Objective To determine the value of complexed prostate-specific antigen (cPSA) in predicting metastasis in patients with prostate cancer.Methods From January 2012 to April 2014,the clinical data of 74 patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer in our hospital was retrospective reviewed.The prostate cancer was diagnosed by transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy and postoperative pathologic diagnosis.The patients were divided to 2 groups according to metastases status.There were 38 patients in the group of metastasis and 36 patients in the group of without metastasis.In metastasis group,the bone metastasis was found in 36 cases.There is only one case with lung metastasis and one case with lymph node metastasis.In the group without metastasis,the T stages classification were T1-T2 in 17 cases and T3-T4 in 19 cases.While,10 cases with T1-T2 stage and 28 cases with T3-T4 stage were confirmed in the group with metastasis.There was no statistical significance of T stages and mean age in two groups (P>0.05).The level of cPSA in the serum was detected by chemiluminescent immunoassay,the level of tPSA,fPSA were detected by electro-chemiluminescent immunoassay,fPSA/tPSA,cPSA/tPSA were evaluated and the corresponding specificity were calculated.The correlation of age with tPSA,cPSA were analysed.The differences in PSA,fPSA/tPSA,cPSA/tPSA were compared between metastasis and non-metastasis group.ROC curve analysis was used to determine the diagnostic value of cPSA and tPSA,In the meantime,area of ROC curves were compared by Z test.Results The age was not related to the value of tPSA (r=-0.09,P=0.12) and cPSA(r=-0.38,P=0.14).The median levels of tPSA,fPSA,and cPSA are 29.88μg/L,2.18 μg/L and 18.86 μg/L in the group without metastasis,respectively.The median levels of tPSA,fPSA,and cPSA were 410.05 μg/L,51.50 μ.g/L and 290.40 μg/L in the group with metastasis,respectively.Significant differences of those results could be found in two groups (P<0.05).fPSA/tPSA was 0.07 and cPSA/tPSA was 0.79 in the group without metastasis.fPSA/tPSA was 0.08 and cPSA/tPSA was 0.80 in the group of metastasis.fPSA/tPSA (P=0.77),cPSA/tPSA (P=0.64) in patients with metastasis were not greater than in those without metastasis (P>0.05).The area under the curve of tPSA and cPSA were 0.83 (95% CI 0.73-0.93) and 0.82 (95%CI 0.73-0.92) respectively.Analysis of ROC curves showed that the AUC for cPSA is not significant different from tPSA (Z=1.64,P=0.10).The specificity of cPSA was 22.2% which is higher than that of tPSA (19.4%) at a sensitivity of 92.1% in predicting metastasis comparing with the patients without metastasis.The sensitivity could reach to 90.0% when the cut off value of tPSA was 9μg/L or the cut off value of cPSA was 7 μg/L.Conclusions In our study,a preliminary validation that cPSA is useful for predicting the metastasis in patients with prostate cancer was made.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the role of clinical pharmacists participating in successful treatment of critically ill children with Influenza A (H1N1). METHODS:Considering patients' conditions,clinical pharmacists participated in drug treatment in respect of pharmacokinetics,pharmacodynamics,drug interactions and adverse drug reactions and so on. RESULTS:Combining with advantages of grade three class A comprehensive hospital,medical treatments had been achieved by multidisciplinary corporation. The symptoms of children under critically care disappeared completely and all test indicators returned normal so that critically ill children were cured. CONCLUSION:Clinical pharmacist is an important component of the medical team. Therefore,clinical pharmacists participating in clinical drug treatment can improve clinical efficacy and safety of drug treatment.

Objective:
To understand the current situation of the lack of knowledge about sexual and reproductive health among female college students, and to provide a reference for conducting feasible and effective interventions to improve their reproductive health.
Methods:
Female college students from a higher vocational college in Yantai were randomly sampled and questionnaires were conducted before and after the sexual and reproductive health education, 2 153 baseline questionnaires were obtained before intervention. After intervention for half a year, 2 110 valid questionnaires were obtained.
Results:
After the intervention, female college students’ awareness of normal menstrual cycle, menstrual days, menstrual health knowledge, female ovulation time, ovulation and menstruation significantly improved(P<0.01). The proportion of female college students taking an open attitudes of towards to premarital sex increased, and the number of contraceptives was significantly increased during premarital sex, and the rate reported with the intention of unwanted pregnancies to help parents, friends, and teachers was increased significantly, and the rate of choosing abortion in the illegal clinic decreased significantly (P<0.05). After intervention, students were concerned about contraceptive knowledge, STD prevention, and human flow harm. The cognition was significantly improved(P<0.01).
Conclusion
Reproductive health education for female college students can have a good effect and significantly increase the awareness rate of related knowledge.

Objective:
Cognition impairments are considered as a fundamental characteristic of severe mental disorders (SMD). Recent studies suggest that hyperprolactinemia may exert a detrimental influence on cognitive performance in patients with SMD. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between serum prolactin levels and cognitive function in female individuals diagnosed with SMD.
Methods:
We conducted a study on 294 patients with SMD and 195 healthy controls, aged between 14 to 55 years old. Cognitive function was assessed using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), while prolactin levels were measured in serum. Descriptive analysis and comparative analysis were performed to compare cognitive function and prolactin levels between groups, and linear regression models were used to explore the relationship between prolactin and cognitive function.
Results:
Compared to the healthy control, individuals with SMD exhibited significantly higher levels of prolactin, while scoring lower on RBANS total and every index scores. Furthermore, a negative association between prolactin levels and cognitive function (RBANS total index score, attention, and delayed memory) was observed in SMD patients. Importantly, this inverse correlation between prolactin and cognition function (RBANS total index score, total scale score, and attention) persisted in patients who were not taking medications that could potentially influence serum prolactin levels.
Conclusion
Our study reveals a significant correlation between elevated prolactin levels and cognitive impairment in female patients with SMD, underscoring the importance of monitoring prolactin levels in order to prevent cognitive deterioration among female SMD patients.

Background: Endoscopy combined with biopsy-based histology is most commonly used in the surveillance of ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the endoscopic and histological results for assessing disease activity are often inconsistent. Aims: To investigate the consistency and correlation of endoscopic and histological scoring systems in assessing the disease activity in UC patients. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in UC patients admitted from January 2014 to January 2020 at Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The clinical manifestations, endoscopic and histological findings were collected and analyzed, and the disease activity was examined endoscopically and histologically by Mayo Endoscopic Subscore and Simplified Geboes Score, respectively. Results: One hundred and forty-three UC patients were enrolled. Basal plasmacytosis is frequently seen in endoscopically active UC (OR=11.19, 95% CI: 4.80-26.09, P<0.001). Approximately half of the patients (53.7%) who achieved endoscopic remission still had inflammatory activity histologically. Kappa consistency test showed that the agreement between Mayo Endoscopic Subscore and Simplified Geboes Score for assessing disease activity was moderate (κ=0.4, P<0.001). By Spearman correlation coefficient analysis, a moderate correlation between the two scoring systems was identified (r
