Objective To explore the mechanism of 125I seed interstitial implantation-induced apoptosis of liver VX2 tumor cells in experimental rabbits, and to compare the effects of different radioactivity 125I seeds on the apoptosis and on the proliferation of tumor cells. Methods A total of 24 rabbit models with VX2 liver cancer were randomly and equally divided into 3 groups, and 125I seeds with different initial radioactivity were separately implanted into the rabbits of the three groups. 125I seeds of 0 mCi radioactivity were used in the control group (n=8), 125I seeds of 0.7 mCi radioactivity were used in the 0.7 mCi group (n=8) and 125I seeds of 1.0 mCi radioactivity were used in the 1.0 mCi group (n=8). The experimental rabbits were sacrificed at 5 weeks after the implantation; the tumor lesions were removed, and the effects of 125I seeds on the apoptosis and proliferation of tumor cells were determined. The tumor cell apoptosis rate, tumor growth-related factors, tumor growth factor expression protein and the influence of caspase-3 activity were evaluated. Results Regardless of their initial radioactivity, all the 125I seeds could make the tumor cell apoptosis rate increased, make Bcl-2 and VEGF expression level decreased, and make Bax expression increased, which were more obvious in 1.0 mCi group (P<0.05). The 125I seeds could increase the activity of caspase-3 within tumor tissue, but the difference between the 0.7 mCi group and the 1.0 mCi group was not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion The implanted 125I seeds can not only inhibit tumor’s growth through inducing apoptosis of tumor cells, but also inhibit tumor’s angiogenesis through influencing the expression of apoptosis-related gene and coding protein.

Objective To explore the efficacy of targeted care for sleep by analyzing polysomnography (PSG) of the different stages of night sleep in patients with depressive disorder. Methods 80 depressive patients met the recruited criteria from Feb 2015 to Feb 2016 were sample-randomly divided into research group with targeted care and controlled group with routine nurse by random number table. PSG of each case was analyzed and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to assess at baseline and endpoint during 4 weeks period. Results Total sleep time, sleep efficiency, N3 and rapid eyes movement ratio of PSG were (395.74 ± 29.31) min, (80.42±1.92)%, (19.11±2.29)%and (16.01±2.55)%in research group, (372.34±24.37) min, (72.61 ± 1.64)%, (13.61 ± 2.38)%and (13.87 ± 2.03)%in controlled group (t=2.892-13.361, P<0.05). SDS at 2nd week and 4th week were (45.28 ± 6.28) points and (32.62 ± 4.65) points in research group, (48.63±7.54) points and (36.32±4.34) points in controlled group (t=-4.12,-4.43, P<0.05). HAMD at 2nd week and 4th week were (15.92 ± 2.62) points, (9.94 ± 2.32) points in research group, (18.27 ± 3.41) points and (12.45 ± 2.21) points in controlled group (t=-3.51,-4.35, P<0.05). Conclusions Efficacy of targeted care for sleep in patients with depressive disorder is better and sooner, and the intervention is good for both sleep quality and mood level.

Objective To study the expressions of Cx43,CD105 and VEGF in HBV related HCC tissues and the relationships between Cx43 expression and recurrence and prognosis after cancer radical resection in HCC patients stratified by serum AFP levels. Methods The expressions of Cx43,CD105,VEGF in 234 HBV related HCC tissues were examined by tissue microarray and two-step methods of PV-6000 of immunohistochemistry and the expressions of Cx43 in 20 frozen HCC specimens were examined by RT-PCR. Results Cx43 in HCC tissues was positive as examined by both immunohistochemistry and RTPCR methods.Positive Cx43 expression is correlated with lower early recurrence ( Log Rank P =0.001 ),longer disease free survival (Log Rank P =0.026 ) and overall survival( Log Rank P =0.000 ) as showed by the Kaplan-Meier analysis in patients with AFP < 400 μg/L. The expression of Cx43 is an independent prognostic factor.The positive expression of Cx43 related with lower positive expression of CD105 and VEGF (P =0.018,0.023 ),and correlated with histological differentiation (P =0.002),the number of focus (P =0.033 ),blood vessel tumor embolism ( P =0.029 ). Conclusions The expression of Cx43 is correlative with the expression of CD105 and VEGF,and is predictive of HCC early recurrence and poor prognosis after radical hepatectomy in HBV related HCC patients with serum AFP < 400 μg/L.

Objective To analyze the factors that influence the survival condition during the first year after hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Five hundred twentyeight HCC cases undergoing hepatectomy were included from January 1997 to December 2008.The factors and survival outcomes in these patients were analyzed. Results There were 302 patients dying during a medium follow-up of 35 months and 1-year cumulative survival was 85%.The causes of death during first year were tumor recurrence (78.1%,75/96) and liver dyscompensation ( 19.8%,19/96).By Cox regression analysis,tumor size ≥5 cm (P =0.047 ),vascular invasion ( P =0.018),histologic moderately and poorly differentiation ( P =0.001 ) and pathologically positive margin ( P =0.004 ) were significantly associated with tumor recurrence,and portal hypertension was an independent factor for patients dying from liver dysfunction ( P =0.001 ).Positive tumor margin was the most important factor associated with postoperative death within one year (59.3%,60/96). Conclusions During the first year after HCC resection,tumor recurrence and liver dysfunction are main factors influencing HCC patients' survival,nonR0 resection is the main factor causing tumor recurrence,and portal hypertension is an independent factor for patients dying of liver dyscompensation.

Objective:
To understand the prevalence and associated factors of school bullying among primary and secondary school students in Haidian District, and to provide scientific basis for intervention plan.
Methods:
From September to October 2021, 1 906 primary and secondary school students in Haidian District were selected by stratified cluster random sampling for electronic questionnaire survey,an electronic questionnaire survey was conducted on students by using the questionnaire of the Student Health Status and Influencing Factors Questionnaire.
Results:
The prevalence of campus bullying among primary and secondary school students in Haidian District was 4.3%, of which primary school (7.6%) > junior middle school (4.1%) > vocational high school (2.5%) > senior high school (1.9%) ( χ 2=23.49, P <0.01), boys (5.5%) were more than girls (3.0%) ( χ 2=7.44, P < 0.01 ), students from abnormal families (6.9%) were higher than students from normal families (3.9%) ( χ 2=4.24, P =0.04). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that students in primary school had a higher risk of being bullied in school ( OR =2.13). Abnormal family ( OR = 1.07 ), smoking experience ( OR =2.28), experience of being beaten and scolded by parents( OR =2.49) and fighting behavior ( OR =1.84) were positively correlated with school bullying ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Campus bullying is prevalent in primary and secondary schools in Haidian District, which warrents further attention of schools and education departments. Family school partnership and targeted prevention and intervention measures for key populations are expected.

Objective To analyze the law of the mid﹣term hepatic hemodynamics after liver transplantation and to investigate its relationship with liver function. Methods A total of 56 recipients underwent liver transplantation in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from February 2014 to October 2015 were studied,and divided into normal group (n =24)and abnormal group (n =32)according to the liver function.General information and liver function of both groups were recorded.Furthermore,hepatic artery peak velocity (HAP),portal vein peak velocity (PVP)and portal vein flow (PVF)before the liver transplantation and on postoperative day 1,30 and 90 were measured through ultrasonic detection;hepatic arterial buffer capacity (BC)and adjustment BC were calculated.The univariable and multivariable analysis were performed to analyze the relationship between hepatic hemodynamics and liver function in two groups,and the receiver operating curve (ROC)was drawn. Results The PVP and PVF on postoperative day 30 in abnormal group were significantly higher than those of normal group (P =0.014,0.049).The BC and adjustment BC in normal group were significantly higher than those of abnormal group (P =0.048,0.011).The multivariable analysis showed that adjustment BC was the independent risk factor (P =0.047),with the area under the curve (AUC)of ROC of 0.705,sensitivity of 0.652 and specificity of 0.750. Conclusions PVP,PVF,BC and adjustment BC on postoperative day 30 may be related to abnormal liver function,of which adjustment BC can be used as one of the indicators for diagnosis and intervention of abnormal liver function.
