.jpg "resorbable sutures")
Recently, the Beijing Health Bureau announced social capital held medical institutions to encourage and guide measures. Reporters learned from the meeting, Beijing larger number of medical institutions, social capital, but the number of small beds. Last year, the establishment of medical institutions in Beijing, a total of 94,581 beds, in close to 10 million beds in social capital account for only about 10,000. The main structure has recently completed Asia s largest single owner of the Peking University International Hospital medical building with 1800 beds, the hospital will change the current operational structure.
It is reported that Peking University International Hospital, Peking University International Hospital Group, the project is the focus of development and strategic platforms, is the Founder Group s investment in the medical industry s core projects. At present, Peking University International Hospital, the main structure has been successfully completed, is expected to operate in the formal end of 2012. Medical social capital, Beijing, do as the pilot, Peking University International Hospital will be included in health care areas, industry sources said the hospital, once fully operational, in bringing more international, humane medical service concept, but also will benefit the general public, largely to ease Beijing Zhongguancun area and northern big city problem of people seeing a doctor.
Last year, the State Council have been introduced to encourage and guide social capital to do health-related advice. Beijing Municipal Health Bureau also hopes to encourage and guide social capital to do medicine, so that social capital in high-end services, features and other aspects of their potential specialist to form an effective complement to public hospitals. Peking University International Hospital of Beijing Medical building fit the development, in line with the overall development plan of Beijing regional health planning and health care resources, and increasing urban population, urban to rural areas to adapt to the trend of expansion space.
Peking University International Hospital is an internationally oriented non-profit integrated health and research university hospital, located in the northwestern Haidian District, Beijing Changping District at the junction with the Zhongguancun Life Science Park. Located in this northern edge of Beijing to make up for the relative lack of medical resources, to improve Beijing s health care environment. Peking University International Hospital project total investment of 40 billion yuan, total construction area of ??420,000 square meters. Among them, the medical complex building construction area of ??250,000 square meters, number of beds in 1800.
Peking University International Hospital, adhering to the "patient-centered" concept of medical services, fully embodies the new green hospital, the number of hospitals and people-oriented characteristics and principles. Hospital inpatient-lit, spacious room; as much as possible in the treatment process to meet patient privacy needs; designed barrier-free access for handicapped and disabled special bathroom; set up dining, shopping and other commercial services and facilities to meet the patient s family and their accompanying persons needs. Many user-friendly settings, will be changed "hospital like a maze, a doctor running around," the medical environment.
Municipal Health Bureau official said, to encourage and guide social capital held in medical institutions, help to increase the city s medical and health resources, medical resources to ease the current situation is not balanced, multi-level and at the same time meet the diversified demand for medical services, but also conducive to a competitive the mechanism. As a leading model of international hospital, Peking University International Hospital of Beijing to Medicare patients, patients with commercial insurance, public health and foreign patients a full range of patients, the whole process of health services. More importantly, Peking University International Hospital will be included in insurance coverage, that is, people will enjoy the Peking University International Hospital, and there is no difference in public hospitals for medical reimbursement. This is different from the many advantages of private hospitals will attract more and more ordinary people to come for medical treatment.
Peking University Peking University International Hospital projects are relying on the International Hospital Group and Peking University Founder Group, the rich resources, is to have all the medical pharmaceutical industry chain Holdings. In the new medical reform to encourage social capital held in medical institutions of the environment, Peking University International Hospital Group has been active and difficult to explore. In this regard, Peking University International Hospital Group honorary chairman, Han Qide, director of Peking University have used "a world-class leader in health care reform, the hospital" to its position and expectations. I believe Peking University International Hospital will use its unique strengths, effectively improve the "seeing a doctor, medical care," the status quo, so that ordinary people can really appreciate the first-class and international standards of medical services.
the developed to provide human tactile feel digital device fingertips
University at Buffalo Virtual Reality Laboratory scientists have developed a "finger digital device", worn on the index finger, the user as long as Zhiyi Zhi, Move your finger, you can replace the mouse and keyboard input devices will be information , the control computer and electronic products. It can be used in future medical, computer and computer games.
This device is equipped with three sensors, it has a wide range of functions. Among them, the position sensor to track the digital control of three-dimensional space, and to be informed of its direction of motion. Accelerometer can measure its speed. Fingertip force sensor measures the pressure.
Sensors to obtain information sent to the computer software system, if the user Move your fingers, this system will be through the acceleration and location data to track it. If the user touches the object a week, combined with the action force feedback data, we can determine the shape of the object. This issue also know that even the user s finger is caught in a knock or a table or a bomb.
In the human skin surface, the distribution of numerous temperature, touch, pressure sensation, and pain receptors (sensory nerve endings). In an interview with the surrounding environment of these receptors after stimulation through the sensory nerve, the information transmission of the central nervous system that allows us to detect changes in the environment, perception of stimuli in nature, and accordingly respond appropriately.
Currently, this invention has been patented, is expected to be put on the market within three years.
Australian scientists claim breast cancer may be transmitted through sexual and bath
University of New South Wales, a researcher said, cancer may be sexually transmitted. Breast cancer in Australian women he found the same virus that causes cervical cancer.
Survey: Nearly half of women with breast cancer are caused by cervical cancer virus
University of New South Wales, Professor Emeritus James Lawson and his colleagues published an analysis of the results for DNA and found that 50 of 24 breast cancer samples was HPV type 18, indicating that breast cancer patients has lead to cervical cancer of the same virus.
Lawson said that the human papilloma virus may be spread through sexual intercourse or bathing, the virus from the genital area may be transported through the pipe nipple into the breast. Of course, the bath of human papilloma virus can also spread out. However, human papilloma virus cause breast cancer or breast cancer patients are more susceptible to the virus also requires more research.
Example: a young female patients are more dangerous
Lawson pointed out in the paper, a review of research relevant information in 2005 show that on average, human papilloma virus infection in patients with breast cancer than those not infected with the virus tests show about a young 8-year-old patients. He said that this increases the credibility of communication theory, because the human papilloma virus in younger women, who more common, and women older than they are more likely to have multiple sexual partners.
Treatment: anti-cervical cancer vaccine?
Lawson said that if the human papilloma virus really cause breast cancer and cervical cancer, "Australian of the Year" invented by Professor Ian Frazer s cervical cancer vaccine should be able to reduce the breast cancer rate. Lawson said he is currently working on a study on research in this area.
Question: is still a lack of credible evidence
But there are 81 Swiss women scientists do the research, and found no human papilloma virus causes breast cancer evidence. Cancer Council Australia, Professor Lord Xiaoerwo said: "At present we only have some small studies have shown that human papilloma virus and there is a link between breast cancer, but researchers did not give evidence of a causal relationship between them and I think that needs further study, find more convincing evidence. "
Nine chaos exposure medical fees charged standard price difficult to manage lag
From April this year, Guangxi carried out inspection of medical and health services, prices, uncovered a total of 558 cases of illegal price, the amount of alleged illegal price $ 340 million, has more than 300 million economic sanctions. Inspectors found that medical and health services mainly in the nine aspects of these problems exist because the medical fee policies, and there are all kinds, plus there are a number of medical institutions, income generation, the idea due to increased unit effectiveness.
Nine health issue fee deposit
According to reports, these nine questions are:
Recurring charges.
Price regulations, all surgical equipment and consumables needed in conventional pricing has been included in the cost of surgery, are not separately priced; Also in the \"excluded content\", \"description\" in the clear can be subject to the special price of foreign medical supplies and materials such as the name of the project, other projects are not included in the charges and materials are not allowed. Can be part of the medical units still charge these fees.
Expand the range of charges.
Part of the medical institutions to collect all newborn babies born in the radiation emergency treatment fees, infant and child health medical examinations, neonatal scale inspection, health counseling and other expenses; health advisory fees charged to patients, health education and disease costs, daily living skills assessment and Conductive Education training and other expenses.
Self-reliance project fees.
Such as CT scans of patients to receive the image recording fee, CT laser sheet fee; to collect disposable plastic potty patients, health kits, hygiene sets of cups, the patient identification card, the cost of materials (network maintenance) and other items.
Implementation has not reduced the price of medical services.
Autonomous Price Bureau has lowered subcutaneous injection, intradermal injection, intravenous injection, venous blood, venous blood and other parts of the price of medical services, but some medical institutions according to the former standard charges.
Price higher than the government set prices.
Some medical institutions outside government pricing, raising the standard charge to the patient. Such as patient check-pregnant women receive fetal electrocardiogram costs 22.2 yuan / times, the required standard of 20 yuan / times; community patients, B-routine examination requirements of 24 yuan / part time, it has charged 30 yuan / parts; of patients receive safe catheter was 35.1 yuan / branch, the provisions of 25.32 yuan / support.
Service charges are not only less service.
Some hospital patients to receive \"special treatment by endoscopy,\" \"special treatment by colonoscopy\", X-ray computed tomography (CT) scan (three-dimensional reconstruction) and conventional susceptibility testing and other expenses, but did not provide to patients medical services; on the occasion of hospital emergency patients received consultation fees, but did not actually carry out inter-hospital consultation; on routine ECG of patients do not charge for services rendered in accordance with the provisions of additional ECG leads fees.
Exceeds the rate of price increase fees charged for medical supplies.
Autonomous individual medical institution violates the relevant provisions of the Price Bureau, collected over a one-time price increase rate of medical materials fee.
Inflated the number of arbitrary charges in disguise.
Individual health care institutions in order to avoid inspection, a more subtle and sophisticated means more charges in disguise, in order to reduce medical waste material, to make up for economic losses as an excuse to hospital, in a one-time supplies, medicines, blood products, etc. make a big fuss, making a one-time consumables sales number greater than supply; blood products sales volume greater than the number of databases; drug sales amount greater than the number of libraries.
Management of medical units of the charges are still irregularities in the office.
According to reports, price departments at all levels of medical institutions in recent years, although the specification of continuous rectification, the hospital in charge of publicity, price tag has been more standardized, but upon inspection there are still shortcomings, such as some medical institutions publicity hospital drug prices contents of a single card, coverage is small, prices are not up to date, so that these patients can not fully understand the relevant information on the price charged.
Four main reasons why so difficult to regulate health services charges
Check the price of health services every year, every year some of the problems even check every year. In this regard, the inspectors believe that the main effect by the four main reasons why so difficult to regulate medical and health services fees.
Inspectors analysis, primarily because of some sense of medical and health institutions system, some unit leaders on the management fee not pay enough attention, lack of full price management personnel, or personnel without professional training fees, resulting in individual health care institutions and medical services for pharmaceuticals price policy not know much about, not through understanding.
Followed by medical and health institutions is lagging behind prices management. Medical technology is changing rapidly, making the new health care project is gradually increasing. However, due to poor management of the hospital, did not apply in time to report new medical projects, but projects with reference to other medical charges.
The third reason is the lack of financial allocations, the hospital medical institutions to enhance the software and hardware level and improve employee benefits, only the price issue, through to prescription, over-inspection, light ill treatment, with the high price of drugs and treatment and other means more charges in disguise, leading to high medical costs borne by patients, the burden is too heavy, although improving the economic efficiency of this unit, but also caused tension between patient, doctor-patient conflicts increase.
The fourth reason is because health care institutions driven by profit.
Sun Zhigang: basic medical security system innovation
China is a country with a population 1.3 billion, the basic medical insurance system covers all urban and rural residents. This is a heavy task in developing countries, difficult project.
Doctor to reduce the burden on the masses, China decided to start promoting a universal basic health insurance system. Today, health insurance coverage of China in promoting the achievements of the international community has been attention. How to increase substantially in a short time the number of insured three basic health insurance? The protection of the insured population, while the level of health insurance will increase? Medical assistance if the insured due to high rates of change? This reporter interviewed a State Department Sun Zhigang, office director of health reform.
Correspondents: the establishment of a universal basic medical insurance system, people are concerned about how we achieve universal coverage?
Sun Zhigang: Create a universal basic health care system, build a social safety net is an important part of medical reform, medical reform is the foundation and the core position. To medical insurance for urban workers, the new rural cooperative medical insurance for urban residents as the main urban and rural medical assistance to reveal all the details, supplementary medical insurance and other forms of commercial health insurance to supplement the basic medical insurance system constitutes a universal framework. Reform more than two years, the government has increased investment to support farmers, the city, "one old and one small", students and mobile populations to participate in the new rural cooperative medical insurance for urban residents, a special investment funds to address the central nearly 800 million enterprise retirees off bankruptcy participate in health insurance problems left by history. At the same time, increasing the level of Medicare reimbursement, improved methods of payment, to facilitate settlement of the people, enhance the attractiveness of the system. Currently, three basic medical insurance system covers more than 95% of urban and rural residents, the number of participants increased to 1.295 billion people, with 162 million increase over 2008 people. Among them, the number of new rural cooperative insured to 832 million, an increase of 17 million people; comprehensive medical insurance for urban residents pushed, the number of participants reached 216 million people; the number of insured employee health insurance reached 247 million people.
Reporter: With more and more people join the ranks of the basic medical insurance, the coverage at the same time, how to make the security level is not reduced, but improved? Insured people have been what benefits?
Sun Zhigang: more than two years of reform, the new rural cooperative medical insurance for urban residents and government grant standard increase is substantial, from 80 per year per person in 2009 yuan to 120 yuan in 2010, 2011, increased again to 200. People get benefits from Medicare has four main aspects: First, the new rural cooperative medical insurance for urban residents within the hospital reimbursement policy from 2008 to 48%, 54% to 70% this year. The second is to increase the maximum payment limit. 2010, 90% co-ordination in employee health insurance, medical insurance for urban residents, the new rural cooperative maximum payment limit were increased to the average annual wage of local employees, local residents and the national annual disposable income of farmers per capita net income of 6 times in 2011 to 6 times more and not less than $ 50,000. Third, urban residents in general to carry out the new rural cooperative medical insurance and out-patient co-ordination, not only illness but also take into account the protection of minor ailments. As of end of September 2011, more than 90% of the new rural cooperative medical insurance for urban residents carried out in co-ordinating patient co-ordination. Fourth, a substantial increase in rural children with congenital heart disease in patients with leukemia and the level of protection. The actual cost of medical treatment in children with difficult family reimbursement from 40% to 90%, more than 20,000 "two-disease" children benefit, compensation funds reached 326 million yuan.
Reporter: At present, there are some community families with financial difficulties, had serious illness later, it is difficult to afford the high medical costs, how we solve this problem?
Sun Zhigang: medical assistance basic health care system in the referendum is the last one "security line." This year a substantial increase in Medicaid funding in 2011 has raised 17.85 billion yuan of funds, compared with 88.1% growth in 2008; the central government invested 13 billion yuan, more than double than in 2008.

Relief was significantly improved in 2010, each outpatient, hospital visits Medicaid level of 185 yuan and 1751 yuan, respectively, compared with 2008 increased by 29% and 43%. Of course, we also see that the current level of medical assistance needs of the people there is a large gap, "five", we will further increase investment in medical assistance, to increase the relief efforts, and improve aid policy, building strong people see a doctor for medical treatment last a "security line."
Reporter: With economic development, increasing mobility of persons, health care system to meet the needs of social development?
Sun Zhigang: To make people see a doctor for reimbursement easier and more convenient, we have the basic medical security management system is also innovative. Promotion of medical treatment, "Card", co-ordination within the region to achieve real-time settlement of medical expenses. Province, 18 provinces have been carried out real-time networked remote medical billing, a number of places to explore inter-provincial "peer to peer" networking or commission settlement, reducing the masses "run errands" Loaning. Promote the reform of payment methods to explore the implementation by disease, total prepaid capitation payment and so on. Changchun, Chengdu and other places to explore health insurance pay for "negotiating mechanism" to curb the excessive growth of medical costs, reduce the burden on patients to see a doctor.

Although there is no specific definition of what InMedica is the \"gateway\" to connect the medical consulting firm TimGee held in Boston in 2009 connected with medical-related activities described in the wireless LAN and the gateway\\ s speech pointed out that there are two major networks are now off:
One is the gateway device (mobile), the other is a fixed wireless gateway hub, also known as bridge. Mode in the gateway device, the patient may be carrying equipment phones, smart phones, electronic diaries (PDA) or just a wireless activation device. The device can be connected to the hospital\\ s wireless network, wireless LAN or carrier networks. On the bridge, the gateway is fixed, much like the structure of the wireless access point. Patients walk in the hospital, his wireless sensors transmit data to a variety of sensors on.
Scientists create tiny artificial lung to breathe their own growth
According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that U.S. scientists recently released the first results
of a recent study: in the laboratory using stem cells cultured out of the lungs, into mice allows it to survive for 6
hours.
U.S. research team at Harvard Medical School on the rat lung cells removed, leaving only the extracellular matrix of
lung growth as a new "bracket." Then, they "bracket" in the implanted lung cells can be directed to the development of
human umbilical cord cells and mouse embryonic cells, and into the simulation of biological environment in vivo were
cultured in the incubator.
The miniature artificial lung device to continuously grow in culture, and in about 1 week after the exchange of
oxygen, which is the same as the normal lung "breathing." Was implanted in mice, the artificial lung could continue to
work successfully the mice survived for 6 hours.
The researchers said that in order to use a similar method can be used to train the human lung is still a long way to
go, but within five to 10 years, the study made significant progress and will eventually be put into practical medical
applications, the need for lung lung transplant patients solve the problem of inadequate sources.
With amplification of the eye implant approved for listing
July 6, the U.S. FDA has announced the approval of an amplification of the eye implants, used to help visually
impaired people. This use of eye implants is to completely remove eye tissue in patients with the crystal, then there
is this implantation of intraocular lens amplification, it can be enlarged to the size of an object 2.2 to 2.7 times.
VisionCare Ophthalmic Technologies developed by the company of such implants is mainly used for people with macular
degeneration 75 years old, they are caused by retinal damage due to disease, lost the middle part of the vision.
This has enlarged the role of implanted crystals will make the object larger viewing area, reducing the visual blind
spot in the middle region. Patients after implantation, but also turn the eye of nature, but the peripheral vision
will be affected. It is because of this defect, which can only be implanted in one eye implants, but also need to
adjust the eyes to adapt to each other. As the size of the device, patients may need corneal transplants.
