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.     

Comparison between a new platelet count drop method PL-11, light transmission aggregometry,VerifyNow aspirin system and thromboelastography for monitoring short-term aspirin effects in healthy individuals

Platelet function has been described by many laboratory assays, and PL-11 is a new point-of-care platelet function analyzer based on platelet count drop method, which counts platelet before and after the addition of agonists in the citrated whole blood samples. The present study sought to compare PL-11 with other three major more established assays, light transmission aggregometry (LTA), VerifyNow? aspirin system and thromboelastography (TEG), for monitoring the short-term aspirin responses in healthy individuals. Ten healthy young men took 100?mg/d aspirin for 3-day treatment. Platelet function was measured via PL-11, LTA, VerifyNow and TEG, respectively. The blood samples were collected at baseline, 2 hour, 1 day during the aspirin treatment and 1 day, 5?±?1 days, 8?±?1 days after the aspirin withdrawal. Moreover, 90 additional healthy subjects were recruited to establish a reference range for PL-11. Platelet function of healthy subjects decreased significantly 2 hours after 100?mg/d aspirin intake and began to recover during 4–6 days after the aspirin withdrawal. Correlations between methods were PL-11 vs. LTA (r?=?0.614, p?<?0.01); PL-11 vs. VerifyNow (r?=?0.829, p?<?0.01); PL-11 vs. TEG (r?=?0.697, p?<?0.001). There was no significant bias between PL-11 and LTA at baseline (bias?=?1.94%, p?=?0.804) using Bland-Altman analysis, while the data of PL-11 were significantly higher than LTA (bias?=?24.02%, p?<?0.001) during the aspirin therapy. The reference range for PL-11 in healthy young individuals was from 66.8 to 90.5% (95%CI). When aspirin low-responsiveness was defined as LTA?>?20%, the cut-off values for each method were, respectively: PL-11?>?50%, VerifyNow?>?533 ARU, TEG?>?60.2%. The results of different platelet function assays were uninterchangeable for monitoring aspirin response and correlations among them were also varied. Correlations among PL-11 and other three major assays suggested the ability of PL-11 to assess the treatment effects of aspirin. But a large cohort study is needed to confirm the cut-off value of aspirin response detected by PL-11.     

艾灸联合综合防治措施预防肿瘤患者深静脉血栓形成效果分析

目的:观察在综合防治措施的基础上加用艾灸对肿瘤患者深静脉血栓(DVT)形成的防治效果。方法:将80例肿瘤患者随机分为对照组和观察组各40例。2组均接受弹力袜、抬高下肢、按摩、饮食护理、药物等综合防治措施,观察组加予艾灸涌泉和足三里。2组均观察14 d。每天检查肢体的疼痛、肿胀、麻木症状,下肢皮肤色泽和温度有无变化,计算2组的DVT发生率,治疗前后测量下肢血流速度、下肢周径,检测纤维蛋白原(FIB)、D-二聚体(D-D)水平。结果:观察组肿痛、麻木和血流变缓的发生率均低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P0.05),DVT和皮色改变的发生率虽低于对照组,但组间比较,差异均无统计学意义(P0.05)。2组下肢血流速度均较治疗前减慢(P0.05),下肢周径均较治疗前增加(P0.05)。观察组下肢血流速度快于对照组(P0.05),下肢周径小于对照组(P0.05)。2组FIB、D-D水平均较治疗前下降(P0.01),观察组FIB和D-D水平均低于对照组(P0.01)。结论:在综合防治措施的基础上加用艾灸涌泉和足三里,能有效促进肿瘤患者的血液循环,降低发生DVT的风险。
