1.Solidarity as a system design element for the European health care system and its trend
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2016;9(1):52-57
Solidarity is the foundation of European health care and policy. However, it is constantly discussed by the new concept of personal responsibility, liberalism and privatization. In some European countries, out of pocket money was used more because of the limited resources which indeed weakened the solidarity, an element which con-sistently marks the difference among the European Union countries, and the main source of European political com-mitment and accountability associated with health. In the universal health care reform tide, the European government restrains its power in detailed operation on the health care and pharmaceuticals delivery, medical insurance design, and health resource allocation, but this is done through more specific supervision to ensure solidarity in health care system.
2.Governance on priority setting of health resource allocation:International research review and its implication for China
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2014;(11):24-29
Priority setting of health resource allocation depends on effective and comprehensive government-based stewardship, the national research of which lacks comprehensive considerations. The paper articulates the trend of western research from solo economic analysis to a combined comprehension of political economies, systemic con-straints and health financing, to consider the scope, strategy and enforced framework for government rationing within a larger organizational and political context. In the health decision-making practice, the best formula for interdiscipli-nary tools is a test of stewardship capacity. A multi-disciplinary approach from the perspectives of politics, health e-conomies, philosophy, law and evidence-based medicine must be adopted for the priority setting of health resource al-location. Finally, a clear stewardship phased objective is proposed as well as strategies, with emphasis on health de-cisions from “stewardship as structure” to “stewardship as a process” with challenges that lie ahead.
3.Fairness Evaluation Analysis on Pubic Health Resource Allocation in China:Empirical Analysis Based on the Benchmarks of Fairness Analysis
Chinese Health Economics 2014;(1):32-34
Objective:To evaluate the China’s fairness of health resource distribution in recent years. Methods: Index of priority for health services (IPHS)and index of resources distribution ( IRD) were applied to test the allocation status of health resources with the horizon and vertical comparison analysis. Result: With the development of new health care reform, the public health service gradually improves and the basic health needs are further satisfied. The unfair distribution kept the same among different regions, and the provincial health supply and demand are not matched. Conclusion: Public health resource allocation should keep focus on reducing the divergence from rural-urban dichotomy and narowing inter-provincial gaps.
4.Review on the regulation of traditional Chinese healthcare institutions
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2017;10(7):47-52
Healthy China 2030 projected to accelerate the development of health care services, but the healthcare industry in China is still in the early stages of development, and is currently threatened by the lack of the relevant legislation, industry regulations and government supervision.The current plight of supervision on traditional Chinese health care consists of the following factors, lack of legislative guarantee, the overlap between the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and traditional Chinese health care services blurred the supervision scope, no unified standards of Chinese health care service industry, low cost of illegal misconduct, regulatory fragmentation without substantive supervision.Based on the domestic and foreign experience, the following recommendations were put forward: Strengthening government supervision of the whole process of the Chinese medicine health care, clearly identifying the monitoring and the main supervision responsibility by legislation, screening the pseudo-information and enhance public Chinese medicine literacy, improving the self-regulation and self-supervision, and a variety of innovated government led supervision methods should be elaborated and put into practice, such as grid monitoring, classification management, establishment of credibility system, joint supervision, and so on.
5.Endoscopic axillary lymph node dissection without liposuction
Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Surgery 2005;0(09):-
Objective To discuss the feasibility of endoscopic axillary lymph node dissection by using balloon dilatation.Methods Seven patients with breast cancer from June 2005 to October 2005 were studied.Methylene blue injection around the areola or the tumor in combination with balloon placement in the axilla was performed to create surgical space for further endoscopic axillary lymph node dissection.Results The number of resected lymph nodes was 9~17(mean,12.3).No crushed lymph node was found.Positive lymph nodes were found in 4 patients.The operation time was 95~140 min(mean,114.3 min).The axillary vein and other important anatomic structures were clearly exposed.There was no edema of the upper limbs or other complications in the axillary area.No recurrence was noted during a follow-up survey for 2~6 months(mean,4.6 months).Conclusions Endoscopic axillary lymph node dissection can be performed after the establishment of surgical space by using balloon dilatation.

7.Cerebral microbleed and vascular cognitive impairment
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;20(2):152-155
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is a cognitive impairment caused by cerebrovascular disease and its risk factors,its mechanism is very complex Recent studies have shown that cerebral microbleed (CMB) is correlated with VCI.This article reviews the relationship between CMB and VCI.
8.Progress in research on antioxidants and obesity
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 1986;0(04):-
It has been reported that the level of antioxidants is lower in obese patients compared with that in normal weight subjects. Important antioxidants, vitamin E and ?-carotene, are lowered in obese adults and children, which may cause lipid super oxidation and are associated with atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. Copper and zinc are trace elements that compose parts of enzymes such as CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) which can scavenge free radicals. Plasma copper and zinc levels are lowered in obese individuals, which may lead to abnormality in glucose metabolism.
9.Pharmacological effects and application of caffeine
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(03):-
Caffeine is a major ingredient of daily beverages including coffee, tea, coca-cola, et al, as well as one of most widely used drugs in the world. Caffeine is the stimulant of central nervous system and has positive effect on cardiovascular system. Moreover, it is able to promote secretion of gastric acid and alleviate migraine. It also play the wide-ranging roles in the other systems of the body. So, making a thorough investigation on caffeine not only has clinical significances, but also give a beneficial guide to the health and life. This review aims at highlighting the pharmacological effects of caffeine and exploring the relationship between the body and caffeine.
