ABSTRACT
A pilot mixed assessment method was used to evaluate the clinical and teaching ability of general practitioners (GPs) in a suburban district of Shanghai. In December 2018, 29 GPs from 20 community health centers in a suburban district of Shanghai were assessed by a mixed method consisting of 3 domains and 8 stations for one day. The average age of GPs was (37.8±4.7) years and 22 were females (75.9%). In 3 domains, the average score (66.8±9.7) and qualified rate (75.9%) of clinical thinking abilities were the lowest. In 8 stations, the average score [(53.8+13.4) points] and qualified rate (34.5%) of adult SOAP medical record writing station were the lowest. The average score of pediatric outpatients consult station of GPs with<15 years of community work experience was higher than that of GPs with >15 years of work experience [(68.6+10.2) vs. (58.5+9.4), t=2.787, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the scores among GPs with different teaching years and titles. The average scores of clinical thinking ability domain ( t=2.115) and adult outpatient consult station ( t=3.410); in the clinical operation ability domain the ophthalmoscopy and readings ( t=3.816) and otoscopy and reporting station ( t=2.286); clinical teaching abilities ( t=2.618) and simulated educational situation station ( t=2.452) and mini lectures station ( t=2.802) of GPs in the community teaching base were higher than those in non-community teaching base (all P<0.05). Mixed assessment method can be used as one of the important means for GPs′ ability assessment. The community teaching bases have effectively improved the clinical and teaching abilities of GPs in suburban areas, however, the clinical thinking abilities of them are still weak.

ABSTRACT
Five hundred and nineteen patients with essential hypertension from 6 community health centers in Baoshan Distract of Shanghai were enrolled in the program,all patients received direct or indirect comprehensive interventions.These interventions were conducted by doctors from tertiary hospitals and community health serwice centers.Among these hyperpietic,462 patients were followed-up for 1 year.After interventions,the awareness rate of hypertension was significantly increased,unhealthy life styles were changed; blood pressure control rate and risk factors control rate were also increased; carotid-femoral artery pulse wave velocity and carotid-radial artery pulse wave velocity were decreased (P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05).The results indicate that comprehensive interventions organized by tertiary hospitals with community health centers are effectivc in managcmcnt of hypcrtension.
ABSTRACT
Serious femoral damages are a common human bone disease. Rebuilding the femur and studying its mechanical properties are a continuous medical research topic, but traditional femoral prosthesis often cause some problems such as prosthesis loosening. In this work, we selected a healthy male, took his femur scanning by CT, and rebuilt high-precision femur prototypes by Mimics10.0 software, then chose the material having good biocompatibility and biodegradable, utilizing low-temperature deposition manufacturing (LDM) technology for the femoral manufacturing. This approach, fabricating the femur via LDM technology, laid a foundation for the later research on the femoral implantation in the human body.

Since there is a clinical need for the tissue-engineered vascular graft (TEVG), fabricating the vascular scaffold individually appears to be necessary. In this work, we have developed the traditional tubular scaffold and branch vascular scaffold utilizing low-temperature deposition manufacturing (LDM) technology. Then different tubular scaffolds were fabricated by changing the processing parameters, and the morphological properties of the scaffolds were assessed. The scaffolds reproduced the structure of 3D vascular model accurately. Wall thickness of the scaffold increased with the increase of velocity ratio (V(L)/V(s)) and nozzle temperature, and both the micropore size and wall roughness were positively correlated with the nozzle temperature. However, the porosity was barely affected by the nozzle temperature. This approach, fabricating vascular scaffold with special structure and appearance features via LDM technology, is potential for the individual fabrication of vascular scaffold.

Three-dimensionally controlled cell-assembly technique makes fabricating tissues and organs in vitro to be possible. However, for real tissues and organs with complex structure and various cells, fabricating tissues and organs in vitro need a technique that could assemble and locate multi cells and materials precisely in the space. Facing the needs of multi-cell assembly, we designed a mixer nozzle and the matching pulse switching circuit which based on the single-nozzle cell assembly system, and developed a multi-cell-assembly system. We also carried out some assembly experiments with this system using materials that were similar to the multi-component extracellular matrix materials. The results demonstrated that the system could assemble various cells and materials into three-dimensional inhomogeneous structures precisely.
