ABSTRACT
One of the challenges to diagnosis-intervention packet is how to detect and avoid the institutional behavior of pursuing a higher score group. Based on the analysis method of big data, the authors analyzed the objective distribution characteristics of the treatment methods corresponding to a diagnosis, and compared the distribution of diseases with high and low scores in the region to find out the selection trend of treatment methods for the same diagnosis in various hospitals. Combined with hospital positioning, the authors found out whether there was a tendency of pursuing a higher score group. Scientific support will be provided for the reasonable payment of medical insurance expenses and the development planning of hospitals.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the price formation method and price standard in the big data diagnosis-intervention packet.Methods:The expenditure data and income data of 95 medical institutions in Shanghai in 2018 were used for analysis, including 33 municipal hospitals and 62 district hospitals. After using the standardized data of disease score, the medical institutions in the region were divided into four quadrants with the regional average of unit price per index and cost per index as the coordinate axis. The best quadrant of income and cost was found out, namely the high quality range. The geometric center was calculated in the high quality range, and the unit price per index of the geometric center was taken as the cost standard.Results:For the district hospitals, there were 20 hospitals in the first quadrant, 8 in the second quadrant, 24 in the third quadrant and 10 in the fourth quadrant; For the municipal hospitals, there were 7 hospitals in the first quadrant, 5 in the second quadrant, 12 in the third quadrant and 9 in the fourth quadrant. In the third quadrant, the average income and cost of medical institutions were lower than the average of the city, and the income could cover the cost. The third quadrant was the high quality range. The unit price per index of the third quadrant geometric center of district hospitals was 14 115.4 yuan, and that in municipal hospitals was 15 559.1 yuan, which could be used as the corresponding cost standard.Conclusions:The price discovery mechanism based on objective data and high-quality interval geometric center method can remove the impact of unreasonable charges or unreasonable behavior on medical income, and reflect the guidance of the standard price of medical insurance payment.
ABSTRACT
Medical insurance payment model is transforming from project-based purchases to service bundle-based strategic purchases. The new form of bundled purchases should found on a scientifically-led design process of such bundles. The core to bundled purchase would be the payment standard, and the key to its success would be process control. Establishment of such a foundation, a core, and a key, would promote the current price standards, and lead service providers to a standardized medical service standard, so as to ensure a precise rewarding system of payment and service. The big data diagnosis-intervention packet(DIP)is able to fulfill mentioned ambitions by integrating insurance payment and supervision into one management. DIP is a full-process payment mode that encompasses pre-service estimation, in-service process control, post-service grading, and resource allocation. It is an innovative practice in line with China′s national conditions for the modern governance of medical security and medical services.
ABSTRACT
Shanghai is the earliest city in China for starting family doctor system at national level. It has actively explored the contract service mechanism between residents and family doctors. It has developed from "soft contract signing of guiding residents to understand, contact and gradually accept family doctor services" to the " main and close contracting using the comprehensive service from medical institutions". This paper systematically analyzed the implementation status in " one community health center, one district hospital and one municipal hospital (1 + 1 + 1)" contractservice system of family doctor in Shanghai from the aspects of adjustment background, design ideas, progress and obstacles of the policy. Based on the analysis of barriers to the policyimplementation, some suggestions were put forward including the improvement of the contract service system in order to increase the number and build the capacity of general practitioners, and the optimization of the existing payment distribution systems.

ABSTRACT
We have recently designed and synthesized several novel iminoquinone anticancer agents that have entered preclinical development for the treatment of human cancers. Herein we developed and validated a quantitative HPLC-MS/MS analytical method for one of the lead novel anticancer makaluvamine analog, TCBA-TPQ, and conducted a pharmacokinetic study in laboratory rats. Our results indicated that the HPLC-MS/MS method was precise, accurate, and specific. Using this method, we carried out in vitro and in vivo evaluations of the pharmacological properties of TCBA-TPQ and plasma pharmacokinetics in rats. Our results provide a basis for future preclinical and clinical development of this promising anticancer marine analog.

ABSTRACT
Teenage pregnancy carries serious impacts on adolescent health. This study aimed to examine the effects of pregnancy on adolescents and to explore how they cope with the problems they faced during the pregnancy. It involved 26 adolescents residing in a government shelter home in Kuala Lumpur. A self-administered questionnaire containing a mixture of open- and closed-ended questions was used. Among physical (sleeping problem and self-care problem), psychological (emotional difficulties and low self-efficacy) and social (stigma and discrimination, financial difficulty, friendship problem and school dropout) problems, emotional difficulties were the most common problems, whereas stigma and discrimination was the least common. Young adolescents aged less than 16 years old were significantly associated with poor self-care (p=0.01). To cope with their problems, the adolescents generally used avoidance, withdrawal, and social support, particularly from parents and peers. Doctors were the least popular among all. In conclusion, holistic and individualised care is needed. Strategies to reduce emotional problem experienced by pregnant adolescents should be implemented. The available healthcare services for teenage pregnancy should also be promoted.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the relationships between intrahepatic HBV DNA level and serum HBV DNA level, between intrahepatic HBV DNA level and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) level in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and assess the valuation of pretreatment liver HBV DNA level in antivirus therapy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Liver specimens taken from 41 HBeAg-positive CHB patients before antivirus treatment were divided into two parts, one for histological examination, and the other for intrahepatic HBV DNA quantified detection by PCR-fluorescence. At the same time, serum levels of HBV DNA and HBeAg were detected. The patients were classified into two groups according to the pretreatment intrahepatic HBV DNA level (< or = 10(4)fg/cm(3) in group A, >10(4)fg/cm(3) in group B) and accepted interferon alpha-1b (3MU every day for 26 weeks) in combination with lamivudine (100mg per day for 52 weeks). During the treatment, the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), HBV DNA and HBeAg seroconversion rate were monitored.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) The level of liver HBV DNA was much higher than that of serum HBV DNA (4.081 +/-1.127 vs 3.163 +/-1.010, t = 2.218, P < 0.05). Liver HBV DNA level had positive correlation to serum HBV DNA level (r = 0.840, t = 4.322, P < 0.001) and serum HBeAg level (r = 0.459, t = 3.056, P < 0.005). (2) Intrahepatic HBV DNA level was negative correlation to the severity of liver damage (chi(2) = 3.874, P < 0.05). (3) Serum HBV DNA level in all the patients reduced remarkedly after therapy, especially in group A. At the end of 52 weeks, the rates of HBeAg and anti-HBe seroconversion in group A were higher than those in group B (68.4% vs 36.4%, chi(2) = 4.194, P < 0.05; 73.7% vs 40.9%, chi(2) = 4.447, P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Intrahepatic HBV DNA is a more valuable marker than serum HBV DNA or HBeAg to assess HBV replication, and can reflect the status of body immunity indirectly. It may be a useful indicator for the efficacy of antivirus treatment.</p>

In order to arouse the working enthusiasm of the entire staff and give expression to the value of labor and skills, our hospital has implemented reform in the distribution system. Bonus given to clinical departments is linked both to the amount and quality of work and to economic profits; bonus to medico technical departments is given by means of deducting a percentage from the income and expenditure surplus in a way of progressive decrease; bonus given to functional departments is equivalent to 90% of the average bonus given to medical service departments; and bonus to logistical service departments is given, if possible, by the piece and mark. As a result of the reform, the distribution system has become more rational, the working enthusiasm and efficiency of the staff have been enhanced, operational income and income structure have improved, and social benefits bave been raised, with the satisfaction rate reaching over 90%. Of course, there still exist some difficulties in the reform.
