Objective: To identity patterns of psychological abuse and neglect among male and female adolescents, and to examine the relationship between psychological abuse and neglect with mobile phone dependence. Methods: A total of 1 070 adolescents from 5 middle schools in Ganzhou and Wuhan were investigated with Child Psychological Abuse and Neglect Scale (CPANS), Mobile Phone Addiction Index Scale (MPAI) and demographic questionnaire. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to construct typologies of psychological abuse and neglect involvement in male and female adolescents. Results: Three latent classes were identified for boys: low level psychological abuse and neglect group (56.68%), medium level psychological abuse and neglect group ( 29.80 %), high level psychological abuse and neglect group (13.52%). For girls, four latent classes were identified including low level psychological abuse and neglect group (49.38%), medium level psychological abuse and neglect group (29.01%), high level psychological abuse and neglect group (11.12%); high level psychological abuse group (10.49%). Adolescents who suffered from psychological abuse and neglect were more likely to be dependent on mobile phones. Among them, boys dependence on mobile phones was manifested as out of control, withdrawal, escape and inefficiency[Medium level： B(95%CI )=0.28(0.12-0.44)，0.29(0.11-0.46)，0.35(0.16-0.53)，high level： B(95%CI )=0.37(0.16-0.59)，0.42(0.19-0.65)，0.33(0.07-0.59)，0.50(0.25- 0.74 )， P ＜0.05], while girls showed evasion and inefficiency in high levels of psychological abuse[ B(95%CI )=0.34(0.01-0.67)，0.46(0.14-0.78)， P ＜0.05]. Conclusion There are heterogeneous differences in psychological abuse and neglect between male and female adolescents, and the relationship between each category and mobile phone dependence varies. The results provide suggestions for adolescent mental health intervention.

Objective To study tirofiban intravenous injection,coronary artery injection of the two different methods in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction,the application of emergency PCI.Methods Patients underwent emergency PCI with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction as the research subjects,a total of 108 cases,the patients were randomly divided into the observation group and control group,54 patients in each group. In the observation group,the first dose of tirofiban was injected into the coronary artery.The control group was treated by intravenous injection.The results of the two groups were compared.Results Before treatment,TIMI level 2 and level 3 ratio,initial corrected TIMI frame count of the observation group were significantly lower than the control group (χ2 /t =4.32,4.59,5.25,all P <0.05).After treatment,MBG level 2 or level 3 ratio,post -operative corrected TIMI frame count of the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (χ2 /t =4.11,4.85,5.87, all P <0.05).1 h after PCI treatment,the number of cases of ST fully back,the added value of EF,plague index scores of observation group were 53 cases,(8.02 ±6.94)%,(0.41 ±0.28)respectively,which were significantly higher than those of the control group 36 cases,(5.87 ±6.54)%,(0.28 ±0.27)(χ2 /t =5.32,4.32,3.65,all P <0.05).Adverse events of the two groups had no significant difference (χ2 =0.52,P >0.05).Conclusion Compared with intravenous injection,tirofiban in the treatment of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction by intracoronary injection can improve the level of myocardial perfusion after PCI operation,promote the recovery of left ventricular function,and has high security.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of visual analog scale international prostate symptom score (VAS-IPSS) in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).Methods Three hundred and ninety patients with BPH were recruited to participate in this study and were randomly assigned to one of two groups:the standard IPSS group and the VAS-IPSS group.In each group,sub-groups were further divided to non-interpretation arm (A) and interpretation arm ( B),based on the availability of medical professionals to interpret patientsˊ VAS-IPSS score.In the same way,the similar sub-groups were established in VAS-IPSS group with non-interpretation arm (C) and interpretation arm (D).All the patients were required to fill out the same questionnaires at first consultation and second consultation with an interval of two weeks.Eventually,all the data were collected and analyzed.Results The ICC index was as follows for arms A through D:0.87 (95％CI0.72-0.94); 0.88 (95％CI0.74-0.95); 0.82 (95％CI0.59-0.92); 0.97(95％ CI 0.93-0.99).The optimal prediction factor for arm A was frequency (F =14.70,P =0.010)and the sub-optimal was nocturia ( F =12.10,P =0.000) and urgency ( F =11.80,P =0.000).The optimal prediction factor for arm B was nocturia ( F =6.02,P =0.000 ) and the sub-optimal was urinary incontinence ( F =5.79,P =0.008 ).The optimal prediction factor for arm C was nocturia ( F =30.98,P =0.000) and the sub-optimal was urinary incontinence ( F =22.42,P =0.000).The optimal prediction factor for arm D was nocturia ( F =20.20,P =0.000) and the sub-optimal was urinary incontinence ( F =18.00,P =0.000) and weak urine steam (F =15.30,P =0.000).Conclusions VAS-IPSS is more stable than the standard IPSS.The questionnaire explanation to patients is helpful for improving the VASIPSS stability.

Objective To explore the effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on the migration of neurons and the potential mechanism through the establishment of primary neuron culture from the brains of neonatal rats.Methods Brain tissues were selected from SD neonatal rats for primary neuron calture.The cells were divided into 4 groups based on the addition of As2 O3:normal control group,1 μmol/L As2O3 group,10 μmol/L As2O3 group and 20 μmol/L As2O3 group.The primary neurons were treated with different concentrations of As2O3 and cultured for 24 hours.Boyden chamber assay was used to detect the effect of As2O3 on neuronal migration.Immunofluorescence laser confocal microscope was used to observe the structure of actin.Results In the control group,the cultured neurons showed a regular pattern of distribution.In the 3 groups treated with As2O3,the distribution of neurons was loose and disordered,which was most obvious in the 20 μmol/L As2O3 group.The results showed that the higher concentration of As2O3,more difficult it was for the neurons to survive.The number of neuronal migration was 64.6 ± 4.3 for normal control group,63.0 ± 7.0 for 1 μmol/L As2O3 group,54.8 ± 3.6 for 10 μmol/L As2O3 group,and 21.6 ± 3.9 for 20 μmol/L As2O3 group.The results showed that As2O3 might inhibit the migration of primary neurons in a dose-dependent manner (F =49.31,P ＜0.001).The normal actin skeleton was destroyed under the laser confocal microscope in 10 μmol/L As2O3 group and 20 μmol/L As2O3 group,while they remained unaffected in normal control group and 1 μmol/L As2O2 group.Conclusion As2 O3 exposure can reduce the neuron migration in a dose-independent manner probably through disrupting the organization of acting cytoskeleton.
