Practice and enlightenment of the construction of multi-agent collaborative loose medical alliance under the background of Yangtze River Delta integration / 中华医院管理杂志

Health service is an important part of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. Taking the cooperation practice between Shanghai Tenth People′s Hospital and Suzhou Yinshanhu Hospital as an example, this article introduced the multi-agent cooperation mode of the loose medical alliance including the government, urban hospitals and cross provincial grassroots medical institutions. Among them, the local government provided policy, fund guarantee and guidance, the urban hospital exported management ideas, medicine talents and technologies, and the primary hospital conducted dual training by inviting in and going out to achieve double growth. Through the high gap cooperation between tertiary hospital and primary hospital, Yinshanhu hospital had been comprehensively developed. The loose medical alliance with multi subject coordination and cross region could give full play to the advantages of the loose healthcare alliance mode, achieve multi-win, and have reference significance for promoting the regional integration of medical and health services in the Yangtze River Delta.

The role of Hedgehog pathway in hepatic fibrosis and hepatic stellate cell activation / 中华消化杂志

Objective To investigate the role of Hedgehog pathway in hepatic fibrosis and its association with activation of hepatic stellate cells. Methods Twenty male Spragur-Dawley rats were divided into control and model groups with 10 each. The animal models were induced by injection with CCl4 and fed with fat-rich diet. The rats in both groups were sacrified at the 8 week with 5 each and the liver tissues were removed for HSC-T6 culture. The deposition of collagen fiber in liver was detected with HE and Masson staining. RT-PCR was used to detect the expressions of Sonic hedgehog (Shh), smoothened (Smo), patched (Ptc), Gli-1 and α-smooth muscle action (α-SMA) mRNA in HSC-T6 and liver tissues. The influence of cyclopamine (Cyc) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on HSC-T6 proliferation were assayed by MTT. The expressions of Shh, Smo, Ptc, Gli-1 and α-SMA mRNA after intervention with Cyc (100μmol/L) and LPS were measured by real-time PCR. Results A lot of lipo and collagen deposited in liver of model rats. The Shh,Smo,Gli-1 and α-SMA mRNA were highly expressed in model rats than those in control group (2-△△Ct were 20.45±3.31 vs. 1, 12.78 ± 0. 53 vs. 1, 10.88 ± 2.41 vs. 1, 4.91 ± 2. 59 vs. 1, respectively, all P value <0. 05). In vitro Cyc inhibited HSC-T6 proliferation in dose dependant manner (F=636.81, P<0.01). Compared to the control group, the mRNA expressions of Smo, Ptc, Gli-1,α-SMA in HSC-T6 were significantly reduced after Cyc intervention (2△△Ct, were 0. 20±0. 11, 0. 21 ± 0. 08, 0. 28 ± 0. 05,0. 27±0.10,respectively, all P values<0.01). Conclusion The expression of members of Hedgehog pathway are increased in the progress of hepatic fibrosis, which may accelerate the hepatiee fibrosis by activating HSC.
