A comparison of the relationships between psychosocial factors,occupational strain,and work ability among 4 ethnic teacher groups in China

The present study compared the level of occupational strain and work ability among Han, Hui, Uygur, Hui, and Kazakh teachers, and explored ethnic differences based on the associations of psychosocial factors at work, occupational strain, and work ability. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,941 teachers in primary and secondary schools in Xinjiang Province, China. Psychosocial factors, occupational strain, and work ability were measured using the Occupation Stress Inventory—Revised Edition (OSI-R) and Work Ability Index. Han and Hui teachers experienced reduced work ability compared with Uygur and Kazakh teachers, and this finding was caused, in part, by exposure to psychosocial factors at work. The vocational and psychological strains caused by these factors play an important role in reduced work ability among all ethnic teacher groups. The findings indicate the importance of taking action to reduce occupational strain for promoting teachers' work ability in multiethnic workplaces.     

Increased IL-10/IL-17 ratio is aggravated along with the prognosis of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

ObjectiveThis study is to investigate the association between the Treg/Th17 cells and prognosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).MethodsTotally 50 CLL patients and 20 Health controls were included in this study. Regulatory T (Treg) cells and the cell subset secreting IL-17 (Th17) in peripheral blood were detected with flow cytometry. Serum levels of IL-10 and IL-17 were determined with ELISA, and expression of Foxp3 and RORγt was assessed with quantitative real-time PCR.ResultsTreg and Th17 cell proportions in peripheral blood in the CLL patients were significantly higher than control. Serum levels of IL-10 and IL-17, and expression of Foxp3 and RORγt, were significantly increased in the CLL patients. Ratios of Treg/Th17 and IL-10/IL-17 were significantly elevated in the CLL patients. Compared with those before treatment, Treg/Th17 and IL-10/IL-17 ratios were declined in the CLL patients in remission. Compared with the non-remission group, Treg cells were significantly decreased, while Th17 cells were significantly increased, resulting in decreased Treg/Th17 ratio, in the remission group. Moreover, the serum IL-10 level was significantly decreased, while the serum IL-17 level was significantly increased, resulting in declined IL-10/IL-17 ratio, in the remission group. Correlation analysis showed that, Treg and Th17 cell counts were significantly associated with CD38 and ZAP-70 expression in the CLL patients. Moreover, the IL-10/IL-17 ratio was also significantly associated with CLL prognostic factors.ConclusionAltered Treg/Th17 and IL-10/IL-17 ratios in CLL would be aggravated along with the disease progression, which might be used as indicators for the disease prognosis.     

8周基础军训对入伍新兵红细胞及其相关指标的影响

目的探讨8周基础军训(basic military training,BMT)对入伍新兵血像中红细胞及其相关指标的影响,为指导科学的军事训练提供参考。方法数据来自新疆边防部队2015年度入伍的50名男性新兵,分别在BMT前后测定并记录受试新兵的红细胞计数、血红蛋白浓度及血清铁蛋白等。结果经过8周的BMT,新兵血液中血红蛋白浓度、红细胞计数及血清铁蛋白均显著下降(P0.05,P0.01)。结论 8周BMT可能导致入伍新兵发生运动性贫血,铁缺乏可能是其主要原因。

高热惊厥214例临床分析

本文分析了214例高热惊厥,结果为:检出率4.35％;男女之比为1.61:1;好发年龄为6个月～6岁(93.5％);首发年龄为6个月～4岁(89.9％);惊厥发作时体温多在39℃以上(74.6％);惊厥发作多在发热后12h内(72.4％);每次热病中惊厥发作1～3次(99.5％);惊厥持续时间多在15min内(91.0％);致惊厥发作的热性疾病以上呼吸道感染为最多;214例中63例复发,其中2例转癫痫,61例尚未发现智力低下或其他异常。从2例转癫痫的临床及脑电图看,提示惊厥发作愈重,持续时间愈长,转癫痫的可能性愈大。     

4125例哈萨克族儿童斜视及弱视调查

本文对本地区五个县九所哈萨克族小学学生共计4125人进行了斜视、弱视的调查。调查对象全部为4—14岁哈萨克儿童。在受检儿童中发现斜视者48例,患病率为1.1％。外斜视32例占66.67％,内斜视16例占33.33％,斜视并有弱视者15例占31.25％。斜视而视力正常者33例占68.75％。在4125例受检儿童中发现弱视139例(209只眼),其患病率为3.37％,双眼弱视70例,单眼弱视69例,二者无显著差异。139例弱视中男性患者73例,女性患者66例,二者亦无差异。209例只弱视眼中轻度弱视84只眼占40.19％,中度弱视104只眼占49.76％,重度弱视21只眼共占10.05％。调查中笔者发现哈萨克族儿童弱视眼尤以屈光不正为多,209例眼中有106只为单纯性远视眼,因此笔者提出如何早期发现屈光不正并予以纠正将有可能防止许多弱视的发生。
