ABSTRACT
Objective To explore a scientific and reasonable fiscal input mechanism for public hospitals, in order to fully leverage the policy guidance and efficiency of such funding.Methods With literature review, expert consultation and demonstration, a basic subsidy model for public hospitals was established.According to the past operation data of 4 public hospitals in Baoshan district of Shanghai, the study figured out specific subsidy standards.Results The basic subsidy for public hospitals should be determined according to the number of approved beds, the number of outpatients and emergency visits, hospital bed days, surgeries, key services, and the quality and efficiency of work.In Baoshan district, the standard reference value of subsidy for each approved bed, each outpatient and emergency visit, each bed-day, each surgical operation is 42 096 yuan, 27.9 yuan, 104.9 yuan and 244 yuan respectively.The standard value of subsidy is 100 yuan per bed for critically ill inpatients.For patients under clinical pathway management, the subsidy is 300 yuan per case, and for hospital maternal care, it is 150 yuan per person.Conclusions The basic subsidy model for public hospitals has overcome the shortcomings of fiscal input based on hospital scale or hospital workload, and established an incentive mechanism to promote the implementation of key services.These measures can improve the operation mechanism of public hospitals and encourage them to play their role of public welfare as designed.
ABSTRACT
p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (p70S6K) can integrate nutrient and growth factor signals to promote cell growth and survival. We report our molecular characterization of the complementary DNA (cDNA) that encodes the goat p70S6K gene 40S ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) (GenBank accession GU144017) and its 3' noncoding sequence in Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats (Capra hircus). Goat S6K1 cDNA was 2,272 bp and include an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,578 bp, corresponding to a polypeptide of 525 amino acids, and a 694-residue 3' noncoding sequence with a polyadenylation signal at nucleotides 2,218 to 2,223. The relative abundance of S6K1 mRNA was measured by real-time PCR in 6 tissues, and p70S6K expression was examined by immunohistochemistry in heart and testis. The phosphorylation of p70S6K is regulated by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in fetal fibroblasts.
ABSTRACT
The study aims at cloning the CDS fragment of erk2 gene cDNA in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goat and analyzing its tissue-specific expression, erk2 gene cDNA was cloned by RT-PCR. The nucleotide sequence was analyzed by Blast and amino acid sequence was analyzed by online softwares SMART and Psite. The tissue-specific expression pattern of erk2 was analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR. The expression of erk2 in testis of goat was detected by Immunohistochemistry. The cloned erk2 gene cDNA (GenBank Accession No. JX569765) was 1 083 bp in length, including a complete ORF encoding 360 amino acids residues. The amino acid sequence shares 100% identity with the Bos Taurus ERK2 (Bos Taurus BC133588.1). Analysis by SMART suggests that the encoded protein contained a "TEY" structure and an S-TKc domain possessing serine/threonine kinase catalytic activity. Analysis with Psite indicates one cAMP-/cGMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation site, 3 protein kinase C phosphorylation sites, 5 casein kinase II phosphorylation sites, 2 protein kinases ATP-binding region signatures and one serine/threonine protein kinases active-site signature in this protein. Analysis by Psort (k-NN prediction) suggestes that this protein most probably is localized in cytoplasm. The results of quantitative RT-PCR show that the expression of erk2 mRNA was higher in heart, skin and breast, whereas lower in spleen and kidney. ERK2 protein was detected in testis by immunohistochemistry.
