The study utilized a cross-sectional design. Data was retrieved from the American Academy of Family Physicians fellowship training directory, including program names, areas of focus, program length, and program descriptions. The collected data was categorized and analyzed based on areas of focus and training duration. The program descriptions were also analyzed qualitatively using Nvivo12 software. A total of 532 programs were included in the study:295 programs (55.5%) were ACGME-certified, while 237 programs (44.5%) were not. The majority of programs, 468 (87.9%), were clinically oriented, while 64 programs (12.1%) were non-clinical. Among ACGME-certified programs, the largest number of programs were in sports medicine (121 programs), followed by geriatrics (52 programs). Among non-certified programs, the largest number of programs was in obstetrics (66 programs), accounting for 27.8% of all non-certified programs. Qualitative research found that fellowship programs were diverse, reflecting the societal demands of healthcare service. Moreover, a significant emphasis was placed on empowering teaching and research abilities.The family medicine fellowship programs in the United States cover a wide range of disciplines and meet both the professional interests of doctors and the needs of patients. As China continues to implement its tiered medical system, it can learn from the experience of the United States and develop general practice subspecialty training programs, thereby improving the service capacity of general practitioners and improve the quality of healthcare.

To compare the clinical features and prognosis in patients with cytomegalovirus pneumonia from other pneumonia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). A total of 118 patients with pulmonary complications after allo-HSCT from March 2016 to June 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, who were divided into cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia group ( n=34) and the non-CMV pneumonia group ( n=84). Compared with non-CMV pneumonia group, CMV pneumonia group presented earlier median onset time (1.8 vs.6.0 months, P=0.015) after allo-HSCT, more dyspnea (41.2% vs. 19.0%, P=0.012), hypoxemia (38.2% vs. 13.1%, P=0.006), and interstitial pneumonia (82.4% vs. 23.8%, P<0.01).The incidence of CMV-viremia and serum viral load in CMV pneumonia group were significantly higher than those in non-CMV pneumonia group. Consistently, and the development of mixed infection in CMV pneumonia group was higher than that of non-CMV pneumonia group (41.2% vs. 16.7%, P=0.013). The median follow-up time was 12.8 (0.4-46.5) months. The 1-year attributable mortality in CMV pneumonia group was significantly higher than that in non-CMV pneumonia group (26.5% vs. 10.7%, P=0.004), while the 1-year overall survival rate was significantly lower than that in non-CMV pneumonia group (61.8% vs. 85.7%, P=0.001). Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC)( P=0.036), high flow ventilation ( P=0.033) and negative CMV-viremia ( P=0.009) were unfavorable prognostic factors of patients with CMV pneumonia. Compared with those with non-CMV pneumonia, patients with CMV pneumonia had more characteristic clinical manifestations and imaging features. However, due to the higher incidence of mixed infections, the causes of pneumonia need to be identified by bronchoscopic alveolar lavage. In conclusion, patients with CMV pneumonia have worse clinical outcome. RIC, high flow ventilation and negative CMV-viremia are adverse prognostic factors for CMV pneumonia.

OBJECTIVE：To establish a method for concentration determination of anlotinib in human plasma and apply it in the clinic. METHODS ：The plasma samples were pretreated by salting-out assisted with liquid-liquid extraction with ammonium acetate as salting out assistant and acetonitrile as solvent. Using voriconazole as internal standard ，LC-MS/MS method was adopted. The separation was performed on Waters X Bridge C 18 column with mobile phase consisting of 0.2％ formic acid solution- acetonitrile（gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 1 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 40 ℃，and sample size was 10 μL. The split ratio was 3∶7. The electrospray ion source and multiple reaction monitoring mode were used for the analysis. The ion pair of anlotinib and internal standard under positive ion mode were m/z 408.3→339.3 and m/z 350.2→281.3，respectively. RESULTS ： Anlotinib showed a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 0.2-200 ng/mL（R2＞0.996 7）. The lowest limit of quantitation was 0.2 ng/mL. Intra-day and inter-day RSDs were no more than 12％ （n＝6 or n＝3）. Accuracies were 90.92％-108.00％（n＝6 or n＝3）. The average extraction recoveries were 87.51％-100.00％（RSD＜8％，n＝6）. The average matrix effects were 96.66％-99.93％（RSD＜5％，n＝6）. The plasma concentration of 3 patients with NSCLC treated with anlotinib was 8.74-65.60 ng/mL. CONCLUSIONS ：The method is simple ，accurate and specific ，and is suitable for the plasma concentration monitoring of anlotinib in NSCLC patients.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of cytomegalovirus pneumonia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods:We reviewed the clinical features and laboratory data of cytomegalovirus pneumonia patients after allogeneic peripheral blood HSCT from March 1, 2016 to June 30, 2019 at the hematology department of the Shanghai general hospital and analyze the prognostic factors.Results:Of the 411 allo-HSCT patients, 34(8.3%)developed CMV pneumonia after transplantation, including 18 men and 16 women, with a median age of 32(8-62)y. Total 14 patients had acute myeloid leukemia, 10 had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 5 had myelodysplastic syndrome, 3 had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and 2 had aplastic anemia. The median onset time for CMV pneumonia was 53(36-506)d after transplantation. The main symptoms were cough(26 cases, 76.5%), fever(23 cases, 67.6%), and shortness of breath(14 cases, 41.2%). Only 17.6%(6/34)patients had expectoration, and 2 cases(5.9%)had no obvious symptoms in the early stage, but were diagnosed on routine chest CT examination. Twenty-eight(82.4%)patients showed signs of typical interstitial pneumonia, such as lobular central nodule and diffuse ground glass opacity; 6(17.6%)patients showed atypical imaging changes of patch, nodule, and consolidation. Further, 26 patients(76.5%)were positive for CMV-DNA, and the copy number was lower than that of BALF[1.70×10 7(5.44×10 5-4.45×10 9)copies/L vs 1.45×10 8(1.10×10 7-1.10×10 11)copies/L, P=0.004]. Thirteen(38.24%)patients with CMV pneumonia had mixed infection with other lower respiratory tract pathogens(10 strains of fungi, 6 strains of bacteria, and 1 of adenoviruses). The median follow-up duration was 12.8(0.4-46.5)months. The OS rate was 58.82%. Age ≥ 40 y and high flow ventilation were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in CMV pneumonia patients( P=0.049, P=0.009). Conclusion:Bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage fluid detection helps in improving the accuracy of the etiological diagnosis of CMV pneumonia after allo-HSCT. Age ≥ 40 y and high flow ventilation were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with CMV pneumonia.

Objective: To explore the role of D-dimer level in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive disease (AECOPD) in predicting the re-admission of patients. Methods: One hundred and twenty chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in the Shanghai General Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University form January 2016 to December 2018 were divided into AECOPD group (62 cases) and stable COPD group (58 cases).The level of serum D-dimer was analyzed and Pearson correlation analysis was performed with the patient′s blood gas analysis and COPD assessment test (CAT) score. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum D-dimer level for readmission. Results: Serum D-dimer level was significantly higher in AECOPD group than that in stable group: (1.24 ± 0.56) mg/L vs. (0.39 ± 0.22) mg/L, and there was statistical difference (P<0.01). Serum D-dimer level was negatively correlated with PaO₂ in COPD patients (r = 0.712, P = 0.000), but positively correlated with PaCO₂ (r = 0.683, P = 0.000) and CAT score (r = 0.652, P = 0.000). The area under the ROC curve of D-dimer level to re-admission of COPD patients within one year was 0.848. The cutoff value was 1.015 mg/L. Conclusions The level of D-dimer in COPD patients is of great value in predicting the re-admission of patients, which can be used as an independent indicator of disease progression.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) for pulmonary complications in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and its safety. Methods: Patients with pulmonary complications after allo-HSCT underwent BAL. Microbiological smears, culture, PCR of CMV-DNA, EBV-DNA and TB-DNA, macro genomes new generation sequencing (mNGS) techniques were performed to detect pathogens in BAL fluid (BALF) . Results: A total of 73 allo-HSCT patients with 86 times of pulmonary complications enrolled this prospective study. They underwent 132 times of BAL procedures. The clinical diagnoses of 88.4% cases were made based on BALF analysis. Of them, 67 cases (77.9%) had infectious pulmonary complications, including 29 cases (33.7%) of fungal infection, 18 cases (20.9%) of mixed infection, 11 cases (12.8%) of viral infection and 9 cases (10.5%) of bacterial infection. The other 9 cases (10.5%) of non-infectious pulmonary complications included 8 cases (9.3%) of idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) and 1 case (1.2%) of pulmonary infiltration of lymphoma. The diagnoses of the remaining 10 cases (11.6%) were not determined. The platelet counts of 33 patients were less than 50×10⁹/L before BAL. None of them developed severe bleeding complications during or after BAL. Transient fever occurred in 10 patients after BAL. Blood cultures showed staphylococcal bacteremia in them and anti-infection therapies were effective. No life-threatening complications occurred in all of the patients during or after BAL. Conclusion BALF analysis was informative for the diagnosis of pulmonary complication and safe for patients with pulmonary complications after allo-HSCT.

Objective To analyze the clinical diagnosis and treatment data of 20 children with hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) in order to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment of HR.Methods The retrospective analysis of clinical data of 20 cases with HR who were hospitalized at Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from May,2010 to April,2016 was performed to summarize the clinical characteristics.All patients were analyzed for the phosphate regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidase on the X chromosome(PHEX) gene by direct sequencing.If no mutations were detected,multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification analysis was performed.Results All of the 20 cases with HR showed different degrees of growth retardation and typical X-ray rickets.After treatment,the clinical features were improved.Height standard deviation score (HSDS) was improved significantly with longer treatment time,and the difference was statistically significant(P =0.027).There was a correlation between the blood phosphorus fluctuation and secondary hyperparathyroidism(P ＜ 0.05).Nineteen cases had PHEX gene mutations.Truncating mutations was the most frequent mutation type,and 4 new mutations were found.Conclusions Clinical characteristics,laboratory test results and X-ray examination are important clinical index for the diagnosis of HR,and PHEX gene test can be used as an important auxiliary diagnostic tool.Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve the clinical manifestations of the patients.

Recently,a fast developing new technology for gene modification named as CRISPR-Cas9 which based on CRISPR-Cas9 system composed of clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeat(CRISPR) and Cas9 nuclease(CRISPR associated system 9,Cas9)has been developed. CRISPR-Cas9 system is a kind of immune mechanism widely found in bacteria and archaea. This mechanism can help bacteria and archaea against exogenous DNA by the approach of specifically breaking DNA. Later,this mechanism was found to be useful for gene modification and gene deletion. At present,this technology has been applied to gene modification and therapy. Many studies have shown that the technology,compared with other genetic technology,has higher efficiency and accuracy,and it has promoted genetic engineering progress. Summarized here is the principle and application advance of CRISPR-Cas9.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics and laboratory test results of children with Henoch - Schonlein purpura(HSP),and further to analyze the risk factors for HSP combined with cardiac damage. Methods The clinical and laboratory tests findings from 707 children diagnosed as HSP at Nanjing Children's Hospi-tal were retrospectively analyzed,who were recruited from November 2011 to December 2012. The possible risk factors for HSP with cardiac damage in children were recorded,including gender,age,predisposing causes,gastrointestinal symptoms,joint pain,kidney disorders,serum electrolytes,anti - streptolysin 〝O〝 test,erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and complement level were summarized. Chi - square test and Logistic regression were performed to analyze the risk fac-tors of cardiac damage in children with HSP. Results Among 707 cases,192(27. 2% )patients were combined with car-diac damage,115 male and 77 female,and the proportion of men to women was 1. 00: 0. 67;age ranged from 11 months to 15 years and 4 months(6 years and 5 months for median age),6 patients ﹤ 3 years old occupying 3. 1% ,103 patients≥3 - 7 years old occupying 53. 7% ,82 patients≥7 - 14 years old occupying 42. 7% ,1 patient≥14 years old occupying 0. 5% ,and the age of onset in preschool and school age. Electrocardiogram(ECG)abnormalities were found in 190 patients,the main manifestations including long Q - T interval,ST - T segment falling down and sinus bradycar-dia,and one or more items of abnormal myocardial enzymes existed in 24 cases;echocardiography was performed in 35 cases of children,but no abnormality was detected,no obvious symptoms such as flustered or chest tightness or precor-dial distress. Statistical analysis showed that gender,predisposing causes,mixed HSP,complement level were related to the incidence of cardiac damage in children with HSP(P ﹤ 0. 05). Furthermore binary Logistic regression identified that in male patients,the ratio of X1 vs OR ratio was 0. 654(95% CI 0. 462 - 0. 926,P ﹤ 0. 05),for predisposing causes,the ratio of X2 vs OR ratio was 2. 63(95% CI 1. 838 - 3. 765,P ﹤ 0. 001),for mixed HSP,the ratio of X3 vs OR ratio was 2. 452(95% CI 1. 301 - 4. 621,P ﹤ 0. 01),which were independent factors for cardiac damage in chil-dren with HSP. Conclusions ECG and/ or myocardial enzyme spectrum abnormalities are the main clinical ma-nifestations of cardiac damage in children with HSP. Male patients,predisposing causes of the respiratory tract infec-tion,mixed HSP and hypocomplementemia were high risk factors in the development of cardiac damage,which require special consideration clinically,and earlier ECG and myocardial enzymes examination,early diagnosis and treatment are necessary to avoid the occurrence of severe cases.
