Objective:This paper aims to analyze the related effects of the low price medicine policy, and prob-lems in the implementation process. Methods:To retrieve an official website of the state food and medicine supervi-sion and administration, collect the package supplements of the low-price medicines and analyze their varieties according to their situations, and calculate he highest and lowest average daily use indicators for the medicine, etc. from January 2009 to August 2014. Results:(1) The low-price medicine list contains 533 kinds of standard medi-cines, and the coincidence rate with the essential medicines list is 51. 59%. Results also show that 96. 82% of the low-price medicines are incorporated into the national medical insurance directory. ( 2 ) The daily medicine cost difference of the maximum and minimum bidder price to the same medicine produced by different manufacturers ran-ges from 0. 01 to 30. 96 Yuan with 94. 76% of the western medicine dosage constituting the existing price rise space. (3) The daily medicine cost difference ranges from 0. 01 to 19. 35 Yuan with 92. 13% of the proprietary Chinese medicine varieties constituting the existing price rise space. Discussions:The low-price medicine varieties lack in the strict proof, the fact of low pricing the medicine has a two-way effect, and the connection between the low-price medi-cine administration policy and other policies is unclear.

Objective Wnt signaling plays an important role in the development and progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the Wnt signaling inhibitor 15-oxospiramilactone on the proliferation , migration, cell apoptosis, and cycles of the human RCC cell line 786-0, and to investigate the possible mechanisms of this small molecule acting on RCC in ivtro. Methods We treated 786-0 cells with DMSO ( blank control group ) and 15-oxospiramilactone at the concentrations of1.25μmol/L (low 15 -OSL), 2.5μmol/L (medium 15-OSL), and 5μmol/L (high 15-OSL), respectively, for 72 hours.Then we observed the changes in the proliferation and migration of the 786-0 cells by MTT and scratch-wound assay and determined their apopto-sis and cycles by Annexin V-FITC/PI assay and flow cytometry . Results 15-oxospiramilactone significantly inhibited the growth of the 7860-cells, with the IC 50of 1.088 μmol/L at 72 hours, and decreased their migration distance (P<0.05).After 36 hours of treatment, the apoptosis rates of the 786-0 cells in the low, medium, and high 15-OSL groups were (12.17 ±0.56), (18.54 ± 1.07), and (50.74 ±1.28) %, respectively, significantly increased as compared with (7.85 ±0.42) %in the blank control group (P<0.05), and in an obviously concentration-dependent manner.15-oxospiramilactone remarkably reduced the number of cells in the G0/G1 phase and increased that in the G 2/M phase (P<0.05). Conclusion 15-oxospiramilactone can significantly inhibit the pro -liferation and migration and induce the apoptosis of 786-0cells in vitro.It may be a potential anti-RCC agent.

Background::Gallbladder and biliary tract cancer (GBTC) has greatly damaged the health of patients and is accompanied by a dismal prognosis. The worldwide distribution of GBTC shows extensive variance and the updated data in China is lacking. This study was to determine the current status, trends, and predictions in the burden of GBTC over the past 30 years in China.Methods::This was a descriptive, epidemiological, secondary analysis of the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor Study 2019 data. Data including incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of GBTC in China by year, age, and sex were assessed. Joinpoint regression analysis was conducted to evaluate trends of disease burden due to GBTC from 1990 to 2019. Nordpred age-period-cohort analysis was applied for the projection of mortality and incidence due to GBTC from 2019 to 2044.Results::Nationally, there were 38,634 (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 27,350–46,512) new cases and 47,278 (95% UI: 32,889–57,229) patients due to GBTC, causing 34,462 (95% UI: 25,220–41,231) deaths, and 763,584 (95% UI: 566,755–920,493) DALYs in 2019. Both cases and rates of burden owing to GBTC were heavier among males and at old age. From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized rates of incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALYs of GBTC generally increased from 1990 to 2019, with average annual percentage change at 0.8% (95% confidential interval [CI]: 0.6–1.0%), 1.3% (95% CI: 1.1–1.5%), 0.4% (95% CI: 0.2–0.6%), and 0.2% (95% CI: 0.1–0.4%), respectively. Even though the age-standardized incidence rate and age-standardized mortality rate in both sexes were predicted to decline gradually from 2019 to 2044, the number of new cases and deaths were expected to grow steadily.Conclusions::GBTC is becoming a major health burden in China, particularly among males and older individuals. Given the aging population and increasing burden, effective strategies and measurements are urged to prevent or reduce the number of new cases and deaths of GBTC.

Objective:To describe and analyze the relationship between traditional and new obesity related anthropometric indicators and all-cause death in centenarians in Hainan, the traditional and new obesity related anthropometric indicators included BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist hip ratio (WHR), waist height ratio, calf circumference (CC), waist-calf ratio (WCR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), a body shape index (ABSI), a body shape index of Chinese (CABSI) and body roundness index.Methods:A total of 1 002 centenarians in Hainan were selected by cluster sampling. The M( Q1,Q3) follow-up time was 4.16 (1.31, 5.04) years and the outcome was all-cause death. Multiple Cox regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the obesity related anthropometric indicators and all-cause death, and the area under receiver operating characteristic curve was used for comparison. Results:In all the centenarians, CC had the strongest power to predict death, with area under curve (AUC) of 0.61 (95% CI:0.57-0.64), the gender specific results were consistent with that in overall population ( P<0.05), followed by WCR with AUC of 0.58, and then BMI, LAP and WC with AUC of 0.55, 0.55 and 0.54 respectively, while CABSI, WHR and VAI had the weaker power to predict death with AUC of 0.51, 0.50 and 0.50 respectively. Conclusions:This was the first study to prospectively compare and analyze the association between 12 obesity related anthropometric indicators and all-cause death in a large sample cohort of centenarians in China. It was found that CC had the best prediction power for death, and the risk for death decreased with the increase of CC value in a dose-response manner. It is suggested that CC can be used as a reference index for death risk monitoring in the elderly.

Objective A three-dimensional （3D） printing precise pressure device was designed specifically targeted at cambered limbs according to the requirement of postoperative rehabilitation of total knee replacement(TKR), and its effectiveness and safety was verified by finite element analysis. Methods Based on gastrocnemius muscle of lower limbs as the pressurized objects, the precise pressure device was designed, which contained an air pressure generating module, an inflatable airbag and a 3D printing brace. Through the closed loop control algorithm, the device stably supplied different pressures in the airbag. Distributed pressure data of the airbag-skin within contact surface were collected under different experimental conditions and imported into biomechanical simulation software which combined CT images to reconstruct 3D model of the lower limb mechanics. Finally, the effective compression area fraction and the joint micro-motion angle under each condition were obtained, to verify the effectiveness and safety of the system. Results Using generally preferred 4 cm-size offset and 4-barrel airbag configurations, under different intracapsular pressure of 5.32，6.65，7.98，9.31，10.64 kPa, the simulated knee joint micro-motion angles were 5.3°, 6.1°, 7.2°, 9.5°, 10.6°， respectively, and the effective compression area fraction could be up to 90-8%-95-2%. Conclusions For the optimized scheme, the dynamic range of joint micro-motion angle and the effective compression area fraction caused by different airbag pressure values were the best and met the design requirements of effectiveness and safety. The research findings can contribute to analyzing the influence of compression system on limb biomechanics, which are of great significance for effective and safe rehabilitation training after TKR.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for the definition of the legal attributes of the provincial Chinese herbal pieces processing norms and the improvement of legal expression for the drug standards in Drug Administration Law. METHODS Based on the legal evolution of local drug standards in China， the composition of national drug standards for Chinese herbal pieces and the composition of current provincial Chinese herbal pieces processing norms were analyzed； at the same time， based on the method of legal interpretation， the legal connotation of the provincial Chinese herbal medicine processing norms in Drug Administration Law was investigated. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS In the practice of drug supervision， the provincial Chinese herbal pieces processing norms are essentially local drug standards. The newly revised Drug Administration Law defines the drug standards specifically， but does not stipulate the legal attribute of drug standards for the provincial Chinese herbal pieces processing norms， and there are certain legislative technical defects. It is suggested that when amending the Drug Administration Law， the legal attributes of the drug standards of the provincial Chinese herbal medicine processing norms should be clarified.

Centenarians are known as the "model population" in the study of healthy aging. Understanding their characteristics of health and longevity and its related influencing factors would facilitate the exploration of the possible path to achieve health and longevity under the background of population aging in China. In recent years, the population based observational studies, including China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study (CHCCS), have found the main health characteristics of centenarians and their relationship with quality of life. This paper summarizes the relevant research results from CHCCS in recent years, and compare them with the results of similar domestic studies. The main health indicators include blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose, hemoglobin, body measurement and renal function. The health outcomes including diet, nutrition, health-related quality of life, activities of daily living, geriatric syndrome. The results are expected to provide epidemiological evidence for the development of healthy aging policies.

Objective:To explore the association between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and all-cause death in the centenarians in Hainan Province.Methods:The study was based on China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study, a total of 1 002 centenarians were included in the baseline survey, the follow up was conducted to collect the information about their death outcome. The association between baseline PTH level and all-cause death was analyzed by Cox proportional risk regression model using continuous variables, dichotomous variables, and quad variables as independent variables of the centenarians.Results:As of May 31 st, 2021, a total of 522 centenarians had died in the follow up period, the median of the follow up time was 4.16 (1.31,5.04) years, and the mortality rate was 52.10%. After fully adjusting the covariates, the multiple Cox proportional hazards regression analyses showed that the risk of all-cause death increased by 3.7% for every 10 pg/ml increase in PTH value, the HR was 1.037 (95% CI: 1.007-1.067) in all the centenarians. The risk of death in the centenarians in the highest PTH group was 1.458 (95% CI: 1.131-1.878) times higher than that in the lowest PTH group. Conclusions:Higher parathyroid hormone level was associated with the elevated risk for all-cause death in the centenarians in Hainan. PTH can be used as a reference index for the prediction of the death risk of long-lived elderly in community.

Objective:To examine the association between depression and all-cause death in centenarians in Hainan Province.Methods:Based on China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study, 1 002 centenarians with integral data were included in the baseline survey, follow up was conducted to collect the information about their survival status and death outcome. Depression was evaluated by the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) and based on the evaluation scores, the mental status of the centenarians was classified as: severe depressive disorder (MDD; score ≥10), minor depressive disorder (MnDD; score 6-9), and normal status (score ≤5). Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models was used to estimate the hazard ratios ( HRs) and 95% CIs. Results:As of May 31 st, 2021, a total of 522 deaths had been reported, with a mortality density of 152.39/1 000 person-years and a median follow up time M( Q1, Q3) of 4.16 (1.31, 5.04) years, in the centenarians. After adjusting the factors of socio-demographic characteristics and lifestyle, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of all-cause mortality increased by 3.1% for every 1-point increase in GDS-15 score ( HR=1.031, 95% CI: 1.002-1.061). Compared with centenarians with normal status, the risk of mortality in the centenarians with MDD increased by 35.9% ( HR=1.359, 95% CI: 1.023-1.806), the centenarians with MDD had an average 1.94 years of life lost. Among the female centenarians, the risk of mortality in MnDD group and MDD group increased by 29.3% ( HR=1.293, 95% CI: 1.053-1.590) and 42.3% ( HR=1.423, 95% CI: 1.047-1.935) compared with normal group, those with MDD had an average 1.71 years of life lost. Conclusions:Depression was related to the increased risk of all-cause death and life lost in the centenarians in Hainan.

Objective:To understand the associations of various levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels and related factors with all-cause death in the centenarians in Hainan Province.Methods:The data were obtained from China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study, a prospective cohort study which included 1 002 centenarians. Cox proportional risk regression models were used to analyze the associations of blood pressure and related factors with all-cause death in the centenarians.Results:As of May 31, 2021, with the median of the follow-up time of 4.16 years, and the mortality density had reach 15.24 per 100 person-years. After grouping by SBP and DBP quartiles, the Q1 of SBP and Q2 of DBP caused the lowest mortality density (12.73 per 100 person-years and 14.10 per 100 person-years relatively). In all the centenarians, compared with the Q1 of SBP (≤137 mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), Q2, Q3 and Q4 were all positively associated with all-cause death. In the female population, the HRs of SBP's Q2, Q3 and Q4 were 1.343, 1.355 and 1.420 respectively ( Q1 as reference), and the HRs of DBP's Q1, Q3 and Q4 were 1.468, 1.800 and 1.504 respectively ( Q2 as reference), showing a roughly U-shaped association. Interactive analysis showed multiplicative interaction between SBP and BMI. Conclusions:In the centenarians in Hainan, different levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were associated with all-cause death. In the centenarians, DBP might have a suitable level or range in which the risk of death is relatively low. Different BMI status might affect the associations of blood pressure levels with death outcomes.
