The association between the TyG index and the number of coronary artery lesions in patients with stable coronary artery disease / 中华全科医师杂志

Objective:To analyse the association between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and the number of coronary artery lesions in patients with stable coronary artery disease.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. Patients with stable coronary artery disease who were admitted to Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from 1st January 2019 to 30th April 2020 for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were selected. We collected general clinical information and laboratory results from the enrolled patients, then calculated the TyG index. We evaluated coronary artery lesions by coronary angiography and analysed the factors associated with the number of coronary artery lesion branches by the logistic regression model.Results:A total of 832 patients were included in this study, 641 (77.0%) were male, the age was (64.6±11.5) years. The mean TyG index was 8.78. Patients with the TyG index≥8.78 were included in the high TyG index group (411 patients), and those with the TyG index<8.78 were included in the low TyG index group (421 patients). Compared with the low TyG index group, the high TyG index group had the higher body mass index and diastolic blood pressure, more smokers and diabetes mellitus, younger age of onset of coronary heart disease (all P<0.05), and a lower proportion of patients using statins ( P=0.027). Compared with the low TyG index group, the high TyG index group had the higher levels of erythrocyte count, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, albumin, urea nitrogen, uric acid, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein E, and C-reactive protein (all P<0.05). However, the levels of high density lipoprotein, apolipoprotein A1 and apolipoprotein A were lower in the high TyG index group than those in the low TyG index group (all P<0.05). The number of coronary artery lesions in patients in the high TyG index group was 2.35±0.91, more than the low TyG index group 2.10±0.95 ( P<0.001).After adjusting for the other factors, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male, smoking history (smoking cessation or smoking), TyG index and troponin T levels were independently positively associated with the number of coronary artery lesions (all OR>1, P<0.05), while ApoA1 was independently negatively associated with the number of coronary artery lesions ( OR=0.140, P=0.007). Conclusions:TyG index is positively associated with the number of coronary artery lesions in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

Objective:To establish selection criteria of community mentors for postgraduates in general medicine.Methods:A subject index system of selection criteria of community tutors for general practice postgraduates was drafted and refined based on literature retrieving and in-depth interviews during January to December 2020. Twenty experts in general practice related fields were invited for two rounds of Delphi consultation. Analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate index weight coefficient and consistency test; and the developed selection criteria were evaluated.Results:Through the in-depth interviews with 11 general practice faculty and 11 general practice postgraduates, the following five first-level thematic frameworks were refined: (1) the professional qualities; (2) the basic qualities; (3) the clinical ability; (4) the teaching ability; (5) the scientific research ability. After two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, the selection criteria of community tutors for postgraduates in general practice were finally constructed, including 5 first-level indicators (professional quality, basic quality, medical practice ability, teaching and guidance ability, academic research ability) and 28 second-level indicators. The positive coefficients of experts were 85% and 100%; the expert authority coefficients were 0.825 and 0.860; and the expert opinion coordination coefficients were 0.486 and 0.515, respectively (all P<0.05). the weight coefficients of the five first-level indicators were 0.345, 0.210, 0.138, 0.210 and 0.097, respectively. Conclusion:The criteria and index system on the selection of community mentors for general practice postgraduates has been successfully developed in the study.

Related factors of three-vessel disease in patients with stable coronary artery disease / 中华全科医师杂志

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of three-vessel disease (TVD) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD).Methods:The clinical data of 447 patients with SCAD diagnosed in Zhongshan Hospital from May 2019 to April 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including 108 cases with the single-vessel disease (SVD), 136 cases with the two-vessel disease, and 203 cases with three-vessel disease. The general data and hematological indexes were compared between patients with SVD and those with TVD; the related factors for TVD in SCAD patients were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression.Results:There were 244 males (78.5%) and 67 females (21.5%) with a median age of 57 years (64, 69). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in diabetes history ( χ2=7.75, P=0.005), uric acid ( Z=-2.10, P=0.036), glycosylated hemoglobin ( Z=-2.77, P=0.006) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ( Z=-2.99, P=0.003) levels between SVD and TVD groups. Multivariate analysis showed that the high level of blood uric acid ( OR=1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.01, P<0.05) and the low level of HDL-C ( OR=3.29, 95% CI:1.23-8.85, P<0.05) were related risk factors of TVD. Conclusion:High blood uric acid level and low HDL-C level are related factors for TVD in patients with SCAD.

Status quo of hospice care service in community health service centers in Shanghai / 中华全科医师杂志

Objective:To survey the status quo of hospice care service in community health service centers in Shanghai.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the situation of hospice care services from January 2021 to December 2021 in 16 community health service centers selected by stratified sampling from 16 districts in Shanghai.Results:Among 16 community health service centers, 13 provided inpatient hospice care services, 16 provide home hospice care and 14 provided outpatient hospice care services; and totally 1 935 (77.93%), 158 (6.36%) and 390 (15.71%) patients received palliative care, respectively. In centers providing inpatient hospice care service, the average bed number was 12 (10, 20); the annual number of patients was 58 (29, 137); the average length of hospital stay was (29.55±11.18) days; and the bed occupancy rate was (55.51±30.02)%, which in urban districts was significantly higher than that in rural districts ((74.76±19.33)% vs.(39.00±28.32)%; t=2.61, P=0.024). The number of patients receiving home hospice care in each center was 10 (3, 19) and the average duration of home service was (66.97±29.41) days. The proportion of physician fee of inpatient hospice care and that of home hospice care were (8.61±5.27)% and (6.25±3.11)%, respectively. While the proportion of medication expenses of inpatient hospice care and that of home hospice care were (35.60±16.13)% and(49.58±9.16)%, respectively. The outpatient hospice service were opened 2.0 (1.0, 4.0) days a week in 14 centers and 95 (58, 199) patients received services. Inpatient services were mainly provided for the patients with non-malignant chronic diseases (53.23%, 1 030/1 935), while home hospice care (89.87%, 142/158) and outpatient hospice care (83.85%, 327/390) mainly provided service for malignant patients. Conclusion:There is still room for improvement about the hospice care services delivered by community health service centers in Shanghai:discrepancy of utilization of hospice care services between urban districts and rural districts, low utilization of home and outpatient hospice care services, unreasonable cost composition in inpatient and home hospice care services.

Progress in breakthrough cancer pain management / 中华全科医师杂志

Pain is one of the most frightening and unbearable symptoms in cancer patients, approximately 80% of patients with advanced cancer have pain, and a systematic review shows that the prevalence of breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) was 59.2%. Breakthrough pain often has a significant negative effect on quality of life of patients, which is related to a direct effect (suffering) and an indirect effect (interference with activities of daily living). Clinical management of BTcP is still not satisfactory despite the availability of various effective pain relief agents. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current situation of the management of BTcP at home and abroad, and to discuss the factors that hinder the management of BTcP.

Objective:To compare the breadth of condition coverage, accuracy of suggested conditions and appropriateness of urgency advice of the 8 symptom assessment mobile applications (APPs) available on the Chinese market.Methods:The APPs were assessed using 200 primary care vignettes and were measured against the vignettes′ standard. The primary outcome measures were proportion of conditions covered by an APP, proportion of vignettes with the correct primary diagnosis,and proportion of safe urgency advice.Results:For APPs assessed,condition-coverage was from 29.0%(58/200)to 99.5%(199/200), top-3 suggestion accuracy was from 8.5%(17/200) to 61.5%(123/200), the proportion of safe urgency advice was from 84.8%(167/197) to 99.5% (198/199).Conclusions:The APPs showed a wide range of coverage, safety performance and condition-suggestion accuracy. Symptom assessment APPs with good performance could be used by general practitioners as supporting tools. However, even symptom assessment APPs with excellent performance need to be further assessed in a real clinical environment.

Status quo and influencing factors of work stress among hospice care physicians and nurses / 中华全科医师杂志

Objective:To investigate the work stress and its influencing factors among hospice care physicians and nurses in medical institutions in Shanghai.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. The study was carried out between December 2021 and January 2022. By use of multistage random sampling, 256 hospice care physicians and nurses were selected from community healthcare centers, secondary and tertiary hospitals in Shanghai to attend a WeChat-based survey using a self-designed questionnaire. The chi-square test was used to compare the differences in prevalence of work stress and stressors among all subjects with different characteristics. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the major determinants associated with work stress. And the sources of work stress and the expepectd decompression countermeasures were investigated.Results:A total of 256 valid questionnaires were collected with a recovery rate of 100.0%. The median of work stress score was 7.5 (6.0, 9.0). Logistic regression analysis showed that those aged>40 years old and working for ≥5 years in hospice care service had higher level of work stress ( OR=3.78, 2.04; P=0.007, 0.039), and those with monthly income>10 000 RMB Yuan had lower level of work stress ( OR=0.34, P=0.005). The top three stressors were the death of patients (88.3%, 226/256), low income (78.1%, 200/256), difficulty in promotion (67.2%, 172/256). The top three way that doctors and nurses desired to reduce work stress were to increase income (88.3%, 226/256) and optimize performance appraisal target (78.1%, 200/256) and promotion mechanism (66.0%, 169/256). Conclusions:In general, the work stress among hospice care physicians and nurses is at a high level in Shanghai and the stressors are widely distributed. Age, monthly salary and years of working in hospice care unit are independent factors of work stress. Improving salary, optimizing performance appraisal target and promotion mechanism are the most desired strategies to reduce work stress among hospice care physicians and nurses.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of pain management for cancer patients in hospice care wards of community health service centers.Methods:The electronic medical records of 373 cancer patients admitted in hospice wards of Kangjian Community Health Center of Xuhui District and Jinshanwei Town Community Health Center of Jinshan District from January 2015 to July 2021 were collected. The characteristics of cancer pain, the use of analgesic drugs, the effects of analgesic drugs and its influencing factors were analyzed.Results:The incidence of cancer pain in 373 patients was 93.0% (347/373), and the proportion of moderate to severe cancer pain was 55.6% (193/347). Analgesics were used in 304 patients, among whom 233 (76.6%) patients used oral analgesics, 297 (97.7%) used on time, 97.6%(285/292) used sustained-release opioids, and 94 (30.9%) used combinedly. Breakout pain occurred in 100 cases (32.9%), all of which was controlled with immediate-release morphine. Cancer pain was not relieved in 132 cases (43.42%), and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the pain degree on admission (moderate: OR=3.69, 95 %CI:2.09-6.49; severe: OR=5.52, 95 %CI:2.43-12.53), the presence of burst pain ( OR=3.28, 95 %CI:1.77-6.06), the type of analgesics used (non-steroidal+weak opioids: OR=0.39, 95 %CI:0.20-0.76; nonsteroidal+strong opioids: OR=0.20, 95 %CI:0.08-0.51) and the adverse reactions ( OR=1.92, 95 %CI:1.03-3.60) were the influencing factors of pain relief in cancer pain patients (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The pain of cancer patients admitted to community palliative care wards cannot be ignored. Although most cancer pain patients use analgesic drugs in a standard way, there are still a high proportion of patients whose pain is not controlled. Various factors affect the effect of analgesic treatment.

Research advances on the correlation between gut microbiota and depression / 中华全科医师杂志

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a type of mood disorder characterized by a significant and persistent group of depressive symptoms. Gut microbiota may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of MDD. It has been found that the gut microbiota composition of MDD patients is significantly different from that of healthy controls, and depression phenotype can be transferred to rodents by fecal microbiota transplantation. Nevertheless, the mechanism of gut microbiota dysbiosis contributing to depression is complicated, and it is currently accepted that the microbiota-gut-brain axis is a crucial part. A set of probiotics and prebiotics have been found to have antidepressant properties, and related microbial therapies are expected to become an important method for treating depression and other mental diseases in the future.
