Objective To describe and analyze the distribution of medical expenditure of Liaoning province in 2014 in terms of population beneficiary based on the System of Health Accounts 2011(SHA 2011).Methods By means of multistage and stratified sampling, a total of 252 medical institutions were selected from four cities in Liaoning province according to their economic status and geographical distribution.Macro data including the outpatient income and hospitalization income were taken into account, to calculate the beneficiary population of the province in 2014 according to SHA2011.Results GBD classification found that the highest medical expenditure category was non-communicable diseases, accounting for 63.02% in total medical expenditure.ICD classification found that respiratory disease as consuming the highest medical expenses (43.76%).The average medical expenditure of the elderly population was the highest per person, up to 3 041.70 yuan per person.Conclusions Medical expenses of non-communicable diseases, respiratory disease and elderly population were still high.Thus we need to emphasize disease prevention, and take efficient measures against such key diseases to curb the medical expenses.The elderly population calls for specific and effective measures to reduce their medical expenses.

Objective To evaluate the effect and the anti-tumor mechanism of nucleoside combination on human hepatoma cell line Bel-7402 with Arg-Gly-Asp sequence labeled by ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (RGD-USPIO).Methods The tumor cells Bel-7402 of logarithmic phlyhase were divided into experimental group and control group,treated with 1 mmol/L nucleoside combination and 1640 medium respectively.The two group were co-cultured for 48 h,and were added RGD-USPIO and co-cultured for 6 h.Then the two groups were proceeded with MR scanning,and the signal intensity of T2WI were measured.After extraction of the total RNA and protein of experiment group and control group,the expression of integrin avβ3 was detected using real-time PCR and Western blot.Results The T2WI signal intensity of experimental group (997.35±42.83) was higher than that of control group (241.05±15.36,t 28.79,P＜0.01).Compared with control group,the expression of integrin αvβ3 mRNA in experimental group was (0.22±0.02) times (t=4.50,P＜0.01).According to Western blot,the protein bands of experimental group were relatively lighter than that of control group,the expression of integrin αvβ3 in experimental group was lower (t =11.88,P＜0.01).Conclusion Nucleoside combination has anti-tumor effect by inhibiting integrin ligand-receptor binding,and the anti tumor mechanism may be related to the induction of tumor cell apoptosis.MR molecular probes can conveniently and accurately evaluate the anti-tumor effect of nucleoside combination on Bel-7402 cells.

To investigate the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for di-agnosing low choledochal joint and its complications. MRCP results of 29 low choledochal joint patients con-firmed were analyzed retrospectively, and then compared with those by endoscopic retrograde cholaniopancreatography (ERCP). MRCP could display clearly the location of low choledochal joint, and the patients with complications involved 4 ones with cholecystolithiasis, 5 ones with cholangiolithiasis, 15 ones with cholecystolithiasis and cholangiolithi-asis, 3 ones with Mirizz syndrome, 2 ones with pancreatitis, 1 case with carcinoma of head of pancreas after cholecystec-tomy and 1 case of Vater ampullary carcinoma. Interoperative and ERCP findings proved that MRCP could be used for the diagnosis of low choledochal joint and its complications with no missed diagnosis. MRCP can be involved for the diagnosis of low choledochal joint and its complications, and thus can be used for preoperative planning and treat-ment of the complications.

AIM: To investigate the effect of CD_8+ cells from aplastic anemia (AA) patients and its histamine type II (H_2) receptors on the growth of normal CFU-Mk. METHODS: The effects of CD_8+ cells and/or cimetidine, on normal human CFU-Mk growth were studied by using CFU-Mk assay. RESULTS: The CD_8+ cells from the perpheral blood of AA patients significantly suppressed the growth of normal allogeneic CFU-Mk. This inhibitory effect was blocked by cimetidine at concentration of 1.0?10~-5 mol/L. 1.0?10~-5 mol/L cimitidine alone didn't inhibit the growth of normal CFU-Mk. CONCLUSION: H_2 receptor antagonist cimitidine abolishes the suppressive effect of AA patients CD_8+ cells on the growth of normal CFU-Mk.

Objective To measure serum ghrelin level in elderly Chinese, and investigate the relationship of the serum ghrelin level with age, obesity and other metabolic disorders. Methods A total of 109 men aged over 60 years without history of smoking and alcohol consumption from health examination were enrolled in this study. Subjects were excluded if they had serious diabetic complications, coronary artery disease and hepatic or renal dysfunction. A cross sectional study was made on ghrelin level and the correlated metabolic disorders. Results Compared with ghrelin level in subjects with normal BMI [(823. 57±410.40) ng/L], the ghrelin level was significantly decreased in overweight and obese elderly male, [(442.42 ± 171.10) ng/L and (434.64 ± 177.65) ng/L respectively]. ghrelin was significantly lower in subjects with three or more metabolic disorders (420.84±165.91) ng/L than in those with less disorder. Single factor analysis showed ghrelin was inversely associated with BMI, TG and uric acid (r=-0.359,-0.243,-0.189), but it was not associated with age, blood pressure, fasting glucose and insulin levels. Multivariate analysis revealed only BMI significantly affected the level of ghrelin (β =-0.386). Conclusions BMI is closely associated with ghrelin in elderly male,ghrelin is significantly lower with increased number of metabolic disorders.
