To investigate different effects of fiscal health expenditure, household spending on health and social health expenditure on narrowing the gap between urban and rural health resource allocation. Methods: With the relevant data of China’ s medical and health through 1985-2011 years, taking methodology of the state space model to estimate the varying-time elasticity of different types of expenditures on urban and rural health resource allocation gap. Results: For narrowing the gap, household health expenditure played the leading role, fiscal health expenditure played smaller role and the social health expenditure played the supplementary role; the elastic of different health expenditure proportion was fluctuated before 2002, which became stable after 2002; it is easy to improve the “hard conditions” rather than the “soft conditions” . Conclusion: To accelerate the process of urban and rural medical security system integration, it is inevitable to establish an efficient configuration mechanism for urban and rural health expense, balanced develop urban and rural medical insurance system and scientifically guide social health investment.

Objective Patients with severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP) always suffer decrease in gastrointestinal motility , even gastrointestinal failure.The article aimed to investigate the changes of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the myenteric plexus of the gastric antrum in rats with severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP) complicated by gastrointestinal dysmotility . Methods Twenty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly allocated into two groups:control group and SAP group .Acute pancreatitis was induced by intraductal infu-sion of 5%sodium taurodeoxycholate .24 h after operation , records were made on pathological evaluation of pancreatic lesion , amylase, C-reactive protein ( CRP) , gastric emptying rate and the percentage of VIP neurons in the total neurons . Results Compared with the control group, the gastric emptying rate in the SAP group was significantly lower ([31.49 ±3.96]% vs [70.99 ±1.82]%).The score of pancreatic lesion, amylase, CRP and the percentage of VIP neurons was significantly higher ([14.63 ±1.06]score vs [1.60 ± 0.52]score, [2061.25 ±434.86]U/L vs [360.20 ±30.29]U/L, [140.10 ±17.07]μg/mL vs [35.71 ±6.43]μg/mL, [22.45 ± 4.10]%vs [10.72 ±1.92]%)(P<0.05). Conclusion Plas-ticity took place in VIP neurons in the myenteric plexus of gastric an-trum in rats with SAP complicated by gastrointestinal dysmotility , which was connected with neural mechanism underlying SAP compli-cated by gastrointestinal dysmotility .

Streptomyces sp. A048 was cultured in a complete medium to the last stage of log phase,the hyphae were washed and collected by centrifugation. Then the hyphae were inoculated in liquid medium for chitinase production using two-step fermentation. Activity of chitinase produced by two-step fermentation was 1.1 times higher than that from one-step fermentation,and ferment cycle was for 54 hours,which was 66 hours shorter than that of one-step fermentation. The hyphae and the powder of chitin were co-immobilizated and cultured in liquid medium for 36 hours,activity of chitinase was 1.8 times higher than that from one-step fermentation,and ferment cycle was 54h shorter than that of one-step fermentation. By adding 0.4% cellulose to two-step fermentation,activity of chitinase was 18.52 U/mL that was 4 times higher than that from the control and 10 times higher than that from one-step fermentation. Two step fermentation with chitin and cellulose may be the optimal fermentation process to produce Chitinase from Streptomyces sp. A048.

Objective To discuss the technique and value of preoperative reformatting with three-dimensional computed tomography technique for C_2 pedicle screw track.Methods GE Light Speed 16 Pro spinal CT scans of 15 adult dry vertebrae were loaded into an imaging station (software ADW4.2).Two methods of C_2 pedicle screw techniques were analyzed through virtual screw trajectory by VR (volume rendering) and MPR (multiple planar reformatting) techniques,in method A,screw entry point was the intersection between the media-vertical and the cranial line of C_2 inferior facet joint,in method B,the screw track was from the cranial and medial quadrant of the dorsal part of C_2 inferior facet joint.Results The screw track could be observed dynamically from any plane.Two vertebrae were ob- served with smaller height in isthmus and the medial edge of the transverse foramen since no space was a- vailable for the screw.The screw trajectories data were compared between method A and method B,which showed that the angles towards the cephalad (in sagittal plane) and midline (in transverse plane) were bigger in method A than in method B (P<0.05,0.01),but the safe screw diameter was smaller in method A than in method B (P<0.05),and there was no difference of the screw length between the two methods(P<0.05 ).Conclusion In this research,the individual C_2 pedicle screw entry points, screw diameter and security screw angle can be simulated,and the screw track can be observed dynami- cally to make sure if it transits the bone structure completely.Preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography reformatting for pedicle screw track is of great value in clinical and basic researches.

·Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP) are common outer retinal degenerative problems, which are also the predominant causes of most blinding retinal diseases. Retinal prosthesis is a promising solution for such photoreceptor degeneration diseases.Most of current concepts for a retinal prosthesis are based on neuronal electrical stimulation. In the past twenty years, retinal prosthesis has been developed in two different directions: epiretinal prosthesis and subretinal prosthesis. Each prosthesis technique has its advantages and disadvantages. For epiretinal prosthesis, it is easier to be implanted and has the advantage of keeping most of the electronics in the vitreous cavity, off the retinal surface, which greatly helps in dissipating the heat generated by the implant device. In this paper, a brief overview of retinal prostheses concepts is introduced. After that, several important aspects of epiretinal electrical stimulation will be discussed. Moreover, some practical epiretinal prosthesis devices developed by researchers in United States, Germany and Japan in the past have been reviewed. We hope that the devices will be used widely in the near future.

BACKGROUND: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the gold standard for degenerative cervical disease,which would be replaced by cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) with the wide application of CDA. But, the mid- and long-term outcomes of ACDF versus CDA remain controversial.OBJECTIVE: To compare the mid- and long-term outcomes of ACDF and CDA in the treatment of single-level cervical spondylosis.METHODS: PubMed, Medline, EMbase, Cochrane, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang databases were searched for randomized controlled trials addressing CDA versus ACDF for single-level cervical spondylosis published before August 2016. The quality of trails was strictly evaluated, the data were extracted and a meta-analysis was performed on ReviewManager5.3 software.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Totally 15 randomized controlled trials involving 2781 patients were included, with 4-10 years of follow-up. (2) Meta-analysis results showed that compared with ACDF, CDA had better SF-36 scores,larger range of motion at operation level, lower the Neck Disability Index, and Visual Analogue Scale scores for arm pain,lower reoperation rate at operation level and adjacent level at mid- and long-term follow-up. (3) The Visual Analogue Scale scores for neck pain, neurologic success and all-complication rate did not differ significantly between two groups.(4) These results manifest that CDA is superior to ACDF in the mid- and long-term outcomes for single-level cervical spondylosis; however, further large-scale, multi-center and high-quality randomized controlled trials will be necessary.
