78±0.39)and BCVA(LogMAR; 0.48±0.34, 0.38±0.29)before and at 6mo after surgery(P<0.05), but there were no differences in corneal endothelial cells(2917.39±288.38 vs. 2959.19±336.27 cells/mm2, P=0.477). There were differences among Kmax, TCT, anterior surface K1 and K2 and posterior surface K1 before and after surgery(P<0.05), and all increased at 1mo after surgery then returned to preoperative level at 3mo after surgery, while there was no difference in the posterior K2. Furthermore, there were statistical significance in A1T, HCPD and SP-A1 before and after surgery(P<0.05), while there were no statistical significance in A1L, A1V,A2T, A2L, A2V, HCDA, HCR and bIOP(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Epithelial-off accelerated CXL can prevent the progression of keratoconus within half year after surgery, and it has certain safety.

In 2020, the prevalence of abnormal spinal curvature among 54 079 students in Shandong Province was 1.54%. The multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that, compared with those in primary school, economically underdeveloped areas, and non-residential schools, students in middle and high schools, economically average areas, and residential schools had a higher risk of abnormal spinal curvature, with OR (95%CI) values of 2.029 (1.662-2.476), 2.746 (2.208-3.416), 2.237 (1.740-2.875) and 2.057 (1.705-2.483), respectively. Compared with those in economically underdeveloped areas, who were underweight, who had seat adjustments≤1 time per academic year, and who had physical education classes≤1 per week, students in economically developed areas, who were normal weight, overweight, and obese, who had seat adjustments≥2 times per academic year, and who had physical education classes 2-3 or≥4 per week, had a lower risk of abnormal spinal curvature, with OR (95%CI) values of 0.690 (0.521-0.915), 0.722 (0.546-0.955), 0.535 (0.389-0.735), 0.383 (0.274-0.535), 0.835 (0.711-0.980), 0.561 (0.474-0.663) and 0.491 (0.315-0.766), respectively.
