Objective: To explore the effect of health insurance on consumption for rural and urban households. Methods: Using empirical study with the method of quasi-social experiment. Results: Households with health insurance have more consumption than those without health insurance. The higher the coverage of family health insurance improves, the more effects medical insurance would encourage family consumption. Meanwhile, the marginal effect of health insurance on rural households ’ consumption is much bigger than that of urban households. Conclusion: Through enhancing households’ risk tolerance, health insurance reduces households’ precautionary saving motivation and impels to increase the current consumption.

In recent years,clinical immunology has an increasing variety of prominent applications in the field of chronic hepatitis B infection.On one hand,the discovery and identification of the mechanisms of pathogen recognition by the innate immune system,novel immune cell subpopulations and immunoregulatory pathways further enriched the immunological pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis B.On the other hand,the development of new immunotherapy strategies aimed at reconstructing the antiviral immunity,including agonists of Toll like receptors,immune cell therapies and therapeutic vaccines,have provided several new targets for the optimization of antiviral therapy strategies and brought new opportunities for patients of chronic hepatitis B to obtain HBsAg clearance and clinical cure.

Objective To investigate the prevalence features of helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection,anemia and iron deficiency in a po-pulation of Wuhan children with 2 to 6 years old,and the relationship between Hp infection and anemia,iron deficiency in the children.Methods Randomly taking 95 children who had taken tests in our hospital's check-up centre in 2008 as the study objects,2 kinds of exa-mination were employed to detect Hp infection.Serum levels of Hp-IgG were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods to evaluate past infection.The 14C urea breath test (14C-UBT) was conducted to obtain information of the presence of current/active Hp infection.In the morning 3 mL fasting venous blood was collected to determine the serum levels of Hp-IgG antibodies and ferritin.Hemoglobin values were determined with a hemoglobinometer.Serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were tested in order to determine whether the children had evidence of current inflammation or infection.In addition,demographic information such as age and gender of the children and information about their use of antibiotics within the prior month were recorded.All cases were divided into 2 groups including the Hp infection group and non-Hp infection group according to laboratory examinations,then the Logistic regression was applied to analyze the relationship between Hp infection and anemia,iron deficiency.The Kappa identity test was taked to compare the 2 measures.Results Of the 95 children,18.9% were anemic and 36.8% were iron deficient.Forty percent of the cohort had Hp-IgG antibodies,74.4% tested positive by the UBT.Presence of Hp-IgG emerged as a significant risk factor for anemia,iron deficiency in adjusted analysis controlling for demographic factors,current inflammation,and antibiotic use.Conclusions Findings from different measure of Hp may reflect different stages of infection,with UBT results reflecting an earlier stage of infection,and presence of Hp-IgG reflecting established Hp infection associated with anemia,iron deficiency.

AIM　To improve the treatment efficacy of anti-tumor drug mitoxantrone, the conjugation of mitoxantrone-loaded nanospheres and anti-C-erbB-2 monoclonal antibodies were prepared. METHODS Mitoxantrone-loaded nanospheres were prepared with emulsion-heating solidification technique. A heterobifunctional reagent, N-succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP), was used as the crosslinker of mitoxantrone-loaded nanospheres and anti-C-erbB-2 monoclonal antibodies; pharmaceutical properties of immunonanocapsuls were studied; the conjugates of nanospheres and monoclonal antibodies was confirmed with immunological methods such as slide agglutination test, fluorescent immunossay and rosset formation test, fluorescent staining and scanning electron microscope. RESULTS　Mitoxantrone-loaded nanospheres were spherical, with smooth surface and median diameter of 0.665 micron. When stored at 3-5, 20-25 and 37℃, RH 75% for three months, the appearance, morphology, size distribution, drug loading and in vitro release characteristics showed no significant change and the stability was satisfactory. The size analysis demonstrated that there was no obvious increase in the particle size of nanoparticles after conjugation. Immunological tests indicate highly selective binding of antibody-targeted nanospheres to C-erbB-2-overexpressing cells SK-BR-3. CONCLUSION　The conjugation of mitoxantrone-loaded nanospheres and anti-C-erbB-2 monoclonal antibodies can keep the activity of anti-C-erbB-2 and increase the therapeutic efficacy of anti-mammary cancer drugs.

In order to study the analgesic effect of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction, this paper discussed material basis and mechanism from the perspective of macromolecules in traditional Chinese medicine. Inspired by the phenomenon of turbidity after boiling Chinese medicine, this experiment took Shaoyao Gancao Decoction as the research object to study the formation process of precipitation during boiling. The results showed that aggregates with a certain shape were formed in the solvent during the boiling process, and the precipitate was obtained by standing and centrifuging. Analysis found that the precipitation was mainly composed of small molecules such as paeoniflorin, albiflorin, liquiritin, glycyrrhizic acid, isoliquiritin and gallic acid, and macromolecules such as protein and polysaccharide. The composition of precipitate was consistent with that of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction, but the analgesic effect of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction after removing the precipitate was significantly reduced. Based on these results, we isolated small molecular compounds, polysaccharides and protein from Shaoyao Gancao Decoction and their contents are 60.4, 700.7 and 207.2 mg·g^-1 respectively. We get the ratio, polysaccharide: small molecule = 11.6∶1, protein: small molecule = 3.4∶1, the precipitate is prepared in the state of boiling. The characterization results showed that the particle size of the precipitate will change significantly after co-heating, and the content determination results showed that the content of the six small molecular compounds which was free in solvent was significantly reduced after the formation of the precipitate. The acetic acid writhing experiment proved that the precipitate has a good analgesic effect, and effectively reduced the levels of inflammatory factors prostaglandin E2 and nitric oxide, and increased the level of anti-inflammatory factor interleukin-10. These results proved that the precipitate in Shaoyao Gancao Decoction is an important material basis for analgesic effect, and macromolecules such as protein and polysaccharide are the main components of the precipitate. The study of macromolecules in the precipitate of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction not only provides new ideas and methods for elucidating the pharmacodynamic material basis of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction, but also provides a reference for analyzing the scientificity of traditional decoction.
