As an important policy, the multiple-site physician practice system is expected to promote the flow of physicians and optimize the distribution of health resources, though it is difficult to enforce in practice. From the perspective of institutional change, the fundamental reason lies in path dependence existing in system, organization and mindset:First, the government regulation system has a strong inertia to restrict the flow of physicians, and the multiple-site physician practice lacks the unity of legitimacy and rationality. Secondly, fierce competition between hospitals and the distribution pattern of rights and responsibilities between hospital and physician cause the hospitals to oppose multiple-site physician practices. Third, the stability tendency in mind and the desires for profit restrain the flow of physicians. Therefore, the institutional change of the multiple-site physician practice requires improvements in three aspects:the innovation of government systems to unlock the multiple-site physician practice must be accelerated to realize the unity of legitimacy and rationality;a change is needed in the operation logic of hospitals to control the profit incentives and management of practices by contract;the thought-pattern of physicians must be changed to con-front the proper demand for interests and build innovative incentive mechanisms.

Specific activation of toll-Like Receptor 9 (TLR9) by ligand CpG DNA/ODN can initiate downstream signaling.The activation of TLR9 signaling is regulated by Granulin,high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) and soluble TLR9.Interestingly,TLR9 is no longer only presented in the immune cells,but also expressed in many kinds of tumor cells.TLR9 is involved inmaintaining and promoting the malignant biological behaviors of tumor cells.Elucidation of the function of TLR9 inherent signaling pathways in the tumor cells will provide a novel idea for oncotherapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the gene expression of Chk1 gene in cerebrum after brain ischemia-reperfusion,trying to provide evidence to elucidatethe molecular mechanism of brain injury. MethodsEighty-five male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups. Group Ⅰ served as normal control. In group Ⅱ (non-ischemia group) animals underwent the whole experimental procedures except the occlusion of the bilateral vertebro-arteries and common carotid arteries. In group Ⅲ(ischemiareperfusion group) animals were further divided into 3 subgroups according to the duration of ischemia: 10min, 30min and 60min. Each subgroup was again further divided based on the duration of reperfusion: 30min, 2h and 6h. The cerebrum was immediately removed from rats after complete brain ischemiareperfusion. The RNA was isolated and the reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was carried out . The cDNA was analyzed by automatic system and the parameters were assessed to define the status of Chk1 mRNA expression in different ischemia and reperfusion groups. ResultsThe quantity of Chk1 mRNA expression in the cerebral cortex of normal adult rat was about half of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphatedehydrogenase. When reperfused for 30min, 2h or 6h following 10min, 30 min cerebral ischemia and reperfused for 30min or 2h following 60 min cerebral ischemia, the expression of Chk1 mRNA was not significantly different from that in non-ischemia group. Only reperfused for 6h following 60 min cerebral ischemia, Chk1 mRNA expression decreased significantly. ConclusionsThe results indicate that Chk1 gene might be involved in molecular mechanism of cerebrum damage during complete global brain ischemia- reperfusion.

Objective: To investigate the effects of cadmium (Cd) stress on the growth and physiological characteristics of Panax ginseng (ginseng). Methods: Two-year old ginseng was cultivated in barrels in phytotrone with different concentration of Cd (0, 0.3, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mg/kg) soil for a whole growth period. In red fruit stage, the contents of biomass and SPAD, the activities of anti-oxidant enzymes, and contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined and analyzed. Results: With Cd concentration increasing, the relative growth rate of ginseng expressed a slowly decreasing trend, and showed negative linear correlations with Cd stress level (P<0.05); The SPAD value of ginseng showed a decline; But the activities of anti-oxidant enzymes of different parts of ginseng and the contents of MDA decreased on different levels. The contents of MDA from leaves and roots showed linear correlations with Cd stress level (P<0.05). Contents of MDA in different positions of ginseng showed as: leaf > stem > root. Conclusion: Ginseng has an adaptability to the contaminated soil with Cd (≤1.0 mg/kg), and at this time ginseng can enhance the activity of anti-oxidant enzyme and other physiological and biochemical responses to eliminate reactive oxygen species, maintain stability of the cell membrane, alleviate the harm from the stress of Cd; Though with Cd (>1 mg/kg), the contents of MDA could increase significantly, and the oxidative damage of ginseng is very serious. The growth of plants is affected, resulting in a decline in ginseng biomass.

The objective of the present study was to establish a method based on principal component analysis (PCA) for the study of transdermal delivery of Chinese medicinal formulae, and to choose the best penetration enhancers for Qingfei Xiaocuo gel depend on this method. Using improved Franz type diffusion cell and excised rat skin in vitro as transdermal barrier, the receptive solution fingerprint was established by HPLC, harvesting the areas of the common peaks in the fingerprint, then the total factor scores of the concentrations at different times were calculated using PCA and were employed instead of the concentrations to compute the cumulative amounts (Q12) and enhancement ratio (ER), the latter of which were considered as the indexes for optimizing penetration enhancers. Compare to the control group, the ER of the other groups increased significantly and furthermore, 2.5% azone with 2.5% menthol manifested the best effect. PCA represent most information in the receptive solution, the method above could choose the best penetration enhancers, it could be a reference for the study of transdermal delivery of Chinese medicinal formulae.
