Objective:To analyze the pros and cons of the US strategic national stockpile ( SNS) from the per-spective of the supply chain and to put forward suitable recommendations for China’s national emergency medicine system. Methods:Literature review and a comprehensive analysis have been utilized to understand the SNS supply chain model and its differences from the Chinese model. Results:From the perspective of the supply chain, the Unit-ed State’s storage of emergency medicine consists of the forward placement of push packages, managed inventory and purchase contracts. The deployment of logistics for emergency medicine must gain approval from the federal government’s “local-state-nation” system, and be conducted at a different time. To transmit information, a large da-tabase, simulation software, and a technical advisory response unit have been established to manage information flow to distribute medicine accurately and promptly. Conclusion:Given the experiences of supply chain management in the US SNS system, it is critical for China to improve the supply chain system of emergency medicine, define the institu-tions and responsibilities within the supply chain, establish disaster relief reserve of emergency medicine and adopt fourth-party logistics for emergency medicine in order to make the China’s emergency preparedness more systemized, standardized, and information-based.

With the development of biological techniques,the study on the pathogenesis of disease-causing genes of congenital cataracts has substantial progress.Some positive results of screen of mutation gene in congenital cataract family has been reported,but the report of negative result is rate.ObjectiveThe present study attempts to screen the mutation of CRYAA,CRYAB,CRYA1/A3,CRYBB2,CRYGC and CRYGD gene in a Chinese family with autosomal dominant congenital cataract. MethodsThe periphery blood samples were exacted from 8 patients of 4 generations of with congenital cataract in this family.The complete coding region and intron spliced sites of CRYAA,CRYAB,CRYA1/A3,CRYBB2,CRYGC and CRYGD were amplified with polymerase chain reaction (PCR),and the products of PCR were directly sequenced.The control blood samples were from 10 normal subjects.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki.Written informed consent was obtained from all of the patients.ResultsThe patients were found in each generation in this family and the mode of inheritance was in accordance with the characteristic of autosomal dominant inheritance.The sequence of amplified genetic fragments of CRYAA,CRYAB,CRYA1/A3,CRYBB2,CRYGC and CRYGD genes were inaccordance with those of normal subjects and GeneBank.No any mutation loci was found in all of the patients of this family.ConclusionCRYAA,CRYAB,CRYA1/A3,CRYBB2,CRYGC and CRYGD genes is not the causing-disease genes in this family.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the diagnosis, treatment and surgical approaches of parapharyngeal space tumors. METHOD: This retrospective study consisted of 112 patients with parapharyngeal space tumors underwent surgeries. The data included clinical symptoms and signs, pathological types, imaging examinations, surgical approaches and postoperative complications. RESULT: Computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRD and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) made clear the tumor size, localization and its relation to adjacent structures. The postoperative histopathology varied and showed benign in 98 cases consisting of salivary gland tumors (52 cases), neurogenic tumors(33 cases) and other types (13 cases). During the 3 years follow-up period, local recurrence appeared in 3 patients with salivary pleomorphic adenoma and 1 patient with neurofibromatosis. These recurrent tumor cases were cured with second surgery. In 14 patients with malignant tumors reported, 8 cases survived for 5 years, 2 cases (1 adenoid cystic carcinoma and 1 carcinoma in pleornorphic adenoma) recurred in the two and a half years cured with second surgery affiliated radiation therapy through 3 years follow-up time and the rest were followed up 1 to 3 years without recurrence. Peripheral facial paralysis was observed in 25 patients, and 3 patients experienced hypoglossal nerve palsy. Only 1 patient encountered vagus nerve injury, and 2 patients appeared Horner's syndrome, and 4 patients endured Frey syndrome. Gills leakage was discovered in 3 cases and cavity infection was noted in 1 patient. CONCLUSION CT, MRI and DSA were important in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of parapharyngeal space tumors. The key to successful treatment is knowing the anatomy of the parapharyngeal space, preoperative assessment and appropriate surgical approach.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to improve students' ability in practical and theoretical courses of oral health education and to promote students' learning interest and initiative.

METHODSFourth-year students of the oral medical profession from 2006 to 2008 at Weifang Medical University were chosen as research objects for oral health education to explore the experimental teaching reform. The students were divided into test and control groups, with the test group using the "speak out" way of teaching and the control group using the traditional teaching method. Results of after-class evaluation of the test group, as well as final examination and practice examination of the two groups, were analyzed and compared.

RESULTSAfter-class evaluation results of the test group showed that the "speak out" teaching method was recognized by the students and improved students' ability to understand oral health education. The final examination and practice examination results showed that the score of the test group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSION"Speak out" teaching methods can improve students' ability for oral health education, in accordance with the trend of teaching reform.

Objective To discuss the cause and treatment strategy for open laryngotracheal trauma.Methods The clinical data of 38 cases with open laryngotracheal trauma admitted from 1998 to 2012 were collected and analyzed.Of them,one patient died in emergency department despite energetic resuscitation,37 were hospitalized and given advanced treatment after life support measures in emergency department.They were treated with tracheotomy before or during operation.Of them,32 patients were regularly followed up for imaging studies.Result Except 1 patient died of exsanguination from carotid artery rupture,the other 37 survived after successful treatment.Twenty patients were treated with debridement and suture of the wounds and laryngoplasty (20/37,54.1％),8 patients were operated with laryngoplasty plus intraluminal stents implanted (8/37,21.6％) ; the rest 9 patients (9/37,24.3％) were separately given placement of nickel-titanium shape memory alloy stent (n =2),laryngofissure with rubber gloves throat models implanted and laryngoplasty (n =3),linear silicone tube implanted and laryngoplasty with trans-cervical approach (n =1) and tracheoesophageal fistula neoplasty with laryngoplasty and laryngofissure (n =3).The operated patients were followed-up for 0.5 to 3 years after discharge.Of them,35 patients (35/37,94.6％) had successful decannulation,breathing smoothly and swallowing normally,23 patients (23/37,62.2％) had almost normal pronunciation,12 patients (12/37,32.4％) had different degrees in hoarseness of voice,and 2 patients (2/37,5.4％) were referred to other hospital because of failure in extubation with severe stenosis of laryngotrachea.Conclusions When the patients with open laryngotracheal trauma were treated,the essential strategy was to prevent shock,hemorrhage,and asphyxia.In the case of patent respiratory tract and stable vital signs,laryngotracheal reconstruction should be carried out as soon as possible to prevent complications,thereby obtaining good therapeutic effect.

Objective To explore a medical insurance model for rare diseases and orphan drugs applicable in China.Methods Eleven rare diseases from six disease systems and thirty-five orphan drugs covered were pinpointed for comparative analysis of their present coverage in various medical insurance systems in China.Results The coverage of 35 orphan drugs in the national essential drug list(2009)and the national essential drug list(2012)is 0 and 37.1％ respectively; the coverage in the national essential insurance medicine list is 54.3％ (19 types),and the average coverage in the medicine list for the New Rural Cooperative Medical Insurance Scheme is 33.6％.The study found insufficient rare diseases included in the Basic Medical Insurance Schemes in general.Conclusion The coverage of basic medical insurance for rare disease patients is low in China.In this regard,such measures should be taken to mitigate the economic burden for these patients,namely expanding the coverage of reimbursement list of orphan drugs,building the special reimbursement system of rare diseases and orphan drugs and improving the medical rescue system for rare diseases in China and their medical care level.

Methods Divided 112 patients in ICU into the A group(58 eases) and the B group(54 cas-es) according to their station of hemodynamics. Mechanical ventilation were used in both the two groups,PetCO_2 and PaCO_2 were monitored at the same time, and then observed the correlation of PetCO_2 and Pa-CO_2 in both the two groups. Results There was a significant corrlation in the A group about PetCO_2 and PaCO_2, while the correlation in the B group was not significant. Conclusions PetCO_2 and PaCO_2 had sat-isfactory corrlation in patients with stable hemedynamies, PetCO_2 monitoring can take place of PaCO_2 in these patients with its sensitive, atraumatic, consecutive and convient merits.

Objective To explore the outpatients′experience of caring and provide references for improving their experience of medical care.Methods The phenomenology research method was adopted in this study,and twenty-one outpatients were subject to an in-depth interview to learn their outpatient experiences.Results Ten themes of experience with caring were extracted as follows:passionate and patient,careful and considerate,respect for others,offers to help,encouraging and comforting,apologies and courteously,humor,truthful considerations,conscientious and responsible,and a caring environment setup.Five themes of experience without caring were extracted as follows:impatient communication, careless seeing of outpatients,delayed service,passive reminders,and facilities without enough details. Conclusions The outpatients may have abundant experiences of caring at the outpatient clinic,also lack of caring sometimes as well.Outpatient managers should keep an eye on outpatients′needs and satisfaction of caring from time to time,to improve the quality of outpatient service.

Purpose To exp1ore the c1inicopatho1ogica1 features,diagnosis and differentia1 diagnosis of mu1ti1ocu1ar cystic rena1 ce11 carcinoma( MCRCC). Methods 18 cases of MCRCC were reported by microscopy,immunohistochemistry,differentia1 diagnosis and were fo11owed-up. Results A11 patients were adu1ts inc1uding twe1ve ma1es and six fema1es who aged from 26 to 68 years(mean 55. 6 years). Imaging studies revea1ed a po1ycystic mass,with c1ear boundary. Gross1y,the cut surface of the tumors had more cysts of va-rying sizes,containing serous or b1oody f1uid. Microscopica11y,the cyst wa11s of tumors were often covered with a few simp1e c1ear ce11s,stratified epithe1ium or devoid of epithe1ium. The septa contained aggregates of epithe1ia1 ce11s with transparent cytop1asm which showed gradeⅠ nuc1ear features,these characteristics were diagnostic c1ues of MCRCC. Immunohistochemica11y the c1ear ce11 was positive for CD10,vimentin,EMA and Ki-67 showed 1ow pro1iferative activity. 18 case were fo11owed up,mean fo11ow-up 43 months, no case recurred or with metastasis. Conclusion MCRCC is a rare histo1ogica1 subtype of rena1 ce11 carcinoma with more favorab1e prognosis. It shou1d be distinguished from cystic change of c1ear ce11 rena1 carcinoma and cysts of kidney 1esion.
