1.ERG theory in analysis of work satisfaction of nurses in general hospitals
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2009;25(10):702-706
Objective Investigation of satisfaction of clinical nurses and analysis of the influence factors.Methods The ERG theory of Clayton Alderfer is used as the framework to design the questionnaires,for questionnaire investigation of 249 nurses in the hospital in a stratified sampling,Results The score of general satisfaction of nurses for their work is 3.40±0.58;the satisfaction of nurses for the management of their leaders and teamwork is high,as the satisfaction scores are 4.01±0.76 and 3.60±0.71 respectively;their satisfaction for salary,welfare and social identity is low,as the scores are 2.46±0.86 and 2.50±1.02 respectively.Work satisfaction varies with departments,academic levels,monthly income,work shifts,age,seniority,and objectives for their choice of nursing as profession.Conclusion Managers are prompted to enhance their work in view of the satisfaction scores on survival,mutual relations and growth,as well as factors affecting satisfaction,and take various incentives to improve overall satisfaction of nurses.
2.Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors and tumor therapy
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(8):576-579
Mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) inhibitors have the anti-tumor ettect,which have been known early.The traditional mTOR inhibitors include rapamycin and its derivatives,which have been applied in clinical use early.Nowadays,some new small molecule inhibitors such as the PI3K/mTOR duel inhibitor,Torinl,one after another are found to play a unique role in the tumor therapy.

[Objective] To gain more insight into the presentation,diagnosis of Bertolotti's syndrome and to investigate the indications,the procedure and the early clinical results of minimally invasive transverse process plasty.[Methods]Thirteen cases(Santavirta Type I)with Bertolotti's syndrome underwent minimally invasive transverse process plasty under MED X-tube(Medtronic Sofamor)from Apr.2006 to Dec.2008.The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),Modified Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)score and subjective sensation of patients were recorded to evaluate the function.[Results]The operation blood loss was from 120 ml to 800 ml and operative time was from 60 to 280 minutes,average 115minutes.There was no severe complication.Nine cases were followed up for 10 to18 months,average 13.6 months.The VAS decreased from(6.7?2.2)before operation to(2.2?0.7)one week after operation and(2.8?0.9)three months after operation.ODI score decreased from(27.8?3.6)before operation to(5.9?2.2)three months after operation.The results were excellent in 10 case and good in 3 cases.[Conclusion]Minimally invasive transverse process plasty is an effective method for Bertolotti's syndrome,especially for Santavirta type I.It shows less blood loss and injury and deserves to be spreaded.Disectomy is recommended in one stage if the patient is complicated with disc herniation.
6.MYO minisatellite DNA probe and sub—cloning of MYO fragment
Chinese Journal of Immunology 1985;0(01):-
The initial study of the tumour DNA fingerprints using MYO minisatellite DNA probe wascarried out,and then,by means of DNA recombinant techniques,the fragment of MYO min-isatellite DNA probe obtained from plasmid pUC19-MYO was inserted into plasmid pGEM-4Z containing RNA polymerase promotor,thus a sub-clone refferred as pGEM-4Z-MYOwas constucted.That made an offer of the conditions of preparing RNA probe in order to in-cerase the sensitivities of DNA fingerprinting and laid a foundation for raised the efficiency of de-tecting the polymorphism of the minisatellite DNA.

objective: To study the effects of BMP on the growth of osteosarcoma cells. Methods: Human antisense BMP2 retrovirus expression vector was constructed and transfected into human osteosarcoma OS 9901 cells by Lipofect AMINE. Positive cell clones were selected with G 418. The expression of BMP and PCNA were determined by immunohistochemical methods, image analysis and expressed as grey level. The morphology and cell cycle distribution of the cells were studied by electronmicroscope and flowcytometry respectively. Results:The grey levels of BMP and PCNA in the transfected cells were 198.4?8.51 and 197.3?3.22, those of the control were 135.1?12.32 and 142.9?8.47,respectively. G 1, G 2 and S phase cells were 51.9%,18.2% and 22.7% in the cell cycle of transfected cells, while those of the control were 52.8%,11.1% and 36.1%, respectively.Increased lysosome and small pieces of chromatin were observed in the transfected cells under electronmicroscope. Conclusion:Transfection of antisense BMP2 may inhibite the expression of BMP and proliferating activity of osteosarcoma cells.

Objective To investigate effect of urinary conditions and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients before and after the reconstructive pelvic surgery (RPS) for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) as well as effect of urinary conditions and LUTS by tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O).Methods From Jan. 2007 to Dec. 2009, 213 patients with POP underwent RPS, the factors on preoperative, postoperative urinary conditions and qualities of life and postoperative urinary incontinence were studied prospectively. Results Totally 193 patients who was followed up for more than 3 months after surgery attend questionnaires, and 165 preoperative patients of 193 (85.5%) had LUTS, 105 postoperative patients of 193 (54.4%) had LUTS, which reached statistical difference (P <0. 01 ). The rate of LUTS before and after operation: urinary frequency ( 57.0% and 25.9% ), urinary urgency ( 51.8% and 28.0% ), urinary leakage due to cough ( 50. 3% and 15.0% ), dropping urinary leakage ( 44. 6% and 14. 5% ), dysuria (34. 7% and 23.3% ), vesicaltenesmus (49.2% and 19. 7% ) and hand assist urination (31.1% and 2.6% ). The incidence of LUTS after surgery is much lower than that of pre-operation ( P <0. 05 ). POP patients with stress urinary incontinence ( SUI ) before the operation, surgery without TVT-O simultaneously are the risk factors of unimproved symptom ( OR = 4. 933, 95% CI: 1. 353 - 17. 990, P=0. 016). Conclusions RPS have alleviated LUTS in patients with POP. RPS with TVT-O are more effective than traditional RPS in treatment of the urinary incontinence if the POP patient with SUI or occult SUI.

In recent years,research on autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) has gained significant progress.AIP is a special type of chronic pancreatitis which is mediated by an autoimmune mechanism.It is characterized by the infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells leading to pancreatic fibrosis and dysfunction.AIP can affect the bile ducts,salivary glands,kidneys and other organs outside the pancreas.The common manifestations include obstructive jaundice,abdominal pain,and weight loss,which are similar to pancreatic cancer.Steroid therapy is of significant effect.There is no consensus nowadays on the diagnostic criteria of AIP across the world.There are many studies on the pathological subtypes,imaging,serological markers and biopsy techniques on AIP,and research focuses on the differential diagnosis from pancreatic cancer.

Objective To evaluate the actual displacement of a femoral neck fracture following close reduction under the C-arm X-ray perspective.Methods From June, 2006 to June, 2009, we managed 12 patients with femoral neck fracture by open reduction and internal fixation.They were 8 males and 4 females, aged from 23 to 65 (average, 42.3) years old.We tried close reduction of their fractures under the C-arm X-ray perspective before a temporary fixation.Next we performed open reduction, readjusted the fracture ends, and placed internal fixation.The actual displacement of the fracture measured after open reduction was carefully compared with the close reduction under the X-ray perspective.Results A substantial displacement was found after open reduction in 7 patients who had achieved anatomic reduction under the X-ray perspective.In the other 5 patients who presented with a slight displacement after close reduction under X-ray perspective, the actual displacements were larger than the X-ray observations but completely reduced after open reduction.The actual measurements after open reduction were significantly larger (3.21 ± 0.96 mm on average) in the anteroposterior displacement ( t = 11.540, P = 0.000), but insignificantly larger (0.58 ±0.93 mm on average) in the superior-inferior displacement ( t = 2.184, P = 0.346) than those after close reduction.Conclusions In general, anatomic reduction can not be achieved for a femoral neck fracture under the C-arm X-ray perspective.Consequently, open reduction may be better than close reduction in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in that improper reduction can block blood supply to the femoral neck and dissection of the capsula articularis coxae can improve blood supply as well as help decompression.
