Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of variable-frequency electroacupuncture treatment for elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods One hundred and twenty patients with knee oste-oarthritis were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was treated with variable-frequency electroaeupuncture, while the control group was treated with muscle strength training. Before treatment and after 8 weeks of treatment, the motor function of their knee joints was evaluated according to Lysholm' s knee scoring scale, quadriceps muscle strength was evaluated according to the maximum load capacity of knee ex-tension, and postural stability was evaluated using a static balance function test. Results Lysholm scores in the treatment group improved significantly compared with those before treatment, except for the item assessing support-ing. While in the control group, compared with before treatment, there were significant differences in the items as-sessing limp, inter-locking, instability, pain and stair activity. There were significant differences in the items as-sessing inter-locking, pain, swelling, stair activity and.squatting between the two groups after treatment. The maxi-mum knee extension load improved significantly in both groups. Static balance with the eyes both open and closed also improved significantly in both groups. There were significant difference in the length, covered area, rectangle-area and length/area of the sway traces of the two groups after treatment. Conclusions Variable-frequency elec-troacupuneture can effectively improve knee function, quadriceps muscle strength and postural stability in elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis.
3.Studies on Relationship of Serum Insulin like Growth Factors and Catch-up Growth in Rats
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 1998;0(01):-
Objective To investigate relationship of serum insulin like growth factors(IGFs) and catch up growth. Methods The model of rats intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) was built by clamping bilateral uterine arteries and veins of pregnant rats. The growth parameters (body weight and length), organs weights (brain, lungs and liver) and serum concentrations of IGF Ⅰ, Ⅱ of all neonatal rats was measured at birth and postnatal day 3 and day 5, respectively. Results (1)At birth, the serum levels of IGF Ⅰ, Ⅱ and the average growth parameters, organs weights in IUGR rats were significantly lower than those in control group( P 0.05). The serum of IGF Ⅱ in high catch up group was significantly higher than that at birth( P 0.05). Conclusion Both IGF Ⅰ, Ⅱmay play an important role in the regulation of catch up growth and the decrease of IGF Ⅰ, Ⅱlevels may be the internal factors contributing to the absence of postnatal catch up growth in IUGR rats.
4.Government compensation for Australian public hospitals
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2012;28(2):153-157
As introduced in the paper,Australian government subsidize the public hospitals with all their budget needs as compensation,with the two levels of governments constituting the largest buyer of health products and services in the country.In addition,the government supports the hospitals with their facilities.A rational government investment mechanism is proposed with reference to such a model for the ongoing reform of public hospitals in China.

AIM:To study the protective effect of procyanidin single active ingredient B2 (PC-B2) on human endothelial progenitor cells ( EPCs) stimulated with high glucose.METHODS: The human EPCs were isolated from pe-ripheral blood of healthy people and identified.The EPCs were divided into control group (PBS treatment), hypertonic control group (25 mmol/L mannitol treatment), high glucose (30 mmol/L) group, and different concentrations (2, 10 and 50 mg/L) of PC-B2+30 mmol/L glucose groups.The viability of EPCs was detected by CCK-8 assay.The levels of LDH, MDA, SOD and GSH in the EPCs were detected.The changes of NO, ET-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in the EPCs cultured medium were measured by ELISA.The cell apoptotic rate and reactive oxygen species ( ROS) in the EPCs were analyzed by flow cytometry.The expression of VEGF and VEGFR-2 in the EPCs were determined by Western blot.RE-SULTS:Compared with control group, the viability of human EPCs was decreased significantly in 30 mmol/L glucose group (P<0.05).The LDH leakage, MDA content and the releases of ET-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were induced signifi-
cantly (P<0.05), but SOD and GSH activity and NO production were decreased significantly (P<0.05).The ROS and cell apoptotic rate were increased significantly (P<0.05).The expression of VEGF and VEGFR-2 in the EPCs were de-creased (P<0.05).When human EPCs were treated with different concentrations of PC-B2 and 30 mmol/L glucose, the viability was obviously rebounded (P<0.05), the LDH leakage, MDA content and the releases of ET-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were decreased gradually (P<0.05), the SOD, GSH activity and NO production were increased significantly (P<0.05), the ROS and cell apoptotic rate were decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the expression of VEGF and VEGFR-2 in the EPCs was increased gradually ( P <0.05 ) .CONCLUSION: PC-B2 enhances the viability of human EPCs under high glucose condition, reduces high glucose-induced oxidative damage, restores the EPCs normal function, and reduces the releases of inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis, thus playing a protective effect on human EPCs through inducing the expression of VEGF and VEGFR-2.

AIM: To investigate the refractive distribution and analysis risk factors for aircrew ametropia.
METHODS: The number of 49 cases with ametropia from 1031 aircrew during May 2013 to May 2014 were reviewed. Various types of refraction composition, age, type, position, time of flight with the subjective assessment of aircrew were analyzed and compared.
RESULTS:Of 49 cases, 43 cases (88%) were myopia, 6 cases ( 12%) were hypermetropia. , Detection rates were higher in age over 50 years aircrew and flight time more than 3000h. Detection rates were lower in self-conscious symptom heavy aircrew, fighter aircrew and good habit of using eyes.
CONCLUSION: The myopia incidence in aircrew with age >50 years and long flight time is higher, than that of fighter pilots and good habit of using eyes. We should pay attention to the increasing late-onset myopia of aviators and habit of using eyes, work intensity and time of using eyes about aircrew.

This paper overviewed typical government compensation sources and practices for public hospitals in the world.Government compensation should be made based on regional health planning,while the central government shoulders greater compensation responsibility.The fee-for-case mix is found to be the best incentive The government adjusts its funding baselines for different hospitals to adjust the compensation.In view of the compensation for public hospitals in China,the paper analyzed the enlightenments and lessons from international experiences The authors recommend an evolution from the pattern of compensation per person/per bed,to payment by service unit or volume(for example,per outpatient or emergency visit and days of stay),and in the end to that of payment per disease.

Objective To assess the subgenotypes of pathogenic Cryptococcus gattii isolates from China and to elucidate the epidemiological links between these domestic isolates and those from other parts of the world. Methods DNA was extracted from 9 clinical isolates of Ctyptococcus gattii from China. The partially variable regions of the three unlinked loci, namely IGS1, PLB1 and GEF1, were amplified and sequenced, and the bioinformation at these loci was obtained from GenBank for multi-locus sequences alignment and phylogenetic analysis. Results Of these 9 clinical isolates, 8 were genotype VG Ⅰ and mating type α with the same sequences at the tested regions as the reference strain WM276, which was a representative isolate of an independent subgenotype; 1 was of genotype VG Ⅱ and mating type α, which was the first report in China, with the tested sequences consistent with those of the referrence strain R272. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of GEF1 gene, which was located at mating type locus, successfully identified the genotypes and mating types of all the Cryptococcus gattii isolates involved here. Conclusions Multi-locus sequence analysis shows that causative Cryptococcus gattii isolates of genotype VG Ⅰ in China carry similar sequences at the tested loci in IGS1, PLB1 and GEF1 genes, to a widely distributed subgenotype in the world, and the sequences of the first VG Ⅱ genotype isolate from China resemble the less virulent subgenotype VG Ⅱ b found in Vancouver islands.
