摘要
The unclear connotation and fragmented governance of the multi-tiered medical security system pose challenges to its high-quality development.This article redefines the concept and connotation of the multi-tiered medical security system using holistic governance theory.It distinguishes the bottom layer,basic layer,and supplementary layer from the perspective of the essential attributes and direct functions of each system.Furthermore,from the perspective of holistic governance,the article analyzes the current reform practice and finds that fragmented management thinking,unclear positioning of sub-system functions,insufficient policy coordination,single participation subject,and lack of equal negotiation mechanisms are constraints on the overall effectiveness of the multi-tiered medical security system.Therefore,it is necessary to adopt systematic and targeted reform measures from the perspective of holistic governance to improve the system.

Objective: To analyze the drug resistance and multilocus sequence typing of five types of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) isolated from diarrhea outpatients of diarrhea comprehensive monitoring designated hospital in Qingpu District, Shanghai from 2015 to 2019. Methods: From January 2015 to December 2019, five types of DEC, isolated and identified from diarrhea outpatient cases' anal swabs of the Qingpu branch of Zhongshan Hospital were collected to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration by using the micro broth dilution susceptibility test. The strains, resistant to the third-generation cephalosporins or carbapenems, or producing ESBLs, were selected based on the results of sensitivity tests and determined by WGS. The MLST typing of DEC was analyzed based on the WGS technology and the minimum spanning tree was constructed by BioNumerics 7.6 software to analyze the local dominant flora. Results: A total of 513 strains of DEC were detected and isolated from 4 494 anal swabs, with a detection rate of 11.42%. About 500 strains were tested for drug sensitivity to nine antibiotics in four classes, including 330 strains of enterotoxigenic E.coli (ETEC), 72 strains of enteroaggregative E.coli (EAEC), 95 strains of enteropathogenic E.coli (EPEC), 1 strain of enterohemorrhagic E.coli (EHEC), and 2 strains of enteroinvasive E.coli (EIEC). From 2015 to 2019, the resistance rate of cefotaxime-clavulanic acid was significantly different (P<0.05). The resistance rate of virulence types of DEC to nalixic acid was significantly different (P<0.05). About 71 strains of DEC were determined by WGS, and 77 drug-resistant genes were detected. Strains were classified into 32 ST subtypes, with the dominant genotypes being ST-1491 (29.6%, 21/71) and ST-10 Complex (23.9%, 17/71). All ST-1491 produced ESBLs, which were blaCTX-M gene mutant strains. The dominant type of ST-10 complex was ST-218 (35.3%, 6/17). In addition, 8 strains of EAEC, 14 strains of EPEC and 49 strains of ETEC were classified into 7, 14 and 18 ST subtypes, respectively. Conclusion: The drug resistance of DEC strains from the diarrhea outpatient case of Qingpu District is serious. The ST types of EAEC and EPEC are highly polymorphic. The dominant ST types of DEC are basically consistent with the common genotypes in southeast China.

The nursing care assistance system in Germany is an integral part of the overall payment of long-term care insurance,and as the last line of defense of"multiple subjects sharing",its payment mechanism accurately identifies individual overflow nursing care needs and provides differentiated guarantee.This study proposes the"risk-embedded need spillover theory"based on the need spillover theory and applies this theory to analyze how the payment mechanism of care assistance system in Germany provides differentiated guarantee,and found that the payment mechanism classified families'ability and resources from the perspective of risk.In the context of building a care protection system,learning Germany's experience is an effective way to cope with the problem of inadequate care protection in China.
摘要
Glutathione (GSH) is a chief cellular antioxidant, affecting stem cell functions. The cellular GSH level is dynamically altered by the redox buffering system and transcription factors, including NRF2. Additionally, GSH is differentially regulated in each organelle. We previously reported a protocol for monitoring the real-time GSH levels in live stem cells using the reversible GSH sensor FreSHtracer. However, GSH-based stem cell analysis needs be comprehensive and organelle-specific. Hence, in this study, we demonstrate a detailed protocol to measure the GSH regeneration capacity (GRC) in living stem cells by measuring the intensities of the FreSHtracer and the mitochondrial GSH sensor MitoFreSHtracer using a high-content screening confocal microscope. This protocol typically analyses the GRC in approximately 4 h following the seeding of the cells onto plates. This protocol is simple and quantitative. With some minor modifications, it can be employed flexibly to measure the GRC for the whole-cell area or just the mitochondria in all adherent mammalian stem cells.

【Objective】 To investigate the effects of biomimetic bone trabecular with the same porosity and pore size and regular porous structure on the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of osteoblasts, so as to provide theoretical basis for the improvement of osseointegration performance of titanium alloy implants. 【Methods】 The biomimetic bone trabecular and regular porous structures with the same porosity and pore size were generated by computer-aided software, and then processed into disc-shaped Ti6Al4V scaffolds with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 3 mm by selective laser melting technology. MC3T3-E1 cells, the precursor cells of mouse osteoblasts in the logarithmic growth phase, were seeded on two kinds of scaffolds and divided into biomimetic bone trabecular group and regular porous structure group. After 3 hours of culture, acridine orange staining and phalloidin /DAPI staining were used to evaluate the number of cell adhesion. After 3 days of culture, the scaffolds were examined by scanning electron microscopy to evaluate the adhesion state of cells. After 1, 3, and 5 days of culture, the scaffolds were taken for CCK8 detection to observe the proliferation of cells. After 7 and 14 days of differentiation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was detected. After 14 days of differentiation, the expressions of osteogenesis-related genes (ALP, OCN, RUNX2) were detected by RT-PCR. After 30 days of differentiation, the scaffolds were stained with alizarin red and 100 g/L cetylpyridinium chloride was used to dissolve mineralized nodules. Calcium salt deposition was qualitatively and quantitatively detected to evaluate cell differentiation. 【Results】 The results of acridine orange and phalloidin /DAPI staining showed that the biomimetic trabecular Ti6Al4V scaffold adhered to more MC3T3-E1 cells than the regular porous structure, and the cytoskeleton of the former scaffold was more densely distributed. The results of scanning electron microscopy showed that the pseudopodia of MC3T3-E1 cells on the biomimetic bone trabecular Ti6Al4V scaffold were longer and the extension state was better than that of the regular porous structure. CCK8 test showed that the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells on the biomimetic trabecular bone titanium alloy scaffold was significantly higher than that on the regular porous structure on the 3rd and 5th day, and the difference gradually increased with the increase of time, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The results of cell differentiation test showed that ALP activity on the bionic trabecular scaffold was higher than that on the regular porous structure (P<0.05). The expressions of osteogenic genes (ALP, OCN, RUNX2) in MC3T3-E1 cells on the biomimetic bone trabecular titanium alloy scaffold were significantly higher than those on the regular porous structure (P<0.05). After 30 days of induction, the amount of calcium salt deposited in the bionic trabecular titanium alloy scaffold was significantly larger than that in the regular porous structure (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The biomimetic bone trabecular with a porosity of 65% and an equivalent pore size of 600 μm is more conducive to the adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of mouse osteoblast precursor cells MC3T3-E1 on the titanium alloy scaffold than the regular porous structure with the same porosity and pore size. It is theoretically more conducive to improving the osseointegration performance of titanium alloy implants.

Objective To investigate the distribution of malaria vector Anopheles in Sichuan Province from 2011 to 2021, so as to provide the scientific evidence for improving the surveillance of malaria vector Anopheles and preventing re-establishment of imported malaria in Sichuan Province. Methods The density and species of Anopheles mosquitoes were investigated using human-bait trapping and light trapping techniques in malaria vector surveillance sites of Sichuan Province from 2011 to 2021. The number, population and density of captured Anopheles mosquitoes were collected and descriptively analyzed, and the geographical distribution map of malaria vectors was plotted using the software ArcGIS 10.7 in Sichuan Province. Results A total of 152 243 Anopheles mosquitoes were captured in malaria vector surveillance sites of Sichuan Province from 2011 to 2021, including 150 987 An. sinensis (99.18%) and 1 256 An. anthropophagus (0.82%), and no other Anopheles species were captured. The annual densities of An. sinensis and An. anthropophagus were 0.64 to 1.27 mosquitoes/(person-hour) and 0 to 0.07 mosquitoes/(person-hour) by the human-bait trapping technique, and 6.46 to 26.50 mosquitoes/(light-night) and 0 to 0.82 mosquitoes/(light-night) by the light trapping technique in malaria vector surveillance sites of Sichuan Province from 2011 to 2021. A relatively higher density of An. anthropophagus was seen in Renshou County, Jianyang City, Weiyuan County and Mabian Yi Autonomous County [> 0.40 mosquitoes/(person-hour)] by the human-bait trapping technique, and in Cuiping District and Gaoxian County in Yibin City [> 1.00 mosquito/(light-night)] by the light trapping technique in Sichuan Province from 2011 to 2018, with no An. anthropophagus captured from 2019 to 2021, and a relatively higher density of An. sinensis was detected in Emeishan City, Lushan County, Luojiang District, Tongchuan District and Zhaohua District [> 4.00 mosquitoes/(person-hour)] by the human-bait trapping technique, and in Huili County, Yuexi County, Dechang County, Langzhong City, Pingchang County and Xuanhan County [> 40.00 mosquitoes/(light-night)] by the light trapping technique in Sichuan Province from 2011 to 2021. Conclusions Malaria vectors were still widespread in Sichuan Province from 2011 to 2021, and An. sinensis was the dominant species of malaria vectors. There is still a risk of local re-establishment of imported malaria in Sichuan Province, and it is needed to continue to improve the surveillance of imported malaria cases and malaria vectors.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the epidemiological characters of fresh maxillofacial fractures in hospitalized patients by the retrospective study.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From Jan. 2008 to Dec. 2013, a total of 1 009 patients with fresh maxillofacial fractures treated at Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology were investigated. The data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 21.0.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The male and female ratio was 2.94:1 and 33.5% of the patients aged from 20 to 30 years. The most common cause of the fresh fracture was road traffic accidents (424 cases, 42.0%), followed by tumblings (250 cases, 24.8%) and violence (128 cases, 12.7%). The number of new fracture was increasing gradually in recent years. The patients were at peak of 20-29 years old. The mandibular fracture was the most frequently seen (536 cases, 53.1%), followed by zygomatic complex fractures (233 cases, 23.1%). The simple maxillary fracture was rare and usually combined with other fractures. Infraorbital nerve injury was the most common one in nerve injuries (144 cases). The most common associated injury was extremity injuries (77 cases), followed by thoracic injury (65 cases) and craniocerebral injury (57 cases). Associated injuries were mostly caused by car accidents (127 sites), followed by fall (32 sites). Logictic regression analysis showed that fall and tumbling were risk factors of mandibular and condylar fracture (OR > 1, P < 0.05), while age was a protective factor (OR > 1, P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Oral and maxillofacial fresh fractures most commonly occurred in young people, and the most common cause of fractures was road traffic accidents. Infraorbital nerve was involved frequently. The most common associated injuries was extremity injuries.</p>

In order to investigate the role of melatonin in inhibiting the proliferation of murine gastric cancer and the underlying molecular mechanism, we performed an in vivo study by inoculating murine foregastric carcinoma (MFC) cells in mice, and then tumor-bearing mice were treated with different concentrations of melatonin (i.p.). The changes of Bcl-2, Bax, p21 and p53 expressions in tumor tissue were detected by using real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. We found that: (1) melatonin resulted in reductions of tumor's volume and weight in the gastric cancer-bearing mice and thus showed anti-cancer effect; (2) melatonin reduced Bcl-2 expression, but increased the expression of Bax, p53 and p21 in tumor tissue. Our results suggest that melatonin could inhibit the growth of tumors in gastric cancer-bearing mice through accelerating the apoptosis of tumor cells.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>The tibial plateau is asymmetric with a larger medial plateau. We observed from clinical practice that the shape of the tibial plateau does not always present a larger medial plateau. Tibial plateau also showed other shapes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the anthropometric data of the proximal tibia in a large group of Chinese patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty and to investigate the morphology of the resected proximal tibial surface and its gender differences.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 822 knees (164 males, 658 females) from the Chinese population were measured intraoperatively for medial anteroposterior (MAP) and lateral anteroposterior (LAP) dimensions of the resected proximal tibial surface. The difference of MAP and LAP (DML) was also calculated as MAP minus LAP. We then classified the data into three groups based on the DML (<-2, -2 to 2, and >2 mm) to analyze the morphology of the proximal tibia and its distribution between male and female.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The shape of proximal tibial plateau was of three types: larger medial plateau type, symmetric type, and larger lateral plateau type. There were significant differences between males and females in relation to the shape distribution of the proximal tibial plateau (P < 0.05). Most of the proximal tibial plateau was asymmetric, with 517 of 822 (62.9%) tibia having a DML >2 mm and 120 of 822 (14.6%) tibia having a DML<-2 mm. Only 185 of 822 (22.5%) tibia had a DML between -2 and 2 mm.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The results of this study can be used as a guideline to design tibial components with different DMLs to better match the different anthropometry of the resected tibial surface.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the efficiency of navigation system for orbital wall reconstruction in unilateral orbital fractures.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifteen patients (7 male and 8 female) with unilateral orbital fracture underwent orbital reconstruction with the help of intraoperative navigation system. The average age was 34.3 ± 9.5 years. All patients underwent spiral CT scanning preoperatively, and the CT data was imported to the BrainLab navigation system (Germany, BrainLab company). The orbit of the intact side was mirrored to the opposite side as the reference for pre-operative planning. The titanium mesh was mounted on the resin template made by rapid prototyping machine based on the mirrored CT data. When the injury was limited, the hydroxyapatite sheet was used for the orbital wall reconstruction. During the operation, the real-time navigation helped to ensure precise placement. The re-establishing result was assessed based on the postoperative CT data with the following four variables: the volumetric difference between the bilateral orbit, the volume of the herniated soft tissue, the global projection and the discrepancy between the simulated and the achieved position of the reconstructed orbital wall. The reconstructive discrepancy was measured only in the titanium plate grafting cases.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were no serious complications such as infection, graft rejection and optic nerve injury in any case. Preoperatively, the average degree of enophthalmos was (3.5 ± 1.6) mm, the average volumetric difference between the injured and the unaffected orbit was (4.5 ± 1.8) ml, and the average volume of the herniated orbital soft tissue was (2.1 ± 0.7) ml. Postoperatively, the three values were respectively reduced to (1.3 ± 0.6) mm, (1.8 ± 0.9) ml and (0.7 ± 0.3) ml. The discrepancy of the medial and inferior wall were (2.5 ± 0.6) mm and (2.1 ± 0.4) mm.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The intraoperative use of navigation system for the orbital wall reconstruction in unilateral orbital fractures can provide reliable accuracy and achieve satisfactory results.</p>
