Cost-effectiveness analysis is used to compare the performance of all the centers. The following is taken to create the index. Wi = Ti x Mi x Eij (Wi: weight for service item I, Ti : time spent for service I, Mi ; number of health personnel involved in service I, Eij : years of schooling for personnel j in providing service I). As a result of these analyses, policy options as follows are recommended; (i) proper manpower, especially public health physician (oriental medical doctor), should be enough to provide health care adequately; (ii) facilities ad equipments in the health center should be provided sufficiently.

  • The alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay was used to clarify in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity of 2-bromopropane (2-BP). For in vitro studies, fresh medium containing 2-BP (2.50, 1.00, 0.50, 0.25, 0.10, 0.05, 0.01 mM, and vehicle control) were added in human lymphocytes.(omitted)
