Objective: To investigate the effects of Liangxue Tongyu Formula (LXTYF), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on brain edema in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage and to explore the mechanism. Methods: Intracerebral hemorrhage was induced by using the intrastriatal autologous blood injection. Rats were randomized into sham-operated (SO) group, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) group and LXTYF group. Rats in the LXTYF group were intragastrically administered with LXTYF every day while the other two groups were given normal saline. Brain water content was determined at 24, 48, 72, and 120 h after intracerebral hemorrhage. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) level, and MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) mRNA expressions in perihematoma area were detected by gelatin zymography and fluorescence quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction at the four time points, respectively. Results: Water content in the ICH group was highly elevated after intracerebral hemorrhage, and reached to the peak at 72 h. Compared with the ICH group, the LXTYF group had lower water contents at 48, 72 and 120 h after intracerebral hemorrhage (P<0.01). The difference in water content between the LXTYF and SO groups was significant only at 72 h (P<0.01). Although the pro-MMP-9 level and MMP-9 activity in the LXTYF and ICH groups were enhanced, they were still lower in the LXTYF group than in the ICH group (P<0.01 for 24, 48, 72 and 120 h, respectively). And there was no significant difference in them between the LXTYF group and the SO group at 120 h. Meanwhile, MMP-9 mRNA expressions were increased in the ICH and LXTYF groups, but the levels in the LXTYF group were significantly lower (P<0.01 for 48, 72 and 120 h, respectively) than those in the ICH group. Also, TIMP-1 mRNA expressions at 24, 48, 72 and 120 h after intracerebral hemorrhage were up-regulated in the LXTYF group, and there were significant differences in TIMP-1 expressions between the LXTYF group and ICH group after intracerebral hemorrhage (P<0.01). Conclusion: Liangxue Tongyu Formula ameliorates brain edema in rats after intracerebral hemorrhage by inhibiting MMP-9 expression and activity and up-regulating TIMP-1.

Objective To learn the current status of family doctor service at pilot communities in Guangzhou, and discover existing problems and influencing factors by investigating the residents who have contracted such service , those have not and the family doctors . Methods This study chose typical community health centers of six communities in Guangzhou in January 2016 .In random sampling , residents who visited doctors during the survey and all the family doctors were surveyed .EpiData was used to doubly inputdata,withSPSS20.0forstatisticalanalysis.Results 66.0％ofthoseresidentswhohavenot contracted the service are willing to contract a family doctor .According to the binary logistic regression analysis after eliminating the interference factors , there are two factors affecting their willingness:gender and whether needing a family doctor for themselves and their family for health management .According to the binary logistic regression analysis after eliminating the interference factors , the influencing factors of renewing contract are overall satisfaction and necessity for signing family doctors .Conclusions The smooth development of the family doctor service is faced with many bottlenecks , while improving willingness to contract and renew contract to family doctors are the cornerstone for sustainability of the family doctor system.
