Objective To understand the current status of students' self-efficacy and sense of life meaning in medical college students, and explore the relationship between them, then give advice to improve the students' general self-efficacy and the sense of life meaning.Methods A random sampling method was used to select 386 undergraduates in a medical college from freshman to senior.The purpose in life test (PIL) revised by He Jiying (1994) and general self efficacy scale (GSES) revised by Wang Caikang (2001) were used in this research.Data were analyzed by SPSS 18.0 software, and the data were analyzed by t test, x2 test, Spearman correlation analysis.Inspection level of alpha=0.01 (double side).Results The score of GSES was (2.62 ± 0.40), and the score of PIL was (74.06 ± 11.09);t test showed that the PIL score of students with higher GSES score was higher than the PIL score of students with lower GSES score (t=5.054, P=0.000);The correlation analysis showed that GSES score was positively correlated with PIL score (r=0.283, P=0.000).Conclusion The general self-efficacy and sense of life meaning of medical college students are in the medium level, and the positive correlation exists between the two.A series of measures should be adopted to strengthen the students' general efficacy, so as to improve their sense of life.

Objective: To investigate the expression of α-B crystalline in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and discuss its role in the prognosis and targeted therapy of TNBC by analyzing the correlation amongα-B crystalline and the clinico-pathological indi-ces of breast cancer. Methods:Immunohistochemistry SP assay was used to determineα-B crystalline expression in paraffin-embedded specimens of 30 cases of TNBC and 50 cases of non-TNBC tissues. The differences in protein expressions among tissues were com-pared, and correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between protein expression and clinico-pathological indi-ces. Results:The positive expression rate ofα-B crystalline was 66.67%in TNBC (20/30) and 42.00%in non-TNBC (21/50), which in-dicates that the expression is significantly higher in TNBC than in the non-TNBC tissues (χ2=4.566, P<0.05). The expression ofα-B crystalline in breast cancer has no significant difference in terms of age, tumor diameter, and cancer stage (P>0.05), but exhibits a differ-ence in terms of lymph node metastasis and the number of metastasized lymph nodes [P53, Ki67 (P<0.05)], which presents a positive correlation (r=0.251). Theα-B crystalline expression in TNBC has no significant difference among indices such as age, tumor diameter, nodal metastasis, number of metastasis, P53, cancer stage, and Ki67 (P>0.05). Conclusion:Significant differences were found inα-B crystalline expression between TNBC and non-TNBC.α-B crystalline is highly expressed in TNBC tissues, and the expression is signif-icantly higher in TNBC tissues than that in non-TNBC tissues.α-B crystalline is associated with poor prognosis of breast cancer. Conse-quently, the overexpression ofα-B crystalline in TNBC may be a reason for unfavorable TNBC prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and significance of IgG-anti-cyclic citrullinated pep-tides (CCP) antibody in PSS patients .Methods:A total of 120 patients diagnosed with PSS were investi-gated in the first affiliated hospital of Baotou Medical College from March 2006 to December 2009.IgG-anti-CCP antibody was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), also anti-Sj?gren’s syn-drome type A ( SSA) and Sj?gren’ s syndrome type B ( SSB) antibody were assayed by immunoblotting . Erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR ) was assayed by westergren in serum , and C reactive protein (CRP), IgA, IgM, IgG and IgM-RF were detected by immune turbidimetric .At the same time, clinical symptoms and involvement of important organs were observed .Following up the patients above 3 years, the primary Sj?gren’ s syndrome ( PSS) patients who had progressed to rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) were evaluated .Results:The positive rate of anti-CCP antibody in the PSS patients was 19 .17%; After 3 years, more patients who were positive for anti-CCP antibody had progressed to RA (χ2 =5.015,P=0.022) than the patients in negative group;The patients in anti-CCP antibody positive group were more prone to joint involvement (χ2 =8.058,P<0.05), more swollen joints (U=152.00,P<0.05) and longer morning stiffness (U=100.00,P<0.05) than the patients with negative anti-CCP antibody, but the involvement of vital organs in the two groups had no significant difference (χ2 =0.208,0.099,0.000 and 0.122,P>0.05); The positive rate of anti-SSA and SSB antibody in anti-CCP antibody positive group and negative group had no significant difference (χ2 =0.008 and 0.56,P>0.05);Multiple linear regression showed that the level of anti-CCP antibody was positively correlated with IgM-RF levels in the PSS patients (B=0.61, 95%CI =0.36 -0.86, P<0.05), but had no significant correlation with ESR, CRP, IgA, IgM and IgG levels (P>0.05).There were no significant differences in the level of ESR, CRP, IgA, IgM and IgG between anti-CCP antibody positive group and negative group ( P >0.05), but the level of IgM-RF in anti-CCP antibody positive group was significantly higher than that in the negative group (U=623.50, P<0.05).Conclusion:Positive rate of IgG-anti-CCP antibody in PSS is 19 .17%, also it is associated with joint involvement and more prone to progressing to RA .

Objective To investigate the detection rate of anti-SSA60 and SSB antibodies in sera of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).The correlation of anti-SSA and SSB antibodies with SLE clinical outcome was also investigated.Methods This study included 251 cases of SLE diagnosed in our hospital between 2007 and 2010.ELISA and double immunodiffusion method was used to detect the sera antiSSA60 and SSB antibodies.The patients were closely monitored for three years in terms of clinical and laboratory parameters and the presence of associated Sj(o)gren' s syndrome (SS).Statistical analysis were performed using student t test or x2 test.Results ① The detection rate of anti-SSA60 antibody in serum of patients with SLE was 65.3％.The detection rate of anti-SSB antibody in serum of patients with SLE was 28.3％; ② During the three-year follow up,patients with anti-SSA60 (29.3％,48 cases) or SSB antibodies (35.2％,25 cases) were more likely to have dry mouth and eyes and later developed SS (P＜0.05); ③ Patients with anti-SSA60 antibody were more likely to develop serositis (20.7％ vs 8.0％),neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus (NPLE)(18.9％ vs 8.0％),and hematuria (35.4％ vs 21.8％)(P＜0.05).Patients with negative anti-SSB antibody were more likely to have fever (43.7％ vs 57.8％,x2=4.082,P＜0.05); ④ Patients positive for anti-SSB antibody were also positive for anti-Sm antibody (50.7％ vs 32.8％,x2=6.956,P＜0.05);⑤ Younger patients were more likely to have anti-SSA60 and SSB antibodies in their sera (P＜0.05); ⑥Patients positive for anti-SSA60 antibody had higher SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) than patients with negative anti-SSA60 antibody [(17±9) vs (15±7),t=2.389,P＜0.05].Patients positive for anti-SSB antibody had higher level of IgG [(18±7) vs (16±6) g/L,t=2.304,P=0.023],and lower level of CRP than patients negative for anti-SSB antibody [(14±20) vs (21±33) mg/L,t=-2.173,P=0.031].Conclusion Patients positive for anti-SSA60 antibody have higher SLEDAI and more severe clinical outcomes.Patients with antiSSA or anti-SSB antibody are more likely to develop dry mouth and eyes which eventually leads to SS.

Objective To investigate the bactericidal mechanism of electrolyzed oxidizing water (EOW) against Pseudomona aeruginosa (P.aeruginosa).Methods Bactericidal mechanism of EOW against P.aeruginosa was studied through intracellular protein leakage,nucleic acid,and cell membrane calcium ion permeability,2 ％ glutaraldehyde was used as positive control group,and normal saline (NS) was used as negative control group.Results The killing rates of EOW and 2％ glutaraldehyde to P.aeruginosa were both＞99.99％ with 30-second contact time,and 100.00％ with 60-second contact time.After 60-second contact with EOW,NS,and 2％ glutaraldehyde,the protein leakage of P.aeruginosa detected by bicinchoninic acid (BCA) were (96.00 ± 7.42),(94.15 ± 7.49),and (216.97 ± 10.35)μg/mL,respectively,difference was significant(F =613.20,P＜0.01),2％ glutaraldehyde group was higher than EOW group and NS group;protein leakage did not change with the increase of contact time(all P＞0.05).Electrophoretogram of random amplified polymorphic DNA showed high intensity dense band between 500-1000 Kb in EOW group and NS group,while 2％ glutaraldehyde group was without amplified bands.The fluorescence intensity of calcium ion of EOW group and 2％ glutaraldehyde group were both lower than that of NS group.Conclusion Bactericidal mechanism of EOW may be due to the damage of membrane permeability of P.aeruginosa,which causes Ca2+ leakage,but fails to cause protein leakage,the damage to nucleic acid is not obvious,DNA may not be a bactericidal target of EOW.

Objective:To study the relationship between the expression of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and the clinico-pathological indexes of breast cancer, investigate the correlation between HSP27 and the fatty acid syn-thetase (FAS)/fatty acid synthetase ligand (FASL) of the cell apoptosis system in the Fas/Fasl system, and study the role of HSP27 in the invasion and metastasis of TNBC. Methods:The immunohistochemical S-P method was used to detect the expression of HSP27 and (FAS)/(FASL) in 100 TNBS tissue sampres, 100 non-TNBS tissue sampres, and 50 paraneoplastic tissues. This method was also used to analyze the correlations between the expression of HSP27 and the clinical and pathological indexes of TNBC, as well as be-tween the HSP27 expression and FAS/FASL expression. Results: HSP27 expression was significantly higher in TNBC than in the non-TNBC and paraneoplastic tissues (P<0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in the FAS/FASL expression in the TNBC, non-TNBC, and paraneoplastic tissues (P<0.05). HSP27 expression had a negative correlation with FAS expression (P<0.05). HSP27 expression was positively correlated with FASL expression (P<0.05). FAS expression had a negative correlation with FASL ex-pression (P<0.05). HSP27 expression in TNBC was not correlated with age, staging, and tumor size (P>0.05), whereas HSP27 expres-sion was correlated with lymph node metastasis, number of nodal metastases, and P53 and Ki67 expression (P<0.05). Conclusion:The overexpression of HSP27 and the expression dysregulation of the FAS/FASL system may play a role in promoting TNBC transfer and invasion, cell proliferation, and poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of spontaneous agonal respiration on coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) during untreated cardiac arrest (ventricular fibrillation) in swine model.Methods Ten male healthy domestic swines (25.0 ± 1.5) kg were anaesthetised,intubated and mechanically ventilated.The catheterizations were separately inserted into the right atrium and thoracic aorta to monitor aortic pressure (AOP) and right atrial pressure (RAP).A pacing electrode was inserted into the right ventricle to induce ventricular fibrillation (VF).VF was induced by intra-ventricular stimulation withalternating electric current and untreated for 8 minutes.AOP and RAP were recorded until respiratory activity ceased.The CPP before and after agonal respiration was calculated and analyzed by paired-sample T test.Results All animals presented with agonal respiration from 1 to 6 minutes after VF during the first attempt.The CPP was (7.18 ±4.22) mmHg at 1 sec before agonal respiration,(11.78 ±5.16) mmHg at 0 sec after agonal respiration,(8.75 t:4.38) mmHg at 5 sec after agonal respiration and (8.23 ± 4.55)mmHg at 6 sec after agonal respiration.The CPP at 0 sec after agonal respiration was higher than that before agonal respiration (t =-3.140,P =0.012).The CPP at 5 sec after agonal respiration was higher than that at 1 sec before agonal respiration (t =-2.828,P =0.020).There was no difference in CPP between at 6 sec after agonal respiration and at 1 sec before agonal respiration (t =-1.778,P =0.109).Conclusions Agonal respiration accompanies ventricular fibrillation.After agonal respiration,the coronary perfusion pressure is increased for 5 seconds being in favor of cardiaopulmonary resuscitation.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign epithelial tumor of odontogenic origin. CEOT is a benign but a locally infiltrative tumor. CEOT has two clinical variants: intraosseous (central) CEOT and extraosseous (peripheral) CEOT. The peripheral type is rare. In this paper, we report two cases of CEOT. The diagnoses of the cases were verified by histopathology. This study aims to explore the clinical and imaging appearances of CEOT and improve the understanding of the disease.
