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.

Objective To investigate the effect of inhibiting Mcl-1 gene expression on the biological behavior of gas-tric cancer cell MGC-803 by using a small interference RNA (siRNA). Methods Synthesized siRNA targeting Mcl-1(Mcl-1 siRNA group) was transfected into MGC-803 cells. On the other hand, MGC-803 cells transfected with negative siRNA (Mcl-1siRNA-NC group), MGC-803 cells transfected with Lipofectamine 2000(liposomes control group)and vacant MGC-803 cells(blank control group)were used as controls. Proliferation of MGC-803 cells after transfection of Mcl-1 siRNA was investigated by MTT assay. After 48 h transfection of Mcl-1 siRNA, flow cytometry (FCM) was used to examine the apoptosis cells and cell cycle in all four groups. Polycarbonate membrane transwell chamber was used for evaluating the invasion and migration of the cell line. Results The absorbance of MGC-803 cells decreased greatly after transfected with Mcl-1siRNA for 24、48 and 72 h compared to those in control groups (P<0.05);After transfected 48 h, apoptosis rate in Mcl-1siRNA group was higher than in the blank control group, liposomes control group and Mcl-1siRNA-NC group (%:19.61 ± 1.66 vs 3.69±0.37 vs 3.54±0.47 vs 3.68±0.55,F=12.230, P<0.05),G0/G1 [(41.03±1.86)%] and G2/M phase ratio [(1.80± 0.46)%] in Mcl-1 siRNA group were lower than in the three control groups, S phase ratio [(57.17±1.72)%] in siRNA group was higher than in three control groups (P<0.05). The number of transmembrane cells in Mcl-1 siRNA group in polycarbonate mem-brane transwell chamber experiment (42.00 ± 4.00,76.33 ± 3.51 respectively) were less than in blank control group (79.33 ± 3.51,108.00 ± 3.61 respectively), liposome control group (74.67 ± 2.52,110.67 ± 4.04 respectively) and negative control group (77.33 ± 3.06,109.33 ± 4.51 respectively). However, there was no significant difference in above index among the control groups. Conclusion Inhibitiing Mcl-1 expression can effectively suppress growth, invasion and migration, but promote apoptosis in gastric cancer cells.

Objective To investigate the association of the Cx37 polymorphism of connexin gene with essential hyper?tension (EHT) in Xinjiang Han and Kazak population. Methods In Xinjiang region, 500 EHT patients (EHT group) were in?cluded in this study including Kazak 250 cases and Han 250 cases. Five hundred healthy volunteers (NT) were used as NT group including Kazak 250 cases and Han 250 cases. The values of age, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and other general clinical features were compared between two groups. The poly?morphism of Cx37 gene rs1630310, rs697372 and rs705193 SNP were compared between EHT and NT groups in the two eth?nic groups. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was used to detect the representation, and differences of genotype frequencies and gene frequency were calculated in two groups of Kazak and Han groups. Results There were significant differences in BMI, SBP, DBP, apolipoprotein ratios and homocysteine between EHT group and NT group in Kazak and Han groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in genotype frequencies and gene frequencies of rs705193 between EHT and NT groups (P>0.05). The differences of Kazak rs1630310 genotype and gene frequency were statistically significant (P<0.01). The frequency of Kazak rs697372 locus genotype was not significantly different (P>0.05), but the difference of gene frequen?cy was statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in rs1630310 and rs697372 locus genotype and gene frequency in two groups of Han group. Conclusion Cx37 gene polymorphism is associated with the occurrence of EHT in Xinjiang Kazak population, which may be related with the rs1630310 and rs697372 polymorphism.
