Objective:To learn about the current medical security level of hospitalization expenses for rural children in Xiantao City, Hubei Province through the analysis of the inpatient service demand and the actual medical insurance compensation level. Methods:Access to hospitalization information for children through institutional survey;Focus group interview;Using Excel 2010 and SPSS19. 0 software to analyze data. Results:The hospitalization rate for children aged 0~4 reaches 25. 5%. Their actual inpatient reimbursement rate, which is only 44. 7%, is lower than the total population. The proportion of the expenditures out of the reimbursement directory is almost equal between the children and total population. Conclusion:This paper suggests to reduce the deductibles and increase the reimbursement rate of children's medical securi-ty, improve the settlement on ecdemic medical care, and increase the investment of pediatric medical resources.

Objective To investigate papillary muscle function and construction in myocardial infarction(MI) patients by two-dimensional speckles tracking imaging(2D-STI),and to analyze the influence factors of ischemic mitral regurgitation.Methods Fifty myocardial infarction with ischemic mitral regurgitation(IMR) patients were brought into case group.The patients were divided into two groups:Ant MI group and Inf-Pos-MI group.Forty-five health volunteers were involved as control group.Anterior,posterior papillary muscle longitudinal strain (ALS,PLS),delay time(DT),fractional shortening (FS),length between the posterior or anterior papillary muscle tips and the contralateral anterior mitral annualr (APM AMA,PPM AMA),mitral leaflet closure (MLC),inter distance papillary muscle (IPMD) were aquired respectively.Papillary muscle function and construction among the groups were compared,and the effective factors of IMR were evaluated.Results Between the control group and Ant-MI group,the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volume(LVEDV,LVESV),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),ALS,delay time(DT),A FS,IPMD,MLC,APM-AMA,PPM-AMA were significantly different(all P ＜0.05).Between the control group and Inf-Pos-MI group the LVEDD,LVEDV,LVESV,EF,DT,PPM-AMA,MLC,PLS,P-FS were significantly different(P ＜0.05).Between the Ant-MI group and Inf-Pos-MI group,the LVEDD,LVEDV,LVESV,EF,MLC,ALS,PPM-AMA,PLS were significantly different (all P ＜ 0.05).In the Ant-MI group,LVEDV,ALS,MLC were significantly correated with Gensini score(r =0.71,-0.65,0.56;P ＜0.05).In the Inf-Pos-MI group,PPM AMA,PLS were significantly correated with Gensini score(r =0.65,-0.76;P ＜0.05).In the Ant MI group and Inf-Pos-MI group,the ALS,PLS,PPM-AMA were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05).Its correlates in Logistic analysis of Ant-MI group included LVEDV,MLC,DT with OR 1.48,1.72,1.54(P ＜0.05),respectively.Its correlates in logistic analysis of Inf Pos-MI group included PLS,PPM-AMA,DT with OR 1.78,1.57,1.56 (P ＜0.05),respectively.Conclusions There are different extent of damage of papillary muscle function and construction in Ant-MI group and Inf-Pos-MI group.The increases of LVEDV and MLC and desynchronization of PMs are risk factors of IMR in Ant-MI group.The increases of PMP-AMA,decrease PLS and desynchronization of PMs are risk factors of IMR inInf-Pos-MI group.

Purpose To evaluate papillary muscle function in ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) with two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) and three-dimensional ultraphonic technology,and to investigate the primary factors influencing IMR so as to provide clinical information for the prediction of IMR.Materials and Methods Seventy-six IMR patients were enrolled as research group and other 66 healthy volunteers as control group.Two groups were both examined by transthoracic echocardiography and 2D-STI.The parameters including fractional shortening of anterior and posterior papillary muscles (AFS,PFS),length of anterior or posterior papillary muscle tips to contralateral anterior mitral annular (APM-AMA,PPM-AMA),mitral leaflet closure (MLC),inter distance papillary muscle (IPMD),the angle between the anterior papillary muscle and the anterior LV free wall (Ang Ⅰ) and the angle between the posterior papillary muscle and the anterior LV free wall (Ang Ⅱ),anterior and posterior papillary muscle longitudinal strain (ALS,PLS) and peak time (APT,PPT),delay time (DT),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVIDD),left ventricular end-diastole volume (LVEDV),and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were compared.Results Compared with control group,LVIDD,LVEDV,LVEF,AFS,PFS,IPMD,MLC,ALS,PLS and DT in research group were all significantly different (all P＜0.05).ALS,PLS,AFS,and PFS had positive correlation with LVEF (P＜0.05) and negative correlation with LVEDV (P＜0.05).MLC,IPMD,DT had negative correlation with LVEF (P＜0.05).ALS,PLS,MLC,AFS,PFS,IPMD were significantly correlated with Gensini score (r=-0.65,-0.78,0.54,-0.51,-0.57,0.49,respectively,P＜0.05).The multivariant Logistic regression analysis showed that IMR was correlated with IPMD,MLC,PLS and DT (OR=1.26,1.32,1.37,1.52,respectively,P＜0.05).Conclusion 2D-STI can accurately evaluate the papillary muscle dysfunction caused by myocardial ischemia.Moreover,the risk factors of IMR include increase of IPMD and MLC,decrease of PLS,and desynchronization of papillary muscles.These findings contribute to the clinical prediction of IMR.

Alternative splicing of pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) is a crucial mechanism for the diversity of the human transcriptome and proteome. Alternative splicing is a complex gene regulation process. Whole-transcriptome analysis shows that 95% of human exonic genes are alternatively spliced, involving various cis-acting elements and trans-acting factors. Any changes in any component or step may cause erroneous splicing events and lead to the occurrence of various related diseases. In addition to gene replacement therapy that directly changes the splicing results, RNA splicing modification is expected to become a new therapeutic strategy to alleviate or treat diseases by targeting and correcting abnormal pre-mRNA splicing. Splicing modification tools currently developed including RNA trans-splicing, antisense oligonucleotides, small interfering RNA, and small molecule drugs can correct abnormal splicing through different ways. This article reviews the resent progress of epigenetic regulation of pre-mRNA alternative splicing in recent years, and discusses the occurrence and regulation of alternative splicing, the types of diseases caused by related splicing defects, and the current-used tools for targeting and altering splicing. The importance of splicing modification strategies in the future treatment of human diseases is envisioned.

The clinical value of applying portal vein resection and reconstruction in left trisectionectomy for treating advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma is approved, while it is still a big challenge for clinicians. One female patient suffering from abdominal pain and jaundice received treatment in the General Hospital of PLA in July, 2009. She was prelimiarily diagnosed with Bismuth type Ⅲ a hilar cholangiocarcinoma. A tube was inserted in the left lateral inferior bile duct to carry out percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). After the anatomic variation of the left bile duct was found, the diagnosis was revised as Bismuth type Ⅳ. A left trisectionectomy was proposed, and another PTBD tube was inserted in the right posterior bile duct.Combined portal vein resection and reconstruction and left trisectionectomy was successfully performed. The postoperation course was uneventful, except for the transient liver dysfunction and biliary-enteric anastomotic leakage.
