Individual dose monitoring and registry for radiation workers plays a significant role in ionizing radiation protection and occupational health management. Since the nationwide implementation of monitoring from the 1980s, individual dose monitoring for radiation workers in China has been going on nearly 30 years, which is of significance in radiation protection optimization, and occupational health and protection for radiation workers. In order to improve individual dose monitoring and registry, to prevent and control occupational radiation diseases, and to help build "Healthy China" program, this paper presents the evolution of individual dose monitoring and registry in China, discusses the key points and difficulties faced, and proposes suggestions.

Objective To investigate the association of HLA DRB1 alleles with gastric carcinoma and H. pylori infection. Methods HLA DRB1 alleles polymorphism in 63 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and 136 normal controls were tested with the polymerase chain reaction/sequence specific primer(PCR/SSP) technique. The status of H. pylori infection was determined by histology of gastric biopsy specimens and /or by ELISA. Results Both HLA DRB1 0901 and HLA DRB1 12 were positively associated, and HLA DRB1 15 was negatively associated with gastric adenocarcinoma, but no significant associations were found between patients with and without above HLA DRB1 alleles with regard to patients' age at presentation, sex ratio, tumor site (distal vs proximal), TNM staging, histological grading of tumor or status of H. pylori infection. Conclusions Our results suggest that HLA DRB1 0901, DRB1 12 and DRB1 15 are associated with gastric adenocarcinoma, but are not associated with the clinical features of gastric adenocarcinoma and the status of H. pylori infection.

Full ceramic prosthesis is becoming the main prosthetic development direction. As an important kind of full ceramic prosthesis, full ceramic veneer has not only natural cosmetic appearance and perfect biocompatibility, but also can preserve tooth structure as much as possible, which would be more easily accepted by patients for cosmetic prosthesis. Many methods, such as slip casting, die casting and CAD/CAM technology are available to make full ceramic veneer. All the methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Slip casting is easy to be developed widely with low cost, so be used in practical work. In this article, the working process of full ceramic veneer, especially manufacture of removable dies, duplication of refractory models, were introduced, which was supposed to be beneficial for the technicians.

Objective To investigate the effects of type 2 diabetes on learning and memory of APP/PS1/Tau triple transgenic (3 × Tg) mice of Alzheimer’s disease, and the protective mechanism of liraglutide (LIR) thereof. Methods One month old C57BL/6 mice were set to be control group (WT). One month old 3×Tg mice were divided into control group (Tg), liraglutide group (Tg+LIR), type 2 diabetes group (Tg+T2DM) and liraglutide treatment group (Tg+T2DM+LIR). The model of T2DM was established by feeding the high fat and sugar fodder, and then injecting streptozotocin (STZ) in mice, making sure the fasting blood glucose was more than 7 mmol/L. Then the subcutaneous injection of LIR was administered for 2 months. The values of body weight and fasting blood glucose were detected at age of 5-month. Morris water maze was applied to evaluate the spatial learning and memory ability. Western blotting assay was used to measure the levels of phosphorylated Tau, neurofilament (NFs) and insulin receptor substrates. ELISA was used to detect the human Aβ42 to evaluate the effect of LIR on-amyloid. Results LIR can reduce body weight and blood glucose, can alleviate spatial learning and memory damaging caused by T2DM, and also can improve phosphorylated Tau levels, NFs and insulin receptor substrates caused by T2DM, and finally can reduce the deposition ofβ-amyloid of 3 × Tg mice. Conclusion T2DM can aggravate symptoms of AD in 3×Tg mice, and LIR has a protective effect on it.
