Objective To establish a off-pump leukocyte depletion method in canines.Methods Twenty-one healthy adult mongrel dogs of both sexes, weighing 10-12 kg, were randomized into 2 groups: control group (group C, n = 9) and leukocyte depletion group (group LD, n = 12) . An extracorporeal leukocyte filtration end was constructed by aseptic puncture of the bilateral external jugular veins via a blood transfusion line and the leukocyte filter for extracorporeal leukocyte depletion. In group LD, blood was filtered with a MP-300 blood line and a SQ40S leucocyte depletion filter one end placed in the right external jugular vein (artery end) and the other end placed in the left external jugular vein (venous end). After heparin anticoagulation, a MP-300 blood line pump was used as the power. Blood was filtered at a rate of 75 ml/min and it was maintained for 60 min. The artery end was then closed, normal saline injected into the closed circuit, the remaining blood pumped into the body, and then the venous end closed. In group C, aseptic puncture of the bilateral external jugular veins was performed. Arterial blood samples were taken immediately before leukodepletion (baseline, T_0 ) , at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 min of leukodepletion (T_(1-6) , depletion period), and at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 120, 180 and 270 min after leukodepletion (T_(7-15) , recovery period) for determination of blood routine. MAP, HR, RBC.Plt and body temperature were recorded at T_0 , T_6 , T_(12) and T_(15) . Results There were no significant difference in MAP and RBC between the two groups ( P > 0.05 ) . HR, body temperature, and Plt were significantly lower in group LD than in group C (P < 0.05) .The leukocyte concentration was lower during depletion period in group LD than in group C ( P < 0.05) , while there was no significant difference in leukocyte concentration during recovery period between the two groups (P > 0.05 ). Conclusion The off-pump leukocyte depletion method is successfully established and has exact efficacy with less adverse effects in this study.

Objective To analyze the Oncomelania hupensis snail situation in schistosomiasis surveillance sites in Hubei Province from 2009 to 2014. Methods From 2009 to 2014,207 schistosomiasis endemic villages from 13 cities were selected as the surveillance sites in Hubei Province,where the surveillance of snail situation was performed,and the data about the in?dexes of snail situation during the 6 years were collected and analyzed statistically. Results From 2009 to 2014,totally 80 963.47 hm2 of snail areas were investigated,and 45 309.77 hm2 of area with snails as well as 364.93 hm2 of area with infected snails were found out,and 1 646 125 snails were captured. In the 207 surveillance sites,the density of living snails was reduced from 0.493 3 snail/0.1 m2 in 2009 to 0.339 3 snail/0.1 m2 in 2014,with a decline rate of 31.22%;the density of infected snails was reduced from 0.000 7 snail/0.1 m2 in 2009 to 0 in 2014;the infection rate of snails was reduced from 0.14%in 2009 to 0 in 2014. The infection rates of snails in the third?rank villages,endemic areas in inner embankment,ditch environment and weed environment were relatively higher. Conclusions The snail situation of Hubei Province has been declined steadily. However, the environment of snail breeding has not been changed completely. In order to consolidate the control achievements further ,the measures including mollusciciding and snail control projects should be strengthened.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the status of job burnout and the quality of life of factory staff and analyze the their relationship.
METHODSQuestionnaires were administered to investigate the status of job burnout and quality of life of all the staff in three randomly selected state factories, and then the methods of canonical correlation and hierarchical linear regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between job burnout and quality of life.
RESULTSJob burnout and quality of life were somewhat different among staff in factories of different demography character. Emotional exhaustion was negatively associated with mental component summary (MCS). The predictive variables of physical component summary (PCS) were age, educational attainment, emotional exhaustion and professional efficacy and the standard partial regression coefficients of the four variables were -0.101, 0.055, -0.294, -0.058 respectively (P < 0.05). Educational level positively predicted the physical component summary, whereas age, emotional exhaustion and professional efficacy predicted physical component summary negatively. The predictive variables of mental component summary were emotional exhaustion, cynicism and professional efficacy and the standard partial regression coefficients of the three scale of job burnout were -0.546, -0.075, -0.184 (P < 0.05). All the three scales of job burnout predicted the mental component summary negatively. The emotional exhaustion was the most predictive variable for both the physical component summary and the mental component summary.
CONCLUSIONJob burnout is the important risk factor of quality of life of factory staff, especially influencing the staff's metal health significantly.

Chondroitinase has been used as an important tool in the study of the structure, function and distribution of glycosaminoglycans for many years. Recently, the enzyme has been reported to be a potential enzyme for chemonucleolysis, an established treatment for intervertebral disc protrasion. In this paper, a chondroitinase had been purified from the culture supernatant of Aeromonas sobria YH311 using a simple purification procedure of ammonium sulfate precipitation, QAE-Sephadex A50 ion exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration. The immobilization of purified chondroitinase using sodium alginate or cellulose as carriers has also been studied. The chondroitinase obtained from Aeromonas sobria YH311 was purified 55-fold to 95.3% pure, the specific activity of the purified enzyme was 31.86u/mg and the yield was 37%. The molecular weight of chondroitinase from Aeromonas sobria YH311 was determined by SDS-PAGE to be 80kD, which was almost the same as those chondroitinase AC from Arthrobacter aurescens, Aeromonas liquefaciens and Flavobacterium heparinum. But its isoelectric point was 4.3 - 4.6, which was far lower than the microbial chondroitinase AC. After the immobilization on sodium alginate or cellulose, the properties of chondroitinase changed greatly. The optimum temperature and pH of the free enzyme were 50 degrees C and 7.0 respectively, and about 10% activity remained after heat treatment at 80 degrees C for 20 minutes, and 47% activity remained after two weeks storage at 4 degrees C. The chondroitinase immobilized on sodium alginate had the optimum temperature and pH of 40 degrees C and 7.0 respectively, about 50% activity remained after 80 degrees C heat treatment for 120 minutes and 50% remained after 30 days storage at 4 degrees C. The chondroitinase immobilized on cellulose had the optimum temperature and pH of 70 degrees C and 6.0 respectively, and more than 70% activity remained after heat treatment at 80 degrees C and 30 days storage at 4 degrees C. The yield of the immobilization was very low, with 18.56% for alginate and 18.86% for cellulose.
