Teaching clinics represent a unique form of outpatient training of resident physicians and serve as a crucial instrument and core component of standardized training of general practice residents. This article reviews the common model and innovations of teaching clinics of general practice in China, and analyzes their reported effectiveness in enhancing the capabilities of consultation of resident physicians, the teaching capabilities of general practice trainers, as well as satisfaction levels of involved participants. It outlines the challenges encountered in implementing teaching clinics, including inadequate teaching facilities and equipment, incomplete incentive system for teaching, difficulties in patient recruitment, and weaknesses in the teaching capabilities of trainers. To address these challenges, this article proposes corresponding strategies based on realistic needs, including the improvement of facilities and equipment in teaching clinics, the establishment of incentive systems for teaching clinics, the expansion of patient recruitment channels for teaching clinics, and the enhancement of training for trainers' teaching capabilities. This is envisaged to provide both theoretical bases and practical guidance for the effective execution and standardized development of teaching clinics in general practice residency training bases.

Objective:To develop standards of hospice care specialized clinical training base for general practitioners.Methods:Twenty nine experts in fields of general practice and hospice care were invited to participate in two rounds of Delphi expert consultation from April 2022 to August 2022. Based the results of Delphi consultations the standards of clinical training base for general practitioner hospice care specialized training were developed through data analysis, synthesis and process.Results:The age of 29 consulting experts was (52.9±8.9) years old, and their working years were (17.0±7.2) years, 69.0% (20/29) of them had senior professional titles. In the two rounds of expert consultation, the expert positive coefficient was 100.0% (29/29) and 96.6% (28/29), the expert authority coefficient was 0.791 and 0.830, and the expert opinion coordination coefficient W of the importance of all indicators was 0.177 and 0.296, respectively ( χ2=133.54 , 223.46; P<0.01). Finally, a set of clinical base standards for general practitioner hospice care specialized training was established, which consisted of 4 first-level indicators and 23 second-level indicators. The 4 first-level indicators were basic conditions, teaching conditions, teacher conditions and teaching management, with the weight coefficients of 0.250, 0.250, 0.251 and 0.253, respectively. Conclusions:The clinical training base standards of hospice care specialized training for general practitioners have been established in this study, which will be helpful in selecting appropriate hospitals as the specialized clinical training base for general practitioners.

Objective:To develop standards of hospice care community training base for general practitioners.Methods:Twenty-nine experts in general practice and hospice care from different teaching hospitals and community health service centers were invited to participate in two rounds of Delphi consultation from April to August 2022. Based on the consultations a set of standards of hospice care community training base was developed.Results:The age of experts was 38-75 (52.9±8.9) years, and their working years were 5-32 (17.0±7.2)years. In the two rounds of expert consultation, the expert positive coefficient was 100.0% (29/29) and 96.6% (28/29), the expert authority coefficient was 0.791 and 0.830, and the expert opinion coordination coefficient W of the importance of all indicators was 0.137 and 0.289, respectively ( χ2=114.83, 226.94; P<0.05). A set of hospice care community training base standards for general practitioner was established, which consisted of 4 first-level indicators and 27 second-level indicators. The 4 first-level indicators were basic conditions, teaching conditions, teacher conditions and teaching management, with the weight coefficients of 0.247, 0.248, 0.250 and 0.252, respectively. Conclusion:The standards developed in this study may be used for constructing and evaluating hospice care community training base for general practitioners.

Objective:To develop the training syllabus of palliative care for general practitioners.Methods:Twenty-nine experts in fields of general practice and hospice care from different teaching hospitals and community health service centers were invited to participate in two rounds of Delphi consultation from April 2022 and August 2022. Based on results of Delphi consultation a preliminary training syllabus was established through data analysis, synthesis and process.Results:Of the 29 experts, 11 (37.9%) were male with age of (52.9±8.9) years and working experience of (17.0±7.2) years. The expert activity coefficient of the two rounds of consultation was 100.0% (29/29) and 96.6% (28/29), authority coefficient was 0.815 and 0.870, and opinion coordination coefficient was 0.359 and 0.515, respectively ( P<0.05).

Objective:To investigate the work stress and its influencing factors among hospice care physicians and nurses in medical institutions in Shanghai.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. The study was carried out between December 2021 and January 2022. By use of multistage random sampling, 256 hospice care physicians and nurses were selected from community healthcare centers, secondary and tertiary hospitals in Shanghai to attend a WeChat-based survey using a self-designed questionnaire. The chi-square test was used to compare the differences in prevalence of work stress and stressors among all subjects with different characteristics. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the major determinants associated with work stress. And the sources of work stress and the expepectd decompression countermeasures were investigated.Results:A total of 256 valid questionnaires were collected with a recovery rate of 100.0%. The median of work stress score was 7.5 (6.0, 9.0). Logistic regression analysis showed that those aged>40 years old and working for ≥5 years in hospice care service had higher level of work stress ( OR=3.78, 2.04; P=0.007, 0.039), and those with monthly income>10 000 RMB Yuan had lower level of work stress ( OR=0.34, P=0.005). The top three stressors were the death of patients (88.3%, 226/256), low income (78.1%, 200/256), difficulty in promotion (67.2%, 172/256). The top three way that doctors and nurses desired to reduce work stress were to increase income (88.3%, 226/256) and optimize performance appraisal target (78.1%, 200/256) and promotion mechanism (66.0%, 169/256). Conclusions:In general, the work stress among hospice care physicians and nurses is at a high level in Shanghai and the stressors are widely distributed. Age, monthly salary and years of working in hospice care unit are independent factors of work stress. Improving salary, optimizing performance appraisal target and promotion mechanism are the most desired strategies to reduce work stress among hospice care physicians and nurses.

Pain is one of the most frightening and unbearable symptoms in cancer patients, approximately 80% of patients with advanced cancer have pain, and a systematic review shows that the prevalence of breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) was 59.2%. Breakthrough pain often has a significant negative effect on quality of life of patients, which is related to a direct effect (suffering) and an indirect effect (interference with activities of daily living). Clinical management of BTcP is still not satisfactory despite the availability of various effective pain relief agents. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current situation of the management of BTcP at home and abroad, and to discuss the factors that hinder the management of BTcP.

Objective:To survey the status quo of hospice care service in community health service centers in Shanghai.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the situation of hospice care services from January 2021 to December 2021 in 16 community health service centers selected by stratified sampling from 16 districts in Shanghai.Results:Among 16 community health service centers, 13 provided inpatient hospice care services, 16 provide home hospice care and 14 provided outpatient hospice care services; and totally 1 935 (77.93%), 158 (6.36%) and 390 (15.71%) patients received palliative care, respectively. In centers providing inpatient hospice care service, the average bed number was 12 (10, 20); the annual number of patients was 58 (29, 137); the average length of hospital stay was (29.55±11.18) days; and the bed occupancy rate was (55.51±30.02)%, which in urban districts was significantly higher than that in rural districts ((74.76±19.33)% vs.(39.00±28.32)%; t=2.61, P=0.024). The number of patients receiving home hospice care in each center was 10 (3, 19) and the average duration of home service was (66.97±29.41) days. The proportion of physician fee of inpatient hospice care and that of home hospice care were (8.61±5.27)% and (6.25±3.11)%, respectively. While the proportion of medication expenses of inpatient hospice care and that of home hospice care were (35.60±16.13)% and(49.58±9.16)%, respectively. The outpatient hospice service were opened 2.0 (1.0, 4.0) days a week in 14 centers and 95 (58, 199) patients received services. Inpatient services were mainly provided for the patients with non-malignant chronic diseases (53.23%, 1 030/1 935), while home hospice care (89.87%, 142/158) and outpatient hospice care (83.85%, 327/390) mainly provided service for malignant patients. Conclusion:There is still room for improvement about the hospice care services delivered by community health service centers in Shanghai:discrepancy of utilization of hospice care services between urban districts and rural districts, low utilization of home and outpatient hospice care services, unreasonable cost composition in inpatient and home hospice care services.

Objective:To observe and analyze the risk factors of secondary intraocular hypertension in diabetic macular edema (DME) patients after treatment with dexamethasone vitreous cavity implant (DEX).Methods:A retrospective observational study. A total of 352 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) secondary macular edema diagnosed by ophthalmic examination and treated with DEX in Department of Ophthalmology of Harbin 242 Hospital from January 2016 to March 2022 were included in the study. Among them, 221 were males and 131 were females, with the mean age of (55.56±8.09) years. There were 194 patients with disseminated macular edema, 158 patients with cystoid macular edema. All patients underwent vitreous cavity implantation of DEX. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured once a month for 3 months after treatment, with IOP over than 25 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) or higher than 10 mm Hg from baseline as secondary intraocular hypertension. The relevant clinical data were collected, and the risk factors of secondary intraocular hypertension in DME patients after DEX treatment were analyzed by binary logistic regression.Results:Among 352 patients, 116 patients (32.95%, 116/352) were in the intraocular hypertension. Among them, 29 patients (25.00%, 29/116), 69 patients (59.48%, 69/116) and 18 patients (15.52%, 18/116) occurred intraocular hypertension at 1, 2 and 3 months after treatment, respectively. Compared with the normal IOP group, the IOP in the intraocular hypertension group increased significantly at 1, 2 and 3 months after treatment, with statistical significance ( t=10.771, 21.116, 13.761; P<0.001). Compared with normal IOP group, the patients in the intraocular hypertension group had younger age ( t=6.967), longer duration of diabetes ( t=5.950), longer axial length (AL) ( t=14.989), higher proportion of DME grade 3 ( Z=6.284), higher proportion of DEX implantation in pars plana ( χ2=23.275), and higher HbA1c level ( t=10.764), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that longer AL [odds ratio ( OR)=1.428, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.054-1.934], DEX implantation in pars plana ( OR=1.358, 95% CI 1.063-1.735), and higher HbA1c ( OR=1.702, 95% CI 1.225-2.366) were the risk factors for secondary intraocular hypertension in DME patients after DEX treatment ( P<0.05), older age was a protective factor ( OR=0.548, 95% CI 0.380-0.789, P<0.05). Conclusions:Long AL, DEX implantation in pars plana and high HbA1c are the risk factors for secondary intraocular hypertension after DEX treatment in DME patients, older age is a protective factor.

Objective    To evaluate the clinical effects of segmentectomy versus lobectomy under single utility port video-assisted thoracic surgery on inflammatory factors and immune cells in peripheral blood of non-small cell lung cancer patients, and to analyze the effect of changes of postoperative inflammatory factors and immune cells on the prognosis of the patients. Methods    The clinical data of 256 patients who underwent segmentectomy or lobectomy under single utility port video-assisted thoracic surgery for non-small cell lung cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from January 2016 to October 2020 were retrospectively collected. According to the operation method, they were divided into a segmentectomy group (126 patients with 79 males and 47 females at an age of 63.4±6.2 years) and a lobectomy group (130 patients with 91 males and 39 females at an age of 62.9±5.6 years). The change of inflammatory factors (C reactive protein, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-α) and immune cells (CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells and natural killer cells) were recorded and analyzed before operation (T0) and 1 day (T1), 3 days (T2), 7 days (T3), 1 month (T4) after the operation between the two groups. According to postoperative recurrence situations, they were divided into a recurrence group and a non-recurrence group, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the change of postoperative inflammatory factors, immune cells, and the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Results    (1) There was no statistical difference in sex ratio, underlying diseases, body mass index, levels of preoperative inflammatory factors or immune cells between the two groups (all P>0.05). (2) The changes of postoperative inflammatory factors in the segmentectomy group were significantly less than those in the lobectomy group at T1-T3 (all P<0.05), and the changes of postoperative immune cells in the segmentectomy group were significantly less than those in the lobectomy group at T1-T4 (all P<0.05). (3) The changes of postoperative inflammatory factors and immune cells on postoperative day 3 in the recurrence group were significantly more than those in the non-recurrence group (all P<0.05). (4) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the changes of postoperative inflammatory factors and immune cells on postoperative day 3 may be the risk factors for postoperative recurrence and metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (all P<0.05). Conclusion    Single utility port video-assisted thoracic surgery segmentectomy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer can reduce the inflammatory response and protect body's immune function, and the change of postoperative inflammatory factors and immune cells in postoperative day 3 may be the risk factors for postoperative recurrence and metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
