Objective:To analyze the effects of essential medicine system on revenue structures at primary med-ical institutions. Methods:Data on revenue status and structures from 58 township health centers in Shanxi Province was collected to analyze changes and trends. Results:Along with growing government investments in primary medical institutions, the essential medicine system has fundamentally realized full coverage. The percentage of essential medi-cine revenue to pharmaceutical revenue rose from 20 . 45% in 2009 to 97 . 03% in 2013 , though the percentage of pharmaceutical revenue to total revenue dropped by 18 . 43%. The percentage of fiscal subsidy revenue in total reve-nue rose from 25 . 77% in 2009 to 54 . 16% in 2013 , though the percentage of business revenue to total revenue dropped in general. Conclusions:The essential medicine system requires the government’s financial support. Essen-tial medicine lists and primary financial aid policies should be further improved;doctor reimbursement and incentive mechanisms should be improved as well and unreasonable doctor service pricing and reimbursement mechanisms should be reformed.

BACKGROUND:Ischemia/reperfusion injury can cause the necrosis of cardiomyocyte,and it can also induce cell apoptosis.However,cell apoptosis may be the main death type of cardiomyocyte at the early stage of infarction,and it may be one of causes for expanding myocardial infarction area.OBJECTIVE:The goal of this study was to observe the anti-apoptotic effect of adenosine (ADO) preconditioning on cardiomyocytes during the ischemia/reperfusion,and to investigate the role of apoptosis-related gene protein Bcl-2 and Bax.DESIGN:A randomized controlled animal experiment.SETTING:First College of Clinical Medical Science,China Three Gorges University&Department of Cardiology,Yichang Central People's Hospital.MATERIALS:Thirty-six healthy male rabbits of clean grade,weighing 2.5 to 3.0 kg,were provided by Laboratory Animal Department,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology.The protocol was carried out in accordance with animal ethics guidelines for the use and care of animals.All rabbits were divided into 3 groups according to random number table.There were 12 animals in either control,ADO or ADO+DPCPX (an adenosine A1 receptor antagonist).METHODS:This experiment was carried out in the Central Laboratory,China Three Gorges University between October 2005 and October 2006.Ex vivo rabbit myocardial ischemia/reperfusion models were prepared.After being anesthetized,the rabbits were performed anticoagulation with heparin and carried out Langendorff retroperfusion.In the control group,the hearts of animals subjected to 40 minutes of ischemia and 60 minutes of reperfusion.Six of them were used for determining myocardial infarct size after reperfusion,another six for cardiomyocyte apoptosis,gene expression and ultrastructural analysis of myocardium.In the ADO group:The ADO hearts were continuously infused with 10 μmol/L of adenosine 30 minutes before ischemia,and operated according to the requirement of control group.In the DPCPX roup:the isolated hearts of animals were infused for 15 minutes with 10 mmol/L of DPCPX 45 minutes before ischemia.and operated in accordance with ADO group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①The heart rate and blood pressure of animals in 3 groups were measured during ischemia/reperfusion process.②The infarct size was determined by triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC) staining.③The apoptotic index of cardiomyocytes was detected by histological TUNEL staining and DNA ladder on agarose gel electrophoresis.④Apoptosis-related protein Bcl-2 and Bax expressions were detected by in situ immunohistochemical staining.RESULTS:Thirty-six rabbits were enrolled in the final analysis.①Comparison of heart rate and blood pressure:During the process of ischemia/reperfusion,both heart rate and blood pressure were persistently decreased significantly (P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in two indexes between any two groups (P＞0.05).②Comparison of myocardial infarct size:There were no significant differences in myocardial infarct size among the control group,ADO group and DPCPX group (P＞0.05).The myocardial infarct size of rabbits in the ADO group was significantly smaller than that in the control group.It suggested that ADO preconditioning could contract the myocardial infarct size of rabbits.The myocardial infarct size of rabbits in the ADO+DPCPX group was significantly larger than that in the ADO group,but significantly smaller than that in the control group (P＜0.01).It suggested that DPCPX could partially inhibit the protective effect of ADO.③Comparison of apoptosis of cardiomyocytes: Apoptotic cells were not found in the non-ischemic myocardial tissue,but found in the infarct tissue and infarct edge ischemic tissue.Apoptotic cells in the control group and ADO+DPCPX group were significantly more than those in the ADO group.Apoptotic index in the control group and ADO+DPCPX group was significantly higher than that in the control group,respectively (P＜0.01).④Comparison of apoptosis-related protein expression:The absorbance of Bax in the ADO group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.01).The absorbance of Bax in the ADO+DPCPX group was significantly lower than that in the control group,but significantly higher than that in the ADO group (P＜0.01).The value of Bcl-2/Bax in the control group was significantly lower than that in the ADO group (P＜0.01).The value of Bcl-2/Bax in the ADO+DPCPX group was significantly higher than that in the control group,but significantly higher than that in the ADO group(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:Exogenous ADO inhiblts reperfusion-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes,which is partially mediated by DPCPX:Down-regulation of apoptosis-related Bax protein plays an important role in the anti-apoptotic effect of exogenous ADO.

Objective To analyze the distribution of main lesion areas in pulmonary fibrosis induced by paraquat in rats by means of radiographic imaages and varied CT value by using MicroCT. Methods A total of 15 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly (random number) divided into control group and paraquat poisoned group. group. The rats in exposure group were treated with dilute solution of paraquat (4mg/ mL) in dose of 14mg/kg injected intraperitoneally, and the rats in control group were treated with the same volume of saline instead. The lung tissues of all rats were scanned in vivo by using MicroCT on the 3rd, 7th , 14th and 28th days after paraquat or saline administration, respectively. The data from scanned images, rates of observable signs of pulmonary fibrosis and average CT value variation in given regions (region of interest, ROI) were compared between groups and different durations after poisoning by using statistical methods as one factor analysis of variance (t-test). Results Compared with the control group, the rats with acute paraquat poisoning appeared varying degrees of the signs of pulmonary fibrosis. Most of the lesion areas predominantly spread over the lateral regions of the lower lobe of lung, and appeared mainly one week after paraquat poisoning. The opacity of lung shadow seen on the radiograph was significantly increased with time extended after exposure to PQ as a consequence of CT value variation in ROI, and there was no difference in the development of pulmonary fibrosis between right lung and left lung ( P > 0. 05), but there were differences in the extent of fibrosis at different areas in lung (P <0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusions The signs of pulmonary fibrosis predominantly appeared one week after poisoning. The opacity of lung shadow was increasing gradually during the course of pulmonary fibrosis developed in rats in paraquat poisoning group, and lesion areas predominantly spread over the lateral regions of the lower lube of lung.

Objective To evaluate the effect and clinical value of open surgery combined ultrasound-guided Mammotome in the treatment of multiple breast lumps. Methods Four hundred and forty-four patients in our hospital from Jan. 2006 to Jun. 2008 were divided into 3 groups, who underwent classical open surgery, ultrasound-guided Mammotome operation, or combined therapy respectively and followed by post-operation visits reguarly. The operation effects were compared between the 3 groups. Results Compared with the classical open surgery, combined therapy had no difference in time of procedure and procedural bleeding, but had lower incidence of local skin, better incision condition and higher satisfaction of patients. Compared with ultrasound-guided Mammotome operation, combined therapy took less time in procedure, and in the same time had less procedural bleeding, lower post-operation complication and higher patients satisfaction. Conclusions Combined therapy has high complete removal rate, low post-operation complication as well as cosmetic effect. It has special advantages over the other two kinds of surgery, so it has wide clinical application.

Objective: To summarize the application and efficacy of fresh autologous pericardial tri-leaflet pulmonary artery conduit for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in patients with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods: A total of 18 relevant patients received fresh autologous pericardial tri-leaflet pulmonary artery conduit for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in our hospital from 2007-08 to 2012-12 were studied. The patients were at the mean age of (2.12±2.02) years with body weight ≥ (9.41±3.62) kg including 10 male. Echocardiography was followed-up at 1 month, 3-6 and ≥12 months post-operation. Results: All 18 patients had successful operation. 2 patients died at early post-operative stage including 1 with severe infection and respiratory failure, 1 with low cardiac output syndrome. 16 survivors had the average ICU stay time (140.2±124.5) h, mechanical ventilation (94.4±87.6) h, transcutaneous O2 saturation at quiet condition without O2 inhalation at (97.1±3.34) %. There were 3 patients lost contact during followed-up period and 13 received periodical examination. No obvious calcification was found in chest X-ray; echocardiography showed infrequent stenosis of right ventricular outflow tract, pulmonary valve ring and main pulmonary artery; left and right pulmonary artery stenosis at the second place. Conclusion: The safety and efficacy of fresh autologous pericardial tri-leaflet pulmonary artery conduit for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction was fine for treating relevant patients, the mid and long term effect should be further observed.

Objective The study aimed to explore the relationship between AIF related pathway and the inju-ring of cultured SGNs (spiral ganglion neurons)by glutamate toxicity,and to find AIF expression and distribution changes in SGNs.Methods SGNs of 40 newborn rats within 3 day were obtained and cultured in vitro.Cultured cells were divided into four groups:the normal control group,10 mM,20 mM and 40 mM glutamate injured group, separately.After 48 h hours culturing,optical microscopy,immune fluorescence staining and real-time fluores-cence quantitative PCR were used to observe the morphology,AIF distribution,and AIF,calpain,Caspase3 expres-sion changes in SGNs in vitro.TUNEL was used to verify the cell apoptosis.ResuIts Noticeable morphological chan-ges and cell apoptosis were occurred in 20 mM glutamate group,with AIF nuclear translocation.AIF gene expression was significantly higher than normal after glutamate administration (P<0.05);moreover,calpain gene expression increased(P<0.05);but caspase3 expression was not statistically significantly increased in all glutamate treated groups (P>0.05). ConcIusion In the process of cultured SGNs injured by glutamate,AIF participated in the cell apoptosis.Noticeable cell apoptosis were occurred in 20 mM glutamate group with AIF nuclear translocation.Calpain up-expression also contributed to excitatory neurotransmitter injury on SGNs,but Caspase 3 had no obvious effects.
