Objective:To analyze the status of social support and the influencing factors of support utilization among general practitioners.Methods:An investigation on the status of social support and the influencing factors of support utilization was conducted among general practitioners (GPs) from 6 communities in Shanghai Minhang District selected by simple sampling method in February 2023. The investigation included a questionnaire survey containing basic information and intervention measures (emotional support, information support, tool support); and assessments of the Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS), Perceived Social Support Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Quality of Work Life Scale, Trait Coping Style Scale, and Psychological Resilience Scale. The association of social support status with various characteristics of GPs and their perceived social support and trait coping style was analyzed, and the influencing factors of social support utilization were determined.Results:A total of 184 questionnaires were distributed and 184 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 100.00%. Among the 184 participants, 55 (29.89%) had a general level of social support, and 129 (70.11%) were satisfied with their social support. The total score of SSRS was (37.49±8.41), with the objective support dimension scoring (9.67±3.42), subjective support scoring (20.04±4.52), and support utilization scoring (7.77±2.09). Univariate analysis showed significant differences in social support levels among respondents with different marital status, number of children, emotional support, informational support, instrumental support, positive coping, negative coping, psychological resilience, compassion fatigue, general self-efficacy, and perceived social support status ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that marital status, family support, professional skills, positive coping, and negative coping were independent influencing factors of social support. Among these factors, being married, having family care support, professional titles and skills and positive coping had a positive impact on social support levels, while negative coping had a negative impact ( P<0.05). Further stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that friend support, positive coping and family care were positive influencing factors for support utilization, while negative coping was a negative influencing factor ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The levels of social support among GPs in Minghang district of Shanghai are relatively high. Marital status, family support, professional title and skills and positive coping are positive factors for social support; and friend support, positive coping and family support are positive factors for support utilization.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of family doctor contracting services in alleviating healthcare access barriers of community residents.Methods:From January to February, 2025, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 1 188 patients attending general practice clinics in Shanghai Minhang District selected by combination of stratified sampling and simple random sampling. Patients were divided into two groups, 560 with family doctor contracting were designed as a study group and 628 without contrcting as a control group. The questionnaire based on the Andersen Health Behavior Model was used for the survey, and binary logistic regression was employed to analyze the influencing factors of family doctor contracting. The intervention effect of family doctor contract services on the healthcare access barriers of residents was analyzed by Medical Treatment Barrier Questionnaire with the counterfactual framework and the propensity score matching (PSM) method.Results:Among 1 188 participants, there were 472 males (39.73%) and 716 females (60.27%) aged 18-79 years. Multivariate analysis showed that factors influencing family doctor contracting were: predisposing factors including gender ( OR=1.593, 95% CI:1.007-2.518) and age ( OR=1.875, 95% CI:1.394-2.520); enabling factors including main source of medical care ( OR=0.407, 95% CI:0.252-0.658); need factors including household registration ( OR=4.060, 95% CI:2.554-6.453) and frequency of medical visits ( OR=5.947, 95% CI:4.321-8.184)(all P<0.05). The overall score of healthcare access barriers in the two groups was (76.42±26.87); that for study group was (55.35±12.54), and for the contract group was (95.22±21.81) ( P<0.05); the study group had better scores than contract group in 6 dimensions: unawareness, unavailability, inaccessibility, non-adaptability, unaffordability and unacceptability ( t=-27.97, -23.91, -28.45, -18.45, -13.15, -48.61, -38.02, all P<0.05). After propensity score matching (PSM), the study group had better scores in 4 dimensions: unawareness, inaccessibility, non-adaptability and unacceptability ( t=-4.22, -1.97, -2.70, -3.28, -3.21, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Family doctor contract services have a significant effect on improving residents′ subjective perception of access barriers to healthcare, especially in terms of information perception, resource accessibility, process adaptation, and psychological acceptance.

This article reports a rare case of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) with renal involvement complicated by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The patient appeared increased serum creatinine 20 d after allo-HSCT, and gradually appeared hypertension, oliguria and edema. Despite discontinuing suspected medications, serum creatinine level did not decrease. Treatment with basiliximab and mycophenolate mofetil was initiated to prevent rejection, leading to gradual normalization of urine output and serum creatinine level. However, after stopping mycophenolate mofetil, the patient experienced recurrent increased blood pressure and decreased pulse oximetry, responding well to prednisone but recurring upon cessation, with gradually increased serum creatinine level. Renal pathology indicated that chronic TMA after allo-HSCT caused renal injury, primarily affecting the glomeruli. The renal function achieved long-term stability through low-dose prednisone and symptomatic treatment. By reviewing relevant literature, we discussed the clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, pathological features and treatment strategies of TMA with renal involvement complicated by allo-HSCT.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and analyze the factors associated with prognosis.Methods:A case series study was conducted by retrospectively collecting clinical data from patients aged over 60 years with newly diagnosed stage Ⅰ DLBCL across 20 medical centers in Jiangsu Province, China, between June 2010 and April 2023. The involved site, classification and treatment plan were summarized. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Statistical analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression model.Results:The study included 255 patients with a median age of 69 years, of whom 130 (51.0%) were male, 66 (25.9%) were aged ≥75 years and 26 (10.1%) had a high Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score of ≥2. Extranodal involvement was observed in 163 (63.9%) patients, with the stomach (37.4%, 61/163), intestine (19.0%, 31/163), testes (11.0%, 18/163), and breast (7.4%, 12/163) being the most frequently affected sites. The non-germinal center B-cell (non-GCB) subtype was prevalent in 63.7% of patients (142/223), with no significant difference between the nodal and extranodal groups ( P=0.681). Furthermore, 73.9% (184/249) and 11.7% (29/249) of patients received the R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) and R-miniCHOP regimen, respectively. The overall 3-year PFS rate was 81.5%, and the 3-year OS rate was 85.6%. Patients aged ≥75 years ( HR=2.910, 95% CI 1.565-5.408, P=0.001) and/or with a CCI score ≥2 ( HR=2.324, 95% CI 1.141-4.732, P=0.020) had a significantly poorer PFS. Incorporating age ≥75 years and CCI score ≥2 into the stage-modified international prognostic index (sm-IPI) can better stratify the prognosis of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL. The 3-year PFS rate was 48.7% in the high-risk group versus 85.7% in the low-risk group ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Our findings show that the elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL were predominantly characterized by extranodal involvement (particularly in the stomach and intestinal tract) and non-GCB subtype. Age ≥75 years and CCI ≥2 were identified as independent prognostic factors. The newly established sm-IPI-75-CCI incorporating these factors demonstrated superior prognostic discrimination compared to conventional risk assessment systems.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the incidence and influencing factors of emergence agitation (EA) after general anesthesia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods:Literature on EA after general anesthesia in adult patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery was electronically retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc. The search period was from the establishment of the database to June 1, 2024. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, conducted quality assessments, and used RevMan 5.3 to perform the Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 22 studies were included, involving 16 853 patients. Meta-analysis indicated that the incidence of EA after general anesthesia in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery was 18.00%. Advanced age, male, high anesthesia grade, obesity, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, preoperative anxiety, preoperative benzodiazepine use, high preoperative leukocyte, low preoperative serum albumin, prolonged operative time, intraoperative hypothermia, type of surgery, inhalation anesthesia, hypoxemia during emergence, pain during emergence, indwelling urinary catheter, and indwelling drainage tube were risk factors for EA ( P<0.05). The use of dexmedetomidine during surgery and analgesic pump after surgery were protective factors for EA ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The EA in patients undergoing general anesthesia for non-cardiac surgery is the result of multiple factors acting together. Clinical healthcare providers should enhance their ability to identify risk factors for EA and implement targeted interventions at an early stage to improve the quality of patient awakening and clinical outcomes.

Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)is a dis-order characterized by chronic intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation,usually manifested by ob-struction of the upper respiratory tract,resulting in sleep fragmentation,intermittent hypoxia,and hy-percapnia.OSA and significant comorbidities are as-sociated with perioperative complications.Opioids,as the most commonly used pain relievers,may fur-ther affect perioperative pain management in OSA and comorbidities.Studies have shown that OSA patients are more susceptible to the respiratory de-pressant effects of opioids.OSA also increases the risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression.There-fore,understanding the effects and mechanisms of opioids on OSA has important clinical significance for optimizing drug use,improving prognosis,and reducing respiratory adverse events.This article aims to review the effects of opioids on OSA and their relationship.

The core aberrant behaviors of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are primarily manifested as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which are closely associated with specific neuropathological features.Virtual reality (VR) technology, leveraging its immersive, interactive, and customizable properties, demonstrates potential in ameliorating the abnormal behavioral manifestations of individuals with ADHD. This article aims to synthesize existing evidence from neurobiological mechanism research and explore the therapeutic efficacy of VR interventions in improving abnormal behavioral presentations in ADHD patients. An evidence-integrated framework posits that: (1) VR enhances inhibitory control and working memory by promoting neural plasticity remodeling within key brain regions through highly contextualized simulation tasks, thereby optimizing functional connectivity.(2) VR reduces attentional lapses and impulsive behaviors by regulating the dynamic interplay efficiency among the default mode network, executive control network, and salience network.(3) VR elevates motivational levels and cognitive flexibility by dynamically modulating dopaminergic-noradrenergic system homeostasis, synergizing with brain-derived neurotrophic factor mediated synaptic plasticity. Delving deeper into these underlying mechanisms will facilitate the optimization of multi-target VR intervention design and provide novel insights for personalized behavioral therapy in ADHD.
