Objective To explore the influence of organizational climate and job burnout on turnover tendency among contract nurses, and establish a model of this influence. Methods Totally 450 nurses were selected and investigated with Organizational Climate Questionnaire(OCQ), Maslach job burnout inventory(MBI) and Turnover Intention Scale(TIS). Results The total score of OCQ was 2.71 ± 0.58, the emotional exhaustion was 25.99 ± 13.89, the depersonalization was 10.21 ± 5.37,the personal accomplishment was 21.92 ± 9.27, and the score of TIS was 2.66 ± 0.94. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were significantly and negatively correlated to OCQ(r=-0.26,-0.22 ,P<0.01),and positively correlated to TIS(r=0.27,0.25,P<0.01). The personal accomplishment was positively correlated to OCQ(r=0.26,P<0.01), and negatively correlated to TIS(r=- 0.26,P<0.01).OCQ was negatively correlated to TIS(r=-0.37,P<0.01).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that OCQ and personal accomplishment could negatively predict nurses′ turnover tendency(β=-0.43,-0.14,P<0.01), and emotional exhaustion could negatively predict nurses′ turnover tendency(β=-0.10,P<0.01). The path analysis showed organizational climate negatively influenced nurses′ turnover tendency via job burnout, and the value of mediating effect was 23.8%(-0.10/-0.42). Conclusions Turnover tendency is significantly correlated with organizational climate and job burnout among contract nurses. The relationship between organizational climate and nurses′ turnover tendency among contract nurses is mediated in part by job burnout.

For the preparation of implementing IEC 60601-1 Ed. 3.1 in advance, this paper analyzes the main difference between IEC 60601-1 Ed. 3.1 and GB 9706.1-2007, and discusses the possible influence to medical device designing and testing.

OBJECTIVETo compare clinical outcomes of bilateral transpedicular balloon kyphoplasty for the treatment of ordinary osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture (OVCF) and severe osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture.

METHODSFrom Junary 2009 to Febuary 2011, 60 patients (70 vertebrae) with osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture were included. All patients were treated by bilateral transpedicular balloon kyphoplasty combined with postural reduction, including 10 males and 50 females aged from 59 to 90 years old with an average of 72.1 years old. In ordinary osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture group, there were 38 patients (44 vertebrae) including 7 males and 31 females aged from 59 to 87 years old with an average of (71.8±6.1) years old. There were 6 patients with two vertebral fractures, 1 vertebra in T9, 5 vertebrae in T10, 7 vertebrae in T11, 13 vertebrae in T12, 9 vertebrae in L1, 4 vertebrae in L2, 4 vertebrae in L3, 1 vertebra in L4. While in severe osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture group, there were 22 patients (26 vertebrae) including 3 males and 19 females aged from 63 to 90 years old with an average of (72.6±7.2) years old. There were 4 patients with two vertebral fractures, 1 vertebra in T9, 2 vertebrae in T10, 3 vertebrae in T11, 9 vertebrae in T12, 6 vertebrae in L1, 3 vertebrae in L2, 2 vertebrae in L3. Operative time, volume of bone cement injection, and vertebral height and changes of Cobb angle before and after operation were observed and compared. Postoperative average recovery rate of vertebral height and correct degree of Cobb angle were caculated and compared, VAS scoring were used to evaluate therapeutic effect.

RESULTSAll operations were completed sucessfully, and pain were relieved at 72 h after operation. All patients were followed up from 6 to 13 months with an average of 10.1 months. Postoperative vertebral height, Cobb angle and VAS score were improved better than that of before operation (P<0.05). Operative time in ordinary group was shorter than severe group, while volume of bone cement injection was more than that of severe group. Average recovery rate of vertebral height and correct degree of Cobb angle in ordinarty group was better than that of in severe group (P<0.05). There was no significant differences between two groups in VAS scores before and after operation (P> 0.05). Three cases (3 vertebrae) ocurred bone cement leakage in ordinarty group, while 5 cases (5 vertebrae) ocurred bone cement leakage in severe group, and there was no meaning between two groups (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONKyphoplasty could receive satisfied curative effect in treating ordinary and servere patients with osteoporotic vertebral compressive fracture, but recovery of vertebral height and correct degree of Cobb angle in ordinary gourp was better than that of in servere group.

Micro-implant anchorage was used for orthodontic intervention of 3 patients with buccal impacted maxillary canine,good clinical outcome was obtained.The micro-implant anchorage may provided a new approach for the treatment of this kind of teeth.

Objective To explore the clinical features and diagnosis of primary immunodeifciency disease caused byTyk2 gene mutations.Methods Clinical data from the ifrst case in China diagnosed of primary immunodeifciency disease caused by Tyk2 gene mutation were retrospectively analyzed, and related literature was reviewed.Results One year and 3 month old boy suffered with repeated pulmonary infection, chronic otitis media, intractable eczema like rash, repeated skin abscess, HSV infection, intracellular bacterial infection, and remarkedly increased total IgE. It was detected that compound heterozygous mutations of c.2269C>G in No. 16 exon and c.149delC in No. 3 exon inTyk2 gene. Literature searching found other 8 cases (5 males and 3 females) of immune deifciency patients caused byTyk2 gene defects, all of which hadTyk2 gene homozygous mutations and presented with repeated infection of paranasal sinus and lung. In the 8 cases 6 cases were combined with mycobacterium tuverculosis infection, 4 cases had repeated virus infection, 4 cases had meningonecephalitis, 3 cases had intractable eczema like rash, 2 cases had salmonella enteritis, 1 case had remarkedly increased total IgE, one case had elevated eosinophils, 5 cases were born in intermarriage family and 1 case died of meningitis caused by unknown etiology.Conclusions When patients have repeated paranasal sinus infection and lung infection, combined with intracellular bacterial infection (including mycobacterium tuberculosis infection), and repeated virus infection or intractable eczema like rash, with or without increased total IgE, immunodeifciency disease caused by Tyk2 gene defection should be considered. Gene sequence analysis can assist in early diagnosis.

Objective To discuss the relationship between GULP1 gene polymorphism of Chinese Han population and schizophrenia,cognitive function.Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) method was used to detect 86 patients with schizophrenia and 72 normal controls GULP1 gene SNPrs2004888 polymorphism;Wechsler Memory Scale(WMS) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test(WCST) assessment of two groups of memory and executive function,and assessed with the PANSS scale clinical symptoms.Results The differences of GULP1 gene SNP(rs2004888) polymorphism genotype and allele frequency was statistically significant (χ2 = 35.71、32.21,all P＜0.05).Genotypes in patients with group comparison of cognitive function between groups showed the genotype groups Wechsler Memory Scale Logical Memory scores were significant(P＜0.05),G/G and T/T genotype compared with the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test in the number of errors,error numbers and classification numbers significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion GULP1 gene SNPrs2004888 polymorphism was associated with schizophrenia,and also related to cognitive function in schizophrenia.
