Equity is one of the major goals China's recent health system reform. This study aimed to evaluate equality distribution resources and services between hospitals primary care institutions. Data this were drawn from China Health Statistical Year Books. We calculated Gini coefficients based on population size geographic size, respectively, for indicators: number institutions, workers beds; concentration index (CI) per capita outpatient visits annual hospitalization rates. The against ranged...
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been shown to have powerful antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties that can regulate multiple cardiovascular functions. However, its precise role in diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis remains unclear. We report here H2S reduced aortic atherosclerotic plaque formation with reduction superoxide (O2 (-)) generation the adhesion molecules streptozotocin (STZ)-induced LDLr(-/-) mice but not LDLr(-/-)Nrf2(-/-) mice. In vitro, inhibited foam cell formation,...
Abstract Background Individual protective behaviors play an important role in the control of spread infectious diseases. This study aimed to investigate adoption by Chinese citizens amid COVID-19 outbreak and its associated factors. Methods An online cross-sectional survey was conducted from 22 January 14 February 2020 through Wenjuanxing platform, measuring their knowledge, risk perception, negative emotion, response official communication, relation COVID-19. A total 3008 people completed...
Since metabolic process differs between humans and mice, studies were performed in hamsters, which are generally considered to be a more appropriate animal model for of obesity-related disorders. The modulation gut microbiota, bile acids the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) axis is correlated with obesity-induced insulin resistance hepatic steatosis mice. However, interactions among FXR disorders remained largely unexplored hamsters. In current study, hamsters fed 60% high-fat diet (HFD)...
Abstract Background The short version of the World Health Organization's Quality Life Instrument (WHOQOL-BREF) is widely validated and popularly used in assessing subjective quality life (QOL) patients general public. We examined its psychometric properties a large sample community residents mainland China. Methods WHOQOL-BREF was administered to 1052 adult major metropolitan city southern structural integrity 4-factor model confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) relationship QOL with...
Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy type 2 (BSCL2) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by almost complete loss of adipose tissue, insulin resistance and fatty liver. Here, we create the first murine model BSCL2 targeted disruption seipin, causative gene for BSCL2. Compared with their wild-type littermates, seipin−/− mice are viable normal weight but display significantly reduced tissue mass, hepatic steatosis, glucose intolerance hyperinsulinemia. The levels leptin...
Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy 2 (BSCL2) is caused by loss-of-function mutations in SEIPIN, a protein implicated both adipogenesis and lipid droplet expansion but whose molecular function remains obscure. Here, we identify physical functional interactions between SEIPIN microsomal isoforms of glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) multiple organisms. Compared to controls, GPAT activity was elevated SEIPIN-deficient cells tissues kinetic values were altered. Increased appears...

Objective Deteriorations in the patient-provider relationship China have attracted increasing attention international community. This study aims to explore role of trust patient satisfaction with hospital inpatient care, and how is shaped from perspectives both patients providers. Methods We adopted a mixed methods approach comprising multivariate logistic regression model using secondary data (1200 people experiences over past year) fifth National Health Service Survey (NHSS, 2013)...
Objective To determine whether the New Cooperative Medical Insurance Scheme (NCMS) is associated with decreased levels of catastrophic health expenditure and reduced impoverishment due to medical expenses in rural households China. Methods An analysis a national representative sample 38,945 (129,635 people) from 2008 National Health Service Survey was performed. Logistic regression models used binary indicator as dependent variable, household consumption, demographic characteristics,...
This study aims to examine the prevalence and predictors associated with self-medication, related consequences in Wuhan, China.Two-hundred-sixty residents were interviewed from randomly selected four districts of China. A modified version Anderson's health behavioral model was used survey collect information self-medication behavior. Multivariable logistic regression analyses measure correlates self-medication.Nearly half respondents would select 39.1% see a doctor if they felt sick. The...
The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake resulted in extensive loss of life and physical psychological injuries for survivors. This research examines the relationship between social support health-related quality survivors.A multistage cluster sampling strategy was employed to select participants from 11 shelters nine counties exposed different degrees damage, a questionnaire survey. were asked complete Short Form 36 Social Support Rating Scale eight months after struck. A total 1617 returned...
<h3>Background</h3> The rapid spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has attracted global concerns. This study aimed to identify factors contributing the high prevalence MDR-TB in China9s Heilongjiang province. <h3>Methods</h3> A cross-sectional survey following WHO/International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease guidelines was conducted with consecutive recruitment patients TB 30 counties selected at random 2004. total 1995 were tested for MDR-TB. Factors associated...
Aim To assess the impact of National Essential Medicines Policy (NEMP) on use medicines in government-owned primary care institutions Hubei province China. Study design Quasi-experimental and time-trend analysis. Methods A systematic random sampling strategy was employed to select 55 800 prescriptions from 18 organizations who progressively implemented NEMP January 2009 July 2011. We examined change patterns prescriptions. The facilities that at a later stage served as control. Results An...
Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy type 2 (BSCL2) is the most severe form of human lipodystrophy, characterized by an almost complete loss adipose tissue and insulin resistance. BSCL2 caused loss-of-function mutations in BSCL2/SEIPIN gene, which upregulated during adipogenesis abundantly expressed tissue. The physiological function SEIPIN mature adipocytes, however, remains to be elucidated. Here, we generated adipose-specific Seipin knockout (ASKO) mice, exhibit adipocyte...
This study aimed to measure the knowledge and perceptions of medical, public health, nursing students about climate change its impacts, identify associations between perceptions. Data were from a nationwide cross-sectional survey 1387 sampled in five different regional universities China (April⁻May 2017). The participants collected by self-administered questionnaires. We found that most respondents believed is generally "bad" (83%) bad for human health (88%), while 67% controllable. vast...
