The paper systematically elaborated the concept of corporate governance structure of public hospitals and theories in relation. In addition, it analyzed the status quo and problems existing in corporate governance structure of public hospitals in China, proposing the basic principles and the council model of corporate governance structure. The authors emphasized the following responsibilities and rights of the council, the president, and the board of supervisors in such a framework: 1) As the hospital's highest decision-maker, the council exercises the rights of ownership, playing a decisive role in hospital management; 2) the president is appointed and dismissed by the council, and authorized to run the hospital; 3) the supervisors are responsible for overseeing the council and senior management. In the end, this paper summarized the external environment required for building corporate governance structure of public hospitals.

Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α on glycolysis of human esophageal squamous carcinoma cells and the possible mechanism.Methods TE13 and Eca109 cells were cultured under normal oxygen (20％O2) and hypoxia (1％O2) conditions.The hypoxia was duration 6 hours,12 hours,24 hours and 48 hours.HIF-1α gene was stable silented by RNA interference method and TE13/small interfering HIF cells and Eca109/siHIF cells were obtained.The cell culture condition and time was same as TE13 and Eca109 cells.The changes of HIF-1α expression were detected by Western-blot.The changes of lactic acid concentration in cell culture supernatant were determined by Spectrophotometry.The changes of glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) and lactic dehydrogenase A (LDHA) expression at mRNA level were examined by realtime polymerase chain reaction.The changes of GLUT-1 and LDHA expression at protein level were tested by Western blot.Using t or t' test to analyze the effects of hypoxia duration on HIF-1αexpression at protein level.One-way ANOVA was applied for the difference analysis between the groups.Results In TE13 and Eca109 cells,the HIF-1α expression significantly increased under hypoxia condition and reached the peak at 12 hour (t=6.11,8.31; both P＜0.05).The lactic acid secretion of TE13/siHIF cells and Eca109/siHIF cells was (1.24±0.33) and (1.28±0.37) mmol/L,which significantly decreased when compared with TE13 and Eca109 cells [(3.25±1.34) and (4.91±1.69) mmol/L,t=2.53,3.59,both P＜0.05].The lactic acid secretion of TE13 and Eca109 cells significantly increased after hypoxia [(6.48±1.73) and (8.02± 1.95) mmol/L,t=2.715,2.050,both P＜0.05].There was no significant lactic acid secretion in TE13/siHIF cells and Eca109/siHIF cells after hypoxia (P ＞ 0.05).The expressions of GLUT-1 and LDHA at mRNA level were significantly suppressed in TE13/siHIF cells and Eca109/siHIF cells (normal oxygen:t=6.98,3.92,7.25,3.67,all P＜0.05).The expression of GLUT-1 at protein level remarkably weaked (normal oxygen:t=4.57、16.56,hypoxia:t=6.19、6.09,all P＜0.05),while the expression of LDHA at protein level slightly decreased (P＞0.05).Conclusions The level of glycolysis can be lowered by suppression HIF-1α expression in human esophageal squamous carcinoma cells.The pathway may be involved in the suppression of GLUT-1 and LDHA expression.Except for HIF-1α,there may be other regulating factors in LDHA protein expression at same time.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between serum uric acid and prehypertension and the effects of age,obesity,fasting glucose and lipids in Chinese adults.Methods14,451 non-hypertensive cases from a community-based health examination survey in Xuzhou,Jiangsu province of China were enrolled in this study.Blood pressure,BMI,and determination of fasting glucose,lipids and serum uric acid were measured in all cases.ResultsThe odds ratios ( OR,95％ CI ) of prehypertension across increased serum uric acid after adjusting for age,sex were 1.0,1.20 ( 1.07 - 1.35 ),1.55 ( 1.36 - 1.76),1.82(1.60-2.09),2.33(2.03-2.67) (Pfor trend ＜0.01).The odds ratios were 1.0,1,04(0.92-1.18),1.21(1.06-1.38),1.26(1.09 - 1.45),1.36(1.17 - 1.58),( Pfor trend ＜0.01) after adjusting for age,sex,BMI,glucose,and lipids.In addition,fasting glucose significantly interacted with uric acid ( P for interaction ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Serum uric acid was associated with prehypertension,which might be an independent metabolic risk factor.Fasting glucose may reinforce the associations.

Objective To analyze the differentially expressed genes in esophageal squamons cell carcinoma (ESCC), para-cancerous tissue (PCT) and normal esophagus tissue (NET) using oligomicroarray and to identify the target genes related to the development and progression of esophageal carcinoma. Methods The total RNAs isolated from ESCC, PCT or NET using one step Trizol method were purified and reversely transcribed into cRNAs. The cRNAs were then fluorescence labeled and hybridized with Agilent oligomicroarray (21 074 probes). The fluorescence intensity features were detected by Agilent scanner and quantified by feature extraction software. The selected candidate genes were confirmed by real time real time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR immunohistochemistry andWestern blotting.Results ① The oligomicroarray demonstrated that there were 38 up-regulated genes and 61 down-regulated genes. ② The real time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR revealed that five genes (CTHRC1, INHBA, SPP1 ,LUM, HRK)were more differentially expressed in up-regulated genes. Of which, CTHRC1 displayed more disparity.③ Immunohistochemistry examination showed that the higher expression of CTHRC1 (56.5 %, 26/46) was observed in ESCC. There was significantly difference in expression of CTHRC1 between patients with or without lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). ④ CTHRC1 protein was expressed in both TE-13 and Eca-109 cell lines. Conclusion CTHRC1 is probably one of the most significant biomolecules in ESCC.

Objective To explore the effect of minimally invasive surgery in patients with multiple fractured ribs complicated with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. Methods Clinical data of 48 patients with multiple fractured ribs complicated with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia from January 2010 to January 2016 were retrospective analyzed. All the patients were divided into control group and observation group according to the operation method, 24 cases in each. Patients in control group were treated with thoracotomy, while patients in observation group were treated by video-assisted thoracic surgery. Results The incision length, operative time, blood loss, postoperative thoracic drainage time and hospital stay in the observation group were significantly lower than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Patients with fractured ribs of the two groups were cured after bandage fixation and the observation group were treated with no conversion to thoracotomy. Clinical efficiency of the two groups were 91.67% and 79.16% and the overall complication rate was 8.32% and 37.48% respectively, the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The video-assisted thoracic surgery in treatment of multiple fractured ribs complicated with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia has advantages of less trauma and blood loss during operation, shorter operation time, faster postoperative recovery, and better curative effect, lower incidence of complications. It can be further promoted and used in clinical.

Objective To report a case of toxic epidermal necrolysis associated with geotrichosis due to Geotrichum silvicola. Methods The exudates from the body surface, blood and urine of the patient were examined by microscopy and simultaneously inoculated onto the Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) medium. The isolate was examined by microscopy, PCR which amplified the D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA, and gene sequencing. Homologous sequences were searched in the GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ/PD nucleotide sequence library, and the genetic relationship was analyzed with the genealogical tree. Results Microscopy of pus from the abscess on the dorsa of left hand revealed a lot of spores and a few hyphae, which were not observed in the blood or urine specimens. Meanwhile, whitish colonies were grown in all the three successive cultures of blood and urine specimens, rather than the exudates on the body surface. After itraconazole and garlicin were administered for one week, both microscopic exam and fungus culture were negative. Microscopic exam of the isolate showed arthrospores arranged in chains, budding spores and a few of hyphae. It was found that there was a one-base difference between our isolate (Hebei-1) and the isolate from kerion -like eruptions (Changzheng-1), and a four-base difference between our isolate and the reference Geotrichum silvicola strain as well, in the D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA. This isolate was identified to be most close to Changzheng-1 in the phylogenetic tree. Conclusion The patient with toxic epidermal necrolysis is associated with geotrichosis due to Geotrichum silvicola.

Objective To compare surgical gastrojejunostomy and endoscopic stenting in palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction.Methods This retrospective study investigated patients treated for malignant gastric outlet obstruction from January 2007 to January 2014 in the first affiliated hospital of Nanjing Medical University.Endoscopic stenting was placed in 29 patients and surgical gastrojejunostomy was performed in 42 patients.The outcomes assessed included diet scores,time to diet,length of hospital stay,treatments fees and complications.Results Both endoscopic stenting and surgical gastrojejunostomy can relieve patients' syndrome with significant higher GOOSS score compared with that before treatment (P ＜0.05),but score improves faster in stenting group.Clinical success for endoscopic stenting and surgical gastrojejunostomy was 96.6％ and 92.9％ respectively,and technical success was 100％ for both of them.Endoscopic stenting group was found to have lower early complication rate(3.4％ VS 23.8％,P ＜0.05),higher late complication rate(24.1％ VS 6.9％,P ＜0.05),less time to diet,hospital stay and treatment fees(all P value ＜ 0.05)than surgical gastrojejunostomy group.The major complication after endoscopic stenting is re-obstruction while it is infection and leak of anastomotic site for surgical group.There were no significant differences in complication between two groups (27.6％ VS 11.9％,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Both endoscopic stenting and surgical gastrojejunostomy can relieve patients' syndrome effectively and safely,but endoscopic stenting improves GOOSS scores more rapid with less time to diet,less early complication rate and easy-dealing late complications,also it needs less hospital stay and fees.It's a better choice for patients with less survival expectation.

Objective To investigate the changes of hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF)-1α and hexokinase-Ⅱ(HK-Ⅱ)expression in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and its effect in glycolysis.Methods TE13 cells and Eca109 cells were cultured under hypoxic condition(1 ％O2)for different hypoxic time(6,12,24 and 48 hours).Cells cultured under normal oxygen condition(20％O2)were set as control.The changes of HIF-1α and HK-Ⅱ expressions at protein level were detected by Western blot.HIF-1α genes were specifically silenced with RNA interference technology(RNAi),and then the changes of HIF-1α and HK-Ⅱ expression were determined by realtime PCR and Western blot.Under normal oxygen and hypoxic condition,the changes of lactic acid concentration in cell culture medium were detected by spectrophotometric method.Results Under hypoxic condition,the expression of HIF-1α and HK-Ⅱ gradually increased as hypoxic time extended(P＜0.05),reached a peak at 12h and then gradually decreased as time extended.Compared with that under normal oxygen condition,the expression of HK-Ⅱ in TE13 cells and Eca109 cells significantly increased under hypoxic condition(P＜0.05),which was more significant after 12 hours hypoxia.The result of realtime PCR indicated that under normal oxygen condition the expression of HIF-1α at RNA level in TE13/shRNA cells and Eca109/shRNA cells significantly decreased compared with TE13 cells and Eca109 cells without interference(P＜0.05).The expression of HK-Ⅱ at RNA level was consistent with the result of HIF-1α.Under normal and hypoxia condition,the expression of HK-Ⅱ at protein level in TE13/shRNA cells and Eca109/shRNA cells significantly decreased compared with TE13 cells and Eca109 cells without interference,and the difference was statistic significant(P＜0.05).The lactic acid secretion of TE13 cells and Eca109 cells under hypoxia condition(14.707 ± 3.594 and 15.062 ±3.901)was higher than that under normal oxygen condition(6.070±1.839 and 6.891±1.592,P＜0.05).The lactic acid secretion of TE13/shRNA cells and Eca109/shRNA cells significantly decreased compared with TE13 cells and Eca109 cells without interference,and the difference was statistic significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expressions of HIF-1α and HK-Ⅱ in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma significantly increased under hypoxia conditions.The expression of HK-Ⅱ is closely correlated with lactic acid concentration and HIF-1α expression.HIF-1α may affect cell glycolysis through HK-Ⅱ.
