The quality of the cost accounting in Military Hospital directly affects the hospital economic benefit and also affects the rivalrousness of the hospital. In this article,the reacquainting about the system of the medical cost accounting and the strengthening of the audit about the medical cost accounting are discussed.

Cost accounting is an important measure in hospital economic management.This article approaches the problems and their causes in cost accounting in army hospitals in terms of the correlation between income and cost,the normality of asset management,the accuracy of internal service cost,the advancedness of cost accounting techniques and so on.It also proposes a some corresponding countermeasures based on our work experience.

Objective To explore the value of applying flipped classroom in human parasitology. Methods Totally 430 students of 5-year program were divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental class received human parasitology teaching through flipped classroom teaching mode, while the control class received traditional teaching. The effect of teaching was evaluated by questionnaire and examination. The data were analyzed through t-test. Result Meanwhile, statistical difference was found in aver age score of total between experiment group and control group [(68.2 ±8.6) vs. (66.6 ±11.0), P=0.032]. There was also statistical difference in average score of comprehensive analysis [(16.4±3.2) vs. (16.1 ±3.9), P=0.038]. Questionnaire survey of satisfaction showed that 191 students of experimental class (90.95%) felt new teaching mode could improve autonomous learning ability, 199 students (94.76%) in-creased interest in learning;185 students (88.10%) had more interactive with teachers, 178 students (84.76%) enhanced cooperation between st udents, 186 students (88.57%) approved of small group discussion learning and 165 students (78.57%) had no extra burden. Conclusion Flipped classroom teaching mode can improve students' autonomous learning ability and cultivate their abilities of independent thinking, cooperation, criti-cism, innovation, analyzing and solving problems. Thus this new teaching mode is worthy of reference and popularization.

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture plus Chinese herbal medication on plasma endothelin (ET-1) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in child patients with mesenteric lymphadenitis.Methods One hundred and eighty child patients with mesenteric lymphadenitis were randomly allocated to groups A, B and C, 60 cases each. Group A received acupuncture at Zusanli and pricking Sifeng points plus oral administration of Wudang Babao Zijinding; group B, oral administration of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium granules; group C, oral administration of Wudang Babao Zijinding alone. ET-1 and CGRP contents were measured in the three groups before and after treatment.Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in ET-1 and CGRP contents in group A (P<0.01). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in ET-1 and CGRP contents between group A and group B or C (P<0.01).Conclusions Acupuncture plus Chinese herbal medication is an effective way to treat mesenteric lymphadenitis in children. It can regulate ET-1 and CGRP in the patients.

Objective To analyze the change of cysteinyl leukotriene ( Cys-LTs) levels and 8-Isopros-tane (8-iso-PG) levels in the exhaled breath condensate (EBC) of asthmatic children from acute exacerbation to clinical remission, and investigate the role of the detection of Cys-LTs and 8-iso-PG in EBC in its severity and pathogenesis , and explore the relationship between the Cys-LTs and 8-iso-PG through measuring Cys-LTs levels and 8-iso-PG levels in the EBC of asthmatic children. Methods The outpatient or inpatient asthmatic children of the pediatrics and a group of healthy children were studied. All subjects′ EBC were collected by the R-Tube produced by American Respiratory Research. The concentration of Cys-LTs and 8-iso-PG in EBC were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and compared among children in asthmatic exacerbation, asthmatic remission, and healthy condition. The relevance of their change would be explored at the same time. Results (1) Cys-LTs levels in EBC were higher in asthma exacerbation, compared to healthy controls (P<0. 05), while no significant difference were found between asthmatic remission and asthmatic exacerbation or healthy controls ( P>0. 05 ) . ( 2 ) 8-iso-PG levels was higher in asthmatic exacerbation compared to asth-matic remission ( P<0. 05 ) . Moreover, the 8-iso-PG levels were significantly higher in asthmatic remission than in healthy controls (P<0. 05). (3) Through the relevance analysis of the Cys-LTs and 8-iso-PG levels in EBC among the three groups, Cys-LTs levels in EBC of asthmatic exacerbation significantly were correlated with 8-iso-PG levels (n1 =35, r1 =0. 61, P<0. 05), while there was no significant correlation between 8-iso-PG levels and Cys-LTs levels in asthmatic remission. Conclusion The increase of 8-iso-PG levels in EBC of bronchial asthmatic patients correlates with the disease and its control. Therefore, 8-iso-PG can be an objective indicator for asthmatic diagnosis and healing efficacy. Cy-LTs levels increase in the EBC of bronchial asthmatic according to disease severity. The two levels correlate during asthmatic exacerbation, indicating that a link be-tween airway oxidative stress and inflammation among asthmatics.

In order to fulfill the new requirement of educational and teaching reform in the new era, the Teaching and Research Section of Parasitology in Guangxi Medical University have constructed online courses of Parasites Invasion— Human Parasitology on the platform of Xueyin Online, providing resources in professional learning and general education. In the construction concept, we recombine teaching content to give consideration to both scientificity and interest. In terms of the curriculum content, the curriculum includes micro lecture, PPT, in-lass quiz, case analysis and other diversified teaching resources. In the curriculum management, teachers interact with students in real time with the help of various functions of the platform to fully play the role of supervision. In the assessment, teachers pay attention to students' learning process and carry out comprehensive evaluation. Since the online course was put into operation, good teaching effects has been achieved.

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether the ethanol extract of Herpetospermum caudigerum Wall (EHC), a Xizang medicinal plant traditionally used for treating liver diseases, can improve imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining were used to determine the effects of topical EHC use in vivo on the skin pathology of imiquimod-induced psoriasis in mice. The protein levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-17A (IL-17A) in mouse skin samples were examined using immunohistochemical staining. In vitro, IFN-γ-induced HaCaT cells with or without EHC treatment were used to evaluate the expression of keratinocyte-derived intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and chemokine CXC ligand 9 (CXCL9) using Western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide and proteasome inhibitor MG132 were utilized to validate the EHC-mediated mechanism underlying degradation of ICAM-1 and CXCL9. RESULTS: EHC improved inflammation in the imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse model and reduced the levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and IL-17A in psoriatic lesions. Treatment with EHC also suppressed ICAM-1 and CXCL9 in epidermal keratinocytes. Further mechanistic studies revealed that EHC suppressed keratinocyte-derived ICAM-1 and CXCL9 by promoting ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated protein degradation rather than transcriptional repression. Seven primary compounds including ehletianol C, dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol, herpetrione, herpetin, herpetotriol, herpetetrone and herpetetrol were identified from the EHC using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry. CONCLUSION Topical application of EHC ameliorates psoriasis-like skin symptoms and improves the inflammation at the lesion sites.
