Objective:To examine the utilization and cost of outpatient care and their influencing fac-tors among middle and aged peasant-workers in China. Methods:The data of China Health and Retire-ment Longitudinal Study ( CHARLS) collected in 2011-2012 were used and the data on peasant-workers aged 45 years and older were analyzed with Two-part Model. Results: The four-week outpatient rate of middle and aged peasant-workers was 13. 7% (407/2 974). The determinants of the rate included gen-der, marital status, economic level, household size, the place of insurance enrollment, self-assessed health and having or having no chronic diseases. The average outpatient cost was (400. 3 ± 56. 7) yuan (RMB) and the median was 138. 0 yuan. Multivariate analyses showed that outpatient costs were higher for those males who lived in Eastern China and worked at the same place with insurance enrollment, with fair to bad self-assessed health and chronic diseases. Conclusion:Allowing higher flexibility for migrants to transfer the new rural cooperative medical system ( NCMS ) between rural and urban areas and thus making reimbursement for medical services provided by undesignated providers received immediately could increase the use of outpatient services.

OBJECTIVE: Explore the TGF-beta1 and collagen fibers in chronic nasal sinusitis each type and degree of expression of the normal control group and in the nasal mucosa epithelial tissue remodeling and the role of TGF-beta1 and collagen deposition relationship.

Objective: To investigate the effect of medication on left ventricular myocardial matrix remodeling in neuroendocrine hypertensive rats and the mechanism and inhibitive method thereof. Methods: A neuroendocrine hypertensive model was established with adult Wistar rat. A total of 34 rats were randomly divided into four groups: parzosin (Hα), cilazapril (Hace), pentoxifylline(Hptx) and hypertensive control group(Hc). Ten normal-tensive Wistar rats were used as normal control (Nc). The systemic blood pressure, serum procollagen type Ⅲ level, serum TNF-α level, collagen volume fraction(CVF) were detected. Results: In Hace group, systolic pressure, left ventricular weight, the levels of serum procollagen type III and TNF-α were all reduced obviously compared to those in Hc group(P < 0.05). In Hα group, the systolic pressure and left ventricular weight were reduced obviously compared to those in Hc group(P < 0.05), however, the levels of serum procollagen type III and TNF-α were higher than those of Nc group(P < 0.05). In group Hptx, the systolic pressure and left ventricular weight were not decreased, while the levels of serum procollagen typeⅢ,TNF-α and CVF were reduced to normal levels. Conclusion:The angiotensin coverting enzyme inhibitor is the effective agent to reverse myocardial fibrosis, which can be achieved mostly by the inhibition of AngⅡ. Pentoxifylline may inhibit and reverse myocardial fibrosis which correlated with inhibiting TNF-α.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the rationality of the personnel of pharmacy department and pro-moting the development of related pharmacy work in hospitals of Bengbu. METHODS:Questionnaire was designed to investigate and statistically analyze the general situation of secondary and tertiary hospitals in Bengbu in aspects of personnel,dispensing work-load and post setting,suggestions were put forward. RESULTS:Totally 13 questionnaires were sent out,10 were effectively re-ceived with the effective rate of 76.9%. The average proportion of investigated pharmacy staff to the whole health technical workers was 5.0%;primary pharmacist was 39.0%,chief pharmacist was 2.2%;college education was 44.9%,master degree or above was 3.0% ;the average daily prescription volume of outpatient was 375,daily trips of inpatient department was 267;4.4% of the staff were engaged in clinical pharmacy,only 4 hospitals carried out clinical pharmacy work;only 1 hospital had the Pharmacy Intrave-nous Admixture Service (PIVAS). CONCLUSIONS:The hospital pharmacy personnel configuration is not reasonable in Bengbu, dispensing is overloaded,the development of PIVAS is lagging behind,clinical pharmacy work remains to be further improved. It is suggested to promote the work of hospital pharmacy by increasing the numbers of pharmacy personnel,technical titles and practi-cal skills of the pharmacy staff,strengthening the construction of PIVAS and the cultivation of clinical pharmacists according to the condition.

AIM: The role of external-signal regulated kinaseⅠ/Ⅱ(ERKⅠ/Ⅱ) in the induction and maintenance of spinal long-term potentiation(LTP) is evaluated.METHODS: The C-fiber evoked field potentials were recorded at the superficial layers of spinal dorsal horn at the lumbar enlargement.RESULTS:(1) PD98059(100 ?mol/L) or SL327(200(?mol/L)),a selective MEK inhibitor,completely blocked LTP induction when applied at 30 min prior to tetanic stimulation.(2) PD98059 or SL327 reversed spinal LTP in a time-dependent manner.At 15 min after LTP induction,PD98059(100 ?mol/L) or SL327(200 ?mol/L) reversed LTP completely,and at 30 min after LTP induction,the inhibitory rate of spinal LTP inhibited by PD98059 or SL327 was 62.5% and 75.0%, respectively.At 1 h after LTP induction,however,the same concentration of PD98059 or SL327 did not affect the spinal LTP.CONCLUSION: Activation of ERKⅠ/Ⅱ in spinal dorsal horn may be crucial for the induction and the early-phase maintenance of LTP of C-fiber evoked field potentials.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence rate of nasal septum fracture and it's influence on the effect of nasal bone reduction. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 212 cases of nasal fracture compared with nasal septum deviation were carried out. Among these cases 112 treated with nasal bone reduction only was called group A; the other cases were treated with nasal reduction concomitantly with septoplasty. Among them 58 cases were diagnosed with nasal septum fracture, it was called group B; 42 cases were diagnosed with nasal septum deviation, it was called group C. The postoperative nasal deformity rate was assessed, and the intraoperative findings of nasal septum contrast with preoperative CT diagnosis was analysed. RESULTS Three months after the operation, 27 cases (24.1%) of nasal deformity were found in group A; 9(9.0%) cases of nasal deformity were found in group B+C; septum fracture was found in 58 cases (100%) in group B and 30(71.8%) cases in group C introperatively. The diagnosis rate of nasal septum fracture by CT was 58.0%, while it's incidence rate was 88.0%. CONCLUSION More nasal septum fractures were observed introperatively than CT findings, and septoplasty concomitantly with nasal bone reduction can obviously reduce the rate of nasal deformity.
