Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 1996;0(04):-
Health resources allocation, the cornerstone of health production capability, includes effective allocation of increments and rational readjustment of stocks. Using the least square method and variance analysis, the authors created a multilinear regression model on the basis of the calculation method and analysis principle of the Cobb-Douglas production function and in light of historical data in China's health sector and made a positive analysis of the current state of health resources allocation in China The result indicates that the input in health human resources has been insufficient and their contribution to production has been on the moderate side. Moreover, health resources allocation has shown decreasing return to scale on the whole.

Objective To investigate the antitumor effects of total glycoside of Cimicifuga dahurica (TGCD) in vivo and in vitro, and further explore its mechanisms. Methods The anti-tumor activity in vitro was determined by MTT assay and the anti-tumor activity in vivo was evaluated using experimental mouse tumor (S180) model and human tumor (A549) xenografts in nude mice. After treatment, A549 cell apoptosis and morphologic change were evaluated by Annexin V/PI flow cytometry and HE staining. Results Inhibitory concentration 50% (IC50) of TGCD on A549, HepG2, HL60, Eca-109 and MDA-MB231 cells were 20.3, 27.1, 21.2, 23.4 and 32.7 ?g/mL respectively. Administration of TGCD (100 or 200 mg/kg) inhibited S180 solid tumor development in mice, the inhibition rates were 42.8% and 54.6% respectively. Administration of TGCD (100 or 200 mg/kg) inhibited A549 tumor growth with a T/C (mean value of treated group/mean value of control group) value of 58.1% and 52.2% respectively. In addition, increased percentage of apoptotic cells induced by TGCD in human A549 nude mice xenografts and the histopathological changes including cell shrinkage and condensation of chromosomes were observed. Conclusion TGCD has demonstrated antitumor bioactivity both in vitro and in vivo, which may be related to its effects of inducing apoptosis activity.

Qualitative and quantitative analyses of biological samples containing drugs, toxicants and endogenous substances play an important role in the researches of life sciences, as well as in new drug discovery and development. Biological samples are characterized by complex matrix, multiple endogenous interferences, significantly lower concentrations of measured analytes compared to endogenous components and small sampling volume. Consequently, it often requires bioanalysis methods with superior specificity, high sensitivity and good reproducibility. The two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) technique, which allows for high peak capacity, significant reduced matrix effect and carryover of complex matrix samples and automated sample pre-treatment and analysis, has been the powerful solution to the separation and analysis of biological sample and widely applied to environment, food and pharmaceutical analysis. On the basis of introduction of the principle and equipments of 2D-LC, the application of this technique in the pharmacokinetics, toxicological and biological study was reviewed.

Objective To study the value of 256-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in internal thoracic artery. Methods The angiographic images of 107 patients who were suspected thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases were retrospectively ana-lyzed. The running rule and branches of internal thoracic artery on both sides were observed. Each side of the internal thorac-ic artery was divided into 3 sections according to the running rule. The lumen diameter, vessel length and its branches were measured in three segmental vascular of the internal thoracic artery. The lumen diameter of the diaphragmatic artery diame-ter,and the distance between internal thoracic artery and each border of the sternum were also measured. Results Both sides of the internal thoracic and diaphragmatic arteries were shown in 107 patients (100%). There were significant differenc-es in vascular lumen diameter of intrathoracic artery of both sides (P<0.05). There were no significant differences between both sides of the corresponding segments (P>0.05). The left internal thoracic artery was significantly longer in the left side than that of right side (P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the diameter of diaphragmatic arteries and the distance between the internal thoracic artery and the sternal edge of two sides (P>0.05). Conclusion The application of 256-slice spiral CT angiography can clearly show the running rule and anatomical features of internal thoracic artery ,and provide a relatively important clinical information.

Objectives To evaluate the influence of cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) to the endothelial function and lipid oxidative status of the Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) patients. Methods Thirty-five coronary patients (female 5 cases, male 30 cases, mean age 59.5±8. 6 years) who needed CABG operation therapy were included. The control group consisted of 20 health volunteers (female 5 cases, male 15 cases, mean age 49. 5 ± 7.3 years).Blood samples were taken at preoperative, 3 and 7 days postoperative. Serum von Willebrand factor (vWF) level, one of the endothelial dysfunction markers,and oxidized low density lipid (OxLDL) level, one of the lipid oxidization status markers were detected with ELISA kits. Results The levels of vWF and OxLDL in CABG patients' serum were elevated significantly compared with those of control group ( 139.60% ± 34. 39% vs 82. 79% ±13. 89% and 63. 7 ±18. 9U/ml vs 25.4± 15.2U/ml respectively). Three and 7 days after CABG significant increases in the vWF level (194. 30% ±37. 74%; 181.07% ±31.05%vs 139.60% ±34.39% at baseline, P<0. 0001, respectively) and OxLDL level (79. 3±26. 7U/ml; 72.4±23.1U/ml vs 63.7±18. 9U/ml at baseline, P<0. 01, respectively) were detected. Conclusion Compared with normal people, the endothelial system of CABG patients is impaired, and their lipids are in a more oxidative status. CABG procedure with CPB can further deteriorate the conditions, which may imply that the patients are predisposed to acute coronary accident shortly are the procedure.

To obtain the aptamers with high affinity and specificity for cyclosporin A(CsA),a synthesized 78 nt single stranded DNA(ssDNA)random library containing 35 random sequences flanked by invariant primer was subjected to 1 1 rounds of selection against CsA by SELEX protocol.Magnetic beads were used for target immobilization and the biotin-streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase system was employed for determining the binding affinity between the aptamers and CsA. After ten rounds of selection and amplification, with an increasing affinity for each round,the selected aptamers were cloned,sequenced and analyzed for their primaryand secondary structures.The 19 aptamers were divided into five groups based on primary sequence homology.Hairpin loop is the main motif in the predicted secondary structure and is supposed to be the binding part of the aptamers to CsA.The CsA-specific aptamers will be useful for enzyme-linked assays or immunofluorescence asses of CsA.
