1.Ethical Reflection on the Influence of Healthcare Human Resources Distribution on Medical Service Fairness
Chinese Medical Ethics 1994;0(05):-
The reasonable distribution of healthcare human resources is the fundamental requirement to improve medical efficiency and service quality,satisfy public's diverse requirement for medical care,and realize medical service fairness.However,various factors hinder the reasonable distribution of healthcare human resources and the realization of medical service fairness in the present medical system,including the imperfect system of human resources management,the immature system of performance appraisal,the imbalanced development of different regions,and the unpleasant environment of medical practice.This paper reflects on those issues from an ethical perspective.

Objective To explore the effect of acupuncture combined with facilitated technique on lower limb function and activities of daily living of stroke patients.Methods 120 stroke patients with lower limb palsy were divided into the group Ⅰ (treated with acupuncture combined with facilitated technique), group Ⅱ (treated with acupuncture), third group Ⅲ (treated with facilitated technique) and the group Ⅳ (treated with medicine). The lower limb function and ADL of four groups were evaluated with Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and 10 weeks after treatment.Results The scores of FAC, FMA and MBI of all the groups improved significantly, but it was more significantly in the first group than the in other groups (P<0.01), in group Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ than in group Ⅳ (P<0.01). The difference between the group Ⅱ and Ⅲ was insignificantly(P>0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture combined with facilitated technique can improve the lower limb function and activities of daily living of stroke patients more effectively.

Objective To observe the effect of the early reinforced control ability training of the trunk and pelvis on the motor function of patients with stroke.MethodsFifty-six patients with stroke were randomly divided into the therapy group and control group with 28 cases in each group. The patients of two groups were treated with regular rehabilitation training, forty-five minutes at a time, twice one day; at the same time the patients of the therapy group were administrated with the control ability training in the trunk and pelvis, twenty minutes at a time, twice one day. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale (FMA), the Barthel Index (BI) and functionality ambulation category (FAC) were used to assess the motor function of the patients, before and after the treatment.ResultsTwo months after treatment, there was a significant increasing in the FMA, BI, FAC and hemiplegia gait analysis assessment in the both groups ( P<0.05~0.01), but the walking ability of the therapy group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P<0.05).ConclusionCombined the early reinforced control ability training of the trunk and pelvis with routine rehabilitation training is obvious effect on the motor function of the patients with stroke.

Objective To elucidate cerebral cortical response to esophageal acid exposure in normal individuals by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and the characteristics of activity. Methods Fifteen volunteers were received intraesophageal perfusion with either 0.9% of sodium chloride or acid (0.1 mmol/L HC1) solutions. The modified block-design model of fMRI scanning was performed simultaneously. All of 32 minutes were needed for resting (A, 8 minutes), 0.9% of sodium chloride perfusion (B,8 minutes), acid perfusion (C,8 minutes) and 0.9% of sodium chloride perfusion again (D,8 minutes). Each chunk was consisted of 160 scans and every scan contained 3 seconds. Six hundred and forty scans were collected in all. The clinical response to esophageal acid exposure was observed and the changes in the cerebral regions was statistically analyzed. Results After perfusion of 0.9% of sodium chloride or acid, 10 out of 15 volunteers had chemosensitive complaints, such as pain in pars laryngen pharyngis, heartburn and chest complaint. The initial active domains involved deutocerebrum, anterior part of callosal gyrus, left side of insula, two sides of amygdale and subiculum hippocampi, two outers of forehead cortex. The provoked regions of acid perfusion (C-A) and 0.9% of sodium chloride perfusion again (D-A) were as same as that of the activated domains by initial perfusion of 0.9% sodium chloride (B-A). The intensity and amplitude of most provoked regions increased gradually(D-A> B-A, P< 0.01). Conclusions The two different stimulations of saline and acid provoke similar cerebral regions that may act in the regulation of esophageal sensitivity. There are the evidences of the central mechanism of esophageal visceral hypersensitivity by acid perfusion.

Hypothalamic hamartoma is a rare congenital malformation that can cause precocious puberty, epilepsy, cognitive behavior and mental disorders. Hypothalamic hamartoma is the best in vivo model for studying subcortical epilepsy in human. The eplieptogenesis of hypothalamic hamartoma has already been highlight in epilepotology. With deeply exploring and revealing its intrinsic eplieptogenesis of hypothalamic hamartoma, it can expand our research views and ultimately bring new therapies to patients. The latest research progress on epilepotology induced by hypothalamic hamartoma is reviewed as follows.

Jeavons syndrome is a rare type of childhood onset photosensitive epilepsy syndrome, which is characterized by eyelid myoclonic and absences seizure, photosensitivity, eye closure-induced seizure or eletroencephalographic (EEG) epileptiform discharges. Jeavons syndrome is often underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed. Jeavons syndrome has its unique epileptogenic mechanisms, and theclinical classification is always closely related to its treatments and prognoses. This article reviews the latest development of Jeavons syndrome in order to enhance the understanding of Jeavons syndrome.

A total of 1 685 school-age children selected from Hangzhou received lung function testing to evaluate the short-term effects of air pollution on their lung function. The results showed that in every 10 μg/m3 increase of average concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 on the day of the test and the day before the test,peak expiratory flow (PEF) decreased 0.039 (95
