RESUMO
ObjectiveTo understand the mortality trends among residents of Fuling District, Chongqing, before and after theCOVID-19 outbreak, and to provide references for the government to formulate disease prevention and control policies and measures. MethodsData on mortality and population in Fuling District from 2017 to 2022 were collected to analyze population mortality and standardized mortality rates, and to compare the changes in the causes of death by year and before and after the pandemic. ResultsFrom 2017 to 2022, the crude mortality rate in Fuling District showed an upward trend (APC=3.04%, P<0.05), while the standardized mortality rate showed a downward trend (APC=-6.47%, P<0.01). The mortality rate of males was higher than that of females (P<0.05), with different age groups having different causes of death composition. The highest proportion of deaths in 0-year-old group was from infectious diseases, maternal and neonatal diseases, and nutritional deficiencies, the highest proportion of deaths in the 1‒24 age group, with the exception of those aged 5‒9, was from injuries, and the main cause of death for residents aged 25 and above was chronic diseases. The mortality rate of mental and behavioral disorders rose from the 13th to the 9th place. According to the epidemic situation of COVID-19, there were no changes in the top five causes of death among the entire population. The motility rate of endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases rose from the sixth to the fifth place in male population, and the motility rate of malignant tumor rose from the 3rd to the 2nd place in female population. ConclusionThere are no changes in the top five causes of death among the entire population of Fuling District before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Chronic diseases remain the main cause of death. It is necessary to control the risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, and to curb the rising trend of mortality rates from strokes and acute myocardial infarction. For deaths caused by accidental injuries, targeted health education should be conducted for different populations.

【Objective】 To explore the characteristics and prevalence of HBV infection among voluntary blood donors in Chongqing and analyze its epidemiological characteristics, so as to provide reference for effective selection of low-risk blood donors. 【Methods】 The test results of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and viral nucleic acid (HBV DNA) of 314 442 voluntary blood donors from October 2017 to October 2020 in Chongqing Blood Center were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between the total positive rate of HBV, HBsAg+ /HBV DNA-, HBsAg-/HBV DNA+, HBsAg+ /HBV DNA+ and gender, marriage, age, education background, occupation, firs-time blood donation and repeated blood donation was analyzed. 【Results】 Among the 314 442 voluntary blood donors, the total positive rate of HBV, HBsAg+ /HBV DNA-, HBsAg-/HBV DNA+ and HBsAg+ /HBV DNA+ was 0.88% (2 764/314 442), 0.28% (893/314 442), 0.18% (567/314 442) and 0.41% (1 304/314 442), respectively. The total positive rate of HBV, HBsAg-/HBV DNA+ and HBsAg+ /HBV DNA+ was different in gender, marriage, age, education background, occupation and firs-time/repeated blood donation. The positive rate of men was higher than that of women, and that of married higher than that of unmarried, and decreased as the education level elevated.The positive rate of farmers and workers was the highest and that of medical staff was the lowest, followed by students, military personnel, civil servants, and teachers. The positive rate of first-time blood donors was higher than that of repeated blood donors. The differences were statistically significant (P0.05). 【Conclusion】 The prevalence of HBV among voluntary blood donors in Chongqing is relatively high and is related to gender, marriage, age, education background, occupation, and first-time/repeated blood donation. It is necessary to strengthen effective consultation before blood donation, formulate guidelines for blood donation recruitment, select voluntary blood donors from low-risk groups to improve blood safety.
RESUMO
Objective To understand the status of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy in southeaster Chongqing area, and to provide evidence for health authorities to carry out radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy management. Methods The questionnaire survey was carried out in radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy institutions. Results In 2020 there are 224 radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy institutions, including 3 tertiary hospitals and 16 secondary hospitals. Three hospitals carried out radiotherapy, two hospitals carried out nuclear medicine, and seven hospitals carried out interventional radiology. There were 376 sets of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy equipment, and the number of DR and CT machine was large (58.8% and 14.9% respectively). There were 786 radiological workers (66.9% male), and most of them were X-ray diagnostic workers (85.8%). There were 977, 043 cases of routine X-ray diagnosis(application frequency of 357.7 per 1000 population), mainly in the first level and below hospitals (accounting for 45.3%). There were 391, 067 cases of CT diagnosis (application frequency 143.8 per 1000 population), mainly in secondary hospitals (66.0%). 4860 patients received interventional therapy (application frequency 1.78 per 1000 population) and 781 patients received radiotherapy (application frequency 0.003 per 1000 population), mainly in tertiary hospitals (55.3% and 69.8% respectively). Conclusion Radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy resources in southeast Chongqing area backward and unevenly developed, and there are few hospitals carrying out radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and interventional radiology. Except for Qianjiang district, the level of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy in the other five districts and counties (autonomous counties) is weak, it is necessary to further improve the level of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy.
RESUMO
Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle is centered on Chengdu City and Chongqing Municipality, with aims to build the “fourth growth pole” of China’s economy. During this circle, elimination of schistosomiasis had been achieved in 82.5% of the endemic counties (districts) of Sichuan Province, and schistosomiasis is not historically endemic in Chongqing Municipality; however, there is still a risk of schistosmiasis transmission in Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality because the natural and social factors affecting schistosomiasis transmission have not been completely eliminated in these areas. Based on the endemic situation of schistosomiasis in Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality, we analyzed the opportunities and challenges of schistosomiasis control during the construction of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, and proposed the corresponding suggestions, so as to provide insights into the sustainable development of schistosomiasis control in the context of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle construction.

RESUMO
Great achievements have been made in higher medical education in Chongqing, China. Among the western provinces and cities, Chongqing has relatively high quantity and quality indicators of medical education institutions . Within the whole country , Chongqing has a medium level of the key indicators of medical education, and there is still a gap between Chongqing and the economically developed provinces such as Zhejiang and Guangdong. Among the four centrally administered municipalities, Beijing and Shanghai have rich medical education resources, and there is a large gap between Chongqing and Beijing/Shanghai in the level of medical education, the number of academicians, and the number of hospitals included in the top hundred hospitals in China . Recently , Chongqing University started to establish a medical school, and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences started to construct an affiliated hospital named Chongqing Hospital in cooperation with Chongqing Municipal Health Planning Commission, which provided valuable opportunities for the development of higher medical education in Chongqing. Chongqing should increase the investment in basic research and development of medical science and technology, seize the strategic opportunity of"Internet+medicine", and gather the talents in medical science and technology, so as to promote the integration and development of military-civilian medical education and improve the level of higher medical education.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of the national designated production pilot policy for drug in shortage in China. METHODS: Taking 2 batches of drugs from 7 designated production manufacturers in Chongqing from Sept. 2012 to Sept. 2018 as an example, the overall supply situation of designated production (using the average satisfaction rate of medical institution’s order as index), the changes of drug supply (average satisfaction rate of order) before and after the implementation of national designated production policy (during designated production period and non-designated production period) were all analyzed. According to the level of medical institutions and the order quantity of medical institutions (three sections: small amount, suitable, big amount), the classification analysis was carried out. At the same time, telephone interview was conducted among the business personnel of related pharmaceutical production enterprises to understand and summarize the reasons for the supply problems of these drugs. RESULTS: Except for the average satisfaction rate of drug order was 0 in one designated production manufacturers, the satisfaction rate of drug order in the other 6 designated production manufacturers ranged from 58.05% to 92.31%. During the designated production period, the satisfaction rate of drug order was increased significantly, compared with non-designated production period. However, after the expiration of the designated production of drugs, the order satisfaction rate mostly declined, and satisfaction rate of some drug orders were even lower than that before designated production. Average satisfaction rate of drug order in third level medical institution was higher than those of second level, first level or primary medical institutions. During designated production period, the average satisfaction rate of drug order in designated production manufacturers to medical institutions at all levels was higher than during non-designated production period or in non-designated production enterprises. There are 5 kinds of reasons for supply problem of designated production and drug with same specification: the limited price is lower than the cost; the production is stopped due to raw material; the production is stopped because of enterprise; the medical insurance payment price is far lower than the supply price; the hospital demand is small. CONCLUSIONS: The designated production pilot policy has played a significant role in improving the shortage of drug supply, but it still needs to be improved by establishing a dynamic adjustment mechanism for the scope, price and duration of designated drug production.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current status of pharmacists in public hospitals from Chongqing after the comprehensive reform of public hospitals, to put forward countermeasures and suggestions. METHODS: In questionnaire survey, pharmacists were selected from 33 public hospitals of secondary grade and above in Chongqing as survey objects. The current status of pharmacists in public hospitals of Chongqing from Sept. to Aug. 2018 was collected and surveyed in respects of the basic situation of pharmacists, the impact of medical reform policies, acceptance and professional development requirements of pharmacists. RESULTS: Totally 33 medical institutions included 13 third-grade hospitals and 20 secondary hospitals. A total of 838 questionnaires were distributed and 702 questionnaires were effectively recovered with effective recovery rate of 83.8%. According to the survey results, the majority of pharmacists in public hospitals of Chongqing were 25-35 years old (50.6%); 8 (1.1%) had doctor’s degree, 86 (12.3%) had master’s degree, and 25.9% had junior college and technical secondary schools. The number of master’s and doctor’s degrees in third-grade hospitals was higher than that of secondary hospitals, but there were still junior college and technical secondary school degrees in third-grade hospitals. Pharmacists were mainly referred to as middle and junior titles, 217 of which were middle-level titles (30.9%), and 434 were primary titles(61.8%); the majors were mainly pharmacy (64%), followed by traditional Chinese pharmacology (18.7%). Most of the working years were within 10 years (54.9%). There were 274 people (39.0%) with an annual income of less than 50 000 yuan, 342 people (48.7%) with an annual income of 50 000- 100 000 yuan and only 86 people (12.3%) with an annual income of more than 100 000 yuan. After the implementation of new medical reform, 430 people (61.3%) thought that the workload had increased significantly or slightly, 99 people (14.1%) thought that the scope of work was significantly expanded, and 433 people thought that the annual income after medical reform was slightly reduced or significantly reduced (61.7%); 253 people (36.0%) believed that hospital leaders did not pay attention to and did not pay much attention to pharmacists; 294 (41.9%) believed that medical staffs relatively accepted or highly accepted pharmacists. The reasons why pharmaceutical staffs thought that they were not valued mainly included five aspects, including that patients did not understand them; clinical medical staff did not agree with them; leaders did not pay attention to them; corresponding systems and regulations lacked; professional quality lacked. The main work content of pharmacists was mainly based on drug dispensing, and there were fewer people carrying out clinical pharmaceutical care, pharmacy management, pharmaceutical administration and quality control, preparation, pharmaceutical research. The jobs that they hoped to engage in were clinical pharmaceutical care, drug dispensing, pharmaceutical administration and quality monitoring, etc. Pharmacists believed that drug dispensing and delivery, reviewing medical orders, medication education guidance, consultation and medication counseling, drug management were important skills. The pharmaceutical staffs were good at skills, such as medical order review, medication education guidance, drug management. CONCLUSIONS: At present, the pharmacists in public hospitals of Chongqing have some problems, such as low education level, few clinical pharmaceutical professionals, low overall income and not recognized. It is suggested to protect the role and position of pharmacists in the medical treatment process from the perspective of introducing highly educated personnel of clinical pharmacy, improving the professional and educational structure of pharmacists, changing the pharmaceutical care mode, and improving their own ability and treatment.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the related factors of soil-transmitted nematode infections in Chongqing City, so as to provide the basis for scientific prevention and treatment of the infections. Methods From 2011 to 2015, the stool samples of residents of the surveillance sites in Chongqing City were collected every year, and the soil-transmitted nematode eggs were examined by the modified Kato-Katz thick smear method (three smears for a single stool sample). The respondents were surveyed by questionnaires, and the factors affecting soil-transmitted nematode infections were identified. Results The prevalence of human soil-transmitted nematode infections were 6.44%, 7.30%, 6.85%, 6.93% and 5.56% in Chongqing City from 2011 to 2015, respectively. The more unclean drinking water and the lower frequency of washing hands after using the toilet were the risk factors for Ascaris lumbricoides infection. The more harmless toilets, the higher level of fertilizer application, the lower frequency of drinking raw water, and the lower frequency of food without washing were the protective factors for A. lumbricoides infection. Conclusions The local soil-transmitted nematode infections are at a low epidemic level in Chongqing City, and it is necessary to ad-here to the classified guidance, comprehensive prevention and further monitoring on the basis of health education, water and toilet improvement, and environmental sanitation improvement in order to consolidate the prevention and control achievements.
