Objective To explore whether health examination save medical insurance fund or not. Methods To observe the sparing medical cost which 371 health examination people avoid repeated checking and shorten the length of stay during hospitalization from March 2006 to March 2007. To observe the effect of sparing medical cost because of regular health examination, early discovery diseases, pretreatment promptly and avoidance transforming to advanced diseases. Results Because of avoiding repeated checking and shortening the length of stay,everybody save the medical cost about 570 yuan,371 people can save about 21 ten thousands yuan. To statistics the average hospital cost of different courses of eight common diseases and malignant tumors from January to November at 2007, we discovered that the medical cost is large distinction between the earlier period and advanced stage of disease. For example: the medical cost of one stage of hypertension is 6608 yuan ,the two stage is 8838 yuan ,the three stage is 13 869 yuan, and the stage of hypertensive heart disease is 13 033 yuan. Parts of health examination crowd who stay at my hospital from 1996 were visited for five years ,we conformed many chronic diseases by prompt intervention can relieve and even reverse, avoiding the transformation to incurable disease which will consume a large number of strength and money. Conclusion Health examination resource is a medical treatment resource which isn't restricted by social security fund, the utilization can not only save medical cost but also discover and treat diseases earlier, thus we can save the strength and money before the advanced diseases.

Objective To evaluate the effects of preoperative sleep disturbance on the consumption of propofol during the period of general anesthesia and postoperative sleep quality.Methods Sixty-five patients scheduled for elective thyroidectomy surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled in the study.According to the preoperative Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score,the patients were divided into sleep normal group (n =33) and sleep disorder group (n =32).Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol given by closed-loop target-controlled infusion (CLTCI).The consumption of propofol during the period of general anesthesia,postoperative sleep quality in the evening of surgery and at 24 h after operation,and the painful levels of the patients at 1 d and 2 d after operation were compared between two groups.Results The totalconsumption of propofol in sleep disorder group [(1 024.33 ±213.02)mg] was more than that in sleep normal group [(892.25 ± 242.30) mg] (P ＜ 0.05),and the dosage of unit surface area per minute of propofol in sleep disorder group [(4.94 ± 0.80) mg/(min · m2)] was also more than that in sleep normal group [(4.45 ± 0.96) mg/(min · m2)] (P ＜ 0.05).Each group suffered from bad sleep quality in the evening of operation,and got improvement one day later (P ＜ 0.05).The sleep quality in sleep disorder group was improved after general anesthesia (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Preoperative sleep disturbance increased the consumption of propofol in the general anesthesia.General anesthesia can improve the sleep quality of the patients who suffered from sleep disorder.

Health management is developing very fast as a new subject.The ethical problem in which there is rare in reports.Discussion about the ethical problems appears in health management and health examination,such as privacy protection,sex morality,excess service,healthy morality,humanities concern,cooperation between each section and so on,has a important actual significance.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of cardiac troponin I(cTnI) in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemic injury.Methods Twenty patients were randomly divided into two groups: group I (cold crystalloid cardioplegia, n=10) and group Ⅱ (cold blood cardioplegia, n=10). The central venous blood samples were taken at various times during perioperation to measure the serum levels of cTnI,CK MB and CK . Myocardial samples were obtained 10 min before aorta clamping and 30 min after aotra unclamping, to observe myocardial ultrastructure .Results cTnI,CK and CK MB levels were normal before operation, increased markablely following aotra unclamping ,reached the peak 1 h after aorta unclamping to 24 h after operation, and decreased progressively to be normal in two groups. The serum cTnI level was significantly lower in group Ⅱ than that in group Ⅰ 24 h and 48 h after operation. The serum CK MB activity was lower in group Ⅱ than that in group Ⅰ 1 h after aorta unclamping. There was positive significant correlation between aorta cross clamping time and cTnI peak level.Conclusions cTnI can be used to evaluate the degree of myocardial injury and myocardial protective effect in open heart surgery during CPB. As indicators for reflecting the myocardial injury, the sensitivity and specificity of cTnI are more valuable than those of myocardial enzymes.

Objective To explore the clinical value of combined detection of antiperinuclear fac-tor (APF) ,anti-RA keratin antibody (AKA) and anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP) in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Totally 119 RA pa-tients,101 non-RA rheumatisants and 39 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to quantitately detecting anti-CCP antibody; immunofluo-rescence method was applied to quantitately determining AKA and APF. Then the quadruple tabular form was used to calculate the sensitivity and specificity. Results In RA group,the sensitivity of APF, AKA and anti-CCP antibody was 48.8% ,32.3% and 83.5% respectively; the specificity was 92. 2%, 93. 1% and 94.1 % respectively. Conclusion Three autoantibodies,including APF,AKA and anti-CCP antibody have high specificity in early diagnosis of RA. Combined detection of the three antibodies con-tributes to diagnosis and differential diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

BACKGROUND: The discrepancies of the ideal self and the actual self (called as type A in this article), the objective self and the actual self(called as type B), the looking glass-self and the actual self(called as type C) are important study subjects and closely related to health psychology.OBJECTIVE: To probe into relationships between the discrepancies of type A, B, C self-concepts and mental health about Chinese college students, and try to provide scientific basis for mental health education of college students.DESIGN: Sampling investigation and cross-sectional study design based on the college student SETTING: Department of Psychology of Capital Normal University. PARTICIPANTS: From January to March 2002, in Beijing, we randomly chose 337 undergraduates who were of grade 2-3 from 9 classes in China University of Political Science and Law University(97 students), Universityof Petroleum, Beijing(85 students), China Public Security University(103students) and Capital Normal University(52 students). In Shanghai, Shanghai University(150 students from 7 classes in grade 2): In Changchun, Northeast Normal University(120 students from 4 classes in grade 1 -2).The total of participants were 607, but 51 participants were excluded for all kinds of reasons, at last, 556 valid participants took part in this study.METHODS: The self-concept-scale questionnaires was used for this study,including four subscales of the ideal self, the actual self, the object self and the looking-glass-self which were used to measure Chinese undergraduates'self-concept-discrepancies of A, B and C types; symptom checklist-90 scale (called SCL-90) was used to measure undergraduates' mental health. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The self-concept-discrepancies of three types(A, B, C), mental health and their relationships of Chinese college students. RESULTS: ① The descriptive statistics about the discrepancies of self-concepts of three types(A, B, C) of college students: type A (65.0±39.2)discrepancy was bigger than type B(-30.1± 28.2); type B was bigger than type C (-0.11± 24.7); ② Compared to the adult normal of symptom checklist-90(SCL-90), the college students responded to SCL-90 was normai, showing majority of college students were mental healthy; ③ Type A and B discrepancies of college students significantly correlated with 10 factors of SCL-90(P＜0.01), whereas the correlation between type C discrepancy and 10 factors of SCL-90 was not significant; ④ Regression analyses predicting SCL-90 showed that A type(β=0.32) discrepancy contributing to SCL-90 was more bigger than type B (β= 0.24), type B was more bigger than type C (β= -0.14).CONCLUSION: The correlation of the discrepancies of the ideal self and the actual self, the discrepancies of the objective self and the actual self withmental health were statistically significant; but the correlationof the discrepancy of the looking-glass-self and the actual self with mental health was not statistically significant.
