Objective:To compare the changing trends and differences of bed numbers,doctor numbers and medical service utilization in the US.and China so as to provide polity implication for the health care reform in China from the supply side.Methods:The data of beds,doctors,hospitalization and outpatient service utilization from the website of OECD and CDC of the United States as well as Chinese Statistical Yearbook of Health and Family Planning were used to describe the trends.Results:The beds per 1000 people in China had exceeded that of the US,while the doctors per 1 000 people in China was less than the US.Both the two countries had yearly increasing trend of outpatient visits.However,the hospitalization was decreasing in the US,while the growth rate of hospitalization was even higher than the outpatient visits in China.Conclusion:The decrease of bed amount and the increase of outpatient amount were the main changing trend of medical resources and service utilization in the US.The imbalanced structure of medical resource supply in China resulted the overuse of hospitalization services.In the supply side reform of medical reform in China,it suggested to promote the cooperation of medical insurance,drug and health care,adjusted the reform thought from resource amount into the promotion of service quality,changed the health management system from disease centered into health centered.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of the changes in serum CA125 level during chemotherapy post-surgery in patients with advaneed epithelial ovarian carcinoma.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 142 patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ epithelial ovarian carcinoma who had primary treatment in the Cancer Center of the Sun Yat-sen University during January 1998 to December 2003.The changes in CA125 levels during chemotherapy post-surgery in patients were analyzed.The survival outcomes of patients with various levels of CA125 were studied using Kaplan-Meier method.Multivariate Cox regression model Wag used to aggess the correlations between survival and the change in CA125 level during chemotherapy and other prognostic factors.Results The 3-year overall survival(OS)was 64%,71%,and 64%respectively in patients with different pretreatment CA125 levels(≤500,>500-1500 and>1500 kU/L;P>0.05).The CA125 level was normalized(0-35 kU/L)in 77(54.2%)patients after three cycles of postoperative chemotherapy.It revealed significant differences in 3-year OS(84%vs.42%)and 5-year OS(56%vs.15%)between the patients with normalized and elevated CA125 levels(n=48)after three cycles of chemothempy(P<0.01).Multivariate analysis showed that residual tumor size>1 cm(P<0.01)and elevated CA125 after three-cycle postoperative chemotherapies(P<0.01)were two independent factors related to survival.In the subgroup of optimal cytoreduction(residual tumor size≤1 cm),the 3-year and 5-year OS rate were 88%and 64%for patients with normalized CA125 level after three cycles of chemotherapy respectively,while only 52%and 18%for patients with elevated CA125 level(P<0.01).Similarly,even in the suboptimal cytoreduction group,the 3-year and 5-year OS were also significantly increased for patients with normalized CA125 level after three cycles of chemotherapy post-surgery,as compared with patients with elevated CA125 level(74%vs.33%in 3-year OS,32%vs.13%in 5-year OS;P<0.01).Conclusions CA125 level after three cycles of chemotherapy post-surgery is an independent predictor of survival for advanced ovarian carcinoma.Whatever the patients undergo,optimal or suboptimal cytoreduction,ifthe CA125 becomes normalized after three cycles of chemotherapy,they would have more favorable prognosis than those with elevated CA125 after three cycles of chemotherapy.

Objective To discuss effect of intellectual training on cognitive function, daily life ac-tivity and life quality of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Methods We used clinical dementia rating (CDR) scale to selecf 38 patients with mild to median degree of Alzheimer's disease.Intellectual training was carried out for 1 year and at the same time their family members took part in it and dietary instruction was given. Mini-mental state examination (MMSE), information-memory-concentration test (IMCT) and activity of daily living scale (ADL) were used as evaluation tools before and after training. Results The patients' degree of defect before training was not different from that of within the first three months after training (P＞0.05),but greatly alleviated 6 months and one year later (P＜ 0.05,P＜ 0.01 ). Conclusions Beneficial intellectual training could improve the cognitive function of patients with Alzheimer's disease.It alleviated their symptom,prolonged the process of dementia and increase the living and life quality of them.
