Chinese Medical Ethics 2015;(4):632-634
Policy circumstance plays a pivotal role in transformation of barefoot doctor to village doctor.The resources support fromregime and economic organizationmanagement system, the workpoint system for income from collective economy and politics culture of serving people under the policy circumstances of the People′s Com-mune, lay a firm foundation for rise and development of barefoot doctors.However, the village self-governance re-gime began with Household Contract Responsibility System changed all elements above and ultimately prompt trans-formation from barefoot doctor to village doctor.
2.The effect of high-flux hemodialysis on the inflammatory factors and serum brain natriuretic in hemodialysis patients with uremia
Journal of Chinese Physician 2016;18(4):532-535
Objective To investigate the influence of the high-flux hemodialysis (HFD) on inflammatory factors [C-reactive protein (CRP),interleukin-6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] and serum brain natriuretic (BNP) in patients before and after hemodialysis.Methods Fifty patients with MHD were enrolled in our hospital in 2013 and divided randomly into HD group (n =25),and HFD group (n =25).Serum CRP,IL-6,TNF-α,and BNP were measured in patients before and after the first hemodialysis session and after the treatment for 6 months later.Results Serum CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α in HD group after the first dialysis session and after the treatment for 6 months were statistically insignificant (P >0.05).In HD group,serum BNP was decreased after the first hemodialysis session and the treatment for 6 months later,the decreases was statistically significant (P <0.01 or P <0.05).In HFD group,serum CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α were decreased after the first treatment,the decreases were statistically insignificant (P > 0.05).However,after the 6 mouths,the decreases were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Serum BNP was decreased after the first hemodialysis session and the treatment for 6 months later,the decrease was statistically significant(P < 0.01).Between two groups,the different time-point and the interaction of two groups and the different time-point,the discrepancy above them were statistically significant (P <0.01).Conclusions The high-flux hemodialysis can eliminate more inflammatory factors such as CRP,IL-6,TNF-α,and serum BNP in patients with uremia.Serum BNP Helps to adjust the dry weight in time,relieve cardiac load and reduce the incidence of heart failure.High-flux hemodialysis is one of the ways of treatment that reduce the morbidity of the heart failure.It can improve prognosis of the patients with MHD.

Objective To determine the perioperative risks of partial hepatectomy by determining the preoperative liver functional reserve in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and to compare the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score with the Child-Pugh classification in predicting prognosis.Methods We reviewed the clinical data of 202 patients with HCC who underwent partial hepatectomy.The MELD score and the Child-Pugh classification were determined preoperatively.Results The incidence of postoperative liver dysfunction happened in 44.0% of Child A patients,50% in Child B patients,41.6%in patients with a MELD score below 14,and 91.7% in patients with a MELD score of > 14.The difference between the rates of postoperative liver dysfunction in patients with a preoperative MELD score above 14 and below 14 was significant (P < 0.05),while that between patients with Child-Pugh A and B was insignificant (P > 0.05).The incidences of postoperative liver dysfunction in patient with a MELD < 8,8 ≤ MELD ≤ 14,MELD > 14 were 38.2%,57.6% and 91.7%,respectively,indicating that there was a positive co-relationship between the MELD score and the incidences of liver dysfunction.The Spearman rank correlation test showed the MELD score was significant correlated with the Child-Pugh score (r =0.404 ; P < 0.05).The areas under the ROC curves of the MELD score and the Child-Pugh score were 0.703 and 0.587 (P < 0.05).Conclusions The MELD score predicted postoperative liver dysfunction more accurately than the Child-Pugh classification.HCC patients undergoing partial hepatectomy with a preoperative MELD score > 14 had a high perioperative risk.To ensure the safety of partial hepatectomy,HCC patients with a preoperative MELD score > 14 requires active preoperative preparation,bringing the score near to or less than 14.
