Objective To study the similarities and differences of personality in patients with body-dysmorphic disorder(BDD),obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD) and ordinary person.As well as to provide information for clinical therapy. Methods All BDD patients( n =29),OCD controls( n =30) and normal controls( n =30) completed Self Rating Scale of Body Image (SRSBI) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Results Ten clinical scales score of MMPI in BDD were found significant higher than normal controls which including hypochondriasis,depression,hysteria, psychopathic deviate, masculinity-femininity, paranoia,psychasthenia,schizophrenia,and social introversion.Four clinical scales[(68.18±8.70),(65.44±8.73),(61.39±9.37),(60.70±12.88)] were significant higher than OCD controls[(61.09±13.29),(58.82±10.26 ),(56.23±9.58),(50.03±12.63)] which including psychopathic deviate,psychasthenia,schiaophrenia and social introversion( P ＜0.05). But hysteria scale was significant lower than OCD controls( P ＜0.01). Conclusion BDD patients have abnormal personality which is more significant than OCD patients. Significant abnormal personality are likely the psychopathology of BDD from which the clinic symptom produced.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility,moderate-and short-term efficacies of laparoscopic surgery in the resection of the gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST)with the tumor diameter more than 5 cm.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 26 gastric GIST patients with the diameter more than 5 cm underwent laparoscopic complete resection were retrospectively analyzed.The postoperative recovery,complications and moderate-and short-term prognosis of the patients were observed.Results:All the patients underwent laparoscopic surgery resection without open operation.According to the location and growth types of tumors,the total gastrectomy was performed in 1 case,the approximal gastrectomy was performed in 2 cases,the distal gastrectomy was performed in 2 cases,and the gastric local resection was performed in the rest 20 cases.The mean diameter of tumors was (5.94±1.28) cm,the mean operational time was (84.23±27.02) min,and the mean blood loss was (72.38±34.24) mL.The postoperative recovery time of bowel function was (2.77±0.65)d and the mean length of postoperative hospitalization time was (7.04±2.24) d.There was 1 case of intraperitoneal hemorrhage and 1 case of anastomotic stenosis;they recovered after conservative therapy.The postoperative pathology results(according to the modified NIH standard) indicated the number of moderate-risk patients was 18(69.23%),and the number of high-risk patients was 8(30.77%).A total of 12 cases accepted the adjuvant therapy with imatinib.There was 1 case of hepatic multimetastasis,and there was no local recurrence or death in the other patients.Conclusion:The moderate-and short-term efficacies of laparoscopic surgery in the gastric GIST patients with the tumor diameter more than 5 cm is safe and feasible.

AIM: To investigate the role of p38 protein kinase in the activation of rat alveolar macrophages(AMs) induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS). METHODS: Nuclear protein was extracted, p38 protein kinase in nuclear extracts was analyzed by Western blot. The concentrations of TNF-? and IL-8 in supernatant were measured by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: The concentrations of TNF-?, IL-8 in supernatant and p38 protein kinase in nuclear extracts were increased significantly induced by LPS and blocked by SB203580, a selective inhibitor of p38 protein kinase. CONCLUSION: The inductoin of TNF-? and IL-8 in alveolar macrophages by LPS may be mediated through the activation of p38 protein kinase.
