The drug and medical consumables management center in Wuhu features the operational mechanism separating the decision-making power of drug purchasing,the executive power and the supervision power.This practice terminates the interest chain previously found between medicine suppliers with hospitals,pharmacies and doctors,creating the Wuhu Model of drug and medical service separation at public hospitals.The drug zero-profit policy reshapes the drug supply system and the existing compensation mechanism of public hospitals,further defining the Wuhu Model.This model is paving the way for the same reform to be carried out nationwide.

The separation of drug and medical service is key to alleviating the social problem of high medical expenses,and the top thing to do is to cut off the profit link found in the drugs purchase and sales interests chain.Pharmacies of the hospital are found to play a crucial role in this chain,as they not only take part in the decision-making of drug purchase but also directly purchase and dispense drugs.Wuhu has established the Medicine and Medical Consumables Management Center,which directly regulates the pharmacies and detach them from this chain,weakening their rent-seeking power.Practices of this reform found the pharmacies no longer playing a dominant role in drug purchase/dispensation on one hand,and yet less incentives of the pharmacies due to management by the Center on the other,resulting in poorer pharmaceutical management of the hospital as a result.In this consideration,pharmacies have experienced a detachment and return process from their hospital in the reform of drug and medical service separation in Wuhu.Experiences prove the correct way out is to guide the pharmacies to upgrade from logistics in drug supply to innovated services,thus better serving hospital management.

Objective:To compare the clinical and imaging characteristics between central nervous system vasculitis(CNSV)and mitochondrial encephalomyopathy(ME),so as to analyze the differential diagnosis of the two disorders.Methods:Clinical data on seven patients with CNSV and five with ME were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical manifestations,laboratory parameters,imaging features and histological characteristics were compared to screen for the evidence of their differential diagnosis.Results:The MRI results of both CNSV patients and ME patients(MELAS type)showed a multi-lesion pattern.The symptoms of CNSV patients included headache,limbs weakness,and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)increase.The symptoms of MELAS patients included epilepsy and increased serum lactic acid.The electroencephalographic manifestations of both diseases were abnormal:CNSV patients mainly had diffused lesions accompanied with limited alterations;ME patients had evidence of epileptic discharge,which was consistent with the clinical symptoms.Conclusion:Clinical manifestations of CNSV and ME patients are more valuable than imaging findings in the diagnosis of the two diseases.CNSV is characterized by vascular disorders and inflammatory reactions;ME is characterized by abnormal energy metabolism and severe damage of gray matter.The final diagnosis should depend on laboratory and histological examinations.

β-Glucan is a kind of highly conservative composition on fungal cell wall.As a recognition receptor of β-glucan,dendriticcell-associatedC-typelectin-1 (dectin-1)widely distributeinsingle-nuclea macrophages system,dendritic cells ( DC )and neutrophil cells.Through the identification of fungal cell wall composition and cells signal transduction,dectin-1 induces the production of cytokine and chemokine and then starts a nonspecific and specific immunity response.Dectin-1 plays a key role in antifungal immune response.Here,the molecular structure,tissue cells,signal transmission and the immune inflammation role of dectin-1 in corneal infection were reviewed.

Objective To study the changes of plasma brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)level in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF),and explore the relationship between plasma level of BNP and paroxysmal AF,persistent AF,rheumatic AF and non-rheumatic AF.Methods In total,158 outpatients and inpatients diagnosed as heart diseases were selected from the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical College during October 2005 to January 2007,83 with AF and 75 without AF.Their cardiac function Was evaluated according to the classification system of the New York Heart Association(NYHA)in the United States.Plasma level of BNP was measured with bi-monoclonal antibody microparticulate enzyme immunoassay(MEIA).Results Plasma BNP level was significantly higher in AF group[(112±75)ng/L]than that in non-AF group[(39±26)ng/L,P＜0.05]with same ventricular function.No significant difference in plasma level of BNP between the groups with paroxysmal AF[(113±84)ng/L]and with persistent AF[(110±69)ng/L]was found.Plasma level of BNP Was(84±73)ng/L in the group with rheumatic valvular AF,not significantly different from that in non-valvular AF[(117±76)ng/L,P＞0.05].Conclusion Plasma BNP level is higher in AF group than that in non-AF group,but no significant difference in plasma BNP level between patients with paroxysmal AF,persistent AF,rheumatic valvular AF and non-rheumatic AF,under same ventricular function,was found.

Objective: The aim of this study was designed to certify the effects of substance P(SP) on thermo-gonohormonal neuron. Methods: We used the technique of extracellular microelectrode recording, and examined the effects of intravenously injections of SP on electroactiveties of thermo-gonohormonal neurons in PO/AH of rats. Results: Total of 9 warm-estradiol sensitive and 4 cold-estradiol sensitive neurons were recorded in PO/AH, where estradiol excited electroactivities of the warm-estradiol sensitive neurons but inhibited those of the cold-estradiol sensitive ones. While SP reversed the effects of estradiol bezonate on the above mentioned neurons. Conclusion: From our results and related data we may draw conclusions that the thermoregulatory effects of SP may be functioned via hermo-gonohormonal neuron.
