Although empirically well understood in their clinical administration, volatile anesthetics are not yet well comprehended in their mechanism studies. A major conundrum emerging from these studies is that there is no validated model to assess the presumed candidate sites of the anesthetics. We undertook this study to test the hypothesis that the single-celled Paramecium could be anesthetized and served as a model organism in the study of anesthetics. We assessed the motion of Paramecium cells with Expert Vision system and the chemoresponse of Paramecium cells with T-maze assays in the presence of four different volatile anesthetics, including isoflurane, sevoflurane, enflurane and ether. Each of those volatiles was dissolved in buffers to give drug concentrations equal to 0.8, 1.0, and 1.2 EC50, respectively, in clinical practice. We could see that after application of volatile anesthetics, the swimming of the Paramecium cells was accelerated and then suppressed, or even stopped eventually, and the index of the chemoresponse of the Paramecium cells (denoted as I ( che )) was decreased. All of the above impacts were found in a concentration-dependent fashion. The biphasic effects of the clinical concentrations of volatile anesthetics on Paramecium simulated the situation of high species in anesthesia, and the inhibition of the chemoresponse also indicated anesthetized. In conclusion, the findings in our studies suggested that the single-celled Paramecium could be anesthetized with clinical concentrations of volatile anesthetics and therefore be utilized as a model organism to study the mechanisms of volatile anesthetics.

{L-End}Objective To investigate the prevalence of neck and waist work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and its relationship with occupational stress among express delivery workers. {L-End}Methods A total of 437 express delivery workers in Shenzhen City were selected as the research subjects using convenient sampling method. The prevalence of neck and waist WMSDs and the level of occupational stress were investigated by the Musculoskeletal Disorder Questionnaire and Work Content Questionnaire. {L-End}Results The prevalences of neck and waist WMSDs among the workers in the past year were 47.6% (208/437) and 60.2% (263/437), respectively. The detection rate of occupatioonal stress was 51.5%(225/437). The prevalences of neck and waist WMSDs among the workers of the occupational stress group were higher than that in the non-occupational stress group (51.9% vs 42.6%, 66.4% vs 53.0%, both P<0.01). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of neck WMSDs was higher in workers with weekly working hours >40 hours, workers with poor working posture, and workers with occupational stress compared with workers with weekly working hours ≤40 hours, workers without poor working posture, and workers without occupational stress, respectively (all P<0.05). The risk of waist WMSDs was higher in workers without weekly exercise, workers with poor working posture, and workers with occupational stress compared with workers with weekly exercise, workers without poor working posture, and workers without occupational stress, respectively (all P<0.05). {L-End}Conclusion The prevalence of neck and waist WMSDs, which may be influenced by occupational stress and poor working postures, is relatively high among express delivery workers.

{L-End}Objective To understand the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and sickness absence due to WMSDs among key industry workers in Shenzhen City. {L-End}Methods A total of 14 949 workers exposed to dust, noise, chemical and radiation (hereinafter referred to as "traditional occupational groups") in some key industries in Shenzhen City, as well as bus drivers, teachers, medical staff, policemen, courier, sanitation workers and video operators were selected as the research subjects using stratified cluster sampling. The Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire was used to investigate the prevalence of WMSDs and sickness absence due to WMSDs in the past year. {L-End}Results The overall prevalence of WMSDs among the study subjects was 56.3% (8 423/14 949). The prevalence of WMSDs in different body parts from high to low was neck, waist, shoulder, back, knee, wrist, ankle, hip, and elbow, which was 37.6%, 35.7%, 31.7%, 25.2%, 18.3%, 15.4%, 14.9%, 12.4%, and 11.6%, respectively (P<0.01). The overall prevalence of WMSDs among different occupational groups from high to low was teachers, video operators, bus drivers, couriers, medical staff, policemen, traditional occupational groups, and sanitation workers, which was 82.2%, 75.7%, 74.9%, 73.9%, 67.9%, 64.3%, 43.3%, and 31.9%, respectively (P<0.01). The overall rate of sickness absence due to WMSDs was 18.3% (2 736/14 949). The overall rate of sickness absence among different occupational groups from high to low was bus drivers, couriers, teachers, traditional occupational groups, policemen, video operators, medical staff, and sanitation workers, which was 31.6%, 24.5%, 20.9%, 20.2%, 15.2%, 12.4%, 9.3%, and 6.7%, respectively (P<0.01). Among different parts of the body, the highest correlation coefficient of WMSDs was found between neck and shoulder [correlatioon cofficient (r)=0.648, P<0.01], while the lowest was between neck and ankle (r=0.303, P<0.01). {L-End}Conclusion The prevalence of WMSDs and sickness absence due to WMSDs among key industry workers in Shenzhen City is relatively high. Comprehensive prevention and control measures should be taken according to the characteristics of occupational population to reduce the impact of WMSDs on the health of occupational population.

Objective To investigate the positive practice environments ( PPE ) of nurses and influencing factors at public hospitals , for reference of building a better PPE .Methods A national cross-sectional survey was performed at 77 public hospitals across seven provinces/metropolises, involving 5374 nurses.PPE included organizational management (internal) and nurses-patient relationship (external). Results The scoring of positive practice environment was 18.51 ±4.69 (total score of 40).The scoring of organizational management and nurses-patient relationship was 9.87 ±3.11 and 8.64 ±2.51 respectively. The scoring of PPE of nurses of general hospital ( GH) was higher than that of traditional Chinese medicine hospital(TCMH) (18.68 ±4.68 versus 18.08 ±4.67, P<0.01).Multivariable analysis showed that , compared with nurses who had not very much pressure about performance assessment , the scores of those who had were declined (βGH =-1.15, 95%CI: -1.55 to -0.76;βTCMH =-1.29, 95%CI: -1.92 to-0.66 ) );compared with nurses who paid less efforts in communicating with their patients , the scoring of those with greater efforts was higher (βGH =2.43, 95%CI:2.00 to 2.86;βTCMH =2.84, 95%CI:2.19 to 3.49).Conclusions PPE of nurses is poor in general in China , and the externally stressful nurse-patient relationship deserves greater attention and efforts than inefficient organization management internally .To improve PPE of nurses , hospitals need to moderate nurses′performance assessment and the nurses need to pay more attention to patient communication .

To explore the mechanism of tea albino variation and high theanine formation, 'Fuyun 6' and a new theanine-rich tea cultivar 'Fuhuang 2' were as materials in this study, pigment content, metabolome and transcriptome of the two cultivars were analyzed by ultramicroelectron microscopy, widely targeted metabolomics, targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics. The results showed that five catechins, theobromine, caffeine, and 20 free amino acids, including theanine, glutamine, arginine, etc., were identified by targeted metabolomics. The amino acid content of 'Fuhuang 2' was significantly higher than that of 'Fuyun 6', and the theanine content was as high as 57.37 mg/g in 'Fuhuang 2'. The ultrastructure of leaves showed that the chloroplast cell structure of 'Fuhuang 2' was fuzzy, most of the grana lamellae were arranged in disorder, with large gaps, and the thylakoids were filiform. The determination of pigments showed that compared with 'Fuyun 6', the contents of chlorophyll A and B, carotenoids, flavonoids and other pigments of 'Fuhuang 2' decreased significantly, some important pigment-related-genes, such as chlorophyllase (CLH), 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED), flavonoid 3β-hydroxylase (F3H) and flavonoid 3', 5'-hydroxylase (F3'5'H) were significantly changed. Compared with 'Fuyun 6', 'Fuhuang 2' identified 138 significantly changed metabolites (SCMs) and 658 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). KEGG enrichment analysis showed that SCMs and DEGs were significantly enriched in amino acid biosynthesis, glutathione metabolism and TCA cycle. In general, the albino phenotype of 'Fuhuang 2' may be caused by a deficiency in photosynthetic proteins, chlorophyll metabolism genes and chlorophyll content. The accumulation of high theanine in 'Fuhuang 2' may be due to the low nitrogen consumption in yellowed leaves and the lack of carbon skeleton, amino and nitrogen resources are stored more effectively, resulting in the up regulation of metabolites and related gene expression in the amino acid synthesis pathway, theanine has become a significant accumulation of nitrogen-containing compounds in yellowed leaves.
