Objective To understand the changes of the coverage of medical insurance and the utilization of medical services from 2000 to 2009.Methods The data on medical insurance and utilization of medical services were obtained from China Nutrition Panel Survey conducted by University of North Carolina,Chapel Hill.The trend of medical insurance and use of preventative medical services were examined.And a Logistic regression model was used to estimate the relationship between some social economic status and the enrollment of medical insurance and use of medical services.Results The coverage of medical insurance expanded dramatically from 20％ in 2000 to 89％ in 2009.The rural population experienced higher expansion.The gap between rural and urban populations in terms of insurance coverage was closed.The use of preventive services remained low in both rural and urban populations,with 3.72％ and 4.62％ respectively.Conclusions Both coverage of medical insurance and use of prevention medical services imoroved from 2000 to 2009,which has provided solid foundation for further reforms.

Objective To study the safety and efficacy of selective head cooling (SHC) with mild systemic hypotherrnia in neonates with HIE. Methods Fifty-four term infants with severe neonatal HIE were randomly assigned to the head cooling group (n=27) and control group (n=27). Forty-one infants in 96 h after admission were eligible for the study(SHC group n=21, control group n=20). In SHC group, the naso-pharyngeal temperature was maintained at (34.0±0.2) ℃ and rectal temperature maintained at 34～35 ℃ for 72 h, then rewarmed spontaneously. In control group, normal rectal temperature was maintained. During the period of the study, the infants of two groups were monitored on nasopharyngeal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate,transcutaneous arterial oxygen saturation and blood pressure. Primary adverse effects inclu-ding severe arrhythmia, venous thrombosis or hemorrhage and severe hypotension were observed. The efficacy indicators including rate of death and severe disability, exercise and cognition development index were as-sessed. Results Severe arrhythmia, hypotension and renal failure were not found in both groups. Follow-up was conducted until postnatal 18 months and was not available in 6 babies (3 in SHC group and 3 in control group respectively). Death and severe disability occurred in 4 of 18 infants (22.2%)in SHC group and in 9 of 17 infants(52.9% ) in the control group respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion SHC for 72 h with mild systemic hypothermia in neonates with HIE is safe and effective. The therapy could reduce the risk of disabili-ty and handicap significantly.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) play important roles in many biological processes.However,compared with other types of RNAs,limited research has been conducted on lncRNA,mostly concerning its relationship with tumor,and there are much fewer studies on its relationship with atherosclerosis.In this article,we summarized the latest research findings in this field,with an emphasis on the importance of IncRNA in atherosclerosis.The value of lncRNA in targeted therapy of atherosclerotic disorders is also discussed.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture in treating spastic paralysis following cerebral infarction. Methods: Sixty patients with spastic paralysis after cerebral infarction were randomly allocated into control group and treatment group, 30 cases each. The control group was treated with conventional acupuncture and the treatment group was treated with conventional acupuncture plus electroacupuncture according to the principle of antagonistic acupuncture. Both groups were given routine drugs and scalp acupuncture treatment. Results: Statistical analysis showed significant differences in NFI score and clinical curative effect score between pretreatment and posttreatment in the treatment and control groups and between the treatment and control groups. Conclusion: Both electroacupuncture and conventional acupuncture have clinical curative effect on spastic paralysis following cerebral infarction, but the curative effect of electroacupuncture is significantly superior to that of conventional acupuncture.

Objective:To analyze essential health care equity in cities and counties of Hainan in order to provide the basis for its development. Methods:Based on health statistics of Hainan, China and OECD countries, indicators of essential health care equity in cities and counties were analyzed. Results:Equity in distribution of resources, the hospi-tal geographical distance is large difference, physician-to-nurse ratio is 1:1. 2, and the Gini coefficient is more than 0. 3. Equity in financing, health care spending per capita is less than the national level. Cities and counties with high government budgets for health are located in regional centers. The hospitalization costs compensation with new rural co-operative medical scheme is about 50%. Equity in service supply, bed occupancy rate below 90% and drugs accounted for 30% ~40% in most cities and counties. Regional differences in maternal and child health management are small, but below the national level. Conclusions:The situation of essential health care resources is related to the political and economic climate. Financing mechanisms for essential health care are imperfect;and a low supply of basic medical and public health services reduced the quality of essential health care. Suggestions:Rational distribution of essential health care resources should be promoted;essential health care financing should be increased;and the capability of essential health care supply should be improved.

Objective To study the effect of different processing methods on paeoniflorin content and to provide a basis for stabilizing the processing technology of white peony root.Methods RP-HPLC method was used to determine the content of paeoniflorin on Agilent Eclipse XDB-C18(150 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m),with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid(14∶86),flow rate of 1.0 mL/min,column temperature of 25 ℃,and detective wavelength of 230 nm.Results The average recovery rate was 99.195%,RSD=0.8%(n=6).The content of paeoniflorin was 0.55%,2.70%,3.40%,3.25%,respectively.Conclusion In the processing of white peony root,heating,water immersion and sulfur smoked have greater effect of paeoniflorin content in white peony root.

Objective:To investigate if injury-related myofibroblast induction could occur in bronchial epithelial cells and the role of TGF-?_1(rhTGF-?_1) in epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation. Methods:Cultured bronchial epithelial cells, 16HBE-14o, were exposed to poly-L-arginine(PLA). Using a immunohistochemical method, ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) expression was detected in those cells after being treated with PLA . Relative activity of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase(CAT) was assessed in 16HBE-14o cells, which were transiently transfected with VSMP8 plasmid containing ?-SMA promoter linked to CAT gene, at different time points after rhTGF-?_1(10 ?g/L) treatment. Results:①?-SMA positive, spindle-shaped cells emerged among the regenerated 16HBE-14o epithelial cells following damage. The number of ?-SMA positive 16HBE-14o cells increased and cell repair was delayed under rhTGF-?_1 stimulation.② CAT activity increased significantly in VSMP8 plasmid transfected 16HBE-14o cells 24 h after TGF-?_1 stimulation.

Objective To investigate the use of sodium hyaluronate and the preservation of epidural fat in the prevention of epidural scar adhesion after microendoscopic discectomy (MED). Methods A total of 300 patients receiving MED from July 2000 to October 2001 were randomly divided into 2 groups: patients in group A were given sodium hyaluronate with the preservation of epidural fat, while those in group B were on the contrary. Results The mean follow-up duration was 42 months in the group A and 44 months in the group B, respectively. The rate of excellent or good results was 98.6% in the group A (144/146), while 93.8% in the group B (135/144) ( ? 2=4.731, P =0.030). Postoperatively, the pain reappeared in 4 cases in the group A and in 6 cases in the group B, respectively, in which a re-operation was required. Re-operations found the epidural scar adhesion was grade 0 (3 cases) and grade 1 (1 case) in the group A, and grade 2 (2 cases) and grade 3 (4 cases) in the group B ( P =0.005). Conclusions Use of sodium hyaluronate with the preservation of epidural fat can improve the efficacy of MED and effectively prevent epidural scar adhesion.
