Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety between Alprostadil regular therapy in the patients with ischemic stroke. Methods We searched the electronic databases (WANFANG DATA,CNKI,and OVID) in order to obtain the randomized controlled trial (RCT)with interventions of lipo-prostaglandin E1 from January 1,2003 to March 1,2011. The methodological quality of the trials was assessed using four standards:random allocation program,allocation concealment,blind and quit.A meta-analysis of included clinical trials was performed with Revman 5.0 software. Results 13 trials were included and the data were divided into 3 groups by different outcomes,the effective rate(12 trials),the neurological deficit score(CCS,6 trials) and the daily life score (4 trials). Meta-analysis showed that after treatment,there were differences in neurological deficit (OR:-4.76,95% CI:8.46,-1.06)and daily life(OR:0.95,95% CI:-1.52,-0.38) between lipo-PGE1 treatment group and regular treatment group.The effective rate were higher in lipo-PGE1 treatment group than in regular treatment group (OR:3.75,95% CI:2.45,5.75).The improvement in the overall symptoms of ischemic stroke after lipo-PGE1 therapy was better than regular treatment.In the occurrence of adverse reactions,18 cases appeared in lipo-PGEl treatment group(among which 11 cases were vascular stimulating reactions after injection),1 case in regular treatment group. Conclusions Lipo-prostaglandin E1 is an effective drug for ischemic stroke in view of its improvements in cure rate,neurological deficit and activities of daily life.

Objective The residency training questionnaires survey made at the hospital identified major residency training requirements.Methods Literature review and expert consultation were used in questionnaire design, to survey the residents of 2014 and 2015 and discover matters of their concern, and assess the policy outcomes.Results Matters of their concern were found to be professional strength, teaching and management level, and income respectively.Compared to residents of other hospitals, these residents regard the rationality of the merit pay and subsidies as higher(27.45% vs.3.70%)in 2014.As to the new policies introduced in 2015, the gap between residents of the hospital and those from other hospitals in seeing the rationality of merit pay and subsidies tends to narrow.Conclusion The new policies have increased the residents' satisfaction on their income.

This article applied stochastic frontier analysis to estimate the efficiency of the 2007 Beijing Medicine Development Foundation,and analyzed the dominant influencing factors of the performance.The following results were found out..(1) The performance of 2007 Beijing Medicine Development Foundation was good in general,however there was a 23% gap between the actual output and the frontier output.As time passes by,the expected performance will get better.(2) There are large differences existed between various categories of projects and the different levels of institutions and project leaders.The relatively high profile projects,which means large input and more complexity,requires higher level of facility and environmental support,project manager's degree,professional title,while technical efficiency is not obvious for small scale independent innovation projects.

Objective To evaluate the performance of clinical medicine and joint research projects,funded by Capital Medical Research Fund.Method Data of clinical medicine and joint research projects were obtained from the project of Data analysis and evaluation of Capital Medical Development Scientific Research Fund.Out puts include published papers,undergraduate textbooks,prize,patents,students' trainingsnew techniques and follow-up projects; Each project is considered as an evaluation unit,the grant amount as input indicator.Then Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA),software MaxDEA 5.2 were used to calculate the relative performance of these projects.Result The rate of recovery of questionnaire was 77.70%.Among 115projects,the average score of new technology,prize obtained and patent are less than other output indexes.15 projects have no output,7 projects reached the effectiveness of DEA.11 projects obtained the pure technology efficiency,20 projects obtained scale efficiency.Conclusion The funding for projects in 2005 and 2007 are within the appropriate amount,while funding for some projects are excessive; certain projects have less outputs in personnel trainings,publications,the follow-up projects,published papers and achievements.In order to improve project performance,the quantity of published papers and personnel trainings has to be increased.
