1.Study on the Principal Component of Out of Pocket Expenditure Ratio
Chinese Health Economics 2017;36(5):40-44
Objective:To compare and analyze the changes and the influencing factors of out of pocket(OOP) expenditure before and after the new medical reform.Methods:2000-2015 time series data was used to compare the changes of OOP in different years.The cross-section data was applied to compare the OOP of China and other countries.The principle component analysis method was used to research the contribution rates of different factors for the OOP ratio changes.Result:According to the vertical comparison,it found that the OPP ratio showed steady decreasing trend.The horizontal comparison found that there were great gap for OOP ratios of China and other countries.The per capita GDP,under five mortality and proportion over 65 years were significant factors for OOP.Conclusion:The OOP ratio still needed to be devreased,which needed to promote the economic growth,implement medical insurance system,improve the public health input and decrease the health economic burden for residents.

Objective To investigate the variation of chemical characteristics with environmental factors and establish a relationship betweem morphological characters and chemical composition of Prunella vulgaris collected in different areas of China.Methods Twelve phenotypic traits and three chemical compositions were assessed in 28 populations of P.vulgaris collected from different locations in China.Results The variability ranges observed at phenotypic and chemical levels were polymorphic.According to the morphological traits,28 populations of P.vulgaris could be grouped into six clusters,and two morpho-types could be clearly distinguished.Perceptible differences could be discerned in the plant height,leaf length,corolla length,calyx length,fruiting spikes length,and maturity period.Based on three kinds of components including ursolic acid,total flavonoids,and total polysaccharides,all populations could be identified as four types.Cluster Ⅳ showing high content of ursolic acid,total flavonoids,and total polysaccharides could be utilized to develop superior derivatives.Conclusion The variation of chemical characteristics is influenced by the genetic and environmental factors,such as soil,climate,longitude,and altitude.It provides a solid basis for efficiently evaluating qualities and establishing good agricultural practices for P.vulgaris.

Objective To investigate the correlation of Bax and apoptosis in enterocytes of neonatal rats with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).Methods Forty-eight neonatal rats (1 day) were randomly divided into control group (n =24) and NEC model group (n =24) by use of odd and even.The rats in control group were maternal breast-fed.The rats in NEC model group were separated from their mothers.To be given formula feeding,cold exposure after hypoxic-reoxygenation treatment.The intestinal tissue located at the boundary of ileum and caecum of two groups were gained on the 24 h,48 h and 72 h with which that all rats were sacrificed by cutting neck.Section of intestinal tissue were stained with immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of Bax and were stained with TdT mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) to evaluate the apoptosis in each group.Results The integrate optical density (IOD) value of expression of Bax in the NEC model group began to increase on the 24 h [(1 005.06-± 11.96) IOD] and reached the summit on the 72 h [(3 340.66 ±68.72)] compared with the control group[(666.55 ± 15.77)IOD].A few of TUNEL positive cells began to increase with time dependence.A lot of TUNEL positive cells could be found in NEC model group on the 24 h [(15.04 ± 0.24) %],and the apoptotic index reached the peak on the 72 h [(35.65 ±0.61) %] compared with the control group[(4.73 ±0.04) %,P <0.01]-There was a significantly positive correlation between the cell apoptosis and the ratio change of Bax in NEC model group (r =0.94,P < 0.01).Conclusion There is a significantly positive correlation between the cell apoptosis and the ratio change of Bax in enterocytes of neonatal rats with NEC.The cell apoptosis in enterocytes of neonatal rats with NEC maybe be induced by Bax.

Objective In order to test and improve the monitoring technical level and ability of radiation environmental monitoring network in Zhejiang Province, ensure the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data and information, and obtain the cosmic ray response values of instruments and equipment in this year. Methods In September 2018,an intercomparison meeting of environmental gamma radiation air absorbed dose rate within the radiation environmental monitoring network of Zhejiang province was held in Ningbo,which was organized by Zhejiang Province Radiation Environmental Monitoring Center.A total of 33 sets of instruments from 15 member units participated in the intercomparison measurements at 5 environmental measuring points, and the comparison results were evaluated by the Z score values. Results It was found that the |Z| of all measurement results were less than or equal to 2, and the evaluation results were satisfactory and acceptable. Conclusion The measured data of scintillation counters have relatively wider dispersion,and the high pressure ionization chambers have bigger response valuetocosmic ray. The measurement results of the two kinds of instruments keep a good linearity except for the measurement points of cosmic ray response.
