Objective:To analyze the equity of health resource allocation in village-level medical institution in China,thus to provide the basis for formulating relevant health resources allocation policy.Methods:Using Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient,the rationality and equity of allocation of village health resources in China were evalua-ted by the equity of population distribution and the equity of geographical distribution.Results:The Gini coefficient of village health workers and health institutions was 0.19 and 0.20 respectively according to population distribu-tion,and was 0.65 and 0.63 respectively according to geographical distribution.The Gini coefficient's difference of village-level health resources in the eastern,central and western regions was small according to population distri-bution,but the difference was larger according to geographical distribution among different areas.Conclusion:The equity of village-level health resource allocation in China was preferable according to population distribution,but the equity according to geographic distribution was poorer.The formulation of health policy should pay more atten-tion to the equity of geographic distribution and allocate rationally.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the individual and combined diagnostic value of five tumor markers in the elderly patients with pleural effusion. Methods Serum and pleural levels of cytokeratin fragment19(CYFRA21 1), neuron specific enalase(NSE), carbohydrate antigen15 3(CA15 3), carbohydrate antigen19 9(CA19 9) and carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125) were assayed in 32 elderly patients with malignant pleural effusions resulting from advanced lung cancer and in 30 elderly patients with benign pleural effusions by ELISA. Results Serum levels of CYFRA21 1, NSE, CA15 3, CA19 9 and CA125 in patients with malignant pleural effusions were (12 84?6 48) ?g/L, (22 07?11 25) ?g/L, (65 74?30 26) kU/L, (56 32?25 67)kU/L and (71 86?31 45) kU/L, respectively and were significantly higher than those patients with benign pleural effusions (P

Objective:To investigate the current status of social support and mental health among residents in Weifang and analyze the impact of social support on mental health,thus to provide reference for improving the mental health status of residents.Methods:A sample of 6174 residents in Weifang was investigated using Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10).The data was analyzed statistically with Chi-square test,Kruskal-Wallis test and Multiple Logistic regression analysis.Results:About 0.3％ residents in Weifang reported low social support and 93 ％ residents showed good mental health.Gender,age,social support level and 3 dimensions of social support were associated with mental health respectively in the correlation analysis.In the multiple analyses,social support,subjective support,availability of support and mental health were positively correlated in the model of Good mental health and General mental health.Conclusion:The mental health status of residents in Weifang is not optimistic.The social support level has beneficial effect on mental health starus.Subjective support,objective support and the utilization of these supports imposes different degrees of inflnence on mental health status.

Objective:To understand cognition and satisfaction degree of mental health service among residents in Weifang,and provide reference for further development of mental health work.Methods:6174 residents were selected with random sampling method and a cognition survey was conducted using a self-designed questionnaire.Among them,553 residents were selected to investigate their satisfaction with mental health service.Results:The residents have unscientific cognition on mental health service,and they did not understand the delivery of community mental health services.Residents who have received mental health service were more satisfied with informed consent and patient privacy protection,and had low satisfaction with the clinic environment and the charge of inspection items.Conclusions:To improve residents' cognition and satisfaction of mental health service,we should further perfect the professional mental health institutions and personnel recruiting,and forcefully carry out mental health education.

Objective:This article is to study the quality of life and the situation of social support for the elderly in Weifang while analyzing the correlation between them.Methods:This study was undertaken among elderly aged over 60 followning the European five D health scale and Social Support Rating Scale.The results were analyzed statistically.Results:On the living quality of elderly in Weifang,the EQ-SD index was (0.78 ±0.12) and the EQ -VAS index was (76.42 ± 14.67).The result from each scale shows a tremendous health issue among the elderly in Weifang.On the other hand,the situation of social support for the elderly in Weifang appeared optimistic.Still,this situation can be improved in practical supports.Also,there was significant negative correlation between EQ-5D and SSRS (r =0.260,P ＜ 0.05).Results of multiple linear regression show that the subjective support and objective support may enter the regression equation.Conclusion:To conclude,the city of Weifang awaits improvements in aged care and social support for the elderly.Only by this chance the quahty of life of the elderly may be improved.

Objective:To analyze the significance and factors influencing of CT scan under the modified Valsalva maneuver. Methods:Clinical data of 52 patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosed from August 2021 to December 2022 were collected, all patients had calm breathing CT scan and modified Valsalva maneuver CT scan. Compare the exposure effect of the aryepiglottic fold, interarytenoid fold, postcricoid area, piriform fossa apex, posterior hypopharyngeal wall, and glottis with each CT scanning method. The effects of age, neck circumference, neck length, BMI, tumor site, and T stage on the exposure effect were analyzed. Results:In 52 patients, 50 patients（96.15%） completed CT scan at once time. The exposure effect of the CT scan under modified Valsalva maneuver in the aryepiglottic fold, interarytenoid fold, postcricoid area, piriform fossa apex, posterior hypopharyngeal wall was significantly better than CT scan under calm breathing（Z=-4.002, -8.026, -8.349, -7.781, -8.608, all P<0.01）, while CT scan under modified Valsalva maneuver was significantly worse in glottis than CT scan under calm breathing（Z=-3.625, P<0.01）. In the modified Valsalva CT scan, age had no obvious effect on the exposure effect. The exposure effect was better with long neck length, smaller neck circumference, smaller BMI and smaller T stage. The exposure of postcricoid carcinoma was better than pyriform sinus carcinoma and posterior hypopharyngeal wall carcinoma. But differences were not all statistically significant. Conclusion:The anatomical structure of the hypopharynx was clearly under CT scan with modified Valsalva maneuver, which clinical application is simple, but the effect of glottis was worse. The influence of age, neck circumference, neck length, BMI, and tumor T stage on the exposure effect still needs further investigation.
