ObjectiveTo provide evidence for the development of national norm of coping style for petrol station employee.MethodsStratified random sampling surveys and individual interview were performed in 13 269 in-service petroleum employees.Taking gender,age,education level and marriage as independent variables and coping factors as dependent variables,t test or analysis of variance was completed.Results Our data indicated that coping style was significantly changed in different gender ( P＜0.05),age (F=4.596,P＜0.05),education (F=14.723,P＜0.05) and marriage groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Specified working environment results in corresponding coping style,and the development of national norm may be important and necessary.

Objective To investigate the genetic association between polymorphisms of Ser447Stop in lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene and ischemic stroke. MethodsA case-control study was performed in 563 acute ischemic stroke patients and 320 controls. LPL Ser447Stop genotypes in the subjects were detected by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. The frequencies of the alleles in each group were statistically analyzed with Student t-test. ResultsNo significant difference was found in the frequency of G allele of LPL Ser447Stop polymorphism between the case and the control. When subjects were divided into 2 subgroups of cerebral thrombosis infarction and lacunar infarction, the frequency of G allele was significantly higher in the cerebral thrombosis infarction group (9. 7％ ) than that in the control (6. 6％, χ2= 3. 99,P = 0. 045 ), and an increased risk for thrombosis infarction was suggested in the G allele ( OR = 1. 510, 95％ CI 1. 012--2. 261 ). ConclusionThe G allele in polyim Ser447Stop in LPL may be associated with increased risk of cerebral thrombosis infarction.

Objective To investigate serum levels of interleukin(IL)-22 in typeⅠhypersensitivity disease patients with monosensitization and polysensitization,inhaled allergens and food allergens,and explore the correlation between IL-22 levels and allergens.Methods A total of 100 patients with typeⅠhypersensitivity disease and 30 normal controls were recruited in this study.Western blot and enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay were used to detect 19 types of allergens′ specific IgE antibody and IL-22 concentrations,respectively.Results Serum level of IL-22 was positive correlated with the number of sensitized allergens(r=0.318,P=0.001).The levels of IL-22 in polysensitization patients,monosensitization patients and normal controls were 24.52(20.41,29.27),22.02(15.25,25.59),18.06(16.02,23.04)pg/mL respectively.IL-22 in polysensitization patients(n=42) were higher than those in monosensitization patients(n=58) and normal controls(U=867.500 and 229.000,P<0.05,respectively).Compared with the normal controls,the IL-22 level was also higher in monosensitization patients(U=608.000),the difference was significant(P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference on IL-22 between inhaled allergens patients(n=34) and food allergens patients(n=24)(t=0.082,P>0.05).Conclusion Serum level of IL-22 increases in type Ⅰhypersensitivity disease patients,was is positive correlated with the number of sensitized allergens.

Brucellosis is an infectious-allergic anthropozoonosis caused by invasion of Brucella.It belongs to category B infectious disease in China.The epidemic situation of brucellosis is raging again in China just like the rest of world.Especially after 2000,brucellosis became one of the fastest growing infectious diseases.By 2012,all Chinese administrative units at provincial levels except Taiwan had reported the cases of brucellosis.In this paper,we analyzed the epidemic features,prevention and control of brucellosis.We elucidated deep social reasons and the root problems,which impede the prevention and control of brucellosis.We have also discovered the important problems,which should be focused on and solved in the process of prevention and control of brucellosis.

Objective: To study the effects of capsaicin applied locally to infraorbital nerve on primary afferent nerve inadult rats. Methods:Capsaicin solution (2% ) was directly applied onto one lateral intraorbital nerve, and the contralateralnerve was used as self-control. Both experimental and control infraorbita1 nerves were observed under electron tnicroscope on3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 or 42 d after local administration. Substance P(SP)--like immunoreactive positive granules in both lateralnucleus caudalis spinalis nervi trigemini (CNV) were examined by immunohistochemical method. Results: Degenerated un-myelinated fibers in capsaicin-treated nerves were found under electron microscope, and no myelinated fibers changes werefound. The gray scale value of SP-like immunoreactive positive granules in the experimental side was markedly lower thanthat in the control side (P＜0. 01), while no significant difference was observed between different time groups. Conclusion:Local administration of capsaicin can produce selective destruction of unmyelinated fibers in primary afferent nerves, and canreduce the levels of SP in regions of CNV. The results suggest that local administration of capsaicin has potential therapeuticvalue for trigeminal neuralgia.

Objective:Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) is increasingly being introduced in the clinic,both for diagnostics and image guidance.Although dedicated 3D US probes exist,because of its expensive cost,3D US can also be acquired with the still frequently used two-dimensional (2D) US probes.Methods:Obtaining 3D volumes with 2D US probes is a two-step process.First,a positioning sensor must be attached to the probe for 2D image matching;second,a reconstruction of a 3D volume can be performed into a regular voxel grid.Results:This paper presents a way to realize the 3D US in irled-based Image Guided Radiotherapy using a homemade 2D US.Conclusions:The experiments demonstrate a method of saving costs and having advantages in clinic application.

Objective:To investigate the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC) and its relationship with the prognosis of patients with PDAC.Methods:From January 2001 to December 2012, 109 paraffin embedded PDAC tissue samples and 27 normal pancreatic tissue samples were collected from the Department of Pathology, Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University. The expression of HER2 protein in pancreatic tissue was detected by immunohistochemical Envision two-step method. HER2 expression was evaluated according to Hercept test, and its relationship with clinicopathological features and survival time was analyzed.Results:The expression of HER2 protein was negative (-) in 29.4% of PDAC tissues, weakly positive (+ ) in 35.8%, positive (+ + ) in 25.7% and strongly positive (+ + + ) in 9.2%, respectively, and the overexpression rate (+ + , + + + ) was 34.9%; the negative (-) and weakly positive (+ ) expression of HER2 protein in normal pancreatic tissues accounted for 88.9% and 11.1% respectively. There was no expression with positive (+ + ) or strongly positive (+ + + ), therefore, the overexpression rate was 0. The overexpression rate of HER2 protein in PDAC and normal pancreatic tissues was significantly different ( P=0.000). The expression of HER2 protein was significantly correlated with age, and the expression of HER2 protein in patients with PDAC over 65 years old was significantly higher than that in patients with PDAC under 65 years old ( P=0.043), but not with gender, tumor location, tumor grade, T stage, N stage and nerve invasion (all P>0.05). Univariate Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that HER2 expression was associated with postoperative survival time of patients with PDAC ( P=0.032). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that HER2 expression was an independent prognostic factor for survival of patients with PDAC ( P=0.040). The median survival period of patients with HER2 expression + + + was significantly longer than that of patients with HER2 expression -~+ + (128.4 months vs 21.5 months), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.038). Conclusions:The overexpression of HER2 in PDAC tissue was related to the age of patients. The survival time of patients with HER2 strongly positive PDAC was significantly longer. HER2 can be considered as an index to evaluate the biological behavior and prognosis of PDAC.
