Objective To study the value of serum albumin ( ALB ) level for the prognosis of late-preterm infants infection. Methods Late-preterm infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit ( NICU) from July 2012 to July 2013 were recruited and their clinical data retrospectively reviewed, including the laboratory examination results, neonatal critical illness scores ( NCIS ) , perinatal complications and prognosis. The infants were assigned into three groups based on ALB levels (＞30 g/L, 25-30 g/L, ＜25 g/L). Results A total of 257 cases were recruited and 122 cases (47. 4％) had ALB levels ＜25 g/L. 32 had neonatal sepsis ( sepsis group) , 190 neonatal infection ( infection group) and 35 without infection ( no-infection group ) . The incidences of hypoalbuminemia among these groups were 84. 4％, 50. 0％ and 28. 6％, with the mortality rate 15. 6％, 0. 5％ and 0％. The incidence of hypoalbuminemia and mortality rate in sepsis group were significantly higher than the other groups ( P＜0. 05 ) , and no statistically significant differences between infection group and no-infection group ( P＜0. 05). The ALB level in survived infants [(29. 6±7. 5)g/L] was statistically higher than the deceased ones [(20. 4±6. 9)g/L](P＜0. 05). The incidence of critically ill newborns was 65. 5％ in ALB ＜25 g/L group, significantly higher than the other groups (P＜0. 05). 26. 2％ in ALB ＜25 g/L group had more than 4 organs injuries, significantly higher than ALB ＞30 g/L group ( P＜0. 05 ) . Conclusions Hypoalbuminemia is common among neonates with sepsis. The ALB level had predictive value for the prognosis of neonatal infection.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the price management of medicines in Chinese mainland by inquiring into rel-ative management in Hong Kong. METHODS:Based on the steps of price management and the value chain of medicines in Hong Kong,the management mechanism of medicine pricing,circulation and compensation were researched. RESULTS & CONCLU-SIONS:The prices of the medicines in Hong Kong are mainly determined by the tender between Hospital Authority and the pharma-ceutical suppliers. In circulation,medicine payer as main body in bidding and purchase conducthigh qualitybidding andmasspurchase,and price remained the same in public hospital. On the basis of the purchase price,the price that actually paid by pa-tients is the result of government compensation. Chinese mainland can draw lessons from such drug bidding mode in Hong Kong which will lead health care department to act as the main body in bidding,weaken the relationship between the hospitals and the drug dealers or manufacturers,and expand the government's financial investment in public medical institutions to improve reim-bursement.

OBJECTIVE:To explore price management mechanism of medical service in Macau of China,and to provide refer-ence for the formulation of price management mechanism of medical service in the mainland area of China. METHODS:From two key links of pricing and compensation,price management mechanism of medical service in Macau was introduced. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS:In respect of pricing,Macau Health Bureau as pricing subject set up guide price for public health institutions by marginal cost pricing,which focused on technology value and labor value of medical staff,and graded pricing for health institu-tions at various levels. In respect of compensation,compensation subjects included government,social security funds,charitable or-ganization,etc. The government provided fixed-rate compensation for citizen by allocating funds for public health institutions,so as to improve compensation level for primary health institutions. The social security funds extended sick benefit to insured patients, and compensated patients at fixed rate. Charitable organization subsidized private health institutions to reduce medical service price. Finally,actual price has been formulated through pricing and compensation links,and the experience is worthy of learning by the mainland of China.
