1.Analysis on the Impact of Resource Allocation on Basic Public Health Service Provided by Township Health Centers
Chinese Health Economics 2013;(11):44-46
Objective: To describe the status of the basic public health service in township health centers, analyze the resource allocation which influences the supply of basic public health service. Methods: The data is based on monitoring project surveys collected by the health statistical information center, Spss13.0 and Excellare applied to make descriptive statistic analysis. Results:Overall, basic public health service has been carried out well in each area, but there are differences among the application rates of different basic public health service items; basic public health service can be effected by the level of basic public health input and the number of public health workers.

As an important resource for a country to participate in international high-tech competition in the bio-pharma-ceutical field, clinical research resources play a key role in the multi-center clinical research and the translation from basic research to clinical practice.China has a large population and diverse diseases, but chinical disease research relevant policies and regulations are imperfect.In contrast, the United States has perfect laws and regulations related to clinical research.By comparatively analyzing the disease resource, platform support and regulatory environment between China and the U.S., this article offers suggestions on the development of clinical research resources so as to facilitate the clinical research in China.
5. Medicinal plants of Chinese Pharmacopoeia and Daodi: Insights from phylogeny and biogeography
Chinese Herbal Medicines 2018;10(3):269-278
Objective: The Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015) includes 584 plant medicines, of which 284 also contain high quality subsets, so called “Daodi” components, where Daodi denotes superior clinical properties compared to non-Daodi counterparts despite being sourced from the same species. Commercial and clinical drivers of selection for Daodi have been described elsewhere. Our objective is to investigate the overall composition of Daodi to determine in what ways medicines with Daodi as a whole differ from the other plants of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. A further objective is to characterise the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and Daodi in terms of the plant species including their traits and distribution. Methods: We used trait analysis to identify whether Daodi species were significantly different from the remaining Chinese Pharmacopoeia plant species in any traits. We used biogeographic methods and an existing classification of Daodi into 10 regions to identify spatial patterns amongst the species. Regression and binomial analyses were used to test for over- and under-use of plant families and endemic species. Preferences for lineages were visualized using phylogenetic mapping. Results: We found that Daodi species (species with any Daodi subset) were more likely to be roots that are “hot” or “warm” and less likely to be “oxic” according to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concepts. Roots were over-represented in the Bei region, and whole plants over-represented in Guang. Both the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and Daodi indicated preferences for families not common in previously studied ethnopharmacopoeias, and fewer endemic species were represented than expected by chance. Conclusion: Using the phylogenetic and biogeographical methods, we highlighted patterns of plant use, and the biological characters of Daodi medicinal plants. Our study points towards cultural preferences in need of scientific explanation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and promising applications of percutaneous transhepatic lymphosonography in detecting sentinel lymph nodes(SLNs).Methods Twenty five rabbits with VX2 tumor were included in this study.0.05 ml SonoVue was injected into the liver parenchyma at 12,3,6,9 points around the VX2 tumor.The situation of contrast-enhanced lymph-vessel emited from injected point and lymph nodes in hepatic portal or around tumor was observed,and then the position of the lymph nodes were detected with the help of the mark on the surface of the portal vein,caput pancreatis,collum vesicae biliaris.Methylene blue (MB) was injected in the same way as above.The injected points were massaged for five minutes,and then executed the experimental rabbits.The lymph nodes enhanced and all the lymph node dyed or not were taked out for recorded and pathologic examination.Results 34 SLNs were conformed by operation and pathological diagnosis in all the rabbits.All SLNs were confirmed pathologically,28 lymph nodes which were checked out by percutaneous transhepatic lymphosonography were all SLNs.In all the 31 lymph nodes which were checked out by MB,25 lymph nodes were SLNs and the rest were the second degree lymph nodes.The detection rate of percutaneous transhepatic lymphosonography (82.4%) and the MB (91.2%) showed no significant difference(P =0.169).There were 6 SLNs enhanced uniformitily in which 2 SLNs encroach by cancer cell and 22 enhanced asymmetrically in which 21 SLNs encroach by cancer cell.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of percutaneous transhepatic lymphosonography to detcect the SLNs benign or malignancy was 95.5% (21/28),66.7%(4/6) and 89.3 % (25/28).Conclusions Percutaneous transhepatic lymphosonography is a reliable and noninvasive method to detect and estimate the SLNs of hepatic cancer.

Objective This study is undertaken to evaluate the changes of serum cytokine levels in different stages of collagen induced arthritis(CIA)rats,to search for the specific proteins related with rheuma- toid arthritis(RA)pathogenesis and inflammation,and to explore the mechanism of RA pathogenesis.Methods Rat cytokine antibody array coated with 19 specific cytokine antibodies was used to examine serum samples at peak and late stage of CIA rats,and were compared to normal cytokine levels.At the same time,ELISA assay for serum TNF-?production was used to verify the array results.Results Among the target cytokines,10 up- regulating cytokines were kept in high expression in different phases of disease,while 1 showed significant change only at the peak of disease.There was no downregnlating cytokines in the results.Serum TNF-?assay results were consistent to the array results.Conclusion Cytokines show different expression in CIA at differ- ent stages,and specific cytokines can be used as the candidates to further study of the RA pathogenesis.This study also provides molecular makers for early diagnosis.
