Objective To analyze the variations and influencing factors of hospitalization expenditure of cervical cancer patients among urban employees in Beijing from 2006 to 2010,and to provide evidences for developing reasonable measures of medical expenses control.Methods Based on the hospitalization expenditure data of 1146 cervical cancer cases,the paper probed into the changes of hospitalization age and hospitalization expenditure,and the influencing factors of hospitalization expenditure by means of descriptive analysis and multiple stepwise regression.Results The last 5 years witnessed no significant change in the first hospitalization age of cervical cancer patients,rise of hospitalization age,gradual rise of the hospitalization expenditure per time along with their age groups,as well as a rising trend of the average hospitalization expenses,average drug cost and proportion of average drug cost year by year.Results of the multiple stepwise linear regression showed that days of stay,proportion of drug cost and surgery or not as important influencing factors for hospitalization expenditure.Conclusion Hospitalization expenditure of cervical cancer keeps growing.Against this background,reasonable shortening of the days of stay,reasonable setup of an appropriate proportion of out-of-pocket payment,and reduction of the proportion of drug costs become effective means to reduce hospitalization expenditure.

Objective To analyze hospitalization expenses and influential factors of elderly inpatients with medical insurance,and to provide scientific evidences for curbing hospitalization expenses and adjusting medical insurance policy.Methods Based on hospitalization data derived from Beijing town during 2007-2011 from 65082 elderly urban inpatients under medical insurance,descriptive analysis and multiple stepwise linear regression methods were used to analyze the hospitalization expense and its influential factors.Results The last 5 year witnessed rising hospitalization expense and average hospitalization expense per admission of elderly patients with medical insurance; among the components of hospitalization expense,cardiovascular/cerebrovascular/tumor/respiratory system diseases cause the heaviest medical burden; days of stay,hospital level,out-of-pocket proportion are the most important influential factors on their hospitalization expense per time.Conclusion The hospitalization expense of elderly patients with medical insurance keeps growing.Therefore,shorter days of stay,rational referral of patients to appropriate hospitals,adjusting out-of-pocket proportion would be effective measures of curbing hospitalization expense.

A comparison was made for the correlation and application scope of the statistical methods commonly used by hospitals for their efficiency measurement.Hospital data processed with PCA (principal component analysis)for dimension reduction were used in a correlation analysis for the results of ratio analysis (RA),stochastic frontier analysis(SFA)and data envelopment analysis(DEA).The authors hold that the RA can expediently display the order of hospital efficiency,the SFA demands a stricter premise yet presents more stable results,while the DEA boasts greater relative advantages and thus suitable for processing hospital efficiency measurement tasks of multi-input and multi-output indexes.

It's a new financial management system that our country implemented the management of separating the income and expenditure in the community health services.Beijing is one of the former pilot cities which carried on the management of separating the income and expenditure.To know the effectiveness of the implementations and its influence to the health services,this article analyses the status of community health services,the financial investment and the performance results in Beijing.Considering the above,this paper also provides policy recommendations on the development of health services in Beijing to improve the new urban medical service system which based on the community health services.

0.05).Compared with the control group,the weight and viscera coefficient of testis in high dosage group,the sperm counts of epididymides in medium and high dosage experiment groups were all decreased significantly(P0.05).The activities of succinate dehydrogenase(SDH) and nitric oxide synthase(NOS) of testis in high dosage group,the activities of acid phosphatase(ACP),alkaline phosphatase(AKP) and Ca-Mg-ATPase of testis in medium and high doseage groups were all decreased significantly compared with the control group(P

Objective To evaluate the concentration of urinary cadmium and serum sex hormone in cadmium-exposed male workers and explore the affecting factors and related mechanism.Methods The individuals exposed to cadmium from three workshops 40 in each, in a cadmium rechargeable battery manufacture plant were selected as the exposure groups according to concentrations of cadmium oxide in the workplace in November 2008, namely assembly, charging and butt-weld workshop for low, moderate and high dosage group.Another forty male workers without cadmium exposure of the same plant were selected as the control group.Urinary cadmium, serum testosterone,FSH and LH concentrations were measured and urinary cadmium concentration abnormity rate was calculated for the following analysis.Results Compared with the control group, the urinary cadmium concentration and its abnormity rate of the low and high dosage groups were all significantly increased(P9 years groups were all significantly increased(P

Under the socialist market-oriented economic system, state-owned hospitals need to overcome many problems in their traditional management system. The authors discuss a series of issues, including the property right involved in the reform of the management system of state-owned hospitals; the relationships between nonprofit hospitals run by the government and ways of handling them; the conditions of using the corporation management structure in hospitals; the responsibilities of the government in the framework of medical services and the form in which the government supervises state-owned hospitals. Lastly, the authors put forward suggestions from the perspective of policy-making on the reform of the management system of state-owned hospitals.

Objective Probing into a way to reform the assessment indexing of diagnosis and treatment in clinical specialties, to help with objective assessment and ranking among hospitals in terms of the performances of their respective specialties. Methods Treatment outcomes of the diseases pinpointed by heart physicians and urology surgeons of three hospitals in 2005 as the criteria to calculate the adjusted value for fatality rate and cure rate. Results The adjusted value of fatality rate for the heart physicians is CFR≥1, and that of cure rate for the urology surgeons is CFR≤1. A trial assessment is made based on these figures, and a ranking is achieved on the diagnosis and treatment outcomes of the clinical medicine specialties in these three hospitals as a result. Conclusions Diseases as the assessment levels for medical quality of clinical medicine specialties and relative risks as the core computation adjusted factor, may help yield the indexes and methodology for clinical medicine specialties in line with China's specifics.

Objective To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on the expression of phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3) in cortical neurons in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods Forty-five adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 280-320 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =15 each):sham operation group,I/R group and EA pretreatment group.Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 120 min,followed by 24 h of reperfusion.EA of Baihui acupoint lasting 30 min was performed and then the model of focal cerebral I/R was established 24 h later in EA group.Neurological function was assessed and scored at 24 h of reperfusion.The rats were then sacrificed and brains removed for detection of the cerebral infarct volume and expression of pSTAT3 (Ser727) in cortical neurons in ischemic penumbra by immunofluorescence and Western blot.Results Compared with sham operation group,the neurological function score was decreased,the infarct volume was increased,and the expression of pSTAT3 (Ser727) was up-regulated in groups I/R and EA (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with I/R group,neurological function score was increased,the infarct volume was decreased,and the expression of pSTAT3 (Ser727) was up-regulated in group EA (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion EA pretreatment reduces focal cerebral I/R injury through up-regulating pSTAT3 expression in cortical neurons in rats.

Objective To verify whether the concomitant performance of modified radical inguinal lymphadenectomy and penectomy may increase complications and compromise oncological effectiveness.Methods From June 2002 to June 2010,a total of 110 simultaneous inguinal lymphadenectomies were performed on 55 patients (mean age 49 years),including 107 modified radical lymphadenectomies,2 radical lymphadenectomies and 1 lymphadenectomy before which the sapheous vein was resected.The records of all patients were reviewed.Results Of 107 simultaneously modified radical inguinal lymphadenectomy,only 1 (0.9％) had wound infection.There were 18 ( 16.8％ ) leg lymphedema and 6 (5.6％) skin flap necrosis,postoperatively.The average number of inguinal lymph nodes dissected was 11 (3 -23 ).Overall 3-year survival was 84％.Conclusions Penile surgery combined with simultaneously modified radical inguinal lymphadenectomy could be feasible,which may have oncological control without increasing the risk of surgical complications.
