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 the association between drainage volume and removal of chest tube after video-as?sisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) lobectomy. Methods Patients with VATS were randomly divided into three groups:the drainage volume was less than 100 mL/24 h (group A), the drainage volume was more than 100 mL/24 h but less than 200 mL/24 h(group B) and the drainage volume was more than 200 mL/24 h but less than 300 mL/24 h (group C). According to in?clusion criteria and exclusion criteria, finally there were 90 patients in group A, 87 patients in group B and 83 patients in group C. The duration of chest-tube drainage, the occurrence of pulmonary infection, pulmonary atelectasis, pneumothorax, hydrothorax, seepage or delayed union after removal of chest tube, the dosage of analgesic and the length of hospital stay af?ter surgery were recorded. Data were analyzed statistically. Results The average durations of chest-tube drainage were (91.76±15.59)h, (84.17±18.33)h and (56.14±12.25)h, the average morphine consumptions were (236.82±67.20)mg, (187.36± 76.64)mg and (139.29±52.74)mg, and the average lengths of hospital stay after surgery were (11.47±1.90)d, (10.68±2.50)d and (10.23 ± 2.14)d for three groups of patients, respectively. And the indexes in group C were distinctly lower than those in group A and group B (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in pulmonary atelectasis, the occurrence of postopera?tive pulmonary infection, pneumothorax, hydrothorax, seepage or delayed union after removal of chest tubes between three groups of patients (P > 0.05). Conclusion It is safe and acceptable that the removal of chest tube after VATS when the drainage volume reaches 300 mL within 24 h.

Objective: To observe the effect of Tongxinluo (TXL) on homocysteine-induced rat’s cardiac micro vascular endothelial cell (RCMECs) injury and to study the oxidative stress mechanism. Methods: Primary RCMECs were cultured with tissue explants process, cell morphology was observed by inverted microscope and the cell was identiifed by CD31 immunolfuorescence method. RCMEC injury model was established by Homocysteine (Hcy) induction and the cells were divided into 5 groups: Control group, with normal cells, Hcy group, the cells were treated by Hcy at 10 mmol/L, Low-dose TXL group, Hcy treated cells were cultured with TXL at 100 mg/L, Middle-dose TXL (200 mg/L) group and high-dose TXL (400 mg/L) group. Cell survival rates were detected, supernatant levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were examined, intracellular protein expressions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) were detected and mRNA expression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) was measured in different groups respectively. Results: Compared with Control group, Hcy group showed decreased cell survival rate (74.61 ± 2.88)% vs (100.00 ± 2.07)%, increased supernatant level of MDA (4.10 ± 0.18) nmol/ml vs (1.92 ± 0.10) nmol/ml, reduced SOD activity (7.55 ± 0.71) U/ml vs (20.77 ± 0.68) U/ml, elevated ROS level(38.17 ± 10.28) % vs (19.83 ± 2.97) %, up-regulated mRNA expression of ET-1 and down-regulated protein expression of eNOS. Compared with Hcy group, the above indexes were improved in each TXL group at different levels. Conclusion: TXL could decrease Hcy induced RCMECs injury, such protection was conducted by reducing the oxidative stress mechanism in cells.
