Objective To understand the influencing factors of the post competency of health technical personnel in township hospitals in a prov-ince,so as to provide scientific reference for improving health professionals'post competency. Methods Using stratified cluster random sam-pling,1242 health professionals from township health centers and village clinics of 14 cities were extracted and then surveyed with questionnaire. Results The average score of the respondents'post competency was 3.43,which meant they could afford most of the work. Multiple linear re-gression analysis showed that the main influencing factors of the professionals'post competency included gender,age,specialty,and training. The female,senior,nursing and health-care professionals with training exhibited a better post competency. Conclusion To realize the further develop-ment of professionals'post competency,medical students should not only be early clinical and more clinical,but also actively participate in the training and continue the education after entering the clinic. On the other hand ,the government should define the function orientation of the town-ship healthy centers and explore human resource management mode based on the post competency.

BACKGROUND:Arsenic trioxide is considered to inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cel s and promote cel apoptosis. Therefore, we wondered whether the arsenic can inhibit the hyperplasia of vascular smooth muscle cel s, an arsenic-coated stent can be compatible with the vascular tissue, and a better vascular intimal coverage as early as possible can reduce intimal hyperplasia.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the vascular histocompatibility of the arsenic-coated stent.
METHODS:Fourteen white rabbits were randomized into two groups and respectively subject to the implantation of arsenic-coated 316 L stainless steel stents and bare 316 L stainless steel stents into the abdominal aorta. After 28 days, the distal and proximal parts of the vessel at the implantation site were ligated and the ligated vessel was taken for hematoxylin-eosin staining and light microscope observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Gross observation:the vessel at the stent site was a little larger than the adjacent vessels in the outer diameter, which was expanded but had no visible thrombus. After cutting the stent, the neointima formed smoothly on the stent surface. (2) Light microscope observation:the stent was located in the middle of the vessel, the medial smooth muscle was pressed, and vascular intimal smooth muscle hyperplasia was found around the stent, thereby thickening the vascular intima. The vascular neointima formed and covered the stent, and there was a thin black layer between the stent and the vascular tissue, which consisted of arsenic and its compounds. These findings suggest that the arsenic-coated stents can be covered with vascular tissues, possessing good vascular histocompatibility.

Oncocytic lipoadenoma is a rare tumor, with only 18 cases having been reported since the first in 1998. We encountered a case of oncocytic lipoadenoma presenting as a slowly growing parotid mass in a 71-year-old man. This tumor is characteristically comprised of a mixture of oncocytes and adipocytes. The present case is one of five reported cases of oncocytic lipoadenoma showing sebaceous differentiation. The results of immunohistochemical study with DOG1 antibody supported the origination of this tumor in the striated duct.
