Objective To establish symptom check list 90 (SCL-90) norm for Chinese oilmen.Methods Based on multi-level stratified or cluster sampling technique,a total of 13 472 oilmen from China National Petroleum Corporation completed a sampling survey on measured data of SCL-90.Student's t test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare gender,age,education level and marriage status.Results All the reliability coefficients were ＞ 0.8 and P for validity test was ＜ 0.05.In comparison with SCL-90 norm of healthy Chinese adults in 1986,the interpersonal sensitive (1.5 ± 0.6)and paranoia (1.4 ± 0.6) of oilmen were lower (t≤-4.17,both P ＜ 0.05),although other 8 factors showed higher scores (t ≥ 2.4,all P ＜ 0.05).Oilmen also had lower scores for each item than Chinese army men (t ≤-2.62,all P ＜ 0.05).Total score (131.4 ± 47.7),interpersonal sensitive (1.4 ± 0.6),hostility (1.5 ± 0.6),paranoia (1.4 ± 0.6) and psychosis (1.3 ± 0.5) of females were lower than those of males (t≥2.53,all P ＜ 0.05).30-39 years group indicated the highest scores for each item (all P ＜0.05),while 17-29 years group got the lowest (all P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,the subjects whose education level was equate to or lower than high school or those got married were found to have the highest scores (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Our data show better item differentiation,reliability and validity of SCL-90.SCL-90 norm may be used for mental health assessment of Chinese oilmen.

ObjectiveTo provide evidence for the development of national norm of coping style for petrol station employee.MethodsStratified random sampling surveys and individual interview were performed in 13 269 in-service petroleum employees.Taking gender,age,education level and marriage as independent variables and coping factors as dependent variables,t test or analysis of variance was completed.Results Our data indicated that coping style was significantly changed in different gender ( P＜0.05),age (F=4.596,P＜0.05),education (F=14.723,P＜0.05) and marriage groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Specified working environment results in corresponding coping style,and the development of national norm may be important and necessary.

Objective To investigate the changes of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO)) and their relation with lung function in bronchial asthma.Methods FENO and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) were measured during the periods of acute onset,chronic persistence and paracmasis in 54 patients with asthma and 19 healthy persons.Results There were significant differences in the levels of FENO and FEV1 among the course of acute onset [(57.59 ± 32.24) ppb and (1.72± 0.33) L],chronic persistent course [(40.02 ± 15.68) ppb and (2.41 ± 0.23) L],paracmasis [(26.71±6.07) ppb and (2.82±0.29 )L]and control[(14.74±3.42 ) ppb and (2.93±0.13)L] (F=19.555,163.096,P＜0.01) except for the levels of FEV1 between paracmasis and control group(P＞0.05).The negative correlation between FENO and FEV1 was found in the course of acute onset(r=- 0.666,P =0.005 ),but not in the chronic persistent course ( r =- 0.288,P =0.176) and paracmasis(r=-0.246,P=0.457).Conclusions The level of FENO is increased and may be useful to evaluate control degree in patients with asthma.

OBJECTIVETo determine the contents of tiliroside [kaempferol 3-O-beta-D-(6 " -p-coumaroyl) glucopyranoside] in the Daphne genkwa.

METHODThe separation was performed on ZORBAX XDB C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm), using acetonitrile and water/acetic acid mixture (1,000/1) (gradient elution: 0-18 min, 26 : 74; 18-33 min, 80 : 20) as mobile phase with the rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1) at 25 degrees C, the wavelength for measurement was 310 nm.

RESULTThe linearity was in the range of 0.1-5.0 microg (n=6), and the correlation coefficient was 0.9999. The average recovery for compound tiliroside was 101.50% (RSD 0.90%) (n=6).

CONCLUSIONThis method is accurate, reliable and reproducible to determine tiliroside in the D. genkwa.
