Objective To find out the general status about the traditional Chinese medicine therapies that were included into medicare among the selected hospitals in the country's public hospital reform project, and to investigate the reasons for those not included and make recommendations.Methods Collecting relevant information through questionnaires, experts interviews and discussions.Results There are still some TCM therapies not included into the range of reimbursement.Most Of them are external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, special treatments of traditional Chinese medicine and comprehensive therapies of TCM.Conclusions The establishment of negotiations department about medicare in the field of traditional Chinese medicine was needed.Medicare should be in favor of TCM therapies, and traditional Chinese medicine hospitals should strengthen training of personnel and hiring.At the same time, a reasonable increase of the proportion of TCM experts involved in the making health insurance directory was needed.

Objective To investigate the effect of MS-275, an histone deacetylase ( HDAC ) inhibitor, on acute liver failure ( ALF ) induced by D-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide in mice. Methods Thirty specific pathogen free (SPF) C57BL/6 male mice were randomly and equally divided into control, ALF model and MS-275 groups. ALF model was induced by D-galactosamine ( D-Gal ) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the mice in MS-275 group received MS-275 (1 mg/kg) at 2 h before the induction of ALF.Serum and liver samples of mice were obtained at 24 h after ALF induction.The serum levels of ALT, AST, TBil and tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-α) , interferon γ( IFNγ) , interleukin ( IL )-1β, high mobility group box 1 ( HMGB1 ) were tested by biochemical methods or ELISA kit, respectively.The expression of HDAC1, HDAC3, acetylation of histone H3, H4, P65, acetylation and phosphorylation of P65 in liver were detected by Western blotting.The changes of histology in liver was detected by HE staining, and the translocation of P65 in liver was detected by immunohistochemistry. Comparison of variables among the groups was performed using t test.Results MS-275 inhibited the infiltration of inflammatory cells and improved the pathological changes of liver tissue.Compared with ALF group, serum ALT, AST, TBil levels were decreased in MS-275 group ( t =-22.215, -11.914 and-12.160, all P<0.05), but still higher than those in the control group (t=14.852, 11.692 and 8.333, all P<0.05); serum TNF-α, IFNγ, IL-1β, HMGB1 levels were also significantly decreased in MS-275 group (t=-7.926, -3.427, -2.475 and -5.920, all P<0.05), but TNF-αand IFNγwere still higher than those in the control group (t=5.541 and 5.514, all P<0.05).Compared with control group, the expression of class I HDAC in liver tissue was significantly decreased in MS-275 group ( t=-3.676 and-10.576, P<0.05), while the expressions of acetylation of histone H3, H4 and P65 were significantly increased (t=3.976, 5.559 and 4.588, all P<0.05).MS-275 inhibited the translocation of P65 from cytoplasm to the nucleus.Conclusion MS-275 can protect liver from acute failure in mice through enhancing the acetylation levels of non-histones.

Objective To compare the effects of different surgical techniques for treatment of concealed penis. Methods A retrospective review of 219 patients underwent surgical correction of concealed penis between 1986 and 2007 was performed. The mean age was (10.3±2.4) years(3-15 years). The penile length was (1.9±0. 5)cm(0. 5-3. 0 cm)before operation. Ninty-three patients were the severe degree of concealed penis. The others were the moderate degree. All patients under-went operation with different techniques, including Johnston's technique in 34, Devine's technique in 42, modified Devinds technique in 125 and Brisson's technique in 18. The increased length of penile af-ter operation was compared among the 4 groups with different surgical techniques by statistical meth-od. Results The postoperative increased length of penile in Johnston's technique, Devine's tech-nique, modified Devine's technique and Brisson's technique was (1.8 ± 0. 4) cm, (2. 0 ± 0. 5) cm, (2.1±0.4)cm and (2.3±0.4)cm respectively. The difference was significant by ANOVA test (F=13.1,P<0. 001). Devines technique, modified DevineSs technique and Brisson's technique were better than Johnston's technique considering the increased length of penile. The complication of severe penile lymphedema of 4 groups developed in 8, 5, 6 and 2 patients respectively. Conclusion Modified De-vine's technique has the satisfactory increasing of penile length for treatment of concealed penis and less complication rate after operation.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of intertrochanteric fracture by the fixation using proximal femoral nail (PFN/PFNA).Methods From Jan.2008 to Dec.2010,56 cases with intertrochanteric fracture,including 18 males and 38 females with an average age of 76 years (range,67 -94 ),were treated by fixation with PFN or PFNA.All patients had closed fractures in the shaft of femur.The average time from injury to operation was 3.2 days (ranging from 2.0 days to 10.0 days).All the patients were followed for 1,2,3,6,12 month after surgery,respectively,and then at least once per year.The clinical outcomes were evaluated according to Harris criteria and radiological examinations.Results The mean operating time of all cases was 55 minutes ( ranging from 40 to 80 minutes),and the mean blood loss during surgery was 80 ml (range,50 - 150 ml).All patients was able to walk with walking aid 3 -7 days after surgery.All the patients with fracture healed after 3.5 - 6.0 months ( mean:4 months ).No complications such as infection,lower limb vein infarction,cut-out or breakage of the implants occurred.Four cases had coxa vara shortening deformation,According to Harris criteria,the clinical results were excellent in 43 cases,good in 9,and moderate in 4,with the rate of patients in excellent and good condition was 92.86％ (52/56).Conclusion PFN/PFNA is an effective and minimally invasive method for intertrochanteric fracture,with minimal invasion,high fixation-strength and optimal biomechanics characteristics.This treatment technique produces a high rate of bone re-union,early functional recovery and less complications.

To assess the level of health skills relating to infectious diseases among residents in Beijing and develop more effective strategies for controlling infectious diseases.We conducted a multistage sampling,retrospective cross-sectional survey of residents aged 18 and above from 6 districts by selfadministered and anonymous questionnaires in January 2011.The questionnaires consisted of health skills relating to infectious diseases.A total of 13 042 respondents completed the survey.The proportions of people with the skills for acquiring knowledge about infectious diseases,being able to read medicinal package insert,being able to read brochures with regard to basic knowledge about infectious diseases, being able to read laboratory test report andproper use of thermometer were 57.7％,71.0％,70.2％,47.9％ and 76.8％ respectively.The levels of health skills were different among different populations (P ＜0.01).A low level of health skills was observed among the poorly-educated people and elders.Therefore measures such as health education and skills training about infectious diseases should be taken to improve the health skills.

Objective To analyze the consistency of individual examination diagnosis with terminologies expressed in the conclusion report of physical examinations by the chief inspection physician. Methods Based on the clinical classifications used in the Guidelines on Prevention and Treatment of Blood Lipid Abnormality for Chinese Adults, and related terminology descriptions of Dyslipidemias that were actually used in four-item blood lipid examinations diagnosis, a lexicon database of Hyperlipidemias was constructed with 39 terms used in the four-item blood lipid examination diagnosis and chief physician conclusions. Totally 11953 electronic chief physician inspection reports from 8 health check-up institutions were included. We investigated the terms of lexicon database using word frequency analysis method, calculated the positive rate in the diagnosis of four single examinations of serum lipid and the positive rate in the chief physician's conclusion. Consistency of chief physician's conclusion with single examination diagnosis was analyzed by Kappa test. Results (1) Among the 39 terms of lexicon database, there are 18 nonstandard terms used in single examination diagnosis, accounted for 46％ of all terms; (2) In word frequency analysis, there are only 1％ of terms that corresponded to clinical classifications of Hyperlipidemias accurately;(3) The positive rate of Hyperlipidemias in serum lipid four single examinations diagnosis was 47％, the positive rate of physician diagnosis was 35％. The consistency analysis of chief physician conclusions with single examination diagnosis showed Kappa=0.71(P<0.01). Conclusions Although the final conclusion written by the chief physician was not using standard terms strictly, most of synonymous terminology expressed in the physician conclusion is normative, which enabled the construction of lexicon database and text mining. Whether the single examination diagnosis are consistent with physician conclusions can be an evaluation indicator to assess the quality of chief physician conclusions for physical examinations. Kappa>0.75 may be suggested as a favorable value.

Antiviral therapy is the most important thing in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) has both antiviral and immunomodulatory effects, and after drug withdrawal, 30%-40% of patients can achieve HBeAg seroconversion and sustained virologic response. Many studies have shown that HBsAg quantification can be used as an index to predict the anti-HBV effect of PEG-IFN and sustained immune control after drug withdrawal. This article reviews the relationship between HBsAg levels before, during, and after PEG-IFN therapy and antiviral effect to clarify the significance of HBsAg quantification in the PEG-IFN treatment of CHB and to guide the regimen of antiviral therapy.
