RESUMO
Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics of injuries among students in Songjiang district, Shanghai, and to provide data support for preventing injuries among students. Methods Data of injury cases among school students in Songjiang from 2017 to 2019 were collected from the National Injury Surveillance System (NISS), and the demographic characteristics, injury occurrence and clinical characteristics of injuries were analyzed. Results A total of 13 877 cases of injuries in school students were reported from 2017-2019, with a sex ratio of 1.94:1. The education level of the injured students was mainly primary school. The peak incidence months of student injuries were May (9.97%) and November (9.67%). Falls (50.83%) were the leading cause of student injuries, and the top three places of student injuries were at home (30.08%), in schools and public places (28.11%) and on roads/streets (22.97%). The top three activities at the time of the injury were leisure activities (34.62%), sports activities (18.50%), and taking transportation（17.68%）. The top three injury types were bruise/scratch (42.94%), sprain/strain (28.67%) and sharps/bite/open injury (13.53%). The common injury parts were lower limbs (38.39%), head (27.82%) and upper limbs (24.88%). Conclusion The prevention of injuries in school students in Songjiang should focus on male students and low age students, and targeted injury prevention and control work for students of different ages should be carried out.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Yishen tongluo formula （YSTLF） in improving abnormal lipid metabolism based on the sterol regulatory element binding proteins （SREBPs） pathway. METHODS Using C57BLKS/J （db/db） mice as model and C57BLKS/J （db/m） mice as normal control， the mechanism of 1， 2.5 and 5 g/kg YSTLF improving abnormal lipid metabolism of db/db mice was investigated by determining the liver coefficient， the contents of serum total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein （LDL） and high-density lipoprotein （HDL）， observing steatosis and lipid accumulation in liver tissue of mice， detecting the protein expressions of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 as well as mRNA transcription levels of Srebp- 1c， Srebp-2 and their downstream lipid metabolism-related target genes （Fasn， Acc1， Scd5， Fads1， Hmgcr， Dhcr24， Insig-1， Fdps） in liver tissue of mice. Using low-fat cultured human liver cancer cell HepG2 as an in vitro cell model for abnormal lipid metabolism， and 25-HC （SREBPs inhibitor， 10 μmol/L） as the control， the effects of 125， 250 and 500 μg/mL YSTLF on protein expressions of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 as well as mRNA transcription of SREBP-1c， SREBP-2 and their downstream lipid metabolism-related target genes were investigated to verify the mechanism in vitro. RESULTS 1， 2.5， 5 g/kg YSTLF significantly reduced the levels of TC， TG and LDL， the percentage of lipid droplet-positive region in liver tissue and liver coefficient， significantly down-regulated protein expressions of Pre-SREBP-1， n-SREBP-1， Pre-SREBP-2 and n-SREBP-2， and mRNA transcription of Srebp-1c， Srebp-2 and their downstream target genes in liver tissue， while significantly increased HDL level， with statistical significance （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In the cell experiment in vitro， the expressions of the above-mentioned proteins and genes in the cells treated with YSTLF at 125， 250 and 500 μg/mL for 24 hours were consistent with those in the animal experiment； there was no significant difference in the expressions of the above-mentioned proteins and genes between inhibitor control group and 250， 500 μg/mL YSTLF groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS YSTLF can regulate the expression of transcription factor SREBPs， so as to inhibit the high expression of fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis-related genes， promote the degradation of TC and TG， improve the abnormality of lipid metabolism and inhibit lipid accumulation， thus playing the role of lipid-lowering.
RESUMO
Objective:After examining the changes in medical expenses and flows of hospitalized patients with-in and outside the county under the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme ( NRCMS ) before and after the imple-mentation of health care alliance reform, this paper analyzes the impacts of health care alliance reform on the visiting rate of NRCMS patients within the county and explores their causes and channels. Methods:This paper uses the hos-pitalization data of NRCMS patients in 2013 and 2014 collected from Huangzhong county Qinghai province and inter-views with key informants and analyzes the hospitalization expenses, visiting flows and other indicators of patients. Results:After starting health care alliance reform, the total number of hospitalized patients to seek treatment outside the county decreased by 6 . 38%, the total hospitalization expenses to seek treatment outside the county decreased by 22 . 13%, and the hospitalization expenses per inpatient day to seek treatment within and outside the county increased by 14. 41% and 20. 69% respectively. Conclusions: By improving service capabilities of township health centers and increasing synergies between county-township-village health institutions, the county health care alliance reform has suc-cessfully enhanced the service capabilities of health care systems in the whole county and reasonably helped patients with common diseases to be hospitalized outside the county and frequently hospitalized people to return back to the county.
RESUMO
The fragmentation of health care system within a county and serious capacity constraints of health-care services in township health centers are generally the most significant problems facing underdeveloped counties in western China. Under constraints of limited public financial resources, how to increase service capability of township health centers and improve service quality, continuity and convenience of health care system has become one of the most severe challenges in implementing China’s county health care system reform. This paper takes Huangzhong coun-ty, Qinghai province as a case study. It investigates how the locals use health care alliance to vertically integrate county health care resources during reform implementation, analyzes various aspects of reform measures and the corre-sponding structural characteristics such as the integration of administrative management, integration of human re-sources, dual diagnosis referral, interoperability of information systems, sharing of resources and test results, etc. , and provides similar China’s counties with a case study to be used for reference.
RESUMO
Objective:To analyze reverse effects induced in the implementation process of“primary health care strengthening” policies, and the innovative initiatives and countermeasures raised in primary health care system’s comprehensive reform of Feixi county. Method:Based on the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis ( CDA) , this paper designs its analytical framework for policy analysis. Results:Many reverse effects appeared in the implementa-tion process of “primary health care strengthening” policies. However, through improvements in terms of manpower upgrading, network building, working conditions and management mechanisms, Feixi county has successfully strengthened the capacity building for primary health care institutions. Conclusions:The expected and unexpected re-sults should be evaluated systematically when the policies are being implemented, and local governments need to pro-ceed according to local conditions in order to prevent unintended reverse effects from happening.
RESUMO
Objective:The paper aims to explore the structure and effectiveness of three health service systems in Anhui province and provide policy recommendations to promote the integration of health care systems. Methods:By using typical sampling method, this paper conducts case study analysis of health service system in Ma’anshan, Feidong and Feixi county of Anhui province. The data mainly come from questionnaires for the institutions, doctors and patients, as well as from interviews with key informants. By integrating quantitative and qualitative data analysis, this paper uses social network analysis method to analyze the system structure and its degree of integration. Results:The degree of integration of health service structure in Ma’anshan is the highest, followed by Feixi, and Feidong is the lowest. The system effectiveness is same as the degree of integration. All three health service systems have advantages and disadvantages regarding to system integration. Conclusion:The effectiveness of health service system integration and its implementation is the product of combined effects of internal and external environment of each health service system. The reforms in Ma’anshan and Feixi health service systems have not only integrated health care structures, but also had a positive impact on the effectiveness of the health service systems.
RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the implementation and effectiveness of primary health care reform in Feixi county, Anhui province. Methods: This paper uses data analysis of interviews with key insiders, policy documents and archives, as well as institutional questionnaire survey and other methods to collect information, and then it com-bines qualitative and quantitative research to arrive at research findings through cross-analysis and interpretation. Re-sults:From 2010 to 2014, the reform enhanced the capacity of primary health care in four main aspects, including capacity building of primary health care personnel, network construction of primary health care system, improvement of working conditions, and system construction of institutional management. Accordingly, the human capacity of pri-mary health care personnel was improved, their enthusiasm for work increased, their income was raised, the working conditions were improved, the cooperation mechanism for vertical and horizontal health care services was established, and the consultation rate and primary health care utilization in Feixi county increased. Conclusion:Both the“bottom-up” exploration approach and “from point to area” implementation strategy adopted by Feixi county have not only been the core content of primary health care system’s comprehensive reform, but also effectively leveraged the other aspects of the reform. They have played an important role in deepening medical reform and establishing institutional mechanism of health care system.
