The development status of regional longitudinal healthcare alliances in China was analyzed in the paper.As found by the authors, such existing problems as the healthcare administrative system and fiscal input system, the crisis of confidence on primary medical institutions, poor information platforms, and limited means of medical insurance payment, constitute roadblocks for healthcare alliances to play their roles.Proposals of the paper cover such grounds as follows: the government to make a top-down design and a longitudinal and integrated healthcare system can be built;to build a corporate structure for the alliances, with greater fiscal support;to reform the medical insurance payment practice for integrating interests of medical associations;to clarify the responsibilities of tertiary hospitals, for building a win-win mechanism among stakeholders, and improving the information sharing platform.These measures, if in place, can propel the healthy development of healthcare alliances in China.

Objective To discuss the liver function recovery affected by the portal vein flow in patients who underwent adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation using the right lobe. Methods Seventy-four donors and recipients were included in this study. Intraoperative Doppler ultrasound (IOUS)were performed before splitting the donor liver and 1 hour after the graft reperfusion. The diameter and velocity of portal vein were measured and recorded for calculation of portal vein flow(PVF). Liver function tests were undertaken at the day 2nd,7th, 15th and 30th postoperative,respectively. Results One hour after reperfusion of 74 grafts,the PVF were significantly increased (2. 84 ± 0. 93) fold. Seventy-four grafts were divided into 4 groups according to the different degrees of the increase of PVF. The levels of blood bilirubin total(TBIL) among 4 groups were differently at the day 2nd,7th, 15th and 30th postoperative. High PVF contributed to recipient's prolonged hyperbilirubinemia ( P ＜0. 001 ). The levels of ALT, AST among 4 groups were differently at the day 7th, 15th and 30th postoperative( P ＜0. 001). Conclusions Detection of portal vein hemodynamics in living donor liver transplantation by IOUS may assist surgeon to anticipate the graft's function and take surgical therapies to secure the graft and the recipient.

Objective A rabbit model of common carotid artery grafted by external jugular veins was used. Vein grafts were transferred by c-myc antisense oligodeoxynucleotides(ODN) and carried by soluble stent. Try to find a new approach to prevent veins graft failure on molecular basis. Methods New Zealand rabbit were randomly divided into five groups, 10 animals each. Pretreating the soluble stents with synthesized c-myc ODN, following stents: (1) control group; (2) soluble stent; (3) soluble stent with sense-ODN; (4) soluble stent with antisense-ODN; (5) soluble stent with mismatch-ODN were put into the vein graft during end to end anastomosis. After 7, 28 and 90 days of operation, vein grafts were harvested. HE and ET stain were made aim to calculate the extent of intima hyperplasia. The expression of c-myc and PCNA were identified by immunchemistry methods. Situ hybridization and Northern Bloting were made to assess the expression of c-myc mRNA quantitatively and semi-quantitatively in veins. Results In the vein grafts of 7,28,90 days post-operation of soluble stent antisense-ODN group ①Intima hyperplasia were inhibited significantly compare with other four groups. ②The expression of c-myc and PCNA were inhibited significantly compare with other four groups. ③C-myc mRNA expression level was significantly Lower than the other four groups. Conclusion Soluble stent can transfer c-myc ODN effectively. C-myc antisense-ODN transferred by soluble stent can inhibit the expression of c-myc and PCNA, can inhibit intima hyperplasia of vein graft significantly, thus preventing the stenosis of vein graft.

Objective To observe the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis promotion effect of oridonin on PC-3 cells.Methods PC-3 cells were treated with different concentrations of oridonin.MTT assay and drug concentration-time survival curve were used to test the effect of oridonin on the PC-3 cells.The percentage of earlier apoptosis cells was analyzed by flow cytometry.The protein expression of caspase-3,Bcl-2,and Bax in the PC-3 cells was detected by Western blot.Results Oridonin effectively inhibited the proliferation of PC-3 cells in both concentration- and time-dependent manner,and the IC50 of PC-3 cells was 10.29 μmol/L.Hochest33258 staining and flow eytometry deteced that oridonin induced the apoptosis of PC-3 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05 ).Oridonin down-regulated Bcl-2,up-regulated Bax protein,and activated caspase-3 in a concentration-dependent manner in the PC-3 cells.Conclusion The apoptosis of PC-3 cells induced by oridonin might be associated with the mitochondrial pathway.

Objective To explore the role of Th17 cells in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)with cardiovascular disease (CVD).Methods 61 patients of SLE were collected from September 2011 to March 2013 in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University by revised SLE classification standards of ACR in 1997.These patients were divided two groups:22patients of SLE with CVD and 39 patients of SLE without CVD;the control group include 20 healthy.Th17 cells were measured by flow cytometry,IL-1 7 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The correlation among them and the disease active index were analyzed.Results ①The percent of Th1 7 cells in the group of SLE with CVD,that in the group of SLE without CVD and that in control group were (2.09±0.98)%,(1.75±0.75)% and (0.89±0.44)%,respec-tively.The percent of Th1 7 cells in healthy group were lower than that in SLE with CVD and SLE without CVD group (t=4.717~5.030,P<0.001).The level of IL-17 in the group of SLE with CVD,that in the group of SLE without CVD and that in control group were 85.64±20.76 pg/ml,75.25±28.14 pg/ml and 35.06±6.58 pg/ml respectively,and the serum of IL-17 in healthy group were lower than in SLE with CVD and SLE without CVD group (t=6.275~9.954,P<0.001). There were no significant difference of Th1 7 cells and IL-1 7 between SLE with CVD and SLE without CVD groups (t=1.520,P>0.05;t=1.513,P>0.05).②The level of IL-17 were correlated positively with SLEDAI and the anti-double strand DNA (r=0.393,P=0.008;r=0.558,P<0.001),were correlated negatively with complement C3 (r=-0.423,P=0.005).The percent of Th17 cells in CD4+T cells were correlated positively with SLEDAIand the anti-double strand DNA (r=0.681,P<0.001;r=0.492,P=0.015)were correlated negatively with complement C3 (r=-0.534,P=0.027).Con-clusion The level of Th1 7 cells and IL-1 7 were high in SLE,and they were related with the disease activity.The cardiovas-cular factor had not affect the expression of Th1 7 cells and IL-1 7 in SLE.

Objective To investigate the value of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI)and color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI)in the diagnostic of acute rejection (AR)after liver transplantation.Methods B mode ultrasound,CDFI and ARFI exams were performed on fifty-eight patients who was diagnosed with AR through liver biopsy in our hospital.The liver allograft size,mean velocity of portal vein,hepatic vein spectrum waveform and shear-wave velocity were obtained and compared with the results of 30 healthy subjects as control group.Results Compare to control group,the AR group had a significant increase in liver allograft,decrease in mean velocity of portal vein,the elimination of triphasic wave of hepatic vein,and a significant increase in shear-wave velocity (P =0.000,0.000,0.007,0.000,respectively).The correlation coefficient between four criteria and grouping was 0.478,0.557,0.286,0.483,respectively.The area under ROC curves for diagnosing AR using the four criterias mentioned above was 0.914.Conclusions Combination of CDFI and ARFI in diagnosing of AR after liver transplantation has higher sensitivity and accuracy.
