ObjectiveTo explore the value of CT virtual endoscopy in the treatment strategies in low rectal cancer surgery.MethodsFifty- seven cases of rectal cancer in Jining First Hospital were collected,preoperative rectum CT virtual endoscopy,detailed records of patients with rectal invasion and the circumstances surrounding lymph nodes were investigated.Differences were compared in patients after routine pathological examination.And the distance of the tumor from the anal margin was compared with the preoperative rectum on rectal examination and rectal CT virtual endoscopy.ResultsPreoperative rectum CT virtual endoscopy had no significant difference in evaluation of metastases of the surrounding lymph nodes.Compared with postoperative pathological examination( x2 =2.5,P > 0.05 ),while had significant difference in evaluation in perirectal infiltration( x2 =4.44,P < 0.05 ).Rectal examination and rectum CT virtual endoscopy had no significant difference judgement of the tumor from the anal margin ( P > 0.05 ).ConclusionsCT virtual endoscopy has a great significance in the preoperative evaluation of rectal cancer surgical treatment strategies,which should be further studied.

Objective To synthesize poly asparagine derivatives and to evaluate its safety at the cellular level, which provide research platform for its potential application as drug carrier. Methods Polysuccinimide was synthesized by ther?mal polymerization of L-polyaspartic acid, and the target product of PSI-Phe-EA was obtained by the ring-opening reaction of polysuccinimide using L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride and ethanol amine. The structure of PSI-Phe-EA were characterized by 1H NMR. The rate of ring-opening of PSI was calculated by internal standard method of 1H NMR. The change of hydrophilicity was studied by the comparison of solubility. The cytotoxicity and morphology modification by PSI-Phe-EA at designate concentrations was investigated by MTT method and inverted microscopy respectively. The effects on cell cycles were analyzed by flow cytometry after propidium iodide (PI) staining. Results 1H NMR results confirmed the structure of PSI-Phe-EA and the ring-openning rate of PSI was 40%. The hydrophilicity of PSI-Phe-EA was greatly in?creased upon ring opening using ethanol amine. MTT test showed that the cell survival rates of NIH 3T3 and HepG2 cells were higher than 80%under the examined concentration (<100 mg/L). Inverted microscopy showed that 50 mg/L of PSI-Phe-EA treatment had no adverse effects on cell morphology. Cell cycle analysis indicated that PSI-Phe-EA treatment had no in?fluence on cell cycles of NIH 3T3 and HepG2 cell lines. Conclusion PSI-Phe-EA showed high hydrophilicity without sig?nificant effects on the cells survival, cells morphology and cell cycles. It is a kind of safe polymer material.

Objective To synthesize a new ethynylated open ring derivatives of polyasparamide as functional drug carrier.Methods L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride was prepared using L-phenylalanine and then was used for ring opening reaction of polysuccinimide.To synthesize the target product of PSI-Phe-OMe-PA, the obtained polyasparamide-g-phenylalanine derivatives ( PSI-Phe-OMe) was further ring opened by propargylamine.The structure of PSI-Phe-OMe-PA was confirmed by 1 H NMR.The biocompatibility of PSI-Phe-OMe-PA was evaluated by MTT method, inverted microscope observation and cell cycles analysis ( propidium iodide staining ) .Results The ring-opening rate of polyasparamide by L-phenylalanine methyl ester and propargylamine was 40%and 100%, respectively.All results of biocompatibility studies indicated that PSI-Phe-OMe-PA may be a good candidate for functional drug carrier.Conclusion Based on the ring-opening capability of amino-group and the specificity of click reaction, L-phenylalanine methyl ester hydrochloride and propargylamine were used successively to react with polyasparamide.PSI-Phe-OMe-PA is a biocompatible functional drug carrier.

BackgroundThe major depressive disorder has high prevalence among adolescents, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors frequently occur among patients, therefore, major depressive disorder in adolescents has become the researching focus. ObjectiveTo explore the effect of mentalization-based family therapy (MBFT) on depressive symptoms and NSSI behavior in adolescents with major depressive disorder, and to provide references for the rehabilitation of major depressive disorder in adolescents. MethodsA total of 90 adolescent patients with major depression disorder who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) for depressive disorders and attended Wuhan Mental Health Center from January to December 2022 were selected, and were assigned into study group (n=44) and control group (n=46) using random number table method. All participants received routine intervention, based on this, study group added a 60-minute MBFT intervention once a week for 8 weeks. Before the intervention and at the end of 1st, 2nd,4th and 8th week,the two groups were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Ottawa Self-injury Inventory (OSI). ResultsThe repeated measures analysis of variance reported a statistical main effect of time, main effect of group, and interaction effect between time and group at the baseline and the end of 1st, 2nd, 4th and 8th week of treatment in HAMD-24 score (F=69.621, 15.428, 29.623, P˂0.05), OSI score (F=176.642, 37.682, 21.873, P˂0.05), GSES score (F=215.236, 57.421, 27.857, P˂0.05) and PSQI score (F=268.541, 61.863, 33.867, P˂0.05). Individual effect analysis discovered a statistical difference between study group and control group at the end of 2nd, 4th and 8th week of treatment in HAMD-24 score (t=5.567, 8.645, 6.233, P˂0.01), OSI score (t=3.675, 11.817, 9.632, P˂0.01), GSES score (t=23.462, 31.709, 12.750, P˂0.01) and PSQI score (t=9.664, 22.457, 9.333, P˂0.01). ConclusionMBFT may improve depressive symptoms, NSSI behavior, sleep quality and self-efficacy in adolescents with major depressive disorder.
