Objective To investigate the influence of need for cognitive closure on academic performance,interpersonal relationships and subjective well-being of undergraduates.Methods 250 undergraduates from Xinxiang Medical University and 200 undergraduates from Henan Normal University were tested by questionnaires,including of need for cognitive closure scale,interpersonal relationships subscale of SCL-90 and undergraduates＇subjective well-being scale.Results ①The scores in the need for cognitive closure of the better academic-performance undergraduates were significant higher than those of the undergraduates with no better academic-performance ( t =2.21,P ＜ 0.05 ).②Decisiveness of need for cognitive closure was a negative predicator of interpersonal relationships(β =-0.34,P ＜ 0.01 ).③Need for cognitive closure,decisiveness and need for structure factor were significant positive predicators of self-satisfaction,life satisfaction,social behavior,and energy factors in undergraduates＇subjective well-being (β =0.13 ～ 0.32,P ＜ 0.01 ).Need for cognitive closure was a significant predicator of negative emotions and positive emotions (β =-0.13,β =0.13,P ＜ 0.01 ).Decisiveness-factor was a negative predicator of negative emotions and interpersonal relationships in undergraduates＇subjective well-being,and was a positive predicator of family satisfaction(β =-0.22,β =-0.19,β =0.26,P＜0.01 ).Need for structure factor was a significant positive predicator of positive emotions (β =0.13,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion Need for cognitive closure has some influence on undergraduates' academic performance,interpersonal relationships and subjective well-being.

Studies in recent years revel that there is a close relationship between gastrin/cholecystokinin-2 receptors (GAS/CCK-2R) and pancreatic cancer. CCK-2R is widely distributed in human body, but not in normal exocrine pancreas. However, CCK-2R is abnormally expressed in pancreatic carcinoma. The abnormal expression of CCK-2R in pancreatic tissues leads to the abnormal protein expression and activation, changes in acinar cells' morphology and phenotype and an increase in the sensitivity to carcinogenic substances. And some GAS/CCK-2R antagonists can be used for the early and late treatment of pancreatic cancer.

AIM: To study the effects of calcium channel blockers (CCB) on nicotinic acetylcholine receptor current (I_(NIC)) in rat adrenal medullar chromaffin cells (RAMCs). METHODS: By using the whole-cell clamp-patch technique, we have investigated the effects of nifedipine(NIF)、?-conotoxin GVIA and ?-agatoxin IVA on I_(NIC) induced by nicotine(NIC) before and after RAMCs perfusion. RESULTS: After perfusing RAMCs for 5 min, different kinds of calcium channel blockers at different concentration showed significant inhibitory effects on I_(NIC) induced by 50 ?mol/L NIC. The peak inhibition rates of 10 ?mol/L NIF、400 nmol/L ?-conotoxin GVIA and 100 nmol/L ?-agatoxin IVA were (61.7?5.1)%,(29.3?7.4)% and (17.6?7.5)%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The acute effects of different kinds of CCBs on RAMC were that they obviously inhibited I_(NIC) induced by NIC. These results suggest that CCBs may inhibit catecholamine secretion by directly blocking nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channel. [

By using the whole-cell clamp-patch technique, the effects of dexamethasone on calcium channel current (Ica) and nicotine receptor channel current (I_(NIC)) were examined. The acute action of glucocorticoid on adrenal medullary chromaffin cell (AMCC) of rats was a significant inhibition of I_(NIC), while no apparent effect was observed on Ica induced by electricity. The results suggest that the acute action of glucocorticoid on catecholamine release in rat AMCC may be directly related to nicotine receptor.
