Objective To survey the quality of life and mental health status of pre-post household service workers who held a high school graduation certificate or above and had been engaged in different work.Methods A total of 254 household service workers completed Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief (WHOQL-BREF).Statistical analyses of variance and correlation were carried out to evaluate mental health status and quality of life of the participants.Results Abnormal score of SCL-90 was found in 8% of household service workers who had graduated from high school.The psychological score of household service workers who had worked as workers(60.59± 2.18)was lower than those who had worked as service workers (66.23 ± 12.13) or peasants (65.40 ± 12.24) (P <0.05).Almost all factors of SCL-90 were negatively correlated with WHOQL-BREF (correlation coefficient -0.140 to-0.376).Conclusions Our data suggest that mental health status can be well in pre-post household service workers who held a high school graduation certificate or above.Special training should be given to the household service workers in accordance with their working experience.
2.Risk factors for gallstones complicated by acute biliary pancreatitis
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2018;34(8):1728-1732
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for gallstones complicated by acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of patients who were admitted to Department of General Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, from January 2014 to September 2017 due to abdominal pain and then diagnosed with gallstones. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups, and the binary logistic regression analysis was used as multivariate analysis. ResultsA total of 700 patients with gallstones were enrolled, among whom 167 were complicated by ABP, resulting in an incidence rate of 23.86%. The univariate analysis showed that sex, gallbladder size, gallbladder wall thickness, gallstone size, the number of gallstones, and presence or absence of common bile duct stones were associated with the development of ABP (all P<0.05). A multivariate analysis was performed for the factors with statistical difference identified by the univariate analysis, and the results showed that male sex (odds ratio [OR]=1.879, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.279-2.758, P<0.05), abnormal gallbladder size (OR=0.282, 95%CI: 0.184-0.434, P<0.05), gallbladder wall thickness ≤3 mm (OR=2.245, 95%CI: 1.490-3.383, P<0.05), gallbladder stone diameter >1 cm (OR=0.438, 95%CI: 0.249-0.769, P<0.05), single gallstone (OR=0.222, 95% CI: 0.130-0.378, P<005), and presence of common bile duct stones (OR=2.775, 95%CI: 1.694-4.546, P<0.05) were significantly associated with the development of ABP. ConclusionMale sex, normal gallbladder size, gallbladder wall thickness ≤3 mm, gallbladder stone diameter ≤1 cm, multiple gallstones, and presence of common bile duct stones are independent risk factors for ABP in patients with gallstones.
