ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlations among homocysteine(Hcy)level,serum cystatin C (Cys-c)and diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN).Methods Two hundred and three diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes were enrolled,including 123 DPN patients(DPN+)and 80 non-DPN(DPN-)patients.Levels of serum Hcy,Cys-c,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)and fiber fibrinogen(Fg)were detected.The above indi-cators and the baseline data such as sex,age,duration,BMI,WHR,HOMA-IR(CP),HOMA-islet(CP)were statistically analyzed. Results Hcy,Cys-c,and the duration of the DPN+ group were significantly higher than those in the DPN-group(P<0.05,respectively).HOMA-islet(CP)in the DPN-group was markedly higher than that in the DPN+group(P<0.01).The prevalence of DPN in the high level of Hcy group was much higher than that in the low and the normal level of Hcy group.Hcy was still significantly correlated with the Cys-c after taking the controlled procedure such as duration and fibrinogen. Conclusion High levels of Hcy and Cys-c are the criti-cal risk factors of DPN,collaborative determination of Hcy and Cys-c level might be of quitevaluable in early diag-nosis of DPN.
ABSTRACT
The information system of 301 Hospital One-Card service, was designed to enable outpatients to register online via mobile ends, pay in real-time, and hierarchical examination-diagnosis among other services. As the hospital HIS system cannot link to the Internet directly, the system could make use of the Internet application front end of China′s financial platform, and such means of 2D-barcodes and APP. This innovation could improve outpatient experience, keep confidential of medical information and patients′privacy, and change on-site registration to appointment in advance.
ABSTRACT
The factors influencing cost accounting fall into such three categories as drivers and incentives,factors affecting authenticity and accuracy,and factors affecting application and selection.DRG payment,as it is getting more popular than before,is pushing forward cost accounting at an unprecedented pace.Thanks to the current payment system reform and the transition of public hospital reimbursement regime,such needs as exact payment,j ust compensation and cost/performance management of such hospitals are challenging the present cost accounting system,calling for the birth of a cost accounting system for these hospitals.To build such a system,micro-and macro-level goals need to be considered simultaneously,while needs of different levels should be designed,integrated and interacted with each other.Only in this way,goals can be reached for such a system.
ABSTRACT
[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate whether the increase in PTEN expression is related to apoptosis, and whether it is regulated by reactive oxygen species( ROS) .METHODS: The rat islet cells were divided into constant low glucose group ( group L) , constant high glucose group ( group H) , glucose fluctuation group ( group F) , low glucose after high glucose group (group HL) and low glucose after fluctuation group (group FL).The ROS level, apoptotic rate, intracellu-lar calcium, insulin release and PTEN protein expression were analyzed.RESULTS:Compared with groups H and L, the insulin secretion decreased, and intracellular calcium, ROS level, PTEN protein expression and apoptotic rate increased in group F ( P<0.05) .Compared with group H, the intracellular calcium, ROS level, PTEN protein expression and apoptot-ic rate in group HL decreased, but were still higher than those in group L (P<0.05).Compared with group F, the intra-cellular calcium, ROS level, PTEN protein expression and apoptotic rate in group FL decreased, but were still higher than those in group L (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Glucose fluctuation can cause the apoptosis of islet cells more easily than constant high glucose.This may be related to the change of intracellular calcium and increase in oxidative stress which pro-motes PTEN expression.The recovery of glucose level to some extent relieves oxidative stress, decrease PTEN expression and reduce cell damage.
ABSTRACT
This paper described the practice of using the bank card as a medical card.This practice is designed to fully leverage the financial service system of major banks in China and premium medical resources,as it may optimize medical service flows of registration,doctors' visit and charging at the hospital.This reform aims at creating an information integrating bank cards and hospital cards featuring practicality,convenience,security and high-tech,so as to improve medical service and provide the patients with a better experience in seeing doctors.

ABSTRACT
The overuse of injection exists more than 20 years since economic reform in China. It is a persistent problem and seems becoming a new challenge in the new health reform period. This study was designed to assess the effect of national essential medicines policy (NEMP) on injection use at primary health facilities in China by investigating their prescription information. Questionnaires were designed and disseminated to collect empirical data on injection use at 120 primary health facilities in 6 provinces from January to September in 2010 and 2011. The injection use was measured as the indicator as the percentage of prescriptions with one or more injections. The results showed that the percentage of prescriptions with one or more injections was decreased from 38.91% to 36.82% (χ (2)=11.158, P=0.001) in the all survey areas during the NEMP reform. The difference in level of the injection use in 2011 was significant among the eastern, central and western regions (χ (2)=223.584, P=0.000); level of the injection use in western region was the lowest (27.73%), while that in the central region was the highest (43.10%). The level of the injection use in 2011 among different provinces was also of great difference (26.00%-58.25%, range: 32.25%). The level of the injection use in 2011 was still much higher than the standard suggested by WHO for developing countries (13.4%-24.1%). It was concluded that NEMP has improved injection use in China, but the injection abuse situation remains serious, indicating that one of the priorities to the next stage of NEMP is to promote the rational use of drugs, especially the injection use.

Objective To improve the recognition in clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of POEMS syndrome.Method Twenty-one cases of POEMS syndrome were analyzed retrospectively.Results The major clinical features were shown as follows: 21 cases of polyneuropathy, organomegaly, edema and skin changes, 13 cases of monoclonal plasma proliferative disorder, 19 cases of endocrinopathy, 1 case of sclerotic bone lesions, 1 case of Castleman disease,5 cases of papilledema.Conclusions POEMS syndrome is a rare multi-system damage disease.Screening for POEMS syndrome with serum protein electrophoresis, immunofixation electrophoresis,electromyogram and radionuclide bone scanning are essential for all patients with unexplained peripheral neuropathy or multi-system damage.If the index of suspicion is high enough, bone marrow cytomorphologic examination or biopsy with immunohistochemical staining may be required,in order to make an early diagnosis and try to avoid misdiagnosis and mistherapy.

ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the changes of expression of SR-BI in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA) differentiated U937 cells.METHODS: U937 cells were cultured with 100 nmol/L PMA in order to differentiate the cells to macrophages.Immunocytochemical method,Western blotting analysis and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) were used to detect SR-BI protein and mRNA during differentiation.RESULTS: Immunocytochemistry showed that after exposure of U937 cells to PMA for 24,48,72 hours,the values of SR-BI protein expression in U937 cells were 15.94?3.56,27.86?4.39 and 9.08?2.37,with the first two higher than that in undifferentiated cells(7.76?1.74,P0.05) increment in the expression of SR-BI protein compared with U937 monocytes.RT-PCR showed that relative SR-BI mRNA expression in different group was 0.112?0.006,0.235?0.014,0.344?0.140 and 0.138?0.010,respectively.CONCLUSION: SR-BI protein and mRNA were increased after differentiation,reached a peak at 48 hours,and decreased at 72 hours.High expression levels of SR-BI in U937 macrophages following PMA differentiation may be correlated with foam cell formation.
