Objective:To review methodology of medicine price index methodology and provide methodological implications for empirical researches. Methods:Based on the recent original home and abroad researches, the price index formulas, the medicine product definition, price and quantity units were introduced in this paper together with their merit/demerit and different selections’ measurement bias. Results: The measurement results were significantly different along with selections of the different weighted price index formulas. The medicine product definition and the price/quantity units in the formulas were different as well. By taking into account the new products entry and the ol-der ones exit updating issue, and by considering the products quality changes issue can also have an important empir-ical implication for the price measurement. Conclusions:The medicine price index methods need to be deeply devel-oped and the researchers should devote to further research and perform accurate measurement. In the empirical analy-sis, researchers can use different methods to measure the medicine price index in order to more accurately reflect the medicine price level change.

Objective To explore the relationship between platelet activating factors and four platelet parameters in diabetic retinopathy (DR).Methods Eighty patients in our hospital were chosen from January 2015 to December 2015,regular ophthalmological examination and fundus fluorescence were performed on all cases.On the basis of international clinical diabetic retinopathy classification standard,the patients were divided into four groups:No DR group with 20 cases,non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) group with 20 cases,and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group with 20 cases.20 healthy people who received physical examination during the same period were recruited as the control group.The flow cytometry instrument was used to determinate platelet activating factor CD62p and CD63,automatic blood analyzer was used to determinate platelet parameter which including blood platelet count (PLT),mean platelet volume (MPV),plateletcrit (PCT) and platelet distribution width (PDW),and the changes of platelet activation factor,parameters and its clinical significance in DR were discussed.Results With the development of DR,CD62p,CD63,MVP were numerical gradually increased,and PLT were numerical gradually reduced,the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05);Compared with control group,CD62p,CD63,MVP were increased and PLT were reduced in other group,the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05);Compared with pure diabetes group,CD62p,CD63,MVP were increased and PLT were reduced in NPDR group and PDR group,the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05);Compared with NPDR group,CD62p,CD63,MVP were increased and PLT were reduced in PDR group,the differences were statistically significant(all P ＜ 0.05).PDW were numerical gradually increased in control group,pure diabetes group,NPDR group,PDR group,the differences were statistically significant(all P ＜ 0.05);Control group compared with pure diabetes group,NPDR group compared with PDR group,the differences in PDW was not statistical significant (all P ＞ 0.05);But compared with control group or pure diabetes group,PDW of NPDR group and PDR group increased,the differences were statistically significant(all P ＜ 0.05).The differences in PCT among groups was not statistically significant(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The platelet activating factor CD62p,CD63 and parameters of platelet show differences in each diabetic retinopathy period,platelet activating factor in the occurrence and development of diabetic retinopathy have important significance.Monitor the platelet activating factor and parameters of platelet can help surveillance of the disease.

Objective] To explore the clinical experience of Ma Weiming in the treatment of insomnia.[Method] By following the teacher clinic, the author summarizes chief physician Ma Weiming’s academic experience of treatment of insomnia with classical prescriptions. [Results] In Ma Weiming's opinion, everything harasses the heart, mind vacillation, inducing liver ’s function of storing soul abnormal, the spirit restless is due to insomnia with much dream. So teacher Ma pays attention to “dream diagnosis”.The treatment of insomnia must be combined with heart and liver, making the mind quiet and the liver comfortable. He likes using flowers to balance Qi. In Ma Weiming's opinion, collaterals are invaded by prolonged illness, due to blood stasis. The treatment should use insect drugs to dispell wind and remove obstruction in the meridians, purifying orifices, promoting sleep. [Conclusion] According to the etiology of insomnia to distinguish among different dreams, teacher Ma uses classical prescriptions and combines with his own unique clinical experience on treating insomnia, which has significant effect and worth generalizing.

Our department treated one case of neonatal congenital cyst of tongue in March 23, 2015. The clinical manifestation of the case is mainly laryngeal stridor after birth 10d, and when infants were associated with progressive dysphagia. Electrolaryngoscope examination showed the goitre look like the cyst of tongue. Laryngeal CT scanning showed tongue lesions, consider the possibility of large cyst. Bilateral thyroid gland showed good, and no obvious abnormality was found in the cervical ultrasonography. The children was transferred to the ear-nose-throat department for excision of cyst of tongue by low-temperature plasma knife, and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of cyst of tongue.

ObjectiveTo analyze the effects of three different display devices on the interpretation of imaging data in medieal imaging system.MethodsThe luminance-meter L100 and the test patterns provided by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine(AAPM)were used to assess the performance of three display devices(the spherical,flat panel and liquid crystal display devices).The corresponding luminance response was compared with the reference criteria provided by AAPM Task Group 18(AAPM TG18).DR chest photography was taken on CDRAD2.0 contrast-detail phantom using the following experimental parameters:100 mA,80 kVp,and the exposure times for 6,10,12,and 16 ms.After each exposure,the surface dose of phantom was recorded and the image quality factor(IQF)was calculated.Statistical analysis of IQF was performed using ANOVA. ResultsThe maximum luminance values in the spherical,flat panel and liquid crystal display devices were 170,59 and 231 cd/m2 and the luminance ratio was 257, 99 and 350 respectively.There was a significant difference in the IQF bewteen the liquid crystal display device and other two display devices.Conclusion The liquid crystal display device has the better image quality.

Objective To investigate the effects of substrate stiffness on the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVEC) during dengue virus infection.Methods Polyacrylamide gels were prepared for cell culture [(0±4) kPa].The proliferation of HUVEC cultured on substrates with differ-ent stiffness was determined by using 3-(4,5-diethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfo-phenyl)-2H-etrazolium,inner salt ( MTS) assay.The cycle and apoptosis of HUVEC were determined by flow cytometry analysis.Dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) strains were propagated and identified by con-ventional assays.The HUVEC were infected with DENV-2 strains at a MOI of 10 and cultured on traditional plastic and hydrogel substrates, respectively.The levels of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were detected by nitric acid reductase assay and double antibody sandwich ELISA.Results Young′s modulus E value of the hydrogels was (3030 ±0.44) Pa.The proliferation of HUVEC and the expression of NO and ET-1 were enhanced along the increased substrate stiffness.However, no significant differences with the cell cycle and apoptosis were observed between cells cultured on different substrates.Conclusion The stiffness of substrates affected not only the proliferation of HUVEC, but also the release of cytokines during DENV-2 infection.The development of dengue fever was associated with the decreased secretion of vascular active substances as a result of blood vessel injury.The establishment of hydrogel substrates as the model of vascu-lar basement membranes might provide a new way for the in vitro investigation of the pathogenesis of DENV infection.
