Conclusion: CpG-ODN 2216 can activate human immune reaction by increasing the production of IFN-? and IFN-?,the expression of TLR9 and NK cell lytic activity.

Objective To investigate the satisfaction of clinicians on clinical research associates (CRA)and its influencing factors,for the purpose of providing rationalized proposals on education of CRAs.Methods 141 clinicians were randomly sampled from tertiary hospital for questionnaire survey,using the 5-point Likert scale.The survey covers 4 levels,i.e.,the work attitude,professional knowledge and ability,communication skills,and project management capabilities,as well as 14 dimensions.Data processing and statistics were analyzed using SPSS 15.0 software.The attribute characteristics of the investigation subjects were analyzed using x2 of the contingency table,along with analysis of its correlation with the general satisfaction on CRAs.Results The mean values of the 12 indicators range 2.28 to 3.75,with low satisfaction in general.Among these indicators,satisfaction of the service attitude of the CRA,and of their familiarity with the pilot program and CRF completion axe the highest,respectively,74.04％and 61.70％.Satisfaction of the rest 10 indicators falls below 50.00％.The chisquare analysis showed no association between satisfaction and gender,education,job titles.The satisfaction is different(P＜0.05)between those trained and those not,while there exists a significant differences(P＜0.01)between those participating in different number of tests.Conclusion Clinicians have a low satisfaction on CRAs.It is recommended to strengthen the training,establish a CRA occupation certification system,and to strengthen the clinicians' emphasis and competency of clinical trials.These actions will normalize the industry of clinical trials and improve the level of clinical trials in China.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the survival rate and life expectancy of patients with pneumoconiosis and influence factors in Changsha from 1956 to 2010. METHODS: A total of 3685 patients with pneumoconiosis were diagnosed and reported from 1956 to 2010 in Changsha. The fatality rate and life expectancy were analyzed by life table and the cause of death was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model. RESULTS: The death rate increased obviously with age. Age and accumulation death probability showed linearity (Ŷ=1.271+0.041X, r=0.989). The life expectancy was 60.12 years. The first cause of death was pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with pneumoconiosis. Ruling out the influence of pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, and lung source heart disease, the life expectancy of patients with pneumoconiosis averagely extended 0.83, 0.99, and 0.02 years. The death rate of pneumoconiosis-tuberculosis had significant difference with that of the pneumoconiosisnontuberculosis (P<0.01). Cox regression analysis revealed that the main risk factors for the survival of patients with pneumoconiosis included type of work (smashing worker), complication with tuberculosis, type of pneumoconiosis (silicosis). The death hazard ratio or relative risk caused by them was 1.927, 1.749, and 1.609, respectively. CONCLUSION Prevention of pneumoconiosis should focus on smashing workers in Changsha, while its the treatment primarily attaches importance to complication of tuberculosis and lung infection.
