Objective To evaluate the effect of pronase on amoxicillin and metronidazole concentrations in gastric tissue. Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into experimental group ( n = 70 ) and control group ( n = 70 ) . Amoxicillin ( 28. 6 mg/kg ) , metronidazole ( 22. 5 mg/kg) and omeprazole (138.2 mg/kg) were administered orally to C57BL/6 mice, combined with pronase (110 mg/kg) or same amount of sterile PBS. Gastric tissue and blood plasma samples were taken at 10 point-in time (7 mice/time) from 15 min up to 360 min after administration. Concentrations of amoxicillin and metronidazole were detected by high performance liquid chromatography. Gastritis index of gastric mucosa ( hematoxylin-eosin staining) and the gastric tissue expressions of mucin 5 AC (Western blot) were detected at 120 min and 360 min after administration. Results The time to peak concentration of amoxicillin and metronidazole in gastric tissue appeared earlier than that in blood plasma (15 min vs 60 min). Tissue concentrations of amoxicillin and metronidazole of experimental group were significantly higher than those of control, and they were mainly at 15 min to 90 min (P <0. 05). Plasma concentrations of amoxicillin and metronidazole of experimental group at 15 min and 30 min were higher than those of control ( P < 0. 05 ). There was no difference in gastritis index between experimental group and control at 120 min and 360 min after administration (0.28±0. 18 vs 0. 14 ±0. 14,P>0.05; 0. 43 ±0. 20 vs 0. 28 ±0. 18,P >0. 05). The expressions of mucin 5 AC in experimental group were lower than those of control ( 0. 036 ± 0. 006 vs 0. 197 ± 0. 058; P <0. 05; 0. 039 ± 0. 008 vs 0. 208 ± 0. 072, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusions Pronase can significantly enhance the drugs penetration from mucus into gastric tissue. Concentrations of amoxicillin and metronidazole of experimental group in local gastric tissue and plasma are higher than those of control, especially in improving concentrations of gastric tissue and prolongation of exposed time.

Objective:
To investigate anxiety life interference among primary and middle school students in Henan Province and its influencing factors, and to provide scientific basis for health education in primary and secondary school students.
Methods:
By using cluster sampling method, 3 573 primary school students and 2 748 secondary school students in Henan Province were investigated with Child Anxiety Life Interference Scale(CALIS), Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents(RSCA), Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS), Self-Esteem Scale(SES), General Self-efficacy Scale(GSES).
Results:
There were significant differences in anxiety life disturbance in primary and middle school students by gender(t=2.07, P=0.04), school level(t=-2.29, P=0.02), degree of anxiety(F=119.93, P<0.01), educational level of fathers (F=13.38, P<0.01) and educational level of mothers(F=9.65, P<0.01). The degree of life disturbance caused by anxiety was negatively correlated with mental resilience, social support and self-efficacy(r=-0.25, -0.09, -0.12, P<0.01), and was positively related to self-esteem(r=0.23). Mental resilience (β=-0.21) significantly negatively predicted anxiety interference with life, while self-esteem (β=0.13) and social support (β=0.06) significantly positively predicted anxiety interference with life.
Conclusion
The life of primary and middle school students is seriously disturbed by anxiety, and mental resilience is the primary psychosocial factor that affects the level of anxiety life interference among primary and middle school students.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the dark triad, basic psychological needs satisfaction and guilty proneness.Methods:Totally 595 college students were randomly selected from Zhengzhou University.They were tested with the dirty dozen(DD), the balanced measure of psychological needs scale(BMPN) and guilt-proneness-5(GP-5). SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 21.0 were used for data analysis, including descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Bootstrap measure was used for mediating effect test.Results:(1)The correlation analysis showed that the dark triad (29(21, 37)), Machiavellianism (4(4, 8)) and psychopathy(5(4, 9)) were negatively correlated with guilty proneness (20(16, 23)), and the correlation coefficients were -0.10, -0.22 and -0.18 respectively(all P<0.01). While narcissism (16(12, 21)) was not correlated with guilty proneness ( r=0.04, P>0.01). The satisfaction of basic psychological needs (56(54, 60)) was positively correlated with guilty proneness ( r=0.31, P<0.01). (2)The relationship between the dark triad and guilty proneness was partially mediated by basic psychological needs satisfaction, and the mediating effect accounted for 62.96%. Conclusion:The dark triad influences guilty proneness through basic psychological needs satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, compare the body composition, clinical indicators, and occurrence of poor UC outcomes between the malnutrition group and the non-malnutrition group, and analyze the risk factors of malnutrition.Methods:A total of 104 UC patients hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University during 2019 to 2021 and with relevant data collected through UC-sarcopenia Prospective Study were included. Data including nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) scores, diagnosis of malnutrition per GLIM criteria, body composition data, clinical data and occurrence of poor outcomes were extracted. All patients were screened for nutritional risk using NRS 2002 at admission, and those at nutritional risk were further evaluated for malnutrition diagnosis per GLIM criteria. The prevalence of malnutrition in UC inpatients, the differences in indicators between malnutrition and non-malnutrition groups, and the risk factors of malnutrition were analyzed.Results:Among the enrolled UC patients , 35 (33.7%) were at nutritional risk, and 30 (28.8%) were diagnosed as malnutrition by GLIM criteria. Compared with the non-malnutrition group, the body composition indexes, including body fat mass, protein, skeletal muscle mass, segmental muscle mass, body water, waist circumference, arm circumference, visceral fat area, basal metabolic rate and body cell mass, all decreased to some extent in the malnutrition group ( P < 0.05). Prealbumin and albumin levels were lower ( P < 0.01). The modified Mayo endoscopic score (MMES), C-reactive protein level and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were higher ( P < 0.01). The rates of re-admission and surgery due to disease activity at 90 days were higher ( P < 0.05). High MMES ( OR =1.534, P = 0.044) and low albumin level ( OR =0.781, P = 0.013) were risk factors for malnutrition in UC patients. Conclusions:GLIM criteria is suitable for the diagnosis of malnutrition in hospitalized UC patients, and malnutrition patients are more likely to experience poor outcomes such as short-term re-admission and surgery. UC patients with higher MMES and lower albumin level are more likely to suffer from malnutrition.
