To Stay or Not to Stay: Issues in Rural Primary Care Physician Retention in Eastern Kentucky

An important aspect of primary care physician availability is the retention of physicians once they have located. While retention has been under-researched compared to recruitment, it is especially important in rural areas where physician shortages already exist. This study reports the results of a retention survey completed by 132 primary care physicians in rural eastern Kentucky. The survey sets up an objective, hypothetical retention scenario and asks physicians to respond to structured questions and to an open-ended question about factors not appearing in the survey. In response to the structured portion of the survey, physicians indicate that relief coverage is the most important factor in rural physician retention. A content analysis of 75 open-ended responses reveals that besides the other factors in the survey, "sociocultural integration" is the pre-eminent retention issue for rural practitioners. This article concludes that the role of the local rural community may be more important in retention than in recruitment. Finally, it is suggested that additional in-depth qualitative research be conducted within the local contexts to enhance the understanding of rural physician retention processes.     

神经生长因子对老年退变性膝骨关节炎疼痛模型的影响

目的:探讨体外模型评价神经生长因子(nerve growth factor,NGF)抗体在膝骨关节炎(knee osteoarthritis,KOA)疼痛模型中的作用。方法:选取30只8周龄雄性SPF大鼠,分为空白组10只;其余20只行右膝关节单碘乙酸 (monoiodoacetate,MIA) 注射,制备骨性关节炎疼痛模型。造模成功后,再根据干预方法不同分为对照组(生理盐水腹腔注射)、治疗组(抗NGF 腹腔注射),每组10只。所有动物右膝关节进行荧光金 (fluorogold,FG) 逆行神经示踪剂注射。分别在治疗前,治疗后1、2周使用猫道步态分析系统评估步态。治疗后3周,从L₃-L₅水平切除右背根神经节(dorsal root ganglia,DRG),进行降钙素基因相关肽 (calcitonin gene-related peptide,CGRP) 免疫染色,并计算DRG数量。结果:在使用猫道系统的步态分析中,与空白组相比,对照组、治疗组占空比、摆动速度和触地面积比率明显降低(P<0.05);与对照组相比,治疗组占空比、摆动速度明显改善(P<0.05),触地面积比率与空白组比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。对照组中FG标记的DRG神经元数量高于治疗组和空白组(P<0.05);对照组CGRP表达上调,与治疗组比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:腹腔注射抗 NGF抗体抑制了步态损伤和 DRG 神经元中CGRP 的上调。这些发现提示抗神经生长因子治疗可能对治疗膝关节疼痛有价值。NGF可能是治疗KOA疼痛的重要靶点。     

血源乙型肝炎疫苗免疫持久性观察

为了解血源乙型肝炎（乙肝）疫苗的免疫持久性,对澄江县1991～1995年按照0、1、6个月免疫程序完成血源乙肝疫苗接种的人群,按接种后间隔1～5年分组,每组随机抽取100名儿童,采末梢血,共得517份免疫者的血清样品．用酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）检测抗-HBs、HBsAg。结果表明,接种乙肝疫苗2年内抗-HBs阳性率在90％以上,以后随间隔年眼的延长而明显下降,间隔5年降至60％,人群平均保护率达78.57％．

Estrogen replacement therapy among elderly women: results from the 1995 medicare current beneficiary survey

Research Objectives: To develop population-based estimates of estrogen replacement therapy use rates in 1995 among women over age 65 living in the community; to estimate the impact of socioeconomic and health characteristics on estrogen use. Method: Estimates are based on a large, nationally representative sample of Medicare beneficiaries; detailed self-report data were merged with Medicare claims. Results: Overall, 13.1% of women reported use of estrogen replacement therapy in 1995. Estrogen users were more likely to be white, age 65–74, with private insurance, high income, history of osteoporosis and heart problems, no history of breast cancer, and a patient of gynecologists. Conclusions: Estrogen use was substantially lower among the socioeconomically disadvantaged, controlling for medical history variables, suggesting considerable inequity in access to estrogen replacement therapy treatment.     

Public involvement in health care priority setting: an economic perspective

Background  Public involvement in health care decision making and priority setting in the UK is being promoted by recent policy initiatives. In 1993, the British Medical Association called for public consultation where rationing of services was to be undertaken. The approach to priority setting advocated by many health economists is the maximization of quality adjusted life years (QALYs). Typically, for a particular health care programme, the QALY calculation takes account of four features: (1) the number of patients receiving the programme, (2) the survival gain, (3) the gain in quality of life and, (4) the probability of treatment success. Only one feature, that relating to quality of life, is based upon public preferences. If the QALY is to be used as a tool for health care resource allocation at a societal level then it should incorporate broader societal preferences.
Methods  This study used an interview-based survey of 91 members of the general public to explore whether the traditional QALY maximization model is a good predictor of public responses to health care priority setting choices.
Results and conclusions  Many respondents did not choose consistently in line with a QALY maximization objective and were most influenced by quality of life concerns. There was little support for health care programmes that provided a prognostic improvement but left patients in relatively poor states of health. The level of respondent engagement in the survey exercise was not sensitive to the provision of supporting clinical information.
