The measures recommended include advanced design, improvement of the quality of care and safety mechanism,incentives mechanism, mandatory enforcement of medical liability insurance to minimize risk exposure of such a practice, aiming at advancement of this practice.

Objective To explore the roles and related mechanisms of Protein Phosphatase 2A(PP2A) in cognitive dysfunction after the chronic cerebral ischemia.Methods 70 male Sprague Dawley rats in clean degree were divided into sham group,chronic cerebral ischemia group (Bilateral carotid arteries occlusion,2VO),and chronic cerebral ischemia group with PP2A activation group(2VO+aPP2A).The rats were injected intraperitoneally with 1.88 μmol/ml sodium selenate(15 μmol · kg-1 · d-1) or equal volume of saline for 4 weeks.After one month,the chronic cerebral ischemia models were reproduced by the occlusion of bilateral common caroid artery.Then the abilities of learning and memory were tested by Morris water maze,electrophysiological indices were recorded to analyze the LTP changes,and destribution of synaptic vesicles was observed by electron microscope.Results Morris water maze test showed that the 2VO group had significantly longer latent time than sham group in searching platform(P＜0.05),and the 2VO+aPP2A group had dramatically shorter latent time (P＜0.01) than that of 2VO group.Then removing platform to test the rats memory,the data showed that 2VO group spent markedly longer time than sham group to reach the location of the former platform (sham group:(14.50±1.98)s ; 2VO group:(17.30±2.11) s) (P＜0.01),and the 2VO+aPP2A group((15.09± 1.45) s) spent dramatically shorter latent time(P＜0.05) than that of 2VO group.The electrophysiological data showed that 2VO group had the noticeably smaller field excitable postsynaptic potential slope (fEPSP) slope ratio between pre and post of the high frequency stimulations (Long-term potential,LTP) than sham group(sham group:1.69±0.27; 2VO group:2.02±0.137) (P＜0.01),and the 2VO+aPP2A group(1.86±0.19) had strikingly higher ratio than that of 2VO group(P＜0.01).The electromicroscope observation showed that presynaptic vesicles density of 2VO was remarkably lower than that of sham group (sham group:(4.51±0.29) /μm2 ; 2VO group:(2.02±0.14) /μm2) (P＜0.01),and presynaptic vesicles density of 2VO+aPP2A group((3.58±0.50) /μm2) was noticeably higher than that of 2VO group(P＜0.01).Conclusion Activating PP2A can prevent the cognitive dysfunction after chronic cerebral ischemia through regulating LTP and synaptic vesicle density.And PP2A is probably a potential target for preventing and treating the cognitive dysfunction after chronic cerebral ischemia.

Objective To explore the antiemetic mechanism of propofol in patients subjected to laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ Ⅱ patients of either sex undergoing elective laporoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to three groups : control group (group C), ondansetron group (group O) and propofol group(group P) Anesthesia was induced with thiopental 5 7 mg?kg -1 and intubation was facilitated with succinylcholine 1 1.5mg?kg -1 In group C and O anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of 1 0% 1 5% isoflurane and intermittent bolus of vecuronium In group O ondansetron 4 mg was given intravenously before induction of anesthesia In group P anesthesia was maintained with continuous intravenous infusion of 1% propofol at a rate of 50 150 ?g?kg -1 ?min -1 and intermittent bolus of vecuronium At the end of operation neostigmine 1mg and atropine 0 5 mg were regularly given to antagonize the residual neuromuscular blockade Venous blood samples were taken before anesthesia (baseline), after intubation, at the end of operation and 6h after operation for determination of plasma motilin(MTL) level Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was assessed according to WHO standard in four grades from no nausea to severe vomiting with gastric content Results In group C the plasma MTL level at the end of operation was significantly higher than that before anesthesia (P

As introduced in the paper,Australian government subsidize the public hospitals with all their budget needs as compensation,with the two levels of governments constituting the largest buyer of health products and services in the country.In addition,the government supports the hospitals with their facilities.A rational government investment mechanism is proposed with reference to such a model for the ongoing reform of public hospitals in China.

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.

French hospital administrators have undergone several changes to meet the needs of economic and social development,resulting in the pattern of hospital administration by both the central government and regional organizations.This paper made descriptions and analysis of the French hospital administrators and came up with the following insights:Making public hospitals as the main health service provider benefits provision of public services; public and private hospitals can jointly meet public service needs under government regulation; the government should focus on controlling health care resources;medical service system needs an overall policy guidance; hospital management organizations should streamline in the reform.

This paper overviewed typical government compensation sources and practices for public hospitals in the world.Government compensation should be made based on regional health planning,while the central government shoulders greater compensation responsibility.The fee-for-case mix is found to be the best incentive The government adjusts its funding baselines for different hospitals to adjust the compensation.In view of the compensation for public hospitals in China,the paper analyzed the enlightenments and lessons from international experiences The authors recommend an evolution from the pattern of compensation per person/per bed,to payment by service unit or volume(for example,per outpatient or emergency visit and days of stay),and in the end to that of payment per disease.

Aim To observe the optimal temperature and optimal pH of uricase-catalase liposomes(UCALP) and free uricase(UAE), and study the abilities of UCALP to reduce uric acid and hydrogen peroxide in mice with hyperuricemia.Methods UCALP were prepared by reverse phase evaporation, optimal temperature and optimal pH of UCALP and UAE were determined, respectively.Mouse model of hyperuricemia was established by intraperitoneally injection of uric acid, and the model mice were intravenously injected UCALP and UAE, respectively, then the serum concentration of uric acid and hydrogen peroxide in mice at different time points were measured by the assay kits, respectively.Results Optimal temperature of UCALP and UAE was 40℃, and optimal pH was 8.0 and 8.5, respectively.UCALP could more significantly lower uric acid level of hyperuricemia mice than that of UAE, and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in UCALP group was lower than in UAE group.Conclusion UCALP can effectively decrease the level of uric acid and control the level of hydrogen peroxide in mice with hyperuricemia.
