Objective To observe the effect of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) on articular and synovial in a rabbit model of osteoarthritis (OA).Methods 48 male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups:AOPPs group,PBS group and sham-operated group.OA model were created in AOPPs group and PBS group by anterior cruciate ligament transection and medial meniscus resection (ACLT+MMx).then intra-articular injection of 1 ml AOPPs or PBS were performed once every other day in AOPPs group and PBS group,respectively.In sham-operated group,the anterior cruciate ligament was just exposed without transection,and then the incision was sutured.All rabbits were saerificed after 4 and 8 weeks of intervention,respectively.Results The India ink seore of 4 and 8 weeks were 4.19±0.60,5.75±0.60 in AOPPs group,and 1.06±0.18,1.38±0.60 in sham-operated group,2.50±0.46、3.06±0.62 in PBS group,respectively.In addition,the differences were statistically significant among the three groups.The Mankin score of 4 and 8 weeks were 8.19±0.70,11.94±0.90 in AOPPs group,and 0.75±0.53,1.06± 0.73 in sham-operated group,4.25± 1.46、4.50±0.89 in PBS group,respectively.The differences were statistically significant among the three groups.Meanwhile,the protein expression level of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-3 on synovial at 4 and 8 weeks in AOPPs group were 1.006±0.080,1.098±0.088;0.065±0.006,0.053±0.011 in sham-operated group;and 0.552±0.024,0.839±0.084 in PBS group,respectively.The proteiu expression level of MMP-13 on synovial at 4 and 8 weeks in AOPPs group were 0.966±0.080,1.621 ±0.041;0.101±0.022,0.367±0.033 in sham-operated group;and 0.564±0.030,1.322±0.085 in PBS group,respectively.The differences were statistically significant among the three groups at two times.Conclusion AOPPs participate in the occurrence and development of artieular cartilage by upregulating the protein expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 on synovial.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of the new operation mechanism of public hospitals in Sanming, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the sustainable development of the new operation mechanism for public hospitals.Methods:The data on medical income and patient costs of public hospitals in Sanming and the whole country from 2011 to 2021 were selected, structural variation analysis was used to analyze and compare the changes in the structure of medical income of public hospitals in Sanming City and the whole country, and descriptive analysis was carried out on the patient burden costs, in order to validate the effect of the new operation mechanism for public hospitals in Sanming.Results:From 2012 to 2021, the cumulative values of structure variation in medical service revenue and drug/consumable revenue of public hospitals in Sanming City were 29.58% and -32.29% respectively, better than the national figures of -0.95% and -0.68%; the annual contribution rate of structural variation in the medical service revenue and drug/consumable revenue of public hospitals in Sanming were 78.10% on average, higher than the national figure of 49.43%. From 2011 to 2021, the average increase in the average outpatient and emergency care costs per patient in public hospitals in Sanming was 4.35%, lower than the national average of 5.97%; the average increase in the average inpatient costs per patient was 3.91%, lower than the national average of 5.40%.Conclusions:The new mechanism for the operation of public hospitals in Sanming is effective and sustainable under certain policy conditions.
