Chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) is a worldwide public health problem.Glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) is a key indicator for early diagnosis and accurate classification of CKD , how to estimate GFR accurately and conveniently has been a difficulty and hot-points.We describes the development of several major eGFR equations based on creatinine and cystatin C , analysis the impact of the different research methods on performance of equation , and discusses the issue in research and application of eGFR in China.Accordingly make the following recommendations ( 1 ) Expand the study size ( multiple centers) and participants number , then develop and validate eGFR equations based on Chinese population ;(2) Standardize the gold standardof GFR in the study and unify the analysis and evaluation methods;(3) Promote the consistency and standardization of creatinine and cystatin C which is the basis for the wide range of applications of the eGFR formula.

OBJECTIVE:To bring the spillover effects of multinational pharmaceutical enterprises'Research&Develop-ment institutions intofull play in China.METHODS:The routes for the exertion of spillover effects and the main restrictive factors of multinational pharmaceutical enterprises were analyzed and some strategies to enhance the spillover effects were put forward.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:The absorbing ability of the domestic pharmaceutical enterprises should be enhanced in China;the flow of the personnel between the multinational enterprises and the domestic pharmaceutical enterprises should be accelerated.We should participate actively in the Research&Development system of multinational pharmaceutical enterprises,reinforce the protection of intellectual property and promote the Research&Development investment of multinational phar-maceutical enterprises in China.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the outsourcing strategy of pharmaceutical enterprises.METHODS:The feasibility and the necessity of carrying out outsourcing strategy in pharmaceutical enterprises were analyzed based on value chain theory;and the current outsourcing strategies carried out in China pharmaceutical enterprises were evaluated.RESULTS&CON?CLUSION:Outsourcing is a feasible choice for our pharmaceutical enterprises,by which their competitive edge can be im?proved effectively.

Objective To measure the equity of resources allocation in obstetric healthcare in Zhejiang Province, and provide evidence for decision making by healthcare departments of the government. Methods Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient were used to measure the equity of obstetric healthcare resources. Results The investigation found such allocation as equitable as measured by the layout of the number of live births, as the Gini coefficient of the distribution of obstetric doctors, nurses and beds was 0.1697,0.1971 and 0.1497 respectively by total birth, failing within the equitable range. However, when measured by geographic distribution, such coefficient were 0.2701, 0.3216 and 0.3341 respectively in cities, which were less equitable yet still within equitable range. Conclusions The government and health bureaus are recommended to scientifically predict the number of immigrants and rationally deploy healthcare resources according to the service radius of healthcare resources;moreover, more gynecologic doctors and nurses should be trained to improve the human resource structure in gynecologic departments. These effort can cater to the growing healthcare demands of the society resulting from a growing population of immigrants.

More and more studies have found that EBV infection is closely related to the occurrence, development, treatment and prognosis of lymphoma. The treatment of EBV-positive lymphoma bases mainly on combined chemo-radiotherapy together with ganciclovir, acyclovir and other antiviral drugs. Also there are novel ways to treat EBV positive- lymphoma including CD70 monoclonal antibody, butyrate, etc. The only way to prevent EBV infection is to inoculate anti-viral vaccine. The criterion of treating EBV positive-lymphoma remains to be further investigated.

Objective To investigate the effects of OGP (10-14) and its derivate H86A on bone metrology in rats with ovariecto-my-reduced osteoporosis. Methods Thirty-two female Sprague-Dawley rats, three months old, were randomly divided into 4 groups. Rats in groups 1 to 3 were bilaterally ovariectomized(OVX) and the others in group 4 were sham-operated. After the operation, rats in group 1 and group 2 were received derivate of OGP(10-14) H86A daily at different concentration. Group 3 were given placebo. Rats were killed after 12 weeks. Left tibias were disconnected and made into non-decalcified bone slice, and then they were detected and analyzed on indexes which were relative with bone metrology. Results Compared with Group 3, no other indexes except OV/BV was obviously different in rats with high dose H86A (P

Thirty-six healthy women were divided into 3 groups according to their calcium intake at week 18 of gestation. The levels of their blood calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin were assayed during pregnancy and postpartum, and bone mineral density ( BMD) was measured postpartum. The levels of PHI and calcitonin were increasing with advancing pregnancy and reached the highest at the end of pregnancy. The women with higher calcium intake during pregnancy period had higher BMD than that of the women with ordinary diet during pregnancy period.

Objective:To study the relationships of portal hypertensions to vasoactive substances-angiotensin(AT-Ⅱ)in cirrhosis patients.Methods:48 patients with liver cirrhosis(LC)(including 18 patients with compensated LC and 30 patients with decompensated LC) and 32 normal controls(NC) were studied. Color duplex doppler ultrasonography was used to study portal venous and splenic venous blood flow(PVBF and SVBF).Also,the blood concentration of AT-Ⅱ was detected.Then,analyze the correlation between PVBF and SVBF to AT-Ⅱ.Results:Portal hyperdynamic exists in cirrhosis patients from beginning to the end. Low level of AT-Ⅱ in compensated LC patient has no relation with portal hyperdynamic, high level of AT-Ⅱ in decompensated LC has positive relation with portal hyperdynamic.Conclusion:This study has directed significance of clinical treatment and diagnosis.
