1.Relationship Between Undergraduates’ Emotional Intelligence and Self-handicapping: With Personality Traits as the Mediator
Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 2001;0(03):-
Objective: To investigate the relationship between undergraduates’ emotional intelligence, personality traits and self-handicapping. Methods: 1094 undergraduates were tested with Self-handicapping Questionnaires、Emotional Intelligence Scale and NEO-FFI. Results: ①Undergraduates’ self-handicapping was negatively correlated with emotional intelligence(P

AIM: To observe the effect of osthole on tricalcium phosphate (TCP) particles-induced calvarial osteolysis in vivo.METHODS:Male ICR mice were randomly divided into sham group , TCP group and osthole group .A mouse calvarial model of osteolysis was established by TCP particles .On the second postoperative day , osthole (20 mg/kg) was locally injected into the calvarium under the periosteum 3 times a week.Two weeks after osthole treatment , blood and calvaria were collected to determine the level of bone turnover markers such as alkaline phosphatase ( ALP) , osteocalcin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase ( TRACP) .The periosteum was performed to examine the release of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1βby ELISA.The calvaria was obtained for histological and molecular analyses.RESULTS:Data from HE and TRACP staining revealed that osthole prevented TCP particles-induced obvious increase in osteoclastogenesis and resorption area in the metaphysis of mouse calvaria .Osthole treatment increased ALP ac-tivity and osteocalcin level , and dncreased the activity of TRACP in the mouse serum compared with TCP group .Further-more, TCP particles-induced the releases of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1βwere significantly suppressed by osthole treatment .In addition, Western blot demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum ( ER) stress markers such as glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and CAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) were significantly up-regulated in TCP parti-cles-implanted calvarial mice , indicating that TCP particles triggered an ER stress response in the mouse calvarial osteolysis model , which obviously attenuated by osthole .CONCLUSION:Osthole inhibits TCP particles-induced calvarial osteolysis in mice, which is mediated by inhibition of ER stress signaling pathway .

OBJECTIVE:
To assess hearing effect of ossicular chain reconstruction with titanium ossicular replacement prosthesis during mastoidectomy with synchronous ossiculoplasty in chronic middle ear disease.
METHOD:
Retrospective reviews were performed for 139 patients who had underwent mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty with titanium ossicular replacement prostheses at the same time between 2008 and 2011. The partial ossicular replacement prostheses (PORP) were used in 91 patients and the total ossicular replacement prostheses (TORP) were used in 48 patients respectively. All patients had follow-up for 2 to 5 years. The preoperative and postoperative mean air conduction and air-bone gaps(ABG) for the four frequencies (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 kHz) were evaluated. The improvement of mean air conduction and ABG over the same frequencies were measured. A postoperative ABG less than or equal to 20 dB was considered a successful operation. The hearing results of titanium PORP and TORP were compared.
RESULT:
The mean air conductions were (53.97 +/- 11.32)dB and (36.80 +/- 11.68) dB preoperatively and postoperatively in PORP group. The mean improvement in air conduction was (17.17 +/- 5.79)dB. The mean ABG was (31.84 +/- 6.17)dB and (15.13 +/- 7.22)dB preoperatively and postoperatively in PORP group. The mean improvement in ABG was (17.71 +/- 5.5)dB. The difference of hearing threshold between preoperative and postoperative had statistical significance (P < 0.01). The mean air conduction were (58.05 +/- 11.35)dB and (44.53 +/- 13.15)dB preoperatively and postoperatively in TORP group. The mean improvement in air conduction was (13.52 +/- 7.81)dB. The mean ABG; were (35.67 +/- 5.73)dB and (21.48 +/- 7.01)dB preoperatively and postoperatively for TORP group. The mean improvement of hearing threshold in ABG was (14.18 +/- 7.53)dB. The difference of hearing threshold between preoperative and postoperative had statistical significance (P < 0.01). ABG less than 20 dB after operationwas happened in 68.63% of the patients (74.73% for PORP and 54.17% for TORP). There was statistically significant difference between PORP and TORP (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
We conclude that titanium ossicular reconstruction during mastoidectomy with synchronous ossiculoplasty give stable and excellent hearing results. We obtained better results with PORP than with TORP.
