Objective:To investigate the distribution of health needs and healthcare workforce demands among potential service users in community health service institurions (CHSIs) and establish a comprehensive health needs profile for targeted service development.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire survey (55 items for adults and 39 items for minors) was conducted among 564 residents aged 3-65 in Dapuqiao Subdistrict, Shanghai from March to May 2024. A health sketch model was developed, encompassing five dimensions (intake, basal metabolism, consumption, influencing factors, and somatosensory perception). Health issues were mapped to standardized healthcare services, and annual standardized workloads (SW) were calculated to quantify human resource demands. Results:Among 534 valid responses (94.68% response rate), 355 from the adults and 179 from minors, the top health issues for adults were irregular diet, nutritional imbalance, obesity, somatic fatigue, and disordered eating; for minors, they were nutritional imbalance, medication overuse, insufficient physical activity, picky eating, and anorexia. The total annual SW required to address these needs was 3 906 807.93. Among them, the total SW for each age group was as follows: the total annual SW demand for children aged between 3 and 5 years old was 24 108.90, for children aged between 6 and 11 years old was 141 355.70, for adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years old was 29 813.74, 223 475.50 for 18-24 year olds, 476 426.53 for 25-34 year olds, 1 221 105.84 for 35-44 year olds, 812 200.22 for 45-54 year olds; and 978 321.50 for 55-65 year olds. Workforce allocation analysis revealed a total demand for 139.84 standardized personnel, with rehabilitation therapists (38.16), general practitioners (35.69), and nurses (27.34) being the top three required roles.Conclusions:Health needs and workforce demands vary significantly across age groups. This study provides a data-driven framework for optimizing community health services through stratified health needs profiling and precision resource allocation. Future strategies should prioritize tailored interventions and workforce planning to bridge service gaps and enhance health outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the descrepancy between current supply and demand based on standardiized workload for rational human resource allocation in community health service centers.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted in Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center of Shanghai Huangpu District from January 1st to December 3lst 2023. The current status of demand and supply were analyzed using the 2023 data of the institution. The standardised workload was measured according to the potential basic medical and public health service needs based on the disease profile and population groups in the community. The discrepancy between the current supply and theoretical demand was analyzed.Results:A total of 36 634 patients paid 277 262 visits in outpatient clinics of Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center in 2023. There are total 161 employees in the center, 124 of whom are female (77.02%). The actual calibrated workload of basic medical care and public health service in the center calculated on fee-based medical service items in 2023 was 2 888 425.61 and 455 898.35, respectively; while the theoretically calibrated workload was 5 416 492.42 and 711 230.94, respectively. The center employed 131 medical and health workers currently, calibrated as 90.67 employees based on current demand, while it should be 183.74 calibrated on the theoretical demand, there was a certain discrepancy between the current staffing and the standard staffing based on the standardized workload calculation.Conclusion:At present, the actual standardized workload of basic medical and public health services in Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center still has room for improvement, but there is a certain gap between the current human resource allocation and the demand.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of PPAR-γ agonist Pioglitazone (PGZ) on the proliferation of malignant mesothelioma (MM) cells.Methods:In December 2019, MM cell lines MSTO-211H and NCI-H2452 were incubated with different final concentrations of PGZ (0, 10, 50, 100, 150, and 200 μmol/L) for different periods of time (24 h, 48 h, and 72 h) , and then the cell proliferation level was detected by CCK8 assay. After given various final concentration of PGZ (0, 10, 50, 100, 150, 200 μmol/L) the for 72 hours, the changes of number and morphology of MM cells were observed under an inverted microscope. The expressions of PPAR-γ and HMGB1 mRNA were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) after treatment of MM cells with PGZ of 0, 10, 50, 100 μmol/L for 72 h. The MM cells were treated with PGZ at concentration of 0, 100 μmol/L for 72 h, and the protein expressions of HMGB1 were examined using Western blotting and immunofluorescence; the protein expressions of Ki67 were assessed by immunohistochemistry.Results:The cell viability rate of MM cells was decreased after treated with PGZ ( P<0.05) . Cell number in PGZ-treated group was significantly less than that in control group and morphology changes were observed under light microscope. QRT-PCR results revealed significantly increased PPAR-γ mRNA expression in the PGZ-treated group compared to the control group ( P<0.05) . There was a significant decrease in the mRNA expression level of HMGB1 in the PGZ-treated group (100 μmol/L) as compared to the control group in MSTO-211H ( P<0.05) ; however, the expression level of HMGB1 in NCI-H2452 was an increase or no significant differences ( P>0.05) . Western blotting and immunofluorescence results showed that the protein expression of HMGB1 was reduced in the PGZ-treated group compared with the control group in MSTO-211H ( P<0.05) , but the protein expression of that in NCI-H2452 was no significant differences ( P>0.05) . Immunohistochemistry results showed increased expression of proliferation marker Ki-67. Conclusion:Pioglitazone suppresses the proliferation of MM cells through inhibition of HMGB1 by the activation of PPAR-γ.

Four hundred and four male patients with primary gout were enrolled. According to the degree of nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD), the patients were divided into simple gout ( n=121), gout combined with mild NAFLD ( n=149) and gout combined with moderate-severe NAFLD ( n=134). The height, weight, waist, hip, blood pressure and blood biochemistry parameters of patients were measured. The degree of NAFLD was negatively correlated with the age of patients in three groups. The BMI, ratio of waist/hip, count of red cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell distribution width ( SD and CV), triglyceride, alanine aminotransferase and HOMA-IR were increased with the increasing of NAFLD severity (all P<0.05). Red blood cell count, hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase, serum uric acid increased with the increasing of NAFLD severity (all P<0.05). Platelet, serum urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were decreased with the increase of NAFLD severity. Logistic regression showed that BMI, hemoglobin and HOMA-IR were independent risk factors for NAFLD. The prevalence and the severity of NAFLD was increased with increasing quadrates of hemoglobin. Taking group Q1 as a control, OR of NAFLD in group Q2 was 1.166(95 %CI:0.638-2.133), OR in group Q3 was 2.011(95 %CI:1.122-3.605)and OR in group Q4 was 3.120(95 %CI:1.613-6.034). The result indicates that hemoglobin levels are associated with the development and the severity of NAFLD in male patients with primary gout.

Objective To study the effect of myocardial infarction induced by distal left ascending artery occlusion on left ventrieular(LV) synchronism. Methods Routine echocardiography and vector velocity imaging were performed within 2 hours before and 7-14 days after myocardial infarction by occluding distal left ascending coronary arteries in experimental pigs. Routine eehocardiographie parameters of LV, including end diastolic and systolic diameters, volumes, and spherical indexes were measured or calculated. Six segmental peak systolic velocity, strain and strain rate were compared between pre- and post-myocardial infarction. Results After myocardial infarction, LV end diastolic, end systolic long diameter and end systolic volume increased with decreased ejection fraction. With the 6 segmental systolic velocity, strain and strain rate significantly reduced,the mean 6-segmental time to peak strain rate delayed significantly. Conclusions Abnormal synchronism after myocardial infarction may aggravate LV systolic dysfunction.
