Objective:To investigate the relationship between meaning in life and procrastination of college students, and whether time value plays an mediating role between them.Methods:A total of 605 college students in Guizhou completed general procrastination scale, time value scale and life meaning scale.SPSS 22.0 software and PROCESS maro program were used for descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and mediating effect exploration.Results:(1) The procrastination score of college students was (34.40±7.74), the score of time value was (33.17±4.41), and the score of meaning in life was(46.03±8.81). (2) Procrastination was negatively correlated with meaning in life and time value ( r=-0.38, -0.16 respectively, P<0.01). While meaning in life was positively correlated with time value( r=0.31, P<0.01). (3) The mediating effect of time value perception between meaning seeking and procrastination was 22.6%.The direct effect of meaning in life on procrastination was 77.4%. Conclusion:College students with high meaning seeking is less procrastination, and time value mediates the effect between procrastination and meaning in life.Improving college students' meaning in life is conducive to indirectly reducing procrastination through time value.

Objective : To assess the health risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons（PAHs）exposed through cereal,fried and grilled foods in Hangzhou. Methods : A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect food consumption data of three inconsecutive days among 1 769 subjects selected by probability proportional to size sampling method from two districts in Hangzhou.Fifty samples of fried and grilled food and twenty samples of cereal were collected from five districts in Hangzhou. They were tested for B（a）P,PAH2,PAH4 and PAH8 by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The probabilistic models were established for the evaluation of PAHs exposure by @risk software and then margin of exposure（MOE）was calculated. Results : The contents of B（a）P in one sample of fried and grilled food exceeded the limit. The median contents of PAHs ranged from 0.20 to 3.64 μg/kg. The median exposures of B（a）P,PAH2 and PAH4 from both two kinds of foods were 1.54,3.54 and 8.13 ng/（kgbw·d）in the mixed model,1.61,3.76 and 8.09 ng/（kgbw·d）in the non-parameter model. The MOEs of≤95% PAHs exposure level in one kind of food or ≤90% PAHs exposure level in both kinds of foods were more than 10 000. The MOEs of ≥97.5% exposure level of B（a）P,≥95% exposure levels of PAH2 and PAH4 in both kinds of foods in the mixed model,and ≥95% exposure levels of B（a）P,PAH2,PAH4 in both kinds of foods in the non-parameter model were less than 10 000. Conclusion The health risk of PAHs exposure was very low in more than 90% of the population in Hangzhou. However,for high-end consumers,97.5% or 99% exposure level in one kind of food and 95% exposure level in both kinds of foods had a potential health risk.

AIM: To investigate the effects of nitric oxide (NO) and NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor NG-nitro-L arginine (L-NA) on LPS induced-lung injury in rats. METHODS: Forty healthy male SD rats, weighing 300?20 g, were used. The animals were anesthetized with 20% urethane 1 g?kg -1. Common carotid artery (CAA) and jugular vein were exposed through a median incision in the neck. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was measured through a pressure transducer connected with intubation of CAA. The animals were randomly divided into five groups: group 1: control; group 2: LPS (5 mg?kg -1, iv); group 3: high dose L-NA (20 mg?kg -1 intraperitoneal injection, ip); gropu 4: middle dose L-NA (10 mg?kg -1, ip); group 5: low dose L-NA (5 mg?kg -1, ip). Group1 : 0.9% saline solution was given and the animals were killed 6 h after the saline solution. Gruop 2: saline solution was given 3 h after LPS and the animals were killed 3 h after administration. Group 3, 4 and 5: L-NA was given 3 h after LPS iv and the animals were killed 3 h after administration, respectively. The pulmonary was removed immediately. The pulmonary coefficient and water content in pulmonary tissue were calculated (%). The NO 2-/NO 3- content in plasma, MDA content and NOS, SOD activity in the pulmonary tissue were measured. RESULTS: L-NA significantly decreased pulmonary coefficient and water content in pulmonary tissue and ameliorated LPS induced lung injury. The effect in high dose group was better than that in low dose group. L-NA significantly decreased NO 2-/NO 3- content in plasm, decreased MDA content and inhibited NOS activity and enhanced SOD activity in the pulmonary tissue. CONCLUSION: It may be concluded that L-NA has a beneficial effect on lung injury induced by LPS.

A total of 58 patients with simple septic shock were recruited from intensive care unit and divided into control group (n =28) and treatment group (n =30) according to treatment modalities.The control group was routinely treated.The treatment group received continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) for 10-14 days plus routine measures.After 3 days,the score of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation-Ⅱ (APACHE-Ⅱ) of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.01).And sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA),left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD),left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVEDS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) improved significantly (P ＜ 0.05).And the relevant blood biochemical parameters improved significantly better than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).In the group CVVH,there were mortality (n =7,23％) and multiple organ failure (MODS) (n =6,20％) ; In the control group,mortality (n =14,50％) and MODS (n =13,46％).The mortality rate had inter-group differences of statistical significance (x2 =4.38,P ＜0.05).Thus early volume resuscitation plus CVVH had excellent curative efficacies for septic shock.

Objective To study apoptosis and antigen presentation changes of monocytes in HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) patients under immune dysfunction state.Methods Peripheral blood samples of 26 HBV-related ACLF patients (ACLF group),20 active chronic hepatitis B patients (CHB group) and 18 healthy individuals (control group) were collected.The changes of apoptosis and proliferation (Ki67) in monocytes and the expression of surface markers including human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR and B7 molecules (CD86) of monocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results The percentage of Annexin V expressed monocytes of ACLF group (64％) was significantly higher than that of CHB group (28％) and control group (20％),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 value was 11.75 and 27.23 ; both P＜0.01),which indicated that monocytes apoptosis increased.The Ki67 expression in monocytes of ACLF group was lower than that of CHB group and control group,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 value was 4.71 and 4.83; both P＜ 0.05),which indicated that activated monocytes reduced. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of HLA-DR and CD86 of monocytes in ACLF group was 22.85 and 11.63,which was significantly lower than that of CHB group and control group,indicating the antigen presentation ability of monocytes injured. The percentage of Annexin Ⅴ positive monocytes in survivals (62 ％ ) was significantly higher than that of dead patients (46 ％ ) in ACLF group.Conclusion In HBV-related ACLF patients under immune dysfunction state,the apoptosis of peripheral blood monocytes increased,and the quantity of activated cells reduced,resulting in the decline of the antigen presentation ability of monocytes.

Objective To evaluate the safety of heparin used in plasma exchange (PE) and molecular absorbent recirculating system (MARS) for hepatic failure. Methods 8 databases were electronically searched including CNKI,CBM,WANFANG,VIP,PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane and EMBASE.Two researchers individually performed the literature screening,data extraction and evaluation of risk of bias.Random or fixed effect model based on the result of the test of heterogeneity were chosento synthesize the datausing RevMan 5.3 software. Results 6 eligible studies with 863 patientswere included. Compared to omitting of heparin, the heparin PE could increase the probability of circuit clotting, hemorrhage in puncture point, puncture hematoma (RR = 6.05, 95% CI:2.00-18.30, P=0.001;RR=10.80,95% CI:4.78-24.37,P<0.05;RR=6.34,95% CI:1.13-35.53,P=0.04),but the probability of circuit blocking and other adverse reactions are not influenced(RR=5.61,95% CI:0.99-31.89,P=0.05;RR = 1.17,95% CI: 0.73-1.86, P=0.51). As for the treatment with MARS, heparin could increase the chance bleeding death (RR =12.04, 95% CI:1.69-85.66, P=0.01), but had no obvious effect on circuit clotting. Conclusion When curing the hepatic failure,heparin PE can increase the probability of circuit clotting, hemorrhage in puncture point and puncture hematoma, and heparin MARSE can increase the probability of bleeding death. On the contrary, no-heparin PE and MARSE will be safer in treatment of hepatic failure.

Objective:To explore the difference in the proliferation, migration and ultraviolet radiation effect between double-head and unilateral pterygium fibroblasts (HPFs) cultured in vitro. Methods:Pterygium tissue was obtained from patients who underwent pterygium excision with conjunctival transposition from March 2017 to March 2018 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University.Nineteen cases with bilateral pterygium and 19 cases with unilateral pterygium were selected for this research.Twelve cases of normal conjunctival tissue were obtained from donor eyes.The fibroblasts were divided into HPFs-nasal (HPFs-N), HPFs-temporal (HPFs-T), unilateral HPFs and human conjunctiva fibroblasts (HCFs), which was taken from the nasal side of the bilateral pterygium, the temporal side of the bilateral pterygium, the unilateral pterygium and the normal conjunctiva, respectively.Human pterygium and normal conjunctival fibroblasts were isolated and cultured by tissue culture method.The fibroblasts were divided into an ultraviolet irradiation group and a normal light illumination group.The cell growth curve was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.The cell scratch healing rate was detected by the cell scratch test after 48 hours.The expression of α-smooth muscle actin αwas detected by immunofluorescence staining, and the number of positive cells in each group was compared.The fibroblasts cultured in vitro were irradiated with ultraviolet irradiation, and the cell scratch healing rate, growth curve and expression of α-SMA were observed.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject. Results:The pterygium and conjunctival fibroblasts were spindle shaped, and the growth rate was gradually increased from day 1 to day 7.The growth rate of HPFs-N was the fastest, and the growth rate of HCFs was the slowest.The growth rate of the four types of fibroblasts was significantly increased after exposure to ultraviolet.There were significant differences in the cell scratch healing rates and α-SMA positive cell expression rates among the four fibroblast types under different lighting conditions ( Fgroup=158.064, P<0.05; Fcell type=326.582, P<0.05. Fgroup=4.731, P<0.05; Fcell type=172.813, P<0.05), of which the scratches healing rate in the HPFs-N cells after 48 hours under the normal light conditions was (79.67±0.86)%, which was significantly higher than HPFs-T ([54.04±0.33]%), unilateral HPFs ([64.12±0.21]%) and HCFs ([58.86±0.41]%), the α-SMA positive cell expression rate in the HPFs-N cells after 48 hours under the normal light conditions was (28.87±1.02)%, which was significantly higher than that in HPFs-T ([13.67±0.23]%), unilateral HPFs ([20.35±1.72]%) and HCFs ([5.12±0.45]%) (all at P<0.05); the cell scratch healing rates and α-SMA positive cell expression rates were significantly increased in the ultraviolet irradiation group than those in the normal light illumination group (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:The nasal side of double-head pterygium fibroblasts is more proliferous and more migratory than that of the unilateral pterygium, the expression of α-SMA is also increased, which can be further enhanced by ultraviolet irradiation.

OBJECTIVETo compare the prevalence of hypertension between low birth weight infant (LBWI) women and non-LBWI women.

METHODSA retrospective cohort study was applied and 3 172 pregnant women giving births during October 1976 to December 2008 in our hospital and underwent physical check-up between 2010 and 2011 at the Kailuan medical group were included and divided into LBWI group and non-LBWI group by the history of LBWI. Prevalence of hypertension was obtained during the follow-up program. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relative risk of hypertension.

RESULTSA total number of 3 172 women, with an average age of 42.3 years old were divided into LBWI group (n = 147) and non-LBWI group (n = 3 025), with the average birth weights of their infants were 2.31 kg and 3.39 kg, respectively. The prevalence of hypertension from the follow-up program was significantly higher in LBWI group than that in the non-LBWI group (23.8% vs. 16.9%, P < 0.05). After adjustment for other traditional risk factors, the risk of hypertension in LBWI group was 1.60 (95%CI:1.02-2.53) folds higher than that in the non-LBWI group.

CONCLUSIONPrevalence of hypertension in women with LBWI was higher than that in those women without LBWI. History of LBWI seemed to have had an increased risk to develop hypertension.

Small interfering RNA-based RNA interference(RNAi)is an emerging treatment which has attracted more and more attention from both academia and industry. Studies on clinical translation of siRNA are popular in biomedical field, where safe and efficient carriers are necessary. As novel drug/gene vectors, dendrimers are widely used in siRNA delivery due to their unique and precise structure, multiple terminal groups and nano-sized chemophysical properties. Here, we present an overall view of current studies on dendrimer-based siRNA delivery systems, with the aim to provide an understanding of future siRNA therapeutics which could be used in clinic.

In comparison with the traditional two-dimensional tumor cell culture, the three-dimensional tumor spheroid culture can not only provide with an in vivo-like growth environment for tumor cells, but also maintain maximum cell activities. Therefore, the three-dimensional tumor spheroid culture is widely used in oncology research. In particular, the three-dimensional tumor cells retain the material and structural basis of the microenvironment of tumor in vivo, which is closer to the actual physiological environment, allowing it to be an ideal in vitro model for evaluating the tumor treatment response and drug resistance in tumors. This review summarizes the mechanisms of drug resistance in three-dimensional tumor cells, especially those induced by the morphology and microenvironment of three-dimensional tumor spheres, and puts forward the problems existing in the current three-dimensional tumor cells model, as well as the future development direction.
