AI Article Synopsis
- - This study examines the job mobility and employment status of Chinese pharmacy graduates from Kunming Medical University, highlighting the importance of understanding their career decisions in light of China's growing healthcare sector.
- - An online survey of 231 graduates revealed that most (52.4%) had not changed jobs, with a preference for governmental positions, while income and personal growth significantly influenced career moves.
- - The findings indicate that graduates in government roles tend to have lower job mobility compared to those in pharmacy enterprises, and personal growth was notably important for those who frequently changed jobs.
Article Abstract
Background: This study investigates the career mobility and employment status of Chinese pharmacy graduates, aiming to address workforce challenges and career planning within the pharmacy profession. Given the rapid expansion of the healthcare sector in China, understanding factors influencing job changes and career decisions is crucial for ensuring workforce stability and professional development. The study covers pharmacy graduates enrolled at Kunming Medical University from 1996 to 2012.
Methods: A cross-sectional online survey collected data from 231 respondents in April 2022, focusing on demographic characteristics, career choices, job changes, and the factors influencing these decisions. Multivariate logistic regression and Chi-square (χ²) tests were used to analyze the data, with a particular focus on the pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical sciences, and clinical pharmacy.
Results: Of the 231 respondents, 52.4% (n = 121) had never changed jobs, and 32.5% (n = 75) had changed jobs once or twice. The majority preferred working in governmental institutions (n = 146, 63.2%), with fewer graduates choosing domestic (n = 48, 20.8%) or overseas pharmacy enterprises (n = 20, 8.7%). Income and personal growth were significant factors influencing job changes (p < 0.05). Respondents who had changed jobs three or more times placed a greater emphasis on personal growth (Relative Risk Ratio [RRR]: 2.96; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: [1.6, 5.49]).
Conclusions: This study reveals significant variations in job mobility and career choices among Chinese pharmacy graduates. Graduates in governmental institutions showed lower mobility, while those in pharmacy enterprises and non-pharmaceutical sectors experienced higher job changes. Income, personal growth, and work environment were key factors.

In Nature, bacterial clustering by host-released peptides or nucleic acids is an evolutionarily conserved immune defense strategy employed to prevent adhesion of pathogenic microbes, which is prerequisite for most infections. Synthetic anti-adhesion strategies present as non-lethal means of targeting bacteria and may potentially be used to avoid resistance against antimicrobial therapies. From bacteria-agglutinating biomolecules discovered in nature to synthetic designs involving peptides, cationic polymers and nanoparticles, the modes of actions appear broad and unconsolidated.

Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) regulates multiple protein functions by catalyzing the oxidation, reduction, and isomerization of disulfide bonds. The enzyme is considered a potential target for treating thrombosis. We previously developed a potent PDI inhibitor, CPD, which contains the propiolamide as a warhead targeting cysteine residue in PDI.

Dengue-related ocular complications were considered rare, but recent evidence points to a broader spectrum of manifestations, including uveitis. This study utilized the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) to investigate the incidence of uveitis in dengue patients, aiming to fill this research gap. This population-based, retrospective cohort study utilized the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) and included patients with and without Dengue fever.

Background: Given the rapid increase in the prevalence of prostate cancer (PCa), identifying its risk factors and developing suitable risk prediction models has important implications for public health. We used machine learning (ML) approach to screen participants with high risk of PCa and, specifically, investigated whether participants with metabolic syndrome (MetS) exhibited an elevated PCa risk.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed with 41,837 participants in South Korea.
