ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the prevention and control effect of hand， foot and mouth disease （HFMD） after entervirus （EV） 71 vaccine immunization， evaluate economic benefit of EV71 vaccine immunization，and provide evidence for developing HFMD vaccine immunization strategies． Methods:Descriptive analysis was performed on comparing epidemiological characteristics of HFMD before and after EV71 vaccine immunization. Cost-benefit analysis was conducted， in which disease burden of HFMD， coverage of EV71 vaccine immunization， and costs of EV71 vaccine immunization were collected to evaluate the benefit-cost ratio （BCR）. Results:The average incidence of HFMD was 202.17/10 million from 2017 to 2018， which decreased by 43.8% compared with the average of the previous six years（χ2 = 395.49，P<0.05）； the average proportion of severe case decreased by 88.7%（χ2=40.84，P<0.05）. The prevalence of EV71 in the outpatients from 2017 to 2018 were 2.56%（18/704）， which decreased by 88.7% compared with the previous six years（χ2=124.74，P<0.05）. The severe and fatal cases were mainly caused by EV71 （84.5% -100.0%）. The average cost of EV 1 vaccine immunization was RMB 526， which was approximately 30.2% of the average cost of HFMD diagnosis and treatment. Coverage of EV71 vaccine was 40.12% from 2017 to 2018 in Minhang. The total costs of EV71 vaccination in Minghang from 2016 to 2018 was 174.89 million RMB. It was estimated that EV71 vaccination strategies had prevented 2 491 outpatients， 232 ordinary inpatients and 54 severe cases. The BCR was determined to be 0.35∶1. Conclusion:EV71 vaccine may reduce the incidence of HFMD， the incidence of severe cases， and the disease burden. It is highly recommended to reduce the immunization costs to increase the immunization coverage.
ABSTRACT
As the most advanced environment-friendly production model in the international society, ecological agriculture of Chinese materia medica(CMM) is the only way for the development of modern agriculture. With the proposal of the declaration on ecolo-gical agriculture of CMM, "Don't grab land from farmland, don't be enemies of grass and insects, don't be afraid of barren slopes and forests, and live up to the green and green mountains", the ecological planting of CMM has blossomed all over the country, and formed a scientific theory, technology and model. Based on the theory and method of economics, this paper expounds the comprehensive benefits and development advantages of ecological agriculture of CMM from the perspectives of farmers(producers), patients(consumers) and the country. From the perspective of medicinal farmers, the input and output income of conventional agriculture and ecological agriculture of CMM such as Panax ginseng, Astragalus propinquus, Atractylodes lancea, and Bupleurum chinense were compared, and it was found that ecological agriculture of CMM had obvious advantages in net income, average annual income and input-output ratio, which could better promote farmers' income. From the perspective of patients, according to the same dose, the content of active ingredients in ecologically planted CMMs is significantly higher than that in conventionally-planted herbs, and the amount of effective substances taken by patients is also higher, so as to achieve better therapeutic effect. At the national level, ecological planting of CMM is the key to ensuring the high-quality development of CMM industry, increasing farmers' income, ensuring the safety of people's drug use and promoting the sustainable development of agriculture. It is also an important part of realizing the harmonious development of economy, society and environment and promoting ecological civilization. In general, the declaration on ecological agriculture of CMM embo-dies the core characteristics and goals of ecological agriculture, and also points of the path and vision of ecological agriculture of CMM in the future. The declaration will guide production practice, promote the benefit of farmers, and lay the foundation for the sustainable development of CMM industry.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to emphasize the importance and necessity of the government's old-age preparation service by measuring the economic value of the old-age service and the policy direction and policy implications of the government's old-age preparation service project. METHODS: Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) was used as an analytical method. CV methodology was used to calculate the Willingness to pay (WTP) for old-age preparation service and its value was estimated and the economic benefit of the project was estimated. RESULTS: As a result of the analysis, the average monthly payment amount for the old service was calculated as 5,100 won, and the annual average payment amount was estimated to be 61,197.1 won. CONCLUSION: The present value of the benefit for 10 years with the discount rate of 5.5% is 484,651 won. Based on the value of peruser benefit, the total benefit value calculation result of the old-age preparation service considering the Willingness to pay for the next 10 years shows that the total benefit value of the old service, which occurs during the period from 2016 to 2025(10 years) was estimated at 415.1 billion won. As a result of calculating the benefit for each scenario, the present value of basic service is higher in all scenarios than the linked service.

ABSTRACT
Se realizó un estudio de descripción de costos en el Centro Penitenciario "Mar Verde" de la provincia de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero del 2008 hasta diciembre del 2009, con vistas a calcular los costos directos e indirectos pertinentes para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de pacientes infectados por sífilis, para lo cual se compararon los resultados antes y después de efectuar una intervención educativa en la población de penados, por un grupo de promotores seleccionados y preparados en la prevención de infecciones de transmisión sexual. El impacto de la intervención se midió por medio de la disminución del número de afectados con sífilis. Finalmente, después de la actividad educativa, la incidencia de la enfermedad decreció en una tasa de 1,1 por cada 100 habitantes y los costos del tratamiento antiinfeccioso de los reclusos disminuyeron en $ 1 344,48, para obtener un beneficio económico de 1 513,04 pesos cubanos.
A study of costs description was carried out in "Mar Verde" Prison in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 2008 to December, 2009, with the objective of calculating the direct and indirect pertinent costs for the diagnosis and treatment of patients infected by syphilis, for which the results were compared before and after developing an educational intervention in the prisoners population, by a group of selected and prepared promoters in the prevention of sexual transmission infections. The impact of the intervention was measured by means of a decrease in the number the affected prisoners with syphilis. Finally, after the educational activity, the incidence of the disease fell at a rate of 1,1 per 100 inhabitants and the costs of the treatment against infection of the prisoners decreased in $1 344,48, to obtain an economic benefit of 1 513,04 Cuban pesos.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this 3-year retrospective study was to determine the efficacy and economic benefit of boiogito when administered concurrently with methotrexate (MTX) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). One hundred twenty-six patients who were treated at Ohno Clinic between May 2006 and November 2011 with either the MTX-boiogito combination (n = 59) or MTX alone (n = 67) were identified for the study. Eligible patients were selected on the basis of the 1987 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria and their disease activity, while their remission rates and treatment outcomes were evaluated using the Disease Activity Score 28 Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (DAS 28-ESR). A total of 93 patients (MTX-boiogito group,n = 45 ; MTX alone group, n = 48) were included in the statistical analysis after excluding those who prematurely withdrew from the study due to adverse events or conditions that required treatment with biological agents.<br>Our results showed that the MTX-boiogito group had significantly lower disease activity (<i>p </i>= 0.0372),higher rates of remission (<i>p </i>= 0.0093), and greater improvement in overall DAS 28-ESR score (<i>p </i>= 0.0050) when compared to the MTX alone group. With the combination therapy group, fewer patients needed to add further disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and the total cost of medications over the 3 years was lower (2,145,470 JPY vs 2,301,690 JPY) with a resultant savings of 156,220 JPY per person. In conclusion, the use of boiogito 7.5 g/day represents a clinically and economically important addition to MTX therapy for the treatment of RA.

ABSTRACT
An effective hospital performance appraisal system is still unavailable in China,which results in low efficiency of hospital operation to some degree.It is of great significance to carry out hospital performance appraisal for perfecting hospital performance appraisal system and promoting the efficiency of hospita1 management.Some issues should be bared in mind during the establishment of hospital performance appraisal system as follows.Single-faceted pursuit of economic benefits should be avoided.Combination of external hospital appraisal system and internal hospital appraisal system,and the overall application of performance appraisal in performance management should be stressed.It is also suggested to establish a three-leveled performance appraisal system including hospital level,department level and post level appraisal systems.We also argue that attention should be given to the selection of comprehensive appraisal methods,continuous mutual communication on performance,and timely adjustment.
