Objective:To analyze the research hot points and trend of general practice in China.Methods:It was a bibliometric analysis. Research papers presentated on Chinese Society of General Practice from 2014 to 2022 were collected. The distribution and its trend were analysed in terms of titles, submission time, research topics, methods and contents as well as authors′ affilation.Results:A total of 944 research papers were included in the analysis. The results showed a general increasing trend in number of research papers presented on annual conferences from 2014 to 2022 with some fluctuation. The papers covered 28 research dimensions; the highest number of papers was on the development of general practice system, the training and education system for general practitioners, and the construction of information technology (576 papers, 61.0%). The most common topic was on primary health services (230 papers, 24.4%), followed by education and training (225, 23.8%) and chronic disease management (212, 22.5%); while fewer papers were dealing with community-based care (39, 4.1%) and rational medication (7, 0.7%). In terms of the affiliation of the first author, 437 papers (46.3%) were from affiliated hospitals of medical universities/colleges, 223 (23.6%) from community health service institutions, 132 (14.0%) from higher education institutions, 118 (12.5%) from non-affiliated hospitals, and 35 (3.7%) were from administration institutions. In terms of regions, it covered all provinces (municipalities/autonomous regions) (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) with few overseas. Shanghai and Beijing contributed more papers than other regions. In terms of research methodology, most papers used quantitative studies (882, 93.7%), less used qualitative studies (39, 4.1%) or mixed studies (23, 2.4%).Conclusion:The analysis indicates that a wide range of contents are involved in general practice research in China, and more high-quality studies are from medical colleges/universities and their affiliated general hospitals, and most papers use quantitative studies.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on motor function of upper limbs of stroke patients with hemiplegia. MethodsFrom October, 2020 to October, 2021, 65 patients from Wuhan No.1 Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 32) and observation group (n = 33). All the patients received routine rehabilitation and mirror therapy, and the observation group received tDCS in addition, for four weeks. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE), Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) and modified Barthel index (MBI) before and after treatment. ResultsThe scores of FMA-UE, ARAT and MBI improved in the both groups after treatment (|t| > 10.455, Z = -2.793, P < 0.001), and all the scores were better in the observation group than in the control group (|t| > 4.152, Z = -2.045, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe combination of tDCS can effectively promote the recovery of upper limb motor function of stroke patients.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy, safety and economics of bid-winning and original Moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablets in the treatment of outpatient community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted to screen and include CAP outpatients during the period of January to December 2021 in Lianyungang First People’s Hospital. They were divided into generic drug group (1 058 cases) and bid-winning drug group (1 121 cases) according to the drug source. Two groups were respectively given original and bid-winning Moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablets, 0.4 g each time, once a day. The efficacy indexes (clinical effective rate, remission time, treatment course, revisiting rate) and safety indexes (allergy, nervous system symptoms, etc.) were compared between the two groups; and the influence factors of clinical treatment failure were analyzed with multi-factor modified Poisson regression model. The economic indicators of the two drugs [quantity, consumption sum, defined daily doses (DDDs), defined daily dose cost (DDDc), price ratio, replacement rate] were compared. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the clinical effective rate, treatment course, revisiting rate, the incidence of nervous system symptoms and Q-T interval prolongation between the two groups (P>0.05). The remission time of original drug group was significantly shorter than that of bid-winning drug group, and the incidence of total adverse drug reaction, allergy reaction, gastrointestinal symptom reaction and hyperglycemia were significantly lower than those in bid-winning drug group(P<0.05). Multivariate Poisson regression analysis showed that bid-winning drug did not increase the risk of clinical treatment failure in CAP outpatients [RR=1.132, 95%CI (0.883, 1.542), P=0.327]. However, antibiotic exposure history, more than 2 items of abnormal clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination all increased the risk of clinical treatment failure (P<0.05). Compared with before the implementation of centralized volume-based procurement policy, the quantity and DDDs of Moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablets increased significantly, while the consumption sum decreased significantly, DDDc of bid-winning drug decreased significantly, the price ratio of it to original drug decreased to 0.117, and the replacement rate increased to 69.44% after the implementation of centralized volume- based procurement policy. CONCLUSIONS Compared with original drug, bid-winning Moxifloxacin hydrochloride tablet shows reliable efficacy and obvious price advantage in the treatment of outpatient CAP, but the incidence of adverse drug reactions is higher.

The questionnaire contained three parts: the first part was basic information of medical staff in non-government primary medical institutions, including position and institutional information; the second part was the status quo of non-government primary medical institutions participating in the prevention and control of COVID-19, including the specific work and difficulties faced by the responders during the epidemic period; and the third part was the prevention and control effect of COVID-19 in the responders′ institutions, including whether there were confirmed cases and infected medical staff. An online invitation was issued among the members of General Practice Branch of Chinese Non-government Medical Institution Association. The invited participants included the heads, general practitioners and other medical personnel of the non-government primary medical institutions the invited participants voluntarily scanned the online two-dimensional code to fill in.Results:A total of 761 individuals in primary health institutions from 20 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China participated in the survey. There were 290 (38.1%) men and 471 (61.9%) women with age of 40(32, 48) years; 83.0% (632/761) had worked for more than 5 years; 33.8% (257/761) owned primary professional titles and 33.0% (251/761) owned intermediate titles. Among all participants 28.5% (217/761) were general practitioners, 26.9% (205/761) were institutions/department managers, 14.6% (111/761) were specialists and 40.3% (307/761) were other related personnel. A total of 549 institutions continued to operate during the epidemic period and 96.5% (530/549) participated in the work related to the prevention and control of the epidemic, including prescreening and triage, health consultation, follow-up of suspected patients, donation, quarantine of suspected cases, follow-up of close contacts/discharged patients, diagnosis and treatment of patients with new coronavirus pneumonia. 44.7% (340/761) of respondents participated in the epidemic prevention as front-line staff and directly contacted patients/suspected patients, and 63.1% (480/761) participated in the epidemic prevention work of primary medical institutions, including clinical outpatient service, prescreening triage and screening. The working sites were not limited to the institutions, but also other sites including high-speed railway station. The 97.8% (744/761) responders expressed their willingness to participate in epidemic prevention work under the unified leadership and command of the state. The 63.9% (486/761) of the responders were worried about the lack of protective equipments and measures, and 90.4% (688/761) respondents showed that they needed medical supplies (protective equipment: masks, goggles, protective gowns, etc.).Conclusion:The participation of non-government primary medical institutions and their staff in COVID-19 infection prevention and control is a key component of the epidemic prevention process.

Objective:To analyze the status of prevention and control of COVID-19 in primary care institutions at the early stage of the epidemic.Methods:Thirty healthcare professionals from various places of China were recruited in the study from 6 thto 16 th February 2020 through WeChat platform advertising and by purposive sampling method. They were general practitioners (GPs), administrators, and other specialists, all of whom were involved in the prevention and control of COVID-19. Personal interview and focus group discussion were conducted online. The topic guide was as follows: (1) Introduction of the work that primary healthcare professionals carried out during the outbreak of COVID-19. (2) Difficulties and challenges that healthcare professionals encountered. (3) Opinions on the prevention and control of COVID-19. (4) Advices on future outbreak of similar epidemics or disease. NVivo 12 software system was used to code and classify the interview content, and thematic framework analysis was used to sort out and analyze the data and extract the interview themes. Results:Six themes were extracted: (1) The community hospital leaders led the work in time but job distribution and prevention procedures were insufficient; and the workload of GPs was heavy. (2) Primary care settings had carried out pre-screening and triage; while outpatient clinic continued to provide health care service for local residents, especially stressing online service and consultation to reduce the population mobility. (3) GPs should make full use of technical advantages and participate in joint prevention and control. (4) GPs offered various health education to residents to improve their awareness of self-protection. (5) GPs lacked professional skills and needed more related training, while the current training were still insufficient. (6) There were not enough supplies and GPs had increasing worries about the infection risks.Conclusions:GPs play an important role in effectively curbing the spread of the epidemic. It is suggested that the setting of triage and fever clinic in primary care institutions need to be readjusted; and the training of prevention and control knowledge and skill for GPs need to be strengthened in the future.

Objective:To explore the effect of evidence-based nursing best practice in postoperative pain management of neurosurgery patients.Methods:From January to June 2019, a cluster sampling method was used to select 146 neurosurgery patients from Huashan Hospital, Fudan University as the control group. We examined the patient's postoperative pain management status, and applied evidence-based nursing methods to obtain best practice evidence. From July to December 2019, the clinical evidence practice application model of the Australia Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Health Care Center was used to apply evidence to postoperative pain management in neurosurgery patients. From January to June 2020, a cluster sampling method was used to select 146 neurosurgery patients as the observation group for re-examination after the application of evidence. The Modified American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-Modified) was used to investigate the postoperative pain perception beliefs and postoperative pain degree of the two groups of patients. The qualification rate of 146 pain nursing records before and after the application of the evidence was checked and the differences were compared.Results:The scores of 7 items regarding pain perception beliefs in control group were (3.45±1.42) , (3.21±1.21) , (3.58±1.53) , (3.37±1.26) , (3.63±1.34) , (3.55±1.06) , (3.45±1.35) , and those of observation group were (2.44±1.31) , (2.35±1.21) , (2.34±1.35) , (3.06±1.17) , (2.57±1.25) , (3.05±1.02) , (3.12±1.42) , the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t=6.346, 6.057, 7.350, 2.166, 6.994, 4.108, 2.027; P<0.05) . In control group, the current pain degree score was (2.34±0.89) , the most severe pain degree score within 24 hours after operation was (4.44±1.17) , and the average pain degree score within 24 hours after operation was (3.21±0.75) , and the scores in observation group were (1.98±0.96) , (3.54±1.10) , (2.46±0.70) , and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.355, 6.731, 8.808; P<0.01) . The qualification rate of pain nursing record sheet before and after the application of the evidence was 67.12% (98/146) and 82.88% (121/146) respectively, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=9.662, P=0.002) . Conclusions:The evidence-based nursing best practice can improve neurosurgery patients' pain perception beliefs, reduce the degree of postoperative pain of patients, and increase the qualification rate of nurses' pain nursing records.
