The Statute of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in China
Full text linkThis commentary discusses the significance and improvement of the drafted regulation on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) proposed by the Chinese government. The draft regulation is significant in emphasizing the need of evidence-based scientific and evaluation research of TCM; guiding the design of deliverable and high-quality TCM healthcare service to urban as well as rural communities in China; and confirming the scientific value of TCM. However, a few sections in the draft need to be readdressed and spelled out. Pharmaceutical formulae and medicine production shall require license and certification; experienced TCM professionals should be invited to teach and evaluated by students to substitute the “master-to-apprentice” training; specific plans that lead to qualitative change of TCM and legal liability related to TCM practice need to be elaborated; and the consequence of violation of the regulation shall be specified

An Agent-based Model to Evaluate Positive Externality of Smoking Cessations 采用个体为本模型评估戒烟服务的正外部性
Full text linkIntroduction: Cigarette smoking can be viewed as a contagious disease whereby an active smoker will turn nonsmokers into passive smokers. Agent-based models (ABM) have been shown to have the advantage of exploring heterogeneity and inter-agent interaction, as compared with more aggregate models. In this study, we use an ABM framework and simulate a hypothetical tobacco control program in a multiunit dwelling, to examine the program’s “return on investment” in terms of passive smoking reduction. Method: We assume that in a multiunit building of 121 people there are 30 active smokers, with their neighbors as passive smokers. We simulate different spatial distributions of these 30 active smokers. Results: Helping the last active smoker quit smoking gave us a net reduction of four passive smoking cases, revealing a pattern of marginal increase in return to smoking cessation efforts. For population segments where active smokers are more likely to be clustered together (in households, work sites, residential units, etc.) this pattern of “increasing returns to health investments” will be even stronger. Discussion: This hypothetical intervention experiment provides an insight for the potential impact of reducing active smoking prevalence on reducing passive smoking prevalence. A model-based discussion can help public health stakeholders strategize their approaches to design tobacco control programs
An Overview of Diabetes Management in China: The Application of Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions Framework 中国糖尿病管理概述：慢性病创新照护模式的应用
Full text linkChina has the largest number of people with diabetes in the world. In the past, no overall assessment of diabetes management efforts has been done in China. Today diabetes has become a significant public health problem in China. It is imperative to gain a comprehensive view of diabetes management efforts within China’s specific socio-political infrastructure. In this study, the Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions framework (ICCC) comprised of Macro (policy environment), Meso (health care organization and community), and Micro (patient interaction) levels developed by World Health Organization was used as an analytic framework to demonstrate status and gaps in existing diabetes management in China. An integrative multi-level literature review was conducted using the ICCC framework. Multiple resources, including English and Chinese-language references databases and information from China governmental health websites, were used. Today, responsibilities for diabetes management in China are mainly delegated to health care providers. This effort could be enhanced and complemented by increased support from the government, more resources for diabetes management in the community; structures from health organizations, and stronger partnerships between health care organizations and the community. The roles of patients and their families in diabetes management should also be elevated. Researchers, health practitioners, policy makers and other stakeholders are able to use the findings to delineate optimal strategies for diabetes prevention and management. In the future, the ICCC framework can serve as the conceptual basis for chronic conditions situation analysis and health care system design in China
