The systematic position of Fritillaria hupehensis has been in dispute. Phylogentic analyses were conducted on sequences of ITS, rpl16, matK sequences for species of F. hupehensis and allies. Lilium davidii was designed as outgroup. The analyses were performed using MP and ML methods. Conclusions could be achieved as follow. The topologies of MP and ML are consistent. The samples of F. hepehensis from different places form a supported clade with a strong bootstrap. And then form a strongly supported clade with F. anhuiensis, F. monantha. The results suggests that although F. hupehensis has a closet relation with the two ones, it exists some difference.

BACKGROUND: Preliminary study has proven that adult human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) suppress peripheral blood lymphocytes proliferation.But the mechanism was still to be investigated.OBJECTIVE: To study the negatively regulatory effect of adult human MSCs on allogeneic lymphocyte proliferation by cell-free condition.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: Cytological observation in vitro,which was performed in the Lanzhou General Hospital,Lanzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA between October 2005 and December 2007.MATERIALS: The bone marrow sample was provided by the allo-transplantation donor.The peripheral blood lymphocytes were provided by the healthy volunteer.METHODS: Adult human MSCs were separated with Percoll + adherence method.Allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocytes were obtained from healthy donors with Ficoll solution and the cell concentration was adjusted as 2×109/L for use.100μ L MSCs culture supernatant was taken out in 96-well plates.The groups were following: A superuatant + 3-day MSCs culture media (100 μ L/well); B superuatant + phytohemagglutini (PHA; 1 g/L,5 μ L); C medium + LG-DMEM culture media containing 10% fetal bovine serum (100 μ L); D medium + PHA (1 g/L,5 μ L).The cells were incubated at 37 ℃ with 5% CO2 in a fully humidified atmosphere for three days.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effect of MSCs supematant on proliferation and transformation of variant lymphocytes.RESULTS: Peripheral blood lymphocytes proliferation was suppressed as compared with the blank control group and PHA group after MSCs culture,and the inhibition ratio was 9.00% (P ＜ 0.05).When lymphocytes were stimulated by PHA,the suppression effects were even stronger and the inhibition ratio was 20.91% (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Adult human MSCs supernatant can suppress peripheral blood lymphocytes proliferation and transformation; furthermore,PHA can enhance the inhibitory effect,suggesting the negative regulation is at least in part due to indirectly inhibiting lymphocytes via soluble cytokines.

BACKGROUNDMedical consortium is a specific vertical integration model of regional medical resources. To improve medical resources utilization and control the health insurance costs by fee-for-service plans (FFS), capitation fee and diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), it is important to explore the attitudes of doctors towards the different health insurance payment in the medical consortium in Shanghai.

METHODSA questionnaire survey was carried out randomly on 50 doctors respectively in 3 different levels medical institutes.

RESULTSThe statistical results showed that 90% of doctors in tertiary hospitals had the tendency towards FFS, whereas 78% in secondary hospitals towards DRGs and 84% in community health centers towards capitation fee.

CONCLUSIONSThere are some obvious differences on doctors' attitudes towards health insurance payment in 3 different levels hospitals. Thus, it is feasible that health insurance payment should be supposed to the doctors' attitudes using the bundled payments along with the third-party payment as a supervisor within consortium.
