Since the launch of the comprehensive public hospital reform in Zhejiang Province, the price of medical services has been adjusted, and the charging structure of medical services has been improved. Likewise, medical insurance policies have been optimized. Through several price adjustment strategies, such as the“loosen-re-strain” policy, the labor of medical personnel has been better valued, the operation of public medical institutions has been stabilized, and the allocation of medical resources has been optimized. Hence, this paper aims to measure the achievements and drawbacks of the medical service price adjustments by analyzing the various strategy. It is suggested that the comprehensive public hospital reform should be further intensified via the advancement of coordination of healthcare, medical insurance and medicine, the exploration of new procurement mechanisms for drugs and medical equipment, the establishment of dynamic adjustment mechanisms for medical service pricing, the exploration of new management mechanisms for medical services, and the strengthening of medical service supervision.

OBJECTIVE To study the in vitro activity of cefepime combined with sulbactam against carbapenem-resistant strains of Acinetobacter spp clinically isolated. METHODS The activity of each drug alone was determined against 24 isolates. Chequerborad synergy testing was then performed against all the isolates. RESULTS The percentage of the FIC index showed 33.3% synergism, 62.5% additive, 4.2% (1/24) indifference, and no antagonism tively. CONCLUSIONS Testing of cefepime and sulbactam combinations revealed synergism and additivity activity against some carbapenem-resistant strains(23/24) of Acinetobacter spp which could be likely to prove beneficial effect for the treatment of infections due to multidrug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter spp.

Covered in the paper are the policies and progress of the county-level public hospital reform in the province,and a summarized analysis of the self-appraisal reports and hospital reform statements submitted by the health authorities and up to 300 hospitals in 79 counties of the province.As found in the papers,the ongoing reform in Zhejiang is focused on reforming the business models in place,seeking breakthroughs from the zero mark-up policy on drug sales,in addition to such policies as reducing drug costs,adjusting medical service pricing,financial subsidies,and medical insurance payment reforms.Despite the initial success,further policy studies are needed in terms of internal management,upper and lower linkage,and personnel incentives.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the resistance phenotype of acinetobacter baumannii and the expression of ade efflux pump gene. METHODS: Non-repetitive 51 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were collected in Peking Union Medical Hospital between Feb. 2004 and Feb. 2005. The active efflux system adeB structural gene and sequence were identified by PCR. RESULTS: The tested strains were not susceptible to common broad-spectrum antibiotics. Multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii carried adeB active efflux pump gene. CONCLUSION: The multiple-drug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii is independent of ?-lactamase. It maybe related to other drug resistance mechanism. The effect of active efflux system is possibly one of the major mechanisms of multidrug resistance of acinetobacter baumannii.

Microdialysis is an automatic biological sampling technique that is directed into the target tissue. Microdialysis is used to monitor the changes of drug and related substances associated with pathological physiology of tumor in the target tissue at the molecular level. Microdialysis is applied to evaluate the pharmaco-kinetics of drugs in the target tissue of tumor,optimize the combination therapy,explore molecular targeted therapy and study the early diagnosis and prognosis of tumor. Microdialysis provides a new idea and method for the prevention and cure research of tumor.

Objective To explore the effect of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) on serum cytokines and cardiac function in patients with sepsis myocardial injury.Methods Fifty patients with sepsis myocardial injury were admitted in Hangzhou First People's Hospital from June 2015 to September 2016,and according to the computer generated random number,they were divided into conventional treatment group and TMP treatment group,25 cases in each group.The patients in the conventional treatment group were treated with antimicrobial agents,vasoactive drugs,fluid resuscitation and organ function support,etc.;TMP treatment group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) TMP on the basis of routine treatment.TMP 120 mg was added to 250 mL normal saline (NS) for intravenous drip once a day for a therapeutic course of 10 days.Plasma N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptidec (NT-proBNP) and serum tmnor necrosis factor-oα (TNF-α) levels were measured before treatment and on 1,5 and 10 days after treatment.Left ventricular internal systolic dimension (LVIDs),fractional shortening (FS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured by cardiac ultrasound,3 cardiac cycles were measured and the average results were taken.The intensive care unit (ICU) hospital stay and mortality were calculated in the two groups.Results The levels of NT-proBNP and TNF-α in the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment,the differences in the levels were statistically significant between those before treatment and 5 days after treatment in the conventional treatment group [NT-proBNP (ng/L):334.25 ± 36.46 vs.577.72 ± 60.34,TNF-α (ng/L):388.48 ± 43.38 vs.507.74-± 31.63,both P < 0.05],and in TMP treatment group,the levels from 1 day after treatment compared with those before treatment,there were statistical significant differences [NT-proBNP (ng/L):387.44 ± 36.39 vs.571.67-± 56.34,TNF-α(ng/L):403.79 ± 23.20 vs.505.82 ± 31.31,both P < 0.05];the degrees of decrease in TMP treatment group were more obvious than those in conventional treatment group (all P < 0.01).After treatment in the two groups,the LVIDs was decreased gradually,FS and LVEF were increased gradually,reaching the lowest or highest level on 10 days after treatment,and the changes of TMP treatment group were more significant than those in the conventional treatment group,LVIDs and LVEF of the two groups showed statistically significant differences on 5 days after treatment [LVIDs (mm):43.23 ± 5.57vs.48.21 ± 2.29,LVEF:0.47 ± 0.02 vs.0.41 ± 0.02,both P < 0.05],FS on 1 day after treatment showed a statistically significant difference [FS:(23.92 ± 1.81)% vs.(22.84 ± 1.79)%,P < 0.05].The ICU stay in the TMP group was shorter than that in the conventional treatment group (days:13.16 ± 2.67 vs.16.48-± 3.08,P < 0.05),and the mortality was lower than that of conventional treatment group [20% (5/25) vs.36% (9/25)],the difference being not statistically significant (P > 0.05).Conclusions In septic myocardial injury,TNF-α plays an important role;after TMP treatment in patients with myocardial injury caused by viral myocarditis,the serum TNF-α level is decreased showing it has antagonizing TNF-α activity,thus it has protective effect on sepsis myocarditis,improves heart function and the disease prognosis.

Described in the paper is the reform made at public hospitals in Zhejiang province,with analysis of its problems and causes. Based on such,the authors proposed the following actions:to accelerate the reform of public hospitals centering on health promotion, and encourage such hospitals to shoulder the health care responsibility on behalf of the government; to proceed with hierarchical medical system and contract-based service focusing on capacity building of general practitioners; to attract private capital into building the healthcare system; and to motivate non-governmental organizations to cater to diversified healthcare needs of the people.
