Practice and Exploration of the Maternity Insurance Management Based on DRG / 中国卫生经济

Based on management ideas for DRG disease grouping,it targeted at comparing the differences and maternity insurance control status of different medical groups within the same disease,provided data support on internal standard practical medical treatment and effectively controlling expenses;based on data analysis,the communication with the medical insurance management department was improved to provide suggestion on further implementation for maternity insurance.

Effect of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system gene polymorphisms on blood pressure response to antihypertensive treatment / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is important for the development of essential hypertension, and many antihypertensive drugs target it. This study was undertaken to determine whether polymorphisms in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system are related to the blood pressure (BP) response to diuretic treatment in a Chinese Han ethnic population.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty-four patients with essential hypertension received hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg, once daily) as monotherapy for four weeks. Seven polymorphisms in RAAS genes were genotyped by gene chip technology. The relationship between these polymorphisms and the change in blood pressure was observed after the 4-week treatment.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patients with angiotensinogen (AGT) -6G allele showed a greater reduction in diastolic BP (P=0.025) and mean BP (P=0.039) than those carrying AA genotype. Patients carrying aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) CC genotype exhibited a greater BP reduction than those carrying CT and TT genotypes (systolic BP: P=0.030; diastolic BP: P=0.026; mean BP: P=0.003). In addition, patients with a combination of CYP11B2 CC genotype and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) D allele might have a more pronounced reduction of systolic BP than those with any other genotypic combinations of the two genes (P=0.007).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>AGT-6G allele, CYP11B2 -344CC genotype and its combination with ACE D allele are associated with BP response to hydrochlorothiazide treatment. Larger studies are warranted to validate this finding.</p>

Association of thiazide-sensitive Na+-Cl* cotransporter gene polymorphisms with the risk of essential hypertension / 中华医学遗传学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the association of thiazide-sensitive Na+ -Cl* cotransporter (TSC) gene 1784C/T and 2736G/A polymorphisms with the risk of essential hypertension (EH) in a Han nationality population.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A community-based, case-control study including 190 EH patients and 94 sex- and age-matched controls was conducted. Genotypes of TSC gene 1784C/T and 2736G/A polymorphisms were analyzed by gene chip technology.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The genotype (1784C/T CC, CT, TT:87, 88, 15 vs 36, 52, 6û2736G/A GG, AG, AA:167, 22, 1 vs 83, 10, 1) and alleles frequency (1784C/T C, T:68.9%, 31.1% vs 66.0%, 34.0%; 2736G/A G,A:93.7%, 6.3% vs 93.6%, 6.4%) distribution of 1784C/T and 2736G/A showed no significant difference between the EH group and the control group (P >0.05). Moreover, no significant difference was observed in the frequencies distribution of four haplotypes (P > 0.05); Logistic regression analysis of haplotypes showed that the risk of EH had no significant difference in the population with different haplotypes (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The 1784C/T and 2736G/A polymorphisms of TSC gene may not play an important role in the etiology of EH in a Han nationality population. The studies in the future are warranted to validate our findings.</p>

Association of angiotensinogen gene polymorphisms with the risk of essential hypertension in the elderly / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective To investigate the association of angiotensinogen(AGT)gene A-6G、T174M and G-217A polymorphisms with the risk of essential hypertension(EH)in the elderly of Han nationality.Methods Genotypes of AGT gene A-6G,T174M and G-217A polymorphisms in 177 aged EH patients and 86 sex and age-matched controls were analyzed with gene chip technology.Results The A-6G and T174M polymorphisms of AGT gene were significantly associated with EH.The numbers of the three genotypes of A-6G were 113,58 and 6 in the patient group and 70,15 and 1 in the control group(P= 0.014)and those of T174M were 94,77 and 6,60,25 and 1(P=0.031),respectively.G-217A polymorphism was not related to EH.Individuals carrying A-6G AA and T174M CC genotypes showed 57% and 56% lower risk of EH(OR=0.43;95%CI=0.23-0.82 and OR=0.44;95%CI=0.25-0.79, respectively).Conclusions The A-6G AA and the T174M CC genotype may be related with decreased risk of EH and G-217A polymorphism may have little role in the etiology of EH in Han nationality.
