Objective To explore the moderating or mediating effects of life-meaning between optimism and suicide risk in undergraduates.Methods A total of 1310 college students from one Chinese university completed a survey that included Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R),the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) and the Chinese meaning in life questionnaire (C-MLQ).Results The total scores of SBQ-R,LOT-R and C-MLQ of undergraduate were (5.04 ± 2.28),(11.22 ± 2.07) and (37.22 ± 5.22),respectively.Optimism had significant negative correlation with suicide risk (r =-0.22,P ＜ 0.01),and positive correlation with life-meaning (r=0.28,P＜0.01).Life-meaning had significant negative correlation with suicide risk (r=-0.18,P＜0.01).The life-meaning's moderating effects between optimism and suicide risk were not significant(P ＞ 0.05),while the relationship between optimism and suicide risk was mediated by life-meaning,and the mediating effect was 0.07,which accounted for 17％ of the total effects.Conclusion Life-meaning doesnt morderating effect,but partially mediates the relationship between optimism and suicide risk.

This paper introduces the development and application of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scales in research on coronary heart disease (CHD). Currently, the scales for CHD patients have been more systematically developed and widely used in foreign countries, while domestically in China, they are developed successfully but problematically; research in this field has started later and the scales introduced are limited and not suitable for the entire range of domestic CHD patients. Thus, this paper introduces 26 HRQOL scales in research on CHD, including five generic scales, ten disease-specific scales from abroad and eleven scales originating from China. With the deficiency of HRQOL scales, especially that in traditional Chinese medicine and specific scales, this paper analyzes and summarizes the problems existing in development of scales. The authors also provide solutions in order to help the development and application of scales in further studies.

Objective:Under the new development of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment technology, the relationship between nuclear morphology and different clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer was analyzed, and its clinical significance was evaluated.Methods:In TCGA (the Cancer Genome Atlas) BRCA (fast invasive carcinoma) data, 443 patients were divided into three groups according to the nuclear morphology: ⑴ the nuclear size and morphology were basically normal; ⑵ the nuclear size slightly increased; ⑶ the nuclear size slightly increased or the difference was obvious. Practical clinicopathological features including American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor stage, AJCC tumor score, AJCC lymph node score, estrogen receptor (ER) status by immunohistochemistry (IHC), progesterone receptor (PR) status by IHC, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status by IHC and PAM50 subtypes are compared among groups defined by nuclear size. And nuclear size related morphometric parameters, including nuclear area, perimeter, roundness, width and height, are subsequently retrieved in 132 samples and analyzed for their relationship with clinicopathological features.Results:The nuclear size in breast cancer tissues was significantly correlated with survival, especially disease-free survival ( P=0.039). Other clinicopathological parameters, except AJCC T stage ( P=0.006), the immunohistochemical results of molecular markers ER ( P=0.002), PR ( P=0.047) and molecular typing of PAM50 ( P<0.001) were not significantly associated with the nuclear size of cancer tissues. The area, perimeter, roundness, length and width were correlated with each other; the roundness was the most stable parameter and negatively correlated with other parameters; the perimeter was the most sensitive index for identification, while roundness was not. Conclusions:Our research indicates that nuclear size, especially nuclear morphometric parameter, perimeter, provides a valuable clinicopathological index, which is useful not only in differentiating breast cancer cells from normal cells, but in differentiating molecular subtypes.

Objective:To establish and validate a predictive model for treatment failure of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis(PDAP)in elderly patients.Methods:Clinical data of peritoneal dialysis(PD)patients who were followed up from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2019 at four Grade A tertiary hospitals in Jilin Province were collected.A total of 362 elderly patients with PDAP were eventually included as study subjects.Subjects recruited from 2013 to 2017 were used for model construction and the logistic regression model was used to screen risk factors for treatment failure of PDAP in elderly patients.A nomogarm was constructed to predict treatment failure of secondary PDAP using R language.The receiver operating curve(ROC)and calibration curve were used to evaluate discrimination accuracy of the model.Subjects from 2018 to 2019 were used as the cohort for validation of discrimination accuracy of the model.Results:Of 258 PDAP patients in the modeling cohort, 29 experienced treatment failure, including 15 PDAP-related deaths and 14 cases requiring catheter removal.The multivariate logistic regression model showed that types of pathogens( OR=8.849, 95% CI: 1.656-47.269, P=0.011), long dialysis age( OR=1.023, 95% CI: 1.005-1.042, P=0.013), pre-hospitalization antibiotic treatment( OR=5.123, 95% CI: 1.338-19.610, P=0.017), and dialysate white blood cell count on day 5>100×10 6/L( OR=7.085, 95% CI: 2.162-23.217, P=0.001)were independent risk factors for treatment failure of PDAP in elderly patients.For the nomogarm predictive model, the areas under the ROC curve(AUC)in the modeling cohort and the validation cohort were 0.818(95% CI: 0.735-0.902)and 0.762(95% CI: 0.656-0.889), respectively, and the calibration curves were close to a straight line with a slope of 1. Conclusions:Our nomogram predictive model based on types of pathogens, months of dialysis, pre-hospital admission antibiotic treatment, and dialysate white blood cell count on day 5 has demonstrated satisfactory discrimination accuracy for treatment failure of PDAP in elderly patients.

Objective:To study and verify the molecular mechanism of Duzhong Pills for osteoporosis (OP) by means of network pharmacology and molecular docking.Methods:The main chemical components of Duzhong Pills were mined by TCMSP database and the related targets were predicted. The potential targets of osteoporosis in GeneCards, DisGeNET and OMIM databases were searched and the common targets of both were obtained. The STRING platform was used for protein interaction analysis and PPI network diagram was made. The common targets were imported into the David database for enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG pathways, and molecular docking of the main components and core targets was performed. Eighteen Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group, model group and Duzhong Pills group according to random number table method, with 6 rats in each group. Ovariectomy was used to make osteoporosis model in model group and Duzhong Pills group. Duzhong Pills group was intragaxed with Duzhong Pills extract of 5 g/kg, and control group and model group were intragaxed with normal saline of the same volume, once a day for 8 weeks. Serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β were detected by ELISA, and femur PI3K and Akt were detected by Western blot.Results:34 active components were obtained from Duzhong Pills, corresponding to 243 targets, and 1 059 targets for osteoporosis. The core targets included TNF-α, IL-6, AKT1, TP53, IL-1β and others regulated osteoporosis through PI3K-Akt and TNF pathway. The experimental results indicated that compared with model group, the levels of serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in Duzhong Pills group decreased ( P<0.05), and the expressions of PI3K and Akt in femur decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Through β-sitosterol, quercetin, kaempferol and other active components, Duzhong Pills can act on TNF, IL-6, AKT1, TP53, IL-1β and other targets, regulating PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway and other signaling pathways to play a role in the treatment of osteoporosis.
