Publication activity of the Russian medicine in focus of national science policy: estimating the feasibility of policy targets A comprehensive review of National research policy papers issued over the past 6 years was carried out. A set of problems concerning the quality of predicted values of some bibliometric indicators reflecting the level of research performance and publication activity that were declared in governmental documents was discussed. Basic metrics of scientific performance that should be required to achieve the goals declared in the recent governmental policy papers including President's Executive Order № 599 of May 7, 2012 (increasing the share of Russian researchers' publications in the total number of publications in international scientific journals indexed in the Web of Science up to 2,44% in 2015). Taking into account the current structure of modern global science in which papers in biomedical subjects make up for approximately one third of the total world scientific output, it becomes obvious how difficult is the governmental task set up to the researchers-to double the number of journal publications indexed in Web of Science in the short-term period of the nearest three years. The priorities and reasonable goal-oriented efforts to meet the targets are proposed in the paper.
An analysis was made of the structure and number of medical workers (doctors and paramedical personnel) of the Moscow healthcare system for the period 2017-2021. The analysis showed that the number of medical full-time positions over the same period increased by 13.6%, and regular positions of nursing staff by 8.9%. The provision of the population (per 10 thousand population) with doctors increased by 13.0% from 35.6 in 2017 to 40.2 in 2021. The provision of the population with nurses decreased by 2.4% from 58.4 in 2017 to 57.0 in 2021. Among medical workers, the number of individual doctors, over the same period, increased by 15.5%, and the number of individuals of paramedical personnel decreased by 3.4%. The staffing of medical rates (by positions), in general, decreased by 2.4% from 82.5 in 2017 to 80.5 in 2021, and the rates of nursing staff decreased by 9.7% from 87.4% in 2017 to 79.0% in 2021. The part-time ratio was 1.1 for medical positions and for positions of paramedical personnel. Issues related to low staffing and the coefficient of part-time employment for individual medical positions and positions of paramedical personnel require further resolution.

Representative images of bioluminescence (BLI) of mice orthotopically injected with BT-549 cells expressing doxycycline inducible shCon or shNEDD9 (shN1) RNAs. shRNA-Day0 represents 2 weeks post injection, before addition of doxycycline chow; shRNA-Day14 is 2 weeks post addition of doxycycline-containing diet. 6 mice/each shRNA (12 mice total). (B). WB (right panel) analysis of primary tumor tissue dissected at shRNA-Day14 with anti-NEDD9, and -GAPDH antibodies. Quantification of sRNA depletion 2 (left panel) from tumors from 3 mice/per shRNA, t-test *p=0.0019. (C). Quantification of tumor growth based on BLI (shRNA-Day0, -Day14) in 3 independent experiments, n=6/group, mean photon flux, +/-S.E.M, two-way ANOVA, p values are non-significant (ns) for shRNA-Day0 (shCon/shN1); *p=0.0007 for shRNA-Day14 (shCon/shN1). (D). Quantification of RFP/luc2/DNA positive tumor cells in peripheral blood of shCon and shNEDD9 (N1) mice at indicated time points, n=6/group. Results are plotted as number of cells per 200μl of blood, +/- S.E.M, two-way ANOVA, ns (shRNA-Day0: shCon/shN1); p<0.001 (shRNA-Day14: shCon/shN1).</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
