Objective To investigate the mental health status of students with foreign nursing spe-cialty and analyze its relationship with stress, coping style and perceived social support. Method The cluster sampling was conducted between students with foreign nursing specialty. The Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90), and self-designed demographic questionnaires including demographic information questionnaire, College Students Stress Scale and Coping Style Questionnaire were employed. Results Students with foreign nursing specialty obtained significantly higher scores in all factors of SCL-90 when compared to the national youth norm,and obtained significantly higher scores in factors of somatization, obsession, anxiety, fear and psychotic diseases when compared to the norm of college students. The multifactor analysis of mental health status in students with foreign nursing specialty showed that soma-tization factors contained personal stress, seeking help, family supports and other supports;obsession factors contained personal stress, negative life events, academic stress and solving problem;interpersonal sensitivity factors contained personal stress, academic stress, solving problem, self-blame, fantasy and retreat; depres-sion factors contained personal stress, academic stress, solving problem, self-blame and other supports;anxiety factors contained personal stress, academic stress, fantasy, self-blame, family supports and other supports; hostility factors contained personal stress, seeking help, retreat, fantasy and other supports; fear factors contained personal stress, academic stress, seeking help, retreat and fantasy; crankiness factors con-tained personal stress, academic stress, solving problem, retreat, self-blame, family supports and friend sup-ports; factors of psychotic diseases contained personal stress, academic stress, solving problem, self-blame and friend supports;and factors of other symptoms contained personal stress, negative life events, academic stress, retreat, self-blame, family supports, friend supports and other supports. Conclusion The mental health status of students with foreign nursing specialty was inferior to the norms of national youths and col-lege students. It was negatively correlated with stress, active coping style, friend supports and other supports;while positively correlated with passive coping style (except escape) and family supports. Therefore, mental health education toward students with foreign nursing specialty should be strengthened in order to reduce their stress, improve their coping style, enhance their social supports, and finally promote their mental and physical development.

Background:As an important catalytic subunit of telomerase,human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)plays an important role in the development and progression of many cancers including gastric cancer.It has been reported that several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)of hTERT had varying degrees of association with risk of neoplasms. Aims:To study the correlation between SNPs of hTERT rs2853676 and rs2853677 and susceptibility to gastric cancer. Methods:Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the genotypes of rs2853676 and rs2853677 of hTERT in 297 gastric cancer patients,105 atrophic gastritis and 402 controls. Helicobacter pylori (Hp)infection was detected by pathological examination and 13 C-urea breath test.Results:Frequency of AA genotype of rs2853676 was significantly higher in gastric cancer group when compared with control group (15.2%vs.6.5%,P =0.01).The risk of gastric cancer in AA genotype carriers increased 2.47-fold (95% CI:1.46-4.16) when compared with GG carriers.No significant differences in the frequencies of CC,TC and TT genotypes of rs2853677 were found among gastric cancer patients,atrophic gastritis patients and controls.Hp infection rates in atrophic gastritis group and gastric cancer group were significantly increased than those in controls (64.8%,56.9% vs.40.3%,P all <0.01),OR were 2.73 (95% CI:1.74-4.26),1.96 (95% CI:1.44-2.67),respectively.Logistic regression analysis showed that there was no significant interaction between Hp infection and gene mutation.Conclusions:Polymorphism of hTERT gene rs2853676 may play a role in susceptibility to gastric cancer,and Hp infection may not be involved in the increase of risk of gastric cancer caused by hTERT gene polymorphism.

OBJECTIVETo study the application of three-dimensional visualization technology for laparoscopic resection of cystic carcinoma in the pancreatic body and tail.
METHODSSix cases of cystic carcinoma in the pancreatic body and tail treated between Nov, 2009 and Mar, 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. The original image data of 64-slice spiral CT were collected and using adaptive region growing algorithm, the serial CT images were segmented and automatically extracted to obtain the 3-dimensional reconstruction images with customized image manipulation software. The specific surgical approach (the trocar position) and surgical procedure were planned based on the reconstructed mode.
RESULTSThe reconstructed 3-dimensional model clearly displayed cystic carcinoma in the pancreatic body and tail and the adjacent organs, showing distinct relationship between the cystoma and the splenic artery and vein. All the patients successfully underwent laparoscopic resection of the pancreatic body and tail without perioperative death. The spleen was preserved in 5 cases and removed in 1 case due to mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. The overall rate of pancreatic fistulae was 33.3% without incidences of postoperative hemorrhage. The average hospital stay of the patients was 12 days.
CONCLUSIONThree-dimensional reconstruction based on pancreatic CT data provides valuable assistance for laparoscopic resection of cystic carcinoma in the pancreatic body and tail.

Objective To observe the effect of risperidone on serum brain derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF) in first-episode schizophrenic patients. Methods In the treatment group, 90 first-episode schizophrenics were treated with risperidone for 16 weeks, and the dose of risperidone was (3.79±0.88) mg·d-1. Serum BDNF levels were measured before treatment, at 2, 8, and 16 weeks after treatment. The severity of schizophrenia symptoms was assessed by the positive and negative symptom scale ( PANSS) before and after sixteen weeks of treatment. Serum BDNF concentrations were measured in 90 healthy controls. Results BDNF in the control group was (22.867±6.051) ng·mL-1. The serum BDNF levels before treatment and at the end of week 2, 8, 16 after the treatment in the treatment group were (14.256±4.096), (13.078±3.462), (18.001±5.753), (21.089± 6.692) ng·mL-1 , and the serum BDNF level was significantly lower in the treatment group than that in the control group ( P<0.01) . After the treatment, the level of BDNF in the treatment group decreased at first and then increased, compared with that before treatment, the difference was significantly ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . The level of BDNF in the treatment group at the end of week 16 was not significantly different from that of the control group ( P>0.05) . After treatment, the total score of PANSS scale and its subscales decreased, the difference was significantly (P<0.01). At the end of week 16, the PANSS subscale reduction rate was positively correlated to the serum BDNF concentration change (r=0.499, P=0.001). The change rate of serum BDNF concentration at the end of week 16 was not correlated with the dose of risperidone (r=0.103, P=0.335). Conclusion BDNF is abnormal in the first episode of schizophrenia, which can be improved by risperidone treatment.
