The study is designed to explore new methods of evaluation for teachers′ comprehensive ability in general medicine. In the whole education process of resident aiming at general practitioner (GP) residency post competency, the authors made comprehensive evaluation of GP faculty, and created a comprehensive GP faculty evaluation model of result orientation. The efforts aim at exploring and introducing faculty evaluation methods and promoting education quality, in order to develop outstanding GP residents of strong post competency.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training plays an important role in improving the survival rate of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and attention should be paid to the knowledge education and skill training of CPR for the public. This article reviews the current situation of CPR training at home and abroad, and puts forward suggestions for CPR training in China, particularly emphasizes that CPR training should be included in the compulsory education and that general practitioners should play a leading role in public CPR training.

Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) , in order to relieve the pressure of outpatient services, especially fever clinic service in hospital, and to avoid the cross-infection among patients, the general practice team of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital has opened free online counseling service. This article introduces the workflow and related contents of the online counseling mode of general practice under the COVID-19 epidemic situation, so as to provide reference for medical institutions to implement "internet+general practice" mode of counseling service.

In the context of the "Belt and Road" initiative, We systematically analyzed the general education and training systems of 16 Western Pacific countries and regions, including general practitioner college education, post-graduation education, and faculty status. Developed countries and regions have a long-term medical education system, strong faculty, and a comprehensive training model for general practitioners. Underdeveloped countries and regions are relatively weak in educational institutions, faculty, and general practitioner training models. The underdeveloped countries and regions should develop a general medical education and training system in terms of strengthening the construction of general medical disciplines, strengthening the supervision and certification of general practitioners, improving the general medical training model, and strengthening the construction of teachers.

Since December 2019, the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly swept across the country, posing great challenges to the public health in China. In the epidemic prevention and control, primary care practitioners play a very important role in patient triage, home-based visit, follow-up as well as screening at the checkpoints. However, due to the lack of necessary protective equipment and heavy workload, primary care practitioners are facing great challenges in containing the epidemic outbreak. Based on the relevant guidelines and practice in primary care, this article summarizes the challenges primary care practitioners encountered and coping strategies for containing the epidemic outbreak in primary care settings to provide reference for improvement of their working quality.

The authors described the attempt of general practice in hierarchical medical system aided by the medical service partnership model.This reform has achieved an effective and efficient hierarchical medical system for chronic diseases within a medical alliance, overcoming the existing hierarchical medical system centering on a hospital.Other merits of the reform include a general practice guidance pattern between general hospitals and community hospitals and enhanced general practitioner competence in communities,effectively encouraging general practice progress.

Objective: To explore the association between the accumulation of metabolic syndrome (MS) components and abnormal brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and to investigate the effect of accumulation of abnormal metabolic components on abnormal baPWV among adult individuals undergoing routine health examination. Methods: It's a cross-sectional study. Data from 9 201 stratified sampled subjects, aged between 25 to 75 years old, who took part in the annual health checkups in 11 cities of Zhejiang Province from January to December 2016, were analyzed. Blood pressure(BP), fasting plasma glucose(FPG), waist circumference(WC), triglyceride(TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterols(HDL-C) were defined as MS components. The baPWV was measured by VP-1000 (BP-203RPE Ⅲ) and ΔbaPWV (measured baPWV-reference baPWV/reference baPWV) ×100 (%)> 10% was defined as abnormal. The relationship between MS components and ΔbaPWV was analyzed by linear regression, and impact of accumulation of MS components on ΔbaPWV was analyzed by logistic regression, and the ΔbaPWV in subjects with different levels of MS components were analyzed by analysis of variance. Results: (1) The linear regression analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between ΔbaPWV and MS components including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, WC, FPG, TG, while ΔbaPWV was negatively correlated with HDL-C. The β values were 0.518, 0.616, 0.208, 2.778, 1.862, -1.339, respectively (all P<0.001), indicating a strong association between ΔbaPWV and systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and FPG. (2) The logistic regression analysis showed that the proportion of abnormal ΔbaPWV was 2.595 times higher in MS individuals than in non-MS individuals (P<0.001). Abnormal ΔbaPWV increased in proportion with increase in numbers of the metabolic components (OR=1.913, 2.884, 3.833, 6.161, 11.176 in individuals with 1,2,3,4,5 metabolic components, respectively, all P<0.001). (3) The logistic analysis suggested that each component of MS could affect baPWV,and OR was 4.68, 2.45 for systolic blood pressure and/or diastolic blood pressure and FPG. All combinations of 2 components of MS also significantly affected baPWV,and OR value was the highest (5.104(95%CI 4.281-6.085), P<0.001) for FPG+BP. All combinations of 3 components of MS significantly affected baPWV,and OR value was the highest(5.385(95%CI 4.245-6.831), P<0.001) for BP+FPG+TG. All combinations of 4 components of MS affected baPWV,and OR value was the highest (6.519(95%CI 4.731-8.984), P<0.001) for BP+FPG+WC+TG. (4) Finally, every component of MS was divided into 3 levels, their impact on abnormal ΔbaPWV was analyzed. Prevalence of abnormal ΔbaPWV significantly increased with the increasing levels of the metabolic components expect for HDL-C, the F values were 1 224.66, 832.89, 192.72, 112.79 and 56.22, respectively (all P<0.001), indicating that higher levels of metabolic components significantly affected the ΔbaPWV. Conclusions MS and accumulation of abnormal MS components are closely related with abnormal ΔbaPWV, and the combination of BP and FPG have the greatest impact on the abnormal ΔbaPWV. Analysis on the accumulation of MS components might serve as an early indicator of arteriosclerosis.

Total 280 non-medical undergraduates (174 males and 106 females) were enrolled in the study from September 2015 to January 2016.Among all participants,132 received comprehensive cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training,including knowledge teaching,video playing and simulation practice (study group),and 148 received knowledge teaching and simulation practice only (control group).Changes of CPR knowledge,skills and willingness were evaluated before and after training,and compared between two groups.The theory scores were increased after the training in both groups (study group: 87.7±5.6 vs.47.9±4.7,P<0.001;control group: 71.6±5.2 vs.48.4±4.9,P<0.001);there was no significantly difference between two groups before the training (P>0.05),however,there was significant difference after the training (P<0.001).The qualified rates of CPR skills were increased after the training in both groups (study group 81.8% vs.26.5%,P<0.001;control group: 68.2% vs.26.4%,P<0.001);there was no significant difference in qualified rates before the training between two groups (P>0.05),however,there was significant difference after the training (P<0.01).The willingness rates of performing CPR were increased after the training in both groups (study group: 64.4% vs.13.6%,P<0.001;control group: 46.6% vs.14.2%,P<0.001);there was no significant difference in willingness level before the training between two groups (P>0.05),however,there was significantly difference after the training (P<0.01).The study shows that comprehensive training can enhance CPR knowledge,skills and willingness for non-medical undergraduates,indicating that it may also be effective for other social groups.
