OBJECTIVE:To investigate the rule for circulation system structure of drug market,and to analyze drug circulation costs.METHODS:The rules for macrostructure and microstructure of drug circulation were analyzed.The quantitative conception of circulation links(y),circulation extents(n),last nodes(m) and transaction relations were introduced and their relationship were investigate using mathematic model.The proportions of transaction relation in various sections were adopted to analyze circulation cost.RESULTS:There were rules for macrostructure and microstructure of drug circulation.The microstructure showed as a dendrogram circulation structure.Last nodes(m) and circulation extents(n) determinated circulation links(y),relationship between them was y=lnm/lnn.The proprotion of transaction relations in the last link was much higher than in the middle links.CONCLUTIONS:According to the mathematic model,transaction relations mainly concentrate in the last link.As a result it is not possible for us to cut down the quantity of transaction relations and the circulation costs through compaction of the middle links.

OBJECTIVE:To reveal the relationship between mark-up rate and false high price of drug and to study the formation mechanism of drug brokerage.METHODS:Based on the concrete condition,the ratio of circulation costs to production costs was analyzed with mathematical technology to establish price curve equation.The price base line and the formation mechanism of drug brokerage at condition of mark-up rate were analyzed.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:If the circulation costs had no elasticity and mark-up rate(?) was less than the ratio of circulation cost to production cost,there were three kinds of results:if price was determined according to the rule,drug had withdrawn from the market in view of unbalance of the circulation costs;false production costs induced the false high price of drug;brokerage of drugs were conducted.Theoretically the less the value of ? makes,the more false high price and brokerage of drug are.

Objective To develop and verify a reporter gene assay(RGA) for the detection of biological activity of human growth hormone(hGH).Methods The biological activity of hGH was evaluated by the expression of luciferase(Luc)activated by hGH binding to hGH receptor(hGHR) on HEK293/GH-Luc cell membrane.The developed detection conditions were as follows:the initial concentration of sample was 1 μg/mL;the cell inoculation amount was(2.45～2.66) × 10~4 cells/well;the sample was of 3-fold serial dilution,with a total of 8 dilutions and the incubation time was 18～24 h.The relative biological activity of the sample was calculated by measuring Luc intensity and comparing it with the national standard by four-parameter fitting.The developed method was verified for specificity,repeatability,intermediate precision,relative accuracy,linear range and durability.Results The excipient components in product and the serum components in culture medium showed no effect on the activity detection results;The geometric coefficient of variation(GCV) of relative titer of one batch of samples in six repeated detections was 6.794%,much lower than 20%.The relative titer GCV detected by two experimenters in different batches of samples at different times were both lower than 20%;The relative deviations of the relative titer determination values of samples at different concentrations were within ±12%,the slope of linear regression equation was 0.982,the linear range was 0.6～1.6 μg/mL,and the coefficient of determination(R~2) was 0.997;The GCV of three batches of stock solutions and one batch of finished products were 4.758%,4.430%,7.294% and 2.771% respectively under the conditions of different cell generation,cell density and sampling location,all of which were less than 20%.Conclusion The developed RGA showed good specificity,repeatability,intermediate precision,relative accuracy,linear range and durability,which met the application requirements and was expected to replace the traditional in vivo biological activity detection methods for the activity evaluation and quality control of hGH.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic arthritis, mainly suffering the middle and elderly patients, and it is the main cause of arthralgia and articular functional disturbance. Studies have suggested that osteophyte formation was closely con?nected with the development of OA due to the stabilization of suffered joints and arthralgia induced by osteophytes. In tissue con?stitution and pathology, osteophyte is made up of bone, cartilage and connective tissue, stemming from MSCs. With the develop?ment of osteophytes, the proportion of bone increases while the proportion of cartilage and connective tissue decreases. What's more, in promotion factors of osteophytes, osteophyte formation was induced by the biomechanical and biochemical factors and their both effect. The biomechanical factors result from imbalance of articular biomechanics induced by cartilaginous degeneration and ligament trauma. And the biochemical factors result from alteration of articular microenvironment induced by metabolic disor?der of chondrocytes and synovitis. Furthermore, the both effects that the biomechanical factors induces biochemical alterations al?so co?promote osteophyte formation. And studies on the mechanism indicated that osteophyte formation was regulated by several signaling pathways and cytokines. TGF?β superfamily and Hedgehog signaling pathway were involved in modulating osteophyte formation. TGF?βand BMPs modulated the initiation and late stage of osteophyte formation respectively. And Hedgehog signaling pathway regulated the osteophyte formation with modulating the hypertrophy of chondral osteophytes. This paper emphatically re?views the development and mechanism of osteophytes in OA for deeply understanding the OA and bringing new ideas and methods for the precaution and treatment of OA.

The paper presents a summary of theories on the impact of health on economy and makes an empirical analysis of the impact from three aspects,viz.health and economic development,health and personal income,and health and economic growth.In light of economic development in the past and studies in recent years of the relationship between health human capital,personal income and economic development in micro and macro economics,the paper argues that health human capital has contributed to the rise of personal income by improving individual labor market performance and has directly promoted economic growth by constituting a form of investment.

Objective To assess the ability of the new software SonoAVC to measure follicular volume and to compare these volume calculations with those made by conventional methods. Methods Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging was used to acquire volumetric data from the ovaries of 50 women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation as part of in-vitro fertilization treatment. SonoAVC was used to automatically measure the volume of follicles and virtual organ computer-aided analysis(VOCAL) was also applied to measure volume, which was used as the standard of volume measurement. And the three perpendicular diameters (xyz diameters) of follicles were manually measured by conventional two-dimensional(2D) ultrasound, which were used to estimate volume using the sphere formula. And the validity of each technique was compared using limits of agreement. Results One hundred and seventy-six follicles were studied. SonoAVC and VOCAL provided highly accurate and repeatable follicular volume measurements in all cases. Volumes estimated from manually derived follicular diameter measurements were less accurate and repeatable. VOCAL took more time in follicular volume of measurement than SonoAVC and conventional 2D displays. Conclusions SonoAVC provides highly accurate, repeatable,and efficient measurements of follicular volume.
