ABSTRACT
To study the current situation of Chinese medicine services from both perspective of supply and demand, looking to promote the healthy development of Chinese medicine community health service strategy. Questionnaire survey was conducted to practitioners of 14 community health service centers in Longhua district (80) and service objects (800). Ratios and SWOT methods were used for analysis. 75 qualified practitioners and 736 qualified service objects questionnaire recoveries showed that there are different degrees of commands from both sides, different options on therapeutic methods and lack of practitioners. It is suggested that community health service center should supply TCM service according to different time, different place and different patient on different type and levels.
ABSTRACT
The observation of similarities between the self-renewal mechanisms of stem cells and cancer cells has led to the new concept of the cancer stem cell. In cases of leukemia, multiple myeloma, and breast cancer, cells with a high selfrenewal potential have been identified. Furthermore, investigators have shown these cells' ability to drive the formation and growth of the tumor. Brain tumors have also been reported to possess a subpopulation of cancer stemlike cells that have the ability to proliferate, self-renew, and be multipotent. When grafted into mice, these cells are also able to generate a tumor that recapitulates that of the patient from whom the cells were derived. The identification and characterization of this new category of cells call for new therapies capable of selectively targeting and killing these multifaceted cells.
