There is a high degree of information asymmetry in medical services.Public hospitals are characteristic of the nature of multi-layer principal-agent relationships.Asymmetric information can lead to inconsistent value goals between the principal and the agent,giving birth to the government regulation capture as a result.Such capture ranks a fundamental cause for diluted public welfare nature of public hospitals.To offset such capture at public hospitals calls for reconstruction of government regulation system within the framework of public hospital corporate governance at an institution level.It is also necessary to eliminate the information asymmetry and its negative results,bringing public hospitals back on track to public welfare.

40 weeks old SHR did not differ from that in slices of age matched WKY. B max was increased in the same brain region of SHR when compared to WKY. That rats of 4 5 weeks were in prehypertensive stage;rats of 10 12 weeks and above were at the stage of establishing hypertensive stage. Conclusion: The difference between SHR and normotensive rats in 5 HT 1A receptor binding in various brain regions may be related to the development of hypertension. When blood pressure changes,binding capacity of 5 HT 1A receptor in CNS changes accordingly.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for adult severe tetanus by comparing the NLR in patients with severe and mild tetanus.Methods:A total of 65 adult tetanus patients from the Linyi Central Hospital from January 2009 to December 2020 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups including mild group and severe group according to the Ablett classification. The general conditions, laboratory data, and NLR of patients in two group were retrospectively compared using independent samples t test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used for the analysis of risk factors for severe tetanus. Spearman correlation method was used for the analysis of the correlation between risk factors and Ablett grades. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used for the evaluation of the predictive value. Results:Among the 65 tetanus cases, 34 was in mild group and 31 in severe group. The latency period of patients in severe group was (7.00±3.19) d, which was shorter than that in mild group ((9.18±2.59) d), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.03, P=0.004). The NLR of patients in severe group was 4.251±1.936, which was higher than that of mild group (2.533±1.026) , and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.41, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NLR and latency period were independent risk factors for tetanus severity (odds ratio ( OR)=2.359, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.415 to 3.934, P=0.001 and OR=0.748, 95% CI 0.599 to 0.936, P=0.011, respectively). In tetanus patients, the NLR level was positively correlated with Ablett grade ( r=0.644, P<0.001). The ROC curve showed that NLR had good predictive value for adult severe tetanus at a cut-off value of 2.471 (area under the curve (AUC)=0.787), with the sensitivity and specificity of 87.1% and 61.8%, respectively. When combining NLR with latency period (cut-off value of 7.5 d), predictive efficiency was further improved (AUC=0.832) with the sensitivity of 87.1% and specificity of 67.6%( Z=3.43, P<0.001). Conclusions:NLR has a good predictive value for adult severe tetanus, and the predictive efficiency is further improved when combined with latency period.

Objective To investigate the training process of clinical practice ability in medical undergraduates in the context of tutorial system,as well as new clinical training models and evaluation methods.Methods A total of 40 medical undergraduates who entered the stage of clinical practice were randomly divided into tutorial group and control group,with 20 undergraduates in each group.A diversified evaluation system was used to perform a comprehensive evaluation of clinical practice ability of medical undergraduates at different stages,with a combination of professional theory examination,Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise,Direct Observation of Procedural Skills,and clinical case report.All the data were analyzed by SPSS 23.0,t test was used for statistical analysis.Results Compared with the control group after the internship ended,the tutorial group had significantly higher scores of clinical professional theory (86.24 ± 2.93),clinical practice ability (7.53 ± 0.48),clinical operation skills (4.35 ± 0.47),and clinical thinking ability (6.31 ± 0.52) (all P<0.05).Conclusion The application of the tutorial training mode during the internship of medical undergraduates can improve their comprehensive qualities such as professional quality,medical theory,and practical skills.The diversified evaluation system can evaluate the teaching effect and reflect the cultivation of comprehensive quality among students.
