The paper analyzed the compensation mechanism applied in public hospitals in different localities in China,which are currently experimenting with the zero price margin for drugs.It also introduced the revenue variations resulting from this practice.It is discovered that public hospitals can hardly make their ends meet with merely governmental financial input,and that lowered income of doctors and price distortion arc evident in those experimental hospitals,with little progress in overcoming the subsidization of medical services with drug sales.The authors recommended a comprehensive reform,the mechanism of diversified health input,change of internal incentive mechanism within the hospital,improvement in the healthcare service pricing mechanism,and exploration of new operation mechanisms for public hospitals.

The financial compensation mechanism for public county hospitals are discussed and analyzed in the paper.Such a mechanism is analyzed by means of media coverage and literature consulting,along with field survey.Roadblocks have been found in implementation of the mechanism, namely delayed payment of capital expenditure compensation,poor support for medical equipment purchase,gaps in development key disciplines development,insufficient compensation for retirees expenses,poor definition of policy-incurred losses,and unclear compensation of public health services.in a word,it is imperative to change the unreasonable financial compensation mechanism,before the six financial compensation subsidies can be fully put in place and financial compensation made efficiently.

Given the significant improvement in terms of its coverage and compensation depth,China's basic medical insurance system has inherent setbacks in its structure as held by the authors.They hold that the medical insurance as the most important source of compensation for medical institutions,should further reform its structure of financing and reasonably raise the percentage of compensation; adjust the time reference and space reference for prepayment estimation such as the total prepaid amount; deepen supportive reforms for the payment manner.All these measures aim at minimizing impact of the payment control mechanism on routine medical activities and exploring diversified payment manners that are feasible.

Objective The aim of the present study was to assess the changes of IGF-1,IGF-2,IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 in diabetes nephropathy,the relationships between IGFs,IGFBPs and ?_1-,?_2- microglobulin.Methods A total of 130 type-2 diabetic participants(male:52,female:78)aged 37~75 yeares in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled from Feb.2000 to May 2003.Serum IGF-1,IGF-2,IGF binding protein 1(IGFBP-1),IGFBP-3,creatinine(Cr),cholesterol,triglycerides,HDL,LDL,apolipoprotein B100(apoB100),apoA,HbA_1c,fasting and postprandial C-peptide,serum and urine ?_1-MG and ?_2-MG were measured.Patients were divided into clinical albuminuria(DN,n=24),microalbuminuria(MA,n=40),and normal(NOR,n=66)groups according sCr and urine Alb/Cr ratio.Results In multiple linear regression analysis,determinants of S ?_1-MG were IGF-2 、TC and age(r=0.492,P=0.0001);U ?_1-MG were IGF-2、age(r=0.307,P=0.007); S ?_2-MG were IGFBP-1、HDL and age(r=0.528,P=0.0001);U ?_2-MG were IGFBP-1、CP120 and age(r=0.407,P=0.0001);s-Cr were IGFBP-1、CP0 and age(r=0.499,P=0.0001)。Serum IGF-2 and IGFBP-1 were significantly increased in DN group[IGF-2:(889.48?65.94)?g/L vs (711.57?28.73)?g/L,P=0.03;IGFBP-1:(94.91?17.48)?g/L vs(54.81?5.04)?g/L,P=0.009].Conclusion Serum IGFBP-1 and IGF-2 are significantly increased in type 2 diabetes with nephropathy.The disorders of IGFs and lipid metabolism may contribute to the development of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To understand the death rate and the main death causes of the senile diabetic inpatients. Methods The histories of all the death cases of senile diabetic inpatients in this hospital from 1992 to 1999 were reviewed. The death rate and causes of senile diabetics were compared with those of the non-senile diabetics. Results Senile diabetics among the total diabetic inpatients increased within 8 years (56.93% during 1992-1995 vs. 67.63% during 1996-1999,P80 yrs group being 23.60%, P

BACKGROUND: Human acellular amniotic membrane is a kind of extracellular matrix material with good biocompatibility and biological activity. It has been widely used in various clinical studies because of its low immunogenicity, small rejection and easy preparation.OBJECTIVE: To review the applications of human acellular amniotic membranes in tissue engineering field, such as skin, blood vessel, cornea, cartilage and bone.METHODS: CNKI (from January 2005 to May 2017), CBMdisc (from January 2005 to May 2017), PubMed (from January 1990 to May 2017) and Elsevier (from January 1990 to May 2017) were retrieved for articles addressing the application of human acellular amniotic membrane as a tissue-engineered scaffold in the bone, cartilage, skin, and blood vessels.The keywords were acelluar amniotic membrane, scaffold, material, tissue engineering ECM in Chinese and English, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Human acellular amniotic membrane owns the structure and function of the natural extracellular matrix, which can be combined with stem cells from different sources to differentiate into different tissues and organs, such as bone, cartilage, skin, blood vessel, and corneal tissues. As a tissue-engineered scaffold, human acellular amniotic membrane has good biocompatibility, biodegradability and low immunogenicity, although it has some shortcomings, such as poor strength and post-transplantation rejection reactions. Therefore, the future studies are mainly focused on shortening the adhesion time between cells and scaffolds, increasing the own mechanical strength of human acellular amniotic membrane, optimizing the cell growth microenvironment, and combining human acellular amniotic membrane with other tissue-engineered scaffolds.

Through analyzing documents of healthcare departments, this paper explored the public benefit nature of the medical and health sector from such aspects as culture, philosophy, management, ethics,economy, politics and society. Furthermore, it analyzed the commonweal in the healthcare reform documents,including the commonweal in public health and medical services,basic medical care and health services,public hospitals and medical and health services. Public hospitals were cited as examples for an in-depth review of the profound connotation of commonweal in the medical and healthcare sector.

AimTo study the effects of glipizide and met formin on the serum IGF-1,IGF-2 in patients with type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus; Methods The effect of glipizide(n ＝ 40) and metformin(n ＝ 25) on serum IGF-1, IGF-2 in patients with type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus were compared with self- controlled study. Results In metformin-treated patients ,there were not significantly changes in fasting IGF-1 and IGF-2 concentrations, In glipizide-treated patients, there were markedly increased IGF-1 concentrations(181.8+ 104.5) vs (209.0+ 88.2) ng· ml-1(P＜0.05) while serum IGF-2 was not change. There was a significant reduction of blood glucose in two groups at the end of treatment(both P＜0.01), but C-peptide level was markedly increased(P＜0.05) only in glipizide-treatedpatients.Conclusion The changes of IGF-1 is markedly different between metformin-treated and glipizide-treated patients with type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus.

Dynamic ~(13)N-NH_3 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was performed in 8 normal subjects and 6 cases of hypopituitarism. The pituitary images were small and delayed, and blood perfusion and radioactive uptake were decreased in hypopituitarism. ~(13)N-NH_3 PET imaging shows diagnostic value in hypopituitarism.

The comprehensive establishment of the basic medical and health system with Chinese characteristics is key to the healthcare reform. Taking the basic medical and health system as the specific research object, this paper elaborated the system examples of various countries' health systems. It also, using the classic system theory as the theoretical research basis, defined the connotation of the basic medical and health system with Chinese characteristics and described such characteristics. The purpose is to lay a theoretical foundation for the development of such a system, and provide references for the healthcare reform and Healthy China initiative.
