With the further expansion of the connotations of the quality of medical services and the establishment of the bio psycho social medical model, it has become necessary to redefine quality evaluation of medical services. The authors give their interpretation of the quality of medical services and its evaluation from several perspectives, discuss the goals of quality evaluation of medical services, and expound in a rational manner the entire process and content of quality evaluation. On the basis of this, they make a comment on previous quality evaluation units and methods and put forward the tentative idea of conducting overall quality evaluation of whole process medical services.

Tongxie Yaofang is a classic formula in the treatment of diarrhea caused by liver wood restricts earth, but the clinical application is not confined to diarrhea with pain. According to TCM thought of treating different diseases with the same method, it can also be used for the treatment of constipation caused by liver and spleen discord. Combining modern study and linking clinic, this article discussed the mechanism of this formula for the treatment of constipation, with a purpose to inspire thought and expand its clinical application range.

Objective To determine the expression of cathepsin D (CD), cathepsin H (CH) and cathepsin L (CL) in human primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to investigate their mechanisms. Methods The protein expression of CD, CH and CL in hepatic specimens consisted of control (n = 17), HCC (n = 37) and paracancerous (n = 28) tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relative values of CD, CH and CL protein expression were examined with absorbent density analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS11. 5 software. The univariate analysis was used to compare the difference among groups. Results The mean absorbance of CD, CH and CL proteins in HCC tissues (1.21± 0.33, 0. 89 ± 0.22 and 1.16± 0. 25, respectively) were significantly higher in comparison with those in control tissues (0. 19 ± 0. 07, 0. 24 ± 0. 12 and 0. 28 ± 0. 14,respectively) and in paracancerous tissues (0.27±0.13,0. 31± 0.14 and 0. 36±0.15)(all P values =0.0001). Whereas there was no difference between control and paracancerous tissues with respect to CD, CH and CL proteins (P ＞0. 05). Three proteins immunohistochemically appeared as a lot of diffused spots and stripes staining in cytoplasma of HCC tissues,but only a few scatted spots staining was found in control and paracancerous tissues. Conclusion The high expression of CD, CH and CL protein in primary HCC may be important markers for carcinogenesis and malignant progress.

Aim To discover specific telomerase inhibitors by high-throughput screening in the more than 2 000 strains of actinomycetes fermentation broth.Methods After verifying the three kinds of screening models for telomerase inhibitor by yeast PCR,the three yeast strains were inoculated overnight into yeast liquid culture which was lacking in histidine and contained 3-AT.Then concentration of yeast strains in culture liquid and dosage of screening sample were regulated for better adjustment to the high-throughput screening.At last the adjusted liquid culture containing yeast strain piped to 96-well plates,drug samples and control article were also added,then the yeast was incubated in the thermostat oscillator.At the same time OD_(595nm) of the yeast liquid was measured every 12 h by using Multifunctional Microplate Analyzer,and the samples whose inhibitory efficiency was over 0.45 were selected for secondary screening.Results The high-throughput screening method related to yeast three-hybrid system was effective in screening samples that had potential telomerase inhibitory ability.The initial concentration of yeast liquid OD_(595nm) was 0.04 and the best dosage of samples was 5 ml.14 active samples,whose inhibitory efficiency was over 0.45,were founded after primary and secondary screening.Conclusions High-throughput screening method related to yeast three-hybrid system is simple and stable in discovering telomerase inhibitors,and 14 new antitumor compounds are identified,which lays the foundation in the development of new anti-tumor agents.

Objective To study the relationship between radiation gastritis ( RG ) caused by esophageal cancer radical postoperative prophylactic IMRT and the dose of gastric. Methods A total of 49 esophageal cancer patients received postoperative adjuvant radiatherapy after esophagectomy, we analysised the dose?volume histogram of treatment plan and the the occurrence of RG, To analysis those physical indicators may be related to the occurrence of RG. The of ROC curve to analysis the physical index of the occurrence of acute radiation gastritis, Chi square test is compared between groups, Logistic method was used to multivariate analysis. Results The whole group, a total of 19 cases ( 39%) patients with symptoms of acute RG level 2 or higher. The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the physical variables associated with the occurrence of RG include stomach Max,stomach Mean,LSTT5?LSTT40 and V5?V50.According to the ROC curve,the cutoff values of the physical parameters of the patients were grouped. The incidence of acute≥2RG in the group of above boundary value patients significantly higher than below boundary value group, the physical index of the differences between groups were significant (P=0. 000?0. 022),except V5.The results of Logistic multivariate analysis showed that LSTT5 and V40 were independent predictor of≥2 RG (P=0. 026,0. 001). Conclusions According to the results of this study,We should pay attention to the protection of the stomach in develop a treatment plan for the prevention of postoperative patients with esophageal cancer,dose?volume histogram can well predict the occurrence of RG. Stomach LSTT5 and V40 were independent predictor of≥2 RG.The results of this study need to be further studied.

Objective To explore the association of Crohn's disease (CD) with T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (Tim-3) gene polymorphisms in patients of Zhejiang Han population in China.Methods A total of 308 CD patients and 573 age-and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled in our study.Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Tim-3 (rs1036199 and rs10515746) were examined by the improved multiple ligase detection reaction technique (iMLDR).Analyses of linkage disequilibrium and haplotype were also performed by Haploview 4.2 software in all study subjects.Results In general,the allele and genotype frequencies of Tim-3 (rs1036199 and rs10515746) were not statistically different between CD patients and the controls (all P ＞0.05).According to the Montreal Classification,CD patients were divided into different subgroups.The variant allele (C) and genotype (AC + CC) of rs1036199 were more frequent in CD patients with penetrating diseases than in the controls (10.4％ vs 1.7％,P =0.002;20.8％ vs 3.5％,P =0.023).Similar conclusions were also drawn for the variant allele (A) and genotype (CA + AA) of rs10515746 in patients with penetrating diseases when compared with the controls (10.4％ vs 2.2％,P =0.000;20.8％ vs 4.2％,P =0.033,respectively).The two SNPs of Tim-3 were in strong linkage disequilibrium (D'=1.0,r2 =0.928).The haplotype (AC) formed by their wild-type alleles (A) and (C) was decreased in patients with penetrating CD compared with the controls (89.6％ vs 98.3％,P =0.000).However,the haplotype (CA) formed by their variant alleles was more frequent in patients with penetrating CD than in the controls (10.4％ vs 1.6％,P =0.000).Conclusions Tim-3 (rs1036199 and rs10515746) variations might be correlated with the enhanced risk of penetrating diseases in CD patients.Furthermore,the haplotype (AC) and (CA) formed by the two SNPs might be a protective and a risky factor for penetrating CD respectively.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between serum tissue inhibitors of metaUoproteinase-1 and children with myocarditis,and provide evidences to support the measurement of serum tissue inhibitors of metallopro- teinase-1. Methods Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinaee-1 and bioehem indexes of the harvested specimens and e -chocardiogram were measured from children with myocarditis(age: 1～14 years old, n = 9) and healthy young chil- dren(age: 1～14 years old, n = 9). Results Children with myocarditis showed reduced ejection fraction and dilated left ventricular compared with healthy children. Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinaee-1 in children with myocarditis was significantly reduced compared with healthy children. Aspartie acid transanainase, lactate dehydrogenase,creatine kinase, hydroxybutyrie acid dehydrogenase, MB isoenzyrne of creatine kinase, cardiac troponin Ⅰ , C reactive protein showed no difference between two groups. Conclusion The reduced serum level of tissue inhibitors of metallopro- teinase-1 may show the severity of children with myocarditis and maybe one of the mechanisms of children with di- lated cardiomyopathy following myocarditis.

Objectives The present study aimed to investigate the associations between genetic polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( MTHFR) G1793A, plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels, vitamin status and ulcerative colitis ( UC) in a cohort of patients in Hubei Han nationality. Methods Two hundred and ninty-nine UC patients and 764 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited in this study. Polymorphism of MTHFR G1793A was examined using a PCR-RELP method.Plasma levels of Hcy, folate and vitamin B12 were determined by enzymatic cycling assay and corpuscle immune chemiluminescence assay, respectively.Results Both variant allele and genotype frequencies in MTHFR G1793A gene were significantly higher in the UC patients compared to the controls (22.24% vs 14.20% , P<0.001 ;42.81% vs 26.97%, P < 0.001, respectively).Plasma Hcy levels were increased in UC patients compared to the controls [(20.67 ±6.42)mmol/L vs (13.21 ±5.11)mmol/L, P <0.001] while folate and vitamin B12 concentrations were significantly decreased [(11.37±6.34) nmol/L vs (14.89±7.21) nmol/L, P < 0.001; (324.15±127.53 ) pmol/L vs (421.54±128.45 ) pmol/L, P < 0.001, respectively].Furthermore, hyperhomocysteinaemia (HHcy) and folate deficiency were also more prevalent in the UC patients (32.44% vs 25.78% , P = 0.029; 23.41% vs 17.01%, P =0.016, respectively).Conclusions Genetic polymorphism of MTHFR G1793A Wag strongly associated with UC.HHcy,folate deficiency and low vitamin B12 concentration were common phenomena in the UC patients of Hubei Han nationality.Our findings demonstrate that the genes relmed to Hey metabolism may play an important role in the pathogenesis of UC.
