ObjectiveTo find out about changes in expenses and the orientation of the insured to medical services and analyze the causes of expense growth and the result of containment so as to offer suggestions for policy formulation. MethodsA statistical analysis was made of the actual data on the medical insurance of retired and working personnel in Nantong City from 2000 through 2002 using SPSS and Excel. Results①The mode of payment via "plate" management and total quantity and mean value control resulted in fairly good expense containment, especially outpatient expense containment while the growth of hospitalization expenses was on the rise. ②Third-tier hospitals were most popular to people seeking hospitalized services while for outpatient services people were increasingly turning to clinics and designated drugstores where the average expenses per visit were low. Conclusion①The managing party of medical insurance should step up research on expense containment strategies, steer the patients towards rational splitflow, try to contain expenses in a scientific way, and improve the efficiency of fund utilization. ②Medical institutions confronted with opportunities and crises should enhance quality construction and deliver standard and reliable services. ③It is imperative to strengthen regional health planning and raise the efficiency of health resources utilization.

Injectable bone substitutes can repair bone defect via percutaneous injection, including organic bone graft materials and inorganic bone graft materials. Furthermore, some materials considered as vector can composite with cells to generate tissue engineering materials, which are injected into bone graft to improve fusion rate. The development of injectable bone substitutes provides a new way to treat some relative diseases. Here, the article was divided three parts to introduce biological characteristics and clinical application of organic bone substitute materials, inorganic bone substitute materials, and bone tissue engineering vector materials. Although bone tissue engineering research achieves some effects initially, there are still a lot of problems, such as collection and preparation of extracellular matrix materials, composite and transplantation of cell and vector; all of them need to be further studied.

Purpose To evaluate the subclassifications of pT2 diseases in tumor-nodes-metastases ( TNM) staging system for prostate cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis of the medical records of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy ( RP) with the diag-nosis of clinically localized PCa was conducted. Any preoperative therapies, in terms of active surveillance, hormone therapy or radia-tion were exclusion criteria. The RP specimens were completely embedded and histopathologically evaluated for extraprostatic exten-sion, seminal vesicle invasion and staged according to the 2002/2010 TNM staging criteria. Results Using current 2002/2010 TNM staging criteria, in all, 15 cases of the tumors were pT2, 10 cases were pT3a, and 5 cases were pT3a. When subclassification of pT2, 2 cases of the tumors were pT2a, 13 cases of the tumors were pT2c, and none was identified as a pathological T2b tumor. Conclusion The results of the present study suggest that the pathological substaging criteria of organ-confined prostate cancer via methods used in the current 2002/2010 TNM staging system may not be appropriate. Efforts should be made to upgrade the current TNM staging system for prostate cancer.
