Objective:To examine the manifestations and causes of administrative burden among primary healthcare professionals,and to explore its impact on job burnout through the mediating role of role conflict,providing theoretical and empirical support for governance-level burden-reduction strategies.Methods:An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was employed,focusing on primary healthcare professionals in Shandong Province.In the first phase,in-depth interviews were conducted with 175 participants;in the second phase,a questionnaire survey of 1,096 participants and follow-up interviews with 107 participants were carried out.Results:The proportions of respondents who reported"heavy"or"very heavy"burdens were 62.7%for inspection,54.8%for documentation,51.8%for reporting,and 24.4%for meetings.Structural equation modeling showed that administrative burden had a direct effect on job burnout(0.150)and an indirect effect through role conflict(0.093).Qualitative findings further indicated that administrative burden largely stemmed from public health traceability requirements and medical insurance policies,and operated through both resource-based and value-based conflicts.Conclusions:Primary healthcare professionals face considerable administrative burdens,which may heighten job burnout through role conflict.Governance reforms should optimize inspection and assessment,streamline data reporting,refine record-keeping,and promote collaborative governance to break the chain of institutional pressure leading to burnout.

Objective To evaluate the effects of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction timing on the motor performance and proprioception by clinical evaluation as well as proprioception and motor performance tests on the patients more than 2 years after ACL reconstruction. Methods The patients who underwent ACL reconstruction in the National Institute of Sports Medicine,General Administration of Sport of China from January 2015 to January 2021 and met the inclusion criteria were followed up,and the postoperative data were collected retrospectively.Fifty-six patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study and categorized into two groups:early surgery (n=28,who underwent ACL reconstruction ≤3 weeks after injury) and delayed surgery (n=28,who underwent ACL reconstruction >3 weeks after injury).The basic information,clinical evaluation results,proprioception,and motor performance were compared between the two groups. Results The ACL return to sport after injury scale (ACL-RSI) score in the early surgery group was higher than that in the delayed surgery group [(68.68±22.04)scores vs. (55.82±24.87)scores,P=0.045].There was no difference in the range of motion of the knee joint,the positive rate of pivot shift test,or the scores of Tegner,Marx,Lysholm,knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS),and international knee documentation committee (IKDC) between the two groups (all P>0.05).Although there was no significant difference in range of motion of the knee joint between the two groups,the proportion of knee flexion and extension affected in the early surgery group was smaller than that in the delayed surgery group.Neither motor performance (isokinetic strength test,Y-balance test,and single-leg jump test) nor proprioception had difference between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions Early ACL reconstruction outperformed delayed ACL reconstruction in improving the psychological health,emotions,and confidence in returning to sport,accelerating functional recovery of the patients.The timing of ACL reconstruction has no significant effect on the short-term postoperative knee stability,knee function,motor performance,or proprioceptive recovery of the patients.Early ACL reconstruction is recommended for improving the clinical outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the effects of knee flexor and extensor strength on the subjective function and motor performance of knees after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Methods A total of 53 patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in the National Institute of Sports Medicine,General Administration of Sport of China from June 2015 to June 2021 and met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study.The patients were followed up time for at least 2 years.An isometric muscle strength test system was used to measure the strength of bilateral quadriceps and hamstring muscles.The patients were grouped according to whether the limb symmetry index (LSI) of peak torque of quadriceps and hamstring muscle reached 85% at an angular velocity of 60°/s.Specifically,26 patients were classified into group A (LSI≥85%) and 27 patients were classified into group B (LSI<85%).The subjective function and motor performance of knees were compared between the two groups. Results In terms of subjective function of knees,the international knee documentation committee (IKDC) score (88.76±9.93 vs. 81.08±12.57,P=0.017) and knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) (86.27±8.96 vs. 80.22±11.31,P=0.036) were different between groups A and B.There was no significant difference in Lysholm score [95.0 (79.8,100.00) vs. 86.00 (66.00,100.00),P=0.238],ACL return to sports after injury scale score (66.08±22.25 vs. 61.12±23.53,P=0.434),Marx score [6.00 (4.75,7.00) vs. 6.00 (4.00,7.00),P=0.805] or Tegner activity score [8.00 (4.00,12.00) vs. 4.00 (2.00,12.00),P=0.566] between the two groups.In terms of motor performance,the single-leg triple hop LSI (0.92±0.13 vs. 0.81±0.18,P=0.016) and single-leg crossover hop LSI (0.96±0.12 vs. 0.84±0.22,P=0.021) showed significant differences between groups A and B,while there was no significant difference in single-leg hop LSI (0.90±0.18 vs. 0.79±0.25,P=0.116) between the two groups.In addition,there was no statistical significance in proprioception [30°:8.83±4.66 vs. 10.73±4.63,P=0.143;45°:6.94±3.82 vs. 7.66±3.93,P=0.504;60°:4.10 (3.20,4.72) vs. 3.90 (2.30,5.20),P=0.493] or Y-balance test results [anterior LSI:0.98 (0.84,1.02) vs. 0.94 (0.86,0.98),P=0.328;posterolateral LSI:1.00±0.08 vs. 0.97±0.07,P=0.249;posteromedial LSI:1.00 (0.97,1.03) vs. 0.96 (0.93,1.03),P=0.179] between groups A and B. Conclusion The patients with good symmetry of quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction had better subjective function and movement performance of knees than the patients with poor symmetry,which was mainly reflected in the IKDC score,KOOS,single-leg triple hop,and single-leg crossover hop.

Objective To investigate the effects of rotation stability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) on subjective outcomes,sport performance,psychological readiness,and return to sport. Methods The patients who underwent ACLR in the Sports Hospital,National Institute of Sports Medicine,General Administration of Sport of China from January 2015 to January 2021 were followed up during the period from November 2022 to December 2023.The patients were grouped according to the results of the pivot shift test (PST) of the affected knee at the last follow-up visit.A total of 66 patients who participated in the follow-up and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were finally enrolled in this study,including 32 patients showing a negative PST result (stable group) and 34 patients showing a positive PST result (unstable group).The basic information,subjective function score,and return-to-sport performance were compared between the two groups. Results In terms of sport performance,the two groups showed differences in the limb symmetry index in single-leg hops,triple hops,and crossover hops (P=0.028,P=0.024,and P=0.044,respectively).The anterior cruciate ligament-return to sport after injury scale score was higher in the stable group than in the unstable group [(70.44±22.82) scores vs. (53.44±21.74) scores,P=0.003].The mean of KT-2000 test results in the stable group was lower than that in the unstable group [(0.53±1.02) mm vs. (2.06±2.31) mm,P=0.001].The Lysholm score,international knee documentation committee score,knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score,Tegner score,and Marx score did not have significance between the two groups (all P>0.05).The return-to-sport rate was 43.8% (including 14.3% reaching safe return criteria,which accounted for 6.3% in all the patients) in the stable group and 35.3% (including 8.3% reaching safe return criteria,which accounted for 2.9% in all the patients) in the unstable group.There was no difference in the 60°/s isokinetic muscle strength,maximal muscle strength ratio of the affected extensor-flexor muscles,or Y-balance test result between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions Knee joint rotational instability after ACLR results in poor performance in single-leg hops,triple hops,and crossover hops,low psychological readiness,and anterior-posterior knee laxity.In short- to medium-term follow-up for ACLR,the return-to-sport rate remained low regardless of knee joint rotational stability,with the majority of patients failing to meet safe return criteria.

Objective To compare the five-year subjective functional outcomes of single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with three different femoral tunnel positions under arthroscopic guidance. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 165 patients who underwent ACLR at the Department of Sports Traumatology,Sports Hospital,National Institute of Sports Medicine,General Administration of Sport of China from January 2012 to December 2017.According to femoral tunnel positions,the patients were assigned into three groups of low centre (LC)section (n=53),high centre (HC) section (n=45),and high anterior medial (HAM) section (n=67).The three groups were compared before and 5 years after surgery regarding the following items:international knee documentation committee(IKDC) score,Lysholm score,and ACL-return to sport after injury (ACL-RSI) scale score. Results All patients were followed up for 57-64 months [(60.2±1.52) months].The IKDC scores in the LC,HC,and HAM groups 5 years after surgery were 80.80±10.82,77.36±14.36,and 85.33±7.42,respectively,and the scores were higher than those before surgery (all P=0.002).The HAM group had higher IKDC score than the LC and HC groups 5 years after surgery (P=0.022,P=0.008).The Lysholm scores in the LC,HC,and HAM groups 5 years after surgery were 80.87±10.83,77.67±15.23,and 86.10±7.68,respectively,which were higher than those before surgery (all P=0.002).Moreover,the HAM group had higher Lysholm score than the LC and HC groups (P=0.020,P=0.022).The ACL-RSI scores in the LC,HC,and HAM groups 5 years after surgery were 70.39±17.26,73.58±16.81,and 83.73±11.10,respectively,and the score was higher in the HAM group than in the LC and HC groups (P=0.014,P=0.038). Conclusions The ACL patients treated by ACLR with the HAM section had better rotational stability and subjective function 5 years after surgery.Therefore,we recommend the HAM section as the preferred femoral tunnel position in ACL reconstruction.

OBJECTIVE To establish the ultra-high liquid chromatography (UPLC) characteristic spectrum of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different producing areas, to conduct chemical pattern recognition analysis, and to identify the medicinal materials of their different origins and counterfeit products. METHODS UPLC method was adopted to establish the characteristic spectra of 43 batches of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different origins; cluster analysis combined with principal component analysis were used to analyze their quality; Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different origins and counterfeit products were identified. RESULTS UPLC specific spectrum of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis was established, and 13 common peaks were calibrated; peak 2 was identified as catechin, peak 3 as chlorogenic acid, peak 4 as cryptochlorogenic acid, peak 7 as isochlorogenic acid B, peak 8 as isodehydroguotenine, peak 9 as isooguotenine, peak 10 as dehydroguotenine, peak 11 as isochlorogenic acid C, peak 12 as goutenine, and peak 13 as camptothecin. Through cluster analysis, the medicinal materials of 43 batches of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis could be divided into 5 categories according to their different origins. Further principal component analysis revealed that the principal component comprehensive scores of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis produced in Jiangxi and Hunan were relatively high, ranging from 0.264 to 2.904. The specific chromatogram could effectively distinguish among the different origins and their counterfeit products of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC specific chromatogram can be used for quality control of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis, and the study found that the quality of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from Jiangxi and Hunan provinces is relatively good.

Objective China is among the 30 countries with a high burden of tuberculosis(TB)worldwide,and TB remains a public health concern.Kashgar Prefecture in the southern Xinjiang Autonomous Region is considered as one of the highest TB burden regions in China.However,molecular epidemiological studies of Kashgar are lacking. Methods A population-based retrospective study was conducted using whole-genome sequencing(WGS)to determine the characteristics of drug resistance and the transmission patterns. Results A total of 1,668 isolates collected in 2020 were classified into lineages 2(46.0%),3(27.5%),and 4(26.5%).The drug resistance rates revealed by WGS showed that the top three drugs in terms of the resistance rate were isoniazid(7.4%,124/1,668),streptomycin(6.0%,100/1,668),and rifampicin(3.3%,55/1,668).The rate of rifampicin resistance was 1.8%(23/1,290)in the new cases and 9.4%(32/340)in the previously treated cases.Known resistance mutations were detected more frequently in lineage 2 strains than in lineage 3 or 4 strains,respectively:18.6%vs.8.7 or 9%,P<0.001.The estimated proportion of recent transmissions was 25.9%(432/1,668).Multivariate logistic analyses indicated that sex,age,occupation,lineage,and drug resistance were the risk factors for recent transmission.Despite the low rate of drug resistance,drug-resistant strains had a higher risk of recent transmission than the susceptible strains(adjusted odds ratio,1.414;95%CI,1.023-1.954;P = 0.036).Among all patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis(DR-TB),78.4%(171/218)were attributed to the transmission of DR-TB strains. Conclusion Our results suggest that drug-resistant strains are more transmissible than susceptible strains and that transmission is the major driving force of the current DR-TB epidemic in Kashgar.
