Objective To analyze the incidence of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) in patients with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage(t-SAH), time windows of CVS as well as the risk factors. Method A total of 98 patients,with t -SAH admitted from June 2007 to December 2008, were enrolled for this prospective study. The hemodynamics of middle cerebral artery (MCA) in these patients was monitored with trancranial Doppler (TCD) daily for 7 days after admission and on the 14th day of hospital stay. The incidence of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) in patients with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (t-SAH) ,time windows of CVS as well as the risk factors were analyzed. Results Of them, 41 patients (41.8%) had CVS. The flow velocity of MCA in patients with GCS≤ 8 was significantly higher than that in patients with GCS≥9. Classified by t-SAH cumulative blood Hijdra method, 2(4.44%) of 45 patients(45.9%)with scores 6 or less,9 (29.0%)of 31 patients (37.8%) with scores 6~ 13,and 8 (36.4%) of 22 patients (20.0%)with scores 13 or more had CVS. Severe CVS occurred in 13 (35. 1% )of 37 surgical patients (37.8%), and local cerebral infarction occurred in four surgical patients after symptomatic treatment. The flow velocity of the MCA was significantly higher in surgical patients than that in non-surgical patients 3 days after admission. Conclusions The severity of original trauma, bleeding, location of t-SAH and operation are the major risk factors to lead to CVS in patients with t-SAH. Attention should he paid to those risk factors during the treatment of patients with t-SAH.

OBJECTIVETo explore the risk factors and their differences of metabolic syndrome (MS) on male criminal police, thereby provide the scientific basis to make prevention and control strategies about the metabolic syndrome for the criminal police career.
METHODSBased on physical examination data of criminal police in 2010, 439 patients with MS (CDS) were randomly selected as cases. And as the 1:2 matched nested case-control study, 878 health controls were employed, which were matched with on the basis of sex and age (±1 year). An face-to-face epidemiological investigations on the past exposure status of several possible risk factors was conducted, such as the family history of hypertension and other social economic status, as well as body height and weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, serum lipid and plasma sugar. and the data were analyzed with logistic regression.
RESULTS1317 cases were surveyed, through single factor logistic regression analysis found that 12 factors are related to exposure. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that six factors, such as stress events (OR = 1.989, 95%CI: 1.467∼2.696), snoring (OR = 1.672, 95%CI: 1.218∼2.294), sweets (OR = 0.562, 95%CI: 0.412∼0.766), meat and products (OR = 1.494, 95%CI: 1.065∼2.094), siting after dinner for more than 3 h (OR = 1.399, 95%CI: 1.023∼1.915).
CONCLUSIONSMS has become a important public health problems among criminal police. For their professional special, a series of bad habits , unhealthy life style and psychological problems became important risk factors of MS on criminal police. Targeted prevention and control measures should be taken to reduce the incidence of MS.

3. Analysis of manganese exposure level in different welding jobs and its effect on welding workers' health
China Occupational Medicine 2016;43(01):78-81
OBJECTIVE: To examine the difference of manganese exposure level in different types of welding jobs and its effects on electric welding workers' health. METHODS: Eight-seven electric welding workers recruited in 2009 were selected by cluster sampling method as exposure group. The exposure group was divided into low,middle and high sub-exposure groups based on the different manganese exposure levels in workplace air. Thirty administrative and technical personnel were selected as control group. Manganese exposure levels of exposure group in workplace air were continuously measured from 2009 to 2013 for 5 years. The urine manganese levels of control and exposure groups were detected. Occupational health examination was conducted in these two groups in 2013. RESULTS: The trend of manganese exposure level in workplace air of exposure group from low to high was submerged arc welding post < gas tungsten arc welding post < hand welding post( P < 0. 01). The urine manganese levels in exposure group in 2010-2013 were higher than those of control group in the same corresponding year( P < 0. 01). With the increase of manganese exposure time,urine manganese levels increased in exposure group and the 3 sub-exposure groups( P < 0. 01); in 2012 and 2013,the urine manganese levels of exposure group showed an increasing trend with the increase of manganese exposure level( P < 0. 01). The positive rates of dizziness,body ache and memory lost in exposure group had an increasing trend with the increase of manganese exposure level( P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The difference of manganese exposure level in different types of welding jobs affects the urine manganese levels and health status of electric welding workers.
