A field survey of three counties in a province in west China analyzed the public health performance from the dimensions of input, output and outcomes, and computed the composite evaluation indexes for public health performance of the sample areas. The indexes so obtained are as follows: Low public health input in general; gap of public health outcomes among various public health programs;generally high outcome performances. The paper proposed to improve the fund raising mechanism for rural public health, build a performance-based investment mechanism, balanced provision of primary public health services, and secure supports from all the society, in an effort to promote public health development in rural areas.

Objective To evaluate the levels of high-sensitivity-CRP(hs-CRP),interleukin-10(IL-10) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods Fifty cases with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome from Jul.2012 to Dec.2013 in the People's Hospital of Pudong New Area were selected as our subjects,of which,22 patients were with mild-moderate OSAHS and 28 patients were with severe OSA.Twenty-seven health people were served as control group.The levels of hs-CRP,IL-10 were measured.Information of sleep study and other clinical characteristics were collected.Results There were no significant differences in terms of age,hip circumference and waist-to-hipratio (WHR) among three groups (P ＞0.05).Body mass index (BMI),neck circumference,waist circumference,Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI),the lowest arterial oxygen saturation(SaO2％) and hs-CRP in mild,severe OSA and control group were (28.01 ±3.41),(28.55±2.87) and (5.51±3.28) kg/m2,(41.18±4.37),(41.46±3.32) and (38.76±2.66) cm,(101.86±8.05),(102.32±7.97) and (94.56±10.25) cm,(44.55±16.26),(10.54±7.08) and (2.02 ±1.51) time/h,(85.05±6.40)％,(72.85±15.07)％,(88.59±3.43)％,(8.35±2.71),(9.19±2.85),(7.06 ± 1.30) mg/L,and the differences were significant(P＜0.05).In patients with OSA,SaO2％ was related to BMI (r =-0.274,P =0.027) and AHI (r =-0.651,P ＜ 0.001).Level of hs-CRP was associated with AHI (r =0.336,P =0.006) and BMI (r =0.247,P =0.047),and weakly associated with IL-10 concentrations.Conclusion Levels of hs-CRP is an important inflammation marker of OSAHS severity.However,levels of IL-10 shows an increasing in mild-moderate OSA patients,then decreasing in patients with severe OSA.

Objective To explore the method of the major hospital indexes examination using clinical pathway as an opportunity.Methods Based on the material of our hospital from 2008 to 2010,reference the data of the same level hospital in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,we set the benchmark and formulated the examination standard of three examination indexes:average length of stay (ALOS),average hospitalization expense and drug proportion.Meanwhile,we took the subentry incentives to give the corresponding reward to clinical departments according to the decreases rate compared with the benchmark monthly.Results ALOS,average hospitalization expense and drug proportion of department and the whole hospital were obviously decreased compared with the same period last year,and the differences were statistically significant (Medical system:t =27.479,14.462,11.362,all P ＜ 0.01 ; Surgical system:t =18.944,16.029,12.071,all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion After using the examination methods and combining clinical pathway,the effects are obvious,which can effectively shorten ALOS,reduce average hospitalization expense and drug proportion,so as to relieve the patients' economic burden.

Objective To look for and confirm the downstream regulated gene of microRNA (miRNA)-148a in pancreatic cancer cell line.Methods The target gene regulated by miRNA-148a was predicted through bio-informatics analysis.The plasmid containing desired gene and with luciferase 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) reporter was constructed.Pancreatic cancer cells BXPC-3 were transfected with analogs and inhibitors of miRNA-148a by liposomes.The activity of luciferase was measured to determine whether miRNA-148a directly connected with desired gene.The expression level of miRNA-148a was changed in BXPC-3 cells,and the changes of target gene v-verb-b2 erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 3 (awian) (ErbB3) expression were detected by Western blot at protein level.The data were analyzed by one way ANOVA.Results There was a conservative binding site of ErbB3 with miRNA-148a detected by bio-informatics analysis,miRNA-148a directly combined with ErbB3 and the activity of luciferase decreased to (25.00+47.00) ％ of the negative control (F=4.66,P＜ 0.01).After miRNA-148a overexpression,the gray value of ErbB3 expression in BXPC-3 cells decreased to (26.16±4.69)％ of control group (F=6.563,P＜0.05).Conclusion miRNA-148a directly targeted and regulated the expression of ErbB3 in pancreatic cancer cell line BXPC-3.

Chinese herbal pieces are a key factor to protecting the quality of the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and it is one of the basic elements of ensuring the quality of TCM and people's usage safety. However, Chinese herbal pieces has massive problem such as adulteration and counterfeit, dyeing and weighting, pesticide residues, heavy metals in excess of the standards, and all the issues are repeated excessive in the clinic treatment. These issues impacted sound development of production, management and use of TCM, but also brings common people hidden trouble for the clinical safety of medication. Protect and improve the quality of the Chinese herbal pieces demand that continue improve quality system, in-depth scientific research, and strengthen self-discipline and other factors. So it is fundamentally to ensure good quality of Chinese herbal pieces with the color, taste and shape by systematic supervision to it from the source, production, management and research, with strengthened implementation and en- forcement of the "3G".
