ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the the dementia management capabilities of general practitioners (GPs) in urban district community health service centers (CHSCs) of Beijing.Methods:A survey on dementia management capabilities of GPs was conducted from July to November 2018, among 479 GPs from 6 urban districts in Beijing randomly selected by two-step sampling method. A self-designed questionnaire was used for survey, which contained demographic information and dementia management capacity of participants. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression models with SPSS (20.0).Results:The overall score of GPs′ dementia management capacity was 53.9±10.3. The mean score of "detection, assessment and referral of dementia in pre-diagnosis" was 25.5±5.1; the highest score of the item "Can refer the suspected dementia patients to a specialist if necessary" was 4.1±0.8, while the lowest score of the item "Can use NPI-Q for behavioral and psychotic symptoms of dementia assessment" was 3.4±1.0. And the mean score of "treatment and management of dementia in post-diagnosis" was 28.4±6.2; the highest score of the item "Can provide guidance on safety for dementia patients " was 3.7±0.9, while the lowest score of the item "Can provide non-drug guidance on improving cognitive function for dementia patients " was 3.4±1.0. The factors affecting the GPs′ capability of dementia detection, assessment and referral were their attitudes ( t=0.69, P<0.01) toward dementia management in CHSCs and whether they had participated in dementia-related training in the last year ( t=2.18, P<0.05). And the factor affecting the GPs′ capability of dementia treatment and management was their attitudes toward dementia management in CHSCs ( t=9.17, P<0.01). Conclusions:The study shows that generally GPs feel inadequate in dementia management capability; while those with special training and positive attitudes have a higher dementia management capability. Therefore, adequate training and reasonable incentive mechanism may be the countermeasures to improve the capability of dementia management of GPs in CHSCs.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of group teaching of Third Hospital of Peking University (Beijing Medical Third Hospital) for a hospital located in remote area. Methods From 2016 to 2017, 19 medical staff from Peking University Third Hospital gave their support to Huanxian People's Hospital and provided respectively the theoretical support, guidance of clinical skills, medical consultation, free paid clinic, outpatient service, and teaching rounds, etc. A questionnaire survey was carried out to realize the subjective evaluation of the 155 clinical front-line staff who had participated in the class regarding the effect of group teaching and the most welcome teaching mode and contents; the objective data on the monthly outpatient visits, number of patients admitted into the hospital, the number of surgical patients, etc were calculated and compared between the pre-support (2014 to 2015) and post-support (2016 to 2017) period to evaluate the effect of counterpart support. Results One hundred and fourteen of the 155 medical staff in their respective departments were trained by the experts, and the percentage of medical staff believed that the counterpart support helped clinical work very much accounting for [58.8% (67/114)] being significantly higher than those who considered of no help [9.6% (11/114)], a little help [16.7% (19/114)] and some help [14.9% (17/114), χ2= 94.082, P = 0.000]; after support, the number of monthly outpatient visits compared to that of pre-support period (case times:43 816.5±3 406.9 vs. 37 319.5±4 302.1) and the number of monthly patients hospitalized compared to that of pre-support period (case times: 2 978.3±235.1 vs. 2 250.9±218.1) were significantly higher than those before the support (all P < 0.05), no statistical significant difference in monthly surgery volume (case times: 449.8±107.3 vs. 459.0±85.4, P > 0.05) between the above 2 periods was seen. The survey showed that the mostly demanding teaching method was theoretical teaching [65.8% (102/155)], followed by teaching rounds [50.3% (78/155)] and outpatient teaching the least [18.1% (28/155)]. That the ratios of various teaching contents with their sequence from high to low the medical personnel required were as follows: to learn new technologies [76.8% (119/155)], medical frontier knowledge [68.4% (106/155)], and standard diagnosis and treatment manipulations [67.7% (105/155)], cultivation of clinical thinking [66.5% (103/155)] and passing on surgical skills [56.1% (87/155)]. There were statistical significant differences between each teaching method and teaching content (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Teaching to cultivate qualified health personnel is the key to the development of hospitals located in remote areas, according to their needs, combining local conditions and the establishment of long-term cooperation mechanisms, we can comprehensively improve the professional quality of medical personnel and the overall strength of hospitals located in remote areas.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate mutations of CSMD3 gene in a pedigree of familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy (FCMTE).Methods Peripheral blood (5 ml) was obtained from FCMTE patients (7 cases),suspected cases,and control individuals.Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and purification of PCR products for sequencing were used to detect the existence of mutations in 73 exons of gene CSMD3.The resulting products were subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis and gel-imaging system.The PCR amplification products were sequenced.Results The sequencing results of 73 exons were compared with CSMD3gDNA sequence in human GenBank.We neither found any DNA sequence variation nor disease-related mutations.Conclusions The family does not have a mutation in the CSMD3 gene.We need to further find the disease genes and the mutations in this family.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of treadmill training at different intensities on the expression of p-AKT in rats' gastrocnemius muscles after focal cerebral ischemia,and to investigate whether intensive training is beneficial for the recovery of motor function.Methods Left middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was induced in 120 male Wistar rats using the intraluminal thread method,and they were divided into an MCAO group (no training),a normal training group (treadmill training once a day for 30 min) and an intensive training group (treadmill training twice a day for 60 min),each of 30 rats.There was also a sham control group with 30 members not given MCAO or training.The four groups were further divided into 3 day,7 day and 14 day subgroups.Five rats randomly selected from each subgroup were sacrificed for hematoxylin-eosin staining after 4％ paraformaldehyde treatment.Neurological function was evaluated using Zausinger scores,and the expression of p-Akt was detected by western blotting.Results No significant differences in Zausinger scores were observed between the intensive training group and the normal training group after 1,3 or 7 days of training.However the average Zausinger score in the intensive training group was significantly higher than in the normal training group after 14 d of treadmill training.After 7 d and 14 d of treadmill training the average cross-sectional area of the gastrocnemius muscles in the sham group was significantly higher than in the other three groups.The average area of the intensive training group was significantly larger than that of the normal training group.The expression of p-Akt in the gastrocnemius was significantly increased in the intensive training group compared with the normal training group in the 7 day and 14 day subgroups.Conclusion Treadmill training can improve the expression of p-Akt in atrophied gastrocnemius muscles caused by MCAO.Intensive training is more effective for the recovery of muscle function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish cell model of Parkinson's disease(PD)and to approach the toxic effect of rotenone on dopaminergic neurons and its mechanism.Methods PC12 cells were differentiated into dopaminergic neurons and treated with various concentrations of rotenone.The morphological changes of PC12 cells were observed after treated with rotenone(0,10,25,50,75,and 100 nmol?L-1)for 24,48 and 72 h,the cell viability was measured by MTT assay.Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence were used to observe the accumulation of ?-synuclein in cytoplasm.AO/EB double staining was also adopted to test apoptosis.Results After differentiation PC12 cells shaped irregularly with big and long ecptomas and multiple cell conjunctions.After the treatment of rotenone cell ecptomas vanished gradually and cell bodies became smaller and smoother.The cell viability began to decline significantly at a concentration of 50 nmol?L-1 for 24 h(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of telmisartan on cogtive function and the expression of Ghrelin receptors,growth hormone secretagogues receptor(GHSR) in diabetic rats. Methods Forty rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group,diabetic model group,and telmisartan treatment group. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat model(65 mg/kg,ip) was established. In the telmisartan treatment group,the rats were treated with telmisartan (13.3 mg?kg-1?d-1) for 12 weeks. Learning and memory abilities of the rats were tested by the Morris water maze. The mRNA and protein levels of GHSR in frontal cortex were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the diabetic model group,the telmisartan treatment group showed a significant decrease in the mean time of escape latencies(P
