Objective To explore current status of health-related productivity loss and its risk factors among nurses.Methods Stanford presenteeism scale (SPS-6) and self-designed questionnaire were used to investigate current status of health-related productivity loss and its risk factors among 1122 nurses working in a tertiary hospital in Changchun city.Results Compared with hired nurses,age and work seniority of permanent nurses were significantly higher(Z =-19.49,-19.28 ;P <0.05).The average score of SPS-6 of all the participants was 20.05 ± 4.37.The score of SPS-6 of married nurses was significantly lower than other nurses (Z =-3.52,P < 0.05) ; and the score of SPS-6 of nurses less than 30 years old was significantly higher than those above 30 years old (Z =-2.49,P < 0.05).There were no significant differences between the SPS-6 score of education degree and department.(Z =-1.37,x2 =0.58 ; P >0.05).The result of GLM showed that employment status and work seniority were independent risk factors of health-related productivity loss among nurses.The scores of SPS-6 of permanent nurses was significantly lower than hired nursed (x2 =4.48,P < 0.05),and those who had worked for less than 3 years showed significantly higher score of SPS-6 than those who had worked longer (x2 =12.89,P < 0.05).Conclusions Health-related productivity loss do exist among nurses.Improving health management may help to reduce this loss of productivity.

Objective To express and purify recombinant and biologically active Clostridium difficile toxin B (rTcdB). Methods The genes of TcdB were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using chromosomal DNA from a toxigenic strain, and cloned into a shuttle vector pHis1522.The sequences of TcdB genes in the vector were verified by DNA sequencing. The construction was transformed into Bacillus megaterium protoplasts and the protein expression was driven by a xylose promoter. The purified protein was tested for biological activity. Results rTcdB was successfully purified from bacterial crude extracts. Approximately 5-10 mg of highly purified recombinant toxin was obtained from one liter of bacterial culture. The expressed rTcdB had molecular mass similar to the native toxin, and its biological activity was proved to be similar to its native counterpart after an extensive examination. Conclusion rTcdB with biological activities is successfully expressed in Bacillus megaterium.

We prepared gold nanostar (GNS) through seed growth method firstly,then formation of COX-2 siRNA(siCOX-2) and GNS composite modified with polyethylene glyco (PEG),2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucos (DG) and 9-D-arginin (9R) was prepared.Mterwords,paclitaxel temperature sensitive liposome (PTX-TSL) was prepared by film dispersion method.Finally,siCOX-2 delivery systerm (PTX-TSL-(siCOX-2(9R/DG-GNS)))was obtained by hydrosulfuryl ligand reaction between siCOX-2 (9R/DG-GNS) and PTX-TSL The successful build of siCOX-2 (9R/DG-GNS) was vetified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR),sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacryl amide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE),and ultraviolet spectrophotometry and agarose gel electrophoresis method.Particle size of PTX-TSL-(siCOX-2(9R/DG-GNS)) was (292 ± 14) nm and Zeta potential was about -(2.59 ± 0.12) mV,which were measured by Zetasizer Nano ZS90.The morphology of PTX-TSL-(siCOX-2 (9R/DG-GNS)) measured by transmissionelectronmicroscopy showed homogeneous star structure with phospholipid bilayer on the surface,and it showed good thermal conversion efficiency under radiation of 808 nm laser.Differential scanning calorimetry test showed that PTX-TSL phase transition temperature is about 42.6 ℃.The drug loading content(using dialysis method) and encapsulation efficiency of PTX-TSL were about 7.5% and 95.4%,at the same time,the release process experiment of PTX-TSL showed that it had a good temperature sensitive release performance.It is hopeful that this siCOX-2 system can be used for reducing drug resistance of PTX and improving the treatment effect of PTX through the synergistic antitumor drug resistance effect of siCOX-2.
