Objective:Based on the perspective of Universal Health Coverage(UHC),a mathematical model was developed to conduct quantitative study on the development status of Basic Medical Insurance Schemes(BMIS) in China.Methods:A mixed model was developed to conduct quantitative study on the development of BMIS in the period of 2003-2015 from five dimensions:coverage of population,benefit package,reimbursement rate,risk pooling level and unity of the schemes.Sensitivity analysis was also performed.Results:The UHC scores for BMIS in China from 2003 to 2015 fluctuated obviously.Given the range of 0-100 percent,the UHC score in 2003 was 52.2%,28.5% in 2006,23.9% in 2010 and 26.5% in 2015.The integration and equalization of BMIS and scaling up the risk pooling levels were shown to contribute significantly to UHC.Conclusion:The construction of mixed models was developed to provide a new calculation assessment tool for measuring the UHC,which consisted of completed evaluation tool package with addition model and multiplication model.Considering the future development of UHC,there is a still long way to go for BMIS in China.Emphases should be given to integration and equalization of BMIS as well as scaling up the risk polling to provincial and national level.

Objective:To study the drug distribution in the local tissues and lymph nodes treated with targeting and continuous interstitial chemotherapy for the oral squamous cell carcinoma before operation. Methods:8 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma were treated by implanting the sustain-released cisplatin around and into the primary lesion. Drug distribution in tissue were studied by the graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Results:The drug concentration in the center of the tumor,1 cm and 2 cm from the tumor fringe were (34.877 1?15.720 8),(20.690 0 ?15.688 6) and (6.635 7?3.862 3) ?g/g, respectively. The drug concentration within lymph nodes of the sub-mental and submandibular area, deep cervical lymph nodes for the upper,middle and lower were(2.991 4?3.055 7),(4.026 0 ?3.692 0), (7.192 0 ? 8.958 7) and (5.028 5?3.484 3)?g/g, respectively. Conclusion:Targeting and continuous interstitial chemotherapy for the oral squamous cell carcinoma by implanting sustain-released cisplatin can increase drug concentration in the local tissues and the lymph nodes, to attain good efficacy of targeting chemotherapy.

Objective To observe the effect of severe heatstroke on intestinal mucosal barrier function,and explore its correlation with systemic inflammatory reaction.Methods The SPF male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal control group,40 ℃ heat stress group and 42 ℃ heat stress group,with 6 mice in each group.The mice in normal control group were observed at normal temperature with (25.0 ± 0.5)℃,and the mice in heat stress groups were challenged with a temperature of (35.5 ± 0.5) ℃ and a humidity of (60 ± 5)% until body temperature increase up to 40 ℃ or 42 ℃ followed by recovering the surroundings temperature to normal temperature for 12 hours.The blood of medial angle of eye of mice in each group was collected for determination of plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels,and diamine oxidase (DAO) activity with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The level of D-lactic acid was determined with ultraviolet spectrophotometer.Then the mice in each group were sacrificed,and mesenteric lymph node (MLN),liver,spleen,lung,kidney tissues,and the blood from portal vein and caval vein were collected for colony count to observe the intestinal bacterial translocation.The ileum tissue was collected for observation of changes in histomorphology and ultrastructure of small intestine mucous membrane with microscope.Pearson linear regression analysis was used to explore the correlation between intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction and systemic inflammatory response.Results Compared with normal control group,plasma LPS,inflammatory parameters such as TNF-α and IL-6,and gut barrier function parameters such as DAO and D-lactic acid levels as well as the rate of bacterial translocation after heat stress were significantly increased,and the differences were more obvious in 42 ℃ heat stress group [LPS (EU/L):740±50 vs.340±40,TNF-α (ng/L):148.06±36.61 vs.12.89 ± 1.67,IL-6 (ng/L):110.91 ± 9.97 vs.18.02 ± 2.20,DAO (U/L):1 760 ± 400 vs.670± 50,D-lactic acid (mg/L):9.60 ± 1.48 vs.5.08 ± 0.28,rate of bacterial translocation:78.6% (33/42) vs.9.5% (4/42),all P < 0.01].It was shown by Pearson linear regression analysis that plasma LPS,TNF-α,IL-6 were positively correlated with DAO activity (r values were 0.834,0.808,0.836,respectively) and D-lactic acid (r values were 0.811,0.811,0.800,respectively) in 42 ℃ heat stress group (all P =0.000).It was showed by microscope that the changes in histomorphology and ultrastructure changes in intestinal mucosa were found after heat stress,and was obvious in 42 ℃ heat stress group as following:villus atrophy and falling off,infiltration of neutrophils and lymphocytes,the microvillus on the surface of mucosa cells were short and small,arranged in disorder,the tight junction between epithelial cells became widen,the mitochondrion and endoplasmic reticulum swelled obviously.Conclusion During the early stage of severe heatstroke,the damage of intestinal mucosal was obvious,and it has close correlation with systemic inflammatory response.

BACKGROUND: It is an important subject that how to relieve liver injury during perfusion preservation, and the pretreatment for donated liver is considered to be an effective method in this process, however, most studies are limited in animal experiment. Atomolan is a kind of reduced glutathione, which possess bidirection regulation of metabolism and detoxication. OBJECTIVE: To study the protective effect of reduced glutathione Atomolan on donor liver injury.METHODS: Totally 80 patients received liver transplantation in the Liver Transplantation Center, 81 Hospital of Chinese PLA, from May 2003 to August 2006, were divided into the control (n = 42), and Atomolan (n = 38) groups. The perfusion preservation conditions were similar, except 2.4 g glutathione was added into solutions in later group. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and malonaldehyde levels in liver tissues were measured, meanwhile, the liver tissues were observed under a light microscope and an electron microscope. Recipient plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirubin concentrations were assessed at 1 day post-operation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the liver ATP level of the Atomolan group was markedly increased (P < 0.01), MDA was decreased (P < 0.01), and the concentrations of ALT, AST, as well as total bilirubin were notably decreased (P < 0.01). Under a light microscope, it showed that the degrees of liver swelling histopathologic hepatic alterations were significantly lessened in the Atomolan group. While under an electron microscope, the structure of liver cells of the Atomolan group was clearer and included a higher number of mitochondria (P < 0.01). Results suggested that reduced glutathione has protective effect on donor liver injury during the procedure of hot and cold ischemia and perfusion.

Objective: To preliminarily investigate the relationship between the baseline level of serum soluble ST2 (sST2) and 30-day MACE occurrence rate in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: A total of 121 patients with confirmed diagnosis of STEMI in our hospital from 2015-05-01 to 2015-07-30 were consecutively enrolled. According to baseline sST2 level, the patients were divided into 2 groups:Low sST2 group, the patients with sST2≤56.68 ng/ml, n=61 and High sST2 group, the patients with sST2>56.68 ng/ml, n=60. Clinical condition and 30-day MACE (defined as death and new onset of congestive heart failure) occurrence rate were compared between 2 groups.
Results: ① The systolic blood pressure (SBP), Killip class≥II grade, blood levels of cTNI, NT-proBNP, hs-CRP and LVEF were different between 2 groups, all P<0.05. ② Baseline sST2 level was positively related to heart rate (r=0.271, P=0.003), Hs-CRP (r=0.359, P=0.000), cTNI (r=0.324, P=0.000) and NT-proBNP (r=0.425, P=0.000);negatively related to SBP (r=-0.226, P=0.013) and LVEF (r=-0.406, P=0.000).③30-day MACE occurrence rate was different between 2 groups (8.2%vs 30%, P=0.002). ④ Multivariate Cox regression analysis presented that sST2>56.68 ng/ml was the risk factor for 30-day MACE occurrence (HR=1.152, 95%CI 1.078-1.231, P=0.000).
Conclusion: Increased baseline level of sST2 implied the higher incidence of death and new onset of congestive heart failure in STEMI patients.
