Shanghai s high-end medical industry dream
Recently, the country\\ s first \"building – control – use the\" separation mode of the hospital, \"Shanghai International Medical Center\" in Pudong Shanghai International Medical Park groundbreaking. This for-profit integrated health care institutions in the city\\ s Pudong attract high-quality medical resources and the world, employing high-end medical management experience with a team of professionals responsible for the operation, management, and the formation of modern medical services industry gathering area.
When Shanghai will be targeting major medical centers in Asia, the development of high-end medical city will bring what?
Details to appreciate the \"high\"
The perception of high-end medical, often from such news: the production of a star in Singapore hospital, four days to spend more than 200,000 yuan. This triggered a series of laments and questions, as well as the infinite curiosity of the hospital.
Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Sixth People\\ s Hospital Medical Director Jia Weiping to high-end is defined \"high position, high quality, high value,\" are indispensable. Corresponds to a high positioning expatriates, the social elite and the celebrities of high demand; and contains a high-quality technology, personnel, services, and so superior standard. America\\ s most prestigious hospital rely on the Johns Hopkins Hospital Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the various branches in the United States are among the best, high quality basis. The high-value target is to create first-class health service, while at the same time, the hospital can get high returns.
In this \"three high\", the hospital is in the details on the effort to \"end\" should be interpreted even more exquisite. Asia\\ s largest private healthcare group in Singapore Parkway, for example, very intimate personalized service. Foreign patients who are hospitalized or even just have accompanied the plane to provide language translation services. Came to the ward, newspapers, magazines, television media, all from the patient\\ s home, but also with the country\\ s patients would normally be placed in the same floor. Here, almost feel the discomfort of living in a foreign country. Service concept can be seen far beyond their medical concept.
Of course, the high-end medical extension not stop there. Which medical tourism is becoming the fastest growing sunrise industry. Medical tourism refers to tourism, medical treatment and convalescence of a combination of tourism, increasingly popular in recent years. Major customers such as India Medical and Europe from neighboring countries, low-cost health care is its biggest attraction – the Indian equivalent of the U.S. per capita health expenditure per capita health spending is only 20%. Thailand and South Korea as Asia\\ s beauty is almost brand in cosmetic surgery before making a short-term foreign travel, is an excellent choice for many young beauty.
The considerable benefits of medical tourism, Parkway Health in Singapore treated 410,000 foreign patients per year, revenue reached $ 1.1 billion in 2015 to reach $ 2 billion. Parkway Medical Group (China and North Asia) president Chen Meilan hospital business, told reporters in recent years, Mongolia and Russia from patients every year. The northern half of the patients to the Earth over to Singapore for cardiovascular surgery, the risk can imagine how big. \"From the geographical location, said that Shanghai has a good health care market opportunities in Asia, where to build another medical center, patients and medical institutions is the common expectations.\"
From medical to financial
Many in Shanghai \"foreigner\", especially time-sensitive business elite, the quality of work and life demanding to see a doctor for medical treatment the same. Groups of high-end medical services to foreigners, China\\ s Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots and the social elite, but the scarcity of medical resources in Shanghai high-end and the actual demand is still asymmetric. Statistics show that long-term expatriates living in Shanghai, nearly 30 million, and the city more than 2700 types of medical institutions at all levels, can provide only high-end medical care are more than 30. Foreigners and domestic high-income people, the demand for quality health care services continues to boom, to Shanghai to create high-end medical market and left a great deal of space.
It is estimated that Shanghai capacity of up to 10.6 billion yuan health care market around, but now the Shanghai city related to the income level of medical institutions only 40 billion yuan, a huge space for development. \"Create demand, guide consumption\", Huashan Hospital, vice president Shao Jianhua view, the modern development of Shanghai medical services have become an important direction of modern service industry. The rapid development of high-end medical, multi-level medical services to meet the demand, improve the investment environment of Shanghai, urban functions, urban medical centers in Asia to create the only way.
Because huge amounts of high-end medical health insurance is almost the preferred method of payment. High-end medical insurance, is designed for high-end crowd, high insurance coverage, breaking the national health insurance restrictions, direct payment of medical treatment, covering a wide range of medical expenses like insurance. That is the national basic medical insurance, to private hospitals, hospitals, etc. for foreign medical institutions in their own medical treatment, you can still get a certain amount of health insurance. Currently, each insurance company has launched an innovative high-end medical insurance to meet the individual needs of high-end crowd.
It is predicted that the new situation in the health care reform, the high-end medical market matures, the demand for high-end medical insurance also increased. More and more companies will high-end medical insurance benefits as an important means of incentive, which gives the insurance company to carry out high-end medical insurance business opportunities. Of course, high-end medical products and insurance, market driven financial innovation and development also need to address the qualification of medical institutions, insurance coverage, hospital cost accounting transparency and other hospitals, insurance companies information \"docking\" project.
Modern medical services is an important part of leveraging the high-end medical hospital, medical technology, medical insurance and so the whole industry chain.
Be \"two legs\" to walk
Shanghai has already set the high-end medical care into the overall plan. Shanghai medical reform draft plan proposed to accelerate the development of modern medical services, in the Pudong New Area, Hongqiao Business District, the construction of the International Medical Park, the introduction of international quality medical resources, build a number of high-end medical services.
Modern medical services as a gathering place for Shanghai, Shanghai International Medical Zone is now vigorously promoting the high-end medical services platform, continuing to explore the modern health service model innovation. Today, the Shanghai International Medical Center has been the prototype can be seen high-end medical care. Medical Center, an investment of 800 million yuan, the construction of a general hospital. In the future, will rely on Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated medical resources to create a number of advantages of specialist centers. Medical Park building, will be more conducive to foreign investment, private capital into high-end medical market. International standards of medical institutions, bio-pharmaceutical companies gradually settled, to attract foreign medical staff, the introduction of the configuration of large medical equipment, special technology to carry out a broad platform. It is not only the formation of an international medical technology center, modern medical services is concentrated. Completed, it will greatly optimize the high-end medical institutions in the Pudong area of ??the layout, to meet the treatment needs of people at home and abroad. Meanwhile, to further improve the foreign investment environment and promote the development of modern medical services, and promote the transformation of the Pudong economic development.
Back to public hospitals in itself, whether in the development of high-end public hospital care, while continuing the steady development of basic health care, the fundamental solution \"difficult and expensive\" problem? Some experts pointed out that the development is the introduction of high-end needs of international capital or social capital to do incremental, rather than undermine the existing basic health care resources. So in exploring the movement of medical personnel mechanisms with more practice, you should maintain a high-quality medical resources to the grassroots movement, high-end part is to absorb international resources.
On the other hand, should see high-end medical services for the medical industry leading role. Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Ruijin Hospital Zheng-Gang Zhu said that public hospitals should first rely on the public interest, and high-quality and efficient health care service delivery model will form a model for basic health care. And its management, personnel, equipment, technology, etc. have a greater advantage, to improve health management, training of medical personnel and the output mode of service. For the tertiary level hospitals, the development of their own brand of high-end medical and hospital services will provide a greater level of growth.
Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Fudan University, Thunder Wu told reporters that the medical industry ultimately determined by the market, and with the market solution. He believes that the pilot of public hospitals and community support services have a need for capital, that is, the entity\\ s medical services, and hospital environment, hidden services, catering and other support services combined rehabilitation, improve quality of service as the core of the regulatory system, the formation of social capital, the organic and orderly integration.
Many of the hospital admitted, regardless of public hospitals or private hospitals, high-end medical services for the hospital itself based business deployment, operation mode, the medical management of resources have raised new challenges. High-end medical services as complementary basic medical services, how to continue to play a high-end medical benefits, and the formation of the organic basic health care \"subsidies\" and support, but also in modern Shanghai and the country continues to explore the development of medical services.

Transportation of things is still a concept into focus the direction of medical
"Things need to nurture and develop a fairly long process, not to master the core technology in the case, did not focus on the herd, everywhere, is likely to make things cooked rice ." Over and against the current competing industries, "pro-stick" phenomenon of things, China s director of research and development center of things leaves so sweet spring warning.
The Second China International Conference of things held yesterday in Wuxi, from the Ministry of Science and Technology Department, China Academy of Engineering and Research and Development Center of Things Chinese institutions such as the experts generally agreed that the global concept of things is still in the initial stage of transformation, in the focus of future things to promote the application of the project, the state should play a leading role in full.
Sweet leaf spring that the current application of the surface of things is very narrow, most applications is security, followed by electricity and transport sectors, again, is the logistics, medical and mobile payments, but the market potential of view, is two blocks after the future of things to expand their areas of application. Sweet leaf spring also believe that China s current building things solved the three core issues, namely the construction of the industrial chain, business model innovation and market development, and networking industry chain of China s two weaknesses are concentrated in the sensor chip, and intelligent information processing software research and development. Sweet leaf spring revealed that China s current research and development center of things the focus of applied research focused on health care, intelligent environmental protection, security and intelligence intelligent four areas of agriculture.
Strait (Wuxi) things Industry Development Center Director Wang L that, as intelligent transportation directly related to people s travel security and social stability, so there is a certain rigidity of demand, the current Government has been actively involved in transportation construction in the context of things in the Intelligent Transportation area have a good business model and operating environment to run.
As the world s largest device manufacturers responsible for the things one, Murata (China), executive vice president of Sun Kunquan that the sensor is the core of the networking industry chain devices. In the "perception – Transmission – processing – application of" this chain of things, and will appear in the final profit distribution, "two high, middle low" pattern, although the production cost of the sensor is difficult to achieve because of mass production and high cost, But he judge, two major areas of application of the sensor and the terminal will be a major profit source of future business. In the field of perception, 90% of the sensor chip to rely on imports, but the sweet leaf spring forecast, with the domestic manufacturer of innovative power of the mainstream investment, three years after the sensor chip is expected to reach the localization rate of 30%.
China sensor network standards working group, the National 973 Program chief scientist Liu Haitao of things make sense of social theory, social things that the working mechanism is based on a random target, using different strategies to complete the division of work on the perception of the physical world . Liu Haitao, said the development of perception of things as the theoretical basis of social theory, the formation of different scenarios as soon as possible common platform, the networking industry to break the current bottleneck in large-scale development.
In addition, this meeting also heard of things across the Straits of Things research institutions will reach strategic cooperation agreement macroeconomic news. It is reported that the two sides will focus on the future of things the industry standard and two major areas of end-use applications, and continuously upgrade cooperation level.

Medical device companies need to OEM?
OEM partners is a key factor in the success of iPhone. medical device companies can learn from this experience?
If there is no OEM partners, most of the market success of products may not exist. As the Foxconn and China Mobile and the relationship between Apple and Amazon, \"OEM\" the term often seen in a number of occasions, however, OEM and OEM partnerships established are not generally well understood.
OEM relationship is defined
OEM suppliers purchasing from some parts of a product (hardware, software or IP), sometimes it purchases from suppliers throughout the product. The existence of these suppliers can make OEM for the following series of actions:
? Quickly to design into production
? Expected demand or actual demand increase capacity
? To achieve cost targets to achieve profitability
OEM suppliers can provide much more production experience. For example, Intel and ARM processor architectures to provide OEM and design, making a lot of good products have been listed, these products are not just consumer products, also includes medical devices. OEM wide range of medical products, from the measurement of vital signs to a high degree of professional and other parts and so on. The following are just a few specific examples:
? Pulse oximeter: Masimo, Nellcor, Nonin
? Catheter: Catheter Research Inc, Oscor, Teleflex Medical
? Products: Celestica Healthtech, Flextronics, Jabil Circuit
There are so many OEM suppliers to choose from, such as Apple\\ s OEM Why choose suppliers such as Foxconn? In the medical device industry, Insulet Corp Flextronics was chosen as a partner is not also consider the same factors ? all successful partnerships and co-production of their products is not common, there are some basic guidelines? Finally, and most importantly, be able to find ideas for the medical device companies and products provide the best opportunity to help them in today\\ s changing health care market, the success of \\ right\\ partner, medical device companies need to consider those core elements?
Why establish OEM partnerships
In our in-depth these questions, let us consider why the company to form such a relationship. The most fundamental reason is that they have been trying to solve how to meet customer needs. In the development of a solution, they will consider the purchase, construction, or together with other companies to begin with excellent products to satisfy customers. Purchased from suppliers? Or with suppliers? When making decisions, a number of factors need to consider the following:
? To reduce development time and cost
? Will minimize production inputs
? Access to market and product experience
Typically, the company\\ s core competitiveness and talent issues can be outside of the OEM suppliers to better resolve. Based on academic research, \"help OEM manufacturers of the most common reason is the rising costs of product development, market internationalization and product life cycles.\" OEM supplier to cooperate decisions and the reasons are usually taken by the company and its strategy varies.
Steve? Jobs wanted: \"Prior to treatment as computers, music players and cell phones towards the TV, let them: simple and elegant.\" And Peter Pachall pointed out that the middle of the nuances.
Exist in the TV market supplier problems. In the past 10 years, large-size LCD display manufacturers eventually merged into a few major suppliers. To establish and maintain an LCD plant, needs billions of dollars, even though Apple has so much money burn, but it only took ten years from the manufacture of these specific business freed up. This will compete with Apple into a trading partner location.
Of course, other companies (like Vizio) also have to conduct these transactions, so Apple can certainly develop good products, but Apple will not like on the tube, like Foxconn, similar to the LG\\ s iron grip. Tim Cook is Apple in the past 12 years, the water does not reveal the development of the supply chain benefits will not reproduce in the TV market.
As Pachall pointed out, to decide whether or purchased and OEM suppliers, which may be inextricably linked with the company\\ s strategy. In this case, it is not a company has a very significant decision. Leaving aside the impact aside, it all depends on the type of procurement company, its strength and its objectives into account.
OEM medical device industry partnerships: Industry Perspective
All of the above point of view, which applies to the medical device industry? Their OEM suppliers for the assessment of what is the meaning? When choosing partners, how to consider these factors? From similar suppliers such as SunTech Medical\\ s point of view:
? Also provide OEM service and has its own brand of products
? Attention to (a) OEM customers also concerned about the integration of multi-(b) provide the key for the clinical market
? Provide can be simply defined as the difference between critical systems and products.
OEM supplier to various industries have many common characteristics. In fact, many of these studies are usually observed views and experience are matched. In actual use, they are directly interpreted as a partner for most of the basic criteria.
Medical device and innovation as the development of anesthesia has brought new challenges
\"2009 – 2010 annual progress report on narcotic disciplines\" (Blue Book) pointed out that the development of academic anesthesia procedure for the effective protection of patient safety, improve clinical quality of care is of great significance. Meanwhile, the subject is actively promoting contemporary anesthesia perioperative medicine to promote the establishment and development. The Blue Book of China invited a number of well-known expert in anesthesia have been commenting on the construction, this paper summarizes the anesthesia-related equipment, video equipment, part of the progress and problems.
Robotic surgery has brought new challenges to all
Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine Department of Anesthesiology, Ruijin Hospital, said deputy director Zhang Fujun, surgical and interventional treatment of cardiovascular disease as the conventional treatment, is associated with medical devices and technology innovation, from the traditional heart surgery under direct vision to the beating, minimally invasive, closed cardiopulmonary bypass and other even higher goal of the development, which gives the anesthesiologist an enormous challenge.
Full robotic heart surgery in recent years, significant progress in the field of cardiac surgery, its subversion of the traditional variety of cardiac surgery under direct vision. The closed cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in the aid of technology, so that patients can not split the sternum, ribs keep the case to accept a variety of traditional heart surgery, trauma, quick recovery, and thus become the main trend of development of cardiac surgery. Which, in 2000 by the U.S. FDA-approved \"Da Vinci\" is currently used clinically most advanced robotic surgical system, the main console by a doctor, bedside arm and video system consists of three parts. 4 arm has seven degrees of freedom, can be done manually difficult to complete the action, and can filter the surgeon hand tremor; video system using three-dimensional imaging technique, the object can be enlarged 10 times, to clearly and accurately reveal the operative field. During the surgery, patients in the main control console via a three-dimensional imaging system for surgical robotic arm operations, therefore no need to wash their hands came to power to complete surgery.
However, all robotic heart surgery that the anesthesiologist is not only facing the past, the traditional heart of the flexible use of anesthesia technology issues, but also a small incision coronary artery bypass, valve replacement of anesthesia and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography technology and other new challenges. As the robot in the whole process of heart surgery, patients were lack of organizational tension force, robot arm operator resistance and other feedback sensation, intraoperative prone to tissue damage, therefore, anesthesiologists need to pay close attention to changes in surgical procedures and monitoring indicators, to avoid serious adverse the incident.
iMRI intraoperative interference to be overcome
Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Professor Wang Baoguo, etc., in recent years, intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) are increasingly being used in brain surgery, which can provide good removal of intracranial tumor imaging guidance information. It is reported that application of iMRI can not completely removed by surgery resulting in the re-craniotomy from 30% to 0.
However, brain surgery, anesthetic management for the anesthesiologist is a new challenge. Because intraoperative MRI environment needs to be applied can be used in anesthesia machines, monitors and micro-pumps, but also pay attention to MRI equipment and the mutual interference between the monitor. Moreover, children or other compensation for patients who were less should be noted that due to the operating room layout needs, patients frequently may need to use a longer infusion than other surgical tubing, breathing loop and gas sampling tube.
Intraoperative magnetic resonance instruments and mutual interference between the monitor can not be ignored is a problem. Studies have shown that dedicated monitor disruption of magnetic resonance are in the acceptable range, while the resonance arising from the interference signal but it will significantly affect the operation of the ECG. Although dedicated monitor comes with a filter unit can reduce this interference, but this time the ECG patterns have changed, which makes the diagnostic value of ECG decreased. Therefore, iMRI surgery to minimize the disruption of the ECG is still a problem to be solved.
Functional brain imaging techniques play an important role
Department of Anesthesiology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University\\ s Dr. Chen Xiangdong, said the speculation sedative and hypnotic effects of other anesthetic site of action, functional imaging techniques, including positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) , Functional magnetic resonance imaging (FNMR) and other brain imaging techniques to be greater development and application.
These functional brain imaging techniques in the non-invasive conditions such as the use of radioactive isotopes by measuring brain blood flow, glucose metabolism or oxygen concentration, indirectly, to explore a variety of anesthesia-related areas. In addition, although these techniques are not used to directly measure neural activity, and the results are narcotic drugs on vascular resistance and other factors affecting the intervention, but to explore the role of anesthesia in the study area has a very important value. These technologies in narcotic drugs and cerebral blood flow dose-response relationship between research, but also the need for further research. As these technologies spatial resolution and temporal resolution to improve their research in anesthesia principles will play a greater role.
More comprehensive pediatric anesthesia equipment
Although the risk is high, but there are still millions of children worldwide each year in surgical and imaging studies in general anesthesia. According to Shanghai Jiaotong University Affiliated Xinhua Hospital, Professor Wang Yingwei introduced, with excellent optics equipped with auxiliary devices come out endotracheal intubation, intubation, a large number of visualization techniques and devices become more perfect, thus contributing to the difficulties of these techniques in children airway (defined as the glottis can not be fully manifested, or the glottis can be exposed, but the supraglottic / glottic / subglottic structural abnormalities, making it difficult tracheal intubation placement) in patients with applied research.
Airway guide bar (Eschmann stylet): a difficult airway intubation can be used for gum elastic bougie, the glottis can not show, or for only part of the epiglottis in children revealed difficult airway intubation.
Seldinger-assisted endoscopic intubation TV (SAVI): In operation, first select just through endotracheal intubation can be rigid endoscopes, endoscope tip beyond the catheter to the lens, to ensure good visibility of. The corresponding light on the connection and television equipment, you are ready to start related operations. Children in the mask or self-ventilation, proper placement and body position after induction of anesthesia, laryngoscopy was gently placed out of the epiglottis, pharynx soon after endoscopic home entrance, with a catheter under the guidance of the television camera can be further operation, given the glottis local lidocaine. As long as the glottis revealed clear, under the guidance of the television to complete the follow-up catheter insertion.
Bonfils fiberscope: was originally a 5.5 mm fiber die, for difficult airway can be achieved in patients with adult teeth into the road after endotracheal intubation. It is designed diameter ≥ 6.5 No. of endotracheal tube can be placed directly on the vocal cords and only rarely before the operation of the epiglottis, the remote is shaping the curve of 40 degrees. The newly developed products for pediatric patients can be applied is the minimum number 2.5 endotracheal tube. It also has a removable eyepiece and to fix the endotracheal tube and oxygen of the vertebral slip, especially for cervical degenerative changes and small population of patients.
Storz DCI Video Laryngoscope: Miller laryngoscope blade in the internal fiber-optic lens and light source, and another camera with the laryngoscope blade through the handle portion connected to the corresponding acquisition front-end image displayed on the TV. The Miller laryngoscope blade laryngoscope with the traditional front-end point and length vary. Studies have shown that exposure to the device\\ s vision than conventional laryngoscope.
Glidescope video laryngoscope: a new video intubation system, the lens front fog installed a high-definition camera, which consists of two LEDs provide light and contrast, to pass through the fiber optic cable and zoom the image to the LCD display.
Accelerate the penetration of foreign Yixie domestic primary market makers
"How many billion? To invest in the grassroots level it?" November 26, GE Healthcare in Wuxi B30-type monitor on a new release of the news conference, GE Healthcare Clinical Systems vice president and Greater China general manager Zheng Ping was know that the central government has arranged a special fund for the improvement of primary health care sector software and hardware conditions, to present a reporter asked. Primary market for GE Healthcare s importance is evident.
GE released the same day B30-type monitor is below the county for the primary market, the GE China R & D team developed an economical monitor. The first half of this year, GE another primary market for the design and development of new Brivo 315/325 CT has also been put on the market. Penetration of foreign markets for grass-roots are stepping up the pace.
Good policy
So excited about the news Zheng Ping, November 18, the Ministry of Finance said the central government has arranged 8.8 billion yuan comprehensive primary health care institutions to enhance service capacity. Which arrangements 54 million to support the difficult areas in eastern and western regions as well as county-level hospitals to improve equipment conditions, the backbone of physician training, to improve primary care level; arranged 2.1 billion yuan to support village health information management, integrated management and other primary care clinics and health institutions information platform; arrangements 11 billion to support mental health system institutions to improve equipment conditions.
In addition, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Health jointly launched a sound system of rural health services plan, arranged in three years will invest 36 billion yuan to support the national focus on the construction of 2176 county-level hospitals so each county has at least one county level hospitals to standardize the basic level, has arranged 31.4 billion yuan of special funds to support the construction of 1877 county-level hospitals, in addition to financial support arrangements for township hospitals and village clinics in the construction and renovation and expansion work.
According to the China Medical Device Industry Association data show that in this sub-field monitors, medical monitors in China in 2009 only 20% penetration rate, the U.S. has reached 80%. According to the current industry high ratio of 4:6 with the economy, China s economic growth in the space of medical monitors will be very great. From the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Cui Wei, director of the ICU that monitors from the past, mainly for the care of critically ill patients, to the current for the general ward care, and into the primary health care units, its market expansion effect is obvious.
Targeted R & D
According to Zheng Ping introduced, which monitors the use of measurement technology, including GE s patented D-fend Water CO2 gas separation technology, dual-line non-invasive blood pressure measurement technology, low perfusion campaign against interference SPO2 measurement technology, while the market for grass-roots characteristics, but also on the plug-in design, user interface and menu design has been simplified and flexible.
It is reported that, GE s sales this year will be 800 million to 10 million, and its goal is to turn three times in five years, which is clearly the primary market will contribute to a very important piece. According to GE Medical Systems (China) Co., Ltd. Wu Tao, in B30, for example, GE s goal is the county People s Hospital of hospitals, hospitals and some MCH, China now has more than 2,000 counties in the target range within. And which products have been listed for one year, except for China, has listed a total of 7-8 countries on quarterly sales of more than 800, the market feedback is very good.
However, the primary market requires not only equipment, but also technical personnel, services, and primary market of more than tests of products and companies.
In this regard, Wu Tao said, GE has a special market for the primary mode of service, such as B30 monitors will be given to the user backup machine, pathogenesis Depot Repair, factory technical force and quality of service than the service sector over the good, which It is precisely because the product R & D and manufacturing in China can be achieved.
In addition, the reporter also learned that, GE will invest $ 500 million over three years to strengthen R & D activities in China and the establishment of six innovation centers, in areas including health care, renewable energy, the first phase of the candidate cities, including Chengdu, Shenyang and Xi an, these innovative centers service the southwest, northwest, northeast and central markets, and GE in Shanghai, Beijing and Wuxi R & D institutions create synergy. Will also invest more than $ 1.5 billion and domestic industry leaders to create a new joint venture, target areas, including aviation, energy, transportation, health care and financial services.
Oral mechanical problems with medical equipment more than prevent the disease from the mouth to be
Dental specialist, more and more recent survey found that dental medical devices used in the purchase, inspection, maintenance, use, etc. There are many aspects of the problem, especially in primary oral specialist, the problem is even more prominent. To ensure public safety with firearms, I think we should increase the use of medical devices for dental supervision.
Dental medical devices currently used mainly in the following issues:
First, expired, invalid, out of, without proof of medical devices qualified products still in use. Examination revealed that some oral specialist medical institutions, particularly in townships dental and dental clinics, the use of the 1990s the production of medical devices is still a lot, mostly for root canal filling material, desensitizing gel, making tooth powder, cloves cement agents, and other special materials like cement; some individuals to use the dental chair dental clinics, mobile dental, dental turn, is the second-hand medical equipment, used without inspection or verification, it is difficult to ensure compliance with requirements.
Second, the use of unregistered medical devices. The most prominent is the denture, and some custom-made porcelain teeth, dental clinics and other medical devices, to review, ask the supplier qualification certificates and related legal bills are not timely or incomplete; some for the convenience or cost from undocumented production point of custom porcelain teeth.
Third, no medical equipment imports Chinese identity. Part of the dental specialist medical institutions on the use of imported equipment without Chinese identity, no registration card number, combined with the purchase of long years, the data is not perfect, it is difficult to prove the authenticity of the product, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of treatment.
Fourth, the Medical Device, regardless. As the use of dental products in both drugs have medical equipment, such specificity to regulatory acceptance and purchase of the difficulties. The survey found that most oral specialist (including one or more medical institutions) purchase of drugs and medical devices for the self-purchase, post-purchase inspection is not required, can not do regular maintenance.
Inspection also found that part of the oral law specialist can not be strictly in accordance with the purchase and use of medical devices; purchase irregular channels, purchase of medical equipment manufacturers and distributors do not obtain legal qualification, site does not provide medical devices in use product registration card and legal bills, no purchase and inspection records, batch records do not list with the goods, products without traceability, the majority did not create the device files; is not based on instruments used adverse events management system and monitoring system.
In response to these issues, to strengthen the use of medical devices for the dental management of medical institutions with the mechanical behavior norms, the proposed regulation from the following areas to strengthen.
First, strengthen training and improve the quality of employees. From the current regulatory situation, dental practitioners on the Medical Device regulatory relevant laws and regulations are poorly understood, relatively weak legal consciousness. In this regard, regulatory authorities at all levels should take the initiative and health administrative departments of the medical device regulations dental practitioners knowledge and training to enhance their legal awareness and professionalism.
Second, standardized purchasing practices to ensure the quality of medical devices. Dentistry in the Medical Device purchased when required, the operator\\ s qualifications should be strictly examined promptly obtain legitimate qualified suppliers and related notes and seriously acceptance, safekeeping.
Third, the establishment of management system. Requirements of dental, dental clinic development of relevant management systems and strict enforcement, such as the establishment of a sound purchase ledger and purchase medical equipment inspection records; required to keep a good purchase Medical Device notes, relevant qualifications materials; do drugs and medical devices segregated; regular Medical Device conservation, avoid the use of expired Equipments.
Fourth, increased monitoring frequency and coverage, increased supervision. In strengthening daily supervision, severely crack down on the use of expired, invalid, out, no product registration card, no medical certificate, and Medical Device purchased from illegal sources such cases, to effectively combat illegal, the use of Medical Device behavior.
Epidural can be used for endoscopic treatment of intractable low back pain
Recently, Shandong Provincial Hospital Pain in the internationally renowned professor of medicine, the Dutch expert Robert Van Senventer minimally invasive surgery under the guidance of Professor Song Wenge and professors work together successfully as a FU Zhi-jian intractable low back pain patients completed the C-arm X-ray guidance epidural endoscopic surgery. Postoperative left lower extremity pain, numbness, cold flu symptoms, postoperative rehabilitation, the symptoms without recurrence. This innovative surgical procedures was a complete success.
Patient was a 33-year-old young woman, three years ago left hip, hip pain, accompanied by left lower extremity numbness, cold, sedentary, and fatigue symptoms increase, a slight relief after bed rest. To relieve pain, the patient went to many hospitals for treatment, the effect is not obvious, and later came to the clinic, admissions experts \"lumbar disc herniation,\" admitted to hospital. The experts studied and discussed in detail the patient\\ s condition, agreed to take epidural endoscopic surgery can get the best results. In view of this country has yet to carry out surgery, laparoscopic surgery has invited in the epidural area of Dutch experts accomplished deep Professor Robert Van Senventer guide to the hospital.
During surgery, the doctor first with 1% lidocaine in patients with sacral hiatus center for a Picchu, Picchu by piercing the skin, and gradually infiltrates into the sacrococcygeal ligament, then a switch 18G Tuohy epidural needle, through the sacral piercing the sacral hiatus to the head in the direction forward. From a lateral perspective using X-ray to confirm the needle in the sacral angle and position is correct. Then injected through the epidural needle two milliliters of non-ionic contrast agent, and then X-ray shows including nerve roots, including fat and epidural adhesions with anatomical images, lumbar 2 / 3 level of the left side of the filling defect, indicating that patients with epidural adhesions. X-ray monitoring under the guidance of epidural needle by gently twisting the head, until the guide wire into the lesion site, out of Tuohy needle. Puncture the skin with a scalpel to the sacrococcygeal ligament expand, move forward along the guide wire and guide sheath dilator, into the sacral canal, the withdrawal of the guide wire and dilator, only the guide sheath remains in the sacral canal, with 10 ml saline flush guide sheath side arm, and then with a fiber optical endoscope guiding tube device through the guide into the sacral
Tube, oriented along the optical fiber endoscope tube will slowly into the epidural space, and then to the lesion, into the brush by the side of the tube-shaped guide wire under direct vision in the endoscopic removal of adhesive materials, and in the target area injection of corticosteroids and neurotrophic drugs.
Completion of the operation shared two hours after the patient left hip, hip pain and numbness of the left lower limb cold quickly disappear, after getting out of bed without any symptoms, surgery in patients with only a little anesthetic, postoperative position not limited, to normal activity, 4 days after surgery patients were discharged.
According to the renowned pain expert Professor Song Wenge introduction, laparoscopic epidural is a three-dimensional, dynamic, visual color imaging system, can look directly at the spinal structure. As a special diagnostic tool, which can include special clinical treatment, including surgery, provide the basis for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic low back pain of the disease can play a unique role. Experienced doctors can aid in identifying the epidural endoscopic some potential causes of pain such as epidural adhesions, nerve root edema, epidural compression, anatomic variations, nerve root cystic degeneration, vascular and abnormal. Endoscopic diagnosis of either look into the epidural lesions, but also directly to the lesion and injection line adhesiolysis treatment. According to foreign prospective clinical trial data show that endoscopic epidural lysis of adhesions down, while injection of hyaluronidase in the target area, such as corticosteroids and ozone, which can effectively relieve post-operative epidural adhesions caused by chronic low back pain, is effective and lasting. Meanwhile, CT, MRI examination can not clear the cause of the complexity of low back pain cases, the application of epidural endoscopic treatment has its unique advantages.
Guangzhou quickly developed early diagnosis of dengue kit
Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University, led by Professor Xiaoyan car research group has successfully developed a "rapid early dengue diagnostic kit", within two hours in the rapid detection of dengue virus.
According to the Guangzhou Center for Disease Control, said the expert evaluation, the study of dengue fever control and play a crucial role in early detection, has great clinical value, for this year s Guangzhou City, the popular since the early diagnosis of dengue fever to good effect. The study results have been in the United States published in the journal of clinical microbiology.
Although the characteristics of dengue fever with intermittent resting, quiet period, but still difficult to make a clear trend of dengue prediction, once the outbreak, fast and violent and rapid spread, the incidence rate. Currently, dengue fever prevention and treatment of human faces many challenges remain, such as dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever pathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated and so on.
It is the basis of the Pearl River Hospital, Clinical Director of the Institute, Professor Xiaoyan researcher cars, divided into four dengue virus serotypes can cause latent infection, or there are not typical of dengue fever occur and cause high mortality disease. Of dengue virus-specific sub-type diagnosis and identify other methods of flavivirus infection, the prognosis of the disease, dengue epidemiological surveillance and disease control are important.
Guangdong Provincial Health Department issued the evening of August 28, the latest reported that as of August 28, dengue fever cases in Guangdong province reported a total of 78 cases.
