BACKGROUND: The population of male and female adolescents in China accounts for 1/5. Adolescents have much psychological bewilderment,troublesome and even diseases on sexual issues.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the development status quo and the regulation of adolescents' sexual physiology, sexual psychology, sexual knowledge and sexual education.DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey by employing students of junior high school as subjects.SETTING: A clinic for adolescent of a tertiary hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 960 students aged between 14 and 19 years old of three junior high schools in Dalian city were selected as subjects between November and December of 2001.METHODS: Self-complied questionnaire was used in the survey based on the sexual psychological education situation scale for junior and senior high school students. Classes were randomly selected for anonymous survey based on voluntary principle.Answers to sex-related questions and differences between male and female students.RESULTS: The average age of menarche in female students was 12.96years old and the average age of first emission in male students was 13.89years old, which were consistent with the results of similar national researches. The incidence and frequency of masturbation and sexual impulse was significantly higher in males than females. There were significant differences in sexual concept and the understanding of sexual knowledge between males and females. The desire to affiliate with the opposite sex was far more than the real occurrence.CONCLUSION: The understanding of sexual knowledge in adolescent is not satisfied. Students are also not satisfied with the sexual education provided by their schools. Hence, school sexual education for adolescents should be enhanced with the involvement of community.

Objective To investigate the effect of lower limb rehabilitation training robot combined with task-oriented training on walking ability after stroke. Methods From February 2014 to August 2015,74 consecutive patients with post-stroke who received rehabilitation therapy and met the inclusion criteria admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University were collected prospectively. They were all the patients with the first-ever stroke for 1 to 12 months. They were divided into either an observation group (n = 39)or a control group (n = 35)according to whether they were treated with the lower-limb rehabilitation robot. The patients of both groups received task-oriented training,2 times a day,once for 20 min,5 days a week for 12 weeks. The observation group was also treated with the lower-limb rehabilitation training robot,1 time a day,once for 30 min,5 days a week. Berg balance scale,Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA),timed up-and-go test (TUG)and knee flexion active range of motion (KFAROM)were used to assess the efficacy. Results (1)After treatment,the Berg scale and FMA scale scores were increased in the observation group and the control group compared with before treatment. There was significant difference (Berg scale:28 ±9 vs. 22 ±9,29 ±9 vs. 24 ±9;FMA scores:47 ± 8 vs. 36 ± 8,40 ± 6 vs. 36 ± 7;all P < 0. 01),however,there was no significant difference between the two groups (P <0. 05),and there was significant difference in FMA scores between the 2 groups (P < 0. 01 ). The differences of Berg scale scores in the observation group and the control group were 10. 75 + 0. 30 and 4. 71 + 0. 14 respectively before and after treatment. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups (t = 0. 95,P = 0. 345). The differences of FMA scores in the observation group and the control group were 5. 8 ±0. 6 and 4. 9 ±0. 8 before and after treatment (t =5. 16,P <0. 01). (2)After treatment,the tug test and KFAROM of the observation group and the control group were better than those before treatment. There were significant differences (TUG test:35 ± 13 s vs. 56 ± 18 s,53 ± 17 s vs. 58 ± 18 s;KFAROM:82 ± 24° vs. 60 ± 23°,63 ± 23° vs. 57 ± 26°;all P < 0. 01),and there were significant differences between the 2 groups (all P < 0. 01). The differences of the TUG test in the observation group and the control group before and after treatment were 21. 5 ± 5. 0 and 4. 6 ± 0. 6 s respectively. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (t = 9. 55,P < 0. 01);the differences of KFAROM in the observation group and control group before and after treatment were 5.8 ±0.6° vs. 4.9 ±0.8° respectively. There was significant differences between the 2groups (t =4.17,P <0. .01). Conclusion Lower limb rehabilitation training robot combined with task-oriented training may improve the lower extremity motor function,walking ability,knee flexion joint activity of the patients after stroke,but the improvement effect of the lower limb balance is not obvious.

Methods 186 singleton pregnancies cases of inpatient and outpatient diagnosed with simple polyhydramnios were divided into three groups with a two-dimensional semi-quantitative method ,separate amniotic fluid index (AFI)> 20cm (A group) ,separate maxi-mum amnionic fluid volume(AFV)>8 cm(B group) ,AFI≥20 cm and AFV≥8 cm(C group) ,and the changes were dynamically monitored .Results Occurrence rates of persistent polyhydramnios and fetal malformations in C group was higher than in the other two groups ,and the difference showed no statistical significance(P<0 .05);No correlation was found between recurrent polyhydr-amnios and fetal malformation among these three groups(P>0 .05);Among the 84 .4% of simple polyhydramnios ,no fetal malfor-mation was found .Conclusion Ultrasound diagnosis of simple polyhydramnios shows clinical value in assessment of fetal malfor-mation ,fetal outcome ,perinatal morbidity and prognosis ,and is good for prenatal counseling and treatment .

Objective To optimize the technology conditions of ultrasonic-enzyme-assisted extraction for sanguinarine from Zanthoxylum nitidum.Methods Extraction rate of sanguinarine determined by HPLC was served as an index.The applicability of the extraction solvent added with acid and enzymatic hydrolysis pretreatment to the ultrasonic-enzyme-assisted extraction of Zanthoxylum nitidum was investigated.Ultrasonic power,extraction frequency and solvent volume were optimized by orthogonal experiment.Finally,ultrasonic extraction time was optimized in dynamic process.Results The optimal process was as follows:Zanthoxylum nitidum powder was extracted 3 times by ultrasonic-wave (250 W) with 40％ ethanol (0.2％hydrochloride) as solvent (extracted for 15 rmin with 6-fold solvent at the first time,then extracted for 12 min with 3-fold solvent at the second and the third time,respectively).The extraction rate of sanguinarine was 88.6％.Conclusion The process is economic,efficient,energy-and time-saving,and provides experimental basis for industrial production of sanguinarine.

The stability of the intraocular lens ( IOL ) after cataract surgery is composed of decentration, tilt, rotation, and the change of anterior chamber depth. Its stability is an important factor affecting postoperative visual quality. By analyzing the related factors which influence the stability of intraocular lens, improvements can be identified for future cataract operations. The stability of intraocular lens is influenced by many factors: intraocular structure, the size and the symmetry of intraoperative capsulorhexis, the position of the intraocular lens, the material and design of the intraocular lens, etc. In order to improve the patient's vision, cataract surgeries have been experiencing an evolution. IOL material have also been contributing to such innovations.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of leptin receptor (OBR) and phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (p-STAT3) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods Immunohistochemical analysis was used to detect the expression of OBR and p-STAT3 in 80 patients with DLBCL and 10 patients with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH).Using a panel of immunohistochemical markers (CD10,bcl-6 and Mum-1),all cases of DLBCL were further divided into two groups,GCB (germinal center B-cell-like) or non-GCB.Results Immunohistochemistry revealed high expression of OBR and p-STAT3 in 45.0 ％ (36/80) and 28.8 ％ (23/80) cases of DLBCL,respectively,and minimal straining in 100.0 ％ (10/10) cases of RLH (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with GCB group (8.7 ％,2/23),non-GCB group had higher p-STAT3 high expression rate (36.8 ％,21/57) (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression of OBR between these two groups.Compared with clinical stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ [46.2 ％ (18/39) and 25.6 ％ (10/39)],stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ had higher OBR and p-STAT3 high expression rate [61.9 ％ (13/21) and 38.1％ (8/21)] (P ＞ 0.05).The expression of OBR and p-STAT3 were not correlated with age,gender,extranodal infiltrations,LDH level,B-symptoms and IPI(international prognostic index)(P ＞ 0.05).The expression of OBR was positively related with that of p-STAT3 in DLBCL patients (r =0.232,P =0.039).Conclusion OBR could stimulate the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and induces the phosphorylation of STAT3.This may be involved in carcinogenesis and prognosis of DLBCL.
