ABSTRACT
Based on an analysis of the compensation policy and its problems of the primary medical and health institutions, this paper put forward the corresponding reform framework in Zhejiang province. It proposed to change the compensation policy of " predefining revenue and expenditure, subsidizing its gap after performance appraisal" into " a mixed system of special subsidy and pay for performance". Related policies were also described including governmental functions, special subsidies for input-based payments, classified payments for output services, precautions against financial risks, etc. This paper also suggested that we focus on dealing with the six pairs of balance, such as that between subsidy for the supply and demand sides, and that between internal market and external market.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the medical service capacity of primary healthcare in Zhejiang province since the ongoing healthcare reform and put forward suggestions. Methods Key indicators of healthcare resources and medical service utilization from 2009 to 2015 reflecting the primary healthcare were identified,for a quantitative analysis in terms of the structure-process-outcome dimensions. Results In terms of structural service capacity,the average headcount growth rate of primary healthcare′s technical personnel was 5. 7% per year; the personnel competence structure kept improving; the hospital beds at primary institutions and their ratio among all were slightly decreased,with better devices and informatization. In terms of procedural service capacity,the proportion of primary institutions with contract-based services amounted to 89. 9%,with the standard contract signing rate up to 18. 8%. In terms of consequential service capacity,the average growth rate of the number of outpatient visits at primary institutions was 6. 3%. The amount and proportion of inpatients were slightly decreased,while the hospital bed utilization ratio was increased slightly. Conclusions It is necessary to further strengthen the training and introduction of primary healthcare professionals. The functional orientation of hospitals at various levels should be clarified, encouraging contract-signing of general practitioners, promote the medical insurance payment reform featuring the capitation payment at primary level,and improve the income distribution and incentive mechanism.
ABSTRACT
The control handles( including financing, provider payment, organization, regulation and behavior) proposed by World Bank in health policy research as the basic framework,and the nature and positioning of family doctors′ contract-based service as the precondition, we recommended the system framework of such a mechanism, comprising one contract, three regulations, five control handles and seven supporting policies. Such a framework can serve as the cornerstone for family doctors′ contract-based service experiment in Zhejiang province for the sake of hierarchical medical system.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of transrectal ultrasound guided transurethral balloon dilation of the prostate (TUDP) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods A total of 23 men with BPH who had undergone TUDP were retrospectively analyzed,including 16 men with indwelling urinary catheters before the operation.During the TUDP,the prostatic apex and membranous urethra were dilated by inner balloon,and the prostatic urethra and bladder neck were dilated by outer balloon.The patients were followed up at the 1st,3rd,6th and 12th month after the operation,and the observation parameters included subjective symptoms,such as international prostatic symptom score (IPSS) and quality of life (QOL) score,and objective parameters,such as maximum flow rate (Qmax) and post-void residual (PVR).Results The operation time was 30-165 min,and the intraoperative hemorrhage volume was 5-50 ml.The IPSS scores at 1st,3rd,6th and 12th month after the operation were 10.4± 4.2,8.7±3.2,9.5±4.6 and 8.3±1.5 respectively,which were significantly decreased in comparison to the IPSS score (22.0±7.2) before the operation (P＜0.05).The QOL scores at 1st,3rd,6th and 12th month after the operation were 2.1±1.1,1.6±1.0,1.8±1.1 and 1.6±1.0 respectively,which were significantly improved in comparison to the QOL score (4.9±0.9) before the operation (P＜0.05).The Qmax at 1st,3rd,6th and 12th month after the operation were (10.5±3.4),(12.4±4.2),(10.9±3.9) and (12.7±4.6) ml/s respectively,which were significantly increased in comparison to the Qmax(1.9± 1.9 ml/s) before the operation (P＜0.05).There were 5,4,2 cases of urinary incontinence at the 1st,2nd and 3rd month after the operation,but they recovered at the 4th month follow-up.Besides,there were 3 cases suffered from epididymitis.Conclusion Transrectal ultrasound guided TUDP is a safe,effective and cheap option for the treatment of BPH,especially for the primary hospitals.

ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the clinical effects of tongxinluo an d nitroglycerin in patients with congestive heart failure(CHF).METHODS: 112 CHF patients were assigned to the treatment group (60 cases) and the control group (52 cases) randomly.The patients in the control group were treat ed with nitroglycerin and routine general therapy, and those in the treatment gr oup were administrated with tongxinluo 3 capsules after each of three meals besi des nitroglycerin and routine general therapy. The echocardiography, hemorheolo gy and clinical examination were performed in patients with CHF prior and after 2-week treatment. The cardiac function and alternation of the hemorheology were observed after treatment. RESULTS: The total effective rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group. The cardiac func tion in the treatment group changed significantly,and the levels of plasma visc osity decreased in both groups significantly after treatment, especially in trea tment group. CONCLUSION: Tongxinluo can improve the cardiac fu nction and blood coagulation in patients with CHF.
