Objective To investigate the occurrence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the relationship between PTSD and emotional regulation strategies of mothers with neonates hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods One hundred and twenty-seven postpartum women with neonate hospitalized in the NICU were selected from a general hospital. All the cases were investigated by PTSD check list-Civilian version (PCL-C) and emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ). Results The incidence of PTSD of postpartum women with neonate in NICU was 13.4%(17/127). The expressive suppression scores in positive PTSD group were (17.76±2.46) points,which were significantly higher than (14.16 ± 5.14) points in negative PTSD group (t=-4.659, P<0.01). Expressive suppression contributed significantly positive correlation to the total and the dimension scores of PCL-C (r=0.187-0.243, P<0.05 or 0.01). Expressive suppression was found to contribute significantly to the explained variance in mothers′ PTSD (P<0.05), whereas no association was found between PTSD and cognitive reappraisal (P>0.05). Conclusions The admission of neonates to the NICU is a stressful event for mothers, which could cause PTSD symptoms. PTSD has a closer relationship with expressive suppression, rather than cognitive reappraisal. Therefore, health workers should instruct mothers with neonates in NICU to regulate emotions by appropriate coping strategies, decreasing the possibility of psychological problems, promoting the mental health of women in the perinatal period.

Objective To investigate changes of GP73 after hepatectomy and its correlations with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence. Methods Perioperative serum GP73 was monitored in hepatic hemangioma and HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy. Clinicopathologic features and follow-up results were collected to evaluate the relationship between serum GP73 level and patients' prognosis.Results There was no statistical difference between preoperative GP73 and postoperative GP73 in hepatic hemangioma group.While preoperative GP73 in HCC group was 9.9(3.7 - 15.8) relative unit (RU),and that on POD3 (postoperative day 3 ) was 9.1 ( 3.4 - 13.3 ) RU,on POD7 was 74.3 ( 1.7 - 9.0) RU,on POD14 was 3.3(2.1 -5.4) RU ( F =72.606,P < 0.001 ).HCC recurred in 21 cases during follow-up,GP73 in recurrent cases [ 11.0 (8.4 - 13.8 ) RU ] was significantly higher than postoperative trough values while it was not different from their preoperative GP73 level [ 9.9 ( 2.9 - 15.0) RU ] ( Z =1.185,P >0.05). The preoperative GP73 level between recurrent subgroup and nonrecurrent subgroup was not significantly different (Z =- 1.546,P > 0.05 ).Preoperative GP73 did not correlate to patients' survival.Conclusions Hepatectomy for HCC leads to a significant decrease of GP73 and postoperative HCC recurrence accompanies reelevation of GP73. GP73 could be used as a postoperative monitor for HCC recurrence.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to understand the relationships among plasma glucose, blood pressure level and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes in Shanghai community residents, and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of community chronic disease based on TCM syndrome differentiation.Methods: Residents above35 years old will attend the Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2 DM) risk assessment at Community Health Center. By distributing questionnaires and performing glucose testing, we screened the residents at high risk of T2 DM, and conducted a physical examination of them. Further, a body constitution questionnaire was required to be completed by the residents. Results: In total, 933 residents were screened. The plasma glucose and blood pressure levels related to age, waist circumference, hip circumference, body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) . Residents with increasing blood pressure have an increased risk of T2 DM (P < 0.01) . Total 529 questionnaires were completed, and 129 subjects (24.4%) have single TCM syndromes, 75 subjects (14.2%) have at least two TCM syndromes and 325 subjects (61.4%) have no TCM syndromes. Conclusion: Plasma glucose and blood pressure are associated and interacted with several physical indexes. TCM syndromes distribution was found no significant change among subjects with different plasma glucose and blood pressure.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of glycyrrhetinic acid on cough variant asthma (CVA) mice based on molecular docking technique; To explore the possibility of its treatment for cough variant asthma.Methods:The software of Autodock Vina was used for molecular docking. The mice were divided into control group, model group, prednisone acetate group, glycyrrhetinic acid high-, medium-, and low-dosage groups according to the random number table method, with 8 mice in each group. Except for the blank control group, all other groups were induced by egg protein to establish cough variant asthma models. Glycyrrhetinic acid high-, medium-, and low-dosage groups were orally administered glycyrrhetinic acid suspension at 20, 10, and 5 mg/kg, while the prednisone acetate group was orally administered prednisone acetate at 5 mg/kg. The blank control group and model group were orally administered equal volumes of physiological saline, once per day for 14 consecutive days. The animal asthma behavior was observed after drug administration. The secretion of bronchial mucus in lung tissue were observed by AB-PAS staining and the index of spleen were recorded. The protein expressions of Gata3, IL-4 and IL-13 in the spleen tissue were determined by Western blot.Results:Molecular docking results showed that glycyrrhetinic acid had good binding ability to Th2-related factors Gata3, IL-4 and IL-13. Results of animal experiment showed that compared with the model group, the mucus secretion decreased in glycyrrhetinic acid groups, the index of the spleen of mice obviously decreased, protein expression levels of IL-4 and IL-13 in the spleen tissue of mice in glycyrrhetinic acid high-, medium-, and low-dosage groups decreased ( P<0.05), and Gata3 in glycyrrhetinic acid medium- and low-dosage groups decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Glycyrrhetinic acid can correct the shift of Th2 in the immune system of cough variant asthma mice and has a certain therapeutic effect.

Objective:To evaluate CT and or MRI imaging in the diagnosis of lateral lymph node metastasis in patients of middle and low rectal cancer.Methods:In this study, 112 lateral lymph nodes were harvested in 79 patients with middle and low rectal cancer. The relationship between the preoperative imaging features of the lateral lymph nodes and the postoperative pathology was evaluated.Result:Thirty-eight cases (48%) were pathologically confirmed to have lateral lymph node metastasis. The diameter of metastasis-positive lateral lymph nodes was significantly larger than that of metastasis-negative lateral lymph nodes ( P<0.01). Multivariate analysis of clinical features and imaging features found that, tumors poorly differentiated, mucinous adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell carcinoma ( P=0.006), and the largest short diameter of the lateral lymph node ≥7 mm ( P=0.024), uneven density or signal ( P=0.022) were independent risk factors for lateral lymph node metastasis. Conclusion:Poor tumor differentiation, lateral lymph node maximum short diameter ≥7 mm, density or signal unevenness are independent risk factors for lateral lymph node metastasis in middle and low rectal carcinoma.
