ABSTRACT
Taking the current situation and problems of medical humanities education as the background, the concept of narrative medicine was used to sort out and integrate various course materials of medical humanities, explore the multi-link linkage mode of medical humanities education, and organically integrate medical humanities courses scattered in medical education activities such as medical ethics, health law, doctor-patient communication, and health policy science with teaching stages, teaching resources, and teaching methods, forming vivid narrative medical materials throughout the entire process of medical humanities education, and improving teaching efficiency by sharing and optimizing resources. Through questionnaire analysis, it was found that there are many unsatisfactory aspects of medical humanities education. Further analysis of the issues focuses on the contradiction between learning willingness and time allocation, the lack of synchronization between teaching and social development, the lack of integration between courses, and insufficient innovation in teaching methods. Based on these, countermeasures were put forward to integrate narrative medical materials of medical humanities courses and build a platform for the application and communication of narrative medical materials.
ABSTRACT

Animal research of medical devices/medical materials is an essential part of preclinical safety and efficacy evaluation. Many questions should be taken in considerations when it comes to design and conduction animal research of medical devices/medical materials because of its uniqueness. This kind of research has widespread studying objects while has no universal standard method, and should be designed case-by-case. This article is aimed at serving as a reference for sponsors and researchers when performing preclinical safety and efficacy evaluation of medical devices/medical materials.

There are three systems to protect the geographical indications of genuine medical materials in present China, which easily leads to the right-conflicts among several geographical indications rights. The situation is not reasonable, but is legitimate in the current legal system. So we should start from the present legislation and learn from foreign experience to resolve it step by step. To be specific, in the short term, we should strengthen propaganda and alter the existing logos to reduce the possibility of consumer confusion. Meanwhile, we should annul or revoke the registration of the improperly registered geographical indications. In the medium term, we should make some amendments to the legislation, that is, to give priorities to geographical indication products. At last, we should change the three systems into a single protection mode on the basis of the geographical indication products system.
ABSTRACT
Bacterial cellulose,as a new material,due to its unique nano-fiber mesh structure with good purity,physical and chemical properties such as mechanical strength and water holding capacity,biocompatibility and adaptability,has been widely used in medicine,food,paper,textile,acoustical materials and other industries.In medical field,especially,it has been rapidly developed in recent years.This review discusses the current bacterial cellulose and its performance optimization products which relates to the medical applications.
ABSTRACT
O estudo teve como objetivo comparar a eficácia do Sistema de Gestão de Materiais informatizado (SGM) em relação ao sistema tradicional quanto ao consumo e estoque de materiais. Trata-se de um estudo comparativo com abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido no Centro Cirúrgico do Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo. A população foi constituída por 293 itens de materiais e a coleta ocorreu no período de fevereiro a maio de 2007 e de 2008. Os resultados mostraram que o consumo de materiais em 2008, ou seja, após a implantação do SGM, reduziu 8,13 por cento em relação ao ano de 2007. A quantidade de materiais em estoque reduziu 26,22 por cento e o custo desses apresentou uma redução de 12,46 por cento.
The study had the objective to compare the efficiency of the Automated System of Management of Hospital Medical Materials as opposed to the traditional system in relation to the consumption of stock of materials. It involved a comparative analysis with a quantitative approach adopted in the Surgical Center of the University Hospital of the University of São Paulo. The study dealt with 293 items of hospital medical materials during the month-periods of February to May of 2007 and of 2008. The results showed that the use of materials in 2008 decreased by 8.13 percent as compared to 2007. The volume of materials in stock in 2008 was reduced by 26.22 percent also in the same period, and the cost of these materials stocked in 2008 showed a 12.46 percent decrease.

Objective: To construct an appraisal model for joint logistic supply of military medical materials, and to apply it for appraising the efficiency of military medical material supply in a military region. Methods: The appraisal model for join logistic supply of military medical materials was established based on previous research findings, data retrieval, and experts' opinions obtained by survey. The model was used to evaluate the efficiencies in a pilot area for joint logistic supply before and after exercising joint logistic supply (2001-2005). Results: The appraisal model for joint logistic supply of military medical materials was successfully established. The total score of 2001-2005 (GI = 86.410) and each of the secondary indices were obtained by comprehensive scoring index method in a military region. The efficiency scores were obviously increased since the application of joint logistic supply in 2003 (71.873, 73.886, 81.498, 84.560, 86.410). Conclusion: The joint logistics reform promotes the reasonable disposition of medical materials in some military areas and reduces repeated construction; but there are still problems like various working efficiencies of the maintaining persons, delayed renewal of the medical materials, shortness of maintaining fund, etc., which have seriously hampered the coordinated development as a whole.
