Objective To investigate the effect of psychological abuse in childhood on the personality of undergraduates with depression as well as its possible mechanism, and thus provide scientific evidence for the intervention of depression in undergraduates. Methods Particinants were 733 undergraduates from a university in Henan Province. They were surveyed with Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale (CES-D), childhood experience of care and abuse questionnaire (CECA. Q) and Eysenck personality theory (EPQ). Results the correlation between maternal antipathy and introversion-extroversion of personality;psychological abuse in childhood had apparently positive correlation with the depression in undergraduates (r = 0. 257, r = 0. 304, r =0. 243, P＜ 0. 01) and that of childhood maternal neglect to psychoticism (β = 0.206, P＜ 0.01) were positive and significant. The standard regression coefficients of paternal neglect to introversion-extroversion (β= -0. 143, P＜0. 01)were negative and significant . The scores of childhood paternal antipathy and maternal antipathy explained that childhood paternal antipathy had indirect effect via adulthood neuroticism on the depression in undergraduates,furthermore, the indirect effect demonstrated 59.8% of the total effect. Conclusion This study suggests that the personality of undergraduates with depression is affected directly by psychological abuse in childhood, and adulthood personality may mediate the relation between childhood psychological abuse and adulthood depression.

Objective To investigate CT features of solitary fibrous tumor of the mediastinum(SFTM),and to analyze the causes of misdiagnosis of this disease.Methods CT features of 5 patients of SFTM confirmed operatively and pathologically were retrospec-tively analyzed.All patients underwent before operation but were misdiagnosed.Results 3 cases were located in right mediastinum with oval-shap,well-defined margin,and “pleural tail sign”,2 cases were located in right thoracis cavity with unwell-defined margin, and in the adjacent lung were oppressed.In all 5 patients,the mean median of tumors was 1 1.5 cm(8.6-1 5 cm),non-homogeneous density of tumors were seen on plain CT scans,and obvious non-homogeneous enhancement with“geographic pattern”on contrast-en-hanced CT.Conclusion CT can clearly reveal the size and the appearance of SFTM,adjacent architectures,the final diagnosis de-pends on histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of the tumors.To un-know is the main caused of misdiagnosis of medi-astinal SFT.

Objective To investigate the effect of health education under Doctor-nurse-therapist Integrated Model on patients after lower limb amputation. Methods 70 patients after lower limb amputation were divided into experimental group (n=35) and control group (n=35). The experimental group received health education under the Doctor-nurse-therapist Integrated Model, while the control group received the routine health education. The success rate of health knowledge, satisfaction to nursing care, activities of daily living (ADL) and time stay in hospital were compared. Results The success rate of health knowledge, satisfaction to nursing care and score of ADL were more in the experimental group than the control group (P<0.05), while the time stay in hospital was less (P<0.01). Conclusion The Doctor-nurse-therapist Integrated Model can make the health education continuous and comprehensive, and it is more effective on patients with lower limb amputation.

Aim To investigate effects of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) on neuropathic pain induced by P2X_3 receptor. Methods Chronic constriction injury (CCI) model was adopted. Mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency were measured and P2X_3 immunoreactivity in L_4/L_5 spinal cord was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results At day 14 after operation, the mechanical withdrawal threshold and thermal withdrawal latency in group Ⅴ(CCI group) were lower than those in groupⅠ(NS group),Ⅱ(TMP group),Ⅲ(sham group) and Ⅳ (CCI+ TMP group)(P0.05). The expression of P2X_3 receptor in L_4/L_5 spinal cord of group Ⅳ was lower than that of group Ⅴ (P

Objective To investigate the effect of hepatopoietin Cn(HPPCn) on liver stem cells.Methods In this study, WB-F344 cell line was used, and MTT and flow cytometry assay were conducted to determine cell proliferation and apoptosis.Transwell assay was used to test the migration of WB-F344 cells.A 2AAF-partial hepatectomy(PH) mouse model was used to observe the effect of HPPCn on liver stem cell proliferation in vivo.Results HPPCn enhanced WB-F344 cell proliferation and migration and activated the SphK1, Erk and Stat3 signal pathways.The analysis of the 2AAF-PH mouse model showed that oval cells in the experimental group far outnumbered those in control and the regeneration of the liver was improved post PH.Conclusion HPPCn can increase the liver stem cell proliferation and survival while promoting the regenenation of the liver by augmenting oval cell proliferation.

The stable isotope labeling by amino acids in culture (SILAC) based quantitative proteomics serves as a gold standard because of the high accuracy and throughput for protein identifications and quantification. In this study, we discussed the application of SILAC technology in mammal model, and developed quantitative internal standard for comparative proteomics of disease model. The C57BL/6J mice fed by special diet containing the 13C6-Lysine and bred F2 generation. We identified and analyzed total proteins of 9 mice tissues of F2 generation, including brain, lung, heart, stomach, intestine, liver, spleen, kidney, and muscle. Quantitative analysis information could evaluate the mice and different tissues' labeling efficiency. Liver was the most efficient, brain the least, and the labeling efficiency were 96.34%±0.90% and 92.62%±1.98% respectively. The average of the labeling efficiency of F2 generation was 95.80%±0.64%, which met the international standard (≥ 95%) for SILAC quantitative proteomics effective study. SILAC technology was successfully extended to mammalian model system, which will provide powerful tools for the mechanism study of the pathophysiology process with mouse model.
