Objective : To investigate the mediating effect of negative emotions on visual impairment and resilience among middle-aged and elderly populations, so as to provide insights into improving psychological health among middle-aged and elderly populations. Methods: Demographic information, visual impairment, negative emotions and resilience in the residents at ages of 45 years and older were collected through the database of the Yushu Physical and Mental Health Survey carried out by Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Structural equation model was used to analyze the effects of visual impairment and resilience and the mediating role of negative emotions. Results: Totally 2 997 middle-aged and elderly populations were enrolled, with the median age of 50.00 (interquartile range, 47.00) years. There were 1 320 males (44.04%) and 1 677 females (55.96%), 1 627 illiterate persons (54.29%), and 2 780 married persons (92.76%). The scores of visual impairment, negative emotions and resilience were (6.79±2.59), (6.35±3.05) and (33.38±10.41) points, respectively. The results of structural equation model analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, educational level and marital status, visual impairment had a direct negative positive effect on resilience, with a direct effect value of -0.157 (95%CI: -0.177 to -0.137), and visual impairment could also negatively affect residence through negative emotions, with a mediating effect value of -0.112 (95%CI: -0.126 to -0.104), and the mediating effect contributed 41.64% to the total effect. Conclusion visual impairment could reduce residence directly or indirectly through the mediating effect of negative emotions among middle-aged and elderly populations.

Objective To analyze the clinical outcomes after different treatments for the Monteggia's fracture in children. Methods From January 1991 to December 2001, a total of 128 children with Monteggia's fracture were reviewed, there were 91 males and 37 females, the average age was 7.4 years (range, 2-14 years). According to the Bado classification system: 73 of typeⅠ( extension type) accounted for 57.0%; 20 of type Ⅱ (flexion type), 15.6%; 33 of type Ⅲ (adduction type), 25.8%; 2 of type Ⅳ, 1.6%. 50 patients received conservative treatment, all belonged to the fresh fractures (within 1 week after injury); the other 78 patients were operated, including 30 fresh fractures after failure of closed reduction and 48 old fractures. The conservative patients received manipulation and plaster immobilization. In the operative group, 45 patients (16 fresh and 29 old fractures) were fixed with single Kirschner wire after reduction of the radiohumeral joints, and the ulnas were free of fixation; 33 children (14 fresh and 19 old fractures) were fixed with double wire both for the radiohumeral joints and fractured ulnas. In the fresh Monteggia's fractures, the annular ligament was repaired simply without reconstruction, but in the old fractures, neither reparation nor reconstruction was needed. The plaster was kept for 4-6 weeks postoperatively. Results All patients were available at the final follow up with a mean of 5.6 years (range, 1-10 years). According to the Lihan Ming's scoring system for the motion function in children: the conservative patients were classified as 42 excellent, 4 good, 2 fair and 2 poor, the excellent and good rate was 92%; and in the single wire group, there were 31 excellent, 5 good, 2 fair and 1 poor, the excellent and good rate was 93.3%; finally in the double wire group, 22 excellent, 7 good, 2 fair and 2 poor, the excellent and good rate was 87.9%. Conclusion The closed reduction should be selected first for the fresh Monteggia's fracture in children, the operation is only indicated for the special fresh or old fractures, in which neither the anatomic reduction was satisfactory nor the reduction can be kept without internal fixation. The operative technique, including the open reduction of the radiohumeral joint and fixation both with Kirschner wire and plaster,is reliable to improve the clinical results.

BACKGROUND:There are numerous studies on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)from small animals such as rats and rabbits,but no few reports addressing BMSCs from big animals.OBJECTIVE:To observe in vitro cultured goat BMSCs,and to understand its biological properties.METHODS:A healthy Chinese goat aged ten months was obtained to extract 5 mL fresh bone marrow from the posterior superior iliac spine by puncture following anesthesia.Using the whole bone marrow method,the samples were incubated in a sterile plastic culture flask and added with DMEM/F12 containing 10% fetal bovine serum.Following 80% 90% confluence,cells were digested by trypsin.Cells at passage 3 in logarithmic phase were collected and frozen,and then recovered.Changes in cell morphology were observed using an inverted microscope.Cell growth curve was measured using MTT assay.The potential of osteogenic differentiation was examined utilizing Von Kossa's staining.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The primary cultured BMSCs were cultured with adherent growth.The cells were spindle form.Cell morphology following passage 3 was similar,showing long spindle shape.Following freezing and recovery,cell adherence was slower compared with subculture cells,and no significant difference was detected in cell morphology and viability compared with subculture cells.Growth cycle was similar in passage 3-passage 5 cells.BMSCs entered lag phase at days 2 and 3,logarithmic phase at day 3,and platform phase at days 6 and 7,and then growth speed was slow.Goat BMSCs were positive for Von Kossa's stain at 3 weeks following osteogenic induction.Results verified that cultured goat BMSCs showed strong genetic stability and proliferation ability,and differentiated into osteoblasts.
