Trials in public hospital reforms bear special significance for rational deployment of health resources and exploring the separation of hospital management from routine operations. The paper identified such setbacks in the present trials as easy technology measures, numerous models of separations, difficulty in setting pharmaceutical service fees, and inadequate governance. Authors also recommended such measures as searching for appropriate reforms for public hospitals locally, greater financial resources for completing the compensation mechanism of public hospitals, streamlining their management system for separation of management from operations, and improving governance. All these efforts are designed to enhance the public benefit nature of public hospitals.

Objective To investigate the changes of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)in acute phase of cerebral infarction. Methods From March 2011 to June 2012,95 patients with early cerebral infarction from the Neurology Clinic,the Emergency Department and the Cerebral Apoplexy Screening Project Base,and the Neurology Ward of Renhe Hospital were used as an infarction group;61 non-stroke subjects received physical examination in the Physical Examination Center of our hospital in the same period were used as a control group. The cerebral infarction group and the patients with cerebral infarction in different onset of time groups (an onset < 12 h group and an onset 12-24 h group),the different National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)score groups (NIHSS 0 -4 group and NIHSS 5 -19 group),and the levels of UCH-L1 and GFAP in the control group were measured and compared among the groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve was established. The cut-off values of the relevant parameters in the diagnosis of cerebral infarction,and the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis were obtained. Results The UCH-L1 and GFAP values of the cerebral infarction group were all higher than those of the normal control group (0. 13[0. 09,0. 21]μg/ L vs. 0. 05[0. 02,0. 13]μg/ L,0. 030[0. 008,0. 130]μg/ L vs. 0. 004[0. 004,0. 020]μg/ L,Z values were 3. 62 and 4. 95 respectively;all P < 0. 01). The UCH-L1 and GFAP values of the NIHSS score 5 -19 group were higher than those of the NIHSS score 0 -4 group (0. 12[0. 08,0. 21]vs. 0. 09[0. 08,0. 18],0. 07 [0. 01,0. 11]vs. 0. 04[0. 01,0. 10];all P < 0. 05). There was no significant difference in the UCH-L1 and GFAP values between the onset 12 -24 h group and the onset < 12 h group (0. 12[0. 08,0. 21]μg/ L vs. 0. 09[0. 08,0. 18]μg/ L,0. 030[0. 010,0. 110]μg/ L vs. 0. 040[0. 008,0. 100]μg/ L;all P > 0. 05). The analysis results of ROC curve of UCH-L1 and GFAP for diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction showed that when the plasma UCH-L1 was ≥0. 18 μg/ L,the sensitivity and specificity of UCH-L1 were 68% and 74%respectively;When the plasma GFAP was ≥0. 11 μg/ L,the sensitivity and specificity of GFAP were 70% and 86% respectively. The area under the ROC curve of UCH-L1 and GFAP diagnosis of cerebral infarction were 0. 64 and 0. 71 respectively. Conclusions UCH-L1 and GFAP have obvious change in acute phase of cerebral infarction. UCH-L1 and GFAP may have certain correlation with the severity of stroke.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the influencing factors during the hospitalization of premature infants in the neonatal intensive careunit (NICU) based on the breast-feeding choices of the primary family caregivers of premature infants discharged from NICU.Methods:According to the breast-feeding status of 342 premature infants discharged from the NICU from The First hospital of Jilin University from June 1st, 2019 to December 31th, 2019, a self-designed data collection form for premature infants was used to investigate them, and the influencing factors of NICU hospitalization on breast-feeding selection were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The factors influencing breastfeeding included gestational age ( tvalue was-2.177, P=0.029), birth weight ( tvalue was-2.036, P=0.043), feeding mode during hospital stay ( χ2value was 6.582, P=0.010), length of hospital stay ( Zvalue was-2.205, P=0.027), maternal age ( Zvalue was-2.975, P=0.003), maternal education level ( χ2value was 8.350, P=0.04) and twin pregnancy ( χ2value was 7.367, P=0.007). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that breast-feeding during hospitalization ( P=0.003) and older age of the mother ( P<0.001) were favorable factors to promote breast-feeding. Twin pregnancy ( P=0.006), low maternal education ( P=0.001) and gestational age ( P=0.006) were the risk factors that were not conducive to the implementation of breastfeeding. Conclusion:During the hospital period, the implementation of breastfeeding and the old age of the mother are conducive to the choice of breastfeeding after discharge, while twin pregnancy, low education of the mother and premature infants of large gestational age are not conducive to the implementation of breastfeeding.

Intrathecal (I. T.)administration of K opioid dynorphin A (1-17) is used as a model of neurological dysfunction which lnvolved in spinal cord injury and secondary affection according to several previous reports. 5-amlno-2-phosphoveroleric acid (APV ), an NMDA receptor antagonist, can significantlly prevent the hindlimb paralysis in rats produced by I. T. dynorPhin A (1-17). To further investigate the mechanisms, we establis11 a nlodel of [3H]L,-Glu release in rats spinal slices influenced by dynorphin A (dynA ) (1-17). [3H]L-Glu release evoked by high [K+] (5Ommol/L,)is a Ca2+-dependent process. DynA (1-17) slgnificantly inhibited [3H]L,-Glu release at 1O-8mol/L,, but very significantly enhanced [3H]L-Glu release at 10-6 mol /L. The synthetic k agonist U50, 488H, which has no neurotoxic effect, inhibited [3H]L-Glu release at both high and low concentrations and did not have any enhancing effect. The results suggest that the analgesic effect of dynA (1-17) at physiological dosage may be rnediated by presynaptic K opioid receptor through the inhibition of Ca2+ influx and L-Glu release;but dynA (1-l7)enhanced L-Glu release through a non-opioid pathway and induced hindlimb paralysis at high neurotoxic dosage.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the curative effect of combined transplantation of bone marrow and umbilical cord blood of same sibling in children with β-thalassemia major.METHODS: Eight thalassemia major patients undergoing combined transplantation of bone marrow and umbilical cord blood of same sibling aged from 4.0 to 7.5 years, 5 boys and 3 girls, were recruited at the Department of Pediatrics, Nanfang Hospital,Southem Medical University from January 2005 to March 2009. The patients were classified into three classes according to Pesarothalassamia classification, class Ⅰ to class Ⅱ 7 cases and class Ⅲ 1 case. Donors ranged 1-4 years received 10 μg/kg per day of subcutaneous granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for 5 consecutive days. Bone marrow was harvested on the fifth day. Bone marrow and umbilical cord blood of the same sibling then were transfused into the patient.RESULTS: Recovery of hematopoiesis was gained in all patients 4 weeks following transplantation. Seven patients suffered from infection of different degree. Four patients developed mild venous occlusive disease. Two patients developed grade Ⅰ acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and one developed grade Ⅰ chronic GVHD. Seven patients were alive and one died of pulmonary infection and heart failure 32 days following transplantation.CONCLUSION: Combined transplantation of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor primed bone marrow and umbilical cord blood of same sibling in children with β-thalassemia major is safe and effective with promising results. However, complications should be paid high attention following transplantation.
