RESUMO
ObjectiveCOVID-19 vaccination is critical for pandemic control， especially in the elderly. Compared with developed countries， the rate of full vaccination and booster vaccination for the elderly in China is low， making it urgent to accelerate the process of vaccination for the elderly in China. MethodsThis study summarizes the policy experiences of the United Kingdom， the United States， Singapore， and South Korea by sorting relevant literature and government websites， analyzes the current performance and reasons for COVID-19 vaccination among the elderly in China， and explores strategic suggestions for improving COVID-19 vaccination in the elderly in terms of vaccination priority groups， service provision， and vaccination intention. ResultsIt is important to vaccination rate for the elderly in China by focusing on the priority vaccination population， establishing a permanent mechanism based on the family doctor system， and increasing the willingness to vaccinate. ConclusionContinued reinforcement of COVID-19 vaccination for the elderly is needed， and the existing vaccination model is overwhelming. We should establish a permanent mechanism based on the family doctor system to transfer from a mobilization model to a regular vaccination model.
RESUMO
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor of the liver characterized by a high incidence rate, rapid progression, and poor prognosis. In recent years, it has been found that non-coding RNA (ncRNA) participates in the regulation of tumor immunity in tumor microenvironment (TME) and in turn affects the biological behavior of HCC. This article briefly describes the regulatory effect of ncRNA on immune cells in TME and introduces the potential value of ncRNA in the diagnosis and treatment of HCC, in order to provide potential diagnostic and treatment strategies for HCC.
RESUMO
This article summarizes the experience in the teaching model of flipped classroom combined with group learning in the course of biostatistics in Duke University and discusses the application of this teaching model in universities and colleges in China.The study results show that this teaching model introduces group learning in flipped classroom to develop continuous peer-assisted learning.Meanwhile,this teaching model follows the process of knowledge internalization and designs four successive steps of individual readiness assessment,team readiness assessment,mini-lectures,and application activity,in order to strengthen the understanding and practical application of key points.This teaching model also establishes a transparent mechanism for individual and curriculum evaluation and feedback collection to find and solve the issues in this course.These teaching experiences provide a good reference for the application of flipped classroom in large-class teaching in China.
RESUMO
Objectives:To analyze the influencing factors and status of hospital seeking behavior among floating population by focusing on the function of health insurance , and provide evidence to comprehensively promote tiered health care system in China .Methods:Using data from 2014 National Floating Population Dynamic Monitoring Survey , multivariate logistic regressions were applied to analyze the influencing factors of hospital seeking behavior for inpatient care .Chi-square tests were used to analyze the different proportion of having basic medical insurance reimbursement and reasons for not having it for different hierarchical inpatient care , and T test were used to analyze the ratio of basic medical insurance reimbursement for hospital costs .Results:The proportion of hospitalization at the county level and below was 56.4%among floating population , the proportion of inflow patients being 51.5%and the rest of the hospital population being counted at a proportion of 37.9%, lower than the corresponding proportion of 72.6%among local res-idents derived from the Fifth National Health Services Survey , but this ratio was 78.9%among registered population . The multivariate logistic regression results indicated that demographic , socio-economic and flow characteristics , hospital location and reasons for hospitalization have significantly affected the migrant inpatients facilities , but health insurance did not significantly influence the hospital seeking behaviors among floating population .Conclusions:The proportion of hospitalization at the county level and below was low among migrants and this proportion presented great regional differ -ences;and medical insurance didn't play a guiding role in the diversion of the internal floating population .

RESUMO
Non-governmental organizations ( NGOs) are playing an increasingly significant role in global health governance. This study selected ten key NGOs that play an important role in global health affairs and summarized the tools employed by NGOs participating in global health governance, including nine dimensions:“Generating informa-tion and evidence/intelligence”, “Cooperation ( Partnerships )”, “Participation”, “Consultation”, “Transparen-cy”,“Organizational adequacy/system design”, “Formulating policy / strategic direction”, “Responsibility” and“Regulation”. Four types of NGOs including Operational, Supportive, Advocacy and Integrated ones presented com-monness and their priorities in the selection of tools to participate in global health governance. Meanwhile, China should strive to nurture local NGOs, which should pay attention to“Transparency”,“Participation” and“Cooperation ( Partnerships)”.
RESUMO
NGOs play an important role in global health governance, and have become the key partners of World Health Organization ( WHO) , European and American governments. The goal of the sustainable development of the United Nations also proposes to strengthen NGOs as global health governance partners. Taking WHO, the Unit-ed States and Britain as case examples, this study reviewed the NGOs positioning and cooperation in their global health strategies. The results found that these entities explicitly define the roles of NGOs and strengthen cooperation in their global health strategies to expand their influence in the field of global health. Results also found that WHO, US and UK have given NGOs a clear positioning, that is, they have strengthened the mutual cooperation ( partner-ships) in the same way of expanding their influence in the field of global health for China’s global health strategy de-velopment referred to those NGOs. Therefore, China should incorporate NGOs into the global health strategy, estab-lish NGOs management and cooperation mechanism and define their roles and make it an important complement to global health. China should also strictly select international NGOs to cooperate with and strive to nurture and support Chinese NGOs to participate in global health programs set by the Government, formulate the cooperation list and neg-ative list for NGOs, and at the same time strengthen the supervision and audit to avoid possible risks of NGOs.
RESUMO
The International Foundations have invested large sums of funds to participate in global health gov-ernance and greatly contributed to the promotion of global health. The foundations have extensive experience in the management of global health projects. Based on the nature of the foundation and its structure in the government, this paper compares the management methods of project management, project selection, project planning, project imple-mentation, project follow-up, project evaluation and project completion in two stages of the Gates Foundation and Global Fund. It summarizes the project management features, provided references for China participating in global health governance.
RESUMO
The international Non-governmental Organizations ( NGOs) have been playing an important role in the field of global health, which also represents a channel for countries' international experience. This research fo-cuses on the role of NGOs in global health, their governance tools, global health program management experience, and current status of development for Chinese NGOs. In light of international experiences, we suggest the Chinese government to support a few top NGOs to engage intensely in global health, build management and cooperation mechanism with NGO which will be considered as important complemertary role. The Chinese government shonld implement “major support and comprehensive improvement” strategy.
RESUMO
The global health system is undergoing dramatic reforms, which would further bring about signifi-cant changes in key global health stakeholders. As a key actor and decision maker in global health system, NGO owns extensive experiences in global health governance and can provide a systematic experience for China’s participa-tion in global health decision-making as a reference model. This paper aimed at studying the roles of NGOs in the field of global health, the roles which can be summarized in four aspects of advocacy, implementation, support, and community mobilization. In addition, NGOs also developed some potential risks and unexpected impacts on global health governance. As represented by some typical examples, there occurred conflicts of interests between some NGOs and the local governments. A number of local health systems suffered from a considerable brain drain of health personnel to NGOs, especially the health officials and technical staff, which weakened the country’s health workforce and system. The financing model driven by external donors could weaken the influences and capacity of local govern-ments on health planning. As a key member involved in global health, we that suggested China and Chinese NGOs should strategically and rationally borrow their experiences and try to avoid these risks.
RESUMO
The international NGOs have been playing an important role in global health governance, and also represent a channel for countries to exert international influence. However, the Chinese NGOs are not actively in-volved in global health so far. This purpose of this paper is to analyze and show the picture of the social and political context of NGOs in China, to learn from the experience of emerging global health-related NGOs through describing their development, provides a strategy for China to support NGO participation in the global health governance, and to put forward recommendation on how to develop China’s global health NGOs based on experiences from international counterparts. The results of this paper found that China has a better international environment, which is a beneficial opportunity for the country to engage in global health governance. Domestic social NGOs are developing progressive-ly, while they are still being harnessed by political safety considerations, for example being affiliated to public admin-istrative system and policy orientation development. However, this would possibly not obstruct health-related NGOs for its minimal political relevance as it is oriented at professionalism, i. e. specialization, public service attributes and relevance to public governance. Therefore, health-related NGOs can have more support from governments since their number is relatively small, with less foundation ( they are undeveloped) and less participation in international cooper-ation ( they lack international involvement) . International experience indicates that supports from governmental enti-ties represent a backbone of the emerging institutions in the participation into the global health programs. The author suggests that the Chinese government should establish a specific global health development strategy of “prioritizing and improving the whole” and setting up the global development strategy in the county. The government should attach more importance to the government-owned and affiliated and private-capital-supported (social elites) NGOs, guide and subsidize them to the international stage, to engage intensely in global health.
RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the influential factors, trend and equity of preventive care utilization in China from 1991 to 2011. Methods:Using China Health and Nutrition Survey ( CHNS) , logistic regression was applied to explore influential factors, study time trend of preventive care utilization, and examine its equity by Concentration In-dex. Results: Total preventive care services and physical examination utilization significantly increased. Significant inequity still exit in terms of general physical examination and blood text, however, disappeared with respect to blood pressure screening and gynecological examination. Main influential factors of preventive care utilization includes in-come, gender, education and insurance, etc. Conclusion:Preventive care utilization had significantly grown with de-creasing inequalities, but inequity still exit, particularly for general physical examination and blood test.
RESUMO
After introduction into Chinese academy, and in the application in health care domain, the usage ofmotivation and related concepts has been changed. The changes were partly due to pragmatic utility, and caused confusion in the application of motivation theory in Chinese human resource for health. Both English and Chinese lit-erature was reviewed and systematic literature review was applied. We analyzed the different definitions of motiva-tion in English, and how they were used and understand in Chinese academia in history. Motivation was divided into three Chinese concepts, representing the process of motivation, inner driver of motivation and psychological state of being motivated. The other usage changes include willful exchange ofincentive andmotivation;motivationbeing used more as a means to motivate than a motivational process;the result of motivation as an aroused psychologi-cal state not seriously defined. Systematic literature review revealed the distribution of various motivation topics in Chinese literature and supported the abovementioned arguments. These changes of usage could cause barriers to re-search of human resource for health in China. It is recommended that usage ofmotivation should be clarified in ac-ademia in China and the process of motivation rather than motivation as a managerial means deserves more attention.
