ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To study the m edical insurance budget impact analysis （BIA）guidelines or nomative documents of some European countries ，and to provide the suggestions for the formulation and implementation of medical insurance BIA guidelines in China. METHODS ：Medical insurance BIA guidelines or related documents in European countries such as Ireland ， France，Poland，Belgium and UK were retrieved to summarize and comparatively analyze the general analysis framework and special specification. The formulation of medical insurance BIA guideline in China and the suggestions were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ：The above-mentioned medical insurance BIA guidelines or documents of the five European countries generally study the impact of the cost of health technology on resources within 3-5 years from the perspective of budget holders. The analysis framework of the guidelines or documents is basically the same ，but the guidelines or documents are adjusted according to the characteristics of national health system in terms of the positioning of medical insurance BIA ，the scope of cost data inclusion ， model design ，population subgroup analysis and so on. For example ，Ireland had special requirements on cost data inclusion ， sensitivity analysis and data source ，while France had detailed regulations on medical insurance BIA model ，sensitivity analysis and presentation of medical insurance BIA results. Our country should pay attention to the role of medical insurance BIA in medical and health decision-making ，formulate China ’s medical insurance BIA guidelines to standardize empirical research ，and combine the characteristics of China ’s health system when formulate the guideline. It is suggested that China ’s medical insurance BIA guidelines should at least include research perspective ，research time limit and discount ，reference situation ，target population ， cost，market share ，data source ，uncertainty analysis and other overall framework or basic elements to ensure the smooth operation of medical and health funds.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To construc t the evaluation system of the research quality of medical insurance budget impact analysis （BIA），and to provide feasible evaluation tool for related departments as medical insurance department. METHODS ：Based on BIA guidance documents and relevant empirical literatures of ISPOR ，Canada，Poland，the United States and other countries ， combined with expert interview ，the relevant elements of medical insurance negotiation BIA material were confirmed （including key elements and adjuctive elements ）. The scale and system was established to calculate total score of BIA research quality evaluation. RESULTS ：Key elements included three data blocks as target population ，market situation and treatment cost ，involving 14 key elements such as total population ，new drug scenario market share ，treatment cost ，etc.. According to the degree of compliance，0-3 points were assigned and the lowest score after normalization was taken as the basic score of BIA research quality. The adjunctive elements included five data blocks as title & abstract ，research background ，analysis framework ，result presentation and other ，including 23 adjunctive elements such as title ，abstract，research angle ，research time limit ，etc.. According to whether there is quality grade difference ，the elements were divided into type A and type B ；the grade score （0-4 points）and 0/1 score（1 point for yes and 0 point for no ）were used respectively ，and the additional score of BIA research quality was obtained after calculation and addition. According to the addition of different weights （0.67 and 0.33）of basic score and additional score ，the total score system of BIA research quality evaluation could be calculated. CONCLUSIONS ：This study successfully constructed a new BIA quality evaluation system ，which can be used for the quality evaluation of BIA research submitted by medical insurance drug negotiation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the auditory brainstem response (ABR) of normal adult CBA,C57BL,Kunming and 129 mice and analyze the ABR thresholds and latencies in order to obtain normal values and standardized testing process,thereby providing important reference for future auditory hearing research in mouse.Methods Six -week-old normal mice of CBA,C57BL,Kunming and 129(each strain containing 20 ears of 20 mice) were used in this study.ABR test with both the click and tone burst were carried on.The incidence of each wave and the thresholds and latencies of various strains of mice were recorded.Results For these four strains of mice,wave Ⅱ had the highest occurrence rate and was used to determine the thresholds.Four strains of mice all were sensitive to the sound at 8,12,16 kHz,most to 12 kHz.Under anesthesia condition,the latency of each ABR wave prolonged as testing time increase,especially the waves Ⅲ ～ V which reflected the functions of the part near the cerebral center.Conclusion Under anesthesia state,for these four strains of mice,wave Ⅱ has the highest occurrence rate and is used to determine the threshold.We determine the intensity level at which Wave Ⅱ just appeared as the ABR threshold.The stain of CBA mice is the best one to establish an animal model related to hearing function research because ABR of the other three strains are not stable as the CBA mice.Wave SP can reflect the hair cell functions indirectly.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the click and tone burst evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABR)in normal Wistar rat,and to establish the standards of ABR testing method,and to provide a reference for studies rat audition.Methods Fifteen male Wistar rats(30 ears)were used in this sutdy.The latency and amplitude of ABR e-voked by click and TB at 80,50 and 20 dB SPL were measured.Results The occurrence rate of wave Ⅱand Ⅳat low levels(20 dB SPL)was nearly the same according to the amplitude.The cABR (dB peSPL)threshold was 21.83± 4.45 and tbABR (dB SPL)thresholds were 2.02±0.09,2.88±0.16,3.77±0.25,4.69±0.29,and 5.78±0.41, respectively.80 dB stimulus evoked cABR (peSPL)wave I,I b,II,III,IV and V latency (ms)were 1.76±0.12, 2.13±0.11,2.67±0.16,3.49±0.28,4.39±0.29,and 5.45±0.41,respectively.tbABR (SPL)of wave I,Ib, II,III,IV and V latency (ms)at 4 kHz were 2.02±0.09,2.88±0.16,3.77±0.25,4.69±0.29,and 5.78± 0.41,respectively.At 8 kHz they were 1.76±0.07,2.28±0.10,2.63±0.16,3.49±0.21,4.44±0.28,and 5.48±0.43;while at 12 kHz were1.76±0.08,2.24±0.12,2.61±0.25,3.53±0.25,4.46±0.32,and 5.52± 0.45;at 16 kHz were 1.79±0.10,2.25±0.12,2.70±0.18,3.62±0.27,4.52±0.37,and 5.61±0.49;at 24 kHz were 1.75±0.09,2.27±0.11,2.67±0.16,3.60±0.27,4.52±0.38,and 5.60±0.51;at 32 kHz were 1.77±0.10,2.24±0.12,2.64±0.20,3.59±0.34,4.52±0.40,and 5.61±0.52,respectively.Conclusion Wave Ⅳ was the best wave to determine threshold of click and tone burst evoked auditory brainstem response in rat.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density and/or poor bone microarchitecture leading to an increased risk of fractures. Oral manifestations can be frequently discovered in osteoporosis patients. Osteoporosis therapies have mostly relied on antiresorptive drugs. Parathyroid hormone plays a significant role in osteogenesis and calcium deposition. Intermittent exposure to parathyroid hormone has been widely proved to lead to a net increase in bone formation. OBJECTIVE: To discuss the possibly celular and molecular mechanism of parathyroid hormone in strengthening the bone mineral density and regulating bone formation. METHODS: An online search of CNKI and Medline databases was performed for relevant articles using keywords of “parathyroid hormone; osteoporosis; osteoblast; osteogenesis” in Chinese and English, respectively. Relevant articles were summarized from three aspects: effects of parathyroid hormone on differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts, effects of parathyroid hormone on osteoblast apoptosis, and the relationship of parathyroid hormone with Wnt/beta-catenin pathway and other cytokines. According to inclusion criteria, 41 articles were retained at last. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Parathyroid hormone exerts an effect on parathyroid hormone type I receptor, triggering a classic G protein signaling pathway. Parathyroid hormone mainly works through protein kinase A signaling pathway, adjusting its downstream c-reactive protein. Intermittent use of parathyroid hormone can increase osteoblast proliferation, increase osteoblast runx2 and osteocalcin at mRNA and protein levels, inhibit osteoblast apoptosis by against oxidative stress, so as to promote osteogenesis.
