BACKGROUND: Most of previous researches on the emotion regulation ability only took children as objects.There were very few studies to investigate the adolescents' emotion regulation ability.There are fewer researches tried to study over-province large sampling to get general situation of Chinese adolescents' emotion regulation ability. Very few studies have taken emotion regulation as independent factor and explored its developmental rules OBJECTIVE:To analyze the characters of grade and gender in emotion regulation ability of Chinese adolescents DESIGN:Cross-sectional sampling survey questionnaire with adolescents as subjects SETTING:Institute of Developmental Psychology of Beijing Normal University.PARTICIPANTS:Totally 11 855 students from junior and senior high schools in Beijing,Henan,Chongqing,Zhejiang and Xinjiang, 13 high schools are included.METHODS:The present study uses "the adolescents' emotion regulaPsychology Institute, Beijing Normal University) as measuring tool to grouply test with the class as a unit. The tests in the 5 districts were completed within 2 weeks. The questionnaire is a 5-point scale.The level of emotion regulation is the mean score of the 14 items. And the higher points means higher level of emotion regulation.in emotion regulation between different grades of adolescent.RESULTS:Main effect of gender is not significant (F(1.11843)=0.040,P=0.842),while main effect of grads is significant (F(5.11843)=101.437,P=0.000),and interaction effect between gender and grades is significant (F(5.11843)=3.812,P=0.002).CONCLUSION:The emotion regulation ability of adolescents increased with the increasing grade but being stable after grade 11;the girls' emotion regulation ability exceeds the boys' gradually in grade 11,and there is no difference in the emotion regulation ability between boys and girls in grade 12.

Objective To explore artifactual responses of auditory steady-state reponses (ASSRs) to bone-conduction stimuli.Methods The present study involved a group of subjects,aged between 5 to 39 months,with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing losse.Recorded were the reponses to multiple bone-conducted 0.5,1,2,4 kHz tone pips repeated at the rates of 77～101 Hz.All the subjects were sedated by Hydrate Chloride during the testing.Results Artifactual ASSRs were seen at 115 and 100.5 dB (re:1?N) (The above levels are equivalent to around 60 dB HL) at 1 and 4 kHz.No artifactual responses were recorded at 0.5 and 2 kHz stimuli at the maximum output level.Conclusion Bone-conducted hearing loss greater than moderate can not be tested reliablely due to artifactual responses and lower maximum output level than that of air conduction.

Objective To evaluate the results of the treatment and prevention measures for pathological dislocation of the hip following septic arthritis in the newborns. Methods Twenty cases undergone open reduction were studied restropectively. In addition, greater trochanterplasty was penformed in 15 cases, acetabularplasty in 14 cases, greater and lesser trochanterplasty in 2 cases. Rusults A successful rate of reduction achieved in 90％ of the patients; however, central reduction was achieved in only 38.8％ . 20 patients were followed-up for 6 months to 12 years. The stability and motility of the hip gradually improved in majority of the patients. The cases with severe destruction followed by absence of femoral head and neck had unsatisfactory results. Shortening deformity were found in six cases, and subluxation, dislocation, rigidity of the hip in one case each. Conclusion The greater trochanterplasty had a good result for reduction and maintaining the position. Early diagnosis and early open drainage were key measures for prevention of pathological dislocation of the hip resulting from the acute septic arthritis in the newborn.

Background Corneal walleye formation is a result of excessive corneal wound healing.Controlling the corneal trauma or excessive healing reaction after operation of penetrating corneal trauma is a focus in the study of corneal wound healing.Objective This study was to investigate the changes of corneal strength and the expression of keratocan,a marker of corneal stroma,after corneal penetrating injury operation,and to determine the optimal removal time of corneal suture.Methods Full-thickness incisions of 5 mm along the vertical diameter were done at the central cornea on 80 eyes of 80 six-month-old New Zealand rabbits in this study.Then the incisions were interruptedly sutured with 10-0 nylon thread to establish the corneal wound healing models.Each 4 rabbits were sacrificed in 1 week,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 weeks after operation,respectively,and the central corneal stripes were prepared with the size of 7 mm×5 mm.The mean maximal strength of the corneal bands was measured by uniaxial tensile test with electroforce3220-AT biomachanics machine.Then,each 6 whole corneas were obtained at the above time points,and the dynamic changes of keratocan mRNA expression in the specimens were detected by reverse trancription PCR (RT-PCR).The care and use of the animals followed the rules of ARVO.Results The mean maximal strength of corneal stripes was 0,(1.007 ± 0.041),(1.991 ± 0.034),(2.512 ± 0.030),(3.630 ± 0.049) and (4.935 ± 0.004)M Pa in 1 week,2,3,4,5,6 weeks after modeling,and the corneal strength values from 3 weeks through 6 weeks were significantly enhanced in comparison with the value at the adjacent before timepoint (q =6.35,7.54,8.21,5.86,all at P＜0.01).The relative expression levels (absorbance) of keratocan mRNA in the corneas were 0.869±0.015,0.779 ± 0.065,0.621 ± 0.027,0.460 ± 0.018,0.393 ± 0.057 and 0.255 ± 0.045 in 1 week,2,3,4,5,6 weeks after operation,and each value was lower than that of the adjacent before timepoint (q =5.24,5.61,7.49,4.75,5.47,all at P＜0.01).The intensity of corneal stripes and the expression levels of keratocan mRNA in the corneas were stable in 7 weeks and 8 weeks after operation.Conclusions The dynamic change of corneal strength during the repair of penetrating corneal injury is associated with the down-regulation of keratocan in cornea.Rabbit cornea reaches a maximal strength capacity in 6 weeks after penetrating injury,therefore,it is the optimal time to remove suture.

Objective To investigate the effects of high concentrations of iodide exposure on mitochondrial superoxide production,cell viability and cell damage in the thyroid of metallothionein Ⅰ/Ⅱ knockout (MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO) mice and corresponding wild type (WT) mice.Methods Thyroid cell suspension of six to eight weeks old healthy male MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO mice and WT mice were prepared.The thyroid cells were treated with high concentrations (10-4,10-3,10-2 mol/L) of potassium iodide(KI),or 10-3 mol/L hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) for 2 hours,respectively.Cell viability was evaluated with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay.Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level in cell culture medium was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Mitochondrial superoxide production in the thyroid cells was measured by flow cytometry using a fluorescent probe,mitochondrial superoxide(MitoSOX).Results Compared to the control group[(100.00 ± 0.00)％,(100.00 ± 0.00)％],the cell viability of 10-4,10-3,10-2 mol/L KI and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 exposure groups were significantly decreased in the thyroid cells of both WT [(73.63 ± 2.05)％,(72.41 ± 2.26)％,(69.63 ± 2.29)％,(44.90 ± 2.93)％] and MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO mice[(65.40 ± 2.39)％,(64.51 ± 2.27)％,(61.48 ± 2.33)％,(40.80 ± 2.76)％,all P＜ 0.05].Compared to the control group [(1 995.28 ± 30.52),(2 004.96 ± 19.71)U/L],significantly increased LDH activities were detected in the thyroid cells of WT [(2 809.22 ± 156.53),(2 850.80 ± 137.83),(2 920.45 ± 152.92),(4 487.49 ± 130.67)U/L] and MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO mice [(3 261.06 ± 120.44),(3 474.19 ± 142.15),(3 597.08 ± 150.86),(4 706.64 ± 148.57)U/L,all P ＜ 0.05].Compared to the control group (26.49 ± 7.66,37.11 ± 8.48),the MitoSOX red fluorescence intensities of 10-2 mol/L KI and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 groups were significantly increased in WT mice(58.96 ± 5.11,87.95 ± 4.25) and MT-Ⅰ/ⅡKO mice(71.21 ± 5.55,99.76 ± 4.42) by flow cytometry (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared to the thyroid cells in WT mice,significantly decreased cell viability (all P ＜ 0.05),significantly increased LDH activity(all P ＜ 0.05) and significantly increased MitoSOX red fluorescence intensity by flow cytometry (all P ＜ 0.05) were detected in the thyroid cells of MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO mice following treatment with KI or H2O2.Conclusions High concentrations of iodide (10-2 mol/L) and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 may lead to significant increase of mitochondrial superoxide production and LDH activity,decrease of cell viability in both WT and MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO mice.More significant increase of superoxide production is detected in MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO mice,indicating the potential protective role of metallothionein in the thyroid cells of WT mice.

Objective To observe the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of procalcitonin (PCT),matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in children with purulent meningitis and viral encephalitis,and evaluat the differential diagnosis value of PCT and MMP-9.Methods The clinical data of 73 patients with intracranial infection admitted to neurology of Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital from September 2014 to December 2015.Twenty-two patients with pumlent meningitis were se1ected as purulent meningitis group,51 patients with viral encephalitis as viral encephalitis group,and another 20 non-infectious convulsion children as a control group.Samples of 2 ml CSF and 3 ml venous blood from all the subjects were collected within 24 hours after admission.The levels of MMP-9 were detected by Enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and the PCT 1evels were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.The data in multiple groups were compared with analysis of variance,and by SNK-q test to carry on pairwise comparison among groups.The positive rate significance compared by Chi-square test.Linear correlation analysis was used for correlation analysis.Results Mean serum and CSF levels of PCT in the pumlent meningitis patients group were significantly higher than those in the viral encephalitis group as well as the control group (P ＜ 0.01),but the levels of serum or CSF there were no significant difference between the viral encephalitis group and the control group (P ＞ 0.05);Mean serum and CSF levels of MMP-9 in the pumlent meningitis patients group were significantly higher than those in the viral encephalitis group and control group (P ＜ 0.01),and the levels in patients with viral encephalitis were significantly higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.01);The increased percentage of the serum and CSF PCT in pumlent meningitis group were significantly higher than in viral encephalitis group (P ＜ 0.01).,but there were no significant difference for MMP-9 (P ＞ 0.05);The PCT level of serum or CSF in pumlent meningitis patients was positively correlated with MMP-9 (r =0.498,P ＜ 0.01),but there was no significant correlation in viral encephalitis group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Detection of PCT and MMP-9 level is valuable in differential diagnosis for the pumlent meningitis or viral encephalitis.

Objective To investigate the contribution of Cystatin C to the preoperative diagnosis and clinical therapy of gastroenteric tumor.Methods Using surgical materials from patients with stomach, colon and rectum cancer, immunohistochemisty, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting analysis were performed with antibodies against Cystatin C.Cystatin C of the cancerous and paired noncancerous lesions were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results (1)Immunohistochemical staining of Cystatin C was evident expression in cancer cells and associated stromal tissues, this was not the case in paired noncancerous tissues,there were also statistical relationship between the expression of Cystatin C in cancerous and that in noncancerous tissues (?~2=6.825,P

Objective To explore the feasibility of using the consensus of European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People(EWGSOP) to diagnose sarcopenia among community-dwelling women aged from seventy to seventy-nine in Shanghai.Methods Twenty-two healthy community-dwelling women were recruited as the subject group(group S),and another ten young girls were randomly selected as the control group(group C).The anthropometry,bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)and dual energy X-ray absorptionmetry(DEXA)were used to evaluate the circumferences of upper and lower limbs,and the dimension of muscle mass,according to relative appendicular skeletal mass(RASM)and skeletal muscle index(SMI).The grip dynamometer and isokinetic dynamometer were used to measure the muscle strength of upper and lower limbs.The ten meters gait speed,functional reach test,timed up and go test,Berg balance scale and short physical performance battery were all applied to assess the physical performance.The criteria of EWGSOP consensus were applied to diagnose the situation of sarcopenia.Results Firstly,the average biceps circumference and fat mass of upper limbs in group S were significantly higher than group C (P＜0.01),while no significant differences were observed in the muscle mass(P＞0.05).Secondly,RASM values gained from BIA and DEXA in S group were significantly higher than C group(P＜0.05),while the SMI values of the former were significantly lower than the latter(P＜ 0.01).Thirdly,absolute grip strength,relative grip strength and other bio-mechanical indexes of lower limbs in the s group were significantly lower than the C group(P＜0.01);the relative grip strength showed significant correlation with most bio-mechanical indexes of lower limbs.Fourthly,the physical performance in group S declined significantly compared with that of the c group(P＜O.05),and no significant correlation was found between muscle strength and physical performance of upper limbs except the absolute grip strength and gait speed.The prevalence was 0％ according to the RASM index,while the prevalence was 63.6％ and 45.4％ according to the BIA and DEXA respectively.Conclusion The assessing pattern from EWGSOP consensus could not be simply copied to applying on Chinese old people due to serious difference between RASM and SMI.The combination of SMI+relative grip strength+ TUG/SPPB/Berg may be better than the classical mode of RASM+absolute grip strength+gait speed in diagnosing sarcopenia.
