Complete urethral injury in the penile fracture: a case report and literature review

Penile fracture is described as a traumatic rupture of the tunica albuginea caused by blunt injury to the erect penis. It usually occurs as a single rupture of the tunica albuginea in one of two corpora cavernosa; a rupture with urethral injury is an extremely rare condition. Although its diagnosis is usually clinical, ultrasound plays an important role in confirming diagnosis and identifying the site of the injury. Here, we presented a case of penile fracture with complete urethral injury. A 43-year-old male was admitted to the hospital because of trauma to the genital and dysuria following sexual intercourse. After admission, the patient was diagnosed with double penile fracture and complete urethral injury after the physical and B-ultrasound examinations. Emergency surgery to remove the hematoma and repair the urethra was performed. The patient recovered smoothly and was discharged on the third day after operation. After two months’ follow-up, the patient urinated smoothly and achieved an adequate erection without other complications. In this case, consistent with previous studies, emergency surgery for penile fracture is necessary and can preserve the urethral function and sexual function. In addition, there are two lesions in tunica albuginea in this case, so careful search for the penile shaft during the surgery is important to avoid the missed injuries. This report provides evidence of an uncommon and underreported clinical case.     

Physiological Responses and Phytotoxicities of Lythrum salicaria to Decabromodiphenyl Ether (BDE-209)

Decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209), a member of a major group of brominated flame retardants, is detected in aquatic environments at considerable levels and induces physiological and toxic effects on aquatic plants. In this study, the physiological responses induced by and the toxic effects of BDE-209 at different concentrations (0, 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 mg L⁻¹) in Lythrum salicaria were examined. OJIP transient curves indicated that BDE-209 treatment negatively affected photosystem II (PSII) grouping. Additionally, the results showed that BDE-209 inhibited seedling development and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and antioxidative enzyme activities in the roots and shoots of L. salicaria. The results revealed that BDE-209 exposure contributed to ROS accumulation, which was considered as the probable toxicity mechanism. The current results provided an insight into the development of L. salicaria with high BDE-209 tolerance.

Two immunogenic recombinant protein vaccine candidates showed disparate protective efficacy against Zika virus infection in rhesus macaques

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection has caused major public health problems recently. To develop subunit vaccines for ZIKV, we have previously constructed recombinant ZIKV envelope protein domain III (EDIII), and the entire ectodomain (E80, which comprises EDI, EDII and EDIII), as vaccine candidates and showed both of them being immunogenic and protective in murine models. In this follow-up study, we compared these vaccine candidates in non-human primates. Both of them elicited neutralizing antibody responses, but only E80 immunization inhibited ZIKV infection in both peripheral blood and monkey tissues, whereas EDIII increased blood ZIKV RNA through possibly antibody-dependent enhancement. Further investigations revealed that the virion-binding antibody response in E80 immunized monkeys persisted longer and stronger than in EDIII immunized monkeys. These results demonstrate that E80 is superior to EDIII as a vaccine candidate, and that the magnitude, quality and durability of virion-binding neutralizing antibodies are correlates of protection.

重庆市家庭医生团队成员职业倦怠现状及其影响因素分析

目的 了解家庭医生团队成员的职业倦怠现状,探讨其职业倦怠的影响因素。方法 采用整群随机抽样法,从重庆市8 171支家庭医生团队中随机地选取593支团队的全部成员作为调查对象;采用自行设计的基本情况问卷和李超平等翻译并修订的MBI - GS量表对其进行调查。结果 重庆市家庭医生团队成员职业倦怠阳性检出率为78.9%,其中职业倦怠中等程度8 290例（61.7%）。主城区团队成员职业倦怠阳性6 387例（47.5%）,阳性检出率80.1%;渝东北地区职业倦怠阳性3 628例（27.0%）,阳性检出率77.5%;渝东南地区职业倦怠阳性588例（4.4%）,阳性检出率75.2%。二元logistic回归分析结果显示, 性别、年龄、月收入、编制、岗位、择业主要原因以及地区是职业倦怠的主要影响因素 (P＜0.05)。结论 重庆市家庭医生团队成员的职业倦怠阳性发生率较高,一半以上成员表现为中程度职业倦怠。与其他两大地区比较,主城区职业倦怠阳性检出率最高。相关管理者应针对主要影响因素进行干预,减轻工作压力和紧张感,以缓解职业倦怠感。     

四川省十年新医改历程与成效研究

本研究系统地梳理了四川省新医改的发展历程,总结出四川省十年新医改取得的医疗保障体系建立健全、卫生筹资结构日趋合理、公共卫生服务水平持续增强、医疗卫生资源大幅增加、医疗服务能力进一步加强、医药费用涨幅得到有效控制、药品供应保障机制逐步健全、居民健康水平持续改善等成效。下一步应推进政府治理体系和治理能力现代化,系统、整体、协同推进医改;以医疗卫生领域供给侧改革为主线,建立优质高效的医疗卫生服务体系;深入推进重点领域改革,为健康四川建设奠定健康基础。     

基于重大疫情防控的医防融合策略研究

目的 基于目前疫情防控新形势下提出医防融合的策略建议。方法 分析在疫情防控形势下医防融合的新内涵和主要障碍,并根据疫情防控的现实情况提出相应建议。结果 医防融合的障碍包括:相关法律法规有待完善、医疗机构与疾控机构缺乏有效协调衔接机制、公共卫生人才队伍建设仍需加强、医院未重视公共卫生职能、基层传染病防控基础较薄弱。结论 可从宏观、中观、微观三个层面来进行医防融合。其中,宏观层面包括完善法律法规体系、增强社会氛围;中观层面包括提高医院公共卫生工作积极性、增强基层医疗机构传染病防控能力、促进医防信息的融合;微观层面则关注人员的融合,即提高公共卫生人员地位与待遇、进行医学教育改革,培养“防治结合”型人才、打通疾控与医疗机构人员互通渠道。
