Objective:To investigate the status quo of psychological contracts and influencing factors among members of the "1+N" family doctor teams in Shenzhen and to explore the impact of psychological contracts on job burnout.Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 30 to October 31, 2022 among 361 members of 92 family doctor teams from 92 community health service centers which provided family doctor team service in Shenzhen city. A self-designed general information questionnaire, an employee psychological contract questionnaire (including organizational responsibility and personal responsibility dimensions), and a job burnout scale (including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment dimensions) were used in the study. T-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of psychological contracts and job burnout.Results:Among 361 respondents, there were 299 females (82.8%) and 62 males (17.2%), and a higher proportion of general practitioners (37.5%, 129/361) and nurses (41.8%, 151/361). The total score of psychological contracts among the 361 respondents was (141.6±19.5), with organizational responsibility scoring (70.6±11.2) and personal responsibility scoring (71.0±9.3). On the job burnout scale, emotional exhaustion scored (17.89±6.82), depersonalization scored (6.51±2.54), and personal accomplishment scored (30.95±5.70). General practitioners scored lower in organizational responsibility and personal responsibility compared to other members ( F=7.341,3.119, all P<0.05), and higher in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization ( F=7.637, 2.415, all P<0.05). Members with≤5 years of work experience scored lower in personal responsibility and personal accomplishment ( F=3.656, 4.205, all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that scores of organizational responsibility and personal responsibility were negatively correlated with levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization ( r=-0.618, -0.526, all P<0.01), ( r=-0.404, -0.393, all P<0.01), and positively correlated with personal accomplishment ( r=0.500, 0.558, all P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that organizational responsibility negatively affected emotional exhaustion and depersonalization ( β=-0.554, -0.274, all P<0.01), and positively affected personal accomplishment ( β=0.172, P<0.05). Personal responsibility positively affected personal accomplishment ( β=0.404, P<0.01). Conclusions:The study demonstrates that general practitioners in family doctor teams in Shenzhen city have lower psychological contract levels and are more prone to emotional exhaustion and depersonalization; members with≤5 years of work experience have lower personal responsibility and accomplishment. The results indicate that enhancing organizational responsibility can reduce job burnout of members in family doctor teams.

Objective:To study the early predictors of refractory septic shock (RSS) in neonates.Methods:From July 2020 to December 2021, clinical data of neonates with septic shock admitted to the Neonatal Department of our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. According to the maximum septic shock score (SSS) during clinical course, the neonates were assigned into RSS group and non-RSS group. Perinatal data, laboratory results and hemodynamic parameters at diagnosis were compared between the two groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors of RSS and septic shock-related death. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the early predictors of poor prognosis.Results:A total of 130 neonates were enrolled, including 54 in RSS group and 76 in non-RSS group. Compared with the non-RSS group, the RSS group had significantly lower pH, base excess (BE), stroke volume index (SVI), cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI).Meanwhile, the RSS group had significantly higher mean arterial pressure (MAP) to CI ratio (MAP/CI) and SSS [including bedside SSS (bSSS), computed SSS (cSSS) and modified version of cSSS (mcSSS)] (all P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that increased MAP/CI was an independent predictor of RSS. The cut-off value of MAP/CI was 11.6 [sensitivity 62%, specificity 87%, positive predictive value (PPV) 79% and negative predictive value (NPV) 77%], with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.734. Increased mcSSS was an independent predictor of septic shock-related death. The cut-off value of mcSSS was 5.8 (sensitivity 83%, specificity 72%, PPV 21% and NPV 97%), with an AUC of 0.845. Conclusions:Increased MAP/CI (≥11.6) and mcSSS (≥5.8) may be early predictors of RSS and septic shock-related death in neonates.

OBJECTIVE: The mode of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission via injection drug use (IDU) still exists, and the recent shift in IDU-related transmission of HIV infection is largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatiotemporal sources and dynamics of HIV-1 transmission through IDU in Guangxi. METHODS: We performed a molecular epidemiological investigation of infections across Guangxi from 2009 to 2019. Phylogenetic and Bayesian time-geographic analyses of HIV-1 sequences were performed to confirm the characteristics of transmission between IDUs in combination with epidemiological data. RESULTS: Among the 535 subjects, CRF08_BC (57.4%), CRF01_AE (28.4%), and CRF07_BC (10.7%) were the top 3 HIV strains; 72.6% of infections were linked to other provinces in the transmission network; 93.6% of sequence-transmitted strains were locally endemic, with the rest coming from other provinces, predominantly Guangdong and Yunnan; 92.1% of the HIV transmission among people who inject drugs tended to be transmitted between HIV-positive IDUs. CONCLUSION HIV recombinants were high diversity, and circulating local strains were the transmission sources among IDUs in Guangxi. However, there were still cases of IDUs linked to other provinces. Coverage of traditional prevention strategies should be expanded, and inter-provincial collaboration between Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guangdong provinces should be strengthened.

Objective:To study the predictive value of vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS), fluid overload (FO) and lactate level for the outcome of preterm infants with refractory septic shock.Methods:Preterm infants diagnosed with refractory septic shock and required hydrocortisone treatment in our Department from January 2016 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Preterm infants were assigned into three gestational age groups (<28 weeks, 28-31 weeks, 32-36 weeks). According to the outcome of the disease, the children were further divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group. The relationship between the maximum VIS, FO and the mean lactic acid before hydrocortisone and the outcome of refractory septic shock was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the cut-off point of ROC curve was calculated to obtain the predictive efficacy of the three indicators for the outcome of refractory septic shock in preterm infants.Results:A total of 50 preterm infants with refractory septic shock and received hydrocortisone treatment were enrolled, including 20 in the good prognosis group and 30 in the poor prognosis group. There were no significant differences in the maximum VIS, FO and mean lactic acid before hydrocortisone treatment between the two groups of gestational age of <32 weeks ( P> 0.05). The maximum VIS, FO and mean lactic acid of gestational age of 32-36 weeks in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group, VIS: 56.1±15.7 vs. 37.1±12.9, FO (%): 108.2 (78.6,137.7) vs. 55.5 (10.3, 100.7), and mean lactic acid (mmol/L): 8.3 (4.6, 12.0) vs. 4.8 (-0.8, 10.5), all P<0.05. The area under the ROC curve of the mean lactic acid was the largest, the cut-off value was 4.1 mmol/L, and the Youden index was 1.732. Conclusions:VIS, FO and lactate level are difficult to be used for determining the outcome of refractory septic shock in preterm infants of <32 weeks. While the mean lactic acid has the best predictive performance in preterm infants of 32-36 weeks.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, characteristics under white-light endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography, and treatment strategies of gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) accompanied with or without neoplastic lesions.Methods:Clinical data of 35 patients, who were pathologically diagnosed as having GCP after endoscopic or surgical resection in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2015 to February 2021, were retrospectively collected, including 27 patients with neoplastic lesions. The demographic information, clinical manifestations, endoscopic features, treatment methods, and pathological results of GCP were summarized.Results:Thirty-five patients with GCP were 68.26±8.08 years old, and mostly male (80.00%, 28/35). The most common symptom was upper abdominal pain, accounting for 31.43% (11/35), and 25.71% (9/35) had no symptoms. Other symptoms included acid reflux, heartburn, abdominal distension, anemia, and choking sensation after eating. The most common site of GCP was cardia (51.43%, 18/35), and the main endoscopic manifestations of GCP were flat mucosal lesions (68.57%, 24/35), mainly 0-Ⅱa and 0-Ⅱa+Ⅱc type lesions, accounting for 66.67% (16/24). The second common endoscopic manifestation was polypoid eminence (20.00%, 7/35). Endoscopic ultrasonography was performed in 15 patients, with main manifestations of uniform hypoechoic with or without cystic echo (73.33%, 11/15). Among the GCP cases, 33 patients received endoscopic resection, and 2 received surgical treatment. The treatment processes were all successfully completed, and en-bloc resection was accomplished for all lesions receiving endoscopy, with the mean endoscopic operation time of 86.13 min. One patient suffered postoperative delayed bleeding after ESD which was stopped by endoscopic hemostasis. Final pathological results showed that the proportion of GCP complicated with neoplastic lesions was 77.14% (27/35), 68.57% (24/35) with early gastric cancer or precursor. Twenty-three cases achieved R0 resection. One case showed positive basal resection margin and vascular invasion, and recurrence happened in situ at the 5th month of follow-up, surgical resection was then performed. The endoscopic complete resection rate was 95.83% (23/24).Conclusion:GCP usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly male, often located in cardia, manifested mainly as flat mucosal lesions and polypoid changes. Endoscopic ultrasonography shows a high diagnostic value for GCP, and endoscopic treatment is safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for GCP.

Objective:To explore the effect of quality improvement of hemodynamic monitoring on fluid overload (FO) and outcome in newborns with septic shock.Methods:Non-invasive cardiac output monitoring and functional cardiac ultrasound quality improvement program was started during January 2020 in our hospital. Neonates with septic shock admitted before and after the program were retrospectively analyzed. From January 2018 to December 2019 was pre-improvement period when fluid resuscitation was routinely performed and vasoactive drugs was selected empirically. From January 2020 to December 2021 was post-improvement period when fluid resuscitation and/or use and adjustment of vasoactive drugs were guided by hemodynamic parameters. The 24 h, 48 h, 72 h FO, duration of invasive respiratory support, vasoactive-inotropic score, septic shock score, incidences of complications and all-cause mortality were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 284 eligible cases were enrolled, including 136 cases in pre-improvement group and 148 cases in post-improvement group. Post-improvement group had significantly lower gestational age (GA), birth weight (BW) and body weight at disease onset than pre-improvement group ( P<0.05). Incidences of 48 h and 72 h FO, fluid resuscitation volume within 72 h, pulmonary hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) were significantly lower in the post-improvement group ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in 24 h FO, other complications and all-cause mortality between the two groups ( P>0.05). No significant differences existed in GA and BW for neonates with pulmonary hemorrhage and PVL between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Quality improvement of hemodynamic monitoring can effectively improve FO and reduce the incidences of pulmonary hemorrhage and PVL.

Objective:To study the efficacy of norepinephrine in the treatment of neonates with septic shock.Methods:A prospective observation study of neonates with septic shock, who received norepinephrine in the neonatal intensive care unit of Guangdong Women and Children's Hospital from January 2019 to November 2020. All infants had functional echocardiography for hemodynamic monitoring before norepinephrine treatment and 1 hour thereafter blood pressure, heart rate, arterial blood gas analyses were recorded at the same time. The intravenous fluid volume and urine volume from the diagnosis of shock to the commencement of norepinephrine therapy (T0) and 24 hours thereafter (T1) were recorded, and the hemodynamic parameters, vasoactive drugs and clinical outcomes were analyzed.Results:A total of 66 newborns were enrolled, including 27 cases of mild shock, 33 cases of moderate shock and 6 cases of severe shock. 48 were male infants, 38 cases were premature infants. The gestational age was (35.2±4.1) weeks and the birth weight was (2 476±909) g. The median time of shock diagnosis was 2 days after birth, and the median shock score was 4 points. The median time from the diagnosis of shock to the start of norepinephrine treatment was 7.5 hours. Compared with that before norepinephrine treatment, stroke volume, stroke volume index, cardiac output, cardiac index, left ventricular ejection fraction, shortening fraction, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, blood pH and BE at 1 hour after treatment were increased, heart rate and blood lactic acid were decreased, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Urine volume was increased 24 hours after treatment ( P<0.05), and fluid overload decreased ( P<0.05). The maximum dopamine dose, the down-regulation time and duration of vasoactive drugs were positively correlated with the time to start norepinephrine therapy ( r=0.325、 r=0.383、 r=0.319, P<0.05). Among the 66 infants, 58 infants with shock had been corrected and 14 infants died within 28 days. Conclusions:Norepinephrine is effective and feasible in the treatment of neonatal septic shock and can significantly improve hemodynamic parameters.

Objective:To study the predictive value of vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS), shock score and lactate level for the outcome of term infants with septic shock.Methods:From January 2019 to October 2020, clinical data of term infants with septic shock admitted to our department were reviewed. According to their clinical outcome, the infants were assigned into the survival group and the deceased group and the differences of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to determine the risk factors of mortality in term infants with septic shock. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to compare the predictive efficacy of VIS, shock score and lactate level for the outcome of septic shock.Results:Significant differences existed between the survival group and the deceased group in the following: maximum VIS, maximum shock score, maximum lactate level, the mean value of VIS during the second 24 h, the mean value of lactate during the first and second 24 h ( P < 0.05). Meanwhile, maximum VIS ( OR = 1.038, 95% CI 1.014~1.063), maximum shock score ( OR = 2.372, 95% CI 1.126~4.999) and the mean value of lactate during the first 24h ( OR = 2.983, 95% CI 1.132~7.862) were correlated with mortality in the infants ( P < 0.05). The area under the curve of maximum VIS was the most prominent, with 58.5 as cut-off. Conclusions:Among the three indicators, VIS has the best predictive value for mortality outcome in term infants with septic shock, followed by shock score and lactate level.

Objective:To study the threshold of fluid overload (FO) and its risk factors in neonatal septic shock.Methods:From January 2019 to November 2020, clinical data of infants with septic shock hospitalized in the neonatal department of our hospital were reviewed. With poor prognosis as the outcome, ROC curve was drawn based on 24 h (from the beginning of septic shock), 48 h and 72 h FO value. FO cutoff value was determined as area under curve (AUC) reached maximum. Risk factors of FO were analyzed between FO

OBJECTIVES: To study the value of functional echocardiographic parameters in predicting refractory septic shock in neonates. METHODS: A total of 72 neonates with septic shock were enrolled. According to the highest value of septic shock score, they were divided into two groups: refractory (n=30) and non-refractory (n=42). The two groups were compared in terms of clinical data, laboratory findings, and functional echocardiographic parameters. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the performance of functional echocardiographic parameters in predicting refractory septic shock. RESULTS: Compared with the non-refractory group, the refractory group had significantly lower cardiac output and cardiac index (CI) and a significantly higher mean arterial pressure (MAP)/CI ratio (P<0.05). CI had a cut-off value of 2.6 L/(min·m²), a sensitivity of 79%, a specificity of 83%, and an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.841 in predicting septic shock-related death (P<0.05), and MAP/CI ratio had a cut-off value of 11.4, a sensitivity of 83%, a specificity of 73%, and an AUC of 0.769 (P<0.05). CI had a cut-off value of 2.9 L/(min·m²), a sensitivity of 69%, a specificity of 69%, and an AUC of 0.717 in predicting all-cause death within 28 days (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS CI and MAP/CI ratio can be useful for early prediction of septic shock-related death in neonates.
