Objective:To test the validity and reliability of the General Alienation Scale (GAS)in college students sample.Methods:Totally 1200 college students were surveyed,using classical test theory (CTT)and i-tem response theory (IRT)to test the psychometric properties of GAS.Under the framework of CTT,item selec-tion was performed with all data.Then,the sample was divided into two groups based on the input order to exam-ine the construct validity.Exploratory factor analysis (EFA)and parallel analysis (PA)were performed with odd group,while confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)was performed with even group.Criterion validity was examined with the short-form of the University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale (ULS-8),General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES),Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES).Under the framework of IRT,all data was fitted the rat-ing scale model (RSM),including the principal component analysis of residuals (PCAR),the item fit indexes (Infit and Outfit),measurement reliability (item separation index,item reliability,person separation index and person reliability)and the Wright map.Results:Under the framework of CTT,the GAS was retained 13 items except item 2 and 5.The results of both EFA and PA showed that 13 items of GAS was one-dimensional,and there was a good fit of CFA (χ2 /df=2.689,P <0.001,CFI =0.897,TLI =0.877,RMSEA =0.055,SRMR =0.046).The correlation coefficients were 0.57, -0.60 and -0.40 with the GAS,ULS-8,GSES,RSES
scores respectively (Ps <0.001 ).The Cronbach 's αcoefficient and confidence interval were 0.81 (0.80, 0.83).Under the framework of IRT,the ratio of first-paired eigenvalue was 1.6 in PCAR.The infit and outfit of retaining 13 items in CTT were from 0.6 to 1.4 excluding item 4.The item separation index,item reliability,per-son separation index and person reliability of the 12-item GAS were10.91,0.99,2.14 and 0.82 respectively.The item difficulty can matched with person ability,and they were closed to the normal distribution.Conclusion:It suggests that the General Alienation Scale (GAS)is of good validity and reliability,and it could be used as an ef-fective tool for measuring the alienation of college students.

Objective To research the effect mechanism of ultrashortwave in the correlation of ultrashortwave and the tail replantation, provide the experiment basis of clinical practice of prevention and cure for the vascular crisis after micromodule anastomosis. Methods Eighty Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats of clean grade were 3-month-old,female,and were divided into four groups:control group (group 0),model group (group 1 ),contrast group (group 2),ultrashortwave (USW) group (group 3).The preparation of tail replantation model was cut off soft tissue except for caudal veins on both sides of the tail. The coccyx was not broken away from tail.At last,the audal artery under abdominal main centre ditch was anastomosed.In experiment process, the USW group was divided into high dosage group (group 3A) and low dosage group (group 3B). The caudal arterys were ligated and not anastomosed in the group 0. Caudal arterys in other groups were anastomosed.Rats in the group 0 and group 1 received no treatment,normal management after the operation. Rats in the group 2 were given abdominal cavity injection of papaverin liquid immediately,then once a day to 5 days after the tail replantation.Rats in the group 3 were immediately given USW therapy of twenty minutes on the anastomosis section,and then once a day for 5 days after the tail replantation.The USW dosage of group 3A was 3th grade and 50mA. The USW dosage of group 3B was 2th grade and 28mA.The survival rate of the rat tails was observed after the tail replantation for 10 day.Before being grouped,it was measured that the tail skin temperature diference between near and far side of anastomosis section.After the tail relpantation, the temperature diference was inspected daily for 10 postoperative days hence. Before rats were grouped and the eighth hour after the tail replantation, rats were collected blood plasma specimens and measured contents of nitric oxide with destination colorimetric mathods of nitric oxide.Results Carrying out comparison of survival rate of every group,the output weve:between tail cutting off group (group 0,0) and tail replantation group (group 1,2,3,43.94％) to compare P ＞ 0.05; between each group of the tail replantation groups (1,2,3A,3B group) to compare P＞ 0.05,group 3B ＜ 2 ＜ 1 ＜ 3A; between group 3B and group 1 to compare P ＞ 0.05; between group 2 and group 1 to compare P ＞ 0.05. Each group were compared with the change daily between postoperative and preceding operative the skin temperature diference,single-factor analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA) analysis:Postoperative 1 day,group 3A ＜ 1,P ＜ 0.05.Postoperative 6 day:3A ＜ 3B ＜ 1 ＜ 2,P ＞ 0.05.Postoperative 7 day:group 3B ＜ 1 ＜ 3A ＜ 2,P ＜ 0.05.Each group were compared with the change of the content of nitric oxide between postoperative 8 hour and preceding operative,with rank-sum test:group 3B ＞ 3A ＞ 2 ＞ 1 ＞ 0,H =33.760,P ＜ 0.05,shows statistically significant.Conclusions USW therapy,especially USW low-dose therapy,can reduce vascular crisis and improve the survival rate of replanted rat tails,after the postoperative 1,6,7 days,reduce skin temperature,improve blood supply,improve nitric oxide at postoperative eighth hour,prevent vascular crisis.Rat tail replantation model in this experiment is feasible.

OBJECTIVETo observe the influence of natural borneol and synthetic borneol on mucosal permeability of Gardenia extract.

METHODTaken frog skin as a vitro model to study the vitro mucosal permeation the impacts of the natural borneols and synthetic borneols on the P(app) of the Jasminoidin were studied, and the effect of different borneols on the stability of Jasminoidin were investigated. Compared the 10 h accumulated infiltration rate of each group the effects of influence factors,such as C(Ge), C(B) and rotation speed on P(app) were investigated by using response surface method.

RESULTThe P(app) of Jasminoidin of natural borneol and synthetic borneol group were 1.44 fold and 1.77 fold of control group (P < 0.01). For two borneol groups, the results also showed a significant difference too (P < 0.05). Jasminoidin began to degrade about 8 h after the effect of frog skin for control group and synthetic borneol group, but was stable within 12 h for natural borneol group. The accumulated permeation rate of 10 h was same for different borneol groups. It was about 1.3 fold of control group. The C(Ge) had a salinence influence on the P(app) (P < 0.01) and C(B) had a salience influence on time-lag (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONBoth the natural borneol and synthetic borneol can accelerate the permeation of Jasminoidin and the synthetic borneol has stronger effect on the P(app). Both two different borneol can reduce the degradation effect of frog skin to Jasminoidin, but the natural borneol has a better protect effect on it. By using more natural borneol, the mucosal permeability of Gardenia extract can be increased, the time-lag can be reduced, and Jasminoidin has better stability.

ObjectiveTo establish a high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） fingerprint of Yanghetang benchmark sample， and evaluate its quality with chemometric methods， so as to provide a reference for the quality control of this benchmark sample. MethodHPLC was used to establish the fingerprint of Yanghetang benchmark sample with ZORBAX SB-C₁₈ column（4.6 mm×250 mm， 5 μm）， the mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile（A） -0.05% phosphoric acid aqueous solution （containing 0.05% triethylamine solution）（B） for gradient elution（0-5 min， 2%-3%A； 5-15 min， 3%-5%A； 15-65 min， 5%-30%A； 65-90 min， 30%-70%A）， the flow rate was 1.0 mL·min^-1， the column temperature was 35 ℃， and the detection wavelength was 210， 260 nm. Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM） Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System （2012 edition） combined with cluster analysis， principal component analysis（PCA） and partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA） were used to evaluate the quality differences between different batches of Yanghetang benchmark samples， and to find the main chemical components responsible for the quality differences. ResultHPLC fingerprint of Yanghetang benchmark sample was established， 13 common peaks were identified and attributed to each common peak， including peaks 2 and 8 from Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， peaks 10 and 11 from Cinnamomi Cortex， peaks 1， 3-6 from fried Sinapis Semen， peak 13 from Ephedrae Herba， and peaks 7， 9， 12 from Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Eight of them were identified by comparing with control substance， which were 5-hydroxymethylfurfural（peak 2）， sinapine thiocyanate（peak 4）， glycyrrhizin（peak 7）， verbascoside（peak 8）， cinnamic acid（peak 10）， cinnamaldehyde（peak 11）， glycyrrhizic acid（peak 12） and ephedrine hydrochloride（peak 13）. The similarities of the HPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of Yanghetang benchmark samples with the control fingerprint were all greater than 0.80. The three chemometric methods could classify the samples into two categories. Eight differential components were screened out， among which 5-hydroxymethylfurfural， sinapine thiocyanate， verbascoside and ephedrine hydrochloride were identified. ConclusionThe established fingerprint analysis method is accurate， stable and reproducible， which basically reflects the overall chemical composition of Yanghetang benchmark sample， and can provide a basis for establishment of quality standards for compound preparations of this famous classical formula.

Objective To explore the safety of minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) with three-field lymphadenectomy (3-FL) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by comparing the short-term outcomes between the 3-FL and the two-field lymphadenectomy (2-FL) in MIE. Methods The clinical data of patients with ESCC who underwent minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy in our hospital from July 2015 to March 2022 were collected retrospectively. Patients were divided into a 3-FL group and a 2-FL group according to lymph node dissection method. And the clinical outcomes and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 257 patients with ESCC were included in this study. There were 211 males and 46 females with an average age of 62.2±8.1 years. There were 109 patients in the 3-FL group and 148 patients in the 2-FL group. The operation time of the 3-FL group was about 20 minutes longer than that of the 2-FL group (P<0.001). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the intraoperatve blood loss (P=0.376). More lymph nodes (P<0.001) and also more positive lymph nodes (P=0.003) were obtained in the 3-FL group than in the 2-FL group, and there was a statistical difference in the pathological N stage between the two groups (P<0.001). But there was no statistical difference in the incidence of anastomotic leak (P=0.667), chyle leak (P=0.421), recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (P=0.081), pulmonary complications (P=0.601), pneumonia (P=0.061), cardiac complications (P=0.383), overall complications (P=0.147) or Clavien-Dindo grading (P=0.152) between the two groups. Conclusion MIE 3-FL can improve the efficiency of lymph node dissection and the accuracy of tumor lymph node staging, but it does not increase the postoperative complications, which is worthy of clinical application.
