Methods for such study were enumerated and commented upon.Some problems that arised in the study were discussed. It was suggested that the study of metabolic chem-istry on TCD and its compounded preparations should be further pursued.

Objective:To investigate the use of simple pooling and bivariate model in meta-analyses of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) published in Chinese journals (January to November, 2014), compare the differences of results from these two models, and explore the impact of between-study variability of sensitivity and specificity on the differences. Methods:DTA meta-analyses were searched through Chi-nese Biomedical Literature Database (January to November, 2014). Details in models and data for four-fold table were extracted. Descriptive analysis was conducted to investigate the prevalence of the use of simple pooling method and bivariate model in the included literature. Data were re-analyzed with the two models respectively. Differences in the results were examined by Wilcoxon signed rank test. How the re-sults differences were affected by between-study variability of sensitivity and specificity, expressed by I2 , was explored. Results:The 55 systematic reviews, containing 58 DTA meta-analyses, were included and 25 DTA meta-analyses were eligible for re-analysis. Simple pooling was used in 50 (90. 9%) systematic reviews and bivariate model in 1 (1. 8%). The remaining 4 (7. 3%) articles used other models pooling sensitivity and specificity or pooled neither of them. Of the reviews simply pooling sensitivity and specificity, 41(82. 0%) were at the risk of wrongly using Meta-disc software. The differences in medians of sensitivity and specificity between two models were both 0. 011( P<0. 001, P=0. 031 respectively). Greater differences could be found as I2 of sensitivity or specificity became larger, especially when I2 >75%. Conclusion:Most DTA meta-analyses published in Chinese journals(January to November, 2014) combine the sensitivity and specificity by simple pooling. Meta-disc software can pool the sensitivity and specificity only through fixed-effect model, but a high proportion of authors think it can implement random-effect model. Simple pooling tends to underestimate the results compared with bivariate model. The greater the between-study variance is, the more likely the simple pooling has larger deviation. It is necessary to increase the knowledge level of statistical methods and software for meta-analyses of DTA data.

The family doctor service is an important measure to transform primary health care mode,makes the community health service institutions to take on the gatekeeper role of residents' health and health care costs,and promotes the achievements of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment.At present,there are some difficulties in the process of family doctor service.For example,the construction of the general practitioner team is lagging behind and the residents don't understand the specific contents of the family doctor service well.Medical social workers have both the social work professional skills and medical literacy,which makes them become the effective strength of community health service.Introducing medical social workers by the purchase of the governments,volunteer training,and job settings mode can meet the needs of the development of family doctor service to some extent,and bring in new ideas to the implementation of the family doctor service.

Objective To compare the performance of 2 kinds of quantitative detection method the chemiluminescence immu-moassay and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)for detecting serum human epididymis geneproduct 4(HE4),and to explore the accuracy and practical value of the two methods.Methods In accordance to the document EP9-A2 of NCCLS,the Roche automatic electrochemical immunoassay system as the comparative method(X)and the ELISA as the testing method(Y )were per-formed according to the requirements of the detection kits.Results The serum HE4 level could be accurately reflected by the two methods.The correlation coefficient(r)in comparing these two kinds of method was ≥0.975,which showed that there was a high correlation between them.The detection results of the two methods were compared by paired sample t-test,and no statistically sig-nificant difference was found between them(P >0.05).Conclusion Because of CLIA′88 giving no specific medical decision level of HE4 and clinical acceptable level,therefore the expected bias of credibility interval can not be calculated or whether being clinically acceptable is unable to be judged.Based on the comparison of paired sample t test,these two kinds of detection methods can be used interchangeably to a certain extent.

To investigate the effect of proteasome inhibitor MG132 on the apoptosis of bovine lens epithelial cells (BLECs), the cells were treated with MG132 at different concentrations for12, 24 and 36 h. The cell viability was analyzed by MTT assay and the effect of MG132 on the apoptosis of BLECs was assessed by flow cytometry (FCM). The results showed that after treatment for the same period, the inhibitory effect of MG132 on BLECs proliferation was enhanced with the increment of the concentration of MG132 (0, 2, 5, 10, mumol/L) (P<0.05). The 50% inhibiting concentration (IC(50)) was 2.03 mumol/L when the BLECs were treated with MG132 for 36 h. MG132 also induced the apoptosis of BLECs obviously. FCM showed that the apoptosis index of the cells treated by MG132 at 2 mumol/L for 12 h was (20.24+/-1.51)%, and that of the control was (0.98+/-0.20)% respectively (P<0.01, n=3). It was concluded that MG132 could lead to apoptosis of BLECs. The decrease of proteasome activity may play an important role in the formation and development of cataract.
