Objective To observe the ultrastructural change of intestinal mucosa in mice infected with Blastocystis hominis, and to study the pathogenic mechanism of B.hominis infection. Methods 20 Kunming mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: group A treated with immunosuppressant (dexamethasone), group B without immunosuppressant, group C as normal control and group D as immunosuppressant control. Groups A and B were then orally infected with 204 cysts of B. hominis. Groups C and D were treated as control by infusing same volume of Locke′s solution. Six days after inoculation, mice in each group were killed and mucosa of ileocecum was observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results Under SEM, B. hominis located in enteric cavity and on the surface of ileocecum mucosa. Individual parasites also invaded into mucosa and its fold. Partial destruction of microvilli on the mucosa was observed. TEM observation indicated a reduction of microvilli on the surface of absorptive cells. Mitochondrial edema, rough endoplasmic reticulum dilatation and degranulation were found on absorptive cells and goblet cells. Lymphocyte infiltration and eosinophilia were found in intercellular stroma. Pathological changes in group A were more serious than that of group B. No abnormal change on the mucosal ultrastructure was found in groups C and D. Conclusions B. hominis infection causes significant ultrastructural lesion on the ileocecal mucosa in mice. Immune status of the mice can affect the degree of the lesion due to infection.

Objective: To learn anxiety and depression status in junior high school students with myopia in Zhoushan and their influencing factors,so as to provide reference for vision care and mental health intervention. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select students from two junior high school in Zhoushan. A self-designed questionnaire,self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were employed to collect the demographic information,and to evaluate anxiety and depression status.The logistic regression analysis was used to select the influencing factors for anxiety and depression in myopia students. Results : A total of 775 questionnaires were sent out and 766 valid ones were recovered,with an response rate of 98.84%. There were 662 students with myopia.The rates of anxiety,depression and the two combined in myopic students were 22.36%,25.38% and 14.35%,respectively.The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for anxiety of myopic students were females (OR=1.514,95%CI:1.054-2.183),the third grade (OR=2.246,95%CI:1.408-3.619),high myopia (OR=1.839,95%CI:1.126-3.017) and wearing glasses for two years or above (OR=2.504,95%CI:1.464-4.306); the risk factors for depression were females (OR=1.182,95%CI:1.253-2.536),above average of school record (OR:1.614-2.026,95%CI:1.034-3.153),high myopia (OR=2.284,95%CI:1.513-3.436) and wearing glasses for two years or above (OR=4.602,95%CI:2.035-10.372). Conclusions The prevalence rates of anxiety and depression are higher in junior high school students with myopia in Zhoushan. The students who are females,are in the third grade,have above average of school record,have high myopia and wearing glasses for two years or above are more likely to suffer from anxiety or depression.

Tumor diseases have attracted great attention of the society because of the increasing morbidity in recent years .To inhibit the P53-MDM2 interaction has become an important target for design of cancer drug ,and a lot of peptide and small molecule inhibitors have been found with various kinds of drug screening and research tools .This paper summarized the recent progress of the peptide and peptidomimetic inhibitors of P53-MDM2 at home and abroad lately .
