Community general practitioners are the main force of primary health care, however, the lack of effective incentive mechanisms would affect their work enthusiasm. Therefore, to enhance incentive mechanisms,particularly from the perspective of the career development,will improve the work enthusiasm and post competeny of general practitioners in primary health care services. This article summarizes five major influencing factors of the incentives for community general practitioners, namely salary and benefits, performance evaluation, promotion and development, working conditions and interpersonal relationships, and proposes the operational strategies of incentive improvement, to provide reference for improving working conditions and strengthening incentive measures for community general practioners in primary community hospitals.

AIM: To investigate the current status of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP)in premature infants in Xiamen and analyze its influencing factors, aiming to provide a scientific basis for clinical treatment and preventive strategies.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on the case data of 363 preterm infants with a gestational age of <32 wk who underwent fundus examination at Xiang'an Hospital of Xiamen University from February 11, 2020 to February 25, 2023. The incidence of ROP was statistically analyzed based on the screening results. All premature infants were divided into ROP group(37 cases, 64 eyes)and non-ROP group(326 cases, 652 eyes). General clinical data and perinatal-related information of the two groups were compared, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing the occurrence of ROP in premature infants.RESULTS: A total of 363 premature infants were included in this study. The fundus screening results showed that a total of 37 cases(64 eyes)of premature infants were detected with ROP, including 10 cases(10 eyes)monocular and 27 cases(54 eyes)binocular, with an overall incidence of 10.2%(37/363). The severity was determined according to the ROP international classification standard(ROP is divided into 5 stages, with stage I being the least severe and stage V the most severe). Among the 64 eyes, 30 eyes(46.9%)were in stage I, 20 eyes(31.3%)were in stage II, 10 eyes(15.6%)were in stage III, 4 eyes(6.3%)were in stage IV, and there were no cases in stage V. By comparing the clinical data of the two groups, no significant differences were found in gender, mode of delivery, singleton or multiple births, premature rupture of membranes, history of asphyxia, patent ductus arteriosus(PDA), or neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS)between the two groups(all P>0.05). However, premature infants in the ROP group had significantly younger gestational age and lower birth weight compared to those in the non-ROP group(all P<0.05). Additionally, the ROP group had higher proportions of longer hospital stays, bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD), neonatal sepsis, anemia, oxygen therapy for more than 1 wk, oxygen concentration above 40%, and blood transfusion treatment(all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that combined neonatal sepsis(OR=166.985, 95% CI: 35.239-791.277, P<0.001), anemia(OR=8.111, 95% CI: 2.064-31.871, P=0.003), oxygen use time >1 wk(OR=10.216, 95% CI: 2.543-41.039, P=0.001), oxygen therapy concentration >40%(OR=7.647, 95% CI: 1.913-30.566, P=0.004), and receiving blood transfusion therapy(OR=5.879, 95% CI: 1.412-24.470, P=0.015)were the main risk factors affecting the occurrence of ROP in preterm infants, and the higher birth weight of preterm infants was a protective factor for ROP(OR=0.093, 95% CI: 0.022-0.394, P=0.001).CONCLUSION: The incidence of ROP in premature infants is relatively high, and there are multiple influencing factors. Low birth weight, neonatal sepsis, anemia, oxygen therapy, and blood transfusion treatment are high-risk factors for ROP in premature infants. Clinical attention should be given to such infants, and fundus screening should be conducted in a standardized manner to provide early treatment, thereby further reducing the risk of ROP in premature infants.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical significance of morular metaplasia (MM) in fertility-preserving treatment for young patients with endometrial hyperplasia and grade 1 endometrial endometrioid carcinoma.Methods:Clinical data was retrospectively collected from patients diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia or grade 1 endometrial endometrioid carcinoma under 40 years old who underwent progestin-based fertility-sparing treatmentat in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between January 2018 and November 2022.Patients were divided into the MM group (37 cases) and the non-MM group (63 cases) based on pathological findings. Clinical characteristics, hysteroscopic features, treatment efficacy and fertility outcomes were compared between the two groups. The MM group was further stratified into three subgroups based on the timing of MM occurrence:(1) MM-Bef group ( n=10): MM was present in the initial endometrial curettage or hysteroscopic biopsy pathology before fertility-sparing treatment and disappeared after treatment; (2) MM-Sus group ( n=14): MM persisted consistently before and after therapy;(3) MM-Aft group ( n=13): MM was absent before therapy but appeared after treatment. The risk factors which had impact on the treatment outcomes of the patients were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results:The rate of polycystic ovary syndrome were higher in the MM group than the non-MM group [51% (19/37) vs 27% (17/63), P=0.014]. The complete response (CR) rate was significantly lower in the MM group than in the non-MM group [73% (27/37) vs 95% (60/63), P=0.006], and the median time to CR was significantly longer in the MM group (6.0 vs 5.0 months, P=0.005).Multivariate analysis identified that MM-Sus ( HR=0.355, 95% CI:0.174-0.723; P=0.004) and MM-Aft ( HR=0.314, 95% CI:0.145-0.681; P=0.003) were independent risk factors for delayed CR in fertility-sparing treatment. The patients in the MM group and non-MM group underwent hysteroscopic biopsy for 76 and 131 times. "Gravel-like change" was a more frequent hysteroscopic manifestation in the MM group than that in the non-MM group [18% (14/76) vs 2% (2/131), P<0.001]. Conclusions:Patients in the MM group have poorer treatment outcomes than patients in the non-MM group. MM-Sus and MM-Aft are risk factors for fertility-preserving treatment in young patients with endometrial hyperplasia or grade 1 endometrial endometrioid carcinoma. "Gravel-like change" is the characteristic hysteroscopic manifestations of MM.

Objective:To evaluate the left ventricular(LV)function in heart transplant(HTx)patients with post-transplant diabetes(PTDM),and to examine the relevance of PTDM and LV function to the patient's prognosis.Methods:Two hundred and thirteen adult HTx patients who underwent echocardiography at Union Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology between January 2018 and January 2022 were prospectively included. The patients were divided into PTDM group( n=86)and Non-PTDM group( n=127). LV function parameters were acquired using conventional and two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography(2D-STE),and were compared between the two groups. The primary endpoints included all-cause mortality or transplant-related readmission. Results:Compared with Non-PTDM group,the LV mass of PTDM group was higher,the LV ejection fraction,LV global longitudinal strain(GLS),peak systolic global longitudinal strain rate,and early diastolic global longitudinal strain rate(dGLSr)were lower(all P<0.05). After a median follow-up period of 37.6(29.3)months,27 patients experienced clinical events. A multivariate analysis revealed that PTDM( HR=2.198,95% CI=1.018-4.743, P=0.045)and low GLS( HR=6.456,95% CI=2.889-14.426, P<0.001)were independent predictors of adverse clinical events after adjustment for dGLSr,body mass index and age. After subdividing the two groups into 4 subgroups by the cutoff value of GLS(16.5%),the prognosis was worst for HTx patients with PTDM and low GLS. Conclusions:HTx patients with PTDM have worse LV systolic and diastolic function than those without PTDM. Management of HTx patients with PTDM may be improved using GLS guidance.

Objective:To systematically review the medical decision-making for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from the perspective of caregivers.Methods:It was a systematic review. Using search terms as “Autism”“loneliness disorder”“autism spectrum disorder”“parents”“caregiver”“medical decision making”, etc., qualitative studies on medical decision-making of ASD caregivers in the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, CNKI.com, Wanfang Database, VIP database, and Chinese Biomedical Literature database were searched. The search was conducted from the inception of the databases to July 31, 2022, and the data was organized from August 1 to September 1, 2022. The literature quality was evaluated by two researchers according to the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research at the Centre for Evidence-based Health Care, Joanna Briggs Institute, Australia. Pooled integration method was used to integrate the study results and evaluate the medical decision-making of children with ASD from the perspective of caregivers.Results:Seventeen studies were included, with two studies rated as quality grade A and fifteen studies rated as quality grade B. A total of 36 research findings were extracted. These findings were grouped into ten new categories based on similarities, which were further synthesized into three overarching results: the symptom-driven medical decision-making process, delays in medical decision-making due to individual, family, and societal factors, and the influence of personal experiences and multiple external pressures on medical decision-making.Conclusion:The factors that lead to the delay or promotion of medical decision of caregivers of children with ASD are complicated, and comprehensive intervention measures should be taken at individual, family and social levels to promote early medical diagnosis and intervention of the children with ASD.
