Objective To explore the characteristics of community empty-nesters sleep quality and psychological defense mechanism,and the correlation between them.Methods 230 empty-nest elderly and 181 nonempty nesters were assessed with Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Defense style questionnaire (DSQ).Results PSQI score of empty-nest ehlerly was (14.33±2.48),higher than that of non-empty nesters(t=17.857,P＜0.01).Factor score of immature psychological defense style in DSQ was (3.92± 1.20),for the mediate defense style was (4.49± 1.11),for the wrapping factor was (3.38± 1.92).All of them were higher than the scores for nonempty nesters,and the differences were statistically significant (t=4.463,6.937,5.404,P＜0.01).Factor score for mature psychological defense style in DSQ was (3.96±1.45),and lower than the score for non-empty nesters(t=7.472,P＜0.01).hnmature defense mechanism of empty-nest elderly was positively related with subjective sleep quality,sleep continuity,sleep disorders,using sleep medicine,dysfunction in the daytime,and the total score in PSQ1 (r=0.533,0.145,0.605,0.521,0.497,0.734).Mature defense mechanism was negative related with sleep latency,sleep continuity,and the total score in PSQI (r=-0.129,-0.542,-0.104).The mediate defense meehanism was positively related with subjective sleep quality,sleep latency and the total score in PSQI (r=0.186,0.294,0.131),while negative related with sleep efficiency(r=-0.188).The wrapping factor had a positive correlation with subjective sleep quality,using sleep medicine and the total score in PSQI (r=0.440,0.431,0.564).Conclusion Empty-nesters tend to adopt immature defense styles,and most of them have a poor sleeping,which are closely related with each other.

Hypoxia is an inherent feature of the majority of solid tumors,which can increase the resistance of tumor cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy,promote tumor angiogenesis and lead to poor prognosis.Therefore,targeting the hypoxic tumor cells has become a spot in cancer therapy.Bioreduction drugs can be activated by a specific reduction to become cytotoxic metabolites,thus killing hypoxic tumor cells,while small molecular targeting inhibitors can selectively act on the key point of hypoxia pathway.They have paved a new way for hypoxia targeted therapy.

Objective To study the effect of elemene on transcription factor ELK1 and its target gene in human cervix cancer Hela cell. Methods The cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. The luciferase activity of transcription factor ELK1 was determined by the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System. The protein expression of phosphorated ELK1 and its target gene c-fos were determined by Western Blot. Results Elemene can remarkably inhibited the growth of Hela cell and its IC50 was 80.6 ?g/mL. The luciferase activity of transcription factor ELK1 in Hela cells treated with elemene was inhibited. The protein expression of phosphorated ELK1 and its target gene c-fos in Hela cells treated with elemene were down-regulated. Conclusion Elemene can inhibit human cervix cancer Hela cell proliferation,which may be related with suppression of c-fos gene through inhibiting expression of phosphorated ELK1.

Objective To study the angiographic anatomic characteristics of renal arteries in Chinese.Methods Selective renal angiography was performed immediately after coronary artery angiography in(1?057) Chinese patients,including 702 males and 355 females.The mean age of them were 59.3?8.3 years.Six French JR4 catheters were used via transfemoral approach.Three to five milliliters nonionic contrast media were injected manually into each renal artery and cine pictures were taken at an anterior-posterior view.Results A single-renal-artery was found in most of the patients(87.23% at the left side and 89.97% at the right side).In the others,two or even more independent renal arteries were found at one or both sides.Most of the renal arteries (87.79% at the left side and 91.20% at the right side) originated between the upper third of the first lumbar vertebra and the upper third of the second lumbar vertebra.The right renal artery ostium was located superior to the left one in 45.13% of the cases.In the other 45.41% of them,renal artery ostia of both sides were at a same level.Conclusion Anatomic variations in the number and origin of renal arteries are not nare in Chinese.Understanding the angiographic anatomic characteristics of renal artery would be useful for renal artery interventions.

Radioactive esophagitis is one of the most common complications in thoracic tumor radiotherapy,biological factors such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs),miRNAs,and HIV infection may play key roles in the occurrence and development of radioactive esophagitis,and they have become an active field in protection areas of radiotherapy.We can identify the patients who may cause radioactive esophageal in high dose radiotherapy as early as possible,and modify the treatment plan to protect the esophagus.Therefore the biological factors of radioactive esophagitis are of important clinical significance.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction technology of Baiyi rectal solution. METHODS:The effects of water amount and extraction time on extraction technology were investigated by central composite design-response surface method using OD value of berberine hydrochloride and ferulic acid and the extract yield as index. Validation test was also conducted. RESULTS:The optimal extraction technology was as 11-fold water,decocting 70 min for the first time;5-fold water,decocting 30 min for the second time. In validation test,OD value of first extraction was 0.940 0,and the bias between observed and predicted values was -2.07%;that of second extraction was 0.851 8,and the bias was -2.41%. CONCLUSIONS:The extraction technology of Baiyi rectal solution is reasonable,feasible and suitable for industrial production.

Objective To explore the imaging characteristics of seminomas and nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT) and its pathological foundation. Methods CT and MR imaging manifestations in 25 cases of testicular germ cell tumors proved by pathological examinations were analyzed retrospectively. All tumors were divided into seminomas group (12 cases) and NSGCT group (13 cases). In the seminomas group, 5 cases were examined by CT and 4 of those also had contrast enhanced CT. Seven cases had MRI and 4 of those had dynamic enhanced MRI. In the NSGCT group, 5 were examined by plain CT in which two were by contrast enhanced CT, eight were by MRI in which 4 were by dynamic enhanced MRI. CT or MRI characteristics (morphology, density or intensity, enhancement) in both groups were analyzed by Fisher test. Results Histological examination revealed 25 intratesticular lesions. In 12 seminomas, 10 showed a nodular/lobulated shape, 5 showed a mixed density or intensity. In 13 NSGCT, only one lesion showed a lobular shape, 11 showed a mixed density or intensity. Seven seminomas showed a low signal on T2WI on MRI while only two NSGCT showed this sign. In four lesions underwent dynamic MRI scanning, 3 showed fibrous septum enhancement while no lesions in NSGCT showed this sign. The occurrence rate of the above imaging characteristics in both group was significantly different (P<0.05). Conclusion Seminomas and NSGCT may have their own CT and MRI characteristics, which may be of great value for differential diagnosis .

Objective In order to observe the role of genetically modified Schwann cell (SC) with pSVPoMcat in the regeneration of injured spinal cord.Method The cells were implanted into the spinal cord.Ninety SD rats were used to establish a model of hemi- transection of spinal cord at the level of T8,and were divided into three groups,randomly, that is,pSVPoMcat modified SC implantation(Group A), SC implantation(Group B),and without cell implantation as control(Group C).After three months the presence of axonal regeneration of the injured spinal cord was examined by means of horseradish peroxidase(HRP)retrograde labeling technique and stereography.Result The results indicated that HRP labeled cells in Group A and B could be found in the superior region of injured spinal cord and the brain stem such as the red nuclei and oculomotor nuclei. The density of ventral horn neurons of the spinal cord and the number of myelinated axons in 100 μ m of the white matter was A >B >C group.Conclusion In brief,the pSVPoMcat modified SC intraspinal implantation could promote regeneration of the injured spinal cord.
