The establishment of a scientific salary system is a key measure to improve the incentive and re-straint mechanisms, adjust and optimize the relations of the production, release the reform “bonus”, and is also an important health care reform today. In order to establish a scientific salary system of medical personnel adapting to the health industry characteristics, the paper makes an investigation on the salary level in the years of 2010—2012 in Shanghai, and analyzes the main problems of the present performance pay policy. On this basis, starting from the point of the health industry characteristics, the paper builds the salary system of medical personnel containing the comprehensive budget management, theoretical workload for approval, authorized personnel, performance appraisal and distribution, structural proportion within the industry, fund distribution management through the establishment of the salary level’s average wage and social linkage mechanism, and builds a theoretical framework on salary system of medical personnel in Shanghai.

Objective To study the relation between alcohol-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head (AIONFH) related with high morbidity TCM constitution type with CYP2C8 gene polymorphisms.Methods Totally 152 Han nationality NONFH cases from Feburary 2014 to September 2015 from outpatient and the inpatient departments in Gansu Province Hospital of TCM were collected. 50 AIONFH cases were set as medical case group; meanwhile, 45 healthy volunteers were enrolled as control group. Database for medical materials of all patients and volunteers was established. TCM distribution for AIONFH patients was determined. Solution DNA extraction kit was used to extract DNA, and detect the concentration and purity of DNA. The target gene was amplified by PCR and the target gene was amplified by gel electrophoresis. The length of the fragment was confirmed to conduct target gene sequencing. With the results of sequencing and gel electrophoresis, the relation of AIONFH with CYP2C8 gene polymorphism in AIONFH patients with phlegm-dampness syndrome and the control group.ResultsThe CYP2C8 gene loci rs17110453 gene polymorphism was not statistically significant between the two groups (χ2=0.253,P>0.05). There was no significant difference in allele between the two groups (χ2=0.077,P>0.05). The risk of disease in CC genotype was 1.37 times higher than the AA genotype (95%CI: 0.339-5.540), without statistical significance (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in genotype and allele distribution between AIONFH patients with phlegm-dampness and non-phlegm-dampness and the control group (P>0.05).Conclusion CYP2C8 gene loci rs17110453 gene polymorphism A/C mutation has no obvious relation with AIONFH risk. There is no clear relationship between CYP2C8 gene loci rs17110453 gene polymorphism with AIONFH.

During the course of standardized residents training,the performance appraisal management of the residents was used besides other regular management methods.The allowances of residents were decided monthly by the evaluation and assessment of many kinds of tests or examinations.Through this new measure,the learning enthusiasm of residents could be fully motivated.The authoritative effectiveness of management was enhanced enormously.Meanwhile,the quality of the educational and training has also been improved greatly.This method could be very useful for the training process.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the significance of NADPH quinine oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) protein overexpression on prognostic evaluation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
METHODSNQO1 protein was detected in 162 of HNSCC, 45 cases of adjacent nontumor tissues and 26 samples of normal head and neck epithelia using EnVision immunohistochemical. Correlation between NQO1 overexpression and patients prognosis was also analyzed.
RESULTSThe positive rate and strongly positive rate of NQO1 protein were 84.0% (136/162) and 69.8% (113/162) in HNSCC, respectively, and both of which were significantly higher than either those in adjacent nontumor tissues and normal head and neck epithelia (both P < 0.01). NQO1 expression was significantly correlated with the clinical stage, pT and chemoradiotherapy of HNSCC (P < 0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that overall survival and disease-free survival rates were significantly higher in HNSCC patients with high level NQO1 expression than that those with low level of NQO1 expression (Log-rank = 6.625 , P = 0.010;Log-rank = 6.234 , P = 0.013). Additional analysis by Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that high level of NQO1 expression was an independent hazard predictor for overall survival of patients with HNSCC (Wald = 6.626, P = 0.008).
CONCLUSIONSNQO1 expression level is closely correlated with the progression and prognosis of patients with HNSCC. High level of NQO1 expression may be used as an important indicator for patients with poor prognostic HNSCC.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy and safety of crizotinib in the treatment of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive advanced lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS: From Aug. 2015 to May 2017, 72 patients with ALK positive advanced lung adenocarcinoma were selected from our hospital. According to the simple random method, the patients were divided into control group and observation group, with 36 patients in each group. The control group was given Pemetrexed disodium for injection 500 mg/m2,d1, ivgtt+ Cisplatin for injection 75 mg/m2,d1-3,ivgtt; Dexamethasone acetate tablets 0.75 mg were given orally one day before administration, once in the morning and again in the evening; 7 days before administration, Folic acid tablets 0.4 mg were given orally till 21 days after the last administration of cisplatin; Vitamin B12 1 mg injection was injected intramuscularly every 3 weeks after intramuscular injection of cisplatin. Isotonic Glucose injection 100 g was intravenously dripped 1 day before medication; on the day of chemotherapy, isotonic Sodium chloride injection or Glucose injection was infused intravenously for 3 000-3 500 mL; at the same time, Potassium chloride injection 0.5 g, Mannitol injection 50 g, Furosemide injection 20 mg were given to ensure daily urine volume of 2 000-3 000 mL; a treatment course lasted for 21 d, and there were 2 courses in total. Observation group was additionally given Crizotinib capsules 250 mg orally, once at 7:00 in the morning and evening, swallowing whole capsule, not chewed or dissolved, for 42 days. The clinical efficacies, survival quality and the occurrence of toxic reaction were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS: Total response rate (61.11%) and stable rate of survival quality (83.33%) in observation group were significantly higher than those (27.78%, 44.44%) of control group (P<0.05); incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ myelosuppression, gastrointestinal reaction, abnormal liver function, peripheral neuritis and alopecia in observation group were significantly lower than those of control group; incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ visual effect in observation group was significantly higher than control group(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of edema between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Based on routine chemotherapy, additional application of crizotinib can significantly improve therapeutic efficacy of patients with advanced ALK positive lung adenocarcinoma, and effectively improve survival quality of patients without increasing the occurrence of toxic reaction of other tissues or organs, but the incidence of toxic reaction is in high level relatively.

Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic bone disease characterized by decreased bone mass, damage to bone tissue microstructure, increased bone fragility, and susceptibility to fractures, while sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive reduction in overall muscle mass and functional decline. Based on the common pathophysiological mechanism and close correlation between the two, the concept of "osteosarcopenia" has gradually emerged to describe the simultaneous attenuation of muscles and bones. Signaling pathways serve as important signal transmission channels between muscles and bones, and if abnormal, they can lead to osteosarcopenia. The aim of this article, therefore, is to review the signaling pathways related to osteogenesis and myogenesis, such as Hedgehog, Hippo, mTOR, MAPK, in order to provide new ideas for targeted treatment of osteosarcopenia.
