Objective:To evaluate the short-term and long-term effects of different incentive strategies on attracting physicians from secondary and higher-level hospitals to work in primary health institutions, and to analyze the influencing factors in depth.Methods:Based on the preference probabilities of physicians from secondary and higher-level hospitals to work in primary health institutions, as measured by a discrete choice experiment model, a Markov model was constructed to simulate physician mobility between different types of health institutions. The model was used to assess the long-term attractiveness of various intervention strategies and to identify key factors affecting physicians′ decisions to work in primary health institutions.Results:Increasing salary by 10% and providing permanent positions (bianzhi) were found to be the most effective strategies for attracting physicians from secondary and higher-level hospitals to primary health institutions, increasing physicians′ preference probabilities by 54.5% and 58.5%, respectively. The 20-year Markov model simulation of physician mobility showed that, without intervention, the number of physicians in primary health institutions would decline from 171 to 33, while the gap with secondary and higher-level hospitals would continue to widen. Simulations examining the effects of different job attributes revealed that 9 factors, including working in township hospitals or community health service centers, maintaining or increasing current salary, having record-based tenure or bianzhi, working 40-60 hours or>40 h per week, and receiving higher local recognition and respect, could effectively attract physicians to primary health institutions. Among these, a 10% salary increase and bianzhi provision could increase the number of physicians in primary institutions to 361 and 364, respectively. Moreover, greater local recognition and respect for physicians could help sustain long-term growth in the number of primary healthcare physicians.Conclusions:Strategies of increasing annual salary and offering bianzhi can effectively attract a large number of high-quality physicians to primary health institutions in the short term; however, their effectiveness gradually diminishes over time. To achieve sustainable long-term in the number of physicians in primary health institutions, further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of other incentive strategies and to develop a comprehensive incentive strategy combination.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of dyadic coping between perceived social support and family cohesion and adaptability and happiness in spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments.Methods:From December 2023 to May 2024, a total of 366 spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments who received treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were recruited as study participants. Data were collected using the general information, perceived social support scale, dyadic coping inventory, Chinese version of the family cohesion and adaptability scale(FACESⅡ-CV), and memorial University of Newfoundland scale of happiness. The AMOS 21.0 software was utilized to construct a structural equation model to examine the mediating effect of dyadic coping between perceived social support, family cohesion and adaptability and happiness.Results:The spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments reported overall scores for perceived social support (62.80±12.80), dyadic coping (117.07±20.78), family cohesion and adaptability (115.96±19.51), and happiness (22.27±7.29). Family cohesion and adaptability was positively correlated with dyadic coping and perceived social support ( r=0.614, 0.520, both P<0.01).Spousal happiness was positively correlated with dyadic coping and perceived social support ( r=0.296, 0.202, both P<0.01).The spouses recognized that perceived social support had a positive correlation with dyadic coping ( r=0.479, P<0.01).Dyadic coping played a partial mediating effect between perceived social support and family cohesion and adaptability as well as happiness, accounting for 32.41% (0.211/0.651) and 44.39% (0.190/0.428) of the total effect, respectively. Conclusion:Dyadic coping is the mediating variable of family cohesion, adaptability and happiness of spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments. Medical staff should try to construct a dyadic coping intervention plan to improve the dyadic coping level of spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments, so as to improve their family happiness index.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive malignancy predominantly managed via chemotherapy. Our clinical sample analysis revealed a significant correlation between elevated CD24 expression in TNBC tumor cells and patient survival rates. We developed a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), named HN03, consisting of an antibody with engineered cysteines for site-specific conjugation with a low toxic nitric oxide (NO) precursor as its payload through a novel Pt(IV)-mediated bioorthogonal self-cleavable linker. HN03 specifically targets tumor cells expressing high levels of CD24, concurrently generating cisplatin and releasing NO upon activation. HN03 also exhibited potent in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity. It significantly reduced tumor growth at various doses, prevented tumor metastasis, with markedly lower toxicity than traditional chemotherapy agents. We found that a key mechanism of its action involved inducing apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress, substantially decreasing the number of M2-type macrophages. Overall, HN03 stands out as a promising therapeutic option for TNBC, offering a targeted treatment with reduced side effects and the potential for improved outcomes. Furthermore, using Pt(IV) in the linker and an NO precursor as the payload enhances the versatility of the Antibody-NO donor Conjugate (ANC), offering new avenues for the design of the next generation of ADCs.
