Objective:To investigate the relationship between marriage/loving affairs related life events and the high suicide rates among Chinese rural women.Methods: 66 suicides and 66 living controls were studied using psychological autopsy methods.Results:There were 36 women in the research subjects which account for 27% of the total sample (36/132). There were more marriage/loving affairs related life events in female suicide than in other groups (1.6?2.1 vs. 1.0?1.5,0.2?0.6,0.6?0.9) and in female suicide the frequency of marriage/loving affairs related life events is higher than the frequency of other four types of life events (1.6?2.1 vs. 0.5?0.7,0.4?0.6,0.9?0.9,0.4?0.9). Both of the two differences do not have statistical significance.Conclusion:More attention should be paid to marriage/loving affairs related life events for Chinese rural women.

Objective To investigate the microbiological and epidemiological characteristics of bloodstream infections in Peking University Third Hospital Methods The clinical, microbiological and epidemiological data of bloodstream infections in Peking University Third Hospital from January lst,2005 to December 31st, 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. Differences in proportions were compared using X2 test. Results Six thousand four hundred and eighty-eight blood culture tests for 5 138 episode of bloodstream infections of 3 795 patients were performed. The positive rate was 9.9%. The average incidence rate of nosocomial infection was 40.8 cases per 10 000 hospital admissions. In the 593 pathogens, 483 (81.5%) were pathogens causing nosocomial. The ratio of Gram-positive microbs, Gram-negative ones and fungi (all were Candida spp.) were 38.5%, 54.7%, and 6.8%, respectively. The corresponding ratio of nosocomial pathogens were 42.0%, 49.9% and 8.1%, respectively. The most frequently isolated strain was Escherichia coli (25.3 %). The coagulase negative staphylococcus was the second one (18.8%). The corresponding ratio of Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus spp. , Pseudornonas aeruginosa , Acinetobacter baumannii and anaerobs were 7.1%, 7.4%, 8.3%, 3.2%, 2.2% and 0.7%, respectively. Ten patients (1.7%) had experienced polymicrobial infection. In hospital setting, Streptococcus spp. And Escherichia coli infections were more frequently in non-intensive care unit (ICU) than ICU (X2= 9.240, P= 0.002; X2= 23.609, P,<0.01; respectively). But the infection rate of Candida spp. Was significantly higher in the ICU (X2= 5.498, P= 0.019). The time interval between hospital admission and onset of infection for the most frequently isolated pathogens ranged from 15.1 days (Escherichia coli) to 29.7 days (Acinetobacter baumannii). The degree of resistance to the common antimicrobal agents had no change in the three years. Conclusions The average incidence rate of nosocomial bloodstream infection is 40.8 cases per 10 000 hospital admissions. The main pathogens are the Gram-negative microbs.

Objective To investigate the characteristic of intravascular catheter-related infections (CRI) in Peking University Third Hospital in 2009. Methods The clinical and microbiological features of CRI were analyzed retrospectively. Results Two hundred and nineteen catheters were examined. Twenty-nine CRI cases were confirmed with colonization, 7 were insertion site infection and 6 were catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) by quantitative catheter culture method, but no CRBSI was diagnosed by differential time to positivity (DTTP) method. The incidence rates of CRBSI in intensive care units (ICU) were 0. 99- 3.03 per 1000 catheter-days.Among the colonized strains, 51.72 % were Gram-positive cocci, 20.69 % were non-fermenting bacilli (NFB), 13. 79% were Enterobacteriaceae and 10. 34% were Candida. One neonatal CRBSI was caused by Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Most of bacterial isolates were drug resistant. Seventy-seven percent of adult patients were older than 60 years and most of them had chronic underlying diseases.All of the 9 neonate patients were preterm neonate and 7 of them were extremely low birth weight infants. Conclusion There is a certain amount of CRI occurred in Peking University Third Hospital in 2009 and the intravascular catheter management should be enhanced.

Objective To study the molecular mechanism of benzo( a) pyrene underlying the role of estrogen metabolism-related genes in human endometrial cancer cells. Methods Effect of benzo( a) pyrene on CYP450 was studied by exposing human endometrial cancer cells ( RL95-2) to benzo( a) pyrene at various concentrations ( 0. 016,0. 8,0. 4,2. 0 and 10 ?mol/L BP) for 12 h,or to 2 ?mol/L BP for 6,12,24,36 and 48 h. RL95-2 cells were harvested and cleaved. Expressions of CYP1A1,CYP1B1 and CYP3A4 proteins in RL95-2 supernatant were detected by Western blotting. Supersome in expressed CYP450 was used as a positive control to confirm the reliability of assay methods. Results The expression of CYP1A1 protein was significantly increased in RL95-2 cells 12 h after they were exposed to different concentrations of benzo( a) pyrene or to 2 ?mol/L BP for different periods of time,and reached it peak at 48 h,indicating that expression of CYP1A1 protein depends on the used dose and time of benzo( a) pyrene. Conclusion Benzo( a) pyrene can increase the expression of CYP1A1 in human endometrial cancer cells,cause changes in estrogen metabolism,and inhibit proliferation of human endometrial cancer ells.

Objective To investigate the effect of low intensity microwave exposure on the reproduction and offspring health of men. Method 424 married men operating radar constantly and 204 men as control were invited to complete the interview questionnaire on reproduction and offspring health. Results Incidence of abnormal sexual function in the radar group was 23.8%, while it was 14.7% in controls (P

Objective To study the changes in semen quality and levels of sex reproductive hormones in servicemen constantly exposed to radar. Method The quality of semen was analyzed with the aid of the WlTJ-9000 computer-assisted semen analysis system and the levels of sex hormones were determined with radioimmunoassay in 64 servicemen constantly exposed to radar. Results Compared to control group, semen volume, pH value, sperm density and sperm motility in radar-exposed persons were reduced. No significant difference was observed in semen viscosity, sperm viability rate, morphology, acrosomal integrity rate, and hormone levels between these two groups. Conclusions Microwave non-heating effect had adverse effect on the quality of semen, producing sub-clinical injuries.

Objective To compare the effects on neurobiological factors of attributional retraining group therapy (ARGT) or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) for major depressive disorder (MDD),anxiety disorder (AD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).Methods Outpatients with MDD,AD and OCD were divided into ARGT group (n =63) and SSRI group (n =66) according to the sequence of entering the study.MDD,AD and OCD patients were respectively measured with Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA),and Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) before and after 8 weeks treatment.All subjects were detected of plasma serotonin,norepinephrine,cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone by radioimmunoassay before and after treatment.Results After treatment,HAMD scores of MDD patients were reduced significantly in both ARGT group (t =18.411,P =0.000) and SSRI group (t =20.092,P =0.000) ; HAMA scores of GAD patients were reduced significantly in both ARGT group (t =13.989,P=0.000) and SSRI group (t=15.815,P=0.000) ;Y-BOCS scores of OCD patients were reduced significantly in both ARGT group (t =5.465,P =0.000)and SSRI group (t =4.792,P =0.000).In ARGT group,MDD (t =3.145,P =0.006),AD (t =2.785,P =0.012) and OCD patients (t =2.877,P =0.011) decreased plasma cortisol concentrations significantly.In SSRI group,MDD (t =-2.923,P =0.010) and OCD patients (t =-2.301,P =0.035) improved plasma serotonin significantly and MDD patients (t =-2.333,P =0.033) improved plasma norepinephrine significantly.Conclusion ARGT can modulate plasma cortisol level.SSRI can up-modulate plasma serotonin level.The two therapies take effect by different biological ways.

Objective To study the factors effecting on flow cytometric sperm chromatin structure assay.Methods The SCSA explores the metachromatic properties of acridine orange (AO) and flow cytometry to monitor the susceptibility of sperm chromatin DNA to acid induced denaturation in situ because of the low pH treatment. Results COMP?t, ?t, SD?t value were different upon on the storage methods (①sperm was preserved in 4℃, ②sperm was cryopreservated after dilution ③sperm was cryopreservated). Results show that the second method above made the least artificial injury to sperm DNA. It did not affect the results if the samples were quickly thawed in a 37℃ water bath and detected immediately and the detect current velocity was lower than 300 cell/sec. The intra -CV was 7 28% and the internal CV was 8 92%. Mean and standard deviations of COMP?t were 8 7?11 0% in 511 healthy men. Because data present right skew distribution, the reference range of COMP?t is
