Chinese Health Economics 2014;(1):48-50
Objective: To explore the impacts of demographic structure, environmental quality on household health care expenditures. Methods: Based on 2000-2010 inter-provincial panel data, the method of dynamic panel SYS GMM is used. Results:(1) The rise of elederly dependency ratio promotes residents’ health care expenditures; (2) the decline in juvenile dependency ratio is also the acceleration factor of health care expenditures; (3) the seriousness of environmental quality pollution expands the health care demand. Conclusion: To improve the health status residents, it is needed to implement the medical insurance system for the eldly, construct the health care insurance system for the children, besides, environment protection should be people oriented.

Objective To explore the prevalence of poor behaviors and factors among patients with type 2 diabetes in urban areas of Guangzhou.Method Self-designed questionnaire was conducted among 369 patients with type 2 diabetes and factors on poor behaviour were analysed by binany logistic regression.Results Among 369 subjects with type 2 diabetes,80 cases(21.7%)currently smoked,41(11.1%)currently used alcohol and 65(16.9%)were lack of physical activity in leisure time.Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that female,diabetes-related knowledge and health demands were significantly and negatively associated with smoking,alcohol use and the lack of physical activity; compared with unmarried cases,those who got married,divorced or loosed spouse significantly had the higher risk of smoking,one who got married had the lower risk of using alcohol; the cases with aged and high family income had the lower risk of lack of physical activity in leisure time.Conclusion There were a higher prevalence of poor lifestyle behaviors among these patients with type 2 diabetes,and there was a significant difference of the poor lifestyle behaviors in those with different characteristics,and the cases with good diabetes-related knowledge well encouraged them giving up the poor lifestyle behaviors.

Objective To screen out the tetrahydrobiopterin def iciency in patients with hyperphenylalaninemia by urinary pterin analysis. Methods Analysis of urinary neopterin (N) and biopterin (B) was done in 96 patients with hyperphenylalaninemia by high performance liquid chromatography. Combined BH4 loading test was performed for patients with abnormal urinary pterin profiles. Results Eleven patients were diagnosed as ha ving BH4 deficiency caused by 6 pyruvoyl tetrahydrobiopterin synthase deficiency. They had a much high N/B ratio(N/B:197?250) and a very low B percentage (1.0?0.8)%. Blood phenylalanine levels were decreased from (720 1 200) ?mol/L to (120 240) ?mol/L after taking BH4 tablets in 4 of 11 patients. Conclusion The incidence of BH4 deficiency among hyperphenylalaninemia is about 12%. Analysis of urinary pterin is feasible and effective in screening of BH4 deficiency.

Objective: To investigate association between psychosocial factors and anxious and depressive disorders in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: 172 patients with type 2 diabetes were inquired with a self-administered questionnaire about their socio-demographic characteristics, perceived stress caused by the disease, coping styles, social support. At the same time, anxious and depressive disorders were assessed with HAD.Results:Among our sample, 35 (20.3%) patients with anxiety, 33 (19.2%) with depression. After adjusting for gender, age, marital status, educational level and income, multivariate logistic regression analysis found the following results. Perceived stress from "Worrying about to be harmed by the disease"(OR=1.76,95%CI 1.12~2.77),"Social/family crisis caused by the disease"(OR=1.85, 95%CI 1.18~2.92),"Worrying about declining in body/physical function"(OR=2.16, 95%CI 1.28~3.67), "Declined economic condition"(OR=2.03,95%CI 1.27~3.26)and "Negative coping styles"(OR=1.94,95%CI 1.26~2.97)were significantly associated with anxious disorders. The perceived stress from "Social/family crisis caused by disease"(OR=1.79, 95%CI 1.09~2.96), "Worrying about declining in body/physical function"(OR=2.89, 95%CI 1.59~5.24)and "Negative coping styles"(OR=1.95,95%CI 1.23~3.11)were significantly associated with depressive disorders, while patients "Taking avoidant measures"(OR=0.52, 95%CI 0.30~0.90)were less depressive disorders.Conclusion: Anxious and depressive disorders in patients with 2 type diabetes were significantly associated with patients' perceived stress from the disease and their coping styles.

Objective To sift and optimize pulse width for electroacupuncture prevention and treatment of muscular atrophy. Method A model of lower limb muscle atrophy was made in 40 rats. They were randomized into groupsⅠ (no electroacupuncture),Ⅱ (a pulse width of 0.5 ms and a frequency of 2 Hz), Ⅲ (a pulse width of 100 ms and a frequency of 2 Hz) and Ⅳ (a pulse width of 200 ms and a frequency of 2 Hz). Points Zusanli (ST36) and Chengshan(BL57) were given electroacupuncture. Sciatic function index (SFI), gastrocnemius muscle wet weight ratio (GW), the cross-sectional area of gastrocnemius muscle fibers (GC), gastrocnemius muscle cell diameter (GD) and gastrocnemius muscle cell apoptosis index (AI) were used as indicators of therapeutic effect. Result Compared with group Ⅰ, SFI and GW increased significantly in groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P<0.05). Compared with groupsⅠ and Ⅱ, AI on the affected side decreased significantly in groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P<0.05). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture is related to its pulse width. The pulse widths of 100 ms and 200 ms are significantly more effective than a pulse width of 0.5 ms from a conventional electroacupuncture device in preventing and treating muscular atrophy.

AIM To study the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in lymphocytes modified by BDNF gene and its effect on the proliferation and the H 2O 2-induced apoptosis of PC12 cells for the transfer of ex vivo therapeutic gene into central nervous system (CNS) tissue with atraumatic means. METHODS Recombined BDNF cDNA plasmid was transfected by LipofectAMINE into the packing cell line PA317 and G418-resistant clones with highest titer was selected. Rat lymphocytes were infected repeatedly with virus supernatant. The expression of BDNF in rat lymphocytes was assayed by FCM and immunohistochemistry. The proliferation of PC12 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. H 2O 2-induced apoptosis of PC12 cells was determined by PI stain flow cytometry. RESULTS BDNF expressed in rat lymphocytes genetically modified and the concentration of BDNF in the conditioned medium of engineered lymphocytes had a linear correlation with the proliferation of the PC12 cells. The supernatant of lymphocytes modified by BDNF gene decreased the apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by H 2O 2. CONCLUSION Rat lymphocytes genetically modified can express and secret active BDNF in vitro.

BACKGROUND:Stem celltherapy for renal ischemia-reperfusion injury has been the hot topics for many scholars. Its mechanism is very complex, which could not be explained by simple mechanism of stem cells differentiation. It is the result involving a variety of mechanisms. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence on immune cells during the bone marrow mesenchymal stem celltherapy for renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, then to preliminary summarize the immune regulation mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem celltherapy for renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:First, we established a model of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and, cultured and purified rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. Then, the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were transplanted into the rat models. Using flow cytometry detection technology, we analyzed the proportion of CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells of rat spleen cells, discussed the effects on immune cells during the bone marrow mesenchymal stem celltherapy for renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and then transferred the rat’s spleen cells to the nude mice which were subjected to renal renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Renal function and renal histological changes of nude mice were assessed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The bone marrow mesenchymal stem celltransplantation could significantly inhibit the decrease of CD4+CD25+regulatory T cellof spleen cells in rats with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. The transplantation of spleen cells from the above-mentioned rats to nude mice could obviously protect nude mice from renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, characterized by lower serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and renal tubule pathologic damage score. Therefore, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have protective effects on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating the immune system.
