Objective To observe the effects of the Ossatron high-energy shock waves on bone nonunion and delayed union.Methods Between October 2004 and October 2005,18 patients with nonunion and four patients with delayed union were treated with high-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy(Ossatron,HMT Co., Swiss).Facture lines were located with C-arm X-ray before treatment.Parameters of shock waves were decided according to fracture sites.Patients with unstable fixation received plaster or bracing for 6 to 8 weeks after treatment. After therapy,follow-up radiography was performed at 6 and 12 weeks and monthly afterwards until the fracture united. Results The mean follow-up was 6.7 months(range,3 to 12 months).There were no complications except local petechial hemorrhage and local swelling in 10 patients.Thirteen patients(59.1%)got bony union,including 12 patients(66.7% )with stable internal fixation,and the average healing time was 4.3 months(range,6 weeks to 6 months).Nine fractures(40.9%)still suffered nonunion.Conclusion High-energy shock waves are a good alternative therapy for nonunion and delayed union,with obvious advantages of being non-invasive and safe.

Objective To explore the expression of tyrosine phosphatase containing c-Src homology SH2 (SHP-2) in condyloma acuminatum. Methods Phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 were detected in skin lesions of 30 patients with condyloma acuminatum, tumor tissues of 13 cases of cervical cancer and normal foreskin tissues of 11 normal controls by SP immunohistochemical stain. Results In the foreskin tissue, the phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 were mainly expressed on the nuclei of kerotinocytes adjacent to the basal layer, and the number of cells with positive expression was not so many. In condyloma acuminatum, the positive cells arranged in patches, phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 distributed in the cytoplasm. In cervical cancer, the expression of phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 were mainly in the cytoplasm, diffusely distributed, and not in the nuclei. The positive expression rates of phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 in condyloma acuminatum and cervical cancer were 96.67% (29/30) and 100% (13/13), respectively. However the cytoplasm of normal foreskin showed negative expression(0/11). Conclusions There is an aberrant activation of phosphorylated tyrosine and SHP-2 in condyloma acuminatum and cervical cancer. SHP-2 may play an important role in the carcinogenesis.

Objective:To analyze the implementation and effectiveness of primary health care reform in Feixi county, Anhui province. Methods: This paper uses data analysis of interviews with key insiders, policy documents and archives, as well as institutional questionnaire survey and other methods to collect information, and then it com-bines qualitative and quantitative research to arrive at research findings through cross-analysis and interpretation. Re-sults:From 2010 to 2014, the reform enhanced the capacity of primary health care in four main aspects, including capacity building of primary health care personnel, network construction of primary health care system, improvement of working conditions, and system construction of institutional management. Accordingly, the human capacity of pri-mary health care personnel was improved, their enthusiasm for work increased, their income was raised, the working conditions were improved, the cooperation mechanism for vertical and horizontal health care services was established, and the consultation rate and primary health care utilization in Feixi county increased. Conclusion:Both the“bottom-up” exploration approach and “from point to area” implementation strategy adopted by Feixi county have not only been the core content of primary health care system’s comprehensive reform, but also effectively leveraged the other aspects of the reform. They have played an important role in deepening medical reform and establishing institutional mechanism of health care system.

The fragmentation of health care system within a county and serious capacity constraints of health-care services in township health centers are generally the most significant problems facing underdeveloped counties in western China. Under constraints of limited public financial resources, how to increase service capability of township health centers and improve service quality, continuity and convenience of health care system has become one of the most severe challenges in implementing China’s county health care system reform. This paper takes Huangzhong coun-ty, Qinghai province as a case study. It investigates how the locals use health care alliance to vertically integrate county health care resources during reform implementation, analyzes various aspects of reform measures and the corre-sponding structural characteristics such as the integration of administrative management, integration of human re-sources, dual diagnosis referral, interoperability of information systems, sharing of resources and test results, etc. , and provides similar China’s counties with a case study to be used for reference.

Objective:After examining the changes in medical expenses and flows of hospitalized patients with-in and outside the county under the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme ( NRCMS ) before and after the imple-mentation of health care alliance reform, this paper analyzes the impacts of health care alliance reform on the visiting rate of NRCMS patients within the county and explores their causes and channels. Methods:This paper uses the hos-pitalization data of NRCMS patients in 2013 and 2014 collected from Huangzhong county Qinghai province and inter-views with key informants and analyzes the hospitalization expenses, visiting flows and other indicators of patients. Results:After starting health care alliance reform, the total number of hospitalized patients to seek treatment outside the county decreased by 6 . 38%, the total hospitalization expenses to seek treatment outside the county decreased by 22 . 13%, and the hospitalization expenses per inpatient day to seek treatment within and outside the county increased by 14. 41% and 20. 69% respectively. Conclusions: By improving service capabilities of township health centers and increasing synergies between county-township-village health institutions, the county health care alliance reform has suc-cessfully enhanced the service capabilities of health care systems in the whole county and reasonably helped patients with common diseases to be hospitalized outside the county and frequently hospitalized people to return back to the county.
