1.Study of supervision of catastrophic disease insurance under the model of governmental service purchase in China
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2017;10(4):24-30
The practice of catastrophic disease insurance in China is an important attempt to decentralize administration and build a service-oriented government.Under the developing model of governmental service purchase, an efficient supervision is the key part of ensuring and upgrading the effectiveness of catastrophic disease insurance system.Starting from theoretical analysis on the service outsourcing of the operating mechanism and its features, this paper discusses the legal attributes and supervision responsibilities of catastrophic disease insurance in China, and then explores the main problems of the current regulation system in view of regulatory responsibilities, supervisory subjects, as well as supervision contents, methods and means, etc.For these problems, it's urgent to re-draw a definite boundary of government responsibilities for the system, determine the supervisory subject as human resources and social security departments, and develop unified standards at provincial level for the bidding process.It's also necessary to establish a scientific performance evaluation system, promote multi-sector joint supervision among different government sectors involved, practice information sharing and means of digital regulation, in order to achieve efficient supervision of catastrophic disease insurance in China.

3.Government liability for contributing into the premium subsidies for basic medical insurance
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2015;8(12):23-30
The key policy for the Chinese governments to support the health insurance development has been to provide high percentage of premium subsidies in the 1 . 1 billion Yuan insured for the two of the basic medical insur-ance systems. According to the current policy, governments should share the responsibility of several hundreds of bil-lions Yuan of subsidies per year. However, because of the indistinct of the responsibility between governments at all levels and the shortage of systematic and long-term duty share mechanism, the current system has been directly affect-ing the fairer and more sustainable health insurance system development. Concerning these issues, this paper primari-ly thought about the contributory principle of subsides after analyzing the present situation and the main problems. Therefore, taking the three factors including disposable income per capita, consumption expenditure per capita and fi-nancial revenue per capita into account, it provides a“5 steps approach” about the contribution of the central govern-ment fiscal subsides using entropy evaluation method, and suggests a proposed program on the governments contribu-tion liability at the provincial or decentralized level based on the “fiscal subsides index”. Thoughts and conclusions drawn from this paper have a significant meaning into the establishment of a fairer and more sustainable financial sup-port mechanism for the basic medical insurance.

Two systems which covered nearly 1. 1 billion people in China’s social health insurance, namely the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme ( NRCMS ) and the Urban Residents’ Health Insurance System ( URHIS ) , have been depended mainly on government support with high percentage of premium subsidies. This paper deals with the current situation and probes into the main subsidy policy problems by making an overall analysis on the policies of 31 cross-country provinces , and in result points out four problems including the long-term mechanism shortage, in-distinct responsibility between governments at different levels, the equity deficiency and the subsidies inefficiency. Finally, the paper concludes with enlightening some corresponding policies and suggestions.

3T3-L1 adipocytes were cultured and differentiated into mature adipocytes in vitro. The adipocytes were intervened by ACAT inhibitor( 2 μg/ml) and ox-LDL with various concentrations (0,25,50,75,and 100 μg/ml)for 48 h,ACAT inhibitor( 2 μg/ml) and ox-LDL( 50 μg/ml) at the 0,6,18,36,and 48 h,or ACAT inhibitor( 2 μg/ml),ox-LDL( 50 μg/ml),and TUDCA with various concentrations(0,100,200,and 400 μ mol/L)for 48 h,respectively.The levels of visfatin in supernatant were examined by ELISA and the expressions of protein GRP78 and CHOP in adipocytes were detected by Western blot.After the adipocytes were treated with ACAT inhibitor and ox-LDL at different concentrations for 48 h,the cholesterol concentration and the expressions of GRP78 and CHOP protein in adipocytes and the visfatin levels in the supernatant fluid were increased with the increase of the ox-LDL concentration.The differences had statistical significance in the experimental groups compared with blank control group( all P<0.05 ).After the intervention with ACAT inhibitor and ox-LDL for different durations,the expressions of GRP78 and CHOP protein in adipocytes and the visfatin levels in the supernatant fluid were up-regulated in a timedependent manner.The differences between experimental groups and blank control had statistical significance( all P<0.05 ).After the intervention with ACAT inhibitor,ox-LDL,and different concentrations of TUDCA for 48 hours,the expressions of GRP78 and CHOP protein in adipocytes and visfatin levels in the supernatant fluid were down-regulated in a dose-dependent manner and as compared with blank control group the difference were statistically significant( all P< 0.05 ).The increase of cholesterol load in adipocyte may promote the visfatin secretion,denoting that the mechanism might be due to the enhancement of endoplasmic reticulum stress in aidpocytes.
