1.The relationship between IL-10, IL-18 and severe pneumonia
International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;41(3):243-245
Pneumonia is the primary cause of death in children under five years of age.About 2 million children younger than 5 years die of pneumonia each year worldwide,accounting for 19% of the total number of deaths.According to the survey in 2008,7% ~ 13% of the children with pneumonia are severe pneumonia.Severe pneumonia is a life-threatening disease which needs for intensive care.Cytokine IL-10 is a anti-inflammatory cytokine,and IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine,both of them are released by the inflammatory response,and can be involved in severe pneumonia immune-mediated.They are closely related to the occurrence,development and prognosis of severe pneumonia.

3.NELL2 and its role in the secreation of gonadotropin releasing hormone
International Journal of Pediatrics 2011;38(2):162-166
The puberty and reproduction are regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. The activation of hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons and an increase in GnRH is critical for the initiation of puberty. The mechanism of GnRH regulation for neurons activity is complicated, because many different factors can affect the secretion of GnRH. Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter, which can promote the secretion of GnRH through a variety of pathways. In recent years, relevant studies showed that NELL2 may influence the secretion of GnRH by regulating the secretion of glutamate or through other pathways,thereby affecting the onset of puberty. So NELL2 plays an important role in promoting neuronal growth,differentiation, neuronal plasticity maintenance and synapse transportation etc.
4.Psychological analysis of odinopoeia patients with stillbirth or fetal malformation
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2013;29(30):38-40
Objective The aim of the study was to analyze the psychological problems and psychological needs of the odinopoeia patients with stillbirth or fetal malformation.Methods From May to August 2012,25 patients with stillbirth or fetal malformation were collected and 40 normal patients were selected as control in the targeted hospital,their psychological conditions were compared.The socio-demographics of patients were survey,the Symptom Check List 90(SCL-90) was applied to assess the two groups' psychological conditions,and Impact of Event Scale Revised (IES-R) was applied to assess the post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),moreover,the associated factors with PTSD was also analyzed.Results The symptom factor scores of the cases were significantly higher in odinopoeia patients than the controls.The age,education levels,having or no offsprings and the support of spouse were greatly associated with PTSD of patients with stillbirth or fetal malformation.The patients with stillbirth or fetal malformation demanded to understand some prenatal care knowledge and the reasons for stillbirth or fetal malformation.Conclusions The patients with stillbirth or fetal malformation had low levels of psychological health,so the medical workers and family members must pay much attention to the psychological conditions of patients with stillbirth or fetal malformation,and provide them the psychological counseling in order to eliminate the patients' suffering from stillbirth or fetal malformation and improve their mental health.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2017;33(12):900-903
Objective To investigate the status of post traumatic growth and role reinforcement in elder patients with cerebral infarction accepting the treatment of rehabilitation, and to explore the effect of role reinforcement on post traumatic growth. Methods Totally 303 patients with cerebral infarction accepting the treatment of rehabilitation were investigated by the Post Traumatic Growth Rating Scale and the Role Reinforcement Scale. Results The post traumatic growth and role reinforcement scores of the patients were (61.50 ± 7.19), (63.51 ± 9.28) points. The scores of each dimension of post traumatic growth were significantly positively correlated with the role reinforcement (r =-0.794--0.123, P < 0.05 or 0.01). Stepwise regression analysis showed that the influence factors on the post traumatic growth of the patients were the cultural level, age and each dimension of role reinforcement (P < 0.05). Conclusions For the patients with cerebral infarction accepting the treatment of rehabilitation, the level of post traumatic growth is in a moderate level, and the role reinforcement is in a strong level, and role reinforcement is the influencing factor of post traumatic growth.
