Under National Health Insurance system ( NHI) , Taiwan implemented “Family Physician Integrat-ed Health care Plan” by focusing on the key functions of primary medical institutions and family physicians. This plan had continuously strengthened the family physician system and the quality of integrated health care provision. Taiwan’s achievements and experiences were valuable for Mainland China. This paper first introduced the health sys-tem and health care provision system of primary medical institutions in Taiwan from the aspects of financing, pay-ment, health care delivery system structure, and market-capture institutions. Then, we made a comprehensive intro-duction on the policy objectives, organization structures, operation system, service schemes and health insurance pay-ment system of this plan. Finally we proposed the suggestion for integrated health care provision system in Mainland China. It is of vital importance that government should design the integrated service provision system by focusing on the key functions of family physicians. It is also of equal significance that the health administrative departments should cooperate with health insurance administrative departments to gain sufficient policy and funding resources for the plan’s successful implementation.

Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant tumor originating from bile duct epithelial cells, among which hilar cholangiocarcinoma is the most common, accounting for about 58%-70% of cholangiocarcinoma. Due to its atypical clinical features, special anatomical site, low radical resection rate, high recurrence rate and poor prognosis, the 5-year survival rate of hilar cholangiocarcinoma was only 14.7%-33.8%. Hence, the most effective method of hilar cholangiocarcinoma lies in early diagnosis and radical resection. Good perioperative management can improve the rate of radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and contribute a lot to prognosis of the patients. The perioperative management of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is described as follows.

Intervertebral disc degeneration is one of the common causes of chronic low back pain. As a common spinal disease, its clinical symptoms are mainly low back pain and limited function, which seriously affects physical and psychological health. Because of its complex and unclear pathogenesis, the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration has been the focus of scientific researchers and clinical workers. At present, the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration mainly includes non-surgical therapy and surgical therapy, which can alleviate the clinical symptoms of patients to a certain extent, but easily induce new complications, and it is difficult to restore the normal physiological function of the intervertebral disc. In recent years, along with the advanced research on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the tissues of intervertebral disc degeneration, it has been found that MMPs can be used as molecular therapeutic targets. The expression of MMPs in the intervertebral disc tissues can be regulated by reducing the content and composition of the extracellular matrix of the intervertebral disc, so as to slow down intervertebral disc degeneration and even reverse the occurrence of intervertebral disc degeneration. This treatment is expected to delay intervertebral disc degeneration caused by changes in extracellular matrix composition or content. In recent years, with the continuous development of network pharmacology and bioinformatics research, a large number of researchers have explored the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and found that TCM can reduce the degradation of extracellular matrix by inhibiting the expression of MMPs, thus alleviating the symptoms of intervertebral disc degeneration and slowing down the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration. This paper reviewed the research progress of TCM intervention in MMP expression in the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration, aiming at providing references for the application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.
