Objective: To analyze the current status of village health worker practice and their remuneration in six provinces. Methods: After 18 counties (cities/districts) from 6 provinces are selected based on their levels of economic and social development, this paper uses self-designed questionnaires to survey all village clinics under the jurisdiction of these 18 counties. Results: The average numbers of village health workers range from 6. 79 to 19. 05 per 10,000 rural populations and 1. 36 to 3. 24 per village. In some provinces, more than 20% of the village health workers are 60 years old, and the educational level of more than 50% is technical secondary school and they have village health worker prac-ticing certificates only. The coverage ratio of medical malpractice liability insurance among village health workers in two western provinces is less than 11%. Except Jiangsu province, village health workers in the other five provinces have mainly joined the New Rural Pension Scheme ( NRPS) . Jiangsu province ranks the highest in subsidies for the services of public health and essential medicines per village health workers, and Fujian province ranked the lowest. Village health workers who are included in the administrative staffing management of township health centers account for less than 20%. Except Jiangsu province, more than 70% village health workers provide 24-hour service. The number of the outflow personnel is higher than the number of the inflow. Conclusions and Suggestions:The problem of village health worker aging is getting worse. Their education level, practicing quality and remuneration are low. This paper suggests the government not only improve the practicing quality and define the legal status of village health workers, but also in-crease the remuneration, incentives and job satisfaction of village health workers Further studies should be conducted in order to put forward a more practical advice about how to attract more health workers in rural areas.

Objective:To Compare the operational status of the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme( NCMS) in 14 Counties of 6 provinces. Methods:Two provinces were selected from eastern, central and western areas respec-tively and then two counties were chosen randomly from each province, but each of Jiangsu and Guangxi Provinces pro-vided 3 to reach the sample number of 14 counties. Excel 2007 was used for descriptive and comparative analysis of fund and in-patient service for NCMS. Results:The average funding standard was about 300 and 350 Yuan for 2012 and 2013. Hospitals outside county were frequently used and the ratio was over 40% in county I. Except Jiangsu and An-hui, the rate of enrollees who get compensation for inpatient service was over 10% and the actual compensation rate more than 50%, Fujian being an exception. Average hospitalization costs per time were different among counties and significantly rose in 2013. The ratio of out of pocket inpatient service expenses to the net rural household income was diverse among counties and it declines in some of them in 2013. The rate of fund for hospitals outside county was high and that of G counties was more than50%. The fund surplus rate was negative in that same year and was accumulatively ranging between 1 and 2%. Conclusions:The NCMS financing level was low and the personal financing responsibility was lighter;the enrollees didn’t contribute enough. In-patient service utilization structure was not rational in different level hospitals. The actual compensation rate for inpatient service didn’t increase a lot and the medical expenses burden didn’t alleviate apparently. The funds supervision was weak and it probably leaded to a high risk fund deficit.

Objective:To analyze the status quo and problems of the health human resources of township health center.Methods:296 township health centers in 18 counties of 6 provinces were selected with typical sampling and workers in the centers as target population.Relative administrative officials and directors of township health centers were interviewed.Descriptive analysis and thematic analysis were conducted with quantitative data and qualitative da-ta.Results:The volume and distribution of human resources in township health centers are not balanced and the allo-cation standard of the middle area is low.The null establishment and the employees out of establishment coexist.The allocation of health human resources inside township health centers is not reasonable and the ratio of health profes-sionals is lower than national standard.The rate of senior professionals is low.That health workers are out of stock is a potential problem in some counties.Medical education is not matched with the demand of township health centers.The recruitment policy is inappropriate and the remuneration of health professionals is low.It is difficult for the worker in township health centers to get professional promotion.Recommendations:The structure of workers in township health centers and the recruitment policy should be adjusted.The path of professional promotion should be clear in order to ex-pand the space of career development of workers in township health centers.Improving the remuneration of workers in township health centers should be considered to increase the attractiveness of the post in township health centers.

The phosphorylation is one of most common protein post-translational modifications. The protein phosphorylation plays important roles in the life through the reversible process of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation by kinases and phosphatases. Systematical analysis of the phosphorylation state of proteins would greatly help to reveal the mystery of the life. Recently, with the development of mass spectrometer, bioinformatics sortwares and enrichment methods of phosphopeptides, phosphorylation stduy of orgnism proteins by mass spectrometer has become mature gradually. Liver is one of the most important metabolic and immune organs. In-depth study of protein phosphorylation in liver is of great importance to reveal its function. And booming phosphoproteomics has been applied into the study of liver, which has deepened the knowledge of molecular mechnism of its physiology and pathology states. Here, we review the recent progress on the research and development of phosphoproteomics and their application in liver proteomics study.

Objective To study the expression level of PKM1 and PKM2 in colorectal cancer tissue and explore the relationship between colorectal cancer progression and their expression level.Methods The PKM1 and PKM2 protein expression levels in colorectal cancer tissues and adjacent tissues to carcinoma were determined by Western blot and Immunohistochemisty method, and the relationship with colorectal cancer were discussed. Results Western blot and Immunohistochemisty results all showed that, compared with adjacent noncancerous, the protein level of PKM1 decreases significantly in cancer tissues (P<0.05), while the protein level of PKM2 increases significantly in cancer tissues (P<0.05).The protein level of PKM1 is not relative with age,sex and stage of patients, but the protein level of PKM2 is relative with pTNM(P<0.05).Conclusion Colorectal cancer tissues with low level of PKM1 and high level of PKM2, and PKM2 was related with TNM of patients.

Objectives: The paper aims to analyze the practice and outcome for the rural doctors’ contracted service in Dafeng and Shengzhou counties. Methods:The methods used were typical sampling which played in selec-ting Dafeng and Shengzhou counties and interviews conducted with the director of the bureau of health in Dafeng and Shengzhou counties, the dean of the township health centers ( two for each county) and the rural doctors ( four for each county) . We adopted descriptive statistics to analyze the quantitative data and incentives. Results: The rural clinic and/or township health centers were the main contracted service providers and services were supplied to all in-habitants, especially to the target patients such as those suffering from NCDs. The individual benefit packages were designed to coordinate with local demands and the security and incentive mechanisms were established. Conclusions:Contracted service brought several benefits such as meeting the individual demands of inhabitants, rural doctors were inspired and the basic rural health system consolidated, the basic public health service quality was improved, and the function was intensified for the primary health institutions. The rural doctors’ contracted service is helpful to advance rural health care reforms, and provides more evidence in setting up the local rural health policies. It still needs fur-ther perfections. Suggestions:The rural doctors’ team construction should be strengthened and the incentive mecha-nism, summary and evaluation of their contracted service should be improved timely.

Objective To observe the expression of Klotho and Na+/Pi cotransporter in high phosphorous-induced rats with 5/6 nephrectomy and its relationship with vascular calcification,as well as to investigate the effect of early intervention by sodium thiosulfate (STS) on the progression of vascular calcification.Methods Either 5/6 nephrectomy (n=21) or sham operation (n=14) was conducted on 35 Sprague Dawley rats,who were then fed with high phosphorus (HP) diet or normal phosphorus (NP) diet for 16 weeks respectively.The rats were divided into 5 groups as follows:(1) remnant kidney rats receiving HP diet (NHP,n=7),(2) remnant kidney rats receiving NP diet (NNP,n=7),(3) sham operation rats receiving NP diet (SNP,n=7),(4) sham operation rats receiving HP diet (SHP,n=7),(5) remnant kidney rats receiving HP diet with STS (THP,n=7).The treatment group was given STS intraperitoneally three times a week for 16 weeks.At the end of the 16th week,rats tail artery blood pressures were tested,serum creatinine (Scr),calcium (Ca2+),phosphorus (P3+),FGF23,iPTH and urine protein were examined.Throacic aorta and kidney were then removed.Vascular calcification was confirmed by Von kossa staining.Klotho and Pit-1 expression in aortas were determined by immunohistochemistry.Renal lesion was determined by PASM-Masson staining.Renal Klotho and NaPi-2a mRNA were determined by real time RT-PCR.Results After 16 weeks,Scr,p3+,FGF23,iPTH,uric protein and blood pressure were significantly higher in NHP than those in SNP rats (all P ＜ 0.05).PASM-Masson staining revealed typical renal pathology of chronic renal failure in NHP group.With the treatment of STS,THP rats showed significant decrease in Scr,t3+,FGF23,iPTH,uric protein and blood pressure by comparison with NHP group (all P ＜ 0.05).Significant vascular calcification was found in NHP group while NNP and SHP group occasionally had vascular calcification;THP group had marked alleviation of vascular calcification.The aorta and renal expression of Klotho decreased remarkably while expression of Pit-1 and NaPi-2a increased significantly in NHP compared with SNP group (all P ＜ 0.05).Accordingly,the aorta and renal expression of Klotho increased and Pit-1 and NaPi-2a decreased significantly in THP compared with NHP group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The early intervention of sodium thiosulfate might regulate Klotho and Na +/Pi cotransporter expression in both aorth and kidney,decreasing serum phosphate,delaying progression of vascular calcification and improving renal function.

Objective To investigate the differences in the attitudes toward physician-nurse collaboration among undergraduate nurses and physicians,and provide evidence for creating good physiciannurse atmosphere of cooperation.Methods The Jefferson Scale of Attitudes toward Physician-Nurse Collaboration (JSAPNC) was administered to 96 undergraduate nurses and 52 physicians in admitting department.Results The participants' score of JSAPNC were relatively high,especially on the items Caring as opposed to curing and Nurse autonomy.The score of undergraduate nurses was lower than physicians on the item there are a lot of overlap responsibilities between nurses and physicians ;the score of undergraduate nurses was higher than physicians on the item physician authority.Conclusions Undergraduate nurses and physicians have a positive attitude toward physician-nurse collaboration.Nurses believe that some of their duties are common during their work,but the communication was not ideal.The overall health care rounds should include physicians and nurses,which can increase the communication,strengthen the spirit of collaboration and create good physician-nurse atmosphere.

Objective To explore the effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on neuron specific-enolase (NSE),neurotrophic protein S100B and neurons apoptosis in hippocampus CA1 region in the early stage of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in rabbits. Methods Twenty-five Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:sham group (S group),cardiac arrest group (CA group) and H2S treatment group (H2S group). Rabbits were anaesthetized with 5％ halothane,trachea was exposed and intuhated,right femoral vein was cannulated for medical agent administration,and right carotid artery was cannulated for monitoring of blood pressure and blood samples taken. Cardiac arrest was produced by suffocation with clamping the endotracheal tube and turning off mechanical ventilation.Mter 8 min of the endotracheal tube clamping, rabbits received CPR. After the restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC),rabbits in groups CA and H2S inhaled 30％ O2 or 30％ O2 containing 80 × 10-6 H2S,respectively.Blood samples were taken before,and 30 min and 60 min after ROSC for detection of the concentrations of NSE and S100B in the plasma. As 60 min after ROSC,rabbits were decapitated after perfusion with 500 ml phosphate-buffered saline and followed by 4％ paraformaldehyde 500 ml through aortic artery,and then the hippocampus was removed rapidly and fixed in 4％ paraformaldehyde for the histological examination.All values were expressed in mean ± standard deviation ((x) ± s).Comparisons were carried out among different groups with SNK-q test of one-way analysis of variance ( One-Way ANOVA plus SNK).Results In comparison with group S,the concentrations of NSE and S100B were significantly increased 30 min and 60 min after ROSC (P ＜ O.05),the viable neurons were decreased and cleaved caspase-3 positive neurons in hippocampus CA1 region increased 60 min after ROSC in groups CA and H2S (P ＜0.05).In comparison with group CA,the concentration of S1OOB decreased 60 min after ROSC (P ＜ 0.05) ; the viable neurons were increased while cleaved caspase-3 positive neurons in hippocampus CA1 region decreased 60 min after ROSC in group H2S ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions H2S can inhibit the neurons apoptosis in hippocampus CA1 region,increase the viable neurons,decrease the concentration of S100B in the plasma,and then attenuate the cerebral injury after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in rabbits.
