Objective:To analyze the effect of global budget of New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NCMS) on the per-visit inpatient compensations,inpatient compensation ratios,per-visit inpatient out-of-pocket expenses and inpatient out-of-pocket rates.Methods:The difference in difference method was used to control the non-intervention factors and estimate the net impact of global budget.Results:Global budget of NCMS decreased the per-visit inpatient compensations by 14.37 yuan,but it had no statistical significance.The compensation ratio of hospitalization increased by 5.23%,the average hospitalization self-payment decrease by 141.51 yuan,the self-payment decreased by 5.23%,which all had statistical significance while there were differences on the effects for specific diseases.Conclusion:Global budget of NCMS increased the inpatient benefit,but the effect was varies by conditions.In addition,measurement of global budget's standard still needed to be scientific and reasonable.

Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a highly heterogeneous group of malignant tumors originating from mesenchymal tissues. The most common sites of STS are limbs (45%), viscera (21%) and retroperitoneum (17%). The incidence of head and neck soft tissue sarcomas (HNSTS) is the lowest (5%) compared with other areas of the body. Due to numerous functional organs and delicate and complex anatomical structures of the head and neck, it is often difficult to perform radical surgical treatment. Therefore, radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of HNSTS. Due to its low incidence, radiotherapy for HNSTS has been rarely studied and captivated little attention. In this article, the present situation and clinical evidence of radiotherapy for HNSTS were summarized, aiming to provide reference for clinical practice.
