1.Why some rural health policies are difficult to be implemented in F counties: A case study of New Rural Cooperative Medical System and the Basic Public Health Policy
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2017;10(4):65-70
Rural health policies are difficult to be implemented at the village level in China.From the perspective of health administrative departments and township health centers, this is due to the lack of the basic conditions of rural health policy and the basic ability of the rural health policy.But from the point of view of village doctors, this is because of the lack of personnel, funding and other embarrassing situations, especially due to crisis and risks are taken to the village clinics and village doctors by the township health centers.In fact, the main reason why the health policy is difficult to land at the village level is that the relationship between the township health centers and village clinics have not been rationalized, as can be specifically seen in weak position of village clinics compared with township health centers.The key to rationalize the relationship between the township health centers and village clinics is to strengthen the development capacity of village doctors, at the same time to get rid of the misunderstanding for village doctors in some of the thinking and policy and strengthen the accountability of primary authorities, and finally open up the relationship between the township health centers and village clinics.
2.Applications of ultra-wide-field fluorescein angiography in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2017;33(1):90-92
Ultra-wide-field fluorescein angiography (UWFA) is a novel breakthrough in ocular fundus imaging technology, which can capture a single, high-resolution, 200° wide image of the ocular fundus that traditional fluorescein angiography cannot reach. This technology has important impacts on the screening, diagnosis, staging, treatment and follow-up of vascular diseases involving peripheral retina (such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion, uveitis and so on).

Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2017;36(2):134-137
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Tong Du Wen Yang (unblocking the Governor Vessel and warming yang) in treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).Method Twenty-eight eligible ALS patients were randomized into two groups by following the visiting sequence. Thirteen patients in the control group were intervened by orally taking Riluzole tablets; 15 cases in the treatment group were by Tong Du Wen Yang needling in addition to oral administration of Riluzole tablets. Before treatment and after 6-month treatment, the therapeutic efficacies were evaluated by using the Chinese medicine syndrome and sign scoring for Wei-flaccidity diseases and Appel function scale.Result After the treatment, the Chinese syndrome and sign scoring scores for Wei-flaccidity dropped in both groups, and the decrease in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.05). The Appel scores dropped in both groups after the treatment, while the decrease in the treatment group was less significant than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Tong Du Wen Yang needling plus orally taking Riluzole tablets can produce a more significant efficacy than using Western medication alone in treating ALS.

Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(2):95-98
Objective To observe the efficacy of acupuncture at Hegu (LI4) in treating central facial palsy due to cerebral ischemia, and to explore the dose-effect correlation and the optimal acupuncture protocol.Method Totally 150 patients with central facial palsy due to ischemic stroke were randomized into four groups to receive acupuncture at Hegu with different stimulation parameters plus the conventional integrated Chinese and Western medicine (group A, B, C, D) according to the acupuncture time and direction, and a control group (group E) only to receive the conventional Chinese and Western medicine treatment. The treatment lasted 14 d. The House-Brackmann facial nerve grading system, Toronto Facial Grading System and facial palsy grading scale were adopted as the evaluation indexes.Result After intervention, the scores of the three indexes were all significantly increased in the five groups (P<0.05), and the inter-group comparisons showed significant differences in comparing the improvement rate (P<0.05).Conclusion The study shows that acupuncture at Hegu is effective in treating central facial palsy due to cerebral ischemia, and with the inverse insertion of the needle and manipulation for 5 min at Hegu should be the optimal protocol regarding the improvement of the symptom score and effective rate.
5.Progress on the rural health issues from the village community perspective:A reflection on“Study of village power and rural health service management mode”
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2015;(5):54-61
The core problem of current rural health services is a governance problem, that is, how the basic rural health resources can be used more effectively. Based on the study of history and reality, this paper suggests that in the existing “government-market” framework, the village is the third perspective worthy of consideration. Inside the village community, the trust, network and cooperation between people which were based on the traditional rural acquaintances society capital and the institutional resources in the organizations at the primary level will be able to in-crease the degree of organization, thereby reducing the transaction costs between the government or the market and rural residents. The village power will be able to better take advantage of government and market mechanisms, and thus solve the problem of rural health resource utilization more effectively.

Objective To investigate the relationship between body mass index(BMI)and cardiac structure and function of adult men living in Hebei province.Methods A total of 160 adults were assigned to 4 groups by BMI:normal body weight group(group A,BMI 18.5 to 23.9 kg/m2),overweight group (group B,BMI 24.0 to 27.9 kg/m2),mild obese group(group C,BMI 28.0 to 29.9 kg/m2),and severe obese group(group D,BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2).Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(EDD),end-systolic diameter(ESD),inter ventricular septal thickness(IVS),left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPW),left ventricular mass(LVM),and left ventricular mass index(LVMI)were examined by echocardiography.Early(E)peak diastolic and late(A)diastolic mitral inflow velocity and E/A ratio were measured by Doppler echocardiography.Pulsed wave Doppler tissue image(PW-DTI)of the lateral mitral annulus was performed to evaluate early peak diastolic velocity(Em),late peak diastolic velocity(Am)and Em/Am ratio.Results Compared with group A,EDD,ESD,LNM,LVMI,Am,IVS and LVPW were increased in the other 3 groups(all P < 0.05).E,E/A ratio,Em,and Em/Am ratio were decreased in group B,C,and D(all P < 0.05).Compared with group B,Sm was decreased in group C and D(both P < 0.05).Conclusion Overweight and obesity could contribute to ventricular hypertrophy and deteriorate diastolic function in a BMI dependent manner.Obesity may be also related to decreased Sm.

Objective To master of the characteristics of development and variation in plague natural foci of Marmota sibirica, and to analyze the plague monitoring results from 2004 to 2008. Methods From May to September every year, we monitored plague in Manzhouli, Chenbaerhuqi, Xinbaerhuzuoqi, Xinbaerhuyouqi,Ewenkeqi and Yakeshi city. The monitored area was 20 000 - 40 000 hm2 in every county. The density of Marmota,ground squirrel and moonlighting rats was surveyed by path method, one-day bow-clip method and a clamp was placed every five meters, respectively. The classification and identification of ectoparasite fleas were done by using low power lens. The fleas in the ground squirrel hole were collected by flannel rubber stick, then classified and identified. According to National Standard of Plague Diagnostic Criteria(GB 15991-1995), the collected rats and fleas were detected by isolation and cultured Yersinia pestis, the serums of collected rats were tested by indirect hemagglutination test. Results In five years, the density of Marmota and ground squirrel was 0.010/hm2 and 0.602/hm2, respectively. The capture rate of moonlighting rats was 2.69% (258/9600). The flea infection rate of Marmota was 17.54%(10/57) and the fleas index was 2.54. The fleas infection rate of ground squirrel was 28.40%(213/750) and the fleas index was 1.01. Flea infection rat of ground squirrel hole was 5.60%(46/822) and the fleas index was 0.17. The total number of various hosts of Yersinia pestis detected was 1351, the groups number of the variety of cultured fleas was 127, and the pathogen test results were negative. The number of serum tested was 1064, positive number was 43, and the detection rate was 4.04%(43/1064). The highest positive titer was 1 : 1280. Other than 2006, the remaining four years were found positive for blood clotting material; positive serum was found in a total of three regions, they were Manzhouli, Xinbaerhuzuoqi, and Xinbaerhuyouqi; and 30, 12 and 1 copies of hemagglutination-positive sera were detected. Conclusions The epidemic of plague natural foci of Marmota sibirica is in a active state, and gradually expands the scope. We must continue to strengthen the inspection of the bacteria, bearing in mind the replacement of the region's main host, make every effort to prevent and control of human plague.
