Objective:To understand the employment situation of graduates of public health-related majors and explore the associated factors of turnover intention among public health practitioners in China.Methods:In April 2020, the convenient sampling method was used to recruit public health related graduates from 98 universities with public health-related majors from 31 provinces in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) and from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (only including working or unemployed status, no requirement for graduation years). A total of 1 322 questionnaires were collected, of which 1 165 (88.1%) were valid. Through the network questionnaire survey, the information of public health graduates′ work situation, job satisfaction and turnover intention were collected. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the associated factors of turnover intention, and structural equation model was constructed to explore the correlation between turnover intention and job satisfaction.Results:The age of 1 165 graduates was (28.1 ±4.8) years. Among them, 719 (61.7%) were female and 856 (73.5%) graduates were engaged in public health-related work after graduation. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with those over 30 years old, graduates under 30 years old had higher turnover intention ( OR=2.531, 95% CI: 1.549-4.155). Compared with those with junior or no title, graduates with senior title had higher turnover intention ( OR=2.310, 95% CI: 1.047-5.162). The results of structural equation model analysis showed that the four factors of job satisfaction, ‘salary and welfare’, ‘promotion development’, ‘work itself’, and ‘internal and external environment’, were negatively correlated with turnover intention. The internal and external environment had the greatest impact on turnover intention (total effect =-0.539). Conclusion:Most graduates of public health-related majors are engaged in public health-related work in China. Age, professional title and job satisfaction are the associated factors of turnover intention.

Objective:To investigate the clinical data of asymptomatic patients with 2019 novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection in Shijiazhuang and provide scientific evidence for prevention and treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19).Methods:Retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical features and laboratory data of 9 asymptomatic 2019-nCoV infected patients, admitted to the Fifth Hospital of Shijiazhuang from January 21, 2020 to February 21, 2020.Results:Asymptomatic infection was found in all age groups, including 5 males and 4 females. On the first day of admission, the detection result of leukocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophils in asymptomatic patients were at normal levels. On the third day after admission, the results increased and continued to stabilize on the twelfth day. The levels of alanine aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase were at normal levels during hospitalization, without transient increase or decrease. The level of C-reactive protein reached the highest level on the third day after admission, but it was always in the normal range. D-dimer level was relatively stable during hospitalization. The absolute value of T cell subsets showed that the levels of CD 3+ , CD 4+ , CD 8+ T cells in asymptomatic infection patients were higher than those determined before admission. The average duration of pharyngeal nucleic acid positive detection in asymptomatic patients was 11.88 days. The average cycle threshold of ORF1ab gene and N gene was 36.94 and 35.43 respectively. Conclusions:The inflammatory reaction in patients with asymptomatic 2019-nCoV infection was mild, and the immune function was relatively good.

Objective:To investigate public health-related professions' recruit requirements and understand the training scheme for preventive medicine-majored undergraduates in colleges and universities in China.Methods:An online questionnaire was adopted to collect data on the recruit requirements of public health-related professions. Information on the core courses, internship, and practical training for preventive medicine-majored undergraduates was collected through universities' official websites.Results:The employers had a high requirement for education and specific majors. Also, administration professions attached importance to comprehensive quality, while professional positions to professional skills. 47.2% (67/142) employers made Talent Introduction Programs for the next three years. 20.0% (3/15) universities offered all the core courses required by national standards. For internship and practical training, both clinical practice and professional practice's median durations were 16 and 11 weeks, respectively.Conclusion:Employers showed significant demand for public health graduates and having a high requirement for personal ability and comprehensive quality. The universities should improve the setting of core courses and strengthen students' practical ability and overall quality.

Objective:To understand the basic qualities, practitioners will and related influences, of undergraduate, master, and doctoral students majoring in public health (hereinafter referred to as public health students), and explore the influencing factors of practitioners will.Methods:Through the online questionnaire survey, we collected information on the basic qualities of the public health students, their practitioners will and related influencing factors, and their opinions on the current state of public health in China. χ 2 test and multi-factor logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of public health students' willingness to engage in public health related work, and word frequency analysis was used to conduct a descriptive analysis of public health students' views on public health in China. Results:A total of 2 081 pieces of valid information were collected, of which 86.54% (1 801/2 081) of the students in the school chose to engage in public health related work in the future. For public health students, the higher the target after-tax monthly income ( OR=0.345, 95% CI: 0.158-0.751), the lower the willingness to engage in public health related work in the future; Very satisfied with school employment guidance work ( OR=4.072, 95% CI: 1.234-13.436) compared with very dissatisfied, the willingness to engage in public health related work in the future is higher. Conclusion:The willingness of students in public health related majors to engage in public health related majors in China is mainly affected by three factors: payment levels, employment guidance and professional post recognition. It is recommended to appropriately raise the salaries of public health related positions. Strengthening school employment guidance training and professional identity training is conducive to enhancing the willingness of public health students to engage in relevant work in their profession.

Objective To observe potential effect of radon hot springs on the changes of cell cycle and its regulatory proteins of CDK1,CDK2,CDK4,CDK6,CyclinD1,CyclinE1,WEE1,CDC25A in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of residents.Methods A random sampling method was used to persons 46 persons from the residents around radon hot spring in Wentang town,and 39 persons were selected from the control area without radon exposure.Flow cytometry was used to detect the changes of cell cycle and the expressions of cell cycle-related regulatory proteins.Multiple linear regression method was used to analyze the relationship between the expressions of cell cycle regulatory proteins and radon exposure.Results The percentages of cells at G0/G1 phase and S phase in lymphocytes were different in the two groups (t =2.250,-2.382,P < 0.05).The expression levels of CDK1,CDK6 and CyclinE1 in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of radon hot spring group were significantly decreased (t =4.770,11.419,5.238,P < 0.05) and negatively correlated with radon exposure (t =-5.097,-11.128,-5.117,P <0.05).The expression levels of CDK2,CDK4,CyclinD1,WEE1 and CDC25A in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of radon hot spring group were increased but not significantly(P > 0.05).Conclusions The incidences of a higher ratio of S-phase cells and lower expression levels of CDK1,CDK6 and CyclinE1 in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of residents in Wentang town may be related to long-term radon exposure.
