Objective To realize job satisfaction of doctors from the secondary hospital and its influencing factors and put forward countermeasures for doctor job satisfaction.Methods 2066 doctors from the secondary hospital were investigated by self-made scale,and analyzed by analysis of variance,non-conditional logistic regression analysis and other methods.Results The average score of total job satisfaction of doctors was (3.44±0.95),in which about 57.6% of doctors expressed satisfaction with the current work.The scale of job itself satisfaction had the hisheet score,that was (3.91±0.79),while the scale of job retum satisfaction had the lowest score,that was (2.85±1.16).Leadership behavior played the most decisive role in doctors job satisfaction(sβ=0.7,P<0.01).Condusion The total job satisfaction of secondary hospital doctors is just above the average and doctors are most dissatisfied with the work concentrated in the areas of return and the practice environment.
4.Adjunctive treatment of axial undifferentiated spondyloarthritis by Qiangji Recipe: a clinical study.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2015;35(1):37-40
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Qiangji Recipe (QR) in ad- junctive treatment of axial undifferentiated spondyloarthritis (axuSpA) through a four-week open study.
METHODSFifty-four axuSpA patients of Shen-deficiency Du-channel cold syndrome (SDDCS) in line with inclusive criteria were recruited and assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 27 in each group. Patients in the control group took Celecoxib Capsule (0.2 g each time, twice per day). Patients in the treatment group additionally took QR (consisting of Herba Epimedii 15 g, antler glue 15 g, Cibotium Barometz 15 g, eucommia bark 20 g, dipsacus asper 10 g, two toothed achyranthes root 15 g, drynaria 15 g, Taxillus Chinensis 20 g, ground beetle 10 g, scorpion 5 g, wild celery 10 g, notopterygium incisium 10 g, cow-fat seed 10 g, white mustard seed 6 g, and licorice root 6 g, one dose per day, twice daily). The therapeutic course for all was 4 weeks. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Bath AS Metrology Index (BASMI), total body pain and spinal pain, patient and physician global assessment on a four-point scale, the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment. The primary end point in this study was the proportion of patients with a 20%improvement response accord- ing to the ASAS International Working Group Criteria (ASAS 20 responders) at week 4.
RESULTSTotally 50 patients completed this trial, 26 in the treatment group and 24 in the control group. Improvement of BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI, ASQoL, ESR, and CRP was shown in both groups after treatment. Better effect was shown in the treatment group in all indices except ESR and BASMI after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Twenty cases (accounting for 76.92%) in the treatment group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4, while 12 cases (accounting for 50.00%) in the control group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4 (P < 0.05). No obvious adverse reaction occurred in the two groups.
CONCLUSIONQR combined Celecoxib Capsule showed better effect in treating axuSpA patients than using Celecoxib Capsule alone.

Objective: To study stress distribution and displacement by different distract directioos on mandibular corpus with finite element method. Methods:A three-dimensional finite element model of mandibular distraction osteogenesis was established.Von Mises stress as well as the displac ement of gnathion and gonion under different loads were measured. Result s:The stress and displacement were positively related with distract forc e. Von Mises stress primarily accumulated in distracted areas and were higher un der bilateral distraction parallel to the occlusial plane. Gnathion and gonion w ere positively displaced on X and Z axes and negatively displaced on Y axis. Distraction parallel to the mandibular body induced positive displaceme nt of mandible on X and Y axes and negative on Z axis. Concl usion:Transversal displacement to the opposite side is greater during un ilateral distraction, while displacement on the saggittal plane is greater durin g bilateral distraction.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of implanted drug delivery system (DDS) in patients with inoperable pancreatic carcinoma.Methods During 1998 to 2004,145 patients with no indication for operation were randomly divided into two groups.In 73 patients with regional interventional chemotherapy group (group A),percutaneous left subclavain artery port-catheter DDS implantation with the tip in common hepatic artery was performed, and regional chemotherapy infusion were done in every 1 to 2 month. In 72 patients with systemic chemotherapy group (group B), the chemotherapy were given via peripheral vein in every 1 to 2 month. The FAM(adriamycin 40 mg/m2+mitomycin 6 mg/m2+fluorouracil 375 mg/m2) were selected in two groups. Results In group A, after 2-10 (average 7.6) cycles of chemotherapy, 4 patients reached complete release (CR) and 49 patients reached partial release (PR). In group B, after 1-7 (average 3.8) cycles of chemotherapy, no patient reached CR and 25 patients reached PR. The effective ratio was 60.2% and 34.7% in group A and B, respectively. The survival time ranged from 3 to 34 months (median 13.5 months) in group A and 1 to 13 months (median 6.2 months) in group B. Among the 56 patients with obstinate pain in group A, 27 patients were free of pain and 22 patients got partially alleviation 2-3 weeks after chemotherapy. Among the 54 patients with obstinate pain in group B, 11 patients were free of pain and 14 patients got partially alleviation 2-3 weeks after chemotherapy. The pain-releasing ratio in group A and group B was 87.5% and 46.3%. There were no severe damage of liver, kidney, heart and bone marrow in group A. Twenty five patients in group A experienced mild digestive side-effect and decrease of white blood cells, all of them completed the chemotherapy. In group B, 3 patients experienced bone marrow arrest, one died of severe damage of liver and kidney, and 67 patients displayed digestive side-effect and decrease of white blood cells. The ratio of side-effect in group B was 90.3%. The differences of effective ratio, survival time and side-effect ratio between group A and B were statistically significant (P
