Objective:To explore the relationship between marital satisfaction and character strengths in young people. Methods:An online survey was delivered to 307 married people (aged 2 1 -44 with years of mar-riage 0-20). Marital satisfaction was measured with the Evaluating and Nurturing Relationship Issues,Communica-tion,and Happiness (ENRICH,including intrapersonal,interpersonal,and external factors and marital satisfaction). Character strengths were measured with Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS,total 24 character strengths were classified into 4 high level character strength factors including heart-focus on self,heart-focus on oth-ers,mind-focus on self,mind-focus on others). Results:All 24 character strengths scores and 4 high level character strength factors scores were positively correlated with marital satisfaction score (r=0. 17 -0. 53,Ps<0. 01 ). Four high level character strength factors positively affected marital satisfaction through the mediation of 3 marital factors. Conclusion:The results indicate that the young people's marital satisfaction is closely related to their char-acter strengths,and character strengths affect marital satisfaction through 3 marital factors.

The growing trend of childhood obesity has attracted much attention globally.Overweight and obesity are not only popular in developed countries,but have spread to developing countries.China has entered an overall epidemic stage of childhood obesity.Studies have shown that obesity does not only impairs children's health,but also leads to health hazards in adult stage.Diabetes,coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases may take place sooner or the incidence may become higher.The causes of obesity include genetic,early life events,physical activity patterns,diet and social psychological factors.This article reviews the current epi-demic status and the influencing factors of childhood obesity worldwide.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of pre-infusion of hypertonic sodium chloride hydroxyethyl starch 40(HH40)injection in prevention for transurethral electroresection of the prostate syndrome(Tuns).MethodsSixty patients with benign prostate hyperplasia(ASA)grades Ⅱ toⅢwere recruited in the study and randomly divided into two groups,one injected intravenously with HH40 at dose of 5 ml/kg by drip after sursical operation a8 experiment and the other injcoted with the same volume of Ringer's solution as control Mcan arterial pressure,heart rate,saturation of blood oxygen(SaO2)and central venous pressure were monitored for all the patients.In addition.serum concentrations of sodium,potassium,chloride and serum osmolality were determined before(T0)and 30 min(T30)and 60 min(T60) after operation,respectively,as well as pH valRe and partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PgCO2)in the gastric mucosa were determined by a Tonocap monitor.Occurrence of TURS and use of atropine,ephedrine and rinse solution were documented.Resuits TURS occurred in four patients in the eontrol group during surgical operation,whereas uo TUns occurred in experimental group.Serum sodium concentration was (126.5±13.3)mmoL/L at T60 in control group,significantly lower than that in experimental group(P＜0.05),while intragastric pH value and PgC02 level were(7.26±0.04)and(54±9)mm Hg[(7.2±1.2)kPa],respectively in controls,significantly higher than those in experimental group(P＜0.05).ConclusionsPre-infusion with HH 40 can improve tissue perfusion and prevent effectively from TURS in patients with transurethral electroresection of the prostate.

Aim To study the effects of Shenfu soup onthe ISO -induced myocardial ischemia injury model ofrats and the influence of apelin level changes on myocardial ischemia.Methods The myocardial ischemiainjury model of rats was established by the subcutaneous injection of ISO.For 1 5 days,rats in Shenfugroups were given by gavage 3,6 and 1 2 g · kg -1Shenfu soup and rats in SF injection group were given6.67 g·kg -1 Shenfu injection,rats in sham group andmodel group were given the same volume of distilledwater.Rats were subcutaneously multipoint injectedISO for 5 days on the eleventh administrating day.Theeffects of Shenfu soup on myocardial morphology,serum myocardial enzyme levels,apelin mRNA level inserum and apelin protein level in myocardial tissue,and relationship between myocardial enzyme and apelinexpression were evaluated. Results Shenfu soupcould reduce the degree of myocardial tissue necrosisand compared with model group,CK values and LDHvalues of rats in middleand highdose groups were significantly lower (P <0.05 or P <0.01 ).However,the apelin mRNA level in myocardial tissue and apelinprotein level in serum of the rats in middleand highdose groups compared with model group had increased(P <0.05,P <0.01 ).Meanwhile,serum levels ofapelin and the expression of myocardial enzyme CK andLDH were negatively correlated.Conclusion Shenfusoup has a protective effect on myocardial ischemia injury in rats induced by ISO and the mechanism is involved with the promotion of apelin mRNA and proteinexpression,the inhibition of myocardial enzyme production and the improvement of myocardial ischemia.

Objective To investigate the effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced changes in the mass and function of pancreatic β-cells.Methods RINm cells were cultured and treated with LPS alone or combined with different concentrations of sitagliptin for 24 h.The proliferation of RINm cells was detected by CCK-8 assay.Apoptotic rate was determined by Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/propidium iodide flow cytometry.Insulin secretion was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The expression of IL-6 mRNA was displayed by RT-PCR.Results LPS significantly stimulated the proliferation of RINm cells (0.89 ± 0.04 vs 1.14 ± 0.08,P＜0.01),while LPS+sitagliptin showed no significant difference compared with LPS group.The cell apoptotic rate in LPS + 10-1 mmol/L sitagliptin group was significantly lower than that in LPS group.There were no significant differences in basal insulin secretion among all groups,but after the high/low glucose stimulation,LPS increased insulin secretion as compared with the control.The IL-6 mRNA expression in LPS+sitagliptin group was significantly lower than that in LPS group (0.77 ± 0.33 vs 1.30 ± 0.41,P =0.006).Conclusions DPP-4 inhibitor has no influence on LPS-induced proliferation of pancreatic β-cell,but it can inhibit LPS-induced apoptosis and insulin secretion,and IL-6 may be involved in the process.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of the common first attack of headache in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Methods The clinical data of 51 patients who were diagnosed as CVST with MR venography (MRV)or DSA were collected retrospectively. The patients were divided into either a acute group (≤3 week,n= 32)or a chronic group (>3 weeks, n=19). Results (1)The age of onset of symptoms in these patients was 20 to 40 years,and most of them were females. Of all the first symptoms,headache ranked first,accounting for 84. 3%(43/51 );headache only accounted for 52. 9%(27/51 ),headache with other symptoms (ophthalmic symptoms, hemiplegia,and aphasia,etc. )accounted for 31. 4%(16/51 ),and other symptoms such as epilepsy, paralysis,and ophthalmic symptoms accounted for 15. 7%(8/51). (2)The proportion of headache only as the first symptom in the acute group was higher than that in the chronic group (65. 6% vs. 31. 6%,P<0. 05), and the proportion of chronic headache with other symptoms as the first symptom in the chronic group was higher than that of the acute group (P<0. 05). In addition,the proportion of the first symptom including ophthalmic manifestations in the chronic group was higher than that of the acute group (P <0.01 ). (3)Forty-three patients with headache,dull headache or distensible pain accounted for 72. 1%(31/43), thunderclap headache accounted for 11. 6%(5/43),and other kinds of headache accounted for 16. 3%(6/43),however,there were no significant differences about the types of headache between the two groups (all P>0. 05 ). Conclusion Young patients without previous history of migraine,especially women of childbearing age with sudden onset and progressive worsening headache,and the patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension,CVST should be considered as an important possibility.

Objective To investigate the protecting mechanism of heat stress pretreatment on acute lung injury(ALI). Methods The oleic acid ALI mouse model was built to dynamically observe the binding capacity and the binding affinity of glucocorticoid receptor(GR),the levels of GR,heat shock protein 90(Hsp90)and Hsp70 before and after hyperthermic stress pretreatment. Results Heat stress pretreatment had significant protective effect on ALI.Western blotting showed insignificant changes of GR levels but progressive increase of level of Hsp70 and Hsp90.Heat stress pretreatment exerted insignificant effect on Bmax and Kd of GR,shown by radio ligand binding assay after ALI. Conclusion The protective effects of heat stress pretreatment on ALI of mouse may relate to its ability of keeping stable GR level and increasing levels of Hsp70 and Hsp90.

Objective To investigate the effect of tube voltage and iodine concentration of contrast medium (CM) on abdominal dynamic enhanced CT image quality.Methods Six miniature pigs underwent repeated upper abdomen dynamic contrast-enhanced CT scans in 4 scanning protocols with different concentration of CM and tube voltage,namely,protocol 1,CM with iodine concentration of 270 milligrams iodine per milliliter (mg/ml) and 80 kV tube voltage;protocol 2,270 mg/ml and 120 kV;protocol 3,370 mg/ml and 80 kV and protocol 4,370 mg/ml and 120 kV.The same iodine dose (600 mg/ml) and iodine delivery rate (IDR) (920 mg/s) were used in all protocols.The CM with iodine concentration of 270 mg/ml were injected at a flow rate of 3.4 ml/s,and 370 mg/ml CM injected at 2.5 ml/s.Image reconstruction was performed with iterative reconstruction (iDose4) in protocol 1 and 3,filtered back projection (FBP) was used in protocol 2 and 4.A subjective scoring system for image quality,image noise and sharpness was conducted by 2 radiologists independently.The measured values (peak of enhanced CT values,image noise of aorta,inferior vena cava,portal vein,hepatic vein and liver parenchyma) as well as the calculated values [their time-to-peak,signal-to-noise (SNR) and contrast-to-noise (CNR) ratios] were compared between among 4 protocols.The CT volume dose index (CDTIvol) and dose length product (DLP) were recorded from the CT console after each scanning.Factorial designed ANOVA was used for comparison of enhanced CT values of vessels and liver parenchyma,noise,SNR and CNR.The Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison of values among the 4 protocols,including the time-to-peak enhancement of vessels and liver parenchyma,the subjective scores of image quality indices.Result There was no significant differences in subjective scores of the image quality,image noise and image sharpness (P＞0.05).The scored were more than 3,and the images with 4 scanning protocols were all acceptable for diagnosis.There was no significant differences between protocol 1 and 3,protocol 2 and 4 in the peak enhancement CT values of aorta [(729±46) HU vs.(707±59)HU,(515±84)HU vs.(513±53)HU],inferior vena cava [(366±95)HU vs.(368±92)HU,(282±39)HU vs.(262 ± 67)HU],portal vein [(213± 18)HU vs.(201 ±29)HU,(180±21)HU vs.(176±27)HU],hepatic vein [(207±18)HU vs.(193±10)HU,(179±24)HU vs.(170±14)HU] and liver parenchyma [(128±7) HU vs.(127±4) HU,(135±5)HU vs.(135±6)HU] (P＞0.05).But the CT values of vessels (aorta,inferior vena cava,portal vein and hepatic vein) in protocol 1 and 3 were significantly higher than those in protocol 2 and 4 (P＜0.05),the CT values of liver parenchyma in protocol 1 and 3 were significantly lower than values in protocol 2 and 4 (P＜0.05).The image noises of vessels were higher in protocol 1 and 3 than noises in other protocols (P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in liver parenchyma noise among protocols (P＞0.05).No significant differences were observed on the peak times,SNR and CNR in aorta,inferior vena cava,portal vein,hepatic vein and liver parenchyma among 4 protocols (P＞0.05).The CDTIvol and DLP were 199.67 mGy,1 597.4 mGy· cm respectively in protocol 1 and 3,585.12 mGy and 4 680.9 mGy· cm in protocol 2 and 4 (scanning with 120 kV).Conclusions CM with different iodinated concentration could achieve the same enhancement in the abdominal vessels and liver parenchyma by using the proper scan protocols,which have the same IDR and iodine dose per kilogram body weight.Higher vessel enhanced peak values were achieved when using the protocols with 80 kV tube voltage than 120 kV.By using a low dose protocol of 80 kV tube voltage with the iterative reconstruction algorithm,the quality of image can be warranted.
