Objective: The aim of the research was to test the applicability of Chinese Meaning in Life Questionnaire (C-MLQ) and its reliability and validity in college students. Methods: C-MLQ and a parcel of scales were administered to 531 college students from three universities in China. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were employed to check the construct validity. Results: Firstly, the internal consistency of the two subscales were qualified, the coefficient alpha of two subscales were 0.85 and 0.82 respectively; test-retest reliability were 0.74 and 0.76 respectively; secondly, compared with original scales, the construct of C-MLQ also had two factors, the item factor loadings ranging from 0.61 to 0.78 on the factor it belonged to. Thirdly, the correlations of C-MLQ and criterion measurement were 0.025 to 0.637. Finally, there were no gender difference in the scores of two subscales. Conclusion: The CMILQ has good reliability and validity and it can be used to assess individual meaning in life.

Objective: To develop a social support scale for university students. Methods: Based on Xiao Shuiyuan’s social support theory (subjective support, objective support and support utilization),the Social Support Scale for University Students, including 17 items, had been developed and its reliabilities and validities had been studied. Results: The discrimination index of the items were 0.26-0.52, and the ? coefficients of the total and three subscales was 0.81-0.91. Three factor model had been founded by exploratory factor analysis based on the first sample(N=212) and demonstrated by confirmatory factor analysis on the second sample (N=211). The scores of this scale had significant correlations with Xiao Shuiyuan’s social support rating scale and SCL-90 scale. Conclusion: A good psychometric feature of the scale had been demonstrated.

Objective: To investigate the adaptability of the factor structure of ISCYC to children aged 7 to 15. Method: A simultaneous confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analysis was conducted in 200 students. The 2-factor model of ISCYC and 3-factor model provided by Kaufman were fitted to the data and compared. Results: Both of the oblique 2-factor mode and 3-factor model fit the data quite well, but the latter had better fitness than former. Conclusion: The 2-factor model of ISCYC is applicable for children aged 7 to 15.

Objective:To examine differences among recovered Bipolar Ⅰ, Bipolar Ⅱ patients and controls. Methods: Using NEO-PI-R, HAMD and BRMS, we investigated 59 recovered bipolar patients and 59 normal controls matched for age, gender and education. Results: Compared with controls, Bipolar Ⅱ patients showed significant differences in personality traits of Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Openness to Experience. While Bipolar Ⅰ patients obtained higher scores on Gregariousness, Bipolar Ⅱ patients scored higher on traits of Depression, Impulsiveness and Aesthetics. Scores on Warmth were higher in Bipolar Ⅰ patients than in Bipolar Ⅱ patients. Conclusion: Personality traits of recovered bipolar patients were markedly different from matched controls, whereas the differences between Bipolar Ⅰ and Bipolar Ⅱ patients were small.

Objective: To investigate whether the ISCYC (Intelligence Scale for Chinese Young Children) is suitable for children aged 7 to 15. Method: The ISCYC used in this study consisted of 9 subtests. Some more difficult new items were added into 8 of the 9 subtests. The subjects were divided into 5 age groups, each had 20 male and 20 female. Results: The difficulty of 50% items ranged from 0.3 to 0.7. The average difficulty was 0.5. In more than 50％ items, thediscriminate index was above 0.2. The split- half reliability of these subtests were from 0.76 to 0.95, most of them higher than 0.80.The means of raw score for subtasts increased with the age of subjects. Some items in Pattern Rotation were less difficult than needed. Conclusion: This study has fulfill the theoretical construction of ISCYC, whjch is applicable for children aged 7 to 15.

Objective To test psychometric properties of the PTSD checklist-civilian version(PCL-C) among junior school students from earthquake-hit region.Methods PC L-C Chinese Version, Rosenberg self-esteem scale and SCL-90 were utilized to assess 560 junior school students from earthquake-hit region.Results Firstly,the internal consistency of the total scale and three subscales were qualified, the coefficient alphas were 0.890,0.734,0.789 and 0.722, respectively; 307 participants, from the first samples, engaged in the second test two months after the first assessment.The test-retest stability was re-experiencing 0.40(P ＜ 0.01 ) ,avoidance 0.45 (P＜ 0.01 ), hyper-arousal 0.448 (P ＜ 0.01 ), total scale 0.535 (P ＜ 0.01 ), respectively.Secondly, the results of criteria validity showed PCL-C and its three subscales had negative correlation with self-esteem (r =-0.192 ～-0.299, P ＜ 0.01 ), and had positive-related with SCL-90 and its subscales of depression, anxiety, and psychotic (r=0.563 ～0.775, P＜0.01 ).Finally,the results of empirical validity revealed that based on the score on PCL-Ccould differentiate those people who have significant different scores on SCL-90.Conclusions The PCL-C hadgood reliabilities and validities,which could be used to assess the severity of PTSD.

Objective To investigate the influence of left ventricular-arterial coupling(VAC) on clinical prognosis of elderly patients with septic shock.Methods A total of 56 elderly septic shoek patients were enrolled in this study,all of whom were admitted to Department of Intensive Care Unit in Zhejiang Hospital from August 2014 to October 2015.The patients were divided into two groups according to the status of left ventricular-arterial coupling when septic shock was diagnosed,which were left ventricular-arterial uncoupling group(UC group) and left ventricular-arterial coupling group(C group).Various parameters were recorded,including blood lactate level,central venous oxygen saturation(ScvO2),serum level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTN Ⅰ),dose of vasoactive drugs,the total fluid volume and urine volume per hour within 24 hours.The 28-day survival rate was a key index of prognosis.Multivariate logistic regression was taken to analyze risk factors related to death within 28 day.Results Compared with C group,UC group had lower values of left ventricular ejection fraction[(42.43 ±4.76)％ vs (53.17±3.01)％;P＜0.01] and cardiac index[(2.36±0.68) L· min-1 · m 2vs (2.93±0.45)L · min-1 · m-2;P ＜0.01].Yet serum levels of NT-proBNP[lg NT-proBNP 3.93 ±0.53 vs 3.40 ±0.63;P =0.004] and cTN Ⅰ [lg cTN Ⅰ-0.16 ± 0.68 vs-1.03 ± 0.69;P ＜ 0.001] in UC group were higher than those in C group.Moreover,the total fluid volume within 24 hours [(3 806.3 ± 831.4) ml vs (3 142.0±770.0) ml;P =0.016],blood lactate level[(5.61 ±2.68) mmol/L vs (3.93 ± 1.59)mmol/L;P =0.043] and dose of norepinephrine[(0.630 ±0.300) μg · kg-1 · min-1 vs (0.292 ±0.234)μg · kg-1 · min-1;P =0.001] in UC group were greater than those in C group,while ScvO2 [(60.75 ±2.91)％ vs (64.42 ±2.19)％;P＜0.001] and urine volume per hour[(0.518 ±0.358) ml vs (0.926 ±0.678) ml;P =0.007] were less than those in C group.Compared with C group,UC group had a lower 28-day survival rate [43.2％ (19/44) vs 9/12;P =0.049].Ea/Ees ratio was negatively correlated with LVEF,ScvO2 (r =-0.686,P ＜ 0.001;r =-0.411,P =0.002),positively correlated with NT-proBNP,cTN Ⅰ (r =0.294,P =0.028;r =0.363,P =0.006),yet no obvious correlation was noticed with blood lactate level (r =0.170,P =0.21).Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that VAC(OR =11.187,95％ CI 2.489-50.285;P =0.002),lactate level (OR =1.727,95 ％ CI 1.164-2.563;P =0.007) and lg cTN Ⅰ (OR =0.247,95 ％ CI 0.079-0.779;P =0.017) were independent risk factors affecting 28-day mortality.Conclutions In elderly patients with septic shock,left ventricular-arterial uncoupling indicates a lower 28-day survival rate,worse cardiac function and tissue perfusion.Ea/Ees ratio might sever as a predictive indicator of 28-day mortality.

Aim To investigate the effect that catalpol intervenes macrophage polarization mediated by mouse mesangial cells(MMCs) stimulated by advanced glycation end products(AGEs).Methods RAW264.7 macrophages and MMCs were co-cultured in vitro and divided into model group(100 mg·L-1 AGEs), control group(100 mg·L-1 BSA), catalpol(0.1, 1.0, 10.0 μmol·L-1) group, and aminoguanidine(1.0 μmol·L-1) group which was set as positive control.After being incubated with catalpol for 1 h, MMCs were stimulated by AGEs for 23 h.The proliferation-inhibition rate of MMCs was measured by MTT assay.MCP-1 in supernatant liquid of MMCs was detected by ELISA method.The expression of iNOS, CD16/32, TNF-α, COX-2, CD206 and Arg-1 was detected by Western blot.Simultaneously, the percentage of iNOS and CD206 was also measured by flow cytometry.Results AGEs could increase the level of MCP-1 secreted by MMCs.The expression of iNOS, TNF-α, CD16/32 and COX-2 protein of macrophage was up-regulated after MMCs stimulated by AGEs, while the expression of CD206 and Arg-1 was down-regulated.After being intervened by catalpol, these effects could be reversed.All the changes were concentration-related.Conclusions Catalpol can inhibit macrophages M1-type polarization process and promote M2-type polarization, which may be mediated through MCP-1 secreted by MMCs after AGEs stimulation.Catalpol can ameliorate inflammation and relieve diabetic kidney injury.
