OBJECTIVE To systematically investigate the current status and effectiveness of the standardized on-the-job training program for community clinical pharmacists in Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for optimizing the training scheme. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the data from trainees and mentor pharmacists who participated in the program between 2016 and 2024. The survey examined their basic information, evaluations of the training scheme, satisfaction with training outcomes, and suggestions for improvement. Statistical analyses were also conducted. RESULTS A total of 420 valid responses were collected, including 340 from trainees and 80 from mentor pharmacists. Before training, only 30.29% of trainees were engaged in clinical pharmacy-related work, whereas this proportion increased to 73.24% after training. Most mentor pharmacists had extensive experience in clinical pharmacy (76.25% with ≥5 years of experience) and mentoring (78.75% with ≥3 teaching sessions). Totally 65.59% of trainees and 55.00% of mentor pharmacists believed that blended training yielded the best learning outcomes. Over 80.00% of both trainees and mentor pharmacists considered the overall training duration, theoretical study time, and practical training time to be reasonable. More than 95.00% of trainees and mentor pharmacists agreed that the homework and assessment schemes were appropriate. Trainees rated the relevance of training content to their actual work highly (with an average relevance score >4.5), though they perceived the chronic disease medication therapy management module as significantly more challenging than the prescription review and evaluation module and the home-based pharmaceutical care module. The average satisfaction score of trainees and mentor pharmacists with the training effectiveness of each project was above 4 points, indicating a high overall satisfaction. Inadequate provision of teaching resources was unanimously recognized by trainees and mentor pharmacists as the key area requiring improvement. CONCLUSIONS The standardized on-the-job training program for community clinical pharmacists in Shanghai has contributed to improving pharmaceutical services in community healthcare settings. However, ongoing improvements must concentrate on content design, resource development, and faculty cultivation.

Methods:A questionnaire survey on dental service in Shanghai community health service centers were conducted from March 10 to 17, 2023. The availability of dental services and the differences among health service centers in central urban area, urban area and suburban area were analyzed.Results:A total of 249 community health service center participated in the survey and 249 effective questionnaires were returned with a response rate of 100.0%. Among 249 centers, 220 (88.4%) had set up dental clinics. The proportion of community health service centers with dental clinics in the urban areas, central urban areas and suburban areas is 95.0% (76/80), 98.2% (107/109) and 61.7% (37/60), respectively ( H=35.44, P<0.05). Among the 220 centers with dental clinics, the floor space of dental clinic was 40.00 (28.50, 73.24), 31.70 (24.40, 49.35) and 20.00 (16.75, 34.00) square meters in suburban areas, central urban areas, and suburban areas, respectively. There were significant differences in the inspection equipment including comprehensive dental chairs, X-ray panoramic machine, X-ray dental machine, dental implants, ultrasonic dental cleaning machine, portable dental chairs, light curing lamps, and enzyme cleaning machine among community health service centers in three types of city areas ( H=35.44, 8.32, 25.53, 7.46 20.95, 43.00, 23.22, 13.35, all P<0.05). Among 220 centers with dental services, all provided dental caries filling, 175 (79.55%) provided root canal treatment, 161 (73.18%) provided extraction of various impacted teeth, 104 (47.27%) provided minor maxillofacial surgery, 132 (60.00%) provided fixed denture restoration, and 139 (63.18%) provided removable local denture restoration. Only a few centers provided orthodontics and dental implant services, including 20 provided removable orthodontics (9.09%), 11 provided fixed orthodontics (5.00%), and 9 provided dental implants (4.09%). There were significant differences in provision of services for root canal treatment, gingival scaling, subgingival scraping, various types of impacted tooth extraction, maxillofacial surgery minor surgery, fixed denture restoration, removable local denture restoration, mobile correction, and oral implant restoration among centers in three types of city areas ( H=29.19, 51.73, 25.32, 31.93, 8.23, 25.98, 28.26, 10.46, 7.84, all P<0.05). There were total 511 dentists in 220 community health service centers, including 24(4.70%) with master degree, 53(10.37%) with associate senior professional titles. There were significant differences in number of dentists, those with undergraduate and below education, those with master degree, those with intermediate and below professional titles among centers in three types of city areas ( H=66.35, 50.33, 11.19, 42.17, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Community health service centers in Shanghai generally have basic capacity of dental service, but there are significant differences among the central urban areas, suburban areas, and suburban areas, indicating that it need to be further strengthened in terms of facilities, equipment, and talent team development in different city areas accordingly.

Objective To assess the retention and excretion fractions for uranium intake via wounds in the organs of adult reference computational phantom, and to improve the evaluation of health risks associated with radioactive isotopes intake via wounds. Methods A software for evaluation of the internal radiation dose was developed by combining the wound model in International Commission on Radiological Protection Report 156 and the systemic models in the International Commission on Radiological Protection Report 130 and the subsequent Occupational Intakes of Radionuclides series reports. This study was conducted to calculate the uranium retention fractions in adult reference individuals following ingestion through wounds of seven categories of uranium: weakly retained, moderately retained, strongly retained, very strongly retained, colloids, particles, and fragments. We assessed the retention fractions in the wound sites, bones, and liver, as well as the excretion fractions in urine and feces, and compared these results with authoritative results. Results The retention and excretion fractions of 238U and 235U in different forms of intake via wounds showed consistent variations. The retention fractions of weak and moderate uranium in wounds could be ignored after 1 000 d. The retention fractions of strong, avid, and colloid uranium were 10−4 to 10−5 after 10 000 d. A significant portion of the uranium present in the forms of particles and fragments exhibited long-term retention in wounds. The bone retention fractions were 1 to 2 orders of magnitude higher than the liver retention fractions. Following the intake of soluble and insoluble uranium, the retention fractions in these two organs decreased and increased, respectively, compared with those observed on the first day. The urinary excretion fractions were approximately 2 orders of magnitude higher than the fecal excretion fractions. Following the intake of soluble and particulate uranium, the excretion fractions decreased. At 1 000 d after the intake of uranium in the form of fragments, the urinary and fecal excretion fractions were 10−6 and 10−8, respectively. Conclusion The calculation results validated the accuracy of the established models, providing data support for the assessment of internal exposure doses in individuals following uranium wound contamination incidents.
