Objective To explore how to determine the designated hospitals for critical illness scientifically and reasonably.Methods Analyzing the choice of medical providers by inpatients with critical illness,by means of the database of NRCMS in 2009~2010 in one county,Guangxi province.And analyzing the current policies on the basis of general principals used in health policy analysis.Results The choices of medical providers made by inpatients with critical illness are influenced by various factors.Choice of such hospitals should only be dependent on scientific and reasonable determination of patients' reasonable medical needs,instead of on the medical competency of the hospitals only.Conclusion Maximal cost-effectiveness should prevail,be it the class-1 demand of complete healing which is highly dependent on medical technology,or class-2 demand requiring repeated hospitalizations and not highly dependent on medical technology.Reasonable designation of hospitals for critical illness should be based on reasonable medical needs of patients,instead of medical competency of hospitals only.

Objective:To evaluate the impact and predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio( NLR) ,derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio( d-NLR) ,platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio( PLR) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio( LMR) on the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer with curative resection.Methods: Retrospective analysis of 205 cases of clinical data and returning data after patients with colorectal cancer surgery,ROC curve was applied to determine thresholds for four biomarkers and their prognostic values were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curve,univariate and multivariate COX regression models of patients with NLR,D-NLR,PLR and LMR and other clinicopathological factors and the relationship between the 5-year recurrent-free survival( RFS).Results:According to the ROC curve,LMR could not be used as a potential diagnostic biomarker for subsequently analysis,for its AUC was less than 0.50, The optimal cut-off values were 3.12 with the highest specificity and sensitivity ( 75% and 73.1%) for NLR, while in the univariate analysis show,NLR,D-NLR and PLR were all risk factors of poor recurrence-free survival ( P<0.05 ) , the multivariate regression analysis,NLR≥3.12 and colorectal cancer staging were independent risk factors of prognosis of colorectal cancer.Conclusion:NLR≥3.12 can provide improved accuracy for predicting clinical outcomes in surgical CRC patients under surgery resection.

ObjectiveTo observe the efficacy of pricking cupping in treating herpes zoster at acute stage.MethodSixty patients with herpes zoster at acute stage were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by pricking cupping, while the control group was by oral administration of Western medicine. The total effective rate and the improvement of symptoms and pain at different stages were observed afterintervention.ResultThe total effective rate was 90.0% in the treatment group versus 86.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05); after the first treatment course, the decreases of symptom score and pain indexin the treatment group were significantly superior to that in the control group (P<0.05); after the second treatment course, there were no significant differences in comparing the decreases of symptom score and pain index between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionPricking cupping is an effective approach in treating herpes zoster of the acute stage, as it can produce a comparatively higher total effective rate and also significantly improve the symptoms and pain.

Methods The expression of TGF? 1 was investigated in 74 specimens of TCCs by SP immunohistochemistry staining, and the level of TGF? 1 mRNA were determined in 43 cases of TCCs by the method of quantitative RT PCR. Results The positives expression rate of TGF? 1 was 89.2%. Superficial tumors had lower overexpressive rate of TGF? 1(33.3%) than the invasive TCCs(83.8%), P

Objective To study the clinical application of self-expanding nitinol stent in benign and malignant esophageal obstruction as well as in postoperative anastomotic stenosis and anastomotic leakage. Methods 22 cases of benign or malignant esophageal stenosis were treated by placing metallic stents inserted into the stenosis segment through per-oral intubation under the fluoroscopic guidance. Results The degreee of dysphagia was improved, Stooler′s staging of dysphagia was down from 3.1 preoperatively to 1.2 postoperatively. 2 cases of anastomotic leakage and 1 case of esophagorespiratory fistula were cured. All have been followed up for one to twelve months. 3 cases died with carcinoma cachexia and one succumbed to severe hemorrahage of digestive tract. The other 18 cases are still followed up. Conclusions Placement of esophageal expandable stent is one of the ideal methods to treat benign and malignant esophageal stenosis and anastomotic leakage. It can also play an important role in the improvement of the patients' life quality and prolongation of life.
