Objective: Stress, coping and mental health of the different educational level groups, the different gender groups and the different ages groups were studied. Methods: Ss (N=4 745) of a group corporation evaluated their stress levels, ways of coping and mental health with a self-developed Social Stressor Questionnaire, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and SCL-90 scale. Results: The lower educated groups scored lowest in social stressor, positive coping (PC), negative coping (NC) and SCL-90.The higher educated groups scored highest in social stressor, PC and NC, Man scored higher in social stressor, PC and NC, but lower in SCL-90 than women. The younger groups scored higher in social stressor and SCL-90 than older group. Conclusion: The result showed the latter education can improve mental health.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of vertebral body venography in performance of percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP). Methods 92 patients with 124 vertebraes underwent PVP. Before injecting the bone cement, venography was performed with injection of nonionic contrast material into vertebral body. 124 vertebraes were classified into four groups according to the results of vebgrophy. Group A: no draining veins displayed; group B: draining veins appeared late; group C: draining veins appeared ahead of time; group D: draining veins appeared ahead of time, then intervention such as adjusting the puncture needle's position or gelatin sponge embolization of vein was performed to delay the appearance of veins. Results 94 of 124 vertebraes displayed draining veins. According to the results of vebgrophy, there're 30 vertebraes in group A, 25 in group B, 30 in group C, 39 in group D. Thirty-seven vertebraes demonstrated cement extravasation, cement entering vein was observed in sixteen vertebraes and two patients among them had pulmonary embolism. Venograms showed all correlative venous extravasation. Bone cement extravasation rate of each groups was 20.0%, 24.0%, 56.7% and 20.5% respectively. Moreover, extravasation rate of group C was higher than any other group. Pain reduction was observed in 88 of 92 patients after 30 days of the operation, the rate of pain relief was 95.7%. Conclusion Vertebral body venography could describe the velocity of venous blood flow within vertebral body and predict the direction of bone cement leaking to veins effectively, which could provid valuable information in takeing some measures to prevent bone cement leaking into veins. Vertebral body venography has very impotant clinical value in improving the safety and preventing complication of PVP.

Objective To study the ways,mechanism,indication,curative effect of " Basket" skill applied in the interventional therapy for intracranial aneurysm. Methods Intracranial aneurysm with 1 : 1 ≥ neck/body ≥ 1 : 2 ," 3 D coil" was used to form a basket in it;in that with 1:2 > neck/body,common "2D coil" was applied. And the following coils were applied with hydrocoil or fibered coil combined with common platinum coil to increase the embol-ism density. Results In 156 cases with 158 aneurysms,143 aneurysms were 100% embolized (90. 5% ) ;131 ca-ses discharged with GOS 5 score(84.0% ),and 2 cases died ( 1.3% ). Conclusion " Basket" skill can increase the embolization density in aneurysm,reducing the residual of the neck,getting embolizated fully and improving the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of fever burden in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients.Methods A retrospective analysis of 355 TBI patients admitted to the emergency department and intensive care unit from November 2010 to October 2012 was performed,and the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) was followed-up 6 months after the injury.The patients were divided into two groups according to the GOS:good outcome group (4 to 5) and poor outcome group (1 to 3).Relevant clinical findings were studied by statistical description,logistic regression analysis,Spearman correlation analysis and ROC curve analysis.Results Fever burden level was continuously increased with the decrease of GOS from score 5 to 2,except for score 1 of GOS,which was corresponding to a significant lower fever burden.There were significant differences in age,pupil reactivity,Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and fever burden between two groups (P < 0.05).Compared to the good outcome group,the poor outcome group was featured with more advanced average age (P =0.000),poorer pupil reactivity (P =0.000),lower GCS score (P =0.000) and higher fever burden level (P =0.000).Univariate logistic regression analysis suggested that age,GCS,pupil reactivity and fever burden level (OR 1.166,95% CI:1.117-1.217) were associatedwith poor outcome.The fever burden level and the other independent prognostic predictors as age,GCS and pupil reactivity were further included in the multivariate logistic regression model,and the adjusted OR of fever burden level was 1.098 (95% CI:1.031-1.169,P =0.003).ROC curve analysis showed the respective AUC for fever burden was 0.713 (95% CI:0.663-0.760).The relevant analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between the fever burden and the GOS score (r =-0.376,95% CI:-0.462--0.283,P =0.000).Conclusions Fever burden can be considered as an independent predictor of poor outcome of patients with TBI.The TBI patients with early onset of high levels of fever burden will have increased poor outcome risk.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)inhibitor SP600125 against acute liver failure in mice.Methods Fifty-five male C57/BL6 mice were divided into control group (n =30) and SP600125 group (n =25).The animals were given an intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine (D-GalN,400 mg/kg body weight)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS,30 μg/kg body weight).The control group and SP600125 group were given 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (15 mL/kg body weight) or SP600125 (75 mg/kg body weight) subcutaneously 12 h and 1 h before D-GalN/LPS administration,respectively.D GalN/LPS induced mouse JNK activation was detected by immunohistochemistry for phospho JNK (p-JNK).D-GalN/LPS induced mouse liver cell apoptosis was detected by immunohistochemistry for Caspase-3 and TdT-mediated-dUTP nick endlabeling (TUNEL).Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) level was tested to assess liver injury.Survival rate of mice within 24 h after D-GalN/LPS administration was observed.The comparison between groups was done by t test and survival rate was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.Results JNK activity in liver tissues,as indicated by observation of p-JNK positive cells by immunohistochemistry,was diminished 4 h after D-GalN/LPS administration in SP600125 group.Reduced Caspase-3 activity was observed 6 h after D-GalN/LPS administration in SP600125 group (as indicated in immunohistochemistry by Caspase-3 positive cells).Mice in SP600125 group showed significantly lower TUNEL-positive cell count than control group (43.0±24.5 vs 194.7±73.8; t=9.743,P=0.000).Serum ALT level 6 h after D-GalN/LPS administration was (24.0±54.7) U/L in SP600125 group,which was significantly lower than that in control group [(1234.4±478.4) U/L; t=4.734,P=0.0015].SP600125 also significantly improved the survival rate within 24 h after D-GalN/LPS administration (4/5 vs 1/10; x2=5.225,P=0.0223).Conclusions JNK inhibitor SP600125 exerts protective effects against D-GalN/LPS induced acute liver failure in mice by suppressing JNK activation and hepatocyte apoptosis.
