OBJECTIVE: To explore the occupational stress status and its influence factors among counselors in institutes of higher education in Guangdong Province. METHODS: By clustering random sampling method,260 counselors from 9universities in Guangdong Province were chosen as study subjects. The sub-questionnaires of Occupational Stress Inventory Revised Edition,included the Occupational Role Questionnaire( ORQ),Personal Strain Questionnaire( PSQ) and the Personal Resources Questionnaire( PRQ) were used to investigate their occupational tasks,stress reaction and coping resources,respectively. The related influence factors were also analyzed. RESULTS: The total scores of ORQ and PSQ of counselors in universities of Guangdong Province were higher than the national norm( P < 0. 01),while the PRQ total score was lower than the national norm( P < 0. 01); the counselors who had over professional task accounted for 13. 85%( 36 /260); the counselors who had occupational stress reaction accounted for 15. 77%( 41 /260); the counselors who lacked the personal coping resource accounted for 16. 54%( 43 /260). The logistic regression analysis indicated that the counselors in non-medical colleges had higher risk of more occupational tasks than those in medical college( P < 0. 05);the counselors aged 30 years or above were more prone to lack of personal coping resource than those aged under 30 years( P < 0. 01). CONCLUSION: Compared with the general population,the university counselors in Guangdong Province have more professional task,higher degree of occupational stress and more shortage of personal coping resources. Therefore,some intervention measures aiming at the main influence factors should be carried out to relieve the occupational stress.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression level of platelet membrane glycoprotein?3(GPⅢa,CD61)and the severity of disease in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome(HFRS).Methods One hundred and four patients with HFRS and 30 healthy individuals were recruited.The percentage of CD61 positive platelets and the mean fluores- cence intensities(MFI)of platelet membrane glycoprotein?3 were determined by flow cytometry (FCM).The 104 patients studied were divided into three groups based on their expression levels of platelet membrane glycoprotein?3 at oligurie phase.Clinical data and laboratory parameters in different groups were compared and analyzed.Results The expression levels of CD61 in patients with HFRS were significantly higher than those in control group,although no significant difference in the percentage of CD61 positive platelets between patients with HFRS and controls was detected.The MFI of CD61 expression in patients with HFRS at fever phase,oliguric phase and polyuric phase was 19.75?2.57,17.46?1.48 and 15.55?0.60,respectively,which was significantly higher than that in control group(3 20?0.12).The expression level of CD61 in patients with HFRS at oliguric phase was negatively correlated with platelet count and serum albumin(r=-0.637 and-0.695,respec- tively)and positively correlated with white blood cell count,blood urea nitrogen,serum creatinine and alanine aminotransferase(r=0.945,0.904,0.956 and 0.891,respectively).When the patients were compared according to the expression levels of CD61,it was indicated that the higher the expression level of CD61,the higher the incidence of uremia,hypoalbuminemia,abnormal liver func- tion and leukocytosis.Conclusions The expression levels of platelet membrane glycoprotein?3 in patients with HFRS are different in different clinical phases and are significantly correlated with the severity of the disease in the patients.It suggests that the expression levels of platelet?3 integrin are dramatically increased in patients with HFRS,which may be an indicator for the severity of disease and be helpful for monitoring the state of the patients' diseases and evaluating the severity of the disease.

The objective was to study the incidence and prognosis significance of -7/7q- abnormalities in acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Conventional cytogenetic analysis of R-band was used to test -7/7q- chromosome abnormalities in 410 patients with acute leukemia (AL), in 71 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and in 36 cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia in accelerated phase (CML-AP). The results showed that the incidences of -7/7q- abnormalities in AL, MDS and CML-AP patients were 4.88%, 9.86% and 8.33% respectively. The -7/7q- abnormalities could be found in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), incidences of which were 4.70% and 6.25% (P > 0.05) respectively. 9 cases had -7 or 7q- as the sole chromosome abnormalities, 22 cases showed other additional chromosome abnormalities: -X, -5, +8, t(3; 3), t(11;16) and t(2;11). Monosomy -7 and 7q- abnormality clone was found in one patient with MDS-RAEB, and the number of cells with -7 abnormality was greater than that of 7q- abnormality cells. Four patients acquired CR among 7 patients with ALL after chemotherapy, but 2 out of 13 patients with AML achieved CR while 6 out of 7 patients with MDS transformed into AL. No patients with CML-AP achieved CR. In conclusion, -7/7q- is a frequent aberration in hematologic malignancies as well as AML and ALL. The monosomy -7 and 7q-abnormalities were detected in the same patient. The patients with -7/7q- abnormalities show poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the expression and correlation of NKG2D and sMICA in lung cancer patients. Methods By collecting 30 lung cancer patients as the test group,and taking 30 healthy volunteers as the contrast group, the expression of NKG2D and sMICA in the two groups were examined separately by FACS and ELISA method. Results The expressions of NKG2D in the two groups were (81.56±8.78) %, (85.63±6.62) %. The lung cancer patients were high remarkable. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P <0.05). The expression of sMICA in the two groups were (354.13 ±80.575) pg/ml,(216.53±48.175) pg/ml. The lung cancer patients were low remarkable. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P <0.01). There was a significant relation between the two groups (r =-0.349, P =0.006). Conclusion The expression of NKG2D and sMICA may provid one of the immune targets for diagnosing that can forecast the immune state and malignant metastasis of the lung cancer patients. The significant relation between NKG2D and sMICA may take on main role in the immune escaping of tumor. It may provide the suitable target of the patients for tumor organisms and immune treatment.

OBJECTIVETo explore the treating method for severe craniocerebral trauma combined with transtentorial hernia in children.

METHODSWe treated 58 children with severe craniocerebral trauma combined with transtentorial hernia through evacuating the hematomas, incising the tentorium but preserving the floating bone flap between January 1996 and January 2002.

RESULTSGCS was 3-5 in 17 cases and 6-8 in 41 cases. After treatment, 46 patients (79.30%) recovered well, 6 (10.30%) suffered from mild disability, 1 (1.72%) suffered from severe disability, 1 (1.72%) was in vegetative state, and 4 (6.90%) died.

CONCLUSIONSEvacuating hematomas and incising tentorium can effectively treat the child patients with severe craniocerebral trauma combined with transtentorial hernia, which can decrease the disability and mortality rates greatly, preserve the skull, exempt reoperation for cranioplasty and relieve the psychologic and physiologic burden of the child patients.

Objective To investigate the correlation between diabetes distress and social support of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods Three instruments,including the general information questionnaire,the diabetes distress scale (DDS)and the social support rating scale (SSRS)were used to investigate the correlation between diabetes distress and social support of 95 elderly patients with diabetes mellitus from the endocrinology department of two tertiary level first-class comprehensive hospitals from at Novenber 2017.Results The total scores of diabetes distress are (32.7±11.5),at the level of mild distress.The proportion of moderate/severe level is 31.6%(30/95).The diamensions of "routine life distress" and "emotional distress" are most prominent;Social support overall and all diamension scores are lower than the model (all P<0.05);There is a significantly negative correlation between social support and diabetes distress overall,physical distress,routine life distress and interpersonal distress (all P<0.05). Conclusions The elderly patients with diabetes mellitus have different levels of diabetes distress and low level of social support.There is a negative correlation between diabetes distress and social support.We should strengthen the evaluation of diabetes distress and social support of the elderly patients with diabetes mellitus in clinical work,and take individualized interventions to improve the level of social support,in order to decrease diabetes distress and improve the quality of life.

OBJECTIVETo analyse the outcome of newly diagnosed adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated with HAA (homoharringtonine, cytarabine and aclarubicin) regimen and explore the efficacy and safety of this regimen.

METHODSEighty patients were treated with HAA regimen. The complete remission (CR) rate was observed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate relapse free survival (RFS) rate and the differences were compared with 2-sided log-rank test.

RESULTSOf the 80 patients, 65 (81%) attained CR and the CR rate after the first course of induction was 75%. For the CR patients, the median follow-up was 26 (2 -69) months, and the estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 51% and the estimated 3-year RFS was 53%. For the AML-M5 and AML-M /M2 patients the CR rate was 74% and 87% and 3 year RFS of CR patients was 75% and 37%, respectively. The CR rate of 100%, 83% and 20% was achieved in patients with favorable, intermediate and unfavorable cytogenetics, respectively. The 3 year OS for favorable and intermediate group was 76% and 50% respectively. The median survival time of unfavorable group was only 6 months.

CONCLUSIONHAA regimen is a safe, efficacious, and well-tolerable induction therapy for newly diagnosed AML.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes in brain injury after the induction chemotherapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) by cranial MRI.

METHODSThe clinical data and cranial MRI results of 62 children with ALL who were hospitalized from March 2014 to June 2015 were analyzed retrospectively.

RESULTSBefore chemotherapy, MRI showed bone marrow infiltration of the skull in 33 patients (53%); the children with WBC<20×10(9)/Lhad a significantly lower incidence rate of bone marrow infiltration of the skull than those with WBC≥20×10(9)/L (16 patients/42% vs 17 patients/71%; P<0.05), and the high-risk group had a significantly higher incidence rate of bone marrow infiltration of the skull than the non-high-risk group (71% vs 44%; P<0.05). Before chemotherapy, there were 4 cases (7%) of brain atrophy, and 2 cases (3%) of abnormal signals in the sensory conduction bundle. MRI reexamination in 28 patients after 3 months of chemotherapy showed 3 new cases (11%) of brain atrophy and 1 aggravated case of brain atrophy.

CONCLUSIONSThe children with ALL have bone marrow infiltration of the skull, brain atrophy, and abnormal signals in the sensory conduction bundle before chemotherapy, especially bone marrow infiltration of the skull, and some changes in brain injury disappear after treatment.
