Discussion on the collaborative dilemmas and integrated mode of family bed service in China / 中华医院管理杂志

In recent years, the aging process of China′s population has accelerated, and the number of disabled people has skyrocketed. It is urgent to improve the health benefits of family bed services. The author found that there was a lack of synergy in policies, service subjects and content, and service concepts in the practical process of family bed services in various regions of China, which limited the effectiveness of services. The author put forward the theoretical framework of integrated family bed service, combined the service practice experience of six cities, namely Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Nanjing and Hohhot, and put forward specific suggestions on building integrated family bed service. Among them, department collaboration could be the source power of system integration, institutional linkage could improve service continuity, service concept and incentive mechanism could promote each other, and modern technology could promote functional integration.

ESTIMATION OF STATURE FROM LONG BONES OF CHINESE MALE ADULTS IN SOUTH-WEST DISTRICT / 解剖学报

From recent collection of 40 male adult cadavers from Chungking, the authors caIculated the coefficient of correlation between the average lengths of long bones of both sides and the stature measured from the cadavers. The figures range from 0.719～0.849, which denote a rather high degree of correlation. Hence, 10 regression formulae were computed. After a thorough analysis of the equations, it indicates that the relationship between stature and long bones of the lower limb reveals a higher coefficient of correlation and a lower standard error of estimation than that from the upper limb. Moreover, the reconstruction of stature from the sum of the lengths of femur and tibia (or fibula) appears still more reliable than that from the femur alone. The regression formulae obtained had been compared with the only data thus far found on the North China sample (Stevenson, 1929),it exhibits that all regression lines of both sources parallel with each other (Chungking lines being placed a little bit lower), with the exception of the two humerus lines which intersect. Therefore, whether regression formulae computed from this paper can be expected to give an approximation to reality in different districts of China or not demands further checking over with figures derived from the stature estimate made in different localities by the same method.
