In medical equipment purchasing process, massive non-price factors' influences conduce to quite quantities of risks in the medical equipment purchase. To control the risks,this paper proposes the project management, the supplier management, the equipment traceability management and related suggestions. Management on purchaser is also discussed, which mainly includes professional stress analysis and the countermeasures research.

AIM: To observe the effect of tranilast on experimental COPD rats in terms of airway remodeling. METHODS: Forty eight SD rats were divided into two groups in random: untreated model group, tranilast-treated group. Another eight rats were selected as control group. The COPD rat model was established by passive smoking and intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and then treated with sterile saline or tranilast (400 mg?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 ) respectively. Eight rats in each group were killed in 7th, 14th, 28th day after the beginning of proceeding. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected, and the total and differential cells were counted. The distribution and the ratio of type I to type III collagen in the lung tissue were determined using a sirius red polarizing microscopy morphometry method. Lung tissues were observed by hemotoxylin and eosin stain, then the image analysis were made. RESULTS: The total cells and the AM ratio in BALF of tranilast-treated group significantly decreased in comparison with those in model group (P

From the aspects of advantages, barriers, opportunities and challenges, this paper analyzed the environmental factors of Shanghai medical resources serving people in the Pan-Yangtze River Delta. As envisaged by the author, such services will provide medical resources information to patients from outside Shanghai, probe into feasible ways to medical insurance based on experiences drawn from serving such patients, help with the resources integration of medical systems in Shanghai, and probe into the potentials of telemedicine and distant medical e-learning, as well as improve hospital management levels and service functionality.

Bile acid can not only emulsify fat and facilitate the absorption of fat soluble substances,but also it is an important signaling molecules that plays an important physiological role by activating specific bile acid receptors.Takeda G proteincoupled receptor 5 (TGRS) is a membrane receptor of the bile acid,it can activate G-protein effectors and promote the expression of the second messenger and activate a variety of signal transduction pathways to exert physiological functions.The obstructive jaundice bile acid can cause a series of pathophysiological reactions through activating TGR5,which plays a significant role in the obstructive jaundice.In this article,the latest researches about the function and molecular mechanism of TGR5 in obstructive jaundice were reviewed in order to provide a new idea for exploring the new method and strategy to cure the disease.

Objective] To explore the treatment of Lanshi Micang disease with tumors related diagnosis and treatment method, in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of anal fistula, so as to broaden the mind, improve the clinical efficacy. [Method] FromLanshi Micang-Anal Fistulaof eight prescriptions for treatment of hemorrhoids and analysis, on the basis of combining the characteristics of compatibility with tumors inDongyuan effect testand the specific prescription, made analysis of anal fistula, diagnosis and treatment of anal fistula for the study of LI Dongyuan thought. [Results] LI Dongyuan from dampness, heat, wind, dryness four on the treatment of anal fistula, with angelica, Gentiana and blood dryness of medicine, to Shufeng pain, Xinrun and blood on regulation of syndrome treatment, paid attention to diet to restore the anal fistula. [Conclusion] LI DongyuanLanshi Micangis rich in content, the treatment of anal fistula has experience, as of today, the diagnosis and treatment on anorectal diseases of clinical thought still has important guiding significance.

Objective To investigate the histogenesis and clinicopathologic features of carcinosarcoma of the urinary bladder. Methods Two cases of carcinosarcoma (one man and one woman)were included.They were admitted to hospital with discontinuous,painless,macroscopic hematuria.Clinicopathalogic features of all findings of the 2 cases were reviewed. Results Cystoscopy of both cases showed that the tumors displayed polypous or cauliflower-like shape,and grew invassively.CT examination of the bladder wall confirmed the presence of parenchymatous tumor.Both of the 2 cases underwent partial cystectomy.Intraoperative examination showed the tumors were similar to carcinoma of bladder.Histopathology showed biphasic neoplasms with distinct high grade epithelial and mesenchymal components.Morphologic characteristic of the tumor was abnormally proliferative and the mitotic figures could be seen.One of the patients died within 11 months and the other,16 months following the operation. Conclusions Carcinosarcoma of the urinary bladder is a kind of rare malignant tumor that is most often in an advanced stage at presentation and has an unfavorable prognosis. It should be identified promptly and treated appropriately.Those who have discontinuous,painless,macroscopic hematuria should be warned of the risk of the disease.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs(TCMH) on benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH) and their influence on proliferation and apoptosis of prostate cells in experimental mice. Methods A total of 120 male Kunming mice(weight,30 to 40 g)were randomly divided into 5 groups:①normal control group;②hyperplastic group;③normal saline(NS)(negative control)group;④TCMH group;⑤finasteride (positive control) group.Each group included 24 mice.The mice in normal control group were killed and their prostates were weighed.The BPH model was induced by implanting the urogenital sinus in the mice in other 4 groups.In the 61st day,the prostate weight of the mice in hyperplastic group was examined after they were killed;and the mice in the remaining groups were fed with NS,TCMH and finasteride,respectively.In the 91st day,the mice in these 3 groups were killed and their prostates were weighed.The proliferation and apoptosis of the prostate cells of mice in the 3 groups were determined by flow cytometry(FCM). Results The prostates in hyperplastic group [(149.30?8.46)mg] were heavier than those in TCMH group [(85.60?17.97)mg] ( P 0.05). Conclusions The TCMH has a significant therapeutic effects on experimental mice with BPH.The mechanisms may be as follows:TCMH can regulate the relevant genes of the prostate cells so that they can promote the apoptosis of the prostate cells and as a result,the volume and weight of the prostate of the mice are reduced.

[Objective]To verify whether or not the modified open-door laminoplasy preserving semispinalis cervicis insert into axis is effective in preventing postoperative axial symptom and maintaining postoperative cervical sagittal alignment.[Method]Since March 2002 to December 2003,forty-eight patients underwent modified open-door laminoplasy preserving semispinalis cervicis insert into Axis,among them,thirty-two patients who were followed up for more than 2 years were included in this study.Preoperative and postoperative JOA score,degree of axial symptom,ranges of neck motion,cervical curvature index were recorded and compared.[Result]Preoperative and postoperative JOA score was(9.04?2.9)and(12.5?3.1)respectively,with recovery rate as(44.9?26.9).There was significant difference between preoperative evident axil symptom rate(46.8%)and postoperative evident axil symptom rate(18.7%),while no significant difference between preoperative and postoperative ranges of neck motion,cervical curvature index was seen.[Conclusion]Modified open-door laminoplasy is less invasive to the posterior extensor mechanism especially the semispinalis cervicis than conventional open-door laminoplasy.This new procedure is effective in preventing postoperative morbidities often seen after conventional laminoplasy with adequate decompression of the spinal cord.
