Background The mental health problems of employees in administrative organs and public institutions are highly valued.However,there is a lack of understanding regarding the mental health status of employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region.Objective To analyze the anxiety and depression of employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region,so as to provide references for promoting their mental health and intervening in psychological problems.Methods From October 23 to 28,2022,a total of 3 096 employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region were enrolled using stratified cluster sampling technique,and were assessed using Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS).Results A total of 1797(58.04％)employees in municipal and above administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region completed a valid questionnaire survey.Depressive symptoms were noted in 579(32.22％).SDS scores yielded statistical difference among the selected employees of different ethnicities,types of job positions and educational levels(F=9.074,101.488,4.477,P<0.01),and the severity of depressive symptoms also demonstrated statistical difference among the selected employees with different ethnicities,educational levels and types of job positions(H=49.196,17.028,160.848,P<0.01).Anxiety symptoms were detected in 711(39.57％)employees.SAS scores exhibited statistical difference among the employees with different genders,ages,ethnicities,educational levels,marital status and types of job positions(t=-4.571,F=6.648,3.950,5.243,12.008,22.253,P<0.01).Statistical differences were also illustrated in the severity of anxiety symptoms among the selected employees with different ages,genders,ethnicities,educational levels,marital status and types of job positions(H=24.361,-3.788,28.365,24.268,25.976,56.204,P<0.01).Conclusion About one-third of employees in municipal and above administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region may have symptoms of depression and anxiety.The depression symptoms are more severe among Tibetan people,those with low education levels and ordinary civil servants.The anxiety symptoms are more severe among employees aged 30 and below,those with low education levels,unmarried and those in technical positions.

Objective To explore the relationship between the liver volume atrophy rate,liver stiffness measurements(LSM) and Child-Turcotte-Pugh(CTP) value with the Laennec histopathological classification in the patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and its value in the quantitative diagnosis of liver cirrhosis degree.Methods The clinicopathological data of liver biopsy tissue pathological slides,FibroScan,CT examination and hematological detection in 32 cases of hepatitis B cirrhosis were retrospectively analyzed.Liver cirrhosis was divided into mild,moderate and severe according to the Laennec liver cirrhosis histopathological classification.Then the relationship between the liver volume atrophy rate,LSM and CTP score with liver cirrhosis histopathological.Results Among 32 cases,9 cases(28.12％) were mild,12 cases(37.50％) were moderate and 11 cases(34.38％) were severe.The liver volume atrophy rates of mild,moderate and severe groups were (16.75±2.20)％,(23.11±6.67)％ and(35.55±5.70)％ respectively;LSM were(14.96±3.36),(20.21± 3.07),(37.03 ± 16.44) kPa respectively,the difference among 3 groups was statistically significant (P＜ 0.01).The CTP scores had no statistical difference among the 3 groups were(P＞0.05).The cirrhosis histopathological grade had the positive correlation with the liver volume atrophy rate and LSM(r=0.93,0.74,P＜0.01),however had no obvious correlation with the CTP scores(r=0.27,P＞0.05);the liver volume atrophy rate was positively correlated with LSM and CTP score(r=0.90,0.91,P＜0.01);while LSM had no obvious correlation with CTP score (r =0.15,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The more severe the cirrhosis histoathological grade,the bigger the liver volume atrophy rate and the higher the FibroScan detection value;the liver volume atrophy rate and LSM may serve as the quantitative diagnosis indicators of liver fibrosis histopathological severity.

Accurate determination of biological activity is essential in quality control of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP). In previous study, we successfully developed a genetically modified cell line 293GCAC3-based ELISA assay for rhBNP. But ELISA procedure is still tedious, so this study was aimed to develop a rapid and simple bioassay for rhBNP using GloSensor technology, which provides a platform of flexible luciferase-based biosensors for real-time detection of signaling events in live cells, including cGMP production. A reporter cell line 293GCAGlo-G1 was constructed by transfecting pGloSensor?40 F plasmid into 293GCAC3. The reporter assay based on 293GCAGlo-G1 showed high precision with intra-assay CV being 8.3% and inter-assay CV being 14.1%; high accuracy with 80%, 100% and 120% recovery rate being 99.2%, 102.4% and 99.0% respectively; and great linearity with R2of linear fitting equation being 0.99. Besides, no significant difference was found in test results of reporter assay and 293GCAC3-based ELISA assay (paired t test, p＝0.630). All these results suggested that the reporter assay was a viable assay for biological determination of rhBNP.

Objective To explore the role of serum inflammatory factors in prediction of infection following internal fixation of closed fractures and its significance for surgical timing and infection prophylaxis.Methods A retrospective study was conducted of the 100 patients who had been treated by internal fixation for closed fracture from January 2014 through July 2016.They were 52 men and 48 women,aged from 24 to 76 years (average,45 years).There were 14 femoral fractures,19 tibial plateau fractures,25 patella fractures,8 pilon fractures,22 tibiofibular shaft fractures,and 12 calcaneal fractures.Of them,21 were inflicted by wound infection.The preoperative and postoperative infection indexes,CRP,ESR,PCT and leukocyte count,were recorded.Logistic regression analysis was conducted to test the correlation between the infection indexes and postoperative infection.The optimal cut-off value was determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results CRP showed a significant correlation with postoperative infection while other indexes did not.The optimal cut-off value was 25 mg/L at one day before operation.Conclusions Preoperative determination of CRP may predict the risk of postoperative infection.CRP ＞ 25 mg/L at one day before operation may indicate the following day is not suitable for surgery and active infection prophylaxis should be conducted after surgery.

Objective To explore the effect of topical application of sodium hyaluronate on preventing perivascular adhesion of the vein grafts in rabbits. Methods Thirty-six male New Zealand white rabbits, aged 5 months, were randomly and equally divided into 2 groups: groups A and B. Arterial defect model was established by cutting about 1cm artery from the middle part of the dissected left common carotid artery. A section about 3cm was cut from the right external jugular vein, and the harvested vein was inverted and anastomosed end-to-end to the artery defect. After the anastomosis, the adventitia and two anastomoses of the grafted veins in group A were coated locally with 0.2ml sodium hyaluronate. The grafted veins were obtained 1, 2 and 4 weeks after the operation, with the perivascular adhesion of the vein grafts being examined macroscopically before the resection. HE staining and Masson staining were preformed for histological changes of grafted vein wall and the perivascular adhesion of the vein grafts. At 2, 4 weeks postoperation, the perivascular adhesions of the vein grafts were graded by the grading criteria of adhesion in macroscopic evaluation and histological evaluation. Result At 1, 2 and 4 weeks postoperatively, the macroscopic and histological observation found that the perivascular adhesions in group A were looser than those in group B. The macroscopic grade and histological grade were lower in group A than in group B, there was a significant difference between the two groups at 2 and 4 weeks postoperation (P<0.05). Conclusion Topical application of sodium hyaluronate can reduce the perivascular adhesion and is an ideal treatment strategy for preventing perivascular adhesion of vein grafts.

Objective: To explore the in vitro inhibition effect of Zuojin pills on 6 cytochrome P450 isoenzymes ( CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4) in human liver microsomes. Methods:The water extract of Zuojin pills, Cop-tidis Rhizoma and Euodiae Fructus was respectively incubated with human liver microsomes in the presence of seven probe substrates of CYP450 isoenzymes, and seven metabolites of cytochrome P450 probe substrate ( paracetamol/CYP1A2, 6α-hydroxypaclitaxel/CYP2C8, 4-hydroxydiclofenac/CYP2C9, 4-hydroxymephenytoin/CYP2C19, dextrorphan/CYP2D6, 6β-hydroxytestosterone/CYP3A4 and 1-hydroxymidazolam/CYP3A4) were simultaneously measured by LC-MS/MS, and the inhibitory effects were evaluated with IC50 value. Results:The IC50 value of Zuojin pills on CYP2D6, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4_T was 11. 6, 77. 4 and 97. 0 μg·ml-1 , respec-tively. The other IC50 values were from 334 to 690μg·ml-1 on CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4_M isoenzymes. The IC50 value of Coptidis Rhizoma on CYP2D6, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4_T was 5. 8, 36. 8 and 59. 2 μg·ml-1 , respectively. The other IC50 values were from 163 to 476 μg·ml-1 on CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4_M isoenzymes. The IC50 value of Euodiae Fructus on CYPs was over 107 μg·ml-1 . Conclusion:Zuojin pills shows notable inhibitory effect on CYP2D6, and weak inhibitory effects on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4_T. Coptidis Rhizoma has similar effects on CYPs and may be the main herbal medicine in the formu-la. Therefore, much attention should be paid to the combination of Zuojin pills and the drugs metabolized by human CYP2D6 in clin-ics.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the quantitative analysis based on three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) in contouring surgery of complex craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (FD).

METHODS14 patients with craniofacial FD underwent 3D-CT scan. Axial images of patients with craniofacial FD were reconstructed into 3D model by using Mimics 10.0. Anatomical landmarks were located and the coordinate of the landmarks obtained. The differences between the right landmarks and the left were calculated and analyzed. Quantitative contouring surgery was performed based on the quantitative analysis result.

RESULTSWith the detail data from the 3D-CT analysis, the surgery of contouring was more safe and accurate with less operation time, less bleeding and good results.

CONCLUSIONSThe method of 3D CT quantitative analysis can provide precise information in the diagnosis and treatment planning of craniofacial deformity. Based on the result of 3D-CT quantitative analysis, the operations can be performed more accurately and safely with good symmetric consequence.

The osmolality of more than 90% of the batches was between 85% and 115% of the intermediate value set by the manufacturers. Conclusion:Comprehensive understanding of the quality control of osmolality of domestic recombinant human interferon α2b injection is obtained, which provides data support for the improvement of quality standard of osmolality.

Objective The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between hypertriglyceridemic-waist(HTWC) phenotype and clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 3 136 Han adolescents aged 13-17 years in Qinhuangdao. The HTWC phenotype was defined as serum triglyceride concentrations ≥1. 47 mmol/ L and waist circumference ≥90 th percentile for age and sex. Results The prevalence of HTWC phenotype was 3. 3% . The prevalence of clustering of cardiovascular risk factors was 0. 4%in adolescents with normal waist circumference and serum triglyceride and 14. 7% in adolescents with HTWC phenotype. After adjustment for sex, age, body mass index, and family history of diabetes and hypertension, the prevalence of clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in adolescents with HTWC phenotype was 9. 286 fold(95% CI 3. 161-27. 282, P<0. 01) of that in adolescents with normal waist circumference and triglyceride. Conclusion There was a significant correlation between HTWC phenotype and clustering of cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting that this phenotype may be applied as a simple marker for identifying adolescents with clustering of cardiovascular risk factors.

The study aims to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from 5 manufacturers. By testing molecular mass and trypsin-digested peptide mass mapping, the amino acid sequence was verified and post-translational modifications such as disulfide bond were identified. Results show that the molecular mass and amino acid sequence were consistent with theory; the disulfide bonds of 4 lots of interferon were Cys1-Cys98/Cys29-Cys138, 1 lot was Cys29-Cys139/Cys86-Cys99; N-terminal "+Met", acetyl N-terminal and Met oxidation were identified in part of the sample. UPLC-MS can be used to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from different manufacturers.
