Objective: To investigate the cultural and psychological adaptation of business expatriates in the Chinese mainland. Methods: The questionnaires included sociocultural adaptation questionnaire and psychological adaptation questionnaire. Results: The construct of sociocultural adaptation could be divided into three dimensions: living conditions, interaction and communication, and cognition and value system. The sociocultural adaptation pattern showed a double-U-curve and the psychological adaptation pattern showed a decreasing tendency by time. There was no significant discrepancy in sociocultural adaptation across cultural distance. Conclusion: The cultural and psychological adaptation is difficult for business expatriates in China. The reasons perhaps include insufficient cultural training and improper training time.

Snake antivenomimmunoglobulins are considered to be the most efficient drugs in snake envenomings. Most snake antivenomimmunoglobulins all over the world are still prepared by fragmentation of polyclonal antibodies isolated from hyper-immunized horse serum till now. In this review, we retrospect the history of snake antivenomimmunoglobulins, analysis the present situation and pay the close attention on the key technological links in the process of research and manufacturing, such as properties of IgG and its fragments, selection and preparation of immunogen, optimization of immunization schedule and protein isolation and purification, which can be available for the reference in the research and development of snake antivenom.

Objective To compare the effects of three different plasma substitutes, 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES 200/0.5), 4% Gelofusine and 5% Polygeline, on blood coagulation and arterial blood gases and electrolytes during acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHHD) . Methods Seventy ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ adult patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery with the intraoperative blood loss predicted to exceed 500 ml were entered in this study. Radial artery was cannulated for BP monitoring and blood sampling before induction of anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 3 ?g?kg-1, propofol 2 mg?kg-1 and atracurium 0.5 mg? kg-1 and maintained with enflurane (1-2 MAC) . The patients were mechanically ventilated ( VT= 10 ml? kg-1 , RR = 12 bpm) after tracheal intubation. Internal jugular vein was cannulated after induction of anesthesia for CVP monitoring. After induction of anesthesia the patients were randomized to receive 20 ml?kg-1 of either 6% HES (group H, n = 20), 4% Gelofusine (group G, n = 20), 5% Polygeline (group P, n = 20) or lactated Ringer's solution (group R, n = 10) within 20-40 min. Arterial blood samples were taken before AHHD, at the end of and 30 min after the infusion of substitute for determination of activated coagulation time (ACT), thromboelastography (TEG) , blood gas analysis and plasma electrolytes. Blood volume expansion rate was calculated [ blood volume expansion rate = (Hct before AHHD - Hct after AHHD) / Hct before AHHD] .Results The four groups were comparable with respect to sex, age and body weight. Lactated Ringer' s solution was significantly less efficient in expanding intravascular blood volume than the 3 plasma substitutes, but there was no significant difference in blood volume expansion rate among group H, G and P. CVP increased significantly after AHHD compared with the baseline value before AHHD in group H, G and P (P

Objective: To explore the effects of 17 β-estrogen (E2) and 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME) on hypoxic induced factor-1α (HIF-1α) and alkane hydroxylase (AlkB) in experimental rats with ovariectomy and hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Methods: A total of 60 healthy female SD rats with castrated surgery were randomly divided into 6 groups:①Routine oxygen group,②Routine oxygen + E2 group, the rats received subcutaneous injection of E2 (20 μg/kg?d),③Routine oxygen + 2ME group, the rats received 2ME (240 μg/kg?d) and④Hypoxia group,⑤Hypoxia + E2 group,⑥Hypoxia + 2ME group.n=10 in each group and all animals were treated for 8 weeks to establish the hypoxic pulmonary hypertension model. The mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) was measured after bloodletting, right ventricle hypertrophy index (RVHI) was calculated and small pulmonary artery remodeling was observed by HE staining. The expression level of HIF-1α and AlkB were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Results: Compared with Routine oxygen group, the rats in Hypoxia group had obviously thickened small pulmonary artery wall with narrowed lumen, increased mPAP and RVHI; the above changes in Hypoxia + E2 and Hypoxia + 2ME groups were relatively smaller, their mPAP and RVHI were higher than Routine oxygen group, while mPAP and RVHI were similar between Hypoxia + E2 and Hypoxia + 2ME groups. There were no real morphological changes in small pulmonary vessels in Routine oxygen + E2 and Routine oxygen + 2ME groups. The HIF-1α expression was obviously elevated in Hypoxia group than Routine oxygen group, while the elevation was less in Hypoxia + E2 and Hypoxia + 2ME groups. HIF-1α expression had no real changes in Routine oxygen+E2 and Routine oxygen + 2ME groups. The AlkB expression was obviously reduced in Hypoxia group than Routine oxygen group, while the reduction was less in Hypoxia + E2 and Hypoxia + 2ME groups. AlkB expression had no real changes in Routine oxygen + E2 and Routine oxygen + 2ME groups. Conclusion: Estradiol E2 and 2ME could remit pulmonary hypertension which might be via up-regulating AlkB expression and down-regulating HIF-1α expression in experimental rats with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension.

Objective To compare the clinical effects of four kinds of gingival retraction technique in treat-ment of anterior teeth restoration.Methods 169 patients for 352 teeth with tooth body and tooth dentition defect by anterior crown bridge repair were chosen and divided into 4 group by patients'order,including A group(88cases)with single track method,B group(91cases)with single line for two times method,C group(89cases)with double line method and D group(94cases)with double line for two times method.And the fixed restoration satisfaction rate of anterior teeth of both groups was compared.Results The satisfaction rates of gums,shoulder,impression,model and restoration of A group were 73.9%,70.1%,69.3%,65.9%,61.4% respectively,which of B group were 83.5%, 80.2%,80.2%,80.2%,76.9%;which of C group were 84.3%,80.9%,78.7%,77.5%,76.4%;which of D group were 94.6%,93.6%,92.6%,92.6%,90.4%.There were no significant differences in the fixed restoration satisfaction rate of anterior teeth between B group and C group(χ2 =2.43,1.17,2.85,3.04,2.30,all P >0.05). The fixed restoration satisfaction rate of anterior teeth of D group were significantly better than A,B and C groups (χ2 =14.90,16.39,15.83,19.87,21.38,all P <0.05 ).Conclusion Double line for two times method in the treatment of anterior teeth restoration can efficiently avoid ree gingival damage in the situation with abutment shoulder preparation,improve the quality of preparation,impression and model,and are helpful to higher the fitness of the neck of anterior teeth fixed restorations.

ObjectiveTo observe the treatment effect of seveve acute pancreatitis (SAP) with gabexate combined with Xuebijing after local infusion. MethodsForty-four patients with SAP were randomly divided into receiving intravenous gabexate or Xuebijing alone (control group) group and receiving local infusion with gabexate combined with Xuebijing( experimental group) group. At 1,7,14 days of testing in diamine oxidase (DAO), lipopolysaccharide, IL-18, TNF-α, APACHE- Ⅱ score, T lymphocyte subpopulation and monocyte HLA-DR expression and single change in the number of nuclear cells were tested. ResultsBetween two patients groups at 1,7,14 days diamine oxidase, lipopolysaccharide, IL-18, TNF-α, APACHE-Ⅱ score showed a downward trend; T suppressor cells (Ts) reduced in their percentage; total T lymphocytes, T helper cell (Th), monocyte HLA-DR expression (percentage) and mononuclear cells showed an upward trend in the experimental group than control group, the differences being statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). In the experimental group and control group, the pain relief time, intestinal function recovery time, the withdrawal of ventilator time, the incidence of sepsis, the rate of conversion to open surgery were statistically significant different (P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions Compared with intravenous drug use alone the implementation of gabexate combined with Xuebijing local infusion can reduce the early course of SAP patients intestinal permeability and reduce endotoxin translocation, protect intestinal barrier function of patients with SAP, improve the patients' immune function, symptoms, signs and reduce the rate of sepsis and transit operations.
