OBJECTIVEThe device of a bone age film of analysis and process was designed, can calculate the expected patient's height and identify growth level and development.

METHODSSelect the DR bone age of 100 children of 6-13 years old, used semi Lagrange algorithm of target region of interest on bone age piece (ROI) for image analysis, compared with 2 pediatric endocrinologists (A, B) who used TW3 artificial to judge bone age (two methods were detected 2 times), and report the results.

RESULTSBone age assessment process, forecast error of bone age reduced to 0.12 years.

CONCLUSIONSThis device can quickly calculate the expected patient's height and identify his growth level, improve the speed and accuracy of bone age assessment, especially in the poor medical conditions in rural and remote areas.

The service of Traditional Chinese medical institutions consists Outpatient Care and Inpatient Care. The author summarizes the service situation of Traditional Chinese medical institutions in the last six years, by contrasting and analyzing the following quotas: the total number of treatment in the emergency door, the number of discharged patients, hospital admissions per 100 outpatient emergency treatment, rate of utilization of hospital beds, the average days of staying in hospital and doctors work efficiency, and then give some reasonable suggestions.

AIM:To investigate the expression and significance of thrombospondin-1(TSP-1)in left ventricular myocardium of type 2 diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM).METHODS:The rat model of DCM was established by eating a high-fat diet together with injection of low dose streptozocin(30 mg/kg)intrapertoneally.After 12 weeks,the content of collagen was quantified by Masson staining.The mRNA level of TSP-1 was determined by quantification real-time RT-PCR,while the protein level of TSP-1 was analyzed by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.RESULTS:Compared with the control group,the content of collagen in the DCM group was increased greatly(11.01?3.05 vs 16.92?3.18,P

Recently, herbal medicine including traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has gained huge attention in the world. In 2015, the global trades of herbal medicine reached 93.15 billion US dollars. And, the latest statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of People's Republic of China showed that total sales of Chinese patent medicine and raw herbs reached 120 billion US dollars in 2014. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the situation of international marketing on herbal medicine and how much TCM shared in it. The PubMed database, search engines and government websites and research reports were searched for analyses. The results showed that total trades of TCM products in both domestic and foreign markets, were about 135 billion US dollars, including Chinese patent medicine, raw herbs, herbal extracts, herbal health care products, whose proportion of the global marketing was 80%.

Awareness of Health-Preservation management of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in public was investigated from June to early July in 2017 by the web of question nairein vestigation"Wenjuanxing". The result showed that 324 of 369 questionnaires were received and checked, accounting for 87.8%. In conclusion, the awareness of Health-Preservation management of TCM in public was poor, and it's important to raise the publicity of Health-Preservation management of TCM firstly in the community hospital in order to increase the awareness of people's acception.

Objective:To analyze the current development status, research hot-spots and development trends of county-level Chinese hospitals in China.Methods:By retrieving the papers of county-level Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) hospitals in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Science and Technology Periodicals Full-text Database (VIP), Wanfang and China Biomedical Database (SinoMed ) with CiteSpace 5.5.R2 software to draw maps of the author, institution and keyword and make analysis.Results:A total of 598 papers are included in this study, and the trend of publications shows an upward trend and then a downward trend. Researchers conduct research in the form of forming research teams. The research institutions are mainly medical colleges and scientific research institutions. The most frequently showed keyword is "medical reform". The keyword knowledge map shows that the research content mainly involves medical reform, problem analysis and countermeasures, economic operation efficiency, TCM service capability, data envelopment analysis and so on.Conclusions:The county-level TCM hospitals generally show sound development trend in China. The research trend is dominated by county-level TCM hospitals. Scale development has been transformed into the study of hospital operation efficiency. County-level TCM hospitals need to start from their own actual conditions, strengthen cooperation in the form of teams and strengthen academic cooperation among institutions, so as to realize the basic TCM services for ordinary people.
