China’s relationship with Africa has gained worldwide attention, with substantial scale and wide range of investment and development assistance over the past decades. We argue in this paper that China-Africa health collaboration has four main characteristics:China has a vague definition of the Development Fund for Health;there is no single development agency within Chinese government; the Chinese government is very responsive to re-quests from local government and most of the health programs are co-developed by the two governments;and China's private investment in Africa merges into the field of public development and plays an important role. Thus, China-Af-rica health collaboration has two major problems:resource mismatch and restricted impact. The case of Congo shows that in order to increase the effectiveness of China-Africa health collaboration and to make better use of the advantages of a complex system, decision-makers need to consider the bottom-up innovation and integration with local systems when making policies. They also need to avoid a scattered structure and inefficiency brought about by a complex sys-tem in order to ensure balanced consensus-building mechanisms among all stakeholders in China-Africa health collab-oration.

Objective In order to provide experimental model for the research of Human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), characterize two newly human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines established from fresh tumor tissues of two patients with HCC infected HBV.Methods The two cell lines were analyzed by morphology, double time, isoenzyme pedigree(LDH), AFP、HBsAg detection, karyotype analysis, heterotransplantation utilizing hematoxylin and eosin、ELISA、flow cytometry、Southern blot and so on. Results The two cell lines have been in continuous culture over 50 passages, which showed typical epithelial-like cells in morphology; the doubling time of cell population were found to be 19.5~59.2 hours,which showed aneuploidy and revealed chromosome average number ranging from 50 to 105. Hepatitis-B-virus(HBV)DNA was integrated in the genomes of XMS-1.No lines produced alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) and HBsAg at the protein level.Their LDH isenozyme spectrum were similar to those of embryonic liver and clinical hepatoma with the increase of the percentage of LDH-1(H-type); Cell cycle analysis showed that the ratio of cells in S、G2-M phase increased for the both cell lines compared with healthy human peripheral blood lymphocyte; LXY-1 produced solid tumors after subcutaneous heterotransplantation into nude mice and the tumor formation ratio of heterotransplantation were 100%.Conclusions The two cell lines maintained the biologic characteristics as human hepatocellular carcinoma, and will serve as a model for further studies of HCC.

Objective To study the estimated value on normal reference ranges of inferior vena cava (IVC) Doppler indices from gestation 16 to 40 weeks of fetus with color ultrasound.Methods Seven hundred and forty-four single birth gravida with gestation 16 to 40 weeks were grouped according to the gestational weeks with 27-35 cases each.The IVC Doppler indices were measured by color ultrasound,including preload index,peak velocity index and pulsatile index.Results All IVC Doppler indices rapidly declined from gestation 16 to 24 weeks,and they were relatively constant or slightly decreased throughout the end of pregnancy.Conclusions To set up the normal reference ranges of IVC Doppler indices for gestation from 16 to 40 weeks means a lot for every pregnant.This normative data may be a useful noninvasive tool for evaluation of fetal cardiac function.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic value of emergency Angiography in massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Methods 19 patients with massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage,failed by internal medicine or under instable condifion,were undergone emergency angiographic diagnosis with hemostatic or embolismic agent infusion at the same time,and were transfered fo surgical department for emergency surgery on time,then the findings of angiographic diagnosis were compwred with the ones of operation.Results All the patients were performed emergency angiography successfully.and the localigation diagnosis rate is 100%.Conclusion Emergency angiography established orientation goal for the emergency surgery,which is safe even if blood pressure of the patients was uncertain by internal medicine,and hemostasis treatment also makes chance for emergency surgery.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and the adverse reaction of transcatheter arteri-al chemoembolization( TACE)alone and combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy( SBRT)in patients with primary hepatic carcinoma by a Meta-analysis. Methods PubMed,Cochrane Library,EMBase,Ovid, MEDLIN,CNKI,CBMdisc,VIP and Wanfang were searched to identify the controlled clinical trials of TACE and SBRT for primary hepatic carcinoma. The obtained data were analyzed using Review Manager version 5. 2 provided by Cochrane Collaboration. To analysis the short-term effect of TACE alone or combined with SBRT, the rate of local tumor control and the difference of one,two,three and five-year survival rate. Results A total of 1 143 patients from 10 controlled clinical trials were involved according to the inclusion criteria. The Meta-analysis showed that TACE and SBRT group significantly increased the short-term effective rate,the rate of local tumor control,l-,2-,3-and 5-year overall survival rates(RR=1. 43,95%CI:1. 32-1. 56,P﹤0. 000 01;RR=2. 09,95%CI:1. 63-2. 69,P﹤0. 000 01;RR=1. 31,95%CI:1. 21-1. 42,P﹤0. 000 01;RR=1. 46, 95%CI:1. 23-1. 72,P﹤0. 000 01;RR=1. 76,95%CI:1. 14-2. 71,P=0. 01;RR=2. 29,95%CI:1. 22-4. 32, P=0. 01). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups on adverse events such as leucopenia(RR=0.97,P =0. 61),thrombocytopenia(RR =0. 99,P =0.85),hemoglobin decrease(RR =0. 95,P=0. 63),nausea and vomiting(RR=1. 00,P=0. 98),liver function damage(RR=0. 98,P=0. 87). Conclusion Compared with TACE,TACE combined with SBRT can increase the short-term effective rate,the rate of local tumor control,the 1-,2-,3-and 5-year overall survival time of the patients,and does not increase the incidence of adverse reaction. However high-quality trials with large sample sizes are still needed to verify the long-term efficacy and safety.

Objective To discuss the validity and the feasibility of modified specific immunotherapy of hypoglossis allergen in the treatment of children allergic asthma. Methods 100 children with allergic asthma were selected from October,2007 to April ,2008 in our hospital and divided into the observation group and the control group. The control group adopted routine method, the observation group made modifi-cation based upon routine nursing, placing emphasis on intervention of cognition and behavior of children and their parents, improvement of treatment compliance, whole- process, dynamic and continuous observa-tion of the treatment process, making individualized health education plan. The treatment compliance, total score of asthma control, and pulmonary function examination of impulse oscillation(IOS) were compared be-tween the two groups. Results The observation group was superior to the control group in treatment com-pliance, pulmonary function examination and the control results of asthma. Conclusions Specific im-munotherapy of hypoglossis allergen combined with modified nursing method can increase treatment com-pliance of children and lead to better results.

Objective To evaluate the role of serine-threonine kinase (Akt)/glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) signaling pathway in isoflurane preconditioning-induced inhibition of mitochondrial permeability transition pore protein (mPTP) opening during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Ninety-six male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 3-4 months,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =24 each) using a random number table:control group (group C);I/R group;isoflurane preconditioning group (group IPC);Akt inhibitor MK-2206 group (group MK).Myocardial I/R was induced by occlusion of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 2 h of reperfusion.In group IPC,1.5％ isoflurane was inhaled for 30 min followed by 45 min washout,and then the model of myocardial I/R injury was established.In group MK,MK-2206 300 μg/kg (in dimethyl sulfoxide) was injected intraperitoneally at 30 min before isoflurane inhalation.At 2 h of reperfusion,8 rats were selected and sacrificed,and the hearts were removed for determination of myocardial infarct size.At 2 h of reperfusion,8 rats were selected,and blood samples were collected from the right internal jugular vein for determination of serum cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed,and myocardial specimens were obtained for determination of the expression of phosphorylated GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β) in cytoplasm and mitochondria (by Western blot) and co-expression of p-GSK-3β with adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT),voltage-dependent anion channel or cyclophilin D in myocardial tissues (using co-immunoprecipitation).At 2 h of reperfusion,8 rats were selected and sacrificed,myocardial cells were obtained,and the opening time of mPTP was determined with a laser scanning confocal microscope.Results Compared with group C,the myocardial infarct size and serum cTnI concentrations were significantly increased,and the expression of p-GSK-3β in cytoplasm and mitochondria was up-regulated in I/R and IPC groups,the co-expression of p-GSK-3β with ANT was significantly down-regulated,and the opening time of mPTP was shortened in group I/R,and the co-expression of p-GSK-3β with ANT was significantly up-regulated,and the opening time of mPTP was prolonged in group IPC (P＜0.05).Compared with group I/R,the myocardial infarct size and serum cTnI concentrations were significantly decreased,the expression of p-GSK-3β in cytoplasm and mitochondria was up-regulated,the co-expression of p-GSK-3β with ANT was significantly up-regulated,and the opening time of mPTP was prolonged in group IPC,and the opening time of mPTP was significantly prolonged (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the other parameters in group MK (P＞0.05).Compared with group IPC,the myocardial infarct size and serum cTnI concentrations were significantly increased,the expression of p-GSK-3β in cytoplasm and mitochondria was up-regulated,the co-expression of p-GSK-3β with ANT was significantly down-regulated,and the opening time of mPTP was shortened in group MK (P＜0.05).No co-expression of p-GSK-3β with voltage-dependent anion channel or cyclophilin D was found in myocardial tissues.Conclusion The mechanism by which isoflurane preconditioning inhibits mPTP opening during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion is partially related to activation of Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway in rats.

Objective To evaluate the impact of fish oil (ω-3 fatty acids) parenteral nutrition (PN) on outcomes for non-ICU postoperative patients.Methods PubMed,Embase,Cochrane,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Database etc.were searched to retrieve the eligible studies published from January 2010 to June 2016.The studies included were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effects of supplementation of fish oil (Omegawen) in PN regimens for postoperative patients on clinical outcomes.The methodological quality assessment was based on Jadad scale and Schulz allocation concealment tool.Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software.Results 19 RCTs,1 170 surgical patients,were included.Meta-analysis indicated that short-term fish oil supplementation significantly reduced the incidence of infectious complications [RR =0.44,95％ CI (0.31,0.64),P ＜0.000 1] and shortened the length of hospital stay [MD =-0.85,95％ CI (-1.67,-0.03),P=0.04],while with no significant effect on mortality [RR =0.42,95％ CI (0.07,2.63),P =0.36] and total expenditure of hospitalization [MD =-216.60,95％ CI (-718.94,285.75),P =0.40].Sensitivity analysis showed similar results.Conclusion According to existing evidence,fish oil in PN for surgical patients could reduce the incidence of postoperative infectious com-plications and shorten the length of hospital stay.

Objective To investigate the effects of playing virtual reality games on the recovery of hemiplegic upper extremities after stroke.Methods Thirty stroke patients with hemiplegic upper extremities were randomly assigned to a treatment group (n=15) or a control group (n=15).Both groups received routine medication and conventional physical therapy,while the treatment group was additionally given (Nintendo) gaming-based virtual reality therapy.Before and after 2 weeks of treatment,the patients in both groups were evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for the Upper Extremities (FMA-UE),Brunnstrom staging and co-contraction ratios (CRs).Surface electromyogram signals from the biceps brachii and triceps brachii were also recorded during maximum isometric voluntary flexion and extension of the affected elbow.Results No significant differences in any of the measurements were observed between the 2 groups before or after the intervention.Both groups demonstrated significant increases in their average FMA-UE score,Brunnstrom staging and CRs.Conclusions Virtual reality gaming using a Wii controller is as effective as conventional therapy in enhancing upper extremity motor function and elbow flexion and extension after stroke.
