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.     

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。     

应用膀胱三角区壁瓣成形尿道治疗女性外伤性尿道缺损(附5例报告)

目的：探讨膀胱三角区壁瓣成形尿道治疗女性外伤性尿道损伤的疗效。方法：自膀胱颈后唇向上，取梯字形壁瓣，形成锥状管，经膀胱颈口，自阴道前壁外拉至外阴部，在原尿道外口处固定，替代尿道。结果：3例随访8年，1例6年，1例5年，平均随访7年，均排尿通畅，无尿失禁和尿道狭窄。结论：女性外伤性尿道缺损，应用膀胱三角区壁瓣形成锥状管替代尿道法治疗，手术简单，对患者打击小，成功率高，远期效果好。
