Objective:To suggest approaches for the establishment of Chinese standards for defining rare disea-ses and advance corresponding Chinese legislation. Methods:By comparing the standards for defining rare diseases in Europe, the United States, and other countries and studying key influencing factors of standards, this paper proposes suggestions for the establishment of proper Chinese standards for defining rare. Results and Conclusion:Social and e-conomic development levels, medical development levels and social security levels influence the establishment of standards. It is recommended that the national conditions should be taken into consideration and the number of pa-tients, severity of the diseases and economic indicators of orphan drugs be used to define rare diseases in China.

Objective: To provide policy recommendations for improving price negotiation system of patented drugs in China. Methods: This paper comparatively analyzes the commonalities and characteristics between Korea’ and Germany’s price negotiation models for patented drugs from three aspects of their goals, procedures and effects. Results:The key objective of both Korea’ and Germany’s price negotiation systems for patented drugs is to efficiently improve the utilization of national health insurance services, and responsibilities are properly assigned among differ-ent institutions to ensure the equity and efficiency of negotiations. However, due to the differences in national cir-cumstances, there is a big difference in the selection of technical assessment criteria. Conclusion: This paper sug-gests China to strengthen the convergence between price negotiations for patented drugs and medical insurance reim-bursement policy, to establish a technical assessment system with the innovation extent for patented drugs as its core, and to develop scientific and rational negotiation procedures and division of responsibilities as well.

Objective To study effect of positive liver soup on serum leptin (LEP), adiponectin (ADP) and insulin resistance (IR) in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.Methods 68 cases of hepatitis B patients with cirrhosis according to randomized divided into the control group (34 cases) and treatment group (34 cases).Oral treatment administered to the control group (Inosine Tablets and vitamin C),treatment group in the control group based on liver soup treatment, treatment for 3 months, serum leptin (LEP),adiponectin (ADP) and insulin resistance (IR) index before and after treatment were detected.Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference between ADP and LEP in the control group and the treatment group.After 3 months of treatment, there was no significant difference between ADP and LEP level in control group, while the level of ADP and LEP in treatment group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and were significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in FPG, fasting insulin level and IRS index between the control group and the treatment group before treatment.After 3 months of treatment, the control group FPG, fasting insulin level and IRS index were not significantly different.FPG, fasting insulin and IRS index in the treatment group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Positive liver soup can reduce serum LEP, ADP level, and improve IR in treatment of hepatitis B liver cirrhosis.

Objective To analyze the mechanism of acute ischemic stroke in cancer patients. Methods The clinical TOAST type, laboratory examinations results, imaging examination results and pathology reports of the 96 patients with cancer and acute cerebral infarction were collected. Results According to TOAST mechanism, the main subtype was undetermined causes (41.67%, 40/96). Lung cancer took largest proportion (39.58%, 38/96). In the group of undetermined causes, adenocarcinoma was more common type than squamous. The imaging examination results could be classified into large artery type, large artery and small artery in same basin and multiple small arterys in different basins. We found the main type was multiple small arterys in different basins (52.50%, 21/40). The lever of D-dimer was high in our patients, especially in undetermined causes (P < 0.01). Conclusions Tumor-related acute cerebral infarction has its own uinque mechanism. Tumor is one kind of systemic diseases, which can promote thrombosis through increasing the lever of D-dimer. The cancer-related mechanism is the main mechanism underlying cancer- related stroke, and may become one of the most important mechanismsn in the pathogenesis of stroke in the near future.
