Oxytocin ( OT ) is a cyclic neuropeptide containing nine amino acids residues, in addition to the traditional roles of uterine contraction and lactation, it also plays important roles in the central nervous system and other peripheral organs, such as improving schizophrenia, autism - related psychiatric and psy-chological symptoms. Oxytocin exhibits its physiological func-tions by binding to its receptor (oxytocin receptor,OTR). Cur-
rently researchers are manipulating OT system by developing new OTR ligand ( agonists and antagonists ) , hoping to prevent and treat OTR related diseases. This paper reviews the latest devel-opment of OTR agonists, antagonists and its physiological roles in central nerve system and peripheral organs.

Objective To investigate the point prevalence rate of social anxiety disorder (SAD) in Chengdu primary school, and analyze the influencing factors. Methods Data came from a large representative sample of Chengdu 1441 primary school students, who were selected by stratified cluster sampling methods. They then finished self-compiled questionnaire, strengths and difficulties questionnaire, Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) (age 7 ~ 15 ), Egma Minnen ay Bardndosnauppforstran (EMBU) respectively. And then they had the face to face interviews with the trained psychiatrists, according to development and well - being assessment ( DAWBA,Chinese Version). Results Among 1441 Chengdu primary students, 37 of them were diagnosed SAD,with a point prevalence of 2.6% totally. The point prevalence was different in each grades, for 2.7% in grade 3,4. 1% in grade 4,4.1% in grade 5,3.5% in grade 6( z= -2.3, P=0. 023 ). Compared with the normal counterparts ,the SAD students had statistically significance different in pro-socialization ( z = -2. 1, P = 0.035 ), affection(z=- 5.2, P = 0. 001 ) , moral conduct ( z = - 2.8, P = 0. 004 ), peer( z = - 3.1, P = 0.002 ), excessive interference of maternal education ( z = - 3.1, P = 0.002 ), introversion-extroversion ( z = - 2. 0, P = 0. 046 ), neuroticism ( z =- 3.5, P= 0. 000), concealing tendency ( z= - 2.3, P= 0.018 ). Logistic regression analysis showed that: grade,family location, habitual lifestyle over the past years more emotional problem and excessive interference of maternal education were related with SAD occurrence. Conclusion The point prevalence rate of social anxiety disorder among Chengdu primary students is 2.6% ,and it was influenced by a number of factors .

Objective:To explore the impact of urinary iodine concentration (UIC) on response to 131I treatment in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients with different risk stratifications. Methods:A total of 181 patients with DTC (75 males, 106 females, age: (44.1±12.5) years), who received the first 131I treatment in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between January 2018 and February 2019, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into low- to intermediate-risk and high-risk groups. The treatment response was categorized into excellent response (ER) and non-excellent response (non-ER). Factors being evaluated including age, sex, preablative stimulated thyroglobulin (ps-Tg), UIC, etc. Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test and logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results:The UIC and ps-Tg in the low- to intermediate-risk group ( n=113) was 111.60(55.80, 204.65) μg/L and 2.08(0.63, 4.91) μg/L, respectively. Compared with the ER subgroup ( n=86), non-ER subgroup ( n=27) had higher UIC and ps-Tg level ( z values: -2.585, -4.511, both P<0.05). In the high-risk group ( n=68), UIC was 115.40(61.23, 167.28) μg/L and ps-Tg was 16.65(4.52, 43.45) μg/L. Compared with the ER subgroup ( n=20), non-ER subgroup ( n=48) had higher ps-Tg level ( z=-4.677, P<0.01), while the UIC was not significantly different between ER and non-ER subgroups ( z=-0.013, P>0.05). The multivariate logistic analysis indicated the ps-Tg level was the significant variable for non-ER in low- to intermediate-risk group (odds ratio( OR)=6.157(95% CI: 1.046-36.227); OR=22.965(95% CI: 3.591-146.857), both P<0.05) and high-risk group ( OR=9.696 (95% CI: 1.379-68.169), P<0.05); a high UIC could be an indicator of non-ER only in the low- to intermediate-risk group ( OR=3.715(95% CI: 1.201-11.488), P<0.05). Conclusions:The non-ER is associated with UIC in the low- to intermediate-risk group; however, UIC does not affect the non-ER in the high-risk group. Higher ps-Tg level is associated with non-ER in patients with low- to intermediate-risk and high-risk DTC.
