ObjectiveTo explore the psychological training methods on improving the mental adaptation and performance of recruits.MethodsAccording to army's squad establishment,372 recruits were randomly extracted and divided into intervention group (182) and control group (190).A series of special group psychological trainings,such as Warm barracks,Friendly Care,Self-awareness,Interpersonal communication,etc,was applied to the recruits of the intervention group through the squad leaders given psychological training.The effect was assessed with Psychosocial Stress Survey For Groups (PSSG),General Maladjustment Scale (GM),Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS),General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES),Wallace Slef-Concept Scale (WSCS) and Examined Performance.ResultsThe scores of negative emotion was [(3.89±2.01) score vs (2.56±1.65) score ],negative copy was [(3.96±2.52) score vs (2.97±1.78)score],total stress was [(46.36±21.74)score vs (33.71±17.56) score],maladjustment was [(11.26±5.04)score vs (9.10±4.53)score] in the intervention group,which was significantly reduced than those in the control group(P＜0.01).But the scores of positive emotion was [(3.70±1.62) score vs (4.16±1.84) score],positive copy was [(5.21±1.94) score vs (6.93±2.17) score ],subjective support was [(21.37±3.59)score vs (22.56±3.53)score] and support utilization was [(7.03±2.16) score vs (8.92±2.44) score],self-concept was [(74.33±15.72) score vs (80.65±13.98) score],self-efficacy was [(2.44±0.56) score vs (2.91.±0.52) score ] and the examination performance was [(pull-up:(5.12±3.77) times vs (12.09±4.52) times; sit-up:(30.82±9.54) times/3 min vs (70.20±16.83) times/3min; push-up:(21.32±9.73)times/2 min vs (61.75±17.62)times/2 min; Running 3000 meters:(14.17±1.14) s vs (12.82±0.32) s; standing grade throw:(26.68±4.62) mvs (35.38±8.44) m ],which was significantly improved (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).ConclusionsComprehensive group psychological training implemented by Squad leader could effectively improve the ability of adaptation of recruits and promote the performance.

Objective: To explore the reasonable compatibility of anesthetics in painless small intestinal endoscopy by comparing the influence of different target plasma propofol concentrations combined with remifentanil on anesthesia effects and respiratory and circulatory functions.Methods: Two hundred patients requiring small intestinal endoscopy were randomly divided into 4 groups,Group Ⅰ given 1% propofol only,with the target plasma propofol concentration set at 4.5 ?g/ml,and Group Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ receiving 30-second injection of remifentanil(0.3 ?g/kg) 1 min before target-controlled infusion(TCI) of propofol,with the target plasma propofol concentration set at 3.0,3.5 and 4.0 ?g/ml,respectively.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),pulse oxygenation(SpO2),induction time,awakening time,orientation recovery time and the incidence of patients' body motion were observed before anesthesia,at the vanishment of the eyelash reflex,while the small intestine endoscope passing through the Treitz ligament or ileoceal valve and after endoscopy.Results: Compared with baseline values,MAP and HR were significantly decreased in all groups when the eyelash reflex vanished,markedly increased in Group Ⅰ,although not so obvious in Groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ,when the small intestinal endoscope passed through the Treitz ligament or ileoceal valve,and greatly reduced at all time points in Group Ⅳ,with difficult entrance of the small intestine endoscope due to low tension of the intestinal cavity.Comparatively,the induction time was shorter and the awakening time and orientation recovery time were longer in Group Ⅰ,the total dose of propofol and the incidence of body motion notably decreased in Groups Ⅱand Ⅲ,and the incidence of respiratory depression obviously increased in Group Ⅳ.Conclusion: Propofol TCI combined with remifentanil can be used safely and effectively in painless small intestinal endoscopy.Target plasma propofol concentration(3.5 ?g/ml) in combination with remifentanil(0.3 ?g/kg) gives more efficient anesthesia,lower incidence of body motion and respiratory suppression and better recovery.Therefore,it is the suitable anesthetic compatibility in painless small intestinal endoscopy.

Essential hypertension (EH), a complex polygenic disease, is considered to the result of the genetic interaction of multiple gene alterations in concert with environmental factors. Evidences showed that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and G protein beta3 subunit (GNB3) gene are both important susceptibility genes for EH, and that there exists putative biological connection between the two genes in developing hypertension. To investigate whether hypertension was affected by gene-gene interaction between the two genes in the northern Chinese Han population, a case-control association study including 502 hypertensive cases and 490healthy controls was conducted, selecting the ACE gene I/D polymorpinsm and the GNB3 gene C825T polymorphism. Linkage disequilibrium analysis revealed a significant nonrandom distribution only in male hypertensives, indicating that interaction between ACE gene and GNB3 gene may predispose males to the occurrence of hypertension. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression in single locus analysis, with adjustment for common risk factors for hypertension, demonstrated that the OR for DD/ID versus Ⅱ for hypertension among men was significant (OR 1.57; 95% CI, 1.09 ～2.27; P = 0.016) in dominant genetic model. In combination analysis stratified with respect to gender, slightly significant ORs were found after adjustment in males: OR for TT vs CC, 0.11; 95%CI, 0.01 ～0.99; P = 0.049 within ACE DD genotype; OR for DD/ID vs Ⅱ, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.01 ～2.29; P = 0.047 within GNB3 CC+CT genotype. The results suggest that ACE, or a nearby gene, is a male-specific susceptible gene for hypertension, and that there may exist epistatic gene-gene interaction between ACE D allele and GNB3 825C allele.

BACKGROUND:The number of hematopoietic stem cel s in the peripheral blood is very low at normal physiological state. So it is critical to mobilize hematopoietic stem cel s from donor’s bone marrow into the peripheral blood.
OBJECTIVE:To study the combination effect of AMD3100 and dexamethasone on the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cel s in mice, thereby laying the foundation for clinical application.
METHODS:C57BL/6 mice were injected with AMD3100 and dexamethasone alone or in combination. Then, hematopoietic stem cel s in the peripheral blood and bone marrow were col ected. CD34+cel concentration in the peripheral blood and bone marrow was determined by flow cytometer and the content of leucocytes in the peripheral blood was counted by a normal method. The CFU-Mix colony formation ability of hematopoietic stem cel s was identified by cel colony forming assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The concentration of CD34+cel s in the peripheral blood and bone marrow, the content of leukocytes in the peripheral blood and the CFU-Mix colony formation ability of hematopoietic stem cel s were al improved by both AMD3100 and dexamethasone and especial y their combined use. This indicates that both AMD3100 and dexamethasone could mobilize hematopoietic stem cel s to migrate from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood, and when used in combination, the mobilization effect is better than that of single drug.

le-blind, 60 patients scheduled for OPCABG were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group( group C) and 3 dexmedetomidine group(group D1、D2、D2).Patients in each group received saline or dexmedetomidine 0.2μg/kg, 0.4μg/kg, 0.6μg/kg respectively. Hemodynamic variables such as HR、MAP、CVP、MPAP、PCWP、SVRI and PVRI were recorded after entering into the operationroom ( T0 ) , before the anesthesia induction( T1 ) , at 5 minutes after tracheal intubation ( T2 ) , during the sternotomy( T3 ) , at the end of an-astomosis of left anterior descending(T4), at the end of anastomosis of right coronary artery or 1eft circum flex coronary artery(T5) and after operation ( T6 ) .Body tempreture and urine volume were recorded during the operation.Total quantity of analgesics consumption and heart adverse reaction( bradyarrhythmia, tachycardia, hypotension, hypertension etc) were also recorded. Results At T2 -T6 , there was a significant decline in HR, MAP, SVRI, PVRI and CI in group D2 and group D3 compared with group C (P<0.05).SVRI and PVRI in group C and group D2 significantly increased at T3 -T6 compared with those at at T0(P<0.05).At T2 and T6, HR and MAP in group group D2 signicantly increased compared with group D3([57 ±6]times/min vs [52 ±4] times/min, [72 ±7]mmHg vs [63 ±5]mmHg;[72 ±5]times/min vs [55 ±6]times/min, [68 ±5]mmHg vs [63 ±5]mmHg)].At T4 -T6, significant difference was found in CI, SVRI and PVRI between group D2and group D3(P<0.05).In comparison to group C, hypertension, tachycardia in-cidence, noradrenaline amount and isosorbide mononitrate amount declined significant in group D2and group D3(P<0.05);hypoten-sion and bradycardia incidence increased significantly while isosorbide mononitrate amount reduced significantly(P <0.05). Conclusion In OPCABG, dexmedetomidine infused at 0.4μg/(kg· h) after a loading dose of 0.5μg/(kg· 10 min) is useful in maintaining stable hemodynamics which contributes to oxygen balance and reduces myocardium injury in patients.
