Chinese Health Economics 2017;36(2):65-69
Objective:To analyze the efficiency of 77 public hospitals' medical services and influencing factors in Tianjin.Methods:Using DEA method to measure the hospitals' medical service efficiency,establishing Tobit regression model to analyze the influencing factors of public hospitals medical service efficiency.Results:The overall efficiency of Tianjin public hospitals was low,most hospitals were not reasonable in the size,the significant influencing factors of Tianjin public hospitals' medical service efficiency including the per capita physician outpatient,the proportion of senior technical staffs,hospital gearing ratio,drug-income ratio and average fee per patient.Conclusion:Increasing the per capita physician outpatient and the proportion of senior technical staff could significantly enhance the overall technical efficiency,while decreasing the gearing ratio and the average fee of per patient were also beneficial to improve hospital efficiency.

Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2012;21(8):694-697
Objective To explore the correlation of ultrasonographic,pathologic,and clinical findings of breast fibroadenomas.Methods 157 cases of breast fibroadenomas demonstrated by pathologic findings were examined with color Doppler ultrasound prior to biopsy.Images were classified according to ultrasound characteristics and analysed with latter pathologic findings.Results Ultrasound images of 157 cases could be divided into 6 types:uniformity( n =82),linage( n =37),bicolor( n =15),nodule-in-nodule (n =3),cyst-massity mixed ( n =9),calcify( n =11).5 cases were mistakenly judged to breast cancer on ultrasound images(1 ease in the linage,1 case in the cyst-mass mixed,3 cases in the calcify).Accurate ratio of ultrasound diagnosis was 96.82%.Pathologic finding:①Uniformity type,hyperplasia of both the gland and fibrous tissue of tumor in order.② Linage type,hyperplasia fibrous tissue in belt.③ Bicolor type,significant difference in the proportion and arrangement of the hyperplasia gland and fibrous tissue.④Nodule-in-nodule type,extensive hemorrhagic infarction in tumor.⑤Cyst-massity mixed type,hydatoncus,metaplasia in great sweat gland,hyperplasia conduit epithelial,conduit cystic-expansion.⑥ Calcify type,fibroadenomas on growth of static or regression transformation,and calcify of interstitial tissue.Conclusions Ultrasonic diagnosis and its simple typing is an accurate,simple and effective way for the diagnosis of breast fibroadenoma,which may improve the accuracy of diagnosis rate for breast fibroadenoma.It is helpful for choosing the surgical remedies.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(9):802-805
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of flupentixol and melitracen tablets combined with macrogol 4000 powders on treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) in elderly patients. Methods Fifty paients aged from 65 to 95 years with IBS-C were randomly divided into 2 groups: control group (23 patients) and treatment group (27 patients). The patients in treatment group received flupentixol and melitracen tablets (1 tablets, once a day) combined with macrogol 4000 powders (1 bag/time, 2 times a day) , while the patients in control group received macrogol 4000 powders alone. The treatment period was 4 weeks. The curative effect, the scores of self-rating depression scale (SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and adverse reaction were compared between two groups. Results At the improvement of depressive symptoms, the effective rate in treatment group and control group was 88.9%(24/27) and 39.1%(9/23), and there was significant difference (P<0.01). At the improvement of anxiety symptoms, the effective rate in treatment group and control group was 74.1%(20/27) and 26.1%(6/23), and there was significant difference (P<0.01). The total effective rate in treatment group and control group was 88.9%(24/27) and 65.2%(15/24), and there was significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusions Flupentixol and melitracen tablets combined with macrogol 4000 powders on treatment of aged IBS-C patients have more distinguished therapeutic effect in improving constipation symptoms, stools times, anxiety and depression.
5.Clinical research advances of apatinib in the treatment of malignancies
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2016;43(12):545-548
Antitumor drugs that target the signaling of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors have attracted increasing attention with the development of antiangiogenic targeted therapy. Apatinib is a second-generation vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 inhibitor and a potent antiangiogenic agent. Apatinib is one of the recent oral molecular targeted anti tumor drugs. Clinical studies have indicated that apatinib exhibits high bioavailability and a tolerable safety profile. A series of large-scale randomized and controlled clinical trials before and after the release of the drug in the market have demonstrated encouraging objective response rate and survival benefit across a broad range of malignancies, including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer. Apa-tinib was approved and launched in China in 2014 as a subsequent-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer. Apatinib is currently undergoing phase II/III clinical trials for the treatment of numerous cancer types, such as gastric carcinoma, lung cancer, he-patocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer, and colorectal cancer. These clinical trials are conducted to determine the antitumor activi-ty of apatinib when administrated alone or in combination with other therapies. This review summarizes the latest research progress of apatinib, including antitumor mechanisms, clinical effects on different tumor types, safety profile and adverse effects, drug interac-tions, as well as drug resistance and biomarkers. This article presents a deeper understanding of the clinical application of apatinib in anti tumor treatment, and provides reference for future clinical practice in therapeutic options for cancer patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of -477C/T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in promoter region of ABCA1 gene on plasma levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods -477C/T genotypes in promoter region of ABCA1 gene were assessed in 96 CAD patients and 100 healthy individuals with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and distribution of the -477C/T genotypes was compared between CAD group and healthy group, and also between patients with different CAD clinical manifestations. The clinical indexes associated with CAD were also compared among the three genotypes. Results The distributive frequency of CC, CT, or TT genotype of CAD group and healthy group was different from one another, and the proportion of the TT genotype or the T allele was obviously higher in CAD group than in healthy group (P

0.05). Conclusion The genotypes of ABCA1 R1587K polymorphism were associated closely with the plasma levels of HDL-C. The HDL-C levels of K allele carriers were remarkably lower. However, there was no significant association of the ABCA1 R1587K polymorphism and the susceptibility to CAD.

Objective To know the air benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) pollution level in a coke plant of Chongqing Iron & Steel Group. Methods The concentrations of B[a]P in coke oven operating environment were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in different places of work in Sep. 2008.B[a]P concentration at different distances on the surrounding regions of coke plant and real-time monitoring in every quarter around the different functional areas was conducted. Results The air B[a]P concentration in the coke plant was descending following the order: the top of coke oven, the side of coke oven, the bottom of coke oven. B [a]P concentrations of oven bottom, oven side, oven top showed a gradual increase tendency with the extension of the sampling time (P

Objective To investigate the relationship between procoagulation of HFGL 2 and abnormality of coagulation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by detecting the expression of HFGL2/fibroleukin in peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC) of SLE patients. Methods A polyclonal antibody against HFGL2 was applied to detecting the expression of HFGL2 protein in 32 SLE patients and 15 healthy volunteers by immunohistochemistry. Semi-quantitative measurement of HFGL2 expression in the blood specimen was done with high multiple image analytical system(HMIAS). Results The expression of HFGL2 in PBMC from 23 active SLE patients was significantly higher than that in the controls, which showed a positive correlation with the disease activity. Conclusion The expression of HFGL2 in PBMC is probably correlated with the pathogenesis and disease activity of SLE.
