Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2013;(5):376-379
Medical liability insurance is a latecomer in China,and faced with many challenges ever since.This paper picked medical liability insurance in Nanjing as an empirical study example,as the author analyzed the insurance,underwriting and premiums of medical liability insurance,as well as the insurance programs and claim settlements from 2008 to 2012.In addition to noting problems found in medical liability insurance in Nanjing,the author proposed the roadmap for China' s medical liability insurance,with reference to experiences of overseas medical liability insurance industry.
2.Clinical significance of XAF1 expression in pancreatic cancer and its relationship with prognosis
Chinese Journal of Pancreatology 2015;15(2):81-84
Objective To investigate the expression ot XAF1 protein in pancreauc cancer,and its relationship with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis.Methods The tissue microarray was composed of 89 pancreatic cancer and 21 normal pancreatic tissues,and immunohistochemistry was used to examine the expression of XAF1 protein.The correlation between XAF1 expression and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed.The 89 patients were followed,and the survival was shown in Kaplan Meier curve.Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify risk factors for the survival of pancreatic cancer patients.Results The negative expression rate of XAF1 was 44.9% (40/89),and it was 9.5% (2/21) in normal tissue,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P <0.05).The expression of XAF1 was negatively associated with tumor staging (P < 0.05),but it was not associated with age,gender,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis,pathological grading,surgical margins,vascular and neural invasion.Patients with negative expression of XAF1 had much shorter survival than patients with positive expression.Univariate analysis showed that negative expression of XAF1,pathological grading,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis was associated with the survival (P < 0.05),and the multivariate analysis indicated that negative expression of XAF1 was an independent prognostic factor for survival of pancreatic cancer.Conclusions XAF1 may be involved in the development and growth of pancreatic cancer,and it is related with patient's prognosis.

Objective: In order to validate the effectiveness of methods of defining poverty caused by illness which are based on catastrophic health expenditure and impoverishment health expenditure, originated from relative costs theory.Results: This paper uses empirical approach to explore the definition methods by comparing the original methods with modified methods and defined population with the actual situation of poverty alleviation.Results: Study results show that the catastrophic health expenditures incurred ratio is about 20% and shows the aggregation of both low-income and high-income groups.The impoverishment health expenditure incurred ratio is about 12% and they mainly are families at the edge of poverty line.This study found that 70% of the families defined based on our method did not receive medical assistance in reality.Conclusion: Therefore, the definition methods based on relative costs theory are of great value in Chinese medical assistance systems for defining poverty caused by illness.Grouping based on household ability to pay could improve the methods' operability and effectiveness.

Objective To investigate the association of insulin dose with clinical factors of type 2 diabetes. Methods We reviewed the data of 214 type 2 diabetic patients who received insulin regimens.We compared the insulin dose and period at the targeted blood glucose levels among 6 groups according to different type of oral hypoglycemic agents. Results There existed statistically significant correlations of the glucose-targeted insulin dose with course,FPG,BMI,combination therapy with oral hypoglycemic agent(P<0.1,test level P=0.1).Merely metformin failure group took less insulin than the group admitted due to combination therapy failure (P=0.016, 0.53(0.35~0.62)U/kg and 0.63(0.51~0.75)U/kg respectively).The longest targeted period existed in the later. Relationship between the targeted bedtime insulin NPH dose and FPG level can be demonstrated by equation Y=0.255X+7.8. Conclusions The targeted insulin dose is influenced by synthetic factors. Patients admitted due to combination oral hypoglycemic drug failure have the maximal targeted insulin dose and the longest titration period. The final bedtime insulinNPH dose can be predicted by FPG level.
6.Exploration on the Definition Theories and Methods on Poverty Population of Catastrophic Diseases Medical Assistance System
Chinese Health Economics 2017;36(3):33-36
The poverty population definition for medical assistance was related to equity and precision,but still lacked theory and method in practice.The catastrophic and impoverishment health expenditure methods based on relative costs theory considered the family's ability to pay,which reflected the economic burden and poverty status of families.Meanwhile,they reflected the breadth and depth of poverty.Therefore,the theory and methods of catastrophic diseases relative costs could support the definition of catastrophic diseases for poverty population in China.

Objective To observe the effect of Ginkgo on IL-4,IL-5 in serum of asthmatic mice. Methods 40 mouse were randomly divided into three groups(control group, sensitization group, and therapeutic group). The mouse asthmatic models were established by sensitizing with aerosolized ovalbumin(OVA). IL-4,IL-5 in serum in 16 sensitization mouse and 8 control mouse were measured by ELISA, respectively. We injected 0.15ml Ginkgo solution in the abdominal cavity of 16 therapeutic mouse before the episode of asthma. After that, they were challenged with aerosolized OVA and IL-4,IL-5 in serum were measured by ELISA. Results The levels of IL-4,IL-5 in serum in control group were (12.965?2.450)pg/ml, (13.398?4.460)pg/ml, respectively, (16.889?4.835)pg/ml, (19.471?7.207)pg/ml in sensitization, (13.695?4.068)pg/ml, (14.774?5.749)pg/ml in therapeutic group. In the sensitization group, the levels of IL-4,IL-5 in serum were higher than those of the control group( P

Objective To study the relationship of apoptosis-related gene survivin with bcl-2, bax protein in endometriosis. Methods The expressions of survivin, bcl-2 and bax protein were detected by immunohistochemical method (SP) in ectopic endometrium from 40 cases, and compared with that in eutopic endometrium from 25 cases without endometriosis. Results The expression rate of survivin protein in endometriotic cells was much higher than that in normal endometrial cells. The survivin was not correlated with the phase of menstrual cycle , but positively correlated to bcl-2, negatively to bax. Conclusion Survivin may play an important role in pathogenesis of endometriosis. With survivin gene, apoptosis-related gene bcl-2 may have a synergic role and bax have an antagonistic role in the formation and progression of endometriosis.
