A survey and analysis were conducted at the end of 2002 of urban community health service institutions in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government so as to find out about the basie situation of community health service institutions across the country. The result indicated that by the end of 2002, the number of cities that had conducted community health service work reached 358. The coverage of community health services in cities of the prefecture level, areas under the jurisdiction of a city and cities of the county level was respectively 92. 1%, 80. 3% and 28.0% . 12 132 community health service institutions were set up in 2002, marking an increase of 31.6% as compared with 2001. The growth of community health services was fast and yet uneven in various regions. It is suggested that more efforts be made to strengthen community health services in medium-sized and small cities and improve the management of institutions and the system for statistical analysis of in-formation.

Objective Cloning of some specific genes related to the prostate cancer. Methods Specimen from a patient with prostate cancer and from a normal adult were studied by the improved mRNA differential display and the differentially expressed sequence-tags were cloned,sequenced and analized.Reverse transcriptive-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to examine the expression level of Clusterin in prostate cancer tissues,prostate cancer cell line and normal prostate tissues. Results Significant difference was observed between the two kinds of tissues in gene expression and seven differentially expressed sequence-tags were found through analysis in GenBank.Among them,five were proved to be new gene tags,one shared 100% homology with Clusterin,which was highly expressed in the prostate cancer tissue and the other one shared 97% homology with superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1),which was highly expressed in the normal prostate tissue.It was proved by RT-PCR that to compare with the internal marker gene ?-actin,the expression level of clusterin in prostate cancer is much higher than that of normal prostate. Conclusions Five new gene tags,clusterin and SOD1 were found to be differentially expressed between tissues of prostate cancer and normal prostate and may play important roles in carcinogenesis and development of prostate cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression of E-cadherin in prostate cancer and its relationship with PSA. Methods E-cadherin expression of 56 prostate cancer samples were studied by immunohistochemical stain and its expression level was analyzed with respect to T-PSA, F-PSA and F/T ratio. Results 24 patients (43%) were normal and 32 patients (57%) were aberrant in E-cadherin expression. E-cadherin was related significantly to the grade and stage of cancer and the changes of F/T ratio.There were no significant relationship between E-cadherin expression and T-PSA or F-PSA. Conclusions E-cadherin expression may act as a marker to the malignant degree and the prognosis of the prostate cancer.

Objective To determine the relevant factors of under staging and under grading in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and to define important predictors of under staging in this population. Methods The clinical T stages and biopsy Gleason scores were compared with the pathological T stages and prostatectomy Gleason scores in 55 patients. Results Among the 55 cases,50 were preoperatively classified as clinical stages T 1~T 2,of whom 21(42%) were postoperatively classified as pathological stages T 3~T 4.Of the 26 cases who preoperatively had the Gleason scores of 2 to 6,11(42%) had postoperatively pathological grades of 7 to 10.Logistic regression analysis revealed that PSA( P =0.0159)at diagnosis and the percentage of positive biopsies of prostate ≥50%( P =0.0013) were significant predictors for preoperative clinical staging lower than postoperative pathological staging. Conclusions The results demonstrate that patients who were classified as clinical stages T 1~T 2 with PSA≥20 ng/ml and percentage of positive biopsies≥50% may have high possibility of under staging.
