Scope of practice of Japanese primary care physicians and its associated factors: a cross-sectional study by Toshiyuki Ojima, Machiko Inoue, Mieko Nakamura, Tomoya Higuchi

“…Preference for broad practice was the strongest factor associated with a broader SOP, followed by completion of the Japan Medical Association (JMA) primary care training programme and rotational training experience. Additionally, younger physician age, rural practice experience, surgical specialisation, a larger number of physicians in the clinic, higher patient volume and a more rural setting were associated with broader SOP.Conclusion Physician preference regarding SOP, completion of the JMA primary care training programme and rotational training are key factors influencing SOP. …”

Confronting the anxiety of Generation Z: electroacupuncture therapy regulates oxidative stress and microglia activity in amygdala-basolateral of socially isolated mice by Tong Yin, Junyun Yuan, Lu Liu, Yinxin Wang, Yuanfang Lin, Kangwen Ming, Hang Lv

“…This study aims to elucidate the role of microglial cells in anxiety, specifically examining how EA modulates microglial morphology and function within the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in the context of anxiety induced by social isolation.MethodsUtilizing a mouse model of social isolation-induced anxiety, we evaluated anxiety-like behaviors through the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) and Open Field Test (OFT). Additionally, biochemical analyses and immunofluorescence imaging were performed to assess the expression of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), microglial activation markers, and levels of oxidative stress.ResultsOur findings reveal that EA treatment significantly mitigates anxiety-like behaviors in mice, correlating with a reduction in NOX2 expression within BLA microglia and decreased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). …”
