Objective To explore and analyze the difference of well-being index and self-efficacy among medical staff including military , inactive civilian and contract staff in different positions in military hospitals.Methods Totals of 1 851 medical staff from different positions of 13 military hospitals were investigated by the well-being index and self-efficacy questionnaire to compare the difference .Results The scores of military, civilian and contract staff in well-being index were (11.25 ±2.24), (10.67 ±2.12) and (10.09 ±2.43), respectively, which were lower than adult norm (11.81 ±2.23) with significant differences (t=-4.806, -7.999, -25.004, respectively;P<0.01).The scores of military, civilian and contract staff in self-efficacy were (2.46 ±0.60), (2.18 ±0.54) and (2.39 ±0.51), respectively, which were lower than adult norm (2.86) with significant differences (t =-12.910, -18.790, -32.788, respectively; P <0.01).The scores of well-being index and self-efficacy showed significant differences in military , civilian and contract staff (F=36.206,19.439,respectively; P<0.01).Conclusions Army medical staff’ s well-being index and self-efficacy are low , especially among civilian and contract staff .

OBJECTIVETo study the antifertility and anti-inflammatory effects of compound Kucen gel in vivo.
METHODSAs antifertility experiment, we randomly divided 60 female SD rats into six groups of equal number: normal saline, blank gel, low-, medium- and high-dose compound Kucen gel (0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 g/g), and positive control (4% nonoxynol gel) to receive intravaginal administration of 200 microl of respective agent, followed by copulation with male rats in a 1:1 ratio. At 12 days after successful mating, the female rats were dissected for calculation of the embryos and the rate of contraception. As an anti-inflammatory trial, we established a mouse model of inflammation by applying xylene to the pinna, and equally randomized 60 Kunming mice to six groups as in the former experiment. We determined the degrees and average rates of swelling inhibition in the left ear.
RESULTSHigh-dose compound Kucen gel achieved a fertility-inhibition rate of 100% in the female rats, the number of embryos significantly lower than in the normal saline group (0.00 +/- 0.00 vs 11.00 +/- 2. 00, P < 0.05), but with no statistically insignificant difference from that of the positive control (0.00 +/- 0.00, P > 0.05). High-dose compound Kucen gel also markedly suppressed swelling in the left ear of the mice, with an inhibition rate of 52.3%, the average swelling degree significantly lower than in the normal saline group (10.17 +/- 2.56 vs 21.32 +/- 3.17, P < 0.01), but not remarkably different from that of the positive control (8.53 +/- 1.89, P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONCompound Kucen gel, with its strong antifertility and anti-inflammatory effects, deserves further study and clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effect of insulin pump combined with dipeptidyl peptidase-Ⅳ (DPP-Ⅳ) inhibitor on the treatment of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM). Methods Totally 51 newly diagnosed patients with T2 DM were randomly divided into experimental group (insulin pump combined with DPP-Ⅳ inhibitor) and control group (insulin pump alone). After 15 days of treatment, the clinical effect was compared between two groups. Results After treatment, the blood sugar related indexes in both groups significantly improved (P < 0. 05), and the blood sugar control of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group (P < 0. 05). The pancreatic β cell function index, area under curve of C-peptide and insulin resistance index in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group (P <0. 05). The dosage of insulin, the ratio of patients with blood sugar reaching the standard completely, the time of blood sugar reaching the standard and the increase value of body mass in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group (P < 0. 01). The incidence rate of hypoglycemia was 8. 00% (2/26) in the experimental group and 12. 00% (3/25) in the control group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P> 0. 05). During the treatment, no severe hypoglycemic events and liver and kidney function damage occurred in both groups. Conclusion Insulin pump combined with DPP-Ⅳ inhibitor is effective in the treatment of newly diagnosed T2 DM, which can effectively control blood sugar, reduce insulin resistance and weight gain.

With social development and technology progress, there is an increasing use of daily electronic products and radioactive medical devices, which increases the risk of exposure to radiation in medical practices, daily life activities, and work. Notably, the effects of radiation exposure on pregnant women and their offspring have attracted increasing attention. Comprehensive and accurate assessment and intervention of the effects of radiation exposure on pregnant women and their offspring are of great significance to reduce birth defects and achieve eugenics. This article reviews the effects of radiation exposure during pregnancy on offspring health based on animal experiments and clinical studies, and describes the possible mechanisms, so as to provide the basis for further studies.
