Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;0(11):-
Objective To investigate the relationship between Alzheimer disease(AD) and plasma homocysteine (HCY) level. Methods Rate of mini mental state examination(MMSE) and levels of plasma homocysteine and folate and vitamin B12 were determined in 68 AD patients, which were compared with 60 healthy older. Results The mean plasma level of HCY was higher in AD patients than that in contrast group,and the very reverse of plasma level of folate and vitamin B12(P15?mol/L,the odd ratio(OR) was 4.3(95% CI 1.89~7.43). Plasma level of HCY was negatively correlated with that of folate and vitamin B12 and rate of MMSE in two groups. Conclusion The high level of plasma HCY is an important risky factor to AD patients. The lack of nutrition elements of folate and vitamin B12 et al can result in the rising of plasma HCY.

Objective: To understand the effects of remuneration incentive and their influences on job satis-faction in county public hospital. Methods: Stratified random sampling was adopted. Six county public hospitals in county level in Heilongjiang province were selected as the sample. Exploratory factor analysis was used to ana-lyze the remuneration incentives, descriptive statistical analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to ana-lyze the effects and their influences on work satisfaction. Results: remuneration incentives are divided into four dimensions that comprised a total of 16 items, which including direct material rewards, indirect material re-wards, occupational rewards and social rewards. The surgeon’s job satisfaction is higher than the physician, and is lower than the obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics. Technician and nurses’ satisfaction is lower than the general practitioner. The medical staff who worked less than5 years has the lowest satisfaction. Authorized staff’s satisfaction is lower than off-staff. Direct material rewards and occupational rewards are related to job satisfac-tion. Conclusions:Material rewards were in low level, and non-economic incentive was insufficient. The salary incentive for highly educated talents should be strengthened.

Sunscreen products have been widely used with the increase in public awareness of sun protection. As sunscreens are structurally stable and resistant to degradation, the concern for their biotoxicity and impact on marine environment has been heightened increasingly, and several countries and regions have successively issued bans on relevant sunscreen products. However, these bans have not yet affected the key international rules and regulations related to sunscreen products. The risks of different sunscreens to marine ecosystems and potential risks to human themselves still need to be evaluated through further multidisciplinary researches.
