ABSTRACT
This study focused on the socialist camp's North Korean medical support and its effects on North Korean medical field from liberation to 1958. Except for the Soviet assistance from liberation to the Korean War, existing studies mainly have paid attention to the ‘autonomous’ growth of the North Korean medical field. The studies on the medical support of the Eastern European countries during the Korean War have only focused on one-sided support and neglected the interactions with the North Korean medical field. Failing in utilizing the materials produced in North Korea has led to the omission of detailed circumstances of providing support. Since the review of China's support and the North Korea-China medical exchanges has been concentrated in the period after the mid-1950s, the impacts of China's medical support on North Korea during the Korean War period and the post-war recovery period have not been taken into account. In terms of these limitations, this study examined the medical activities by the Socialist camp of the Eastern European countries in North Korea after the Korean War. The medical aid teams from Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and East Germany that came to North Korea in the wake of the Korean War continued to stay in North Korea after the war to build hospitals and train medical personnel. In the hospitals operated by these countries, cooperative medical care with North Korean medical personnel and medical technology education were conducted. Moreover, medical teams from each country in North Korea held seminars and conferences and exchanged knowledge with the North Korean medical field staffs. These activities by the Socialist countries in North Korea provided the North Korean medical personnel with the opportunity to directly experience the medical technology of each country. China's support was crucial to North Korea's ‘rediscovery’ of Korean medicine in the mid-1950s. After the Korean War, North Korea began to apply the Chinese-Western medicine integration policy, which was performed in China at that time, to the North Korean health care field through China's medical support and exchanges. In other words, China's emphasis on Chinese medicine and the integration of the Chinese-Western medicine were presented as one of the directions for medical development of North Korea in the 1950s, and the experiences of China in this process convinced North Korea that Korean medicine policy was appropriate. The decision-makers of the North Korean medical policies, who returned to North Korea after studying abroad in China at that time, actively introduced the experiences from China and constantly sought to learn about them. This study identified that a variety of external stimuli had complex impacts on the North Korean medical field in the gap between ‘Soviet learning’ in the late 1940s and the ‘autonomous’ medical development since the 1960s. The North Korean medical field was formed not by the unilateral or dominant influences of a single nation but by the stimulation from many nations and the various interactions in the process.

ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the demands of elderlies in a community in Hangzhou for the elder care with medical support and the current supply, and analyze the influencing factors. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 416 elderlies at 12 communities of 3 neighborhoods in Jianggan district of Hangzhou city, using stratification sampling. Results For the elderlies with demands for medical care, such services as medical advice in community, pharmacy in community and annual physical examination were made available and the highest satisfactions, being 70. 4%, 67. 1% and 64. 0% respectively. In contrary, less than 30% of the rest eight medical care demands were met. For the elderlies with demands for nursing care in community, supply of nine elderly care services fell below 30%. For the elderlies with demands for rehabilitation services, supply of six community rehabilitation services fell below 15%. Age, self-care ability and the number of chronic diseases were the main factors affecting old people′s demand for medical-nursing combined care(P ＜0. 05). Conclusions A gap is found between elderlies′demands for elderly care with medical support and the services available. Medical care, nursing care and rehabilitation service deserve further development efforts. Those of advanced age, with declining self-care ability, and those afflicted with many diseases should attract major attention.

ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the role of medical protection patterns in preventing exertional heat stroke during 5-km armed field examination in summer. Methods We analyzed the original data collected from 501 soldiers who completed the 5-km armed field examination in the summer of 2016. The soldiers received medical protection during examination and were divided into fully-equipped group (loading 9-12 kg, n=270) and non-equipped group (n=231). The temperatures of the soldiers were detected before and after examination, and the temperature changes and the number of soldiers with hyperthermia after examination were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 501 soldiers took part in the 5-km armed field examination, and 51 (10.18%) soldiers were found with fever (temperature > 37 °C), with a highest temperature of 40.9 °C. Nine were put on a temporary stay in the field medical facility. Among them, four were observed because of the temperature maintaining at 38 °C for 15 min, and their temperatures dropped to below 37 C after cooling fluid infusion for 50-120 min; four were observed because of chest tightness, suffocation, and abdominal pain; one was observed because of faint; the latter five cases were improved without other treatments. No case was evacuated to the hospital. There was no significant difference in temperature between the fully-equipped and non-equipped groups before the examination, while the temperature in the fully-equipped group was significantly higher than that in the non-equipped group after the examination ([36.64±0.67] °C vs [36.48±0.38] °C, P<0.05). The number of soldiers with hyperthermia in the fully-equipped group was significantly more than that in the non-equipped group after the examination (16.67%[45/270] vs 2.60% [6/231], P<0.05). Conclusion The 5-km armed field examination in summer can elevate temperatures of the soldiers and has risk of inducing heat stroke. Establishing a targeted medical protection pattern during the examination may help to timely detect fever in the soldiers and give prompt treatment, so as to effectively prevent heat stroke.
