In 2005, to assess the NCMS effects on village doctors’ prescribing behaviour, we compared an NCMS county and a non-NCMS county in Shandong Province. We collected information Keywords: from a representative total of 2271 patient visits in 30 village health stations (15 per county). China The average number of drugs prescribed (4.6 in the NCMS county vs. 3.1 in the non-NCMS county) and Village doctor use of antibiotics (72.4% vs. 59.3%) and injections (65.1% vs. 56.3%) were high in both counties, and higher New Cooperative Medical Scheme in the NCMS county. Within NCMS villages, prescribing for insured vs. uninsured patients showed Prescribing behaviour Antibiotics a similar pattern with more drugs, antibiotics and injections for those insured. Overall, for NCMS Health insurance patients, the prescription excess was about equal in value to their 20% fee discount. Rural We conclude that over-prescribing is common in villages and worse with NCMS health insurance, raising concerns for health service quality and drug-use safety. We propose that the NCMS should be redesigned with incentives for service quality improvement. A stricter regulatory environment for doctors’ prescriptions is needed in rural China to counter irrational drug use. Ó 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • Analysis of Spatial-Temporal Distribution of Notifiable Respiratory
    Li et al. BMC Public Health (2021) 21:1597 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-021-11627-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Analysis of spatial-temporal distribution of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases in Shandong Province, China during 2005– 2014 Xiaomei Li1†, Dongzhen Chen1,2†, Yan Zhang3†, Xiaojia Xue4, Shengyang Zhang5, Meng Chen6, Xuena Liu1* and Guoyong Ding1* Abstract Background: Little comprehensive information on overall epidemic trend of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases is available in Shandong Province, China. This study aimed to determine the spatiotemporal distribution and epidemic characteristics of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases. Methods: Time series was firstly performed to describe the temporal distribution feature of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases during 2005–2014 in Shandong Province. GIS Natural Breaks (Jenks) was applied to divide the average annual incidence of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases into five grades. Spatial empirical Bayesian smoothed risk maps and excess risk maps were further used to investigate spatial patterns of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases. Global and local Moran’s I statistics were used to measure the spatial autocorrelation. Spatial- temporal scanning was used to detect spatiotemporal clusters and identify high-risk locations. Results: A total of 537,506 cases of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases were reported in Shandong Province during 2005–2014. The morbidity of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases had obvious seasonality with high morbidity in winter and spring. Local Moran’s I analysis showed that there were 5, 23, 24, 4, 20, 8, 14, 10 and 7 high-risk counties determined for influenza A (H1N1), measles, tuberculosis, meningococcal meningitis, pertussis, scarlet fever, influenza, mumps and rubella, respectively.

    Fang Wei Emerging Development and Cooperation in Land Use Planning along the Yellow River under New Regionalism 47th ISOCARP Congress 2011 Emerging Development and Cooperation in Land Use Planning along the Yellow River under New Regionalism: A Case Study by Jinan City, Shandong Province, China 1 INTRODUCTION Bearing some resemblance to North America in the early 1990s, China is currently issuing various regional developments and spatial planning strategies, aiming to coordinate development of various cities in regional context. In the final period of 11th Five Year Plan, almost 30 planning documents have been released in 2009 and 2010, which involved not only the traditional urban regions such as Lower Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, but also some less developed provinces in Middle and Western China (Jin, 2011). Among these initiatives, plans can be categorized into two kinds: one is of policy zone(Zhengce Qu) and the other is of comprehensive reform experimental zone (Zonghe Gaige Shiyan Qu) (Figure 1). Meanwhile, a serious of territorial plans has also been drafted such as national urban system planning, national main function plan, etc. The dynamic initiatives mentioned above demonstrated the great ambition from different departments of central state to inspire and ordinate newly developing local-level region. This trend has been accelerated by establishment of intra- and inter-regional mass transit infrastructure. High Speed Railway (HSR) between Beijing and Shanghai is the most significant case. It is expected such transit infrastructure will serve for compressing time-space among the cities and will in favor of tourism, tertiary industry and communication for future development.

Buffer pH and concentration, applied voltage, β-cyclodextrin and ethanol concentration were optimized and the optimum conditions are: 20 mmol/L borax (pH 9.5) with 8 mmol/L β-cyclodextrin and 5% (v/v) ethanol and at a voltage of 25 kV. The contents of five flavonoids in Fructus Sophorae grown in different area of Dezhou, Shandong Province of China were determined by the developed method and with satisfactory results. The distributions of the studied flavonoids were also investigated.
