Objective: To investigate the function of the heath expenditure in the role of the economic growth through the research on the effect by the human capital. Methods: To establish endogenous growth models and human capital growth models of simultaneous equations, to analyze the mechanism by the method of a three-stage least squares. Results: Growth of human capital is positively related to economic growth, health expenditure growth is negatively related to economic growth, health expenditure growth and growth of human capital is positively correlated. Conclusion: Influences of health expenditure growth on economic growth depends on the comprehensive response.

Objective:To investigate the function of the quality factor in the growth of the total heath expenditure, in order to provide references for making the object of the health policy. Methods: Through the decomposition the identical equation of the growth of the total expenditure on health, to analyze the contribution of medical service quality and its factor. Results: The sustaining improvement of medical service quality in the important factor on the constant growth of the total expenditure on health. Conclusion: The primary objective of health policy is to improve the quality of medical services, and the secondary is to control the expense.

To analyze the relationship between hospital non-price competition behavior and market structure, analyze the relationship between hospital market construction and health care costs gtowth. Methods:Using cross-province data(SCP) theory to establish the regression function of health cost expenditure, hospital market concentration ratio and the occupancy of public hospital market, process the empirical analysis based on the two-factor effectiveness model of panel data. Results: There is no medical arms race in hospital business under the current market concentration. Conclusion: The reinforcement of market competition played a more important role in the improvement of operational efficiency rather than the differences in the nature of property rights and the profit of hospitals.

Objective To investigate the emergency treatment measures of spontaneous frontotemporal intracerebral hematoma.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the rescue process and surgical experiences of 27 patients with spontaneous frontotemporal intracerebral hematoma combined with subarachnoid hemorrhage or ventricular hemorrhage.Twenty-three cases underwent surgery;4 cases with cerebral hernia under general anesthesia underwent craniotomy hematoma clearance,aneurysm clip and decompressive craniectomy;7 cases with previous history of hypertension,considered with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage,was performed with craniotomy hematoma clearance and decompressive craniectomy in the emergency under general anesthesia; 12 cases of middle cerebral artery aneurysms bleeding,chosen craniotomy hematoma clearance and aneurysm clip;4 cases found nothing by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or CT angiography (CTA),were given conservative treatment,one of them was found arteriovenous malformations after 1 month,which was treated by γ-ray.Results After the surgery,2 cases died due to severe cerebral infarction,25 cases were followed up for 6 months,according to the Glasgow outcome scale(GOS) classification:17 cases with good prognosis,7 cases with poor prognosis,1 case with vegetative state.Conclusions Cerebral hernia formation in patients with spontaneous frontotemporal intracerebral hematoma should relieve cerebral hernia and mass effect as soon as possible,early surgery to save lives.Which of them without brain hernia,after diagnosis by CTA or DSA,choice suitable treatment.Sufficient preoperative evaluation,suitable surgical timing and good microsurgical techniques can improve the prognosis.

Since Hosobuchi first found that spinal cord stimulation had the effect of significantly increasing cerebral blood flow (CBF) more than two decades ago, spinal cord stimulation had attracted wide attention in the field of treating cerebral ischemia. A large number of animal and clinical studies have been performed in this field, which make it another research focus following thrombolysis and interventional therapy. This article reviews the research history, mechanisms, and current status of clinical applications of spinal cord stimulation in cerebral ischemia protection.

Objective To investigate the bettertherapeutic method and clinical efficacy of discoid meniscus injury under arthroscope.Methods Forty-one patients with discoid meniscus injury were selected as our subjects from Nov.2011 to Feb.2013,who were treated by arthroscopic surgery and performed with meniscus plasty.Thirt-eight patients were received ultra Fast-fix meniscal repair system.Joint function exercises were performed on bed within 1 month after operation.Incomplete weight bearing were performed after 1 month postoperation.After 3 month postoperation,they were permitted for full weight bearing.Results All patients were treated successfully with surgery and no postoperative complications occurred.The patients were followed up from 3.0 to 18.0 months and average was 10.5 months.The preoperative Lysholm scores were(68.28 ±8.04)) lower than that at the postoperation (88.17 ± 7.49)) and the difference were significant (t =11.59,P < 0.05).Furthermore,according to Ikeuchi criterion,the outcomes were 28 cases with excellent,10 cases with good and 3 cases with general rank.Conclusion Discoid meniscus plasty and suture under arthroscope is proved to be a better approach with less trauma,recovery quickly and fewer complications.It should be a preferred method for discoid meniscus injury.

Aim: To study the antitumor activities of the constituents of Cephalotaxus fortunei distributed in Guizhou province. Methods: The constituents were isolated by column chromatography and identified by physical and spectral analysis. Meanwhile, the anti-tumor activities of some compounds were evaluated by sulforhodamine B( SRB) and MTT assay. Results: Eleven compounds were isolated and identified as apigenin (Ⅰ), β-sitosterol (Ⅱ), acetylcephalotaxine (Ⅲ), chrysoeriol (Ⅳ), drupacine ( Ⅴ), 1-hentriacontanol ( Ⅵ), 7, 3', 4' -trihydroxyfla-vone (Ⅶ), sugiol ( Ⅷ), cephalotaxine (Ⅸ), wllsonine (Ⅹ), and hainanolide (Ⅺ), respectively. Biological screening results demonstrated that some of the tested compounds exhibited the antitumor activities in vitro. Conclusion: Compounds Ⅱ, Ⅵ-Ⅷ were isolated from this plant for the first time. Compound Ⅺ has a better inhibitory activity on cell line A549 and K562 .
