Objective:To explore the moderating effect of self-differentiation between life events and coping styles. Methods:Totally 584 college freshmen from Beijing and Jiangsu were selected to fill in the Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check-list (ASLEC),Differentiation of Self Inventory(DSI)and Simplified Coping Style Ques-tionnaire (SCSQ). Results:Self-differentiation had a moderating effect between life events and coping styles. The predicting effect of life events on negative coping was 0. 03 in the higher self-differentiation group (P>0. 05 ) while in the lower self-differentiation group,it was 0. 27 (P<0. 00 1 ). Conclusion:It suggests that higher self-differ-entiation could relieve the negative effect of life events to coping styles.

Depression is an affective disorder with high prevalence. high suicide rate and low treatment rate. its neurobiologi-cal mechanism remains unclear. Most of current first-line antidepressants are based on the "monoamine hypothesis", including monoamine reuptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors and monoamine receptor ligand drugs. Although their therapeutic effect is definite, there are still serious defects. such as low response and delayed onset. It has been widely confirmed that depression is closely related to low serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) neurotransmission function (classical monoamine hypothesis), while modern monoamine theory suggests that the adaptability and plasticity regulation of 5-HT and its autoreceptors (such as 5-HT1A) are closely related to the treatment of depression. There are a series of new progress in recent years in the studies of 5-HT transporter proteins and 5-HT receptors, such as the positive role of S allele of the 5-HT transporter chain area in emotion and cognition, and the discoveries of the pharmacological basement of some new 5-HT-related receptor antagonists or agonists. There are also important breakthroughs in sero-tonineigic drug research and development (such as vilazodone, which approved by the US FDA in 2011, is a dual-target drug of 5-HT1A partial agonist and 5-HT reuptake inhibitor). In this review, the recent research progress on the relationship of 5-HT neuromodulation and depression is summarized. © 2006 Editorial office of Foreign Medical Sciences.

Objective To evaluate Chinese rural children's blood lead levels (BLLs) and identify its distribution features and to provide data for policy development to the prevention of rural environmental lead pollution. Methods The papers on rural children's BLLs published from 1994 to Oct, 2008 were collected by using CNKI's (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) Chinese Journal Full-test Database and other ways. The papers which were eligible for the following criteria were reviewed:(1) BLLs measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy (graphite or others) or inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry; (2) strict quality control; (3) no local lead pollution sources in the areas where the screened subjects live in; (4) children aged from 0 to 14 years old; (5)sample size more than 40. Results Analysis on the included 32 papers indicated that, the mean BLLs of Chinese rural children between 1994 and 2008 was 74.93 ?g/L ( range:41.14-193.54 ?g/L)and 19.32%( range:2.2%-43%) of the subjects had BLLs higher than 100 ?g/L. The rural children’s BLLs changed from 87.53 ?g/L to 71.16 ?g/L after the use of lead free gasoline in 2000 in China, which were both lower than the general children's BBLs before 2000 and after 2001. The children in Beijing city and Shandong province showed the highest mean BLLs , with 99.16 ?g/L and 92.13 ?g/L respectively; while the children in Jilin province and Hebei province showed the lowest levels, with 41.14 ?g/L and 56.14 ?g/L respectively. The comprehensive analysis of 18 papers indicated that the mean BLLs in rural areas and urban areas were 77.90 ?g/L and 87.24 ?g/L respectively ( u=3.73, P

Objective:To observe the effect of two different apical surgery timing. Methods:68 patients with periapical lesion were divided into 2 groups. 30 patients( control group) were operated by apical surgery at least 1-2 months after root canal therapy( RCT) , while 38 patients(experimental group) were operated immediately after RCT. The patients were followed up 3, 6 and 12 months after apical surgery. Results:The curative effect analysed with the age, sex and tooth position showed no statistical difference between 2 groups(P>0. 05). Conclusion:Immediate and delayed apical surgery apical surger after RCT are similarly effective.

Objective To observe the correlation between contrast-enhanced sonography and microveesel density (MVD) in peripheral lung tumor.Methods Contrast-enhanced sonography was performed in 55 patients with peripheral lung tumor.Among of them,malignant tumor was 40 cases,benign tumor was 15 cases.Analyzed the quantitative parameters (peak intensity,enhanced strength index) by using time-intensity curve (TIC) with computer.MVD was measured by immunohistochemistry after operation.Results The level of MVD in malignant tumor was significantly higher than that in benign tumor [(24.57 ± 5.93)/HP vs.(15.50 ± 2.82)/HP] (P ＜ 0.05).The level of MVD had significant correlation with peak intensity and enhanced strength index (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The peak intensity and enhanced strength index have significant correlation with MVD.They are valuable indexes in evaluating angiogenesis in peripheral lung tumor.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug-resistance rate of strains isolated from nosocomial infection patients with Acinetobacter spp.METHODS A total of 198 patients with Acinetobacter spp nosocomial infection were studied retrospectively from 2003 to 2005.The antibiotic resistance profiles were specifically analyzed.RESULTS The strains of Acinetobacter spp were mainly isolated from sputum(74.75%) and wound secretion(11.61%) specimens.There were no significant differences in the resistance of Acinetobacter spp against antibiotics in 3 years except piperacillin/tazobactam and meropenem.The resistance rate of all 198 strains to 13 kinds of antibiotics were as following:imipenem/cilastatin 2.53%,meropenem 2.02%,cefoperazone/sulbactam 30.81%,piperacillin/tazobactam 38.38%,amikacin 53.54%,cefepime 61.11%,levofloxacin 66.67%,ceftazidime 66.16%,ciprofloxacin 68.69%,gentamicin 67.68%,sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim 63.64%,piperacillin 70.72%,and aztreonam 85.35%.CONCLUSIONS It is indicated that Acinetobacter spp are highly resistant to the common antibiotics,but still sensitive to imipenem/cilastatin and meropenem.

Objective To study the clinical application of quantitative ultrasound(QUS) which evaluate skeletal status of children and adolescents.Methods Subjects were children and adolescents aged 0-18 years old.Tibia/radial bone strength was obtained using QUS.Children who were younger than 2 years old only were measured at midpiece of tibia,and children who were older than 2 years old were measu-red at midpiece of tibia and radius.At the same time,calcium in peripheral blood was measured by the method of atomic absorption.Results 1.Radial and tibial bone strength presented nonlinear growth with age in healthy children and adolescents.2.Bone strengths of different anatomic-sites were different and the disparity rate of evaluation at different anatomic sites was 30.1%.3.The bone strength of the children who had some risk factors that could induce decrease of bone strength or had some diseases of bone metabolism was lower than healthy children.Composition of low bone strength children was 71.1% in high risk children,and was 47.9% in those who had some symptom or physical sign of calcium deficiency.4.Composition of low bone strength children was 44.2% in those who had normal peripheral blood calcium,and composition of normal bone strength children in those who had low peripheral blood calcium was 59.7%.The 2 methods had no correlation.Conclusions QUS is a quite useful technique in evaluation skeletal status of children and adolescents,and is sensitive for high risk children.It is necessary to measure radius and tibia,and consider blood calcium and bone strength to evaluate practical level of calcium and nutritional state of children.
