Objectives To study the psychological characteristics of children with attention deifcit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods Human ifgure drawings (HFD) as a projective technique was performed in 107 children with ADHD aged (8.69 ±1.48) years old (6.5~11.5 years), and 107 matched healthy children. Characteristic features of the HFDs in children with ADHD, and correlations between emotional indicators of the HFDs and factors of child behavior checklist (CBCL) were assessed and com-pared with the control group. Results Signiifcant differences in emotional index were found between ADHD and healthy chil-dren, including bad body composition, short arms, long arms, big ifgure, omission of hands and omission of feet (P<0.05). Nega-tive correlation was found between the HFDs emotional index and the factors of activity and social ability in the CBCL (P<0.05), but a positive correlation was found between the HFDs emotional index and behavioral problem (P<0.05). Conclusion Human ifgure drawings can relfect some emotional characteristics of children with ADHD, and when combined with CBCL, it can pro-vide evidence for diagnosis and intervention for ADHD.

Objective To investigate the effect of EGCG on the radiosensitivity of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-1 cells.Methods CNE-1 cells were divided into four groups:control,EGCG treatment,UVC or X-ray exposure,and EGCG combined with UVC or X-rays.After treatment with different concentrations of EGCG for 24,48 and 72 h and UVC or X-rays,cell growth was determined with MTT assay,cell survival was measured with clonogenic assay,cell cycle was deteeted with flow cytometry,cell apoptosis was detected by the annexin V-FITC cell apoptosis kit,and protein expression was assayed by Westem blot.Results EGCG inhibited cell growth in a dose-and time-dependent manner(r =0.817and 0.364).Compared with UVC or X-ray irradiation alone,the radiosensitivity of CNE-1 cells was enhanced by 2 h pre-treatment of 50 μmol/L EGCG,which disrupted S phase arrest caused by UVC( t =18.68,P < 0.05 ) and increased the population of S and G2/M arrest caused by X-rays ( t =7.11 and 6.99,P <0.05 ).UVC could cause a significant increase of sub-G1 population( t =6.67,P < 0.05 ) and Annexin V-FITC assay indicated apoptosis was further elevated by EGCG ( t =10.28,P < 0.05 ).However,no significant induction of apoptosis was observed in the cells either irradiated with X-rays alone or combinationly treated with EGCG and X-rays.The combination treatment of EGCG and UVC significantly increased the expression of Bax and Caspase-3 proteins,but failed to affect Bcl-2 protein expression.Conclusions EGCG enhances the growth inhibition of CNE-1 cells caused by UVC or X-rays,which is relevant to apoptosis induction or cell cycle arrest.

Objective To estimate the excess relative risk coefficients of stomach cancer for Chinese population attributable to ionizing radiation.Methods The excess relative risk and excess absolute risk coefficients of stomach cancer were estimated based on Life Span Study by using risk models developed by BEIR Ⅶ committee (Biological Effect of Ionizing Radiation).Guided by transportation methods from Life Span Study to Americans,we determined that transportation method for Chinese population includes both multiplicative and additive models with a weight of 0.7 and 0.3 respectively,on an arithmetic scale.Besides,curve fitting was used to obtain sex-age-specific stomach cancer baseline incidence based on Chinese cancer annual report.Then,Chinese excess relative risk coefficients of stomach cancer were obtained by substituting excess relative risk,excess absolute risk of Life Span Study and Chinese baseline incidence rate into risk transportation model.Results Excess relative risk coefficients of stomach cancer for Chinese population are 0.26/Sv for male and 0.64/Sv for female,whose exposure age is 30 years old and cancer age is 60 years old.Coefficients increase with decreased exposure age and cancer age.Conclusions Excess relative risk coefficients of stomach cancer for Chinese population are by larger higher than that of Life Span Study,and their sex-age tendency are similar.

Objective To estimate the averaged excess relative risk(ERR) in Chinese population based on the radiogenic cancer risk of leukemia in Japanese atomic bomb survivor cohort,and to discuss proper method suitable for risk transfer between populations.Methods Based on BEIR Ⅶ radiogenic cancer model and population transfer model,and the 2009 Chinese leukemia baseline rates given in 2012 Chinese Cancer Registry Annual Report,comparison was made of population incidences in seveal countries to adjust the weighting factors.Results The ERR of three subtypes of leukemia as a whole was obtained,and the weighting factors for risk transfer model was assumed.The additive factor for male was 0.2,and the multiplicative factor was 0.8,while the additive factor for female was 0.15,and the multiplicative factor was 0.85.Conclusions For the risk transfer between populations,weighting factor was adjusted as a whole to obtain the ERR value for estimating the risk to Chinese population.The risk transfer method suitable for Chinese population was obtained by using the incidence rate available for Chinese population to directly transfer radiation-induced leukemia risk to Chinese from Japanese.
