Objective To investigate the training of recruits′psychological stress and its relevant influencing factors ,so as to of‐fer scientific basis for the psychological training and psychological health education of recruits .Methods Questionnaire survey method was used and a total of 720 training of recruits in 2013 was sampled .The application of the stress response questionnaire (SRQ) ,eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) ,trait coping style questionnaire (TCSQ) ,symptom checklist (SCL‐90) were used to carry out the psychological test and analysis on these recruits .Results The total score of the SCL‐90 and the score of each factor were significantly lower than the norm of recruits in year of 2000(P<0 .01) .Compared with the norm of SCL‐90 of Chinese sol‐diers in 2004 ,the factor score of somatization ,anxiety and terror were significantly higher than those of domestic soldiers .However , the factor score of hostility and bigotry were significantly lower than those of domestic soldiers (P<0 .05) .The new soldiers who were the only child of the family and was born with urban registered permanent residence had more obvious psychological stress symptoms .The total score of psychological stress and each factor score of new soldiers with different educational level had no sig‐nificant difference (P>0 .05) .According to what was shown in the related analysis ,the SCL‐90 total score .SRQ total score had significant positive correlation with emotional stability and negative coping style(P<0 .01) ,but had significant negative correlation with introversion‐extroversion and waste score(P<0 .01) ,and the total score of SCL‐90 had significant positive correlation SRQ to‐tal score(P<0 .01) .It was shown in the regression analysis that factors had significant predictive effect on the psychological factors of new soldiers during the training period respectively were as follow :negative coping ,stability ,introversion‐extroversion ,psychoti‐cism and whether they are the only child or not .The decisive coefficient of 5 variables was R2 =0 .558 ,F=163 .65(P<0 .01) .Con‐clusion The overall mental health of 2013 recruits training are in good condition ,individual mental health status ,personality traits and coping style training of recruits psychological stress are significant predictors .

[Objective] To explore the activity aberration of primary insomnia (PI) patients with resting-state fMRI.[Methods]Resting-state fMRI datasets of 60 PI and 60 healthy controls were acquired.We investigated the cortical connectivity patterns of the insula in PI and independent-sample t-test were used to compare the brain activity abnormalities between two groups.[Results] In PI,we found enhanced connectivity between left insular with the left middle cingulate cortex,the Frontal_Sup_Media and right Parietal_Inf,as well as decreased connectivity with the left precentral gyrusand the right fusiformgyrus (P < 0.05).The right insular show increased FC with the right middle cingulate cortex,the right fusiform gyrus and the right middle frontal gyrus,as well as decreased FC with the right precentral gyrus and the right middle temporal gyrus (P < 0.05).[Conclusion] This study provides additional evidence of brain functional integration alterations in PI.Those may help us understand the possible neural mechanisms of PI.

Objective To observe the process of polyamidoamine dendrimer modified single walled carbon nanotubes complexes (CNT-PAMAM-D) entering into pancreatic cancer BxPC3 cells, and to evaluate its safety as a vector. Methods The CNT-PAMAM-D were prepared by ultrasound, mixing and rinsing, and the morphology was characterized by atom force microscopy and transmission electron microscope. Then the prepared CNT-PAMAM-D was incubated with human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC3 cells for 12, 48, 72hours, and then the cells were collected. Distribution of CNT-PAMAM-D in cells and cell ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results After the combination of PAMAM-D and CNT, the surface of CNT was surrounded by dendrimer and nanocomposite particles with a size of 20 nm was formed. It was showed that CNT-PAMAM-D could be transfected into human pancreatic cancer cells by cell pinocytotic way, and it entered cytoplasm at 12 h. With the extension of the transfecting time, CNT-PAMAM-D could enter lysosomal and nucleus, but the morphology and ultrastructure ocf BxPC 3 cells was not significantly changed. Conclusions The CNT-PAMAM-D is a highly effective and safe nano vector.
