Objective Identifying the factors of psychological pressure from medical disputes on clinical doctors and possible solutions. Methods Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI) were called into play, to study 52 clinical doctors in a tertiary hospital in a city, who had encountered medical disputes in recent two years. In parallel, 63 clinical doctors without such disputes and 50 non-clinical workers were randomly selected as the control group for questionnaires. Results Clinical doctors with such an experience were commonly found to be anxious, and their SAS score (58. 27±11.38)averaged higher than those in the control group. Doctor-patient relationship, legal liabilities and clinical positions were found to be positively correlated to psychological pressure of clinical doctors. Conclusions Medical disputes tend to add to psychological pressure of the doctors. Clinical doctors deserve psychological counseling and training and improvement of their working conditions.

Gene chip is an important biological technology, which is developing quickly recently. In this article, we reviewed the origin, development, basic operation of gene chip. Several kinds of gene chips including tiled array, direct allele specific fluorescence targeting (DAFT) array, labeled auxiliary oligonucleotides array, ligase detection reaction array, and peptide nucleic acid array were introduced as examples for their use in mutation detection. The prospect of the use of gene chip in optimizing drug therapy was also discussed.

Objective To detect the expression of IL-6 in peripheral blood of patients with gastric cancer,as well as the expressions of IL-6,IL-6 receptor(IL-6R) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) in the neoplastic tissue in order to investigate the clinical significance of such expressions in looking for a convenient and effective way for the diagnosis and therapy of gastric cancer.Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was employed for the parallel semi-determination of IL-6 levels in the peripheral blood of 30 patients with gastric cancer,as well as the levels of IL-6 and IL-6R in the neoplastic and adjacent tissues.The expression of PCNA in the neoplastic tissues was determined with immuno-histochemistry technique.Moreover,the correlation was comprehensively analyzed among IL-6,IL-6R,PCNA and the clinicopathologic findings of gastric cancers.Results The IL-6 levels in both peripheral blood and neoplastic tissues of 30 patients were significantly higher than those of the normal controls.The IL-6 levels in peripheral blood decreased significantly after operation;the IL-6 and IL-6R levels in cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in their adjacent tissues with a positive correlation between IL-6 and IL-6R levels.The expressions of IL-6,IL-6R and PCNA in both peripheral blood and neoplastic tissues of patients were positively related to the clinical manifestation of gastric cancer,including the differentiation degree of cancer cells,tumor size,infiltration extent and the metastasis of cancer cells.Conclusions IL-6,IL-6R and PCNA are the important factors which affect the degree of malignancy of the gastric cancer concerned,and they also,reflect the possibility of infiltration and metastasis of cancer cells.The IL-6 level in peripheral blood and the levels of IL-6,IL-6R and PCNA in tumor tissues of patients with gastric cancer are obviously high.The expression levels of all these factors are correlated with the clinicopathologic findings of gastric cancer.An adequate determination of IL-6 and PCNA is of benefit to the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer,and to the judgment of the course and prognosis of gastric cancer.

Aim To establish a simple reverse dot blot m ethod (RDB) for detecting the genotype of NAT2 in Chinese people. Methods PCR was performed to obtain a biotin labeled DNA fragment. Allele specific oligonucleotide probes were spotted onto a nylon membrane. The DNA fragment hybridized with the membrane under stringent conditions. Finally, a nonradioactive colorimetric reaction was used to detect five mutants of NAT2. NAT2 genotypes of 48 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were detected with RDB.Results The results obtained from RDB were in consistent with those from allele specific amplification. The NAT2 allele frequencies of *5, *6, *7 were 1.04%, 22.9% and 15.6%, respectively.Homozygous wildtype,heterozygous mutant and homozygous mutant subjects were 33.3%, 54.2% and 12.5%, respectively.Conclusion RDB method was proved to be accurate and convenient, it can be u sed in rational drug therapy.

Objective To investigate the association between SERPINH1 gene expression in gastric cancer tissue with the pathology and prognosis and its action mechanism in gastric cancer.Methods The gastric cancer data in the TCGA and GEO public databases were collected,and the retrospective analysis and survival analysis were conducted on the SERPINH1 expression data of the tumor tissue samples and related clinical information;the gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA) was used to analyze the SERPINH1 expression related functional gene sets and to investigate the SERPINH1 action mechanism.Results In 421 cases of gastric cancer sample,the SERPINH1 expression level had no significant differences with the tumor grade,N stage and metastasis.However,its high expression was significantly correlated with the tumor invasion depth(T stage)(P=0.049).The higher the expression level,the preater the invasion depth.In the survival analysis,the patients with high SERPINH1 expression showed a poorer prognosis than those with low SERPINH1 expression[P<0.001,HR(95%CI):1.97 (1.61-2.41)].The gene set enrichment analaysis found that the related gene sets such as tumor signal pathway and tumor microenvironment were enriched in the SERPINH1 high expression samples.The gene expression chip data in 69 cases of gastric cancer and paracancerous tissue also suggested that SERPINH1 was highly expressed in gastric cancer (P<0.000 1) with a greater diagnostic value (AUC=0.988 1).Conclusion High expression of SERPINH1 is correlated with the occurrence and development of gastric cancer,and has a greater clinical significance.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the plasminogen activator inhibitor 1(PAI 1) promotor region gene polymorphism and cerebral stroke.Methods The genotype of 4G/5G allele polymorphism in the PAI 1 promotor region were determined by polymerase chain reaction from leukocytes of 60 normal controls and 96 patients with cerebral stroke. Their plasma PAI 1 activity was assayed by ELISA.Results The plasma PAI 1 activity level in CI group was significantly higher than the CH and the control group.The plasma PAI 1 activity level (homozygote 4G/4G genotype patients) in CI and CH group was the highest,5G/5G genotype was the lowest,heterozygous 4G/5G genotype was in the middle;the difference was remarkable between 4G homozygote genotype and the other two groups,there was no remarkable significance between 4G/5G and 5G/5G genotype.There was remarkable difference between 4G/4G homozygote genotype in CI group and the controls(P 0.05 ).There was remarkable difference between the plasma PAI 1 activity in female patients with CI 4G homozygote genotype patients and the male patients of the same genotype (P

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the plasminogen activator inhibitor 1(PAI 1) gene polymorphism and cerebrovascular disease and whether it played an important role in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disease Methods:The 4G/5G allele polymorphism in the PAI 1 gene promotor region were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from peripheral blood leukocytes from 60 normal controls, 65 patients with acute cerebral infarction and 31 hypertensives complicated with cerebral hemorrhage Their plasma PAI 1 activity were assayed by ELISA Results: The plasma PAI 1 activity level in the CI group was significantly higher than those in the other two groups PAI 1 level was significantly higher in 4G allele homozygous than both those in 4G/5G heterozygous and 5G homozygous Although PAI 1 level was higher in 4G/5G heterozygous than that in 5G homozygous, the difference had not reach statistically significant There were significant differences between acute cerebral infarction PAI 1 gene polymorphism and controls (P0 05), and PAI 1 levels of the 4G/4G genotype among female patients with CI were higher than those of the male patients with CI of the same genotype Conclusion: The results suggest that PAI 1 gene polymorphism may be a susceptible factor to acute cerebral infarction in Chinese, and 4G allele homozygous genotype may be the major risk factor of acute cerebral infarction, especially it may be an independent risk factor of female CI patients
