Objective To sum up experience and lessons in the reform of the property rights of state-owned enterprises and explore policies and measures appropriate for reform in the property rights of the medical and health system. Methods Such methods as retrospective analysis, literature search and two-level data collection were used to gather relevant information and then comparisons were made of the major differences in the reform of the property rights of public hospitals and state-owned enterprises with regard to external environment, internal structure, reform progress, and changes in property rights. Results Due to the unique features of the medical and health industry, reform in the property rights of public hospitals proved to be different from that of state-owned enterprises, with the former displaying specific characteristics in the mainstay of competition, development of the elements market, and rules and manners of competition, all of which must be handled carefully. Conclusion Improvement of the external environment of competition ought to be the focus of reform in the property rights of public hospitals.

Nanomaterials appear to be promising for a number of applications in in-vitro diagnostics, mainly due to the biocompatibility, specific surface and conduction activity. The use of nanostructures as diagnostic tools has the advantage of very low limit of detection achievable, high sensitivity, strong selectivity and the possibility to fabricate point-of-care diagnostic devices. With the problems of nanotechnology solved, nanomaterials had already put a broad impact in the field of clinical medical examination.

Template direct dye-terminator incorporation with fluorescence-polarization (TDI-FP assay) is a technology for genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). To apply this method in analyses of A647G variation in human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 E7 gene from HPV 16-positive cervical tissues, a total of 91 and 49 HPV 16-positive DNA samples obtained from women with cervical cancer and normal/inflamed cervices living in Shaanxi in northwest China were subjected to the partial E7 gene PCR with nucleotide (nt) 647 in the products. Then, the oligonucleotide probe designed to anneal immediately to nt 647 was hybridized to the template within the PCR amplicons, and extended specifically by TAMRA-ddTTP or R110-ddCTP directed by the base at nt 647. The increasing FP values were read and the base at nt 647 was identified. The prevalence of nt 647 A→G was 35.71% (50/140). The variation 647G detected in 42.86% (39/91) of women with cervical cancer was significantly higher than 22.45% (11/49) detected in those with normal/inflamed cervices (x2 = 5.778, P = 0.016). The odds ratio (OR) between these two groups was 2.59 (95% confidence interval=l.17～5.71). The results demonstrate that TDI-FP method can be potentially applied in analysis of interest point mutations in HPVs. The incidence and risk implication of HPV 16 A647G variant infection in Shaanxi, China, displays significant geographic difference from other areas. The HPV 16 with E7 gene A647G point mutation appears to have a higher risk for invasive cervical cancer in women living in Shaanxi.

significantly increased (all P < 0.01). Following SREBP-1 was down-regulated by siRNA, high glucose-stimulated TGF-β1 and FN protein expressions were decreased by 17.9% and 24.6% ,respectively(all P<0.01).

BACKGROUND:Polychlorinated biphenyls inhibit the differentiation of P19 cels into cardiomyocytes. In the meanwhile, microRNAs play an important role in regulating cel differentiation.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of microRNA-32(miR-32) on the polychlorinated biphenyls-inhibited differentiation of P19 cels into cardiomyocytes.
METHODS:P19 cels were co-cultured with 2.5 μmol/L polychlorinated biphenyls and 1% dimethyl sulfoxide. Afterwards, α-actinin, desmin, cTnI and GATA4 were identified by western blot assay.Wddwxrof polychlorinated biphenyls on the expression of miR-32 was evaluated by real-time PCR. Mouse eukaryotic vector expressing miR-32 was constructed by gene recombination technology,andtransfected into P19 celsfolowed byco-culturedwith2.5 μmol/Lpolychlorinated biphenylsand1% dimethyl sulfoxide. Then, expressions of differentiation-related proteins were detected by western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Polychlorinated biphenylsinhibited the differentiation of P19 cels into cardio myocytes anddecreased the miR-32 expression. Cel lines overexpressing miR-32 was successfuly established in mice.Furthermore, we found thatoverexpression of miR-32 weakens the inhibition of polychlorinated biphenyls to the differentiation of P19 cels into cardiomyocytes.

Objective To investigate the value of MR intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)imaging and dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced(DSC)perfusion imaging in astrocytoma grading.Methods 22 patients with high grade astrocytoma and 28 patients with low grade astrocytoma underwent conventional MRI and IVIM,DSC scanning before operation.Parameters of IVIM included standard diffusion coefficient(ADCstandard ),slow diffusion coefficient(D),fast diffusion coefficient(D? ),fractional perfusion-related volume (f)values,and parameters of DSC included relative blood volume(rCBV),relative blood flow(rCBF)values of tumor solid part were measured quantitatively.The values between the two groups were compared by two samples t-test.By using ROC curve to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of using IVIM and DSC alone or jointly.Results The ADCstandard ,D,rCBV,rCBF values of tumor solid part had significant differences between the groups(P<0.01).The D? and f values were no significant differences (P=0.130,P=0.379).The area under the ROC curve of the values showed that ADCstandard (0.823),D(0.854),rCBV(0.858),rCBF(0.871),D+rCBV(0.952),D+rCBF(0.953).Conclusion The D,rCBV,rCBF values are helpful to determine the grade of astrocytomas.The use of IVIM in combination with DSC may improve the diagnostic accuracy of astrocytoma grading.

Aim: To search for novel α_1-adrenoceptor(α_1-AR) antagonists. Methods: On the basis of hybridization principle with silodosin as the lead compound, twelve 5-[2-[4-[ ( substituted phenoxy) alkyl] piperazin-1-yl] propyl] indoline compounds were designed and synthesized by maintaining indoline while incorporating the 1-[(substituted phenoxy) alkyl] piperazine group. Results: The structures of synthesized target compounds were confirmed by the elemental analysis, IR, ESI-MS and ~1H NMR. Preliminary pharmacological test showed that pA_2 values of six target compounds were greater than 7. 50, which suggested that the compounds possessed considerable α_1-AR antagonic activity. Conclusion: 5-[2-[4-[ ( substituted phenoxy) alkyl] piperazin-1-yl] propyl] indoline compounds is potentially a new candidate for α_1-AR antagonist.

A chiral LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous analysis of desvenlafaxine (DVS) enantiomers in human plasma was developed and applied to a pharmacokinetic study on 12 Chinese healthy volunteers. d6-Desvenlafaxine was used as internal standard (IS). Chromatographic separation was performed on the Astec Chirobiotic V chiral column (150 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The assay was linear over the concentration range of 0.500-150 ng x mL(-1) for both enantiomers (r2 > 0.99). The method was successfully applied to a stereoselective pharmacokinetic study of 100 mg desvenlafaxine sustained release tablets on 12 Chinese healthy volunteers under fasting conditions. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters were similar to both enantiomers in Chinese healthy volunteers. The AUC(0-t), and C(max) of the two enantiomers were about 1.5 times higher than those of blacks and whites reported in the literature.
