Objective:To analyze the mechanism on integration of health care services at the county and town-ship level from the perspective of stakeholder theory. Methods: The stakeholder interest demand was determined by word frequency analysis of interview data from stakeholders in the three regions of Qianjiang, Huangpi, and Zhen-jiang;the degree of attention and gains and losses of stakeholders towards various demands was investigated from the three regions through interest demand questionnaires;the impact of demand benefits on behavioral responses has been evaluated through comprehensive evaluation theory and game theory. Results:Regional integration policies reflect the interest demands of stakeholders in varying degrees; the higher were the scores of demand benefits in interest de-mands questionnaires, the stronger was the willingness of stakeholders to coordinate integration policies. Conclusion:The policies of integration of health care services in rural China should consider all stakeholder interest demands;the better the interest demands of the stakeholders are satisfied, the stronger their motivation for integration reform will be, which may affect the implementation effects of local integration reforms to some extent.

Objective To evaluate the effect of immune fluorescence chromatography on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Methods The precision of immune fluorescence chromatography was evaluated with samples of 6.0% and 8.0% fixed value. Group of High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as control, HbA1c for 200 samples of EDTA-K2 anti-coagulated whole blood were detected by immune fluorescence chromatography to synchronous blinded trial. Results As to the precise of immune fluorescence chromatography in the samples of 6% and 8%, values of coefficient of variation were 5.1% and 5.3%, respectively. The linear regression equation of immune fluorescence chromatography and HPLC was Y=-0.110+1.021X and the correlation coefficient was 0.982. 6.0% and 8.0% as the cut-off value, kappa values were 0.950 (P < 0.001) and 0.922 (P < 0.001), respectively. Conclusion Immune fluorescence chromatography and HPLC is consistent with detection of HbA1c, which can be used for clinical detection of HbA1c.

Objective: To reconstruct adenovirus vector of breast eukaryotic initiation factor 4E and to observe its effect on the metastasis ability of breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Methods: eIF-4E gene was constructed into adenovirus vector pAD-X by gene recombination technique, which was transformed into 293 packaged cell for high titer adenovirus. Real-time PCR was applied to detect eIF-4E gene expression. eIF-4E siRNA was applied and then transwell cabin assay was used to observe changes of invasion and motor ability of MCF-7 cells transfected with reconstruction adenovirus. Result:The finding of digestion was coincided with expected. eIF-4E gene over-expression was detected in transfected MCF-7 cells with real-time PCR. And the invasion and motor abilities of transfected MCF-7 cells were more significantly inhibited in transwell cabin assay (respectively p

Objective:To investigate the relationship between FA,ET-1,Hcy and VEGF in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension.Methods:Selected 80 cases of patients with pregnancy induced hypertension who were treated in our hospital from January 2013 to September 2016,divided into A group (40 cases),and preeclampsia and preeclampsia B group (40 cases),60 cases of normal late pregnant women as C group,60 cases of normal non pregnant women as D group.The plasma levels of FA,ET-1,Hcy and VEGF in each group were detected,and the correlation analysis was performed.Results:The plasma levels of FA and VEGF of group B were lowest in the four groups (P<0.05),the plasma ET-1 and Hcy levels of group B were highest (P<0.05).The plasma FA and VEGF levels of women with pregnancy induce hypertension were lower than those of the healthy late pregnant women.The plasma ET-1 and Hcy levels were higher (P<0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that FA,ET-1,Hcy and VEGF levels were risk factors for pregnancy induce hypertension.Conclusion:The elevation of plasma Hcy level caused by FA deficiency in pregnancy might be related to the development of the disease and the incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome,VEGF might be an important factor in the occurrence and development of pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome.

Objective To investigate the application value of MRS in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) without hippocampal sclerosis.Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 23 unilateral TLE patients (TLE group) with absence of hippocampal sclerosis and 20 age-matched normal control subjects (control group).All of them underwent conventional MRI and MRS.N-acetyl aspartate (NAA)/creatine (Cr),choline (Cho)/Cr ratios of bilateral hippocampus in 2 groups were analyzed.Eleven of 23 patients underwent surgical treatment,pathological findings and surgical outcomes were evaluated.Results The NAA/Cr ratios of ipsilateral hippocampus significantly decreased compared with that in the contralateral hippocampus (t=-7.97,P<0.001) and the control group (t=-9.96,P<0.001).There was no significant difference between the contralateral hippocampus in patients and the control group (t=-1.21,P=0.12).The Cho/Cr ratios of ipsilateral hippocampus in TLE had no significant difference compared with contralateral hippocampus (t=0.50,P=0.31) and the control group (t=-0.59,P=0.28).The pathological findings of the 11 patients who underwent temporal lobe resection indicated small amounts of neuronal loss and unobvious gliosis.Conclusion MRS is helpful in clinical practice to lateralize and localize the epileptogenic foci in the absence of hippocampal sclerosis in patients with TLE.

Objective To explore the effect of different processing and drying methods of corn and hot pepper on fluorine content in coal-burning type of the endemic fluorosis areas, and to screen food processing and drying methods which meet the quality requirements of grain drying and able to effectively reduce the total fluoride intake of local population. Methods Farmers of endemic fluorosis area in Bijie, Guizhou province were divided into 3 groups: sun-baked drying group, stove drying group with air-tight cover and stove drying group with no cover, 10 households in each group. Corn and fresh hot pepper and samples dried for 2 weeks, or 1, 3, 6-month were collected, and water and fluoride content were detected, and the total daily fluoride intake were calculated in accordance with the "Determination of Water in Food" (GB/T 5009.3-2003) and "Determination of Fluorine in Foods"(GB/T 5009.18-2003). Results Fluoride content in fresh corn and dried for 2 weeks, or 1, 3, 6-month [of sunbaked drying group: (1.40 ± 0.16), (1.56 ± 0.14), (2.15 ± 0.47), (2.70 ± 0.64), (4.06 ± 1.75)mg/kg, stove drying group with air-tight cover: (1.41 ± 0.16), (2.39 ± 0.56), (4.60 ± 0.97), (8.46 ± 5.55), (11.36 ± 3.60)mg/kg,stove drying group with no cover: (1.40 ± 0.13), (4.69 ± 3.97), (4.47 ± 2.77), (9.65 ± 6.47), (26.12 ± 14.52)mg/kg] and pepper[sun-baked drying group: (5.41 ± 1.61), (16.60 ± 7.62), (32.60 ± 7.88), (50.26 ± 17.60),(240.20 ± 272.49)mg/kg, stove drying group with air-tight cover: (754 ± 2.95), (3238 ± 11.50), (119.18 ± 156.45),(224.00 ± 196.58), (495.70 ± 417.29)mg/kg, stove drying group with no cover: (4.82 ± 1.25), (44.30 ± 13.48),(122.89 ± 66.43), (334.23 ± 166.05), (531.01 ± 397.40)mg/kg] increased with elongation of drying time, and the group difference was significant(F = 44.77, 128.71, 126.87, 41.61, 53.63, 170.63, all P < 0.05), with the largest rate of increase in stove drying group with no cover, and the lowest in sun-baked drying group;fluoride was significantly lower (t = 7.93,63.07,5.36,11.98,55.76,7.45, all P < 0.05) after sample washing;total fluoride intake per person per day was 2.57 mg in local adult when ate washed and sun-baked corn, peppers, the total fluoride intake were 5.92, 8.14 mg when ate the food processed by other two drying methods and washed corn, peppers,respectively. Conclusions In the coal-burning type of fluorosis endemic area, should take appropriate health education measures, and instruct local residents to use sun bake their edible corn and pepper for human consumption, and cultivate a habit of washing corn and pepper before cooking, which can reduce the population total fluoride intake, and control endemic fluorosis.
