Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of escape motivation and flow experience between frustration and online game addiction.Methods:Stratified cluster sampling method was used to randomly select 740 students from 5 universities in Beijing.Frustrate mental state scale (FMSS), escape subscale of online game motivation scale (OGMS), game flow scale (GFS), and the game addiction subscale of different types of internet addiction scale (DTIAS) were used for investigation. SPSS 25.0 software and PROCESS macro program model 6 were used to analyze the data and test the mediation effect.Results:Frustration (62.94±15.84) was positively correlated with escape motivation(6.89±2.34), flow experience(20.36±7.38), and online game addiction(16.05±6.62) ( r=0.30, 0.19, 0.39, all P<0.01). Escape motivation was positively correlated with flow experience and online game addiction ( r=0.51, 0.50, both P<0.01), while flow experience was positively correlated with online game addiction ( r=0.51, all P<0.01). The direct effect of frustration on game addiction was 0.23 (95% CI=0.17-0.30). Frustration indirectly affects game addiction through two paths. The single mediating effect of escape motivation was 0.07 (95% CI=0.05-0.11), and the chain mediating effect of escape motivation and flow experience was 0.05 (95% CI=0.04-0.08). Conclusion:Frustration not only directly affects online game addiction, but also indirectly affects online game addiction through escape motivation and flow experience.

Objective:To evaluate the vital signs changes,influence factors in different grades of hy-pertension patients during the treatment of acute pulpitis,in order to obtain the risk prevention measures. Methods:In this study,90 different grades of hypertension patients with acute pulpitis were recruited from February 201 4 to February 201 5 in the Department of Oral Emergency,Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology.The information about the patients’general health,oral treatment,life signs of change information was collected.Patients were divided into high risk group,middle risk group, and low risk group (30 patients for each group).Results:(1 )Compared with the preoperative,systolic blood pressure (90%),diastolic blood pressure (80%),heart rate increase (1 00%)were increased in the high risk group.The increase rates of the middle risk group and the low risk group were significantly lower than those of the high risk group (P<0.01 ).At the same time,the systolic blood pressure of 1 /4 (26.7%)patients in high risk group increased more than 20 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.1 33 kPa),and the diastolic blood pressure of 2/5 patients in high risk group increased more than 1 0 mmHg,the difference was statistically significant compared with the other two groups (P<0.05).(2)Compared with the pre-operative,the average increase of the maximum peak were increased [systolic blood pressure (1 8.0 ± 1 .5)mmHg,diastolic blood pressure (8.0 ±1 .7)mmHg],the mean of heart rate changes [(7.0 ± 0.3)beats per minute]was also increased in the high risk group,while these two indicators were de-creased in the low risk group and the middle risk group.The electrocardiogram (ECG)was changed in 6 cases during the treatment in the high risk group.No significantly changed were observed in the low risk group and the middle risk group.(3 ) Compared the risk assessment in preoperative with that in postoperative,in the middle risk group,23 cases were evaluated as medium risk in final evaluation,6 as low risk,and 1 as high risk (risk assessment increased);in the high risk group,20 cases were evaluated as high risk,7 as very high risk,and 3 as medium risk (risk assessment decreased).Conclusion:Oral treatment is very safe for patients with hypertension,but the risk factor,target organ damage,and com-plications will also increase the risk of cardiovascular events in elderly patients during the acute pulpitis treatment.Dentist should take some measures to avoid the risks.

Objective To explore the patients satisfaction with participation in medical and nursing decision making and the influencing factors among cancer patients, and to provide a basis for developing better medical care services. Methods Totally 159 cancer patients were recruited from Beijing Cancer Hospital, and then were investigated with the general information questionnaire, the patients′ expectation for participation in clinical decision making scale, the patients′ competence for participation in clinical decision making scale, and the patients′satisfaction with participation in medical and nursing decision making questionnaires. Results The total score of patients′satisfaction with participation in medical and nursing decision making were (45.92±3.91) and (34.25±3.31) respectively. Compared with female patients, male patients had higher satisfaction with medical decision making (46.45±3.24&44.87±4.84) and nursing decision making (34.68 ± 2.93&33.42 ± 3.84) (t=2.416, P=0.017;t=2.275, P=0.024);and compared with melanoma patients, lung cancer patients had higher satisfaction with medical decision making (46.51 ± 2.69&43.33 ± 7.07, P=0.002);compared withⅢstage patients, Ⅳstage patients had higher satisfaction with nursing decision making(34.97±2.24&32.40±4.56, P<0.01). Meanwhile, the satisfaction with participation in decision making was significantly positively associated with patients′ expectation and competence for participation in clinical decision making. Conclusions Patients′satisfaction for decision making may vary from different gender, tumor types, disease stages, and patients′expectation and competence. Health care providers still further strength patients′ knowledge and initiative of decision making, and then improve patients′satisfaction with participation in decision making.

Objective To analyze the effects of five proteins secreted by Chlamydia trachomatis on the phagocytosis of macrophages and dendritic cells derived from bone marrow cells of C3H/HeJ mice. Methods Glutathione S-transferase ( GST)-CT311, GST-GIgA, GST-cHtrA, GST-OmcBc and GST-Pgp3 proteins were prepared through an Escherichia coli prokaryotic expression system and purified by GST Mag-Beads. Chlamydia membrane protein GST-IncA was also prepared as a control. Proteins of interest were ob-tained by cleaving off GST-tag with PreScission protease. Macrophages (MΦ) and dendritic cells (DC) were prepared from bone marrow cells of C3H/HeJ mice and pretreated with either 100 μg/ml or 500 μg/ml of the above proteins. LPS was used as a control to testify the specificity of the proteins' functions. Four hours after pretreatment,fluorescent beads were added to culture media to evaluate the changes in phagocytosis with direct immunofluorescence assay. Results LPS and low concentration (100 μg/ml) of these proteins had no significant influence on the phagocytosis of DC and MΦ,while high concentration (500 μg/ml) of Pgp3, cHtrA and CT311 could significantly promote the phagocytosis of DC and MΦ. Conclusion Pgp3, cHtrA and CT311 can promote the in vitro phagocytosis of DC and MΦ,which may facilitate the in vivo dissemina-tion of Chlamyida trachomatis.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disease that primarily affects the elderly population, which greatly increases the risk of fractures. Here we report that Kindlin-2 expression in adipose tissue increases during aging and high-fat diet fed and is accompanied by decreased bone mass. Kindlin-2 specific deletion (K2KO) controlled by Adipoq-Cre mice or adipose tissue-targeting AAV (AAV-Rec2-CasRx-sgK2) significantly increases bone mass. Mechanistically, Kindlin-2 promotes peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) activation and downstream fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) expression through stabilizing fatty acid synthase (FAS), and increased FABP4 inhibits insulin expression and decreases bone mass. Kindlin-2 inhibition results in accelerated FAS degradation, decreased PPARγ activation and FABP4 expression, and therefore increased insulin expression and bone mass. Interestingly, we find that FABP4 is increased while insulin is decreased in serum of OP patients. Increased FABP4 expression through PPARγ activation by rosiglitazone reverses the high bone mass phenotype of K2KO mice. Inhibition of FAS by C75 phenocopies the high bone mass phenotype of K2KO mice. Collectively, our study establishes a novel Kindlin-2/FAS/PPARγ/FABP4/insulin axis in adipose tissue modulating bone mass and strongly indicates that FAS and Kindlin-2 are new potential targets and C75 or AAV-Rec2-CasRx-sgK2 treatment are potential strategies for OP treatment.
