Medical service products have a lot of features, such as differences, intangibility and difficulty in evaluating, which greatly increase the difficulty in the transition of customer development from customers to service experiencers. Customer transition is mainly based on the pre-evaluation of service providers. In other words, credence evaluation of service providers is conducted from the combination of information from service providers, customers and self-awareness. When the results of the evaluation are dependable, customers will be under the transition. This article was based on the differences in customer cognition and experience background. It set the group that had never received TCM services as objects and conducted analysis on customer development. It established measurement indexes and questionnaire for customer pre-evaluation. PCA and Logistic regression analysis were used to deeply deal with data to unveil the key factors that influence credence evaluation. Credence mechanism was established according to the results to promote customer development in TCM service consumption.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal compartment syn-drome (ACS)aftergiantabdominal incisional hernia surgery.Methods The diagnosis and treatment of eight cases of ACS after giantabdominal incisional hernia surgery in our hospital from June 201 0 to June 201 4 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Seven cases of ACS were cured,with a cure rate of 87.5%. One case with chronic pulmonary heart diseasedied ofsevere lung infection caused by ARDS,with a mor-tality of 1 2.5%.The cured patients discharged and werefollowedup for threeto six months,without any signs of recurrence and organ dysfunction.Conclusion Abdominal compartment syndrome is a serious complication aftergiantabdominal incisional hernia surgery,with treatment difficult and high mortality.The keysinreducingmortalityare early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment.

Objective To study the effect of autonomic nerve activity on emotion experience.Methods 71 healthy males were asked to see a neutral film STICK and conduct a computer game,then evaluated emotion experience.All participants were recorded skip temperature,skin conduction,heart rate,LF and HF during baseline and game periods.Results (1) There was significant difference in fear experience among high,middle and low synchronous groups (2.64 ± 2.05,2.50 ± 2.01,4.46 ± 2.41; P< 0.01),and low synchronous group was significantly higher than high synchronous group (P < 0.01).The main effects of three periods were significant in basis of three response types of autonomic nerve activity(skin conduction:F(2.68) =76.083,P<0.01; heart rate:F(2.68) =71.692,P < 0.01),and skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate were no significant difference among three response types.Types and periods had no significant interaction.(2) Different response modes of autonomic nervous system has different distributions in high fear and low fear groups (x2 =9.763,P < 0.01).Skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate were no significant difference between high fear group and low fear group.Conclusion The modes of autonomic nervous system have an effect on intensity of fear experience,but not the same in skip temperature,skin conduction and heart rate.

Spontaneous miscarriage is the most common complication of the first trimester,among which 90% are early miscarriage that occurs prior to the 12th week of the gestation.Low progesterone level may be the main cause of the early miscarriage.This article discusses the incidence,pathogenesis,progesterone treatment,and prediction marker of early miscarriage to provide clues for the clinical work.

Objective To investigate the expression of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E(eIF4E) ,vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‐A and VEGF‐C in gastric cancer tissues and their correlation with invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma .Methods The expressions of eIF4E ,VEGF‐A and VEGF‐C were detected in tissues of 58 gastric carcinomas and 25 normal gastric mucosa by using immunohistochemical method .Results The positive rate of eIF4E、VEGF‐A and VEGF‐C protein expression were 89 .7%(52/58) ,65 .5% (38/58) ,60 .3% (35/58) in gastric carcinoma ,which were higher than those in normal gastric mucosa tissues which were 4 .0% (1/25) ,12 .0% (3/25) ,8 .0% (2/25) respectively .Expressions of eIF4E ,VEGF‐A and VEGF‐C were significantly correlated with the depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis(P<0 .05) ,but not with the age ,sex of patients(P>0 .05) .Ex‐pressions of eIF4E and VEGF‐C were significantly correlated with tumor differentiation .The expression of eIF4E was being found positively correlated with VEGF‐A and VEGF‐C .Conclusion eIF4E may play certain roles in the oncogenesis and progression of gastric carcinoma .VEGF‐A and VEGF‐C may be helpful in lymph metastasis .Combined detection of eIF4E ,VEGF‐A and VEGF‐C may be helpful to assess the malignant degree and prognosis of gastric carcinoma .

Objective To detect plasma progranulin (PGRN) level in subjects with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus and to investigate the relationship of plasma PGRN level with glycolipid metabolism,inflammation,and insulin resistance.Methods Eighty patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and 88 subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) were recruited in the study.Both of them were divided into normal weight (NW)subgroup and obesity (OB) subgroup.Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2 according to the World Health Organization-Western Pacific Region diagnostic criteria(2000).Body fat parameters were measured and BMI,waist-to-hip ratio were determined.Fasting plasma PGRN and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were determined by ELISA,fasting plasma glucose (FPG),2 h plasma glucose after glucose loading (2hPG),HbA1C,fasting insulin (FINS),and lipids were also detected.Insulin resistance and pancreas β cell function were assessed by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR,HOMA-β).Results Plasma PGRN level was significantly higher in T2DM group than that in NGT group(P<0.01).Within groups of T2DM and NGT,plasma PGRN level in OB subgroups was higher than that in NW subgroups [(225.22 ± 34.39 vs 195.59 ± 50.47 and 183.79 ± 61.63 vs 148.69 ± 55.27) ng/ml,P<0.05].Bivariate correlation analysis showed that plasma PGRN level was positively correlated with weight,waist circumference,BMI,systolic blood pressure,FPG,2hPG,HbA1C,triglyceride(TG),IL-6,FINS,and HOMA-IR (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and was negatively correlated with HOMA-β (P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that BMI,HbA1C,IL-6,and TG were independently related to plasma PGRN level(P<0.05).Conclusions Plasma PGRN level was increased in patients with type 2 diabetes as well as in obesity,and was closely related with glycolipid metabolism,inflammation,and insulin resistance.

Objective To explore the relationship between the women menopausal period and metabolic syndrome (MS) .Meth-ods The female residents of Chongqing urban areas above 40 years were selected as the investigation group ,all the subjects were performed the questionnaire survey and the physical examination ,at the same time the biochemical indexes were detected .Finally , 1402 women of natural menopause were included in this study .The study subjects were divided into different groups according to the menopausal period of <5 years ,5- <10 years ,10- <15 years and ≥15 years .The Logistic regression analysis was adopted to analyze the relationship between the menopausal period with MS and its components .Results The MS prevalence in this group was 40 .87% ,and the menopausal period of the women with MS was significantly higher than that without MS (P<0 .05) .The MS prevalences of postmenopausal women in the menopause period of <5 years ,5 - <10 years ,10 - <15 years and ≥15 years were 29 .37% ,34 .29% ,45 .30% and 49 .13% respectively (P<0 .05) .After adjustment for age and BMI (except central obesity ) ,the MS risk in the menopausal period of 10- <15 years and was 1 .54 times of that in the menopausal period of <5 years .The Logis-tic regression analysis showed that BMI and menopausal period were the influence factors of MS .Conclusion Post-menopausal women are the high-risk group of MS and the menopausal period is correlated to MS .
