Objectives: To find out influencing factors of quality of life(QOL) of staffs in Centers for Disease Prevention and Control(CDC),whose results would be taken as theoretical evidence for government policy-makers to work out strategy of health human resources.Methods: The WHO Quality of Life Brief Scale(WHOQOL-BREF) was employed as the assessing tool for staffs of CDC who were in a city and its neighborhood counties.Each subject was asked to complete a spot self-assessment.Results: There is no significant difference of QOL of staffs between city and neighborhood county.Working at different departments was one of the influencing factors on psychological and social domains.Harmonious family relationship,good appetite,agreement to work competition,and confidence in working institutes were influencing factors to the total score of QOL.Conclusions: Scores of QOL of CDC staffs were relatively low with various influencing factors.It is necessary for leaders of related departments to take countermeasures to improve the QOL of CDC staffs.

Objective:To study acute toxicity of Xidan suspensions in mice.Methods:To measure the LD50 and to observe the response to machinery stimulation and the autonomic activity of the experimental animals when Xidan suspensions is taken orally into the mice.Results:The LD_(50) of Xidan suspensions is 148.08g(crude medicinal materials)/kg in the mice by ig.When it is taken orally(ig)into the mice at the dosage of LD_(50) or more [180g(crude medicinal materials)/kg],it is found that the response to machinery stimulation,the autonomic activity the muscle tone and the regulation of balance ability decreased obviously.Conclusion:It is indicated that Xidan suspensions could be toxic to the nervous system of mice.

Objective:To study anti-tumor activity of Xidan Suspensions in vivo.Methods: The mice were transported by armpit or intraperitoneum injection of H22,EC or P388 tumor cells.Results: Xidan Suspensions inhibited markedly the growth of H22,EC or P388 tumor cells(P

Objective:To study the role of AQP9 and its mRNA expression in the formation of ischemic cerebral edema in the rats.Methods:MCAO models were established by occluding unilateral middle cerebral artery(MCA) of the rats with the suture method.The morphological changes were observed with HE stain and transmission electron microscope(TEM).Brain water content(BWC) was measured by using wet-dry weighing method.The expression of AQP9 and its mRNA in the edema brain tissue were detected with in situ hybrilization(ISH) and immunohistochemistry(IHC).Results:The space around the neurons and perivascular space became larger.Some neurons showed necrosis phenotype,and the number of the neurogliocyte increased.The expression of AQP9 and its mRNA were up-regulated in subfornical organ(SFO)、choroid plexes、brain cortex、supraoptic nuclei、hippocampus and other regions,and reached its peak at 48~72h after MCAO.The brain water content(BWC) in ischemic cerebral tissue reached its peak at 72h.Conclusions:the expression of AQP9 and its mRNA were up-regulated following the brain edema.The results imply that AQP9 might play an important role in the formation of ischemic cerebral edema.

Objective:To investigate the protection mechanism of adenosine A1 receptor agonist(2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine, CCPA)delayed preconditioning for rabbit myocardium during ischemia reperfusion.Methods:Thirty New Zealand male white rabbits were randomly assigned to Sham group,I/R group and CCPA group,with ten in each.Group CCPA was given CCPA 0.1 mg/kg before myocardial ischemia.Twenty-four hours later the I/R and CCPA underwent 40 min of coronary occlusion followed by 2 h of reperfusion.Blood samples were taken from arterial line at 20 min before occlusion(T)1,20 min after occlusion(T2),40 min after occlusion(T)3,1 h after reperfusion(T)4and 2 h after reperfusion(T)5for determination of the plasma levels of IL-10.At the end of the reperfusion,infarct size(IS)and area at risk(AAR)were defined by Evans blue and TTC staining.The heart was harvested and levels of the HSP70 were determined by Western blot analysis,and ultrastructures were observed under the electron microscopy.Results:The IL-10 and HSP70 levels of group CCPA was higher than those of group I/R.The CCPA(P

Objective:To explore the efficiency of comprehensive sedation nursing in MRI examination to the epilepsy children underthe age of 4.Methods:180 children were randomly divided into the test group and the control group.The test group was given comprehensive sedation nursing,while the control group was only given the simple drug sedation by oral medicine called 10%chloral hydrate.The effective rate,the time children fell to sleep after given the drug and one-time success rate were recorded and analyzed between the two groups.Results:The effective rate,the time children fell to sleep after giving the drug and one-time success rate all have siganificant difference between these two groups(P

To create a novel kind of orthosis to correct the dysfunction of antebrachium, wrist, metacarpus and digit and to facilitate the protection and functional training after injury of forearm and hand. The orthosis is constituted of a cardinal shelf, a stem shelf of metacarpophalangeal joint, a front bracket, finger ferrules, elastic strings and steel wires. The cardinal shelf is composed of a backplate for dorsal palm and a bracket for wrist with a U-shaped rack fixed in front of it. Ferrules of index finger, middle finger and fourth finger and little finger are connected to the backplate on the cardinal shelf through elastic strings. The thumb ferrule is set outside the ferrule of index finger on the backplate with steel wires. Another ferrule that is used to enclose the wrist and antebrachium is linked to the crossbar of the U-shaped rack through elastic strings. This orthosis plays an effective role in the protection of nerves, tendons, extremity of vascular anastomosis and the prevention of allotopia after fracture due to different trainings. It can improve the range of motion of wrist joint, metacarpophalangeal joint, and articulationes interphalangeae and strengthen the muscle power of pronator teres, pronator quadratus, supinator, wrist extensor, wrist flexor, extensor digitoium, perforans manus and musculus flexor digitorum sublimes. This orthosis could be applied for patients after the operation of antebrachium,wrist and manus to promote the recovery of their functions.

Recent advances in carbohydrate metabolism in cancer stem cells were obtained by analyzing the key words in relation with carbohydrate metabolism in cancer stem cells, which are covered in cluster-derived databases ( GoPubMed, XplorMed, AnneO'Tate, MEDSUM, PubReMiner) , with the basic strategies and use characteristics of these 5 databases compared, in order to provide the effective retrieval tools for embedded subject service in li-brary.

Objecitve To observe the relationship between the expressions of the estrogen receptor (ER),progestogen receptor (PR) and tumor infiltration and metastasis in thyroid cancer.Methods By using immunohistochemical method to study the relationship between the expressions of ER and PR in 100 cases of thyroid carcinamas and 28 cases of benign thyroid lesions.Results The positive rates of ER and RP expression were 67 0% and 62 0% respectively in thyroid carcinomas,it had correlation with well differentiation and type of histology but positive expression did not relate to age and sex.The positive rates of ER and PR in the non-metastasized group were 75 4% and 70 5% respectively;significantly higher than that of the metastasized group which were 53 8% and 48 7% respectively (P
