Objective:To analyze the benefit incidence and evaluate the implementation effects on catastrophic disease insurance under the New Rural Cooperative Medical System ( NRCMS) in Jilin Province and put forward sug-gestions to perfect the catastrophic disease insurance under NRCMS. Method: In-depth interviews with related staff were conducted to gain an understanding of the operating status of catastrophic disease insurance under NRCMS;cat-astrophic disease patient data of Jilin Province from 2013 were collected, with a comparative analysis of implementa-tion effects among nine districts;the benefit incidence was analyzed by means of the Sperman rank correlation analy-sis; Results: The policy of catastrophic disease insurance under the NRCMS exhibited sound implementation effects and played an important role in reducing the economic burden of catastrophic disease patients. The average individual expenditure decreased by 4336. 52 yuan, while the reimbursement rate increased by 11. 15% after NRCMS cata-strophic disease insurance reimbursements. Additionally, statistical analysis results showed that there was a weak cor-relation between benefit incidence and economic level, the benefit equality of catastrophic disease insurance under NRCMS was relatively good, but the benefit level of rich patients was slightly higher. Conclusion:The reimbursement scheme of catastrophic disease insurance under NRCMS should be refined and improved, and the benefit fairness of different districts must be ensured, thus achieving the goal of relieving the“poverty caused by illness” phenomenon.

AIM: To explore the relationship between caspase activation and the evasion of Legionella from macrophage elimination through a Legionella-infected macrophage model. METHODS: After infected by Legionella, the activity of caspase 3 in macrophages was analyzed by confocal microscopy as well as fluorescence reader. Growth and replication of Legionella in macrophage was assayed. Replication of Legionella was analyzed again to see the effect of caspase 3 inhibition on the growth of Legionella after use of caspase 3 inhibitor. RESULTS: Both confocal microscopy and caspase 3 fluorescent substrate analysis showed that Legionella virulent strain had powerful capability of activating caspase 3 while the mutant non-virulent strain did not have this capability. The virulent strain highly replicated in macrophages and the replication was significantly inhibited by caspase 3 inhibitor. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that the intracellular caspase 3 is activated shortly after infection by Legionella virulent strain. The evasion of Legionella from the elimination of macrophages may be mediated by caspase 3 activation to a great degree.

AIM: To explore the effect of TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL), a new apoptotic inducing molecule on the biological activity of hepatocarcinoma cell line. METHODS: The expression of membrane binding TRAIL on HepG2 cells was detected by immuno-cytochemistry. Quantity of secretory TRAIL was assayed by ELISA method. The cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by TRAIL was detected by MTT and TUNEL method, respectively. The telomerase activity of HepG2 cells was detected by TRAP-PCR assay kit. The expression of hTERT, the catalytic subunit of telomerase, was detected by FCM. RESULTS: TRAIL was constitutively expressed on the membrane of HepG2 cell line. Soluble TRAIL was also expressed to a certain degree. Cytotoxicity assay showed that TRAIL significantly inhibited the growth of hepatocarcinoma cells. TUNEL assay indicated that TRAIL induced apoptosis in hepatocarcinoma cells. Detection of telomerase activity showed that TRAIL inhibited telomerase activity and the expression of telomerase catalytic subunit. CONCLUSION: TRAIL is an effective molecule to inhibit the growth of hepatocarcinoma through multiple pathways, such as inducing apoptosis and inhibiting the activity of telomerase.

[Summary] Sixty-one patients suffering from pituitary apoplexy( PA) were mainly diagnosed according to pathologic findings, and were collected from case record, pathology, and MRI databases. They were classified into 4 types according to the clinical condition: the insidious type was characterized with only positive pathological findings;the asymptomatic type had both positive pathologic and MRI findings; the subacute type had PA associated symptoms longer than 2 weeks; and the acute type had PA associated symptoms for 2 weeks or less. The latter 2 types had positive pathological and MRI findings additionally. The basic lesions, acute or chronic symptoms, endocrinopathies and MRI findings were compared among 4 types. Results showed as followed. In all patients, there were headache(60. 7% ), blurred vision(55. 7% ), vomiting(21. 3% ), and dizziness(14. 8% ). Apoplexy associated symptoms comprised severe headache (24. 6% ), rapid vision loss (29. 5% ), and blepharopotosis or diplopia (9. 83% ). Insidious, asymptomatic, subacute, and acute types were composed of 15 (24. 6% ), 9 (14. 8% ), 19 (31. 1% ), and 18 (29. 5% ) cases, respectively. Aging and intracranial space-occupying symptoms as first complaint showed increasing trend from mild to severe types(both P<0. 05), while in chronic course it showed decreasing trend(P<0. 05). Acute massive symptoms(P<0. 01), and non-functional tumor(P<0. 01) in the 2 clinical types were much more frequent than in the two mild types. Half or more pituitary-target glands showed impaired functions in each type, and the impairment showed increasing trend through mild to severe types(P<0. 01). The present study provided a brief typing system in order to expand PA concept to a wider span covering various conditions. Some differences in tumor composition and endocrinopathies existed among the four types.

Objective To explore the related factors of lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer and to analyze the clinical efficacy between laparoscopic D2 radical resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 404 patients with early gastric cancer undergoing surgical treatment in our hospital from June 2018 to June 2022 were recruited in this study.According to their surgical treatment,they were divided into laparoscopy group(n=271)and ESD group(n=133).The lymph node metastases were compared in the patients with different clinical features,and the factors affecting lymph node metastasis were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis.The lymph node metastasis rate of patients with absolute and expanded indications of ESD was calculated.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the long-term efficacy of ESD and laparoscopic D2 radical resection in these patients.Stratified regression analysis was applied to explore the relationship between surgical methods and long-term outcome in them.Results In the 404 patients with early gastric cancer,the rate of lymph node metastasis was 12.38%(50/404).Univariate analysis showed that 7 clinical features,such as ulcer,tumor pathological features and pathological differentiation,were related to lymph node metastasis.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that low differentiation and tumor infiltration depth of submucous membrane(SM)were related factors affecting lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer.The overall survival rate was 96.29%(389/404)in the 404 patients,96.31%in the laparoscopic group and 96.24%in the ESD group,and no statistical difference was seen between the 2 groups(P>0.05).There was no obvious difference in 5-year survival rate between the patients who met the absolute indications for ESD and underwent laparoscopic D2 radical surgery and those receiving ESD treatment(96.00%vs 96.55%),and between those who were in accordance with the expanded indications for ESD and underwent laparoscopic D2 radical surgery and those receiving ESD treatment(94.74%vs 91.67%).After adjusting the clinical features such as lesion size,pathological differentiation and depth of tumor invasion by stratified regression analysis,the mode of operation for early gastric cancer was still correlated with the long-term efficacy(β=1.173,P=0.003).Conclusion The depth of tumor infiltration and differentiation are closely related to lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer patients.The efficacy of laparoscopic D2 radical surgery on the patients with absolute and expanded indications for ESD is comparable to that of ESD treatment.
